Tlio work begins with aa introductory chapter giving a brief but interesting sketch of Mr. Lincoln's earlier life, from which we learn Mint ho was born on February 12, 1800 iu llnrdin county, Kentucky, of poor pa rents, who emigrated from the slave states to the free states, as so many thousands have done, to secure to their children the advantage of free schools nnd free society. "At seven years of ogo ho was sent to school to a Mr. Hazel, carrying with him an old copy of Dilworth's Spelling Book, one of the three bonks that formed the family library. Ills father keenly felt tho disad vantage arising from his own lack of educa tion, nnd determined, iu spite of difficulties almost inconceivable, to give his son better facilities for study than lie hud himself en joyed. His mother was a Christian woman, and desired earnestly that he should learn to read tho Bible. ''After a while ho learned to writo. This was an accomplishment which some of tlio friendly neighbors thought unnecessary, but his father quietly persisted, and the boy was set down as a prodigy wheu ho wrote to an old friend of his mother's a travelling preacher nnd begged him to como nnd preach a sermon over his mother's grave. Tli ice months nftcr Parson Elkius came, nnd friends assembled, a year after her death, to pay a last tribute of respect to one univer sally beloved and respected. Her son's share in securing tho presence of the clergyman was not uiimcntitiiicd, nnd Abraham soon found himself culled upon to write letters for his neighbors. "His father married a second time a Mrs. .Sally Johnston, who proved a most excel lent motuer to lier Men son, ana wno now survives to take her share of the credit to vluch she is entitled for her faithful care, lie split rails enough before ho was twen ty one to niake a rail lence around his fath er's new farm in Illinois ; he took part, as captain of volunteers, in the Blackhawk Yur ; he tried for a timo ''store keeping," but did not succeed ; ho made a flat-boat voyage down the Mississippi to Xew Or leans; and tinally determined to study law, and rose to the foremost rank at the bur of his state, as well as become one of the prin ciple political leuders of the West. Mr. Haymond, in the remainder of the book, gives a lucid exposition of tho most important events of the last three years, in the shape of a running commentary on Mr. Lincoln's different state papers, of which there is here a complete complexion, as well as of many letters 11 ml of despatches, some of which have not before buen published. lie gives, in one chapter, 11 close analysis of the celebrated campaign of Gen. McC'lellan, aud convicts Irim, from his own despatches and letters, of conduct unworthy of a patri otic officer conduct which will some day make his name odious to the American people. Of Mr. Liucoln's character, Mr. Raymond writes : 'From the outset Mr. Lincoln's reliance was ttpou the Fpirit and patriotism of the people. He had no overweening estimate of bis own sagacity ; he was quite sensible of his lack of tint praUunl Knowledge of men anil affairs which experience of both alone can give ; but hu had faith iu the de votion of the people to the principles of re publican government, in their attachment o ti.e u.tiMitunon , ami tlio Luion, nnd in hi i.i,u,.i,u oti-j u, iia, Kiniuuui' ty which alwavs tiaiisceiuis the moat cun ning devices of individual men, aud iu great und perilous crisis more resembles inspira tions tbun tbu mere deductions of the hu man intellect.

Hu has had command of an army greater than tliat of any living mon arch ; he has wielded authority less restrict ed than that conferred by tiny other consti tutional government ; he has disbursed sums of money equal to the exchequer of any na tion in '.he world ; yet no muii, of any party, believes him iu any instance to have aimed ut his owu uggrandueiiietit, to havo been actuated by jm r.ouul ambitiou, or to have eoli.ulu-d any uther interest than too welfare of his country aud the perpetuity of its re publican form of government.

