I'ho Voice ol Ihe ICnRllsih Ire1iT
From The London Star, April 27.
The Appalling tragedy which has just
been perpetrated at Washington is absolute
ly wTthont historical precedent. Not in the
records of tho liercest Europe convulsion,
in the darkest hour of partisan hatreds, Imve
wo an example of nn assassin plot at once
so foul and so senseless, Go tiorriulo and so
successful, as that to which Abraham Lin
cola has ftbeady fallen a victim, and from
which William II. Seward can hardly escape.
Only in inch instances as tho rmrdoi erf
William ef Orange, of Henri Quatrc, or of
Capodistria, have we any deed approaching
in hideous ferocity to that which has just
robbed tho United States of one of the great
est of their J'rcsidonts. But from the fana
tic's hateful point of view there was at least
something to be said for men like Balthazar,
Gerard and Knvnilluc. They at least might
have believed that tliey saw embodied in
their victims the whefe living principle and
motive power of that religions freedom
which they detested. They might have
tufiposTKi that with the man would die the
great hopes nd tho great tamo he inspired
ond guided. So, too, of Orfini. That un
fortunate and guilty being bidived, at least,
that in Napoleon Hi. there stood an embo
died and concentrated system. But Alrt-a-

and the resources of a great people. Tho !

mis no nppucuuon to itie wreicii wuoso teion
hand dealt death to the pure and noble
MtgistTtVCo of a Prcro nation. One would
gladly, for the poor sake of common human
ity, have caught ut the idea that the trime
wits but tho work of sonic MianiacHl partisan.
But tho mere nature of the deeds, without
any additional evidence whatever, bids de
fiance t"! such an idea. While the ono mur
derer was slaying the President of the He-
public tho Cher was making his even moro j
dastardly attempt upon the life of tho sick
Ami prostrate Secretary. It do not need
even th-e. disclosures which have now, too
late for tiny gT-d purpose, reached oflicial
quarters to prove that two inndtnen cannot
become simultaneously Inspired with tho
same monstrous project and impelled at the
one moment to do their several r aH of tho
one bloody business. The chivalry of tho
South has had much European couiplimPht
of late. It hat, beeu discovered to be the
fount and origin of all the most noble and
knightly qualities which the world hereto
fore had principally known through the
medium ot niediaval romance. Let it not
be forgotten that Southern brains lately
planned the conflagration of a peaceful city.
It never can be lorgotton, whilo history is
read, that the hands of Southern partisans
have lx?cn roililonoil by liui fuulnt aaansain
plot the world has ever known ; that they
have been treacherously dipped in tho blood
of cr.e of tlie best citizens and purest pa
triots to whom the land of Washington gave
birth.
From Th Daily News, April 27.
In the hour of his great work done, Provi
dent Lincoln has fallen. Not, indeed, in
the flush of triumph, for no thought of tri
umph was iu that honest and humble heart,
nor in the intoxication of applause, for the
fruits of victory were not yet gathered in his
hand, was the Chief of the American people
the foremost mini in the great Christian re
volution of our age, struck down. Bat his
tusk was nevertheless, accomplished, nnd
the battle vf his life was won. So he passes
away from the heat and tho toil that etill
have to be endured, full ot tho honor that
belongs to one who hns so nobly done his
part, aud carrying in his last thoughts the
sense of deep steadfast thankfulness that he
uovv could sco the assured coming of that
end for which he had so long striven in
fai'h and hope. Who shall pity or lament
such a death, while tho tears of a nation tall
upor. Iiu corpse, and the world softly ppcaks
how true and good he was ? Who will not
bow the head submissive to the inscrutable
decree which mocks our plans and fancies,
but even in our For row makes us feel that
it ii wiser, juster, kinder, than our vain
wishes might have been 1
For in all time to come, not among Ame
ricans only, but among all who think of
manhood as more than rank, and set worth
above display, the came of Abraham Lin
coln will be held in reverence. Hisiug from
among the poorest of the people, winning
his slow way upward by sheer hard work,
preserving in every successive stage a char
acter unspotted and a name untainted, se
curing a wider respect as he became better
Known, never pretending to more tnan lie
was, nor being less than he professed him
self, he was at length for very singleness of
heart and unrmhtness of conduct, because
all felt that they could trust him utterly, and
would desire to be guinea by Lis iirinness,
courage and sense, placed in Ihe chair of
President at the turning point of his nation's
hiatory. A life so true, rewarded by a dig
nity so majestic, was defense enough against
tho petty shafts of malice which party spirit
violent enough to light a civil war, aimed
against him. The lowly callings he had
first pursued - became his titles to greater
respect among those whose respect was
worth having 5 the little external resticittcs
only showed more briuhtly, as tho rough
matrix the golden ore, the true dignity of
111s nuture. JSever was any one, set in sucn
high place, and surrounded with so many
motives of furious destraetion, so little im
peached of aught blameworthy. The bit

his charge than that hU languago was some
times too homely for a supersensitive taste.

