President Lincoln and Cen. McClel.
Lam Among the Rebel Prisoners.

Frank b. Wilkie, the Washington cor
respondent of the Chicago Times, gives
the following incident which TRANSFERRED
during the late trip Of President Lincoln
to the Army Of the Potomac, and vouches
for its truth:
After leaving Gen. Richardson, the
party passed on until we reached barn
near ten. Rs quarters, in which were
large number of Confederate Wounded
Seeing some wounded men grouped around
the fences in the vicinity, and learning
their character, the President remarked
TO Gen. Mcclellan that he would like to
visit the interior Of the building. The
cavalcade Immediately halted, and the
whole party entered the hospital, where a
scene was presented such Us is always
found where a great number Of wounded
are gathered.
After looking around him for few
moments, Mr. Lincoln said to some of the
Coniederates that, if they had no objec-
ton, he would be pleased to take them by
the hand that the solemn obligations we
owe to cur country and posteEi,y compel
the prosecution Of this war that many
on both sides mnst necessarily become
victims but, although they 1.-THE wounded
Confederates) were our enemies by cir
cumstances that are now uncomfortable,
he bore them no malice, and could take
them by the hand with as mach feeling
and sympathy as if they were brothers.
tter this, all of the wounded Cunfed.
crates who could walk and who had lis
tened il silence to the remarks, Of Mr..
Lincoln, came forward, and, with down
east countenanoes, took silently, bat fer.
vsntly, each in his turn, the hand of the
Chief Magistrate of our nation. When
all had come forward, the President aud
Gen. Mcclellan passed on the places Of
those who were unable to walk and here
the CommanderiA Chief Of our army and
navy and the Hero of Antetam kaeit
dorm beside tie unfortunste rebel suffer
ers, smoo;hed their dchiny temples, cheered
them in their affections, ruth words Of
comfort, babe them be Of good cheer, and
assured them that erery possible care
should be giren them 10 ameli0rats their
condition.
" 1t was a most touching scene. The
noble little General WAS as tender in his
consultations as girl, rs also was the
President. During the impressive scene
there was not a single dry eye among all
the lockers on, either Federal or Confed.

Abolition as Viewed by the New
York Tribune in S4A.

We copy the following arguments from
a campaign eIectioneering tract issued BY
Greeley and McEIrath, from the Tribune
office, New, in 1914. Current events, in
great measure, produced by that very
paper, since it changed its ground. are
establishing the truth and force Of this
reasoning in a striking manner. The
same paper noc would pronounce such
arguments "heason,' or at leas, an ev.
dence of "sympathy with the rebels" if
they were put forth by Democratic paper:
We are not fond Of alarming topics, nor
disposed to excite unnecessary anxiety