General James 8. Wadswohth was one of those soldiers who was influenced by no personal ambition in taking nctivo part in the war. He entered tho service as an aid on the staff of General McDowell; wns appointed a brigadier general in 18H1 ; served as Military Governer over Washing ton ; fought bravely at Gettysburg; was the candidate of the Union party in New York for the Governorship in 1802, and would have beea elected had the soldiers had the opportunity of voting; was killed in the battle of last Friday, w hile gallantly riding at the head of his division and ur ging on his men. This career has no stain. It was inspired wholly by. courage nnd duty. A writer in tho Evcninn Port ha friven some anecdotes of General Wadsworth which deserves to be recorded. Three weeks ngo, ho saw tho General in his camp near Cul pepper, preparing bis division for the field, lie had the reputation of taking good care ol Ins men. At tins time the writer heard him relate the following capital story, which shows the spirit of the man better than a volume of biographical comment : "I remember, during tho march thtough Maryland, beforo the battle of South Moun tain, wo passed over a tract of country ex tremely rugged and stony, nnd I saw not only men but officers wnlking along with bleeding feet. Tho men's shoes gave out entirely. It hurt my feelings more than 1 can tell you to see the good fellows trudge along so. We came to a town on tho lino of march, nnd I, who was riding nt tho head of the column, spurred ahead to sco if. .,. .!..... r could purchase what wero needed for tho men. All the shops wero closed ; the first men I saw were two sitting outside of a closed shop "Arc tht-r'e anv shoe stores iti this town?" I asked. They replied, in a grulf way, that Nhey could not tell-there might be nnd there might not. 1 told them that I wanted to buy shoes for my troops, who were bare- footed. They replied they guessed I would'nt get many "At that," said the General, "I got angry. I wo pairs of shoe!, at any I in vour feet. Tuko them ! Said I, there are two rate, which I sec on off instantly! I shouted to them. They were ubligcd to do it. I went through thu town, i and took the shoes off every man's feet I could see : and thus I rained about tu n hun- I drcd pairs In all. n.. ,. f..n... :n... whom I met, I did not deprive wiiv iiuc ,iiu, n unlit 1, l,ln. rC l,;u own pair; I rode up to hiin and asked if ho iiiiii w had any shoes ho could spurc me, describing the pitiable condition of my men. The old man said: 'I don't know if there's any shoes in the house or not, but,' looking down at bis feet, 'here's a pair you're welcome to, at any rate.' I would not let him take them off, but he gavo mo somo from his house. All the rest I stripped." Death of t cue nil So!h;m It'U. The loss of Major-lleneral Sedgwick comes to us w ith an added sadness because of the seeming Heedlessness of the death. Instead of falling in the immediate crush of battle, ho was picked off by the bullet of a rebel sharpshooter while hu was talking to his men, and even smiling at their fears of the random shot that at intervals Hew lv them. One ball Lit him in the forehead, and with- i out a word he tell buck dead into tlio urius , , of his adjuttint. j Slajor-Uencral John Sedgwick wna born in Ciiuneeticut, graiiim'.ed at West Point il. 1S37, und entered the regular army as sec ond lieutenant in the Second artillery regi ment. He served in the Mi-xicaii war, par ticipating iu the battles of Moliuo tlel ltey mid ('li.ipiilH prc, and his gallantry won for him repeated promotion. He was commis sioned us a captain in IS 10 and a major iu ! ly.jj. Iu 1301, at the breaking-out of the rebellion, he was made colonel of the Fourth wvixhjt retaining this rank in the regular army till his death ; but in the meantime ho was made a brigadier-general ot volunteers, and iu Ibli'i a nlajor-general. There are but few of the battles in which the Army of the Potomac took part in which (ieneral Sedgwick was not conspicu ous. He was twice wounded on the Penin sula, aud three times at Antietam. At Get- ,w anJ Cinncellorvillo he was pro mi- neut for good generalship, as well as person- bravery. His abilities were tully apiiro- dated by the government, and on two sepa in iustlllice moiit.s;.v .lorliuin the honor, General Sedgwick wa nbout firty years of age and unmarried. Few oiHcers in the nrmy were as thoroughly educated soldiers as he, and few loved their profession better. His loss at this crisis is a heavy one to his country, as well as to his numerous friends both in aud out of tho urmy. General Sedwick was a stout, finely-formed man, in vigorous health, and w ith a bio If, frank face, and erect soh'ieily figure. Ho looked like what he was a thorough sol dier, brave, alert, of commanding presence aud a clcur piercing eyo. Yet he had with al au open kind smile, and a munner which attracted younger men to him, und no doubt made his troops fond of him. The lauiiuviliu i:ollllou. Gavlev llmuiiE, West Yirgiuia,May 18.

