Linool as First Dollar.

One evening in the Executive Chamber
there were present number OF gentle
men, among them Mr.. Seward.
A point in the conversation suggested
the thought, Mr.. Lincoln said, Seward,
you never heard. did you, how l earned
my FIRST dollar 7" NO" said Mr.. Sew
ard. "Well," replied he. 81 was about
IL years Of age. | belonged, you know,

people who do net own land and slaves
are nobody there. But VIC had succeeded
in raising. chiefly by my labor, sufficient
produce. as l thought, to Justify me in
taxing it down the river to sell.
After much persuasion, got the con-
sent Of my mother to go, aud constructed
little fat bot large enough to take a
barrel or two Of things that we had gath
cred, with myself aud little bundle
down to New Orleans. A steamer was
coming down the river. We have, you
know, no wharves on the Western streams,
and the custom was, it passengers were
at any Of the landings, for them to 60 out
in a boat, the steamer stopping and taking
them on board.
was completing my new boat, won-
dering whether could make it stronger
or improve it in any particular, when two
men came down to the store in carriages
with trunks, aud looking at the different
boats, singled out mine, aud asked, "Who

estly, Il do" "WiIl you," said one of
them," take US and our trunks out to the
steamer :" "Certainly," said l. was
very glad to have the chance Of earning
something. supposed each would give
Inc two or three bits. The trunks were
put on my fat boat, the passengers seated
themselves on the trunks, aud | skuled
them out to the steamboat.
They got on board, a1d lifted up their
heavy trunks, and put them on deck
The steamer was about to put on steam
again. when | called out that they had
forgotten to pay me. Each Of them took
from his pocket silver half dollar, and
threw it on the floor Of my boat, l could
scarcely believe my eyes as | picked up
the money. Gentlemen you may think it
is a very little thing. and in thess days it
seems Ike trif1e: but it was most i'm
portant incident in my life. could
scarcely credit that l. poor boy, had

American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1851-1863, 1865-12-02
ALEXANDER II. STEPAENS.

The Yicksburg Herald of the 18th, refers
to this pure, upright and eminent citizen of
the South ave regard him as the greatest
living statesman. Had his wise counsel pre-
vailed in 1860, the terrors of an unsuccessful
war would have been arrested. Had his sug-
gestlous been needed at Fortress Monroe,
much of the humiliation of reconstruction
would have been spared US. The fact is,
Stephens and his co-lAb saw no use of
spiling blood after our cause was glaringly
hopeless but he did not even then desert his
people. He retired to his home, aud subss-
quent events proved his sagacity; but, unfor-
tunately, not in time to give the Southern
people the advantage of it."
This is all very true, as we have the best
of reasons for believing. Had not the wise,
far-seeug and statesmanlike advice of Mr..
Stephens been overruled, the result of tho
conference near Fortress Monroe between
President Lincoln, Secretary Seward, and
Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell, on
the part of the Confederate States, would
have been highly advantageous to the South
ern people, for universal amnesty would have
been at once proclaimed, and complete
restoration of civil and political rights effect
ed ere this. Mr.. s. knew that the cause was
lost, as did Gen. Lee aud other high officers,
and would have made good terms if he had
been allowed the privilege. But other coun-
sells, no doubt dictated by patriotic motives,
prevailed, the collapse came, the period for
making terms passed away never to return,
aud we are now constrained to do the best
we can with the circumstances BY which we
are surrounded.
