A large number of the citizens of Illinois, sojourning in tia.suir.gton, immeiliately j after the inauguration of Andrew Johnson I as President of the United State, culled on J His Excellency, and after a speech of con gratulation from Gov. (glehy, President i Johnson replied as follows: j Gknti.i:.mi-n : I have listened with pro I found attention to the kind words you have nddiei-scd to me. 1 he visit of this large del egation to speak to me through you, tir, tliej-e words o encouragement 1 had not an ticipated. In the mi !i-t of the saddening circumstances which surround us and the iin ineiiM' responsibility thrown upon me, an ex pression of the confidence, of individuals, and still more, of an influential body lihe that before inc. repres-i nting a great common wealth, cheers and strengthens my heavily Imitheued mind. I am at a loss for words to respond. In an hour like this ol deepest sorrow, were it pos-ible to embody in w ords the feeling ( my bosom, 1 could not com mand my lips to" utter them. Perhaps the best reply 1 could make, und the one most readily appropriate to your kind assurances of confidence, Would be to receive them in silence. The throbbing of tny heart since the sad catastrophe which has appalled the country cannot be reduced to words, aud oppressisl as I am by the new and great re sponsibility w hich has devolved upon me, saddended w ith grief, I can with difficulty respond to you nt all. Rut I cannot permit sucii expressions of the confidence reposed in me by the people, to piss without ac knowledgement. To an individual like my self, who lias never claimed much, but who has, it is true, received from a generous peo ple many marks of tru.st and honor for a long time, an occasion like thia and a mani festation of public feeling so well-timed, are peculiarly acceptable. Sprung from the peo ple myself, every pulse, as one with the popular In-art, Hints an immciuatc answer in my own. liy many men in public life mich occasions are often considered merely formal. To me they are real your words of countenance and encouragement sink deep in my heart, and were I even a cow. anl I could but gather front them strength to carry out my convictions of right. Thus feeling I shall enter upon the dis cha ge of my great duty, firmly nnd atcad fastly, applause, if not with the signal ability exhibited by my predecessor, which is still frct.li in our sorrowing minds. Need I repeat that no heart feels inoru sensibly than mine this great atlliclicx In what I say on this r.cta;-i'n I shall in dulge in no petty spirit of anger no feel ing of reveng-e. Rut we have beheld a not able event in tliu history of mankind. In the midst of the American people, where every citizen is taught to obey law and ob kcrvt) the rules of Christian conduct, our Chief Magistrate, the beloved of all hearts, has been assissinated, and when we trace his crime to its cause, when we rcmcmhci the sou rie whence the assassin drew his in spiration, and then look at tl.e result, we tituhd yet more astounded at this tuual bar' bjrous, mutt diabolical assination.

We can trace Its 1 source which is tb spring cf al". ottr woee. No one can say that if the perpetrator of this fiendish act be arrested be should not undergo the extrmest penalty and law knows for crime, Hone will say that mercy should interpose, Bat is be alone guilty"? Here gentlemen, you perhaps expect me to pre sent tome indication of my future policy. One thing I will say, every era teaches Its lesson. The times we live in are not w ith out instruction. The Americnn people must be taught, if they do not already feel, that treaion is a erimt and mvit bt puni$hid Ap plause. That tU Government will nvt ul vayt War vith itt tntmiti. That it i$ strong not only to protect, but to punish. Ap plause. When we turn to the criminal code aud examine the catalogue of crime we there find arson laid down as a crime with its appropriate penalty. We there find theft aud robbery and murder given as crimes, and there, too, ice find the hut and hiyhent vf crivittrenntn. Applase. With other and inferior offences our people nre iamiliar, but in our peaceful history trtaivn has been almost unknown. The ueonle must understand that it is the blackest of crimes, nnd will be surely punished. Ap plause. 