Mr.!. LlnColn's Entrance Into
Washington.
II
While in washington city, early in de
cember, 1864, the writer of this article
called on the President, with Isaae . N.Ar-
Hold reerober of Congress from Chicago,
one of Mr Lincoln's most trusted personal
friends. We found him alone in the room '
wherein the Cabinet meetings are held
tint the White, House) whose windows
overlook the Potomac and Wasbingbn
Monument. , At the request of the writer
the President related the circumstances
of his clandestine journey between Phila
delphia and Washington. The tiarative
is here given substantially in his own
words as follows : ' • - ,
"I arrived at Philadelphia on the 2Vst:
I agreed to stop over night, and on the
following morning hoist the flag over
.
Independeece Hall. In the evening there
_vas . a great crowd where I reeeived my
friends• at the Coutinental Hotel: Mr.
Judka .warm personal friend from Chi
cago,sent for me to come to his room. I
••
vent and found there Mr. Pinkerton, a
skillful olico detective,also from Chicago
who had been employed for some days in
Baltimore, watching or searching for sus
piciOus persons there: Pinkerton informed
toe that a plan had been laid for my as
sassination, the exact Unto when I ei
peet to•go through Baltimore being
•known. lie was well informed as
to the plan, but did not know that the
conspirators would f ilar°, pluck enough to
execute it. He unzed 'lne to go right
through with hint to Vashiugton that
night. • -
.
''l didn't like that. I had made en
gagements to visit Harrisburg, and go
• f rom there to Baltimore, nod I resolved
to do so.; I could not believe there was
a plot to i murder me. I made arrange
ments, however, with Mr. Judd fur my
return to Philadelphia the next night,if I
should be convinced that there was danger
in goiag through Baltimore. I told him
that if ,I should meet at Harrisburg, as I
had atlother pittees,a delegation to go with
we to the next place (then Baltimore,) I
should feel safe, and go on. .
1 . When I was making my way back tea
my room,through crowds of people,l met
Frederick Seward. We went together to
nay remit, when he told me that he bad
been sent, at the instance, of his father,
and General Scott,to inform me that their
detectives, in Baltiunore,had discovered a
plot there to, assassinate me. They knew
.
nothing of nnkerton's movements. I now
believed such a plot to be in existenceo.
"The pest morning I raisedhe flag
lover Independence Ball, and th n went
H
to arriSburg with Mr. Sumner,
M Major
d
(now General) Hunter, r. Jud , Mr.
Lemon and others. There I met the
'Legislature .and people, dined, and waited I
until the time appointed for me to leave.
In the meantime Mr. Judd had so secured
the telegraph that, no 'communication could
pass to Baltimore and give the conspira
tors knowledge of a change of my plans.
"In New York some, friend had given
toe a new beaver hat in a box and in it
'had • placed a soft wool. bat. I. had this
boz in my room. Having informed a very I
few friends of the secret of my new move.,
anent, and the causej. put on an old over-I
siout I had with Me, and putting the soft i
hat in my pocket, I walked out of (he
house at a back door,bare-beaded,without
-exciting any special, curiosity. Then I
put on the soft hat and joined my friends 1
without being recognized by strangers,for
1 was not the same man. Sumner and
Hunter Wilted to accompany me. I said 1
vo, you are known, and your presence 1
inight betray me. I will only take Lamon ,
(now marshal of this district,) whom no-1
body knew, and .Mr. Judd. Sumner and I
Iluoter felt hurt. .
"We went back to Philadelphia; and
found a message t there from Pinkerton
< who had returned to Baltimore,) that the i
.conspirators hail held their final Meeting
<hat evening,and it was doubtful it he.ther
2they had the nerve to attempt .the execu
tion of their purpose. I went on however
-,s the,arraogernents bad been made, in a
*Racial train. We were along titnein the
-maim' at Baltimore. I heard •people
talking aronnd, but no one particularly
observed me. At an early hour on satur
day morning, at about the time I was ei
pected to leave Harrisburg, I. arrived in
IVashington."

