dent Ashmun and the Charm "a Of the state

Lincoln his nomination, arrived at Spring
field on Saturday night, and proceeded 70
Mr. Lincoln 5 residence, where Mr.. Ashmun,
in a brief speech, presented Mr.. Lincoln the
letter announcing his nomination.
Mr.. Lincoln replied as follows.
Mr.. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLENEN o. TIE
COMMITTEE: / tender to YOU, and. through
you, TO the Republican National Conv ntion,
and all the people represented in it. my
profoundest thanks for the high honor done
me, which You formally announce. Deeply,
and even painfully, sensible Of the great
responsibility which is insepaTable, from
that honor-a responsibility which | could
almost wish could have fallen upon some one
Of the far more eminent men and experienced
statesmen whose distinguished names were
before the Convention, Ishall, by your leave,
consider the resolutions Of the Convention
denominated the platform, and without
unreasonable delay respond 70 YOU, Mr.
Chairman, in writing; not doubtinz that the
platform will lie found satisfactory and the
nomination be accepted. And now VIII no
longer defer the pleasure of taking you and
each OF YOU bv the hand.
The members of the Committee were then
presented to Mir. Lincoln.
FRUIT TREEs,--An article is going the
rounds Of the papers in this section Of the
country, to the effect that the town Of Ben
nirgton has this year expended six hundred
dollars for young fruit trees. The Banner
says that amount has been purchased from a
single nursery, and other parties have sold
5000 worth more.
Two MEN broke Jail in Irasburgh last week
on Friday. Their names were John Wilson
and John Eleazar, The Standard remarks,
not putting too fine point on it, - one
might as well try to stem a swelling current
with sand, or safely navigate the ocean in a
cast iron kettle with crow bar for paddle,
as to endeayor to keep rascals in our jail and
we recommend that at the next term of the
court everybody inspect the thing, and then
reason with themselves if it is not better to
let thieves run unmolested, than to arrest
them, board them from three to six months,
get them fat, and then let them clear out,
leaving the county to settle good stiff board
bill, &c, as they have been obliged to in
nine instances in less than ten years.

Celibacy Of Washington Irving,

Instead of being defect, tho coIbacy Of
Irving was bis crown of glory. Those who
have studied his writings, must have been
struck with the remarkable transition from
humor to pathos, from the broadest fun to
the most meditative sontimont, which occurs
between the facetious history of Now York
and the Sketch Book. Many. perhaps, i'm
agino that this is accounted for by his loss
of fortune. But the feeling is too soulful
for such an Interpretation. 1t had its ORR |
gin in ono of those disappontments of the !
hoart which color all the subsequent lie Of
a truo hearted man. We trust that now
there is no want of delicacy in alluding to
tho fact that tho subject of1ryng'e love died
during their betrothal. Wo havc hoard the
last interview described by member Of hor
family; and to the sacrpd sorrow thus en-
gendersd is to bo ascIibed much that is
touching and true in the sentiment of Ir.
wings writings; to his felty TO this affection,
IN no small degree, is owing tho continued
sensibilty which kept lis heart fresh to tho
last and above all, that respect for and
sympatby with the innete aud holy sont.
ments Of humanity which he so long and
uniformly cherished and manifested in
lotters and in life.
Nor is this all. Timo may have healod
tho wound and rcconcIsd the bereft to an
other relation; but there iutervoned a
period Of disaster which drove his eldest
brother to bankruptcy; for his sake and
that of his family of daughters, Washington
Irving continued single, took them oil home.
and became father 10 the children. Beau.
tiful was their mutual devotion happy
their congepial household; and Sunnyside
is now bcqueathed to them. No one IA
miliar with Mr.. Irving associated the idea OF
celihacy with him ; he was always in do
mestic atmosphere; his nicces wero like
daughters; his fair noighbors bis favorite
companions; children the delight of his
heat. With such free and fond affections
hc could. under no crc cumstances, lead the
life of single man. as the phrase is usually
understood. He was domesticatod in fam
iiies abroad he was tho endeared center o
one at home aud one Of the most beautifu
