A TRAGICAL DELUSION.
The tragical delusion of the madmen
of Charleston Jour years ago, that they
could overthrow a great nation as easily
-as they could fire upon a provision ship
or upon a little isolated garrison, - is viv
idly illustrated by the two following ex
tracts. The first from - the Charleston
Mercury of the 10th of January, 1861,1
and the second frOm a letter to the Tri-,
tezirre,"Written in Charleston on the 20th,
of February, 1865
"The exbulsion of the steamer Star of
the West from Charleston harbor yester-1
day morning was the opening of the rev- 1
olution .... would_not exchange or
recall that blow for millions .... The
haughty echo of her cannon hqs ere this
reverberated from Maine to Texas, thro'
every haridet of .the North, and down
along the great waters of the South-west.
And though . greasy and treacherous
ruffians may cry on the dogs of war, and
traitorous politicians may lend their aid
in deceptions, South Carolina will stand
under her own palmetto-tree, unterrified
by the snarling growls or assaults of the
one, undeceived or unde.teri l ed by the
wily machinations of the other. And if
that red sea of blood be still lackine• to
the patchment of our liberties, and blood
they want, blood they shall have, and
blood enough to stamp it all red. For,
.by. the God of our fathers, the soil of
South Carolina shall be free!"
So wrote men who were ready and ea,
ger-to smother in blood a C.iverrime4
which they did not pretend had ever
harmed them
_and which they had abso
lutely controlled. Pour years pass. One
by one their hopes disappear. And now
amidst the desertion, according to Gov.;
Vance, of half their army, ernidst the:
imprecations and cries of the Richmond!
journals that their, leaders shall not flee:
by the mere wind cf Sherman's Thunder-:
ing march, Charleston falls without al
blow, and the crazy city that causelessly ,
defied a Government as stropg as it is
benign, is thus described
"The wharves looked as if thlry had!
been deserted for half a century—broken I
down; dilapidated, grass and moss peep-:
ing up between the pavements, where
once the busy, feet of commerce trode in-1
oessantly. The warehouses near the
river; the streets as we enter them; the
houses and the public buildings—we look
at them and hold our breal in utter
amazement. No pen,no pencil,uo tongue
can do justice to the - scene. No
nation can conceive of the utter wreck,
the universal ruin, the stupendous deco
laden. Ruin--ruin—ruin—above and
below ; on the right hand and left; ruiol
ruin, ruin, everywhere and always—
staring at us from every paneless win
dow; looking at us from every shell-torn
wall; glaring at us from every bat
tered door and pillar and verandah ;I
crouching beneath our feet on every
sidewalk. Not Pompeii,nor llerulaneurn,
nor Thebes, nor! the Nile, have ruins so
complete, so saddening, so plaintively I
eloquent, for they speak to us of age not'
ours, and lOng age dead, with whose pen-,
pie and life and ideas we have no syrn-1
pathy whatever But here, on these ;
.
shattered wrecks of bousqs—built in our'
own style, many of them doing credit to ,
the "architecture of our own epoch—we
read names familiar to us all ; telling us
- of trades and professions and commercial
institutions which every, modern city
reckons up by the hundred; yet dead,
dead, ;,dead; as silent ias _ the silent
gtave of the Pharoahs, as! deserted as the
bazars of the merchant ptinces of Old
Tyre." 1
BURKEVILLE, VA., April 17, 1865:
My DEAR SIR : When you and my
other associates of your office asked me
to let them, hear from me t the front, I
hardly expected to be able in this short
time totell you so much; ' though I had
no doubt All, or nearly-ally would occur
in'cood time.
