The European Press the Assassination.
We give, herewith, brief extracts from Brit
ish papers touching the murder of Abekas am
Lincoln. Never before was thf untimely fata
of a ruler eo widely mourned. The worldis
already prepared to do justioe to-bis goodness.
We say “ the world," but- me. .n, the candid
world. Snch words of high praise were never
before spoken of arf American Citizen as will be
fonnd in.the following.utteranoos from over the
sea. The editors of Co£perbead sheets ought to
read these tributes to ifce greatness of a man
who will be remembered when they are forgot
ten, and hereafter have wisdom enough to hold
their peace: •
from the London Neve.
In all time to come, not among Americans
only, but among all who think of manhood as
more than rank, and set worth above display,
the name of Abkahah Lincoln will be held in
reverence. Rising from among tbe poorest of
the people, winning his slow way upward by
sheer hard work, preserving in every successive
stage a ebaraote rnnspotted _and*a name untaint
ed, securing a wider respect as be became'better
Known, never pretending to more than be was,
nor being less than he professed' himself, he
was at length, for very singlepess of heart and
uprightness of. conduct, because all felt that
they could trust him utterly, and would desire
to be guided by bis firmness, courage and sense,
placed in the chair of President at the turning
point'hf his nation’s history. A life so true,
rewarded by a dignity so majestic, was defence
enough against the petty abates of malice which
party spirit, violent enough to light n civil war,
aimed against him. Tfcle lowly callings he
bad first pursued became his titles to greater
respect among those whose respect was worth
having; the little external rusticities" only
showed more brightly, as the rough matrix the
golden .ore, the true dignity of his nature. —
Never was any one, set in such'high place, and
surrounded with so many 'motives of furious
detraction, so liule impeacheft of aught blame
worthy. The bitterest -eiiea y could find Ino
more to lay to his charge than that his language
wa£ sometimes too homely fo- a stipersensitive
taste, or that he conveyed in a jesting phrjase
what they deemed mores suit-id fora statelier
style. But against these -specks, what thor
ough nobility have we noVtoset ?■ A purity of
thought, word and deed never - challenged, a
disinterestedness never -suspected, an honesty
of purpose never impugned, a gentleness and
tenderness that never mtvdij g private enemy or
alienated a friend—iheae tire indeed qualities
which may well make a. Ration mourn. But
ho had intellect as well Cau
tiously conservative, fearing to pass the limits
of established eyf-temsvseeking ttje needful
amendments rather from growth than altera
tion, he probed himself in the crisis the very
man best suited for his post.
Prom fke London Star,
For Abraham Lincoln one cry of universal
regret will be raised all uver.the civilized earth.
We do not believe that- even- the fiercest par
tisans of the Confederacy Mi. this country will
entertain any sentiment at eoch a time but one
of grief and horror. To t S Abraham Lincoln
hag always seemed tkefnei Ipharacter produced
iy the American war on eii \er side of the sthig
gle. He was great, not merely by the force of
genius—and only the wqrd.genius will describe
the power of intellect by'' hiph he guided him
self and his coontry through su cb a crisis—but
by the simple, natural sfyengthand grandeur
of his character. Talleyrand once said of n
great Amerioon statesman that without exper
ienoe’be “ divined” his Way through any ori
sis. Mr. Lincoln jtbu'jdtwned hi? way through
the perilous, exhausting and unprecedented
difficulties which might .well have broken
strength and blfndedlhe prescience of the best
trained professional statesmen. He seemed to
‘arrive by instinct—by' the instincfeof a noble,
unselfish, and manly nature—at the very ends
which'the highest of .political genius, the long
est of political experience, could have done no
more than reach. Be here himself fearlessly
in danger, calmly in'difficulty, modestly in suc
cess. The world Whs af last beginning to
know bow good, and, in tbg best sense, bow
great a tpan he was. It bad long, indeed,
learned that he was;Bf devoid of vanity as of
it had only just come to know what
magnanimity and mercy the hour of triumph
would prove that be poesessed. Reluctant en
emies were just beginning to break into eulogy
over bis wise and noble Clemency when the das-,
tard hand of a vile.murderer destroyed bis no
We and . valuable life*. We in England have 1
•omethiugto feel ashamed of when we meditate
upon the greatness of the man so ruthlessly
slain. Too many Englishmen lent* themselves
to the.vulgar and ignoble.cry which was raised
against him. - English writers degraded them
selves to the level of the coarsest caricaturists
when they had to tell "of Abraham Lincoln. —
They stooped to criticise a patriot as
a.meoiat might cojuimentoa* the bearing of a
hero. They sneered at his manner, as if Crom-
WELL was a Chesterfield; they accused him of
ugliness, as if Mirabeau was a beauty ; they
made coarse pleasantry of bis figure,, as if Peel
was a posture master; .they were facetious
about bis dress, and if Catoue was a D’Orsay ;
they were indignant about his jokes, as if
Palmerston never jested. t We do not remem-'
her any instance-since- thd wildestjdays ofj
British fury against the Corsican Ogre,” in 1
which a foreign, statesman was ever so dealt
with in English writing as Mr. Lincoln, —
And when we make the. comparison we cannot,
but remember tbst.wjile Napoleon was our
unscrupulous enemy "TilNcoLN was quf steady
friend. Assailed by -the coarsest attacks on
this side the ocean; trie! by the sorest tempta
tions on tjhat, Abraha :i . Lincoln calgily and
steadfastly maintained .a policy of.peace with
England, and necef did a deed, never wrote or
tpoke a word which logs unjust or unfriendly to
the British nation' Had such a man died by'
the band of in the’hour of his triumph,
the world mast br-ve Cooarned for his loss.

