In anticipation of this, event, by working day and night, I had all the obstructions on the James taken up and all the tor pedoes removed from the river bed. When.the river was reported clear of torpedoes (a large number of which were taken up), I proceeded up to Richmond in the Malvern, with President Lincoln on Board, and notwithstanding the great care that had been taken to clear out the James, I felt a great responsibility upon me. Every vessel that got through the obstructions washed to be the first one up, and pushed ahead with all steam, but they grounded one after another, and then my vessel, which had pessed them all, also grounded. I took the President in my barge. and with a tug ahead aod a file of marines on board, we continued on up to the city. 1 had never been to Kichmond be fore by that route and did not know where the landing was : neither did the coxswain nor any of the barge's crew. We pulled on, hoping to a-ee some one of wbgm we could inquire, but no one was in sight. Ice street along the river front was as deserted as if this had been a city of the dead. The troops had been in possession for some hours, but not a soldier was to be seen. The current was now rushing past us over rocks, we conld scarcely get ahead, and finally ran on a rock. "Send for Colonel Kaily" said the President, "he will tret you out of this." "No" said I, "We don't want the Colonel this time. I can manage it" So I backed out and" pointed for the nearest landing. There was a small house on this landinz. and behind it were some twelve negroes digging with spades. The leader of tbem was an old man 60 Years of see. He raised himself to an upright position as we landed, and put his hands up to his eyes. Then he dropped his spade and sprang forward. LI5COLN AND A SLAVE. "bress de Lord," he said "dere is de great Messiah! I know'd him as soon as I seed bim. He's bin in my heart fo' long yeahs, an' he's cum at las' to free his cbillun from deir bondage! Glory hallelujah!" And he fell upon his knees before the President and kissed his feet The others followed his example, and, in a minute.Mr. Lincoln was surround ed by these people, who had treas ured up the recollection of him caught from a photograph, and bad looked up to him for four years as the ooe who was to lead them out of captivity; It was a touching sight that aged negro kneeling at the feet of the tall, gaunt-looking man, who seemed, to himself, to be bearing all the grief of the nation, and whos sad face seem ed to say, ! suffer for you all, but will do all I can to help you." Mr. Lincoln looked down on the poor creatures at his feet ; he was 3 uch embarrassed at his position, "Doni kneel to me," he said. That is not right You must kneel to God only, and thank Him for the liberty you will hereafter enjoy. I am but God's humble instrument ; but you may rest assured that as long as I live no one shall put a shackle on your limbs, and you stall have all the rights which God has eiven to everr other free citizen of this Republic." His face was lit up with a divine look as he uttered these words. Though not a handsome man, and ungainly in his person, yet in his enthusiasm he seemed the personi fication of manly beauty and that sad face of his looked down in kind ness upon these ignorant blacks with a grace that could not be excelled. He really teemed of another world. All this scene was of brief dura tion, but, though simple and bum ble affair, it impressed me more than anything of the kind I ever witness ed. It was a minute or two before I could get the negroes to 'rise And leave the President The scene was to touching I hated to disturb it, yet we could not rtay there all day : we had to move on, and I requested the patnaxen to witnaraw rrom about the President with his com panions And let us pass on. "Yes, Massa," said the old man, "but Alter bein' so many years in de desert widout water, it's mighty pleasant to be lookin' At las' on oar He shall assaaltins; foes repel, And with saooess oar battle fight ; Shall fix the place where we most dwell. The pride of Jacob, His delight. The President and all of us listen ed in silence while the hymn was being sung. A SCE5E VS THE STREETS. Four minutes, at most had passed away since we first landed at a point where, as far as the eye could reach, the streets were entirely deserted but now, what a different scene ap peared as that hymn went forth from the negroes lips- The streets 6eem eo to be suddenly alive with the col ored race; they seemed to spring from the earth. They came tum bling and shouting from over - the hills and from the water side, where no one was seen as we had passed along. The crowd immediatelv became very oppressive. We needed our marines to keep tham off. I order ed twelve of the boats crew to fix bayonets on their rifles, and to sur round tne rreaia-mt, which was done in a moment ; but the crowd poured in so fearfully that I thought we all stood a chance of being crush ed to death. I now realized the imprudence of landing without a large body of ma rines; and yet this seemed to me, after all, the fittest wav for Mr. Lin coln to come among the, people he hal redeemed from bondage. What an ovation he had, to be sure, Irom