ABRAHAM LINCOLN. - Mrs Harriet
Beecher Stowe is writing series of ar
ticles for the Christian Waterman and
Reflector, on Men of our Times" For
she speaks as follows of President Lin
coin -
"Little did the Convention that nomi-
mated Abraham Lincoln for President
know what they were doing Little did
the honest father!y, patriotic man, who
stood in his simplicity on the platform
at Springfield, asking the prayers of his
townsmen and receiving their pledges
to remember him, foresee how awfully
he was to need those prayers, the pray
ers Of all this nation and the prayers of
all the working, suffering common people
throughout the world Gods hand was
upon him with visible protection, saw
Ing first from the danger of assassina-
ton at Baltimore and bringing him safe
ly to our national capital.
Lincoln is strong man, but his
strength is Of a peculiar kind it is not
aggressive so much as passive, and
among passive things 1t is like the
strength not so much of stone but
tress, as of wire cable. It is strength
swaying to every influence, yielding on
this side and on that to popular needs,
yet tenaciously and infexibly bound to
carry its great end and probably by no
other kind of strength could our ma
tional ship have been drawn safely thus
far during the tossings and tempests
which beset her way.
Surrounded by all sorts Of conflicting
claims, by traitors, by halfhearted,
timid men, by border State men and free
State men, by radical abolitionists and
conservatives, he has listened to all,
weighed the words of all, waited, OBJ
served, yielded, now here and now there,
but in the main kept one infexible, hon
est purpose, and drawn the national ship
through.
In times of our trouble Abraham Lin
coin has had his turn of being the best
abused man of our nation. Like Moses
leading his Israel through the wilder
ness, he has seen the day when every
man seemed ready to stone him, and vet,
with simple, wiry, steady perseverance,
he has held on, conscious of honest in
tentions, and looking to God for help
All the patton have felt, In the incrpas
ing solemnity of his Proclamations and
papers, how deepan education was being
wrought in his mind by this simple faith
IN God, the Ruler of nations, and this
humble willingness to learn the awful
lessons of His Providence

SUPPLIES TO yIReINIANs. An army
correspondent of the Springfield Repub-
lican says:
Erroneous ideas have been prumul-
gated in regard to the extent of the
supplies furnished to the destitute in
habitants of Virginia under the trade
regulations of the Treasury Department.
The supplies will not be furnished be-
yond the limits of infantry occupation,
except in very few special cases. None
whatever will be furnished except by
permission and approval of Gen. Patrick
and none will be allowed when any
doubt exists in regard to the relief
sought being used or appropriated by
parties hostile to the Union cause. The
most needy and deserving of our SYM
pathizers will first be furnished with
the necessaries of life, to a limited ex-
tent only. The most stringent course
will be pursued to prevent any wrong
appropriation of the supplies.

CURIOUS SCENE IN SOUTHERN THEA
TRR-We attended the theatre in Atlanta
on the 10th of September, when "Meta-
mora was brought out. In the scene
where Metamora is assaulted by the
British soldier, a rebel soldier exclaimed
Why don't you do like Gen. Bragg
fall back on Atlanta Another exclaim-
ed, IN bet they don't belong to Braggs
army; they don't know how to retreat"
In another scene, where one of the char
acters is in danger, soldier created
much merriment by excTaiming, &c Don't
hurt him; he is one of Bragg's commits
saries. If you kill him we will be en-
tirely without rations. We are bad
enough off as it is. Still another cried,
Thanked again, by golly. Well, Rosie,
is q great fellow hurrah for Rosie
This was signal for loud cheers for old
Rosie by the soldiers present. The pro-
vost guard interfered and ended the dis
loyal demonstration, by marching off
seven or eight of the participants to the
guard-house.

