Interesting Sketch Of President
Lincoln.

The following just and appreciatiye
portrait of our lamente6 president was
recently published in the Northern Wing
, at Belfast, ireland, and is supposed to be
from the pen of Professor Cairnes, OF
Queens college, Galway -
"Mr. Lincoln is one of those historic
characters whom Carlisle, in the better
days of his earlier and saner genius,
would have loved to sketch. Among the
men who have been summoned from the
unambitious pursuits of every day life to
save and guide nations in their hour OF
trial, the uncouth and yet not undignifed
figure of the Illinois rail>splitter and wills
lage lawyer--"mean white" Of Kentucky
by birth--will hold by no means the lows
est place. But for the migration of his
father across the Ohio, Abraham Lin
coin, il is strange to think, might now
be risking the worthless life of Cracker
or sand hitler in the armies of Jefferson
Davis. If it were not for Mr.. Carlyle'S
adhesion TO the principle of hiring ser
wants for life,' as one Of the forms of the
rule OF the strongest, it is easy to see 10
which of the two leaders in the civil war
bis sympathies would turn. Jefferson
Davis is type of the professional polti-
cian-prscticed in the conventions of
governmental master of those arts of
national 'palaver' and diplomatic having
the honor to be- which excite, even in an
unreasonable degree, Mr.. Carlyle's dis
like and contempt. He ia an American
statesman with European varnish.--
Abraham Lincoln, on the other hand :;
with his genius or'silence, and its cor
relative, occasionally delicious speech,
struggling with the difficulties of an inn
perfect early education--the fine spirit
in the rough garb-blending firm pur-
pose with humane heart-a deep religion,
with genuine if homely, bumor-seems
made for Carlyle's pen. The formal,
decorous, courtly figure of the founder of
the Union will contrast strangely with
the ungainly and unpublished figure of
1--WE trust) its destined restorer. But
history will recognize one thing common
to George Washington, and Abraham
pure honesty void of all self
seeking. When the heats of party pas.
sion and international Jealousy have
absted, when detractions has spent its
malice, and the scandalous, gossip of the
lay goes the way of all lies, the place of
Abraham Lincoln, in the grateful affrc-
ions of his countrymen and in the re-
pect of the world, will be second only,
f it be second, TO that OF Washington
himself.

Last Friday night a fiendish attempt
was made to fire Huntley and Baldwin's
Store. A ball OF candle wcking, satu-
rated with kerosene, was thrown through
broken pane of glass in the rear of the
store, and fell in the vicinity of oil barrels.
Fortunately the fire was extinguished
in falling, otherwise, not only that, but
many other buildings would have been
destroyed, aud several of our business
men ruined. Should the cowardly wis
lain, who made the attempt, be detected,
he would not only be made to suffer the
extreme penalty ofthe law, but it is barely
possible that be would be visited with a
few extra touches by the enraged citi-
zens. Our people would breath freer il
we had some efficient means ofextinguish
ing fires.-Newport Express.

MORE HOUSE BREAKING AT RUT.
LAND.-Rutland is not yet free from
burglars. We learn from the Herald,
that on Sunday evening, Mrs. S. d.
Marsh, who lives on Elm Street, saw a
suspicious looking individual about the
premises. She called her husband and
both made due examination and search
but discovered no one. When about re-
firing, Mrs. Marsh went up stairs to look
at the children who slept there, and
while there determined to search the
rooms. She discovered no one until she
opened the closet of the children's room
when a man Immediately rushed out with
an oath, blew out the light she was car
rying and struck her blow upon the
head. Being a strong woman she caught
him and dragged him nearly to the top
of the stairs, screaming for her husband.
He rushed up stairs and when near them,
the villain struck Mrs. M. violent blow
upon the stomach, causing her to release
her hold upon him, when be escaped.

A MAN MADE 70 HONOR THE FLAG.