those so-called ignorant beings ! They all had their souls in their eyes, and I don't think I ever looked upon a scene where there were so many passionately happy While some were rushing forward to try and touch the man they had talked of and dreamed of for four lone years, others stood off a little way, and looked on in awe and won der. Others turned somersaults.and many veiled lor joy. Half of them acted as though demented,and could hod no way of testifying their de light 1 he negroes, in their ecstacy .could not be made to understand that thev were detaining the President: thev looked upon him as belonging to tbem, and that he had come to put the crownine act to the great work he had commenced. They would not feel that thev were free in reality until they heard it from his own lips At length he spoke ; be could not move lor the mass of people he had to do something-. "My poor friends," be said, "you are free free as air. You can cast off the name of slave and tramp upon it: it will come to you no more. Liberty is your birthright God gave it to you as he gave it to others, and it is a sin that you have been deprived of it for so many years. But you must try to deserve this priceless boon. Let the world see that you merit it and are able to maintain it by your good works. Don't let your joy car ry you into excesses: learn the laws and obey them ; harbor no ill-feeling against those who held you in bondage; obey God's command ments and thank Him for giving you liberty, for to Him you owe all things. There, now, let me pass on; I have but little time to spare. I want to see the Capitol, and must return at once to Washington to secure to you that liberty which you seem to prize so highly." The crowd shouted and screeched as if they would split the firmament though while the President was speaking the silent) was breathless. I don't think anv one could do justice to that scene ; it would be were lined on both sides with black ing from the water. In a short and whites alike, all looking with 'time we reached the mansion of Mr. A BOY'S FfXNY EXPEatlEXCE. necessary to photograph it to under stand it a . . t a At lengtn we were able to move on; the crowd opened for us, shout ing. 1 got the twelve seamen, with fixed but onets,around the President to keep him from being crushed. It never struck me that there was any one id that multitude who would injure him; it seemed to me that he had an army of supporters there who could, and would, defend him against all the world. but likely there was scowling eyes.not far off ; men where,perhapg, looking on with hatred in their hearts, who were even then seekinz an opportunity to slay him. PASSING LIBBY PRISON. Our progress was verv slow, and we did not move a mile an hournd the crowd was still increasing;. Many poor whites joined the num bers, and sent up their shouts with the rest We were nearly half an i hour getting from abreast of Libby Prison to the edge of the city. The President stopped a moment to look on tne norriDie Castile, where so many Union seldiers had dragged out a dreadtul life. "We will pull it down!" cried the crowd, seeing where his look felL "No," he said, "leAve it as a mon ument," He did not say a monument to what, but he meant, I am sure, to leave it as a monument to the loyal ty of our soldiers who would bear all the horrors of Libby sooner than desert their flag and cause. We struggled on, the great crowd preceding us, and an equally dense crowd of blacks following on behind allso packed together that some of them often sang oat in pain. It was not a model style for the Presi dent of the United States to enter the capitol of a conquered country, yet there was a moral in it all which had fnoreefiect than if be had come surrounded with great armies and heralded bv the booming of cannon- He came armed with the majesty of the law to oat his seal to the set which had been established bv the bayonets of Union soldier the es tablishment of peace And good will between the Aortn And South, And liberty to All soAnkind who dwell upon oar shores. . We struggled on, and as we reach ed the edge of the city, the side walks curious and eager faces at the man who held their destiny in his hand, but there was no anger in any one,s face ; the whole was like a gala day, and it looked as if the President was some expected guest who had come to receive great honors; indeed, no man ever received a greater ovation than was given hicn, be it from warm hearts or simple ceremony. A HOT AND THIRSTY HERO. It was a warm day, and the streets were dusty, owing to the im mense gathering which covered every part of them kicking up the dirt The atmosphere was suffocating,and Mr. Lincoln could be seen plainly by every man, woman and child, towering head and shoulders above that crowd. He overtopped every man there. He carried his hat in, his hand, fanning his face, from which the perspiration was pour ing. He looked as it he would have given Lis presidency for a glass of water I would have given my teeth for half a one. Now came another phase in the procession. As we entered the citv. every window flew ud from below to the roof, and every one was filled with eager, peering faces, which turned one to