1 make this idlusion not to ex excite the already exasperated feelings of the public, but to point out the principals of public justice which should guide our action at this particular juncture, and which accord with sound public morals. Let it be engraven upon every heart that treason is crime and traitors should suffer its penalty. Applause. While we arc appalled and overhelmsd at fall of one man in our midst by the hand of a traitor, shall we allow I care not by what weapons an attempt on the life of tliu State with impunity 1 While we strain our minds to enperhead the enormity of the as sination, shall we allow the nation to be as sinated? (Applause. 1 speuk in no spirit of unkindnefs. I leave the events of the future to be disposed of us they arise. Regarding myself as the hum ble instrument of the Americnn people in this, ns in ull things, justice and judgement shall be determined by them. 1 do not har bor bitter or revengeful feeling towards ant. In general terms, I would say that public moral should be established upon the sure uud infallible principal of justice. Ap plause. J When the question of exercising mercy comes before me, it will be considered calm ly aud judicially, remembering that I nm tiie Executive of the Nation. I know that men love to have their names spoken of in connectiou with acts of mercy, und how easy it is to yield to the impulse. Hut irt Viu.it hftjurijtt that irhat may le mercy to the indicidual in cruelty to the tStati: Ap plause. In the exercise of the mercy there should be no doubt lett that this high prorogative is not used to relieve a few at tho expense of many, lie ussureil I shall never forget that 1 am not to consult my own feellings ulone but to give un account to the whole people. Applause. In regard to my future course, I will now make no professionsno pledges. 1 have been connected somewhat actively w ith pub lic affairs, and to tiie history of my past public ucts, w hich is faniiliar to on,"l reler for those principles which have governed me heretofore and will guide me hereafter. In general I will say that I have long labor ed for the amelioration uud deration of the gtent mass of mankind. My opinions as to the nature of popular government have long I been cherished, and, constitut'd ns 1 am, it ; is now too late in life for me to change them. i believe Hint the government was made for man, not man for government. Applause. j This struggle of the people ueaiust the , most gigantic rebellion that the world ever I s-itv has demonstrated that tlw attachment I of the people to their Government is the strangest national defence human wisdom I can devise. Applause. So long as each man Itels that the interests of the Govern ment are his interests, so long as the pub lic heart turns in the right direction, and the people understand and appreciate the theory of our Government and our liberty I our Constitution will be transmitted uniin J paired. If the time ever comes when the j people shall fail it, the Government will inn, una we sna.i cease to be one ot the na tions of the earth. After having preserved our form of free government, and shown its power to maintain its existence through the vicissitudes of nearly a century, it may be that it was necessary for us to pass through this last ordeal of intestine strife to prove that this Government will not perish from internal weakness, but w ill ever stand able to deleiid itself against all foes and punish treason. Applause. In the dealings of un inscrutable Provi dence, and by the operation of the Consti tution, I have been thrown unexpectedly into this position. My past Life, and es pecially my course during the present un holy rebellion, is before yoj. I have no piinciples to retract. 1 defy any one to point to any of my public acts iu variance with the fixed principles which have guided me through life. I have no professions to offer. Professions and promUcs would 'be worth nothing ut this time. No one can foresee the circumstances that will hereafter arise. Had uny man gifted with prescience, four years ago ii ported and written down iu advance the events of the period, the story would have seemed more marvellous than anything in the Arabian Nights. I shall not attempt to anticipate the future. As events occur, and it becomes necessary for me to act, I sha'l dispose of each us it arises, deferring any declaration or message until it can be written paragraph by para graph in the height of events us they trans pire.

