The startling runlor of the, death of President
Lincoln which reached our community Saturday
night, is, we. are told, confirmed. Several north.

lars win be found in another column. Should
the intelligence of the tragedy prove true land
there seems to be but little room for doubt it
would appear that Gr. Liacoln has expiated the
penalty. of this awful revolution with his own
blood. 1t may he even at the near approach of
the grand consumatioa of peace-thath he was rot

was committed BY some one for private wrongs
received, which nothing could atone for bnt the
blood of the great leaders of the reyoIution-for

Secretary Stewards life.
