H. w. Beecher in England.

The following letter. describing Mr..
Beecher's reception upon his first public
appearance in England, is from the New g
Y ork Independent: % ab7sl
LIvERPooL, Oct 10, 1868.
Mr.. Beecher fairly astonished the natives
in Manchester last night. I have never
seen an audience so completely carried away.
so uproariouslv enthusiastic. The meeting
was held in Free Trade Han, which will
hold 1000, and was packed to overfowing.
Southern sympathizers had made desperate
efforts to prevent it. The Mayor had been
appealed to, and assured that riot and blood
shed would occur il the meeting were to be
permitted; and, as a last resort, placards
were posted about the streets, warning the
people of the danger, and advising all to
keep away. t
The result was as have stated-a SPLEEN
did audience of 1000 persons, in which,
however, at the far end of the gallery, were
packed about Hundred Southern rowdies,
and their Interruptions did good by giving
Mr.. Beeoher breathing time, and showing
to the people the quality Of the opposition.
When the meeting broke up there was
perfect rush for the platform the women
{ God bless Me0e!) seemed perfectly wild to-
grasp Mr.. Beecher's hand, and believe
some of them actually climbed over mems
heads to get on the platform. As it was
evident if he remained he would be shaken
to pieces, few strong men grasped him
and carried him bodily off the stage, but
in doing this they had to pass under part
of the gallery, and in an instant shouts
were raised, 'Pass him up here, ''-"It's
our turn now ETC., etc. Some jumped
over to the outside, and, reaching down,
managed to get shake; others reached
their umbrellas down and took their shake
through them. He was got off at last and
into the committee room, which was in
stantly filled and the door fastened. After
a while we got off in a cab, amidst the
hearty cheering of a large crowd outside Of
the house.
So passed off Mr.. Beecher's first public
appearance in England. His speech was
perfect success-he was himself, and l
could see he felt that his audience was with
him. Tie looked splendidly-the old FIRE,
the old earnestness, and bursts of enthusi-
asm, were all there. Nor was it the worst
part of the meeting to hear the remarks
around US when he made his appearances
"splendid looking fellow, ''-"he's not man
to be put down here tonight, "-"young,
amt he ?''-' about forty, ''-''oh, not so
old as that" etc., etc., etc. A secessionist
set on the seat with us, and, during the
lecture. was disposed to make some talk,
until lady in front turned round and quiet
ly told him if he did not "shut up she
would shove her umbrella down his throatl
That choked him off.
Mr.. B. is now with us, and breaches to-
morrow in Dr.Raff1es' church. Tuesday
he speaks in Glasgow, Wednesday in Edin-
burgh, and on Friday here.

The sieres of society.

Beware of oozy headed people, between
whose ears and mouth there is no partition.
Before you make a bosom friend of any
man, be sure he is seoret-tight. The mis-
chief that the non-retentive do is infinite.
In social life they often set whole commune
ties by the ears, frequently break up fauni
lies, and are the cause Of numerous misfor-
tunes, miseries and crimes. In business.
they spoil many promising speculation,
and involve hundreds in bankruptcy and
ruin. Therefore be very careful to whom
you intrust information of vital Importance
to your own happiness, to the interests of
those you hold dear. Every man. has a
natural inclination to communicate what he
knows; and if he does not do SO. it is be-
cause his reason and judgement are strong
enough to correct his inherent propensity.
When you find friend who has absolute
power over the communicative instnct-if
we may so term it-wear him in your heart,
Ifyou have no such friend, keep your own
counsel. axis =

DISTRACTIONS TO GEN. scHoF1ELD.-

[Copy.l
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. l, 1865
Gen. John Fl. ISchofeld:
There is no organized military force in
avowed opposition to the General Govern
ment now in Missouri; and if shy such
shall re-appear, your duty in regard to it
will be too plain to require any special in
struction. Still, the condition of things,
both there and elsewhere, is such as to rem
der it indispensable to maintain. for a time.
the United States military establishment in
that State, as well as to rely upon it for a
fair contribution of support to that re es-
Enlistment generally. Your immediate
duty in regard to Missouri now is to adj
vance the efficiency of that establishment,
and SO to use it, as far as practicable, to
compel the excited people there to leave one
another alone.
Under your recent order, which I have
approved, you will only arrest individuals,
and suppress assemblies and newspapers
when they may be working palpable injury
to the military in your charge, and in no
other case will you interfere with the ex-
preston of opinion in any form, or allow it
to be interfered with violently by others.
with great caution, calmness and fobear
ance.
With the matters of removing the inbab-
itants of certain counties en- masse, and of
removing certain individuals from time to
time, who are supposed to be mischievous,
am not now interfering, but am leaving to
your own discretion.
Nor am l interfering with what may still
seem to you to be necessary restrictions
upon trade and intercourse. think proper,
however, to eujoin upon you the following:
Allow no part of the military under your
command to be engaged in either returning
fugitive slaves. or in forcing or enticing
slaves from their homes; and, so far as
practicable, enforce the same forbearance
upon the people.
Report to me your opinion upon the avail
ability for good of the Enrolled Militia of
the State. Allow no one to enlist colored
troops, except upon orders from you, or
from here through you.
Allow no one to assume the functions OF
confiscating property under the law of Con-
gross, or otherwise, except upon orders from
here.
AT elections see that those, and only those,
are allowed to vote who are entitled to do so
by the laws of Missouri, including as OF
those laws the restriction laid by the Mis-
souri, Convention upon those who may have
participated in the rebellion.
So far as practicable, you will by means
of your military force, expel guerillas, ma
RAIDERS and murderers, and all who are
konwn to harbor, aid or abet them But in
like manner you will repress assumptions
of unauthorized individuals to perform the
same service, because, under the pretense
of doing this, they become marauders and
murderers themselves.
To now rae'o~o Oeqce. let the military
obey orders, aud those not of the military
leave each other alone, thus not breaking
the peace themselves.
In giving the above directions, it is not
intended to restrain you in other expedient
and necessary matters not falling within
their range.
Your obedient servant,
A. LINCOLN

A Compliment for President Lincoln

A Compliment for President Lincoln.
The Liverpool Post of Oct. 1st thus speaks
of Mr.. Lincoln
Yeta worshiper of human heroes might
possibly travel great deal farther and fare
much worse for an idol than in selecting this
same lankey American-the personifcation
of free soil principles-the representative of
the idea that slavery without being forcibly
interfered with, must not be allowed to
spread itself over the North American con-
tinent-and the impersonation also of the
victory of that idea-a victory, which as it
were stands on the defensive against those
who would turn it into a defeat
Absolute truth, stern resolution, clear in
sight, solemn faithfulness, courage that can
not be daunted, hopefulness that canot be
dashed-these are qualities that 90 a long
way to make up hero, whatever side the
possessor of them may take In any lawful
conflict. And it would not be easy to dispute
Mr.. Lincoln's claim to all these. He has
never given up good servant or a sound
principle. He has never shut his eyes to
facts or remained in ignorance of them. He
has never hesitated in doing his work or
faltered in doiFg it.
No resolution has remained IN zu5ibus
with him because it was a strong one. No
measure has been adopted merely because
Something must be done The exigen-
cies of fauatical war have never betrayed
him into fanaticism, and the sharp stings
of satire have never drawn from him an
exclamation of ill-humor or even an impru-
dent rejoinder.
