Illuminated tonight, and adorned with

Thousands of persons hocked to the
Executive Mansion. The President,
in response to unanimous call, ap-
pearcd at the upper window and made
a speech, as follows:
We meet this evening not in sorrow,
but in gladness of heart. The evacu,
alton OF Petersburg and Richmond, and
the surrender of the principal insur-
gent army, gives hopes of righteous
and speedy peace, whose joyous cx-
preston cannot be restrained. In the
midst of this, however lie from whom

ing is being prepared, and will be du-

not be parcelled out with others. |

large share Of thought from the first
is pressed much moro closely upon
our attention. 1t is franght with great
difficulty. Unlike the case of war 6e.
tween Independent nations, there is no
authorized organ for us to treat with.
No one man has authority to give up
the rebellion for any other man. We
must simply begin with, and mold
from disorganizcd and discordant clc-
ments. Nor is it q small additional
embarrassment that we, the loyal peo-
pie, differ among ourselves as to the
mode and measure of reconstruction,

There isa prescription in use in Eng
land for the cure of drunkenness, by
which thousands arc said to have been
assisted in recovering themselves. The
receipt came into notoricty through
the efforts Of John Vine Hall, comman-
der of the Great Eastern steamship -
lie had fallen into such habitual drunk
enness, that his most earnest efforts to
reclaim himself proved unavailing. At
length he sought the advice Of an cmi-
nent physician who gave him a pre-
scription which he followed faithfully
Tor seven months, and at the end of
that time had lost all desire for liquor,
although he had been for many years
led captive by most debasing appe-
tito. The receipt which ho afterwards
published, and by which so many other
drunkards have been assisted to reform
is as follows: Sulphate of iron, five
grains Magnesia, ten grains; pepper
mint water, eleven drachms spirit Of
nutmeg, one draehm; twice u day
This preparation acts as a tonic and
stimulant andso partially supplies the
place of the accustomed liquor, and
moral prostration that follows a sudden
breaking off from the use of stimulat-
ing drinks.

In my last | spoke about the new
store in the old cabin, first bill of pur-
chase, &c. This time will by way OF
variety, touch upon some other facts
which transpired when was Il lad. 1t
will be well to remind young Amer
ica' that we had some strong boys in
those days, if not SO fast as in these
latter times. Mr.. G.. residing on Wal
nut creek, is living witness to what
state. As already mentioned in =
former article, it was customary for
our farmers to 90 with their teams to
GAINESVILLE for salt, as well as for the
purpose of having grinding done.
One time several farmers from the
creek here loaded with wheat. Among
thenumber were Abraham Fairchild,
Noah Gundy and John Knrpper, the
latter a young man of twenty or
twenty-five. After they had unIoaded
their wheat there were a dozen or
more teams ready 10 load up salt
One man was looking out for a plank
to roll up the barrels. Mr., Abraham
Fairchild, then perhaps the oldest in
the crowd, said that he would bet
bottle of brandy that there was man
in this crowd who could pick up
barrel of salt and throw it into his
wagon without the aid of n plank or
other help. Just then there was
gentleman Standing in the mill ware
house door with pen or pencil in hand
ready to take down tho weight of the
barrels. He heard what Mr.. + said and
remarked. II will pay the brandy if
you can find q man in your crowd who
can do that" No sooner said than
old Mr.. Fairchild called out, "John,"
meaning John Knepper,,"p off your
coat" John pitched in, and picked
up not only one barrel, but loaded his
wagon in that way. The clerk paid
the brandy, as matter of course, and
John was the Sampson in the crowd
Abraham was q near neighbor and
had seen him lift before this occasion.
l was told that this same John carried
at one load twelve bushels of wheat
up into his fathers mill remember he
had to 60 up several steps. Truly,
he was strong boy. Many of the
barrels then contained over seven
bushels of salt
When old Mr.. Gundy first settled
on Walnut creek in 1904, on the Same
farm whero his son Noah now lives,
his first dwelling house was sugar
camp hut. In this the family lived
all winter. Few and far between
were neighbors houses,
The Indians were plenty; they had
a sugar camp half mile or so north
east of his camp. Once upon a time
when the Indians were engaged in
sugar making, n Mr.. L. came
along on u hdnting expedition and
shot squaw through the arm. This
unlucky shot, at the time, was likely
to prove disastrous to tho white set