After a 'probation of a week at .Carlisle ,
Barracks, the most unple l asant week I I
ever spent anywhere, I calle, on via. Bal
timore, Fort Monroe and City Point, tej
the left front of our lines below Peters-I
burg, and near Hatcher's Bun, and was,l
with all the other Potter Men who came i
out at the same time, asir , tted to Ahel
t 1
99th P. V., Ist Brigade, 3 livisiorOdi
Corps. This took place n the evening
of the 24. th of March. 0 the morning
of the 25th we were aro sed by sharp
t.)
firing, some half mile in ur front, and
in sight. This was the c mmencernent
of the big move which to ned the Rebel
lines a week later. 1 On the 29th March
the 2d corps broke camp and'inoved down
the left some eight miles when our real
C i
service business comma cgd, for, from
this time on until Sunday the 2d of April
we were under arms and u der fire always
nights and mostly days, iving and tak
ing hard knocks all the while. I need
tt i i
not be very minute in thls, for the press
has long ere this told.yo of everything
in general, and I have no space for many
particulars, The "little 'Jokers" were
particularly 'compliment ry, and it re
quired constant vigilane to escape them,
Saturday .evening the act on became gen
eral along the whole liney and we could
hear Sheridan thundering away at the
Johunys, far on our left After a night
of ceaseless firing and without rest, we
passed through the enett*'s lines, captur
iog many. prisoners. Toni; the Boyd town
Plunk Road, (by-the-wzy"the plank are ail
goue,) and moved di;ectl .for Petersburg..
We found the' town II d a fort or two
iltl4 by tbo coemy. 'l3 moved on to
the bights overlooking tb forts and town,
reconnoitered, and threw up breastworks,
all the while compliment 4 by shells from
the enctnyie batteries. I n the morning
the birds; (as designed,) bad flown; Rich-,
mond was evacuated, and we all flew,
after them. IVe pressed on' fait, only,
pausing to rest a little r and picl u the
deserting Johnnies,, of which the Woods
were full, The ;pad we traveled was the
one the main body , of the'
markedenemy ;Moved,
upon, and his route u 43 marked byireat
numbers of his horses . and mules !dead
along the, road, and great quantl'Os of
accouterments which his tired add de l
_serting soldiers had thrown away' r f i The
roads too were strewn with tobacco for
miles, mostly in leaf;"enough and of a
quality to call out the admirationi of the
most fastidious smoker and chewer..
we moved on in their immediate rear, the
cavalry trimming them on their flank
and taking a large portion of their wagon
train, until the morning of the 6th of
April, when after marching two roil'es we
came up with them near 'a little hamlet
called Dratonville, when commenced one
of the most singular running•.rglit's of
the whole war. It wits the fortune of
.__. ... oats me fortune
this Brigade, and particularly of this
Regiment to take n cOnspinuous I To.rt in
it. The older portion of the Regitnent,
(and many of the men date their service
from or near the commencement of the
war,) was, recruited in Philadelpfiie, and
brave and devoted men they are. i Our
Colonel, Biles, was wounded in the action
of the 25th of March; and we were led
by our ssnior Captain, Gillet.. Ati them
wo went followinetheir skirmishers,
much of the time at a double quick and
always close on the enemies' beel4 until
he succeeded in planting his battery on
one of the many high ridges the country
abounds in. Here we • were obliged ,to
pause for a few minntes, When the com
mand "forward boys, chaige thenl out,"
was given, and on we rushed. We had
to Pass over one entire small ridge; across
a ifpilaw, and up an extended slope to
their breastworks. C Nearly the ; whole
way we were exposed to a galling; fire of
shells and musketry, and many a brave
fellow was struck, particularly while pass.
ing over the last one hundred rods to
their outer line of works. Our Regiinent
was immediately in the front of these
works. Reaching these -we paused a
moment for breath,exchanged a feiv shots
and rushed for a partly demolished rail
fence, a few rods in advance, and giving'
us a better opportunity to dislodge theM.