Til* assassin exasperates and embitters the
grief beyond an<f power of language to ex

THE AGITATOR.
M. H. COBB, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
WEDNESDAY,
Opinions vary widely. Even the opinions
of one man, touching the same object or sub
ject, and' separated only by a week of time in
utterance, widely disagree.
Whetherdenth works any appreciable change
in the mental and moral condition of its sub
ject is .still matter for speculation. Bnt of this
we may be sure—that death works grea.t chan
ges in the utterances of the survivors, of the
dead. Nothing so clearly illustrates this foot
as the-utterances of the semi-rebel press, prior
to, and following the murder of Abraham Lin
coln. ' "
And here lot ns record the most eloquent
tribute ever paid to , the private and public
worth of an American citizen by native or
stranger. Of Lincoln the Lyndon Telegraph
says: ''' 1
"From vulgar corruption,from factions hatred,
from meanest jealous; and nnoharitableness, this
great ruler was wholly free. At last came what
seemed to be the fruition of his labor—the reward of
his patience and courage., He entered Richmond as
a oonqnerorj bnt he launched no decree of proscrip
tion against the South; for the fight appeared to him
to be over, and It was not in his large heart to boar
malice against a beaten fee." ‘
A greater breadth of soul was qpyer mani
fested, in so few words. What better epitaph
can we desire-to be carved in the monumental
marble in whose shadow all that is mortal of
this martyr of Liberty is laid ? The grander,
because history will" confirm this estimate of
THE MAN.
In marked contrast with this we pot the lan
guage of a Copperhead paper published in
Schuylkill county, in our own State, on the
day preceding the night of the mnrder. We
feel that there is need of apology to a oivlliied
community before presenting this vile drip of
a debased soul. On that day the editor wrote:
" When the bloody hours of .Lincoln's life are over,
we think we see a funeral procession, at the head of
which marches a man bearing a negro’s skull, and
the impaled body of a white man, exclaiming: ‘be
hold the emblem of all he accomplished by the slaugh
ter of two millions of people, and the crushing of
unborn generations beneath the mountain of his
debts.' The fitting ceremony at the funeral of
sneb wretches is hot Christian, but heathenish, and
should be dbnducted by a Sylla, who stirs her blood
and makes np a centaur’s banquet.”
The funeral procession to which the brute
who penned th* above made allusion, stretched
over half a continent, and numbered in its sad
train every noble-sonled man and woman of a
population of twenty millions. When Lincoln
-fell, the grief -of ’ millions coined itself into
a great, choking sob, which made itself heard
across the seas and shook the hearts of the
masses in the remotest lands of Christendom.
Even the seared and bleared heart of the brute
whose words we have - quoted, could not resist
the contagion of that mighty grief; for in the
nest issue of his paper we find him eating his
brutal words in the following hamble-pie par
agraph :
“"Then men truly felt as if the first-born of all tbo
households of the land had died; felt as men feel
when they have lost their best earthly friend; felt as
if the old Ship of State, more than ever, was at the
mercy of the .waves without a pilot to conduct her
to a haven of srfety. President Lincoln died, just
when the nation most needs the parental guidance of
a moderate, unassuming, unambitious man."
President Lincoln died, ot| ydh barnacled
hypocrite, on the night of the day on which
you declared that be ought not to receive Chris
tian burial I We entirely agree with a con
temporary that-such hypocrisy is disgusting;
it is always disgusting, but more especially
’when practiced to cover op such a depth of de
pravity as this fellow exhibited.
It is a notable'fact that these public teachers
of assassination now pretend tfaat the policy of
tbe President durinjg the last three months of
his life met with their approval. The policy of
the President, from the 14th of April 1861, to
the 14th of April 1865, as regards tbe sup
pression of the rebellion, was never changed
in any essential particular. He determined to
put it down by the strong arm of force. He
ever inclined to mercy ; for, being truly brave,
there "was not a spark of cruelty in his soul.
No man who knew him believed that be cher
ished a revengeful purpose toward any mortal. 1
Revenge is an attribute of essentially mean,
cowardly souls. His soul was an infinite re
move from that. But so far from approving
bis policy, these miscreants heaped tbe filth of
the dictionary of slang upon him np to the day
of his murder. No man, since Washington,
had been so outrageously defamed and belied.
Yet now that bis murder has been procured ts'
he done through pasuous inflamed by their in
temperate hate of good, they make baste to
pronounce him a man of lofty virtue, unassum
ing, unambitious, incorruptible.
We truly believe that the child is living who
will live to hear the irreversible verdict of the
civilized world pronounced, to the effect that
this great, tragedy was tbe inevitable result of
the Copperhead teachings. What can be more
direct to that end than this, from a Center
county paper:
“ On the legal principles of self.defenoe, has not
any men about being driven to the slaughter-pen by
Lincoln's conscription, a right to take the life of the
old tyrant to save his own f"
Tbe fellows who indulged in that sort of talk
assume to control the masses of what was onca
known as the Democracy. Wo have the best
of evidence that the masses who voted for Mc-
Clellan last fall do not sympathise with treason
and assassination. 1 Let them repudiate these
miscreant leaders, then, and leave them to the
ample measure of public contempt which they
merit, and will certainly receive. .
We have preserved some ugly records made
by big and little leaders during the war; and
they shill be brought to the light,'and revived,
until their authors-shall be estimated at their
true worth/ 1

