Tho statement that all tho troops will
be soon withdrawn from tho Southern
States, is entirely groundless.
An indianapolis dispatch records the fol-
lowing extraordinary and fatal accident:

ing to jump out, was caught by ber hoops
in tho buggy, and sho was dragged half q

Mr.. Lincoln and Negro Suffrage.

New YORK, September 25 Tho South
ern Advocate of tho 18th, says the follow.
ing extract, which has just been published. Z.
is from the late President Lincoln's lettor
to General Wadsworth, who fell in the bat-
tie Of the Wilderness. The letter which is
OF private character, is to bo sent to Con-
eral Wadswortb's family. IL shows that
Mr. Lincoln. who desired tho bestowal Of
the elective franchise upon the blacks, was
also at an early day in favor Of granting
universal amnesty, which for some strange
reason is still withheld from the South, not.
outstanding IL is known that It was bis in.
tention to grant without exception gen.
eral pardon. His wish in this particular tho
American people cannot afford to dsre-
gard. Congress will no doubt exact tho
right OF suffrage for tho blacks. Why uni.
vorsal amnesty should be withheld until that
timo we are unable to SEQ. This certainly
was not Mr.. Lihcoln's plan, whose inten-
tons all parties should sacredly Observe
The following is tho extract referred to, in
which Mr.. Lincoln says: "You desire to
know in the ovent of our complete success
in the fold, the same being followed by a
loyal and cheerful submission on the part
Of tho South, IL universal amnesty should
not be accompanied with universal suffaage.
Now since you know my private incl;ua.
tions as to what terms should be granted to
the South in the contingency mentioned, !
will here add that If our success should
thus be reaized and be followed by sucb a
desired result, cannot see if universal am.
nesty is granted, how under the circum-
Stances, can avoid exacting in return uni
versal suffrage, or at least suffrage on ba.
sis Of intelligence and military service -
L.. 49, Al 49, - Al u
race, has long beon study which has at.
tracted my serious and careful attention;
hence think am clear and decided as to
what course shall pursue in tho premises,
regarding is religious duty, as the nations
guardian Of these people who have 80 hero.
icaiIy vindicated their manhood on the bat
tie field, whore in assisting TO save the life
Of the Republic, they have demonstrated in
blood their right to the ballot. which is but
humane protection of the flag they bave
so fearIessIy defended" .'a