The Johnnys tried a flank on our left'
under cover of some buildings, but a few
vollies of our Well directed muskets soon
convinced them that that, was impranti- I
,
cable s , when with a yell, such as lies often I
carried terror to hebel,breasts, werushed '
upon then, and succeeded in securing'
iheir works and a large number nf pri.
oilers. They got away this time however I
With their battery. Our loss was quite 1
heavy, but \ I believe but one man from
Potter county was killed. ' I
Our stay here was short. We formed
our line again and soon .encountered
their skirmishers. Being slightly ele- 1
I vated above our skirmish line and badly
, ,
I exposed, part .
of the rbe delivered its fire
on the enemy, whedfairly breakin g e. from
i l all control several re g iments, ours among
the foremost,' rushed'
,
after the flying
, \
Johnnys, and in a few . -minutes we had
; their battery, its accempanying train and
I quite a number more prisoners. Here,
I after ref i orming we retired fer a little rest,
!after a most . exciting chase\nf perhaps
sit miles. We were close upon the main
portion of the enemies train, still left:by
the cavalry. The right of our Division
I took up the chasb in our steed, andiin the
!eveninci we had the satisfaction of seein. ,
1
the whole of this train in our posiessiou
with upwards of stloo prisoners. 1.1 am
'
happy to say, that while all' did well, the
'"new men, especially from POtter, were no
1 .
1 way behind their Ornrades, and were so
noticed and commended by our com
manding officers. , 4. •
I should like so describe to you the
scene and contents of the captured train,,
but.space will not permit.' I will only
say; that it appears that hoe•eake and not,
i 1
hardtack appears to have been their
i bread by the number, of ;old fashioned
' bake-kettles and spiders fobnd there and
in their deserted camps. i They would
number thousands in all. ;
The 7th we were in linenearly all day
with sharp skirmishing continually going
on, but Lee evidently declined giving
battle. More of his train was destroyed
and the taking of prisoners had ceased
to excite any edriosity. Dead horses and
mules of their trains were lyina. along by
hundreds, cases of ammunition met the
eye eveiywhere, and burped caisons and
cannon with damaged carriages were to
be seen every fourth .ofiu mile. The
chief feature on the Sth. was the coming
lof vast numbers of Johnns, and the Bur
-1 render of several batters of artillery,
i
' their tir' , 3 liorse o s'beino. unable to drag
them alo g farther.
; Thing' were now evidently approach-,
l idg, a crisis. Lee could dot possiOy sus- 1
I fain himself longer. s; we came out
I past a littlelamlet called, D• i ireT Store, one
lof the grandest sighti wls to be seen

Ipanying trains, might be Seen as far as
Ithe bye could distinguish hem, all con
verging to one pint,Clover Hill, some
ten miles away.; The i34orning of the
auspicious 9th hf .A.ni4l; dawned and
found.us near Clover Etll*ti , close on the
I
;cowed and *tiered army of :Richmond.
(14 flag of trade, came in ta;ed. it was soon
'whispered that Lee was about surrender.
1 inn. . Bpand•bye aucall went out from
u s and we saw the Arai Headquarters
moving rapidly up
to this froht, while the
vast army paused; and ;rested on their
.ansig in' a vat :fild. tt after three.
I Bo on
o'clock - P. M . ; ch - eers begs' to arise on
our front ,and couriers to , rapidly past
us crying' Chat '_'Lee has surrendered!"
Then one loud and wild / shout arose from
those dense thousands / 6f armed men, and
such a scene was pretiented as may never
nein be witnessed n' the world. Your
enthusiasm 'at hothe, was great and un-,
bounded, what.then must have been the
feelings of this tired and bleeding army
when their to l 2
ls were thus unexpectedly
ended. Th report - could hardly be be.'
Hewed not' Gen.- Meade himself rode
through and amongst us, and, proclaimed
it amid ch shouts,oheers, huzzahiogni,
and, I . may say it without intimating that
the men were womanly di childish, TEARS,
I such as only a glad but determine& and
valient army would show.
