THE NEWS FROM NEw-YORK.

THE correspondent of The 81. LOHtS Democrat thus
depicts the reception by DR. Lincoln and his friends OF
the news from the Empire State:
The next news was from Pittsburgh, and as it was
read aloud "Alegheny County 10000 majority for
Lincoln" the surprise had marked effect, Tor, IN
truth, it was unexpected. A dispatch from Phadel-
phia foowed-' Is 900 plurality, and 1000 majority
over ALL" Ii is hard to say which feeling was then
uppemost-snrprise or pleasure. Mr.. Lincoln re-
marked that this was better than he expecedar bet
ter. II was confirmed by the following brief but per-
tinent dispatch from Simon Cameron:
SAT-, on t 10 r' eno%sb O' s. CAMERON
This was the frat from New-York, and was too
vague to be satisfactory and az il nearly mid
night there was brisk renewal of the Impotence to
hear from New-York. Mr.. Lincoln, Mayor Lltton OF
Springfield Senator Trumbuil, and others, were IN
yited step across the street and paTtake OF COLA
tion prepared by the Republican ladies of Springfield
for the entertainment of their friends. ALI hands ae-
cOrdnQly repaired to the place. and found long table
well spread with eatabes. The ball was pretty well
crowded and as Mr.. Lincoln entered, there was, OF
course general connection. The ladies rushed Tor
ward to shake hands, and it was How do you do,
Mr. President from hundred feminine voices, all at
the same moment The hero of the occasion went
through with the required handshaking amid chorus
of singers who struck up meanwhile;
"We're the Lincoln boys!
Were the Lincoln boys!
Amt You glad you Joined the Republicans,
Joined the Republicans
Amt you glad YOU Joined the Republicans"
The ladies added their voices to the music OF the mer-
rieat, and nspirting scene was seldom WIT
nesed The ladies were soon CONTEMPLATING each
other: "Oh I've shaken hands with Lincoln, re-
marks one blushng fair one 10 another. y" Have
you?" replied the second; "well, I've done better
than that, for at the head of the table when he
came in and bad shake there, and then around and
took my place at the foot of the line and shook hands
with him AGAIN"
While this was in progress a dispatch arrived at the
telegraph Office from Simeon Draper, announcing that
the City of Ncw-York complete gave the Fuslonlsts
only q 900. II WAS carried to 1lr. Lincoln and n
Duplicate sent TO the State House. 1t is utterly mpos-
sible TO describe the scene which ensued. AS Mr.:
Lincoln read it, laces and gentlemen closed IN and
overwhelmed him with congratulations. On, you
are elected now" said the ladies' and " il is all safe,
paid the gentlemen. These remarks, with varia-
tons poured in for ten minutes; and II MIR. Lincoln
left The telegraph Office for the purpose of taking
hiue rofreslment, he came as near being Killed by
kindness as man can conveniently be without serious
results At the State House the was five times
as bad Men pushed each other, threw up their hats,
hurrahed, oheered for Lincoln, oheered for
Trumbull, cheered for New-iOrk, cheered Tor
everybody; and some actually laid down on the
carpeted floor, and rolled over and over. IL was
some tine before order could be restored TO read the
dispatch from Draper a second time. " New York,
50 0O0 majority for Lincolnp p And then another
sccne-"Did YOU hear that" "Where's Douglas
:" Hit him again" "Three cheers for the Empire
State" These are only sample OF the remarks. The
applause war tremendous. The Illinois State House
never before heard such noise, and probably never
will again. II is beyond description, and "a this was
the eliminating point OF doubt, groups co Rmenced to
eaye-not to 20 to bed-but 70 let the town know the
result Some went one way and some another, yelling
like demons, "New-York, 30, 0GO majority for Lincoln
/" UEoop, rrhoop, hurrah" And Springfield went OF
ike one immense cannon report, with shouting from
houses shouting from stores shouting from housetops
and shouting everywhere. Parties ran through thu
streets singing, Amt glad I've joined the Repub
| licans," till they were too hoarse to speak.