another and seemed to ask, "Is this large man with soft eves and kind, benevolent face, the one who has been held up to us as the incarnation of wickedness the destroyer of the South?" I think that illusion vanished, if it was ever harbored by any one there. I don.t know what there was to amuse them in looking at this scene, but I never saw a merrier crowd in my life,black and white. We where brought to a halt by the dense jam before we had gone a square ; the town was still on hre at the Tredegar Works and in the structures thereabouts,and thesmoke setting our way almost choked us. I had not seen a soldier whom I j couid send to General Weitzer to ask for an escort, and it would have been useless ta send one of the con trabands, for be would have been too much interested in seeing the sights and in looking at the President, from whom none took their eyes. I don t think anyone noticed the rest of the party. I think the people could not have had a gala day since the Confeder ates occupied Richmond as head quarters. Judging from present ap pearances, thev certainly were not given at the loss of the government which had just fled. There was nothing like taunt or defiance in the fuces of those who were gazing from j the windows, or craning their necks from the walks, to catch a view of the President The look of everyone was that of eiger curiosity nothing more. A PRESENT. While we were stopped for a mo ment by the crowd, a white man, in his shirtsleeves, rushed from the sidewalk towards the President. His looks were so eager that I felt ap prehensive that he wasvnot a friend, and prepared to receive him on the point of my sword, but when he got within ten feet of us he suddenly stopped short, took of his hat, and cried oat : "Abraham Lincoln, God bless you ; you are the poor man's friend !" Then he tried to force his way to the President to shake hands with him. He would not take no for an answer, until I had to treat him rather roughly, when he stood off with his arms folded and looked eagerly after us. The last I saw of him ho was throwing bis hat into the air. Just after. this a beautiful girl came from the sidewalk with a large bouquet of roses in her hand, and advanced, struggling through the President The mass of people open ed to let her paed, but she had a hard time in reaching him. Her clothes were very much disar ranged in making the journey across the street. Davis, president of the Confederacy, the house now occupied as the headquarters of General Weiteel and General Shipley. It was quite a small affair com pared with the White House, and modest in all its appointments, showing that, while President Da vis was engaged heart and soul in endeavoring to effect a division of the States, he was not at least, sur rounding himself with kingly volupt ousness, but was living in a modest, comfortable style, like any other citizen. Amid it all, the refined taste of his wife was prominent, and marked everything about the apart ments. There was great cheeringgoing on: hundreds of civilians (I don't know who they were) assembled at the house to welcome Mr. Lincoln. General Shipley made a speech anJ gave us a lunch, after which we entered a carriage and visited the State House the late seat ot the Confederate Congress. It was in dreadful disorder, betokening a sud- v 1 . a. as aen iiiznt; members taoies were WHAT HE FOCND OCT AND HOW IT AF FECTED HIM HQ GOOD RESOLUTION. IH have a lot to write now.

The styles of buildings, of no par ticular architecture, constructed with a Yiew more to comfort than to appearance, the contrasts every where presented, even in the heart of the city, where one sees splendid structure side by side with magnifi cent cottages, the streets lined with ditches called gutters, in which the water stagnates, the great abund ance of gardens filled with tropic trees and fruits, the predominance of white and greeu oa the houses, the cosmopolitan aspect of the peo ple in the streets, where every na tion seems to have its representa tive, all strike the visitor as novel, as having more of the novel than even the talent of a Cable can compass. The contrast presented by the two portions of the city, the old Creole town and the newer American por tion, is particularly noticeable. Cross Canal street and you plunge at once into the old French city, with its narrow streets, its quaint houses, many over a hundred years old. its cathedral and French market, where the very names of the streets are eloquent ef the past Go the other way, and you find yourself ia a quarter where every thing h new, frfsn and modern, and where the bustle and activity ii ni . . ..... nnthin. nr.d I lived in Hirknrv and rangeiy in contrast w.i tne quie- all.

After this inspection I urged the President to go 00 board the 5Ial ern. I began to feel the responsi bility resting upon me through the care of this person. The evening was approaching, and we were in a carriage open all around. He was glad to go; he was tired out and wanted the quiet of the flagship. We took leave of our host and de parted. 1 was oppressed with un easiness until we got on board, and stood on deck with the President safe; then there was not a happier man anywhere than nyself.