GEN. GEAltif IN HISTORY.
We' have before us the .second and re
cently published volume of "The Great
Rebellion : a History of the Civil War
in the United States," by J. T. Headley,
the well known author of "Napoleon and
his Marshals," and "Washington and his
Generals." From many expressions to be
found in - this book, - we judge the writer
to be a Democrat, somewhat, but
inclined to Copperheadism, and opposed
to the, gladicals, ' but in the main 'patri
ot:e in his sentiments. Happening to
light upon a couple of passages of this
volume relating to General John W.peary
now the Union candidate for Governor of
Pennsylvania, we concltided to publish
thtim for the benefit of such of our r aders
as have not seen the book.
In the author's account of the ba ' ttle of
IV anliatchie, near Chattanooga,he seys,on
page 261:
"All this time lientry, and incessant
volleys of musketry arose from the spot
iwhere Geary was struggling against over
whelming numbers. The fighting here
was desperate, and several times he was
nearly overborne; but with that tenacity
which has always clistinguished'hiln, he
Still clutig to his position, ,and at length
„hurled the enemy back, compelling him
to take refuge on Lookout. montain. The
valley was now ours. Geary gained new
bettors in this bard-fought battle; but
they were dearly won, for his sclu, a cap
tain, was killed." I
And on pagc 20, when descrbing the
battle of Lookout, mountain, the writer
says again :
"Alt this juncture the scene 'became one
of mdst exciting interests The thick fog,
which had heretofore rested in dimse folds
upon the sidesyf the mountaiii,tricealing
the combatants from viesi,suddenly lifted
tothe' summit of the lofty ridgefrevealing
to the, anxious gaze of tliousaods in the
valleys and on the plains beloi a scene
such as is witnessed but once in 4,century.
Gen. Geary's columns, flushedlwith vic
tory,grappled with the foe uponttbe rocky
ledges,aud drove him back withislaughter
from his works. While ;the result was un
certain the attention was breathless add
painful; but when victory perdhed upon
oue standards shout upon shout rent the
air. The 'whole Army, ;with ode accord,
broke out imjoydus acelarnations. Men
were frantic with joy, and even General
Thomas himself, who seldom eihibits his
I emotions,' said, involuntarily : did not
' think it possible for meii to eecomplibb so
much."' ,
So much for the prcsent, as to the writ
ten, history of Gen. Gem'''.
And while all this gloriousstruggle was
going on,wheve was Mr:'i fleii•ter ly•ruer?
On this or any other battle-fie'ld risking
his life in the service of his con ; ntry ? not
tit all. But some one may say, perhaps,
he was, while at home, sustaining the
National AdMinistration in its efforts to
crush the rebellion which was threatening
the life of the nation. , Perhaps bo was
endeavoring to reconcile the people to the
heavy but tnecessary burnens !which the
war imposed upon them. P"erhaps he
was cheering on i new recruits Who might
be inarehingferWard to fill up the ranks
of our diminished armies • do till lie could
Ito promote the comfort of he sold ers and
making the service' as pleasant and bon
orable as pos'sible. Had he been engaged
1 ,
in any of these praiseworthy nbjects, be
should have ldue honor fix .his conduct
even if it did not suit him to-riik his com
fort and life on the field of bettle. But
his neighbors and aCquaintahees know
that be - i . .cared for notie of thehe things."
On the contrari i he acted withthe faction
{bat was doing all in its Powei lo embar
rass tbe GovernMent in its efforts to raise
recruits and pay them; the (action that
Ras endeavoring to promote discontent
and sedition in ;the loyal Stafes, and to
take from soldiers in the field the privilege
of voting; in short, doing all politically
that was calculated to please Viillandigham
and other traitors in the North li and rebels
in the South. ;
Geary—ClyMer. what a contrast ;
And yet the Copperheads pretend to think
that the latter; has some chhnee of an
election. We think that Ge.ay's record
in the war, and Clymer's record in the
Senate and elsewhere, musts be .blotted
from the pages j of history befereany each
disaster can occur.

