Yesterday the mortal remains of Abra-
ham Lincoln were deposited in the tomb of
] his former home in Springfield.
Its now three weeks since he was assas-
anated, during which time the loyal peo-
PIC Of the land, have been engaged in pay.
\ ing every possible mark Of respect to his
memory. The funeral train passed over
nearly the exact route that the President
did four years ago, when he wentto WASH
ngton to be inaugurated. Along the entire
route. at every station, village and city,
the mourners by thousands were present
to view sthe ..fueral car, and at designated
places where the coffin WAS opened, the
crowd was beyond any thing ever before
known, and it is probably safe TO say that
ffont the time of his death, until the corpse
reached Springfield, fully 100000 of per-
cons had tie melancholy pleasure OF look
ing apon his lifeless countenance. While
the body laid in state at Chicago, Monday
aud Tuesday business was entirely sus-
pended, and since then has been very quiet.
Our exchanges have been taken up 80
much Of late with accounts of these proper
obsesvauces OF the memory Of our lament
ed Chief Magistrate, and the efforts being
made use OF to bring the guilty conspira-
tors 10 punishment that they have contain
Ell but title else of interest.
The efforts of the enemies OF the Govern
mens that endeavored To put up the price
Of Gold on the announcement of the assas-
sinatson of the President, have signaliy
failed. and that com mod,ty is now selling
for less, than at any time for more than q
year past. s.
The sc.ren der Of nearly all the armies Of
the Confederates has already taken place,
and those that still continue in resistance
viii doubtless soon be declared outlaws,
and short work made of them, the cotton
in the South will be brought to market aud
shipped abroad. the continued increasing
demand for our gold bearing bonds across
the water, together with the mistaken con-
6dence Of the truly loyal at home, in the
ability OF the Government to meet all its
liabilities, will prevent gold from going
very much higher, aud while it cannot
reasonably be expected, that 1t will rapid
IL decline while the volume OF the curren-
o. is seemingly so great, still it must be
be borne in mind, that the currency of the
Southern States has been wiped out Of ex
istence. and an immense amount Of green
backs, AID National currency will be re-
CURED to take the place Of the now worth
less issues Of the bogus confederacy, aud
calculations for the future. based ON the
wants of the country in the way Of curren-
cyby previous to the war will fall far short
Of what will actually be necessary heFeaf-
ter.
