The Philadelphia Bulletin contains the
following, concerning the interview with
the President, of which very different &C.
count has been published in Baltimore:
We learn from gentleman who has just
returned from Washington, the particulars
of the interview, last Monday, between the
President and the Baltimore Committee.
He thus reports the precise nature of Mr..
Lincoln's expression on that occasion.
The Committee presented themselves be-
fore the President, and entered upon their
mission.
After some preliminary remarks, Mr..
Lincoln said
"Geutlemen, you have come here to ask
peace OF any terms. Such desire, on such
terms, are not like the course OF Washing
ton or Jackson. They (tbe rebels attacked
Fort Sumpter. You attack troops sent to
the federal government for the protection of
the same, and for the defence of the lives
and property of the inhabitants of this city.
My intention was never to attack Maryland,
but to have those troops, as said before,
for the protection of Washington.
"Now. gentlemen, 60 home and tell your
people that if they do not attack US, we
will not attack them. But if they do at,
tack Us, we will return it, and that severely.
These troops must come to Washington, ard
that throug b Maryland they can neither
60 under it, nor can they fly over it, and
they shall come through At.

Unexpected Talk from D. s. Dickins on

Hon. Daniel S. Dickinson made speech
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on Monday
evening, the chief points of which are en-
bodied in the following sketch from New
York paper, although it does not repro
duce the force and eoquence of Mr.. Dick
iuson's language /: He said that his hearers
would bear him witness that he had long
endeavored to stay the storm that has now
arisen, and to bring about some peaceful
settlement of affairs. But now the South,
first by seeding, and second by firing on
the old flag, has closed the door of recon.
ciliation. He was meeting them on their
own ground. He would have no halfway
measures, no compromises. Let US settle
this thing speedily and surely. 1t may ruin
this generation, but we owe it to the next
that they should have no such troubles as
we have had. He would strike now, in our
might, and if necessary wipe the South
from the face of the earth. He knew they
would have civil war and he would make
the prophecy that by the time this matter
was settled, the peculiar institution of the
South would be swept away. Let US finish
things while we are about it, and leave
nothing behind US.

Maryland will not Secede.

The news from Maryland during the past
few days has been very encouraging. The
House of Delegates has voted, without
division even, that it has no power to pass
an ordinance of secession. The National
Inteligencer says both Houses of the Mary.
land Legislature have passed resolutions
affirming the right of the General Govern
ment to march troops through Maryland
without bindrance, to defend Washington.
1t is even doubtful whether the Legislature
will call State Convention.

The European Governments and the
Southern Confederation.

Whatever Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS organs
may assert to the contrary, all the indica-
lions from the other side are against an
immediate recognition of the Southern Con-
federacy by England and France. The
Paris correspondent Of the London Globe
Lord Palmerston's paper states that the
French government had decided not to
receive the Southern Commissioners, whose
arrival was daily expected when the Asia
left. Southerners in Paris were obliged as
usual to apply to the United States Minis
ter for passports, as the French government
had made no concessions of any kind in
their regard. This would show that there
is but very little disposition at present on
the part of the Emperor to interfere in the
quarrel between the federal government
and the rebel States. The disinclination
will be increased when the news of the
Presidents war proclamation and of the firm
and united stand taken by the North reach.
es him. The question will then assume
light very different from that in which it
was placed by the dissensions which were
supposed to prevail amongst Northern men
in regard to it.
In the English Parliament, Mr.. GREGoRYs
motion, recommending prompt recognition
of the Montgomery government by Great
Britain, is threatened with powerful OPP
position. Mr.. G. FORSTER has given notice
of his intention to move an amendment,
postponing any opinion on the part of the
House of Commons in favor of such recog.
milton, and expressing hope that it will
never be made without security being taken
against the revival of the African slave trade
If this be adopted, the English Cabinet
will not venture to take any steps in the
matter during the present session, and tie
mission of the Southern Commissioners to
London, SO far as the present action of
England is concerned, will prove failure.

Enthusiastic Patriotism.

The amount of money contributed by
States, corporations, societies and indi-
viduals in the North, to aid the Government
in quelliDg the revolt, is estimated at thirty
two millions of dollars, up to this time.
This immense sum has been spontaneously
donated in less than eighteen days. What
contrast does this present to the action of
the people of the Rebel Confederacy! They
have been fifeing and drumming for three
months to raise a fifteen million loan, and
at the latest accounts only eight millions
had been taken, and that in deprecated
paper currency.

The Latest Foreign News.