A MAN MADE TO HONOR THE FLAG
Monday forenoon the young women
employed in the shoe manufactures in
Waverly Block, sent deputation OF
their number to Samuel A. Boardman,
who keeps livery stable near the depot,
with note requesting him, as he was re-
ported 10 have made some unfeeling and
traitorous expressions with regard to the
assassination Of President Lincoln, to
display the American flag upon his prem
ises before one o'clock, and if he had no
flag they offered to furnish one. No
notice being taken Of the request, the
workmen in these establishments sent q
similar message and with no better sue
cess. AT one o'clock the young women,
some thirty or forty in number, called on
Boardman with flag and assured him
Iif he would take it and display it all
would be we'll; otherwise he would be
compelled to do it. Boardman retreated
to his office, and threatened to shoot the
first person who entered. A lady step
ped in immediately, saying, "Shoot me if
you will; but you must display that flag"
The workmen then came over, brought
him out, showed him a rail, and gave
him the choice of displaying the flag or
taking a ride through the town. He
still refused and was mounted on the rail,
and the procession started down Elmer.
son street, negro leading the advance,
the women following; then came the rail
and its rider, borne on the shoulders OF
eight men, with flankers and rear guard
and followed up by crowd of some two
hundred persons. A halt was made on
Main street in front Of Lyceum Hall, and
large placard with the word Traitor,
was brought out and placed on his breast.
He was carried more than two miles
and then returned to the point of start,
ing, but be still refused to display the
flag of bis country.
A kettle of tar and bag Of feathers
had been provided in the meantime, and
upon his deliberate refusal to even take
the flag in his hand, he was stripped to
the waist, and in few moments he was
strange looking biped with feathers. He
still refused to take the flag, and was
mounted again upon the rail for second
ride. After proceeding slme twenty
rods be succumbed, and consented to
raise the flag on his premises. This he
did in the presence of the crowd. He
was cheered, and permitted to retire. 10
the evening several rabd copper.heads
were called upon, but they had taken
the precauton to display the stars and
stripes.-BoSt0n Journal

The High Rebel Criminals.

The proclamation of the President, of
fering high rewards for the arrest of jeff.
Davis and other leading rebels for being
concerned in the guilt of the late Wash
ington tragedy, gives a new turn to that
affair. We never doubted that jeff
Davis was bad enough to incite that or
any other crime which he thought to be
promotive of his own interests. The
man who made Reputation his stepping
stone into public life, who, with his cool
temperament was yet the leader in the
work of treason, who sanctioned the Fort
Pillow massacre and deliberately sustain,
ed the slow murder of thousands of our
prisoners, might well be deemed capable
of any act of atrocity that promised to be
profitable.
But we could not see how, with his
admitted intelligence and his experience
of the war thus far, he could bring him
self to believe that the assassination Of
President Lincoln and other chief officers
of the Government would promote the
interests of the rebellion. But it is pos
siole that, having been astray and per-
verted on that whole subject, a sound
judgement on any Of its details lie hardly
to have been expected of such man.
If, for instance, be thought, as he appears
to have thought, that the diabolical treat
ment Of our prisoners was expedent and
advisable in the interests Of the rebellion,
why should he not have melted the
Washington assassinatons for the same
purpose ? 1t was probably the last des-
perate attempt of the rebellion, intended
to deprive the Government of all its
leading officers, civil and military, at one
blow, and to result in a CONSERVATION and
paralysis to the loyal cause which would
give the South one more opportunity to
retrieve its fading fortunes.
The evidence which has led the Pres
ident to issue this proclamation must be
of conclusive character. With regard
to such manifest villains as George N.
Sanders and others OF his confederates
in Canada, the alleged criminality is very
probable. But we trust that one or more
of them will be caught and brought to
trial, that justice may be done, and the
whole matter may come out under oath.
And if it should be only one, we wish, OF
course, it might be JEFF. Davis, as he
needs justice more than any other man
in the country, and the stern application
of it would be of the greatest national
benefit. But if he escapes ultimately,
this discovery puts the final touch upon
his infamous character. Repudiator,
traitor, thief, murderer-suchi is the four
fold brand upon his forehead, with which
be must wander upon the earth for the
remainder of his DAYS RoSfon To,JrooJ

THE END OF THE WAR.-Tho Wash.
Iington correspondent of the N. Y. Er-
press says;
Tie great body of the armies Of the
Potomac and Sherman's are ordered to
Washington, retaining merely The need
full garrisons at the South.
1t is intended to reduce the military
force to two hundred or two hundred
and fifty thousand men, of which one.hali
at least will be colored troops whose term
of service will expire the soonest. 1t is
to be hoped the government will not at
tempt to make any of the Southern gar
risons exclusively of colored troops, for
obey are not to be trusted without white
troops.
Johnston's army has surrendered-nol
on the condition of Lees not to serve I'M
til exchanged but not to serve until al.
lowed to do so by the President Of the
United States. This is to let them see
that it is an end of the war, and that there
is to be no continuance of it. The most
or all of thea, are we'll content to accept
these terms, which fully exonerates them
from all further fighting.
