FROM CINCINNATI TO COLUMBUS.
CoLUmRus o, Feb. 13-The trip was a very
agreeable one. The Presiden, elect although good
deal fatigued and slightly indisEosed, engaged al
most constantly in conversation. He is very de-
ghtiul iasker, aud his skill az story teller and

regard to the matter, he said il reminded him Of a
slspute that once occurred between his two younger
boys, Tom and Bill, pair of rnischevous rogues
Of eight and ten years. One Of them had toy
that the other wanted and demanded in terms en-
phatc and bosterors At length be was told to
let his brother have it in order &c quiet him. mo,

He appeared to think that The quiet Of the South
at the expense Of the quiet of the North did not
amount to much.

The General Assembly applauded, and interpreted
his speech to them-trust in G5d and keep your

Il is asserted by one of Mr. Lincoln's suite, that
Mrs. Lncolns arrangement for going to Washing

" To the Hon the Senator's ana Representatives Of the