Thero wero four brothers Bedford, who kept a negro pen for five years beforo tho war on Adams street, in rev of tho Kpiscopal Church, Memphis; John, a cripple and a gambler, v,Tu was jailor and clerk for Bedford; Bill Forrest, nn extensive negro-trader at Vicksburg; and Aaron Forrest, general agent and soul-driver to scour the country for his other brothers. They accumulated large sums of money in their nefarious trade, and Bedford won by that and other indueuct s a natural promo tion to a Brigadier in the reliel Confederacy. He is about DO years of age, tall, gaunt, aud sallow visnged, with a long nose, deep set, black, snaky eyes, fall black beard without a mostachc, nnd hair worn long. He usu ally wore, while in tho "nigger"' tiado in Memphis, a stove-pipe hat set on the back ofhis head at an angle of forty-five dergrees. He was accounted mean, vindictive, cruel, nnd unscrupulous. He had two wives one white, the other colored (Catharine,) by each of which he had two children.

A mistaken notion prevails with many that animals need little or no litiht while I confined ill the stable. Physiologists declare that, other things being equal, families who occupy up art tn cuts on the (funny side of dwellings are the most healthy and happy Fresh air and sunlight are "promotive of health, and yet, in the construction of sta- bles for animals, many seem to forget that bles for animals, many seem to forget tiiese requisites are important. One would suppose that iu localities where the attention of farmers is almost exclusive ly devoted to stock anything connected w ith the management of animals conducing to their health and comfort would be the sub ject of thought. Yet how few even for a moment are willing to give this subject the attention it deserves. To suppose that uu animal con lined iu a dark, damp, unventi lutcd stable, will thrive, and be abletoyield the same profit that it would if occupying a place tbe reverse of these, is to bo supposed an impossibility. Disease, though it may not at first be appareut to the eye, is, never theless, doing its work, and iu some way will make itself felt to tho loss of the owner. Hogs that have their pens so made that the sunlight can be tieely admitted thrive better aud are more easily fattened than when condued in pens where the rays of the sun never penetrate. So with horses. Se rious diseases are engendered from badly constructed stables. The horse is fond of fresh air and light, and his stable should be irovided with the means of thorough veuti atiou, und the admission of Ihu sun's rays ; he enjoys these quite as much as his muster, and it seems thoughtless and cruel to de prive so good a servant of that w hicli costs nothing, but yet serve to make him happier und more contented with his lot in life. Doubtless animals, like men, have their days in which tilings are turned topsy-turvv, aud could their feelings be expressed In words w e doubtless should hear sad stories uf their, being c imH.'lled, Under the whip, to do heavy ami exhausted work w hen sick, aud ol being deprived of comforts through the iguorancu ami thoughtlessness of those who have them in cure. Oa the score of economy we believe that it pays to treat all annuals kindly, und to provide them with suitable buildings for shelter. We know from actual experience that the cow that has tiei-u wintered in a warm, dry, well veutilated stable, properly fed aud cared for, will pay for all extra trouble aud lalxir in the increased quantity and better quality of milk yielded through tho summer follow iu;;. When wu lu ar of dairymen complaining that the annual yield of iheeao per cow bus fulh u itow n to limn huut'red or three tiundrut and fifty pounds, wu have strung eusii'u imi that the fault tiea somewhere iu the Leepimj or management of stock. We hold that a good stable for lock should le providid with windows to admit sunlight, it should I dry ami well ventiUled, aud the aaute gencrai Miles for health applicable to erou should be ever before the to of the lui iutr, and guide hiui iu his trealmt'Ut of eto k.