1 You will forgive me for indulging in
a >little enthusiasm and glorification at
this point, more on aceount of my com
rades who have suffered so long. Their
joy was unbounded, arid mine could not
be otherwise. The boasted twenty years'
fight in Virginia of Jeff Davis, was cul- 1
minated in six April days of 1565; his
ablest Geoeral outgeoeraled, cornered,
and surrendered, his tired and dispirited
army, like the spaniels they likened us
to, glad to lick the hand •(or eat the ra
tions) of their eiiquerers, and go home
as fast as policy would permit their de.
partaire. f will not attempt to give you
figures for the numhers taken or amounts
captured; let it suffice that it was their
all, and their Judas of a leader is now an
outcast'and a vagabond on the face of the
earth—another Gain !
The country through which we have
passed is a beautiful one, and it does
seem as if its i inhabitants would have
taken the "sober second thought" before
they invited its desecration lay an armed
foe. It required but a little stretch of
the imagination to see many a Paradise
on our route, but in every case an ideal
man might exclaim with the spirit in
the poem :
"Poor race of men, cried the pitying spirit,
DeaHy ye pay for your primal fall;
Some flowers'of Eden ye still inherit,
But the trail of the serpent is over them
all."
The blight that Slavery has left may
everywhere be seen, but thank Gcd, the
flaunting strumpet shall no longer put to
blush the virgin maid of Liberty. Vir
ginia now alone needs rest and she will
rebound stronger and fairer than ever
before when she could justly claim to I be
the "mother of Liberty." ;
The: contrast between our 'going to
wards Lynchburg and coming back, the
inhabitants must have noticed. Then
everything useful was taken and much
that was immaterial destroyed. Now
nothing is injured, and we march almost
as if passing through our own fields. As
we were marching back to this point,
long columns of the Johnoys might be
seen moving parallel to us towards their
homes without insult or derision. They
appear satisfied, and its most cases profess
themselves glad to get out of the scrape
on any terms. There are exceptions
however, and yesterday thirteen of them
wero to be bung for stoping on their
journey, with their paro!s in their-pock
ets, and tearing up the Railroad above
Baksville. .
The weather_ . ..has generally been,fine,
'with now and ',then a rainy and muddy
day and night. The chase . has been
hard but manfully borne, for 'we could
see the end What our destination now
is I know not, nor can I guess, fdir our
news is yet too meager ; but it is expect•
ed, that as soon as te affairs can be ar
ranged, and with safety left to , take their
own and usual course, the army will be
greatly reduced and we shall return to
once more mingle our congratulations
vcith yours that the Union is forever safe,
and Freedom a second time won.
, Yours truly ; E. O.AUSTIN.

STEBBINS'
APPEARANCE OF THE CogPs.—Death
bas fastened into his frozen fice'all , the
eharacter„and idiosyncrasy of life. - ,He •
has not change:a one line- of his grave,
grotesque countenance. nor smoothed out
a single featUre. The hue' is rather
bloodless end leaden; but he was always
Sallow. The dark eyebrows seemed ab
ruptly arched;: the beard, which' will
grow no more, is shaved close, save the
tuft at the sharp, small chin. The nitintli
is shut, like that one who had put the
foot down ftrm,and so are the eyes,ivhich
look as calm as slumber. The collar is
short and awkward, turned over the stiff
elastic antral', and whatever energy or
humor or tender gravity marked the hy
ing face is hardened into its pulseless,
outline. No corpse in the world is better
prepared as-cording to appearance. The
white satin around it reflects suficient
light upon the face to show us death is
really there; but there are sweet' roses
and early magnolias, and the blamiest of
lilies strewn around as if the flowers had
began to bloom even upon his coffin. We
look on unterruptedly,. for there is no
preasure; for henceforward the plaCe will
be thronged with gazers who will take
from the sight its suggestiveness and re
spect. Three years ago, when little
Willie Lincoln died, Drs. Brown and
Alexander, the embalmers or injectors,
prepared hisbody so handsomely that the.