Amid the excitement at home our peO-
pie ignore passing events of great impor.
lance in Europe. A brief summary is all
we can afford.
A report that President LINCOLN was
dead had been extensively circulated in
England. The London Times editori.
ally reiterates hopes for the mainte-
nance of peace in the United States, and
says when the soil and seas of the New
World are likely to be stained with blood,
foreign nations may surely demonstrate in
the cause of humanity.
Garibaldi has taken his seat in the Ital-
ian Parliament. Business was temporarily
suspended by the applause. The action of
the ministry in disbanding the Southern
army, and measures for re. organization,
were defeated. Garibaldi made speech
so violent that it excited a tumult 10 the
Chamber. He made offensive illusions to
the Ministry, against which Cavour pro-
tested. Garibaldi in resumiDg spoke with
more moderation. Cavour said he accept
ed words of Cancellation. Garibaldi de.
signated the French army as the enemy of
Italy because it occupied Rome.
His motion, expressing a want of conf.
dence in Cavour, and insisting on the organ
ization of the Southern army, was after
wards carried-ayes 1877, against 70.

Pennsylvania has raised seventeen regi-
ments, and sent them to Washington, or
holds them in camp, ready to march. The
President has just made requisition on
that State for twenty.one more regiments
making in all $4,000 men from the Key

US that 10000 men, in organized companies,

This State was called on for but one
regiment, although it contains four times

an efficient battery of flying artillery, has
been gotten up, and will accompany the
regiments.

The Illinois Legislature has passed bill
authorizing the Governor to accept the SER

ment of cavalry, and one battalion of light
artillery. They are to 60 into camp for
thirty days, and are to take an oath to ten

The Suffering Of the Saviour.
A SO n C a..

love the holy son OF God, .a.s. r. 1s
Who once this vale Of sorrow trod-
Who bore my sins a dreadful load,
On Calyary's gloomy mountain Z.
There on the cross he meurnful hung,
The sport Of many an impious tongue,
While pains extreme his nature rung,
And flowed life's crimson fountain.
The sun would not behold the scene,
But round him, threw nights sable screen;
Nature was robed IN morning mien,
And sighed when Jesus suffered
But o. his prosecutors stood,
That cruel, murderous, hellish brood
Unmoved 10 see his gushing blood
And scofing insults offered,
o. was there ever such distress,
Or such amazing proof as this,
or mercy, love, and tenderness, .a
As our Redeemer's given?
Not one of all the hosts above
Could comprehend the matchlsss love
That did within his bosom move.
And brought him down from heaven.
o! why did net his anger burn,
And floods OF vengeance on them turn;
Amazing, see his bowels yearn
With soft compassion DER them
No fury kindles in his eyes
They glow with love, and when he dies,
Father, forgive the sufferer cries,
And makes excuses for them.
How ardent ought my love to be,
For HIM who done so much for me?
Ny constant Saviour, faithful free,
And all my powers employing
] ought his cross with pleasure bear,
And place my all of glorying there,
In his reproach most gladly share,
In tribulation joYing. 2 Z
And never shall it be concealed,
He has in me his love revealed
OF all my sins pardon sealed;
/ feel his blessed favor
In Him do and will rejoice,
And PRAISE Him with cheerful voice,
Until the theme my tongue employs,
In Heaven above forever.

Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun al
home, good people! Don't shut up
your houses, lest the sun should fade
your carpets; and shake down some
some of the musty cobwebs there!
II you want to ruin your sons
let them think that all mirth and
social enjoyment must be left on the
threshold when they come home at
night. When once home is re-
garded as only place to eat, drink,
and sleep in, the work is begun that
ends In gambling houses and reck-
less degradation. Young men must
have fun and relaxation somewhere.
If they do not find it in their own
heartstones, it will be sought in 9TH
er, and perhaps, less profitable pla-
ces. Therefore, let the fire burn
brightly at night, and make the
home ever delightful with all those
little arts that parents SO perfectly
understand. Don't repress the
buoyant spirits ofyour children, half
an hour of merriment found the lamp
and freight of home blots out the
tie remembrance ofmany a care and
annoyance during the day, and the
best safeguard they can take with
them into the world is the unseen
influence of a bright little domestic
sanctum.

Kind Wsrds-Why Use Thorn.

LIST. Because they always cheer
him to whom they are addressed
They sooth him if he is wretehed.
They comfort him if he is sad
They keep him out of the slough oil
despond, or help him out if he hap
pens to be in.
ed. There are words enough OF
the opposite kind flying in all direc-
tions-sour words, cross words, fret
full words, insulting words, overbear-
ing words, irritating words. Not
let kind words have a chance to get
abroad, since SO many SO different
are on the wing.
Sd. Kind words bless him that
uses them. A sweet sound on the
tongue tends to make the heart mel
low. Kind words react upon the kind
feelings which prompted them, and
make them more kind. They add
fresh fuel to the fire of benevolent
emotion of the soul.
