ment. Mr.. Lincoln appeared and bowed,
and the train went on.
WINDOWS BROKEN.
At Ravenna, as the train was passing by
the artillery squad, the report Of one gun
broke a window in the first car, and the So
cond crashed in the one beside which Mrs.
Linculn was sitting, startling her and all in
the car, but doing no further damage.
At Bedford there was a large collection Of
people, but the train did not stop.
At Newburgh there was a full turnout,
and the Blast Furnace sent up its most
piercing whistle as the train passed. The
workmen of Messrs. Stone, Chisholm &
Jones' Rolling Mill, 225 in number, were
stationed along the track, and greeted the
train With three deafening cheers as it pass
ed slOwly by.
And 50, after fine run over q fine road,
the train reached Cleveland.
~ - g. OFFICIALS.
On board the train were President McCul-
Tough, General Ticket Agent Myers, and
Conductor L. G. Russell.
PERSONAL.
Mr. Wood, the manager of the party, is
one of the most efficient, energetic men that
could have been selected. He will be re-
msmbered by some of our readers as the
gentleman who generously took charge of
the body Of the lamented Henry Clay from
Washington to Ashland in 1852.
TIE TINE MADE.
On portion OF the Cleveland and Pitts
burgh road, six miles was made in six and a
quarter minutes. Good time, that
.a Mr.. LrNCoLs's HEALTH.
The health of Mr.. Lincoln has actually
improved since he left Springfield. The
reason is obvious. While there, he sat in
his Office and heard gloomy reports of States
seeding, and ruptures in the country
Since he started on his journey, however,
better things are heard. The votes have
been quietly counted and he is peaceably de-
clared elected. He sees multitudes of citi-
zens rushing to see him, all wishing him
God-speed, and all offering to help him in
his work. So that he is better and stronger
to-day than when he left his Western home.
HON. u. B. JUDD.
On board the train was Hon. N. B. Judd,
of Illinois, leading lawyer, and one of the
most prominent men of the West He has
labored untiringly for the success of the Re
publican cause, and to him in great part is
due the election of Mr.. Lincoln.
THE RECEPTION AT CLEVELAND.
At an early hour yesterday morning people
began to arrive BY various railroads, in wsg-
ons, on horseback, on foot, and in all other
ways, if other ways there be,eager to catch
glimpse of the man chosen Of the people to
fill the office of Chief Magistrate Of the
United States As the hours moved on, and
the time appointed for the arrival of the
Pittsburgh train drew near, the streets be-
gun to fill with people, most of whom di-
rected their steps towards the Euclid street
depot, ourself among the number Through
out the whole length of the street, or for a
distance of two and half miles, the side
walks were lined with pedestrianS-,sn the
doors, windows and yards, filed with inter
ested spectators. On arriving at eur desti-
nation, we found the military standing as a
guard about the depot and the carrisges
which were TO convey the expected guests
to their hotel Passing through the line, we

the swaying multitude, which must have
numbered thousands. Several men and
boys had gained the roof of the station
house and kept their gaze fixed upon the
point down the track where the train would
first appear in sight, Now and then cry
arose "there they come" and a simultane-
Gus rush of the pOpulace required all the
efforts of the police and military to maintain
their line unbroken. The horses of the dra-
goons plunged and reared, and men shouted,
women screamed, and children crawled out
miraeulously unharmed, from beneath the
heels of the steeds. But at last the an
nouneement from the house-top proved to
be true, and the whistle Of the flag adorned
locomotive was heard sounding as It rapidly
approached the platform.
Upon the stoppage of the train, Mr.. Lin
coin descended from his car, leaning upon
the arms of two gentlemen, and bowing as-
knowledgmentst to the repeated cheers Of the
vast assemblage, proceeded to the carriage
provided for him.
