LupIcRous INCIDENT.

The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, in
its account of Mr.. Liacola's reception in
that city, gives the following incident
tia. happened on Sunday. in front OF the
American Hotel, just before Mr.. and Mrs.
Lincoln left in Ex-Ptesidens Filimore's
carriage for church:
A worthy citizen, whom We will name as
Mr.. Shep!ev. who is near sighted. and don't
wear glasses, had called on the President
the night previous. and had passed more
than the usual simple greetings. Mr.. s.,
happening to PASS by while the carriage
continuing Mr.. Lincoln and Mrs. Fillmore
was waiting. while Mr.. F. ad gone in for
Mrs. L.. made some remarks to Mrs. T. on
the sickness of some mutual friend, when
the lady, rather shocked ut ms apparent
ignoraace of the presence OF tue fresiueht,
said. ..Mr. s. allow me TO introduce TO you,
Mr.. Liucoin.' Mr.. s.. with proper courtesy,
turned graciously TO be introduced 10
any acquaintance of Mrs. f.-out from
some queer concentration OF idea-possibly
from having recently read falstai' 5 aiiusion
to the men in L,ucoln sreen-or from ms
near-sie hsedness, did not recognize Mr. L.,
and understood Mrs. T. TO have named her
guest as 1Ir. Green. "Iiow do you do,
Mr. Green - said Mr.. S. ''Very well, said
Mr.. L., II believe had the pleasure OF
meeting YOU last night Nj. s., who is
rather ii ma,ter-o fact sort of man. replied
tha, he did not recolect him, and after
few more remarks to Mrs. Fillmore, quietly
left her and the supposed Mr. Green, to
learn what a breach of etiquette his neglect
to wear good glasses had caused him to
make.

THE ROMANCE OF LAW.

One Of the most remarkable cases-re-
markable rs to the amount invol ed, the
difficulties attending its prosecution, the
perseverance aud heroism displayed by the
party most largely concerned-was decided
bv the Supreme Court of the United States,
Yesterday. We of course allu1e to the cell
ebrated suit of Mrs. Myra Gaines, relict Of
the late Gen. Gaines, for the recovery Of the
property belonging to the estate of her ia
ther, Daniel Clark. The case turned upon
the legitimacy of the plaintiff, and the
cxtraor lInary qualities exhibited by her
throughout the trying ordeal through which
she has passed in prosecuting it to sue
cessful and triumphant conclusion, demon
strated long ago that she was nerved rather
by Il sense OF honor and an uadying devo-
ton to the memory Of her mother, than by
Il desire to gain possession OF the prDceiy
wealth to which the decision entities her.
The history # the case is too familiar to
our readers to render it necessary to re-
count the facts on which it rested. 1t is
enough to say that in the elements Of ro-
nance and womanly heroism, the jurispru-
dcnce OF no country presents parallel to 1t.
Thousands upon thousands who have never
seen Mrs Games. will rejoice on account of
her triumph, to achieve which she has devo-
ted all her energies for, We believe, nearly
Il quarter of a century.
But the favor of romance in which this
case is embalmed does not cease with the
decision which has just been rendered. The
estate involved is s,uatt d within the State
Of Louisana-most, perhaps all of it, in
New Orleans. Louisiana claims to have
withdrawn from the Union. Ii she should
succeed in maintaining that claim, it is not
very probable that the order of the Su-
prcme Court to place Mrs. Gaines in posses
sion Of her property. vii. be obeycd. And
here the question of scces, ion comes up in
new shape. Will the Government enforce
the DEGREES Of the United States courts in
the seeding Sta es? If so, will State soy
crcignty intervene to prevent Mrs. Gaines
from the enjoyment of her weliwon rights?
Will Mrs. Gaines, as II last resort, begin de
moro in the courts of he New Confederacy?
Arc we not correct in styling this case "The

The Position at Manassas.

After tremendous fighting. against
great odds. at the Bulls Run batteries,
and immense slaughter-in which our
troops behaved with the utmost enthusi-
asm-the centre seems to have been taken
with sudden panic, such as sometimes
has taken the best troopS-such for in
stance, as the French we're taken with at
Solferino--and retreated in disorder. De-
prived of the support Of the center the
wings were compelled to retreat. 1t is
probable that our troops in the advance
we're disheasted by the knowledge which
the became impressed on them that the
Confederates outnuhbered them two to
one. aud by their impreguable entrsuch-
ments, the character of which they had
seen at Bulls Run.
The weekly Lancaster gazette. (Lancaster, Ohio) 1860-1863, 1861-07-25

y
%When the news Of our reverse al
Bulls Run reached this community. our
people were yet rejoicing over the magni'
6Oent triumph of our army in the early
part Of the day. Joy and satisfaction were
depicted on the oountenAnces ofall,save a
little batch Of traitors who seemed de-
pressed. The terrible aud disastrous re-
verse fell like thunderbolt and SORROW
and gloom and depressio:,, filed the hearts
of the loyal, but the traitors secretly, and
some of them openly rejoiced.
The sentiment that moved the loyal
was not wholly one of depression. There
was mixed with 1t feeling of deep deter
mination--high and holy resolve. The
spirit of '76 was abroad; "let the war be
waged In earnest" "let treason be crush.
ed if it cost million lives and the sacri-
fee Of every dollars worth Of property in
the NORTH" was the sentiment.
Our people were not alone in this de.
termination. Every where throughout
the length and breadth Of The loyal States
the same spirit prevailed. The grand
uprising that followed the fall Of Sumter,
has its counterpart in the one that fol.
lows the defeat al Manassas. 1t is mark.
ed by redouGled efforts on the part of the
powers at Washington and redoubied en-.
ergy on the part Of the people. Millions
of money and hundreds Of thousands oI
men have been rendered and this time
the Government has had the good sense
to accept them. Already the grand army
has been swollen by tens Of thousands,
and before ten days has passed it will be
numbered by hundreds OF thousands.-
Before 80 days have expired the disgrace
Of Manassas will have been wiped out and
treason will be driven from the face o.
Virginia as the storm cloud drives tbe
waves of the sea.