Carpenter, the well-known pain ter, has written a note in reference to a poem much admired by Mr. Lincoln. He says : "I have been urged by several friends to send you the enclosed poem, written down by myself from Mr, Lincoln's lips, and although it may not be new to all of your readers, the events of the last week give it now a peculiar interest. The cir cumstances under which this copy was written dowD are these: I wus with the Pre sident alone one evening in his room, dur ing the time I wns painting my large picture at the White House, lust year, lie present ly threw aside his pen nnd pupers, and be gan to talk to me of Shakspeare. He sent little " 1 liait," ins son, to the .Unary to bring a copy of the plays, and then read to me several of his fuvorite passages, show ing genuine appreciation of the great poet. relapsing into n sadder strain, he laid tho book aside, and leaning back in his chair, said: "There is n poem which has been a great favorite with me lor years, which was first shown to tr.e w hen a young man by a friend, and which I atterwards saw and cut from a newspaper, ami iearned by heart. I would," he continued, "give a great deal to know who wrote it, but 1 have never bren ublo to ascertain." Then, half closing his eyes, be repeated to me the lines w hich 1 enclose to you. Oh! Wlij Should llir Spirit of .Mor tal l I'roud. Oh, why should the spirit of mortal he proud; Liken swift, fleeting meteor, a fust-flying cloud, A flash of lightening, n break of the wave, He passcth from life to his rest in the grave. The lca"es of the oak und the willow shull fade, He scattered around the toge her be laid ; And the young and the old, and the low aud the high, Shall moulder to dust, and together shall lie. The infant nnd mother, attended and loved: The mother thai inliint'c affection who prov ed : The husband that mother nini infant who blessed, Each, all, are away t.) their dwellings of Rest. The hand of the king that the sceptre hath borne; The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn ; The eye of the &ige and the heart of the hinve, Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave. The peasant, whose lot was to sow nnd to reap ; The herdsman, who climbed with his goats up the steep; The beggar, who wandeied in seaich of his bread. Hate faded away like the grass that we tread. So the multitude goes, like the flower or the weed That withers away to lrt others succeed ; So the multitude comes, even those we be hold, To repeat every tale that has often been told. ! For we are the same our fa'hers have been ; j We see the same sights our fathers have j seen ; : We drink the same stream und view tb- same s'.u, And run the ssuie course our fathers have run. The thoughts we are thinkinj our fathers would think , From the death we nre shrinking our fath ers would shrink ; To the lile we are clinging they also would cling; Hut it speeds for u all, like a bird on the wing. The loved, but the story we cannot unfold; They scorned, but the heart of the haughty is cold ; They grieved, but no wall from their slum wilt come ; They joyed, but the tongue of their glad ness is dumb. They died, aye! they died ; we things that are now. That walk on the turf that lies over their brow. And make im their dwellings a transient abode, Meet the things that they n.et on their pil gi image road. Yea! hope and ilcspondcucy, pTeasure anil pain, We mingle together in sunshine and rain; And the smile and the tear, the b.mg and the dirge, Still follow each other, like surge upon surge. 'Tis the wink of the eye. 'tis the draught of a breath, From the blossoms of health to the paleness of death. From the gilded saloon to the bier and the bhroud; Oh, why should tho upiiit of mortal b. proud ! JeC. DuyIm' Ti'ii Sen ! ir-ncnlcl lo 1'rt-kitlcut .loliHuou. Last night a coffee or a tea set, formerly used by Jelf. Oavas, and sold ut auction, w ith a ipianti'y of silver plate, just previous to tho evacuation of the city by the rebels, was presented to President Johnson by a gentleman of Hichmond w ho purchased the article at the auction sale. The coffee nr tea set in question is a perfect miniature ot fao-auuila of a railroad locomotive, with tender attached. The locomotive boiler receives the coffee or tea, makes uud dis charges it through a spiggot, a steam whis tle indicating when the tea or coffee is ready. The boiler of the locomotive is of proce 1 tin, and the figure of the fireman, of the same material, appears on the locomotive vigorously ringing the bell, which wo sup pose, means the breakfast, dinner or supper hell. The tender, which is an admixture of brass and other metal, carries sugar in an elegant sugar caisson, w ith goblet for Cog. nine, and stunning small cut glasses. The. sides of the tender aro etnbillished with rucks for segan. The most curious contrivance of nil Is the secret music Iwvx, located somewhere in the tender, w hich being set plays eight popular airs, sufficient in length to entertain a sup per, dinner and breakfast table. The whole establishment, engine and tender, rests upon two beautiful enameled waiters. Upon the tide of the locomotive, in miniature, is em blazoned, "President JeTferson Davis'' show, ing that the testimonial, locomotive and tender, where built expressly for his use or pleasure. Upon the front, just above where the fiow-catcher ought to be, appears the Confederate national banner and battle flag, entwined with the national ensign of France. 6buuivUtu Coal Trade.
