Abraham Lincoln Mt Washington.

WAsHIEeToE, February 23.-General Scott
returned Mr.. Lincoln's call at three o. clock
P. NJ, and was warmly greeted.
At four O'Clock, the Illinois delegation
without respect to party, headed by Senator
Douglas, called upon Mr.. Lincoln, and paid
their respects.
The meeting was less formal perhaps than
would be the case at ON interview with any
other delegation, from the fact that they
were all friends and acquaintances before,
The interview between Mr.. Lincoln and Mr..
Douglas was peculiarly pleasant.
Among the callers on Mr.. Lincoln, this
evening, werethe venerable Frank Blair, and
his son, Montgomery Blair.
At six o'clock, DR.. Puelsto, Secretary of
the Peace Congress, presented a commuui-
cation to Mr.. Lincoln, announcing that the
members of the Congress were anxious to
pay their respects to Mr.. Lincoln, and re-
quested the latter to name the time he could
receive them. Mr.. Lincoln replied he
would be happy to receive them at nine
o'clock.
At seven o'clock, Mr.. Lincoln left his hotel
and proceeded in a carriage to the residence
of Mr.. Seward, with whom he dined. AT
nine o'clock, Mr.. Lincoln received the Peace
Congress.
Governor Chase, of Ohio, introduced Mr..
Tyler. Mr.. Lincoln received him with all
the respect due his position. Several dele
gates were then presented to Mr.. Lincoln by
Governor Chase, in the usual manner.

AMUSING INCIDENT AT A SOUTHERN THEA
TER-The Montgomery (Ala.) correspondent
of the Charleston Courier relates the follow
ing incident, which occurred at the Mont
gomery Theater few nights since;
Quite an amusing incident occurred at the
Theater last evening. Miss Mitchell was
performing The Wept Of the WiSh-ton- Wish,
in one of the scenes of which it is necessary
to introduce a young child. This was ac-
cordingly done, and said infantile production
regaled the audience with series of operate
screams, in consequence of which the curtain
was dropped and the audience left in doubt
as to whether it was the child or the actors
who failed in their parts.
To settle their minds upon this point, and
to apologize for the interruption, one of the
Indians, clothed with all the toggery of the
savage, but who was evidently very modest
novice of the stage, came in front of the
green drop and innocently delivered himself
of the following speech:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: We must ask
your indulgence for few moments as the
! child we had in the last act disturbed the
play, and we have to delay the second act
until we can get another child"
! 1t is needless for me to say that the effect
| was terrific

MEMPHIS, TENN, February 25.-The re-
turns from Arkansas are favorable for hold
ing a Convention. Thus far thirty Seces-
sionists, twenty. four Conditional Secession
lists and between fifteen and twenty Submis-
sionists are elected.
VAN BUREN, February 25.-Arkansas is
confidently believed to have gone largely
against Secession. The West and North
west, as far as heard from, are nearly unani-
nous. She is for cooperation with the
Border slave States.
FoRT SMITH, February 25.-Returns from
ten counties in Southern Arkansas show
majority for a Convention and Secession
candidates. 1t is conceded that the majority
for Convention will be between 1000 an(
5000.

A New FRENCH BoN-BoN.-A new bon
bon has been produced in Paris. 1t consists
of an eatable bouquet, whichis neither more
nor less than bunch of real flowers covered
while the flowers are on the bush. The in
genious inventor is reported to have sent q
bouquet of violets, prepared in this way, to
the Princess Clothilde. The delicious odor
and brilliant tints of the flowers are pre-
served, and when the fair possessor is tired
of gazing upon it, she has still left a feast fiji
for a Hebe. 1t is said that no bon bon as yet
produced can equal in delicacy this fora
tit bit. Roses are prepared in the same
manner. The effect on them is peculiarly
beautiful, the sugar sparkling like dew aftel

