correspondent Of the Cincinnati Com
mercial who was with the President on the
occasion of his recent visit to Frederick, Md,
tells the following incident: After leaving
Gen. Richardson, the party passed house in
which was large number of confederate
wounded. BY request of the President the
party alighted and entered the building Mr.
Lincoln, after looking, remarked to the woun-
ded confederates. that if they had no obec-
ton, he would be pleased 20 take them by
the hand He said the solemn obligations
which we owe to our country and posterity
compel the prosecution of this war, and il
followed that many were our enemies through
uncomfortable circumstances, and he bore
them no malice, and could take them by the
hand with sympathy and good feeling. After
a short silence the eonfederates came forward,
and each silently, but fervently shook the
hand of the President. Mr. Lincoln and Gen.
Mcclellan then walked forward by the side of
thoee who were wounded too severely to be
able to rise, and babe them be of good cheer !;
assuring them that every possible care should
be bestowed upon them to amelorate their
condition. II was moving scene, and there
was not dry eye in the building, either
among the nationals or coniederates. Both
the President and Mcclellan were kind in
their remarks and treatment of the rebel suf-
ferers during this remarkable interview"
In reply to an invitation TO be present at
mass meeting held in Chicago on Sept 81,
to indorse the Presidents proclamation, Ma
jor-Gen. Sigel wrote: "As | have tried to
do my best in the defense of republican prin-
ciples and for the emancipation Of the OPP

the liberal acts of the Government of this re-
public which is the only great and strong
bnlwark against the aggressive powers Of
native and foreign aristocracy and despot-
ism"
~ The Inauguration OF the rebel Govern
or Of Kentucky, at Frankfort, is described as
"a very ludicrou' affair. The capital at the
/ time was crowded with the drunken soldiers,
and the ceremony which lasted some ten min

than hours after it took place the new pro-
visional government skedaddled to parts I'M
known, being impelled by military necessity >

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.
A special dispatch from Cairo confirms
the report that Gen Grant has fallen back
to the north side of the Tallahatehie river
The main body of the army was several
days ago at Holly Springs.
1t is supposed that Gen. Grant will open
the Memphis and Charleston railroad to
Grand Junction and make Memphis his
base Of supplies.
A report has reached Memphis that a
heavy Federal force has aseended the
river from New Orleans, the naval portion
being under Rear Admiral Farragut; that
Fort Hudson had fallen into the hands of
the Federals and that the feet had reached
point twelve miles below Yicksburg
This reported advance is confirmed by the
Vicksburg Whig of the 18th.

TRAINS LECTURE lecture Of George
Francis Train, at Brainard's Hall, last eve
ming, drew an immense audience. The Hall
vas crowded, above. below, and on the stage.
There was scarcely any standing room left
in any part of the Hall. To say that he
failed to interest the very large audience as
ssmbled to hear him would be an untruth,
for he held them for over two hours, and was
ssked to go on a number of times by unan-
inous voice, when be attempted to stop.
Mr.. Train is not an ordinary individual,
by any manner of means. He possesses, in a
remarkable degree, the brilliancy of cOncep-
ton and Of expression, the wonderful volu-
bility and the surprising dramatic power of
John B. Cough. To talk is as natural to him
as swimming is to a duck, and it is not absO-
1utely necessary that he have anything in
particular to talk about either. AS he says
himself, in one of his egOtistical fights,
which are not unfrequent, he can
salk about anything any person in the audi
enee sees fit to propose. He may spun logic,
ignore established facts, and wander from
one theme to another with manifest irrele-
Taney, yet he is interesting, for he spices his
lecture with seiztiIIa+iarz of zrif zzhiah dazzle
50 much as to patch up all inequalities and
spaces.
His egOtism, we think, is much oft affected.
We look upon him simply as a speculatOr in
the lecture 6eld. he found it pretty thorough
" trod By modest leeturers-those who
studiously avoid any mention Of self
and ignore the pronoun az" His orig
inal genius induced him to take the
opposite track, and to talk Of himself and
little else. The novelty of his extreme ego
tisn (afected, as we bslieve) amuses his Ru-
dienee while it cOnfOunds them, and George
Francis plays it so well that he becomes
hero where less expert player would meet
With 8 storm Of Kisses. Let some one at
empt 70 initiate him and see what q morti-
ting failure he will make Of it. Mr. Train

Senes--so much favor as to afford himinduI-

might have Jared differently. His idea Of
obtaining peace with the South by means Of
an srmistice, friendly eonfab between
George Francis Train and JEFF. Davis, and
the adoption of that fogyish proposition, the
