The Future Lady Of the White House.
A correspondent of the New York World
presents the following portrait of Mrs. Lin.
coin: tu.m. .... ......
The future lady of the White House, is,
perforce, q parsonage to whom just now the
liveliest interest attaches. That she will
adorn and grace even the exalted position
to which she bids fair to succeed, none who
have had the fortune to see her can doubt.
She is yet apparently on the advantageous
side of forty, with face upon which dig
nifty and sweetness are blended, and an air
of cultivation and refinement to which ia.
miliarity with the courtly drawing rooms OF
London, or the aristocratic salons of Paris
would hardly lend an added grace. She is
admirably calculated to preside over our
republican court. If one were permitted so
far to describe her personal appearance as
to meet halfway the respectful curiosity
which is generally felt upon the subject, the
description would be that she is slightly
above the medium stature, with brown eyes,
clearly cut features, delicate, mobile, express
sive; rather distinguished in appearance than
beautiful, conveying to the mind generally
an impression Of self-possession, stateliness
and elegance. / distrust my own opinion
upon subjects of the kind, but I concur in
the belief prevalent hereabouts that she will
make as admirable leader of the stately
danes and lovely demoiselles Of the national
capital, as the most fastidious social marti.
net could desire.

WHAT LINCOLN THINKS ABOUT IT.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 10.
Herald Correspondence. MIR. Lincolns
advices from the Southern States look like
anything but secession. He is stormed with
applications for Office. When asked what
he will do about the attempt to break up
the Union, be replied that be is only citi-
zen; that Mr.. Buchanan is President; that
it will be time enough to announce his in.
tention after the 4th of March next. He
remarked, in conversation with gentleman
day or two since, that be should carefully
guard against infringing upon the constitu.
tional rights OF any section of the country,
and should take the same precaution to see
that each section was equally loyal.
Special Dispatch to the N. Y. Times
= --- SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Nov. 9. o.
/ find that Mr.. Lincoln is not insensible
to any uneasiness in the minds of candid
men, nor to any commercial or financial
expression of disturbance iu the country.
If there be such still, he does, so far as at
present advised, deem it unnecessary for him
to make or authorize any public declaration.
He thinks candid men need only examine
his views already before the public.
Leading Republicans here are opposed to
giving the secessionists any satisfaction as
to what will be Lincoln's course. They
say: "What is the use Of letting your enemy
know what you will do when he attacks
you? Why tell him, if he strikes you,
where you are going to hit him? Why
should Lincoln put his enemies on their
guard? Is it not better that the secession
lists should be in the dark as to how they
will be treated?"
