Attempted Assassination.

Mr.. Van Wyck, republican member Of
Congress from New York, was attacked by
three rufiians on Thursday night Of last
week. He was stabbed twice with heavy
knife, first in the breast, but was saved from
harm by memorandum book in his pocket.
The other blow he warded of with his hand
which was cut severely. Mr.. Van Wyck
made vigorous resistance during which he
Knocked down one of the ruflians, and in
turn was himself Knocked down with a
cudgel by the third rascal, but recovering,
be drnw his pistol and shot at one of his as
sailanis, and thinks the shot took effect, as
the party Immediately retreated. He then
went 10 his hotel in weak but not danger
GUS condition. 1t is greatly to be regretted
that he could not have killed all three of
the assassins on the spot.
Mr.. Van Wyck speaks straight cut on
the slavery question and secession, has re-
ceived many letters threatening his life,
and there is no doubt that this was the oc-
casion Of the muiderous attack. What a
beautiful government we live under! We
wish most sincerely that the prospect was
more encouraging that we would finally get
rid of the entire slave holding part of this
Union.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT UroN Mr.. LIN

makes this statement
1--WE have been informed by gentlemen
connected with the party of Mr.. Lincoln
since he left home for Washington, that
there were several attempts to take his life
made during the journey through Indiana
and Ohio. The one which threatened the
most serious consequences took place on the
presidential train leaving Cincinnati when
a grenade of the most destructive character
was discovered in the car occupied by Mr..
Lincoln, his family and personal friends. 1t
was found in small carpet bag, which had
been deposited in seat Of the car by some
unknown person. Attention was drawn to
it from the fact that no baggage was allow
ed in the ears. On examination the gre
made concealed in the carpet bag was dis
covered to be ignited, and so arranged that
Within fifteen minutes il would have explod-
ed with force sufficient TO have demolish-
ed the car and destroyed the lives of all
persons in it. OF course the internal ma
chine was speedily removed and properly
disposed Of"

Mr.. LINcoLN's DoINGs AND PURPOSES.
The president elect visited the Senate and
House on Monday Afternoon, in company
with Mr.. Seward. Considerable stir was
occasioned many members crowded around
to welcome him, especially in the House.
He remained but few minutes, and after
wards visited the justices of the supreme
court in their constitution room.
Mr.. Breckiuridge called on Mr.. Lincoln
Sunday evening. Gen. Cass called Mon
day morning, in company with Mr.. Seward,
and paid his respects to the president elect.
The veteran wept when speaking Of the con-
dilion of the country.
After Mr.. Cass withdrew, Mr.. Lincoln
was closeted with Mr.. Seward. While they
we're thus occupied, Horace Greeley called
to see the new president, and was answered
that he was engaged.
Mr.. Lincoln moves freely about at Will
lard's Hotel, and was in the parlor for some
time Sunday night conversing freely with
all. Two policemen are stationed in the
hall near the door of his apartments, as is
always the case when distinguished visitors
are at the hotel. No guards are posted,
and no danger is apprehended.

MIR. Lincoln, In WashinSton-PiOt
to ASSaSSiuIte him,

The tour of the President elect was
suddenly brought to a close on Friday last,
by the timely discovery Of plot to kill
Mr.. Lincoln. The deed was TO have been
done either before he arrived at Baltimore,
or in that city according to circumstance.
We copy the following from the New York
Times:
Abraham Lincoln, the President elect
of the United States, is safe in the capital
of the nation. BY the admirable arrange
ment of General Scott, the country has
been spared the lasting disgrace, which
would have been fastened indeliby upon it
had MIR. Lincoln been murdered upon his
journey thither as he would have been had
he followed the program as announced ia
the papers, and gone by the Northern CEN
trail railroad TO Baltimore.
On Thursday night after he had retired,
Mr.. Lincoln was aroused and informed
that stranger desired 10 see him on a mat
ter Of life and death. He declined TO admit
him unless he gave his name, which he at
once did. Such psestige did the name
carry that while Mr.. Lincoln, was yet dis
robed he granted an itervew to the caller.
A prolonged conversation ELECTED the fact
that an organized body of men had deter
mined thai Mr.. Lincoln should not be in
augurated, and that he should never leave
the city of Baltimore alive, if indeed, he
ever entered it. The list of names of the
conspirators presented most astonishing
array ofpersons high in southern confidence,
and some whose fame is not to this country
alone. Statesmen laid the plan, bankers
endorsed it, and adventures we're to carry
it into effect. As they understood Mr..
Lincoln, was TO leave Harrisburg at nine
o'clock this morning by special train, and
the idea was, if possible, TO throw the cars
from the road at some point where they
could rush down steep embankment and
destroy in a moment the lives of all on board
In case of the failure of this project, their
plan was to surround the carriage on the
way from depot to depot in Baltimore ant
assassinate him with dagger or pistol shot
So authentic was the source from which
the informetion was obtained, that Mr.. Lin
coin, after counseling with his friends, wa
compelled 10 make arrangements which
would enable him TO subyert the plans o
his enemies. Mr.. Lincoln did not want L
yield, aud Col. Sumner, actually cried will
Indignation but Mrs. Lincoln, seconded b,
Mr.. Judd aud Mr.. Lincoln's original inform
ant, insisted upon it, and at 9 o'clock Mr.
Lincoln left on special train. He wore
Scotch plaid cap and very long military
cloak, so that he was entirely uurecognizablt
Accompanied by Superintendent Lewis an,
one friend, he started, while all the town
sish the exception of Mrs. Lincoln, Co
Sumner, Mr.. Judd, and two reporters, VIII
we're sworn TO secrecy, supposed him to b
asleep. The telegraph wires were put be
yond the reach of any one who might dc
sire 10 use them. At o'clock the fact wa
whispered from one to another, and it 500
became the theme Of most excited CONVEX
sa;ion.

Gen. Scott is quietly receiving informa-
ton from all the army stations in the Union,
which will enable him to select the proper
officers and men for emergencies or impor-
tant positions, The troops he has assem-
bled at Washington, and the officers who
command them, had been privately tested,
unknown to themselves, before being sum
moned to the national capital and the fact
that not single resignation or mutinous
act is recorded, shows with what accuracy
the movements were MANAGED.

message announced the formation of con-
spiraty to take the life of the president
elect, which was confirmed by Philadcl-
phia police detective, who had obtained
some knowledge of the facts of the case.
They urged Mr.. Lincoln to anticipate this
conspiracy by sudden aud secret journey
10 Washington, and after considerable dis
dussion he reluctantly consented. He was
not disguised with cap and cloak as has
been asserted. In this respect the story is
untrue.

A letter from Abbeville, Ala, states that

consisted in calling Toombs traitor and
the secessionists thieves and robbers, which
was too true to be submitted to. The Wig.
ilants took his horse and buggy and $3.50
in money.