Destructive PiRs,-About the time OF
our going 10 press yesterday morning
g IL o'cloek) as already mentioned in
the HERALD, a fire broke out In the
store of Messrs. Ross & Jones in Clark's
Block, and before IL could be subdued
consumed almost every thing in that
store, and one or two Others. p. IL,
Hutchinson, Esq, and Mr., Merrill of the
firm of Mowry & Merrill, Photographers,
lived In the third story, and narrowly
escaped with their families, their house
hold furniture being all destroyed Mr.,
Hutchinson's law Office was in the same
building, but his library and his papers
Were not essentially injured, The fire
extended 10 the rooms over Clark Il Bros
store, occupied by Miss Penfeld, as a
millinery and fancy goods establishment 4,
and ruined everything. 1t was sorry
sight to look at the remains of elegant
bonnets, ribbons, laces, edgings, crino-
lines. all rendered worthless by the de-
vouring element. Sawyer g. Company,
who occupied a room on the second
floor, lost large amount of mouldings,
gildlngs, &C., for picture frames.
The loss of Messrs. Ross & Jones Is
supposed to be ten or twelve thousand
dollars, on which there was an insur-
ance of five thousand-we did not
learn in what company. Miss Penfeld's
loss is supposed to be not less than three
thousand, on which there was an insur-
ance of only about five hundred. Her
books were also destroyed. Messrs.
Lewis & Fox, Druggists, sustained no
loss except by breakage and plfo1ng.
Messrs, Clark & Brothers, as well as Mr..
Sawyer, succeeded in removing most OF
their goods without injury the fire did
not reach their room. The goods in Mr..
French's store escaped injury except
what were in the window. The front
windows, doors and awnings are char
red unsightly mass ofruins The brick
walls, though somewhat blackened, do
not appear to be seriously injured. 1t
is not known how the fire originated, but
it is supposed to have taken in some
way from coal stove in the store of
Ross & Jones. Fortunately there was
little or no wind, otherwise sthe fire
would in all probability have beenmuch
more destructive.
The firemen did their duty nobly, and
their praises are in the mouth of every
body. 1t is only necessary to look at
the buildings to see that they stopped
the fire just where it was, and of course
prevented it from doing an untold
amount of damage. They very soon ex-
hausted the fountain which was nearest,
and then obtained water from the tank
near the depot, one engine playing into
the tub of the other The Trustees also
deserve great praise for having their
hook and ladder wagon on hand at pre-
cisely the right time. With the excep-
ton of Ross g. Jones, Mr.. Hutchinson,
Mr.. Mowry and Miss Penfeld, we be-
lieve the losses were fully covered
large proportion of the insurance being
in the Vermont Mutual Besides which
there were assurances in the City Fire"
New Haven, North America" Hart
ford, and the "Thames New London,
Ct, the Massasoit" Springfield. Mass,
and the Home" New York. The total
loss must exceed $4,000.

1t is remarkable fact that, for the

State, since the advent of Gen. Steele,
has furnished more volunteers for the
Union army than any equal number

A Lsssos.--The terrible calamity at
Santiago, by which two thousand per
sons were burned to death in an hour,
ought to be sufficient to impress upon
every body the vast Importance of pro
viding every public building and room
with ready means Of egress in case of
fire. Hardly church, hall, or theatre
in city or country, is now properly con-
structed in this particular, We are glad
to see that this fearful lesson of the San
tiago fire has impressed itself upon many
Of our newspapers, and trust that the
newspapers may be able to impress it
sufficiently upon their readers. Let not
a similar calamity nearer home be also
necessary to force improvement in our
public buildings and rooms in this i'm
portant respect.

tY The Rutland Herald advises all
the world, and the rcst OF mankind TO
go and hear Mrs, Augusta A, Currier
preach Spiritualism, and Abolitionlsm.
We are glad to zoe tho Herald show its
true colors. Courier.
The Rutland HERALD Ia not a sectarian
paper, and has said nothing of Mrs,
Curriers' preaching "spiritualism" one
way or another, The HERALp however
has decided political convictions, and one
of them is that confirmed ocpperhead,
who boasts Of being such, cannot be too
sharply attacked, even by a woman's
tongue. When, therefore, we saw a no
tice by newspaper published where
Mrs, Currier had lectured, that she was
in the habit of " flaying" copperheads
alive, we concluded she must be inter
esting. What was much needed was a
prime subject for the operation. There
was general regret that the editor of the
Courier was not present.