Kut against these Bpecks, what thorough

from crowth than alteration, he'proved him
sell in the crisis the very tnan best suited

tance to iunovate did not prevent him from
recof'tiiiiiL' and acccniini the changes in
the situation which the progress of events
broueht to pass: and the firmness with
which he refused to proceed faster than they

which he refused to retire from the position

no doubt that in his known respect for es
tablished rights, as well as in his known
justico, impartiality and benevolence, South
as well as North, had begun to look upon
him all their stirett friend ftnd as the sufo
arbiter in whom they could both truat to
exaet no moro and to claim no less than
might sufllco to uiako their reconciliation
perpetual.
But ho has fallen, and by a Southern hand.
We cannot as yet tcl". tho motive that urged
tho treacherous blow, but the l'uct that two
had conspired to murder, the ono tho Presi
dent, the other the Secretary of State, shows
that at least there is rot insanity to lo reck
oned as a possible explanation. But wo
will not, without overwhelming proof, let
tiro horrible conspiracy, or the phrf.s'es of it
actors, lend us to lay it to the charge of
abettors in the South." We will not doubt
that from what latelv was tho Southern
Government and people there will come at
once earned disavowals of any knowledge
of tho meditated crime, and that!? the mur
derer of Mr. Seward has reached tho territo
ry their power yet holds, ho will bo seized
and surrendered as one guilty of a enmo
against humanity itself. On no other terms
at least will their English sympathizers be
lieve in Souttern ,4cliivalry." For though
some among us have by growth of preju
dice como to think Slavery not siu, there- is
no Englishman yet whom secret asr.ftsiina
tion does not bonify. And the kindly na-
! ture, tho earnest desiro to do risiht, which
even his opponents confessed in Abraha

him all sympathies and make all atnon

From (be London Times, April 27.
IOsoon. Tho intelligence of the assas
sination of President Lincoln and the at
tempt to assassinate Mr. Seward caused a
most extraordinary sensation in the city
.y.'steruay. i owartl noon the news lircani
nown, and it spread rapidly from mouth
10 nievtm in ail directions. At lust many
were incredulous as to the truth of the ru
mor, nnd some believed it to have been set
afloat for purposes in connection with the
Stock Exchange. Tho house of'Peabody it
Co., American bankers ir. Broad-st, had re
ceived early intelligence of tho assassina
tion, and from there the news was carried
to the bank of England, whence it quickly
stinted in a thousand directions. Mean
while it was being wafted far and wide by
the econd editions of the morning papers
r.ni was supplemented lated in tho day by
the publication of additional particulars.
Shortly after 5 o'clock it was communica
ted to the Lord Mayor while he was sitting
w the Justice room of the Mansion House,
and about the same time "the Star Spangied
Itsnner" was ho?.ed half-must hijih over
ho Amciicau Consular.: at itio naui-i of
Oroce-chufch-st. The sutne fins had but
few dnvs before floated in triumph from
the same place on the entry ol the Federals
uto Kichmond, aud still later on the sur-
sendtr of den. Lee. Petween 1 and 2 o'clock
ho third edition of The l'imr. containinc
circumstantial narrative of the nlfuir, made
ts appearance in the cilv, and became im
mediately in extraordinary demund. A
newsvender in the itoyal fcxeliaugu vri's
selling it at hall' a crown a copy, and bv
alt' past three o'clock it could not be had
for money. The excitement caused by the
intelligence wns manifest in the public
btrects, si J tho event was thcthemc ol'con-
ersation everywhere. I'ne revival of the
nfl'uir of tho Ho ad Ilillmurder, which iu tho
truer part ot the day. had created a pro-
bund sensation, sank into insignificance iu
comparison with the interest and a.stnuibh-
ment excited by the news ot the tragedy at
Y asbni''lon. A photographer in Lornhill,
taking time by tho forelock," exhibited
the late Mr. Lincoln," und accompanied
y an account of the assassination cut from
the eccond edition of the cotemporary.
Throughout the remainder of the day the
evening papers were sold in unexampled
numbers, and often at the double and treble
the ordinary prico, all evincing tho univer
sal interest felt in the astotiudiug intelli
gence.
LlVEitrooi., April 20. The reading ot the
telegram announcing the assassination of
'resident Lincoln produced a general ex
pression of horror aud disgust on the Liver-
poo. Exchange lo-Uay. At tnist it was ul-
cired that the assassin was a L'outederate,
but the Southern men indiguuutly repudia

Manchester, April 20. Such a state ot

resident Liucoln s assassination this morn
ing was never witnessed hero before. The
uews put a stop to all business, und the day
liaB poised away in more talk und excite
ment. liiitMiNtiliAM, Wednesday evening. The
news of the assussiuation of tho President ot
the United States has produced a profound
seusation here, and as uiu.li of sympathy,
consternation and dismay as can be con
ceived; lu fact, as to all o( these feeliugs,
second ouly to one other calamity which
might have alllicled tins nation ami mo

first telegram was received hero announcing
this sail occurrence. Liue ull other oau
news this spread rapidly, and in less than
halt an hour the Lxeliauye, where tne tele
grams were posted, was thronged with per
soui in whose faces were Ueputehed an ex
pression of the deepest anxiety.
IS earl v three hours passed away wunoui
the receipt of any confirmation of the first
telegram, aui hope was reviving when the
lull details ot the appalling tragic occutren
ces just perpetrated at Washington came to
hand. Ihere was no luce in winch grit t
was uot tlepickcd, no sentiment uttered but
that of abhorrence at these foul crimes. Of
the truth of that the American people may
rest augured, so lar as this town is concern'
ed, for although there has always been a
strongteeling ot sympathy here tor the
Southerners, and never more so than during
the last hours of the eiiautio efforts .f the
noblo hearted Lee and his valiant soldiers,
there is nothing but detestation at the foal
murder which this fratricidal war has been
crowned.