of the negro. Now that the war is over, ev

Rice's Elephant on a "Tear."
Our' readers will remember r the elephant
"Romeo," with Dan Rice's show, which was
in this city a week rtgo. This animal for
sometime has been showing indications of a
spirit of insabozdination, showed a bad
disposition on the road between Carbondale
end, Mt. Pleasant, refusing to tarn out for
teams, 4c. Arriving at New Milford, rind
still' being unruly; Rice concluded to subdue
himt and for this: purpose they chained his
hind legs to a tree, and endeavored.to fasten
a rope to his fora lag, and by this means
Main- him. After many fruitless attempts,
the effort was sudcessful. The'rone was at-
I •
tached to a tacklo, and sixteen men combined
their strength to - pull him down. Re fooled
them. With a,blaw of his trunk released
his fore leg, and by a tremendous effort broke
the chains. The:men scattered in all direc-.
lions pursued bq the animal. One of them
saved his life byl.bounding over a fence, and
the elephant, for, satisfaction, threw down a
long span of it. j
At o'clock they had) managed to throw
him, and with clubs and spikes were endeav
oring to subdue him. Some fifty shots were
fired and took effect in his trunk and other
portions Of his bbdy, but they were only flea
bites and were but skin sleep.—Seranteit I

IlZrThis month, three yerirs agoi.iv i as one
of thrilling interest to the whole l'torthern
people, but more particularly to the people of
Pennsylvania and Maryland. General Lee
with an 'ansty a' hundred thousand strong,had
invaded these States. Terror' seized upon
many of the people,.and "there was mounting
in hot haste" and flight. Yorkjwas surrendered
to the rebels ; Wrightsville was occupied,rind
the bridge across the Susquehanna at that
ph a se' was, destroyed. As sootas the Govern
mentlbee.sme apprised of the movements of
the enemy, Gen.Meade,who then commanded
'
the army of the Potomac,was sent up to inter
cept and to beat Lee off, The two armies met
, I
at Get ysberg rin the firsts day of July,. and
fought one of the most' sariguinary battles of
the w r. General Lee was defeated and
driven' l across the, kotomac General Geary I
was conspicuous in that fight, hs division'
,
killing and wounding' over seven rboosand of I
the e+by. This was a decisive engagement
and its success relieved the
,people of Penn
sylvauLia of the rebel? brigands. York was
assessed one hundred thonsaucl dollars, and
paid fOrty thonaand of if. I I
-lad the' the battle
of Gettysburg been lost, we shorrid have had
sixty t i bousan(Vdollars more to pay: Every
soldier who fought in this' battle upon' our
side doserves the highest pr i aise. To Gentr i al
Geary' the people of•this section owe a debt of
gratitiide which money cannot liquidate'. He
distinguished himself by courage and gallantry
on this blbody field. Amid the thunder of
cannon, the screaming shell, the whistle. of
bullets, and the clash of sabrris, always in the
thickest of thO fight Was this gallant officer,
forgetful of self,' and intent only on a wilanias
victory for Union and freedom. Let the peo
ple'of this State not forget the man wlo per
iled his life for their sake. All hail! gallent
hero, you have fairly and honorably won the
laurels you so modestly wear. l i f Gen. Geary
bad rendered no other services than those he
performed at Gettysburg, heiwould deserve to I
receive the thanks, not only of thb . people oft
his native State, but of the whole country at

country,can be safely trusted with his country's I
honor.--Irark True Democrat.

that the blows fell lower,two on the shoulders
two on the neck, and two 'on the face. On the
last blow the tacewas shivered into fragments
and Rousseau ceasedlis 'attack, Meanwhile,
Grinnell had endeaVored to arrest the blows,
which were aimed at his head, receiving a
Portion of one blow on his hand. '
As Rousseau ceased, Grinnell 'said, l'You
haven't hurt me." Rousseau replied, didn't
want to hurt you; I wanted to disgrade you,"
and withdrew ' followed by'several of his
friends who acted as his escort. Mr. Grinned
is not suffering , any ill effects from the blows
which he received, arid it is probable that to
morrow his assailant will be !brought before
the bar of the House, perhaPS, to be expelled
for this unjustifiable assault. ' j •
The provocation which Ronsseab alleged
hurt his honor, took place laSt Moriday,when
he made an uncalled for and improper assault
upon both speaker .Colfax and Mr. Grinnell,
which the latter resented. It took Rousseau
four dayi to find onFttitit his 'honor needed
the aid of the -bindgeot to repair it.
