LINCoLN,s FIRST LEvEE.
Correspondence of the Missouri Democrat.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb. Z.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Feb. Z.
The first levee given by the President
elect, took place last evening at his res
idence, in this city, AND it was grand
outpouring of citizens and strangers, to-
gether with the members of the Legis-
Iature. Your humble servant was in
vited to attend. Mr. Lincoln threw
open his house for general reception of
all the people who felt disposed to give
him and his lady parting call, The
levee lasted from seven to twelve o'clock
in the evening, and the house was
thronged by thousands up to the latest
hour. Mr.. Lincoln received the guests
as they entered and were made known
They then passed ON, and were intro
duced to Mrs. Lincoln, who stood near
the center of the parlor, and who, I
must say, acquitted herself most grace
fully and admirably. She was dressed
plainly, but richly. She wore beauti-
full, full trail, white moire antiqe silk,
with small French lace collar. Her
neck was ornamented with string Of
pearls. Her head dress was simple
and delicate vine, arranged with much
taste.
She displayed but little jewelry, and
this was we'll and appropriate. She is
a lady of fne figure and accomplished
address, and is we'll calculated to grace
and to do honor at the White House
She was on this occasion accompanied
by four Of her sisters-Mrs. DR.. W. S.
Wallis, Mrs. G. NJ. Smith, of Springfield,
Mrs. Charles Kellogg, of Cincinnati, and
a Miss Todd, Of Kentucky. They,all ap-
peared to be extremely happy, and L
hope there will be nothing thrown in
their way to hinder them from expert
encing in full all the pleasures which
they now anticipate in coming events
l thought when looking upon the lovely
group of the Todd family, how proud
Old kentucky would have felt, if she
could have been present to witness the
position in which her own son and
daughters were placed.

From Dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette
SPRINGFIELD, Feb. II.
The day opened unfavorably, SO far
as regards the weather, but, notwith-
standing this drawback, a large number
of people assembled to witness the de-
parture Of the President elect. When
Mr.. Lincoln went on to the platform of
the ears, he turned and addressed few
words to the people, with most of whom
hc had individually exchanged farewells
in the passengerrooln. Sorrowfully, but
firmly, he said:
Ny Friends: One who has never been
placed in a like position, cannot under
stand my feelings at this hour; nor the
oppressive sadness feel at this parting
For more than twenty five years have
lived among you, and during all that
time l have received nothing but kind
ness at your hands. Here the most
cherished ties on earth were assumed
Here my children were borp, and here
one of them lies buried. -.-.

With these few words I must leave

In a few moments after Mr. Lincoln
concluded his remarks, the signal Wa,
given, and the cars moved off. Hence

eign imports, cheers, or even the
withdrawal of the mails from those por-
tions Of the country where the mails are
habitually violated, would any or all of,
these things be coercion? Applause,

lovers of the Union-those who have
spitefully resolved that they will contin

any State-understan that any or all
of these things would be the coercing
or invading of any State? Cries of
."No."l If they do, why, then, it occurs
to me that the means for the preserva:

high in their estimation, are of a. very
light and airy character. If sick, the

The Charleston correspondent of the
New Orleans Delta writes.4 of-5 SeaaH
We expect the bombardment to begin
before the close of, the present week.
It.will be an expensive. business for both
sides, beyond question. I understand
that our headers have determined on the
policy of worrying 'out Anderson gar

close easements, is a labor that must
certainly ~use up" his seventy men be-
fore long They will haves no relief,
while ourrbatteries canreasily be manned
every hour by. fresh troops, 1t is therer
fore probable that the bembardment will
be steadily kept up until Fort Sampter
lis silenced, from the sheer exhaustion
of the garrison. g It is possible that this
may occupy two,or three Days, but not
longer. The expense of this isscourse, as
I have said, will be enormous. Every
gun fired from Fort Sumpter costs, on
an average, thirteen dollars. Every gun
fred by the State will be an average ex-
penditure of nine dollars. A prominent
officer of Fort Moultrie informs me that,
by close calculation, it has been ascer-
tanned that when its batteries open, the
cost per diem to the State, at that fort
alone, will exceed $4,000. Pretty
heavy, that. But this is the surest way
Of mastering the fort, and we had better
spend money than lives in Its acquisi-
tion. E* tAS