by which the 4th Mich, and Ist Wisconsin came
in conflict, we should have done better. This
mistake' cost us two killed and Lt. Brontle
wounded through the arm in the 4th Michigan,
and four men wounded in the Ist Wisconsin.—*
This oeonrerd just daylight, after we bad cap

Wisconsin they were mistaken for tbe-enemy.
I returned to this point last night and shall
move right on to Macon without waiting orders
from yon as directed. I have the honor to report
that the whole object of the expedition is accom

struck the trail of Davis at Dahlia on the
evening of the 7th and followed .him closely
night and day through the Wilderness, via.
Onmberlandviile to Erwinsville. At Cum
berlandville Col. Hardee met Col. Pritchard
with 150 picked men and horses of the 4th
Michigan Calvalry. Hardee followed the trail
directly south, while Pritchard, having fresher
horses poshed down the Oomnlgee and tbdSoe
by House creek to Erwinville, arrived there
at midnight of the 12th. Jeff. Davis had not
arrived.
Col. Pritchard and hie party were encamped
two miles outside of the town. He made dis
position of his men and surrounded the camp
before day.
Hardee had camped at 9 p. m. within two
miles, as he afterwards learned from Davis.—
The trail being, too indistinct to follow, he
be pushed on at 3 a. m. end had gone, bnt a
little more than one mile when his advance was
'fired upon by seme of the'4tb Michigan. A fight
ensued, both parties exhibiting' the utmost de
termination. Fifteen mlnnutes elapsed before
the mistake was discovered.

ing that Davis received.
The captors report that he had pot on one of
his wife's dresses and started for the woods, ITT

thought him a woman, but seeing bis boots
while be was runing they suspected bis sex at
oboe. The race was a short one. and the .rebel
President was soon brought to bay. He brand*

“ We deem it due to Messrs. J. C. Ayer &
Co., and the public, to make known our expe
rience with the use of their Ext. Sarsaparilla
in our family, by stating the circumstances
under which it was taken and its effects.
When our only child, how in his third year,
was about eight months old, a gore appeared
first in small pimples on his forehead over his.
nose. .These rapidly increashd and united
formed a loathsome, virulent sore, wish finally
spread over his forehead and face, not even ex
cepting his eyelids, which became’ so swollen
that his eyes were closed. We called a skilful
physician, who administered the usually pres
cribed remedies. A solution of nitrate of sil
ver was applied until tbs mass of corruption
which covered his entire face turned jet black.
The sore again and again burst through the
sororohed and artificial skin formed by this
solution. Meanwhile many remedies were em
ployed withoutany rpparent benifit. For fifteen
days and nights he was constantly held by bis
parents to keep him from tearing open with
bis bands the corrupt mass which' covered his
face.
Everything having failed, we were induced
by the high recommendations of Ayet's Sarsa
parilla for the care of Scrofulous disease, to
give it a trial. In his treatise on Scrofula,
Dr. Ayer directs a mild solution of lodide of
Potash to be used as a wash while taking the
Saraaprslla, and it was faithfully applied.
Before one bottle of Sarsaparilla had been
given the sore had lost much of its virulence
and commenced to heal. Another bottle effect
ed an entire oure, and the general prediction
that the child most die was contradicted. His
eyelashes which came out, grew again, and bis
face is left without a soar, as smooth as any
body's. It is unnesessary for me to state in
bow high esteem.we hold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
