NUMBER "A.
Anecdote of Mr., Linooln..

quet to the Odd Fellows, in Baltimore,
Mr.. John w. Garrett, President of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, related the
following incident. fsTs4
by his request I accompanied Presi-
dent Lincoln, immediately after the battle
of Antietam, to the scene of that sau-
culinary conflict After passing over the
Baltimore and Ohio Road from Washing
ton to Harper's Ferry, l continued with
him, by his desire, during the memorable
period he spent with the officers and SOL
diers of the Federal army, anil among the
hospitals aud the wounded upon that
bloody field.
AS in accord with the spirit of your
fraternity, | will mention scene which
occurred in one of those hospitals which
bedewed many eyes The President ex-
amined, kindly and tenderly, into the con-
dition and care of the Federal wounded,
tie also passed through the hospitals
where were placed the Confederate woun.
ded Many of these hospitals, in view
Of the large number of the wounded
were improyised from the barus upon and
IN the vicinity of the field of BATTLE

die space of an extensive Switzer barn.
where large number of Confede ate
wounded lay, the President stopped about
the centre of the apartment, opposite
youth of striking appearance, probably of
eighteen or twenty years of age. He lay
looking very feeble and pallid. He had
three straws in his hand and was feebly
moving them to keep the insects from his
face, The President asked "if he had
received all necessary attention Z" He
replied that 'he had--thst his right leg
had been ampatated" The President
responded / trust you will get we'll"
The youth-great tears roliug from his
eyes, said: No; I am sinking l shall
die" The President leaned tenderly over
him and said: "Will you shake hands
With me? / remarked: "This is Presi-
dent Lincoln" lie attempted TO raise
his hand, and give it to the President
The President asked him: Where arc
you from ".From Georgia Again the
President expressed the hope, still hold
ing his hand, that he would recover
No" said the youth, ~ shall never see
my mother again-I shall die"
The President still held his hand, and
fervently calculated, while he wept, and
his tears mingled with those of the saf-
ferer, " may God bless you, aud restore,
you to your mother and your home. ~
Amid all the sad scenes of that field Of
carnage, coming forth from that sancti-
fed spot, | said, "Mr President, such
kindness will make missionaries of good
will of the soldiers who return South to
their homes" The President then ex-
pressed his wishes generally to those acy
companying h;m, that all the wounded
and all the sufferers should be kindly
treated, and in the course of converse
tiou thereafter, expressed sanguine hopes
that at an early day, instead of such
scenes Of suffering, scenes Of concord
and good feeling, and restored Uunion,
would be speedily realized. aies

Many and sad. have been the bereavcm ents caused by this war. Our young men who so promptly responded to the call of our Country have left many vacau. places to be filled hs -s,s-.,'- fas they hzss

 L, man Eaill, of Company C. 2d Coma. ilrav,

Fel.n preach ed sermon touchingly beautiful and uppro- priate 10 the occasion. He was among lii. first to enlist in the 18th Regiment, aud was able to perform his military duties until ,buu. the lst of June, when he Was taken with se- were illness aud removed to Hospital in Philadelphia, where he remained until he pai- tially recovered ;-then obtaining u short fur tough he came home to bid d final adieu ,u his mother, who Was then in the last stages oi consumption. aud not expected to survive long Her death occurred on the 25u of September
 At the exp,ratiou of his furiough he returned to his Regiment to suffer with then, and die another victim 10 the Shareholders Rebellion. He was wounded at the battle of Cedar Creek Va, October 18th 1864. being the 23d birtll- day, the ball entering just below the neck
 breaking the collar bone, and lodging in the back As he fell he exclaimed, Il am mortally wounded" and expressed his willingness to die. He was taken to the Taylor House Hos pital, Winchester, and after tho ball was ex- tracted he seemed to revive. and encouraged the hope then entertained of his speedy recov- ery.-,He continued to improve until two days before his death, when reaction took place, after which he sunk rapidly. and died Nov. 3d 1864. Henry will long be remembered by al who knew him-by hIs family as a kind affec. tionate Son and Brother; by his acquantances as the good boy he ever was and by his con- panions in-arns as . cheerful, obiising friend. He was favorite in bis Company; by lis generous, manly conduct he won the love and esteem of all. He was promoted'to the rank of Corporal some tiHe last Winter, and his Captain, who noticed his Soldier-like conduct on the field of battle, was expecting soon to promote him further. But it was otherwise ordered by Him who "eoeth all things we'll" and in ,ie quiet churchyari in Cornwall, sur- rounded by his own native hills. Henry sleel s peacefully that last long sleep from which rot even the war-cry or noise of battle shall waken him more but he will arise to meet the Lord of Hosts in that last great day when he will make up his jewels.