A Horned Woman. Somebody who has seen whereof lie peaks writes from Larnaca, in tho island of Cyprus to tho 'Observer," of New York, an elabor ate account of a woman living at Livndta, in Cyprus, who has horns grow ing out of her bead : "I at once despatched a secret agent, and succeeded after a few days in obtaining a sight of this most wonderful cornigerous creature. tue told me, viva voce, that she suffered greatly from this affliction, and would never havo revealed it, but for a vision she had lately, when nn old man with silvery and long flowing 'ocard presented himself to her, leaning on a crutch, and warned her not to conceal it longer that it was from God, npo tou Thcou, and that He would inflict her even more if she concealed it any longer. l?ho at once con lessen to the priest, and then revealed her mysterious con dition. She has one horn on the side of her head thrco or four inches long, and an inch in circumference, besides three or four corni cles on other parts of tho head, one of which she says she broke off. It is now iu posses sion 01 the French doctor of this place. These horns are attached to the skin of the head, and not to tho bone, resembling in texture and appearance the horns of a goat not the silver horn of the Druze woman, but as much a part of her as her hair or head, bhe has been visited by nearly all tho consuls aud Europeans in this tilace. somo of whom are making an effort to secure tier tor cxiubitton in Europe." Another letter to a geutlcman in the same city says that one of tho horns "is equal iu size to an ordinary ram's horn." The Italian consul at Cyprus offered the wo man one hundred thousand francs to go to Paris. Chrcrimpr r from Ifullor. Baltimoue, May 1810 A. m. We learn that there is cheering news in this city from Gen. Butler's army. Larue reinforcements have ironc forward. nnd tho combined force amounted to not less than sixty thousand nicu. These were I uivmea into three parties, one menacing Petersburg, and keeping tho rebel troops employed there. Another was besieging Fort Darling, with every prospect of au early success, while a third army larger, than either of the others, was marching upon Richmond. Hopes were expressed that the rebel Capi tal would soon be captured. Indeed pro minent officers predicted that the city would be ours beforo Wednesday, 18th inst. These rumors came through previous to the arrival of Gen. Sheridan's cavalry, which would be a large and valuable addi tion to the forces operating under Gen. But ler's command. Certain information had come to Land that the Danville road had been cut by Gen. Kauu. The roads in that part of Virginia are in admirable condition, and the prevailing rains would not impede military opera tions. The only bad news at hand is that Beaurc- K"J. w'th a Urge lorce had made a K h,frm V- cld'i lVtt rslmrg htt ' '.e, h,le ,of ho. railroad, .an forced to the left of the line oftho railroad, and had reached Kichinoud. doubtless on his wav to joiu Lee's army.

At an examin ation iu the case of a farmer in a Scotch court, on his sister entering the box to bn examined, the following conversation took place btweeu her and the opposing agent : "How old arc yon?" said tho lawyer. ". well, sir. 1 am an unmarried woman, and I dinna think it right to answer that question." "O yes, inform tho gentlemen how old you are," said the judge. "Weel a weil. 1 am fifty." "Are yi.u not more ?" "Wet-l, I mil ixty." The inquisitive lawyer still farther asked if t.lio had hopes of getting married, to which Miss Juue replied : "Weel, sir, I whuia tell a lie; I hinna lost all hone yet." And she scornfully added, "Bi't I ividna marry you, for I nui sick and tired o your palaver ulreadv." AitTKMt s Wam In an affecting account of his courtship with'' Betsy Jane," Artemu.l Wnrd says : Thero were many affectin' ties which made mo hanker after Betsy Jaue. Her father's farm jiued ourn ; their cows and ourn squenehed their thirst at tho samo spring; our old marcs had stars in tbeir forreds; the measles broke out iu both fami lies nt nearly the same time ; our parents ( Betsy June's and mine) slept rcgulury every Sunday in the same uieetin' house, und tho nabors used to observe, "How thick tho Wards nnd Teasels air!" It wad a sublimo sigtit in the spring ot the year to see our several mother (Betsy's and mine) with their gowns pinned up so that they couldn't silo 'em, tllecshuttly biliu' soap together and uuuosmg uic uaoors. A Mkdicime Abcrnethy's prescription to a wealthy patient wns: "Let your servant bring you three or four pails of water aud put it into a wash-tub; take off vour clothes, get into it, and from head to "foot rub yourself well with it, and you'll re cover." "This advice of yours seems very much like telling uio to wash myself," 6aid tho patient. "Well," said Abernethy, "it is open to that objection." The following stanza, on the marriage of KeuUen ise with Matilda Cheevis, is cecdliugly well told nnd witty : At length she suited the proffer d prize, , (A hnppv one believe us.) For matrimonv mado her Wise Ucforc she wad Miss Cheevis. A Lady having spoken sharply to Dr. Parr, apologized by saying "It is the privilege of women to talk nonsense." Tho doctor replied, "Xo. madam, it is not tbeir privilege, but their infirmity. Ducks would walk if they could, but nature suffers thtui only to w addle." AGRICULTURAL. Wash mm Ui ildisos. Take a clean bar rel that will hold water; put into it half a bushel of quick lime, aud slack it by pouring boiling water sufficient to cover it four or five luetics deep, stiriug it until it is slacked.

To make the above wash of a pleasant cream color add three pounds ot yellow ochre. For fawn color add four pounds umber, oue pound of Indian red, and ono pound lamp-black. For gray or stone color ndd four pounds raw umber and two pounds lamp-black.
