Tha Lgta ppassaant.

Tbs tleds III AbfdiIafs iiIaeun, Reached bic
Primer rrsteurc. Springfield, the Capital IF Ills
huis, on Wednesday last, whereit lay III State
Until Thursday, and then was buried. -
Everywhere along the route travelled By the fu.
neral train, the most unbounded respect was
shown for tho remains, and the most heartfelt
sorrow manifested for the memory Of the great
departed.
Vast military and civic professions conducted
the body through the cities, and throngs gathered
around the cntafalquc TO catch glimpse Of the
Nations beloved. In the villages aud Railroad
stations the people a,semSlei fron miles around,
happy if they could but look upon the coffin that
enclosed his lfeless corpse. The honest country
men, the people whom he so much loved and in
whose service helaid down his liie left their work
and stood with uncovered heads az the train
swept by. II to-day the nation so deeply meunrs
her loss, If to-day the venerstion of great po-
Pile for their murdered President is SO profound,
pre-eminent indeed will be the memory OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, when 1t lies embalmed in the inn
partial history OF half century hence.
In reading over the speeches and messages Of
the late President, words which at first reading
seem trivial and meaningless no one can fail to
be impressed with the frmness of purpose, the
Kindness of heart, the liberal and Christian spirit,
the broad principles of humanity that actuated
his life. We make the following extract from his
TO show how firmly lie stood on the subject of
Emancipation
! repeat the declaration made year ago, that
while remain in my present position shall not
attempt to retreat or modify The Emancipation
Proclamation nor shall return to slavery any
person who is free By the terms of that proclama
ton or by any Of the acts Of Congress.
If the people Should by whatever mode or
means, make it an Executive duty to re-enslaYe
such PERSONS another, and not l. mnst be their
instrument to perform it. In stating single
condition of peace, mean simply to say that the
war will cease on the part OF the Government
whenever it shall have ceased the part of those
who began it.
The following is the closing paragraph of his
late Inaugural Address. The history Of public
men records few nobler sentiments
Fondly do we hope-iervently do we pray that
this mighty scourge OF war may speedily pass
away yet, if God wills that it continue until all
the wealth filled by the bondman's two hundred
and fifty years of unrcquted toll shall be sunk,
and until every drop of blood drawn with the
last shall be paid by another drawn with the
sword, as was said three thousand years ago. so
still it must be said, " the judgements Of the Lord
are true and righteous altogether
With maice'to mono with charity for all with
frmness in the right, as God gives us to see the
right let us strive on to finish the work we arc
in, to bind up the nations wounds, to care for
him who shall have borne the battle, and for his
widow and his orphan, to do all which may
achieve and cherish a jnstand lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.

Important Order.

The War Department, in view Of the termina-