as the armies OF the United States
were disbandcd, and used 10 conquer
and subdue the loyal States"
But, if these consequences are to
follow, whose fault will it te? Ger.
tain!y not Sherman's. If these arms
might be used as soon as our armies
ale disbanded," or as soon as we
withdraw the force necessary to their
safe keeping, we will know where to
fix the responsibility. Sherman GER
tainly has not d'sbanded ourarmies; he
has not withdrawn our custody over
those arms, but exactly the contrary,
he stipulates that they shall come right
under our own guns, and be subject
TO our military vigilance. If these
same arms might be used after the
men who carried them are dispersed =,
if they are such dangerous articles
when in. our power, it seems to me
they are little more dangerous when
they arc in the hands Of veteran
army.
There is provision with respect to
this deposit of arms that does not
seem to be understood 1t is that, un-
til Congress otherwise provides, they
are TO remain at their places of de-
post "to be used solely to maintain
peace and order within the borders
OF the States respectively" This is
one Of the'ordinary safeguards provi-
ded in every State tor its own tran
guilty. | do not know of one which
has not this protection against domes-
tic insurrection. 1t is of such vital
Importance that it is secured TO every
State by express constitutional provis
ion. Certainly all over these South
ern States there is danger Of that "to-
nestle violence" contemplated by the
Constitution. There is no safety there
if the white population is disarmcd.
Allow them means Of defense against
n terrible danger, but SEQ to it that
they use these arms, as the memoran-
dun has it, only TO maintain order.
think we have gone far enough
with this memorandum to reach, at
least, one safe conclusion, and that is
that it efiectually destroys the military
power Of the confedcracy. 1t puts an
end to the war without shedding
another drop of blood. We can afford
to pay high price for such a consum-
nation. If there is a-calamity to en-,
sue, equal or greater than tho one
which it removes if the price is out
of all proportion with the benefit; il
the bad outweighs the good if the
mischiefs Of peace that is to come are
greater than the war now ragged il
this certain deliverance is no more
certain than future and better de.
livcrance, why then, let the war go on
1t is q grave question to consider, and
an awtal responsibility must attend
its decision.
The subject grows upon my hands,
and | must postpone it for another
article. SIGMA.

IIoyy the Late President Looks In His
Colin.
[C9rresponlen:e oI .ns .,ev York 10

Correspondence me Nev York World.
Death has fastened into his frozen
face all the character idiosyncrasy
of lite. lie has not changed one line
of his grave, grotcsquc countenance,
nor smoothcd out single feature. The
hue is,rather bloodless and leaden but
he was always sallow. The dark eye
brows seem abruptly arched; the
beard, which wi grow no moro, is
shaved close, save the tprfat the short,
small chin The mouth is shut, like
that Of enc who had put his foot down
firm, and so are the eyes, which look
as calm as slumber. The collar is short
and awkward, turned over the stiff
elastic cravat, and whatever energy or
humor or tender gravity marked the
living face, is hardened into its pulse
less outline. No corpse in the world
is betterprepared, according to appear
ances. The white satin around it, re-
fleets sufficient light upon the face to
show us that death is real ly there; but
there are sweet roses and early magno-
las, and the balmicst of lilies strewn
around, rs if the flowers had begun to
bloom even upon his coffin. Looking
on uninterruptedly, for there is no
pressure. and hcnceforward the place
will be thronged with gazers who will
take from the sight its suggestiveness
and respect Three years ago, when
little Willie Lincoln died, Doctors
Brown and Alexar der, the embalm-
ers or injectors, prepared bis body
50 handsomely that the President
had it twice disintered to look up
on it. The same men, in the same
way, have made perpetual these be-
loved lineaments. There is no blood
in the body; it was drained by the
iugular vein and sacredly preserved,
and through a cutting on the inside of
the thigh tho empty blood-vessels
were charged with a chcmical:prepara-
ton which soon hardened to the con-
sistcncy of stone The long and bouy
body is now hard and stiff, so that be-
yond its present position it can not be
moved any more than the arms and
legs of q statue. 1t has undergone
many changes. The scalp has been
removed, the brain scooped out, tho
chest opened, and the blood emptied.
All this wo SEQ of Abraham Lincoln,
so cunningly contemplated in this
splondid coffin, is a mere shell, an etti-
gy, a sculpture. He lies in sleep, but
It is the sleep of marble. All that
made this flesh vital, sentient, and al
fectionate, is gone forever.