There was a grett long iropean ancestors 1 . -I - sing me uenniuon, woicn is in every w incorrect, 1 apprehend that the word "Creole"' has a more restricted and special application. It has been erroneously thought by some that to constitute a Creole one snould have atineof nesrro biood j in one's veics, while others have considered the descendants of Span j isb, German and other foreigners a. , Creoles.

Indolent by nature, the Creole likes to take lite easy: The warm climate, languor ous and depressing, the luxurious manner in which he has been rear- spatches to any one but the Presi dent himself. "Let him come on board,"' said the President. "Don't you think we should be careful whom we admit after dark, sir?"' I said. "Well, yes,1' he replied; "but these despatches may be from General Grant, and the man may be only obeying his orders." I ordered the boat to go back and bring the man on board, determined to stand near the President when the despatches were delivered. I knew that General Grant would send despatches only by an officer, and the midshipman in the boat told me this was not one. When the boat returned to the shore the man was not there. As I suspected, the man was a bogus despatch-bearer. The circumstan ces were very suspicious. I inquired about the appearance of the man when seen by the officer of the boat "He was a tall man with a black moustache, wore a slouch hat and a Iodz cloak, a regular the atrical villain." That man was, without doubt, Wilkes Booth, who sought the Pres ident's life.

She was very pretty, and obout 17 years old, which made the presentation still more touching. There was a label on the bouquet with these simple words : "From Eva to the Liberator of the Slaves." She stayed no longer than to deliv er her present ; than two of the sailors were sent to escort her back to the walk. There was no cheering at this, yet there was no disapprobation shown only she was met by the same eager curious faces which surrounded and plied her with questions. This was the only event of the kind that occurred. I asked myself what all this could mean but that the people of Rich mond were glad to see the end of the strife, aod to see the advent of a milder form of government than that which had just departed in such an ignoble manner. At length I got hold of a cavalry man. He was resting his horse near the sidewalk, blocked in by the peo ple, and looking on with the same expression of interest as the others. He was the only soldier I had seen since we landed, showing that the General commandingthe Union force had no desire to interfere, in any case, with the comfort of the citizens. There was only guard enough post ed about the streets to protect prop erty and to prevent irregularities. -"Go to the General," I said to the cavalryman, "and tell him to send a military escort here to guard the President and get him through this crowd." "Is that old Abe?" asked the soldier, his eyes as large as sau cers. The sight of the President was as strange to him as to the in habitants, but off he went as fast as the crowd would allow him, And in twenty minutes I heard the clatter over the stones of horses' feet as a troop f cavalry came galloping and clearing the 8 tree, which they did with 88 much gentleness as if they were at a paradsv PRESIDENT DAVIS HEADQUARTERS. For the first time we were able to walk along continuously since start- added greatly (m his ideas; to the scenic effect In half an hour another hail came, (we v.ere only lying twenty yards off.) A person wanted a boat ; a sailor from the Saugus wanted to re port himself on board. There was no such veesel in the fleet, though there was one in the navy. 1 sent an officer and four men in the boat to bring the man off, and not to let him escape, and, when in the boat to put hand-irons on him. Then I swept the shore with a night glass and could see no one. The boat landed a minute later. There was no man there. The crew ran up and down the river and looked over the bank, but no one could be found. Thete two circumstances made me more suspicious, and every care was taken that no one should get on board without knowing who he was. The President himself felt a little unpleasant and nervous, and that night a marine kept guard at his ! stateroom door. David D. Porter Profl'a on Whisky. "I suppose few drinkers of whis- kev." said a wholesale dealer in the fluid, "realize bow little of original value they get for their money. The cost to the distiller of making the best possible whiskey is only about 40 cents a gallon. Now, a gill is a fair quantity for a drink, the charge for which at the most stylish bars is 20 cent. That i to say, a thing costing the producer a sixth of a cent in Kentucky, is retailed at near ly forty times as much. Of course, the government tax takes some of the enormous profit, and the wastes of storage another portion. The gains of the handlers remain as tounding. I know of no more solid temperance argument than the ridic ulously high prices- charged lor liq or by the glass."