President had it twice disinlerred to look
upon it, The same men, ini the same way
have made perpetual those beloved linea•
clients. There is no* no blood is the
body. It was drained by theju o ciar vein
and sacredly preserved, and through a
cutting on the inside ,of the thigh the
empty blood vessels wore charged with a
chemical preperation, Which soon holden
ed to the consistency of stone. The long
and bony body is nowjhard and stiff, so
that beyond its present position it can•
not be moved any morn than the arms of
legs of a statue. It his undergone many
chan g es. The scalp has been removed,
the brain scooped out,, the chest opened
and the blood emptied!. All' this we see
of Abraham Lincoln, so cunningly con
templated in this spltndid coffin, is a'
mere shell ; an effigy, an sculpture. He
lies in sleep, but it. is the sleep of marble.
All that made this flesh vital, sentinent,
and effectionate is gone forever.

—lt was ascertained some weeks ago
from personal friends of the late Presi
dent that he bad received several private
letters warning him that an attempt
would probab y be made upon his' life ;
ict
but to this b did not seem to attach
much if any i portance. It bas always
been thought that he was not sufficiently
careful of his individual safety in his
last visit to Virginia. It is known that
on freqent occasions he would start from
the Executive Mansion for his summer
.[
country residence at the Soldiers , Home
without the, usual cavalry escort, which
often hurried and overtook him before he
had proceeded far. It has always been
understood that this escort was accepted
by him, only on the iinportunity of his
friends as a matter of precaution. The.
President before retiring to bed would,
svhen important military events were pro
gressing, visit the War Department, gen.
orally alone, passing over the dark inter
ironing ground even at late hours on re•
Peated occasions, and after the .warning
letters had been received several close
arid intimate friends, armed for any ewer•
pixy, were careful that he should not
continue his visit without their company.
For himself the President seemed to have
no fears. . '

April 28.''-1865.--A
dispatch from' Gen- Grant dated at
Raleigh, 10 ji. cu., April 26,juitreceived
by tbia , DepartMent, states that'•letin
stou surreedered the forces in his com
mand, ethbracing all from hero to Chat ,

agreed upon between Lee and myself for
the Army of Northern Virginia.
/EDWIN M. STANTON, Sec'y,of War.
/ The last•that was heard by Geo John-
Skit] of the chivalrous chief of the last
ditehers, Jefferson' .D., was that he had
started away for parts unknown in an'
ambulance and was supposed to be hid
den somewhere in the mountains. May
this be the end of him There coald be
no more ludicrously insignificant tenni
nation to the career of this arch „Rebel
than in the flight which he has igdotnin
icusly chosen. There is nothing ckf the
heroic in this: Had he.bravely yielded
himself - a prisoner with chivalrous Lee,
i
perhaps a bard or two n ages to cothe
might have sunk, the life, fortunes, and
tragical death of J. Davis, but now there
will none be found so poor as to do him
reverence. •
Very little difSculty was expeilenced
by the two chieftains in agreeing to the
.terms of the capitulation of the Southern
armies. Sherman offered and Johnston
accepted substantially the same terms
which were offered by Gen. Grant to
Gen. Lee. Johnston further agreed to
issue a proclamation to the Rebel Legis
latures, calling upon them to meet at,
their respective capitals and take the oath
of allegiance to the Government of the
United States.'l
1 John C. Bre2kinridge, who was pres,-
ent on the grounds before the interview,
evidently thought that, being a politician,
he would be tibia to outwit Sherthan in
obtaining for him a recognition of his
right to treat with him ai• a civil officer 1
of the Confederate Government, who
might be supposed to represent the views
of its President. But Gen. Sherman ci
foiled all his attempts, and erely ree I
()grazed him io his capacity as ieutenant
General, of the Confederacy, and did not
negotiate with him at all.
During the day, Gen. Sherman cotn- i
municated to Gen. Johnston the intelli
gence of the assassination of President
Lincoln, and it is only just to a sworn
though honorable enemy, to say that
Gen. Johnston was grieved by the news
and seemed to be as,niuch shocked by it
as if he were a Northern man and a friend
of the Piesident's.