At Nashville, seven years ago, fnecdotea
of tho coolness nnd courage of Governor
Johnson were uniting the current coin of
conversation. Apolitical opponent of tho
Governor, att cyc-witness of tho occurrence,
(old us that n placard was posted in the
town, one mnrninir, announcing, in tho well
known languago of old Tennessee, that Andy
Johnson was to bo shot "on sight." Friends
cf the Governor assembled at his house to
escort him lo the Ftnto House. ' "No," said
he, "gentlemen, if I am to be shot at, I want
no man to be in the way of tho bullet."
Amnhvr similar story is related. He was
announced to speak on one of the exciting
questions of tlw day, and loud threnO were
uttered that, if ho dared to appear, he
should not leave tho hall altvcf" A t the ap
pointed hour, ho nscended to the platform,
and advancing to the desk, laid his pistol
upon it. He then nddrcssed the audience,
in terms as near the following as our infor
mant could recollect :
Fellow citizen?, it is proper when free
men assemble for the discussion of impor
tant public interests, that everything should
bo dona decently and tix order." I have been
informed thatart of tho business to bn
transacted on the occasion is the assassina
tion of the indi"idual who now has tho
honor of addressing you. I beg respectfully
to propose that this be tho first business in
order. Therefore, if any man has come
here to-night for the purpose indicated, 1
do uot say to him, let hint rpcuk, but let
him shoot.
Here he paused, with his right hand on
his p'.tol, and the other holding open h's
coat, while with his eyes he blandly sur
veyed the assembly. After a pause of half
a minute, he resumed :
Gentlemen, it appears that I have been
misinformed. I will now proceed to address
you on the subject that has called us to
gether. Which he did, with nil his accustomed
boldness and vivacity, not sparing his ad
versaries, but giving them plenty of pure

The 1")eatu of Anpiikw Jackson, Ju.
The Nashville papers conlirm the report of
the death of Andrew Jackson, Jr., the adopt
ed son of the old hero whose remains now
sleep at the Hermitage, near that city. It
appears that he was out hunting, and while
in the act of climing a fence, with gun iu
hand, the piece was accidentally discharged
and its contents passed through his baud,
causing a very severe wound. Two days
afterwards lockjaw ensued, nnd bo died
from its ellects at the Hermitage, where he
was residing, aud which he iuhcritcd from
the distinguished man whose name he bore.
Deceased was fifty-seven years of age, and
has resided all his life at the ITcrmituKC, de-
oting himself to the cultivation of the farm.
le was the nephew ot General Jackson a
wife, his father, Samuel Donclson, being one
f Mrs. Jackson s six brothers. He lnherit-
d from the General the Herniitutro, consist
ing of live hit tidied acres of good land, and
a cotton plantation in Mississippi, lie lost
his property in speculations, nnd tho Her
mitage is now the property of tho State of
Tennessee. The Nashville Dispatch says:
The father of Andrew Jackson, Jr., re
sided near the Hermitage, and it is said that
General Jackson, after prevailing upon tho
mother to adopt him, carried tlie imno
home, in company with his wife, in a pocket
haud kerchief, rejoicing iu the fuHne:-s of his
icQi't. and throughout lu.-i whole lite he was
affectionately devoted to his adopted sou."

"For the stars on our banner grown sudden

Let us weep In our sorrow, but weep not for
him;
Not for him who departing leaves millions
in tears;
Not for him who has died full of honors
and years;
Not for him who ascended Fame's ladder so

From tho rtund at the ton lis has- stepped

The crops nf beat, parsnip and carrot, foi
winter me, should be planted as soou as pos
sible. It is especially incumbent, to put
them in rich soit, becatfe only a large crop
will pay well the cost of cultivation. Some
fine manure, such as rcoinmcnded for tho
corn-hill, should bo thrown in ti e drill

As scon as corn planting is eve?, press for

before the pressing work of a new crop

work.
If tlio bet's promise an eHrly supply uf

rence, nnd as the power of the suu increases,
tho difficulty increases to get a stand. If
plants are abundant, ynu may put iu, even
small ones, in May, inorder to forward tho
work. If they nre searce, however, it is safer
to take the r'fk of tli-! season, and plant onlj
as you can command well grown plants with

r.ot so important at v-hat time they er
plr.nted; but for the general crop it is c-ssen
tial, we think, that they bo planted so lat
that the formation if the tuber, iudieatei
by the bloom, be throwu beyond the tim
when wo usually experience our scveres
drought from niii'.dle of July to middle i.
August. To do this, they should not b
