The day after the fall of Richmond
President Lincoln expressed a desire
to visit the Confederate capital in the
flagship Malvern. 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

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-

The styles of buildings, of no par

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.

strange to me that they had not set

that might remain relating to the
events of the past four vears.
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

man anywhere than nyself.
I determined that the President
should go nowhere again, while un

him and had a guard of marines. I
thought of the risks we had run
that day, and I was satisfied before
the night was oyer that I had good
cause lor apprehension.
WILKES BOOTH APPEARS.
We were all sitting on the upper
deck about 8 o'clock in the evening
when a man came down from the
landing and hailed the Malvern (the

easy: The warm climate, languor
ous and depressing, the luxurious
manner in which he has been rear-
spatches to any one but the Presi

"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."

where, although she was almost
stifled with the dust she gracefully
presented her bouquet, and made a
neat little speech, while the Presi
dent held her band. 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-

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.

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."