DIsGRAcEFUL FREE. LovEIsM IN NEW En-
GLAND Church members InVolved and En-
posed.--The Taunton (Mass.) Gazette un-
masks one Captain Eleazer Small, formerly
of Providence, R. l., but for the last two
years resident of that town, who, under the
guise of great religious professions, was ad-
mitted to the Baptist Church, appointed City
Missionary, and recognized as the leader of
Mission School, which was established es-
pecially for the purpose of allowing Captain
S. wider field of labor, he having used his
fsh-market (being dealer in fish) for re-
ligious meetings. He had wife and two
children. .
On Saturday, in presence of several men,
bers of the Baptist Church, and also the pas
tor, Mrs. Gilmore confessed to repeated and
wanton lascivious intercourse with Small
beginning as far back as the Summer of 1858
and continuing through the Fall and Winter
of that year, and also at times since.
An awful scene took place when the reve-
I lation was made to the injured husband
Crazed, as it were, and stung almost to mad
ness at the inidelity of his previously.
beloved wife, he paced the house like 9
maniac, and undoubtedly was finally pre-.
vented from doing the most reckless deed!

Another Theatrical War in the East.

Laura Keene, says the Philadelphia Ledger,
appears 10 delight in the law, for, no sooner
does manager in any other city produce q
new play, than Laura claims it as hers, and
demands damages from the manager for
producing it. Manager Wheatley, some time
ago, had tussle at law with Laura. How
it ended we never could understand, though
we read the Judges charge over and over,
for the purpose of comprehendiDg it. Re-
Gently, in Boston, Manager Kimball has been
served with q process for an alleged violation
of Lauras copyright. The manager, we
hear, denies that there is any such person as
Laura Keene, and waits for the proof Now,
Manager MeDonough receives a little billet.
doiI that he is an infringer upon Laura's
rights, in performing The Ssven Sisters,
without her permission and without COM
pensation.
The SeVen Sisters is German play, called
Satan and His Daughters, which has been
adapted by a dramatist attached 10 Miss
Keene's Theater for a New York locality.
Mr.. McDonough has taken the same German
play, and dramatist in his employment has
adapted it to Philadelphia. The scenes here
are all localized the songs, puns, jokes, &C.,
are original, most of them Mr.. McDonough's s
own production, and every night there is a
variation in the scenes words, songs &c.
We hear that his play enjoys copyright pro-
lection.
In this position of affairs, it will probably
puzzle Philadelphia lawyer, whose mental
perplexity may be also communicated to a
Philadelphia judge, to determine satisfac-
torily who has the best right to the play,
who ought to pay damages, and whether toe
dramatic Dutchman, who originally pro-
duced it, and who rights appear to be
entirely ignored, probably because he is q
Dutchman, may not have claim upon both

ABRAHAM LINooLN's RELATIvEs.-Mrs.
Abraham Lincoln, wife of the President of
the old Union, has two married sisters now
on a visit to Montgomery, Alabama. One is
from Kentucky, and on visit to her sister,
who resides in Selma, Alabama. They are
both Secessionists, and opposed to the gov
ernment of their brother-in law, Abraham
Lincoln. OF course, they attract considera-
BILE attention, and are the toast of Southern
ers. The husband of one has offered his
services to Governor Moore, of Alabama, to
further the cause of Secession and State
rights, and republican liberty.

Comparison Between the Northern and
Southern Confederacy and the Chief
Executive Oflcers.
The New Orleans Crescent contrasts the
condition of the two Confederacies:
This, then, is the contrast between the two
Governments. The one, though just going
into operation, has about it all the elements
of strength, vitality aad perpetdity, and en-
Jews the unbounded confidence and respect
of the whole people. The other is broken
down, demoralized and bankrupt, at the
Threshold of new Administration and its
people, far from being loyal and satisfied,
are, a large portion of them, discontented
and in active opposition to the ruling powers.
1t requires no prophetic vision to foresee
the future of the two republics. Relieved of
the incubus of the Northern States, the South
will bound forward, gaining strength and
power at every step. The North, to say the
least, has comparatively few of the elements
to progress. Her safety and her prosperity
were associated with the old Union. 1t will
not take her long to discover and bemoau
her folly and madness in compelling the
South to seek repose and security in an indie.
pendent Confederacy.
The following contrast, drawn by th'
Mobile (Alsbama) AdVsrtiSer, is between tht
President of the North and of the Confederat,
Republic:

The new Confederacy starts into bein
with full-grown men at the helm-men i
courage, in sagacity, in intellect, in states

confidence and command respect. JEFF. Davi

Lincoln and Hamlin merely negative. Th
