OF ASIA, Africa and Amerlca'--and con-
qaer him at last
Nor was William entirely master of that
narrow shsal where chung the survivors of
a great national shipwreck. North and
South Holland were cut in two bv the loss
OF Harlem, while the enemy was in posses
sion. OF the....natural capital OF the little
country, Amsterdam. The Prince affirm-
ed that the cause had suffered more from
the disloyalty Of Amsterdam than from all
the efforts Of the enemy. Moreover. the
country was in most desolate condition.
Il was almost literally sinking ship, for
the destruction Of the bulwarks against the
ocean had deluged the land. aud "an enor-
nous outlay both of labor and money was
indispensable to save the ply existence
OF the c0uutry.'
1t was at this moment that desperate,
bnt sublime resolution took posse ssion Of
the Princes mind. There seemed but one
way to exclude the Spaniards forever fran
Holland and Zealand, and TO rescue the
Inhabitants from impending rum. The
Prince had long brooded over the scheme.
and the hour seemed to have struck for its
fnlillment. His protest was to Collect all
the vessels OF every description. which
could be obtained throughout the Neither
lands. The whole population of the two
provinces, men, women and children, TO-
gether with all the moveable property OF
the country, we're then 10 be embarked on
board this numerous fleet, and to seek q
new home beyond the seas. The wind

pierced. the sIuices opened in every dire
ton, and the country restored forever to
the ocean from which it had sprung.
Just as this sublime resolution was about
to be carried into effect. the Grand Cum
aander, Requesens. died suddenly. and
after only four days sickness. A pause in
the war ensned. The little provinces ga
thered up their strength. repaired lheir
losses, and, after many years more Of bat
Ting. made good their independence.
We are ia 90 such strait as the Hollan-
ders. and il We we're. their example onghl
70 nerve Us anew. strengthen our determi-
: nation, and encourage US to perseyere u
the bitter end. And We will do il. Wha
has been already done gives assurance o
what is to come. Before the war began
few believed that the people Of this genera
tion would show the hardy virtues whicl
distinguished our ancestors. Nov We baas
that we have equalled them in courage
aud eclipsed them 10 achievement. IL re-
mains TO exhibit our fortitude and. BY Tia
blessing of God, We shall exhibit IL sab

THE LIES ABOUT PRESIDENT LINcoLNs Pay
Gen. Spinner, United States Treasurer, having
been appealed to for an official statement con-
corning the stories of Mr.. Lincoln having drawn
his salary in gold and invested it in foreign Sc
curties, replies in an official statement, dated
Washington, 18th October, showing:
FGrst-That the President has neglected for
long periods to indorse and collect the monthly
drafts sent him for his salary ON one occasion
collecting none for over eleven months
Second-That when his attention called to
the loss of interest he thus mourning, he
asked who gained by his loss, and on being told
the United States, added 'Then let it remain,
the Treasury needs it more than'I do
Third-That the Treasurer finally COM
PEELED to request the President to draw his sal
ary in order to adjust the annual accounts.
Fouth-That the sum thus drawn was placed
in the United States per cent. temporary loan,
payable, principal and interest, in greenbacks.
Frfa-That since then such portions of his
salary as he did not need have been drawn for
him by his friends and invested in United States
collaborating stocks, purchased at current rates
and deposited in the vault of the Treasury
iSirfh-That he has habtually neglected to
draw the interest on these stocks, and that on
able in gold having accumulated to $500, the
Treasurer sent it to him, he returned it, saying,
Il reckon the Treasury needs it more than
do
Serenth-That his losses from not collecting
interest on his bonds have amounted to $4,000,
which has been virtually given to the Treasury