LoUIsIAEA-The movement Inaugural
ted by Gen. Banks in favor of reorganiz-
ing Louisiana as free State in the
Union,will be followed with deep interest
by the public. This is the first test of
the Presidents amnesty as practical
measure. All who know the prudence
and sagacity of Gen. Banks will feel as
sured that he would not have initiated
the enterprise if the people, in his judg-
ment, were not fully ripe for it. The ex-
plicit and confident tone OF his procla-
nation mark his convictions of the ex-
pediency of the step, and his determine
ton to superintend its thorough trial.
If it succeeds, the great work of reor-
ganization will have fairly begun, and it
will not pause till the Union is once
more complete from the now loyal States
to the whole line of the Gulf. For,
when Louisiana returns to her allegi-
ance, the intervening states of Missis-
sippi and Arkansas, at least, will wheel
into line almost by the necessities of
their position, thus giving an irresista-
BILE impulse to the movement. 1t is for
.tunate that this important experiment
begins under so competent guide as
Gen. Banks.

PoLrrloAL.-The address Of the Repub-
llcan members of the Pennsylvania Le-
glslature to the President, avowing their
preference for his reelection, is signed
by sixteen Senators and lfty-two Rep
rcsentatives. Itstates that the policy OF
the Administration, now shown to be
essential to the restoration Of the Union,
Ia still on trial, and it adds;
"The hope and the life Of the American
people are now centred In the purpose
and the effort of the government to crush
rebellion, In more than two years of
struggle we have discovered that the re-
bellion is continued for an object more
important than that Of redressing even a
real wrong. 1t is waged for the estab-
lishment of a dogma and the recognition
of a barbarism. 1t is carried on against
the government for its absolute des-
truction. In such struggle there can
be no compromise devised to offer or
considered for acceptance. One or the
other Of the contending parties must
triumph. Justice must be vindicated by
the full recognition and operation of the
government In all the States, or the
claims of the traitors be maintained,
this magnificent structure of our gov
eminent destroyed and the rights of men
forever ignored.
To make change in the Administra-
ton, until its authority has been fully
established in the reyolted States,
would be to give the enemies of the
government abroad the pretext for as
sorting that the government had failed
at home. To change the policy now in
operation to crush rebellion and restore
the land to peace would be to afford the
traitors in arms time to gather new
strength, If not for immediate victory, at
least for ultimate success in their efforts
permanently to dissolve the Union"

DIPLOMATIC CoRREsPoNDENCR.-A vol
ume of correspondence has just been
sent in to Congress, containing, among
other things, sundry dispatches concern
ing our relations with Great Britain.
The greatest topic of controversy has
been the apparent determination of the
British Government to permit the con-
struction, in British ports and by Brit
ish workmen, of vessels -of-war, to be
used by the Confederates to prey upon
American commerce.
In his dispatch of July II, Mr.. Seward
instructed Mr. Adams to inform Lord
Russell that, if the British Government
persisted in constituting its municipal
law as 1t had been laid down in the case
of the Alexandra, and also declined to
make any alterations in that law, there
would be left for the United States no
alternative "bm 10 protect themselves and
their commerce against armed cruisers proceed
,1g from British ports as against the napal
forces Of q public enemy" that to this end
the Government was preparing naval
force with the utmost vigor and that
If this should seem inadequate, resort
would be had to letters f-marque and
reprisal."
Mr.. Adams, In presenting these state
ments to Lord Russell, took occasion to
reinforce them by assuring him that the
people looked upon Great Britain as sub
stantially waging hostilities against
them now, and that they would inevita-
bly, and speedily demand that the game
should not be wholly on one side. These
representations had very decided eff
feet, and when the case Of the two rams
In process of construction for the rebels
by Mr.. Laird was brought forward, the
British Government, with comparatively
little difficulty, was brought to see the
propriety of ordering their detention.
