IN nl...t ofor,

How often doth thou, with thy case and habit,
Wrench awe from fools and tie the wiser souls
To thy false meaning" 3 VIZ ltt,l
'There's such divinity doth hedge
a" President in these days Of toad
eating todayism that an exhibition of
republican simplicity is indeed mar
vel, and 'the dear boy" who is the
happy recipient of such autographic
favors as are indicated in the follow
ing correspondence may well consider
himself achief among ten thous-
ands," if not, indeed, the one "alto-
gether lovely" in point of Presidential
honors among the Juveniles of the
great Valley of the Saginaw.
True there is something of an odor
Of royalty attached to this simple
action of that good man, Abraham, and
it is not little amazing that
IA man Of such . feeble temper should
So get the start Of the majestic world,
And bear1the palm alone"
But it is on that account a more
invaluable memento, and undoubtedly
of great intrinsic worth as limited at
by our illustrious M. O., who always
has an eye to to business:
A Letter Of President Lincoln to one Of
Boys OF the Saginaw Valley.
.EpIroRs ENTERPRISE An incident connected
with my family which 1 prize very highly OF
which give the history.
As La Roy @. briggs was starting for WASH
ington 70 act as a clerk for his father my son
Willie remarked: La Roy give my love to
the President, and tell him j have read bis life
meaning that he had read the "Pionser Boy"
q very interesting life Of Abraham Lincoln by
VIM. M. Thayer. Moth ing more was thought Of
tho remark until last Saturday, (February 20
when I received letter from the Hon. John y,
briggs, M. G. from this District inclosing an
autograph letter to my son Willie from tho Pres
ident. In sending the letter Mr. briggs writes
WASHINGTON CIrY, February %, 1864.
REV. w. q. SMiru--Dear Sir You will see
that In Roy has obtained an autograph letter
from the President 10 your son Willie. If his
original Eman 'ipation proclamation brought such
n great price, why should not this original letter
directed TO Willie tc valued by him as a memen-
10 from that good man? ! doubt not 1t will DO
rs few indeed can obtain such prizc. May 1t
inspire Willie to be as good and true pat
riot as he who wrote il.
Truly Yours, JOHN +. briggs.
From n letter which la Roy wrote TO my fam
lily, tho correspondence was obtained in this wise:
La Roy was introduced one evening to the Pres-
dents son Robert The next day Robert called
upon La Roy and invited him TO 90 with him and
see his father. After the introduction he cas-
ually reported my son Willie's message, when
tho President said, ''the dear boy-l will write
hin a letter." and turning around to the table
he wrote the following. have no doubt 1t did
him good to write It, and for the moment eased
him Of the heavy burdens which are resting upon
his shoulders.

This statement gives the county at
large credit of IL men, including all
the calls Of the President to the pres
ent time for recruits, drafted men who
entered the service in person, procur-
ed substitutes or paid computation
The credits for Veterans are yet being
perfected. it is impossible at the pres
ess time 10 give the correct figures.
East Saginaw courier., 1864-03-09

As the draft has been postponed, and
the large bounties continued until
April 1st would it not be well to
urge the people TO continue recruiting
as all surpluses win be credited upon
the next call ?
