OFFICIAL ACCEPTANCE.

We ind in the March supplement Of the
Congregational Globe. the following official
acceptance of the Office of President. after
the votes had been counted, announced
for Mr.. Lincoln through Lyman Trum-
bull, of Illinois. We do not recollect OF
having seen it published in any Of our
cotemporanss, save in the official report
ing organ from which we quote:
Mr.. Trumbull, from the jnint committee oil
the two Houses, appointed TO wait upon
Abraham Lincoln, Of Illinois, and notify him
of his election as President Of the United
States, reported that committee had perform
ed the duty assigned them, and that the
President elect, in signifying his acceptance
of the Office to which he had been chosen By
the people, said:
Having served four years in the depths oil
q great and yet unended national peril, can
view this call TO a second term in nowise
more hatterin2ly to myself than as an ex-
preston Of the public judgment that may
litter finish difficult work in which | have
labored from the first, than could any one
less severely schooled in the task. In this
view, and with assured reliance on that Al
mighty Ruler who has so graciOusly sustain
ed US thus far, and with increased gratitude
10 the generous people for their continued
confidence, ACCEPT the renewed trust with
its ye, onerous and Perplexing duties and
responsibilities"
How sententious and solemn the words
of Lincoln on every important occasion.
Verify, a great man has fallen in Israel.

EIonueut Exfrarf.

In his Grafton at the Sumter jubilee,
Henry Ward Beecher thus eloquently and
terribly denounces the leaders Of the re.
bellion. He speaks the sentiments OF the
nation:
I charge the whole guilt Of this war upon
the ambitious, educated, plotting political
leaders Of the South. Applause. They
have shed this ocean of blood. They have
desolated the South. They have poured
poverty through all her towns and cities:
They have bewildered the Imagination OF
the people with phantasms, and led them
to believe that they were lighting for their
homes and liberty, whose homes were IN
threatened, and whose liberty was in no
jeopardy.
These arrogant instigators of civil war
have renewed the plague Of Egypt not
that the oppressed might go free, but that
the free might be oppressed. A day will
come when God will reveal judgment, and
arraign at His bar these mighty miscreants;
and then every orphan that their bloody
game has made, and every widow that sits
sorrowing. and every manned and woun-
ded sufferer, and every bereaved heart in
all the wide regions Of this land, will rise
up and come before the Lord to lay upon
these chief culprits of modern history their
awful witness. And from a thousand
battle. fields shall rise up armies Of airy
witnesses, who, with the memory OF their
awful sufferings, shall confront these mis-
creants with shrieks Of fierce accusation
and every pale and starved prisoner shall
raise his skinny hand in judgment. Blood
shall call out for vengeance, and tears shall
plead for Justice, and grief shall silently
beckon, and love, heart-smitten. shall wall
for Justice. Good men and angels will cry
out, 4" How long o Lord, how long, wilt
thou not avenge:"
And, then, these guiltiest and most re.
morseless traitors, these high and cultured
men, with might and wisdom, used fol
the destruction Of their country; these
most accursed and detested Of all criminals
that have drenched continent in needless
blood, and moved the foundations Of theii
times with hideous crimes and cruelty,
caught up in black clouds, full Of voices
of vengeance and lurid with punishment

JEFF. DAVIS Hume IN EfFIeY.-on
Monday forenoon an efigy Of JET. Davis
was hung at the foot Of K street, Sacra-
mento, attracting. considerable attention
during the day. Parties connected with
the Pacific Railroad depot and with the
Steam Navigation warehouse prepared the
efigy, and at first suspended it ona line
between the two Aagstaffs Of the respec-
tive companies. In this position the efigy
could be seen from any point on X street.
Ir a short time Captain Taylor, agent Of
the Steam Navigation Company, objected
to its suspension in that position, on the
ground. that the exhibition was in bad
taste at so public 4 place, and that it
would give offense to Union men a. well
IS to Secessionists. The efigy was then
lowered and disconnected from the flag.

at once raised on the staff Of the Railroad
Company, where it remained through the

. NOT . STAR osscuRED!"

At the imposing ceremonial %
the ,a,ter,d ensign Of Fort sumter Aoo's
its ruins, ON the fourth anniversary Oh 'ne
a.v an which it fell before the fire OF
,r..son, Henry Ward Beecher was pre-.
con, and delivered an Grafton worthy OF
-, fame a. an orator. In the course OF his
address he alluded to the happy omen,
tina. although the old flag often rent BY
sbo, and shell, yet not single star cG'
6lotssd from the Union! We make room
for an eloquent extract containing this
happy illusion. Turning to Major (now
GeneraD Anderson, and the group Of
veterans about him, and reviewing the in
cidents of the bombardment, he said:
To-day you are returned again. We de.
doutly Join with you in thanksgiving to AL
mighty Goo, that He has spared your honored
life and vouchsafed you the honors Of this
day. The heavens over you are the same |;
the same shores morning comes and even
ing, as they did. All else, how changed |!
What grim batteries crowd the burdened
shore What scenes have filled this air and
disturbed these waters! These shattered
heaps Of shapeless stone are all that 10 LEFT OF
Fort Sumter. Desolation broods in yonder
sad city-solemn retribution hath avenged
our dishunored banner! You have come
back with honor who departed hence, four
years ago, leaving the air sultry with fanatic
ism. The surging crowds that rolled up their
frenzied shouts, as the flag came down, are
dead, OF scattered, or silent; and their habi-
tations are desolate. Ruin sits in the cradle
of treason. Rebellion has persisted. But
there lies the same flag that was insulted.
[Great and prolonged applause.I With
starry eyes it looks all over this bay for that
banner that supplanted it, and sees it not.
LApplause.1 You that then, for the day,
were BUNDLED, are here again, to triumph
once and forever. Applause. In the storm
of that assault this glorious ensign was often
struck but, memorable fact, not one Of its
stars was torn out BY shot or shell. APP
plause.l It was prophecy. 1t said: Not
one State shall be struck from this nation by
treason" Applause. The ful6llment is
at hand. Lifted to the air. to day, it pro-
claims, after four years Of war, mot State
is blotted out" tApplause.l
This fact of cheering omen, and the
eloquent language of the speaker recall to
mind the fervent prayer Of Daniel Web.
ster:
"Let their last feeble and lingering
glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign
of the Republic, now known and honored
throughout the earth, still full high ad-
vanced, its arms and trophies streaming
in their original lussre, not stripe erased
or polluted, not single star obsc,Tsd-
bearing no such miserable motto as What
is all this Worth. Nor those other words
of delusion and folly, Liberty first and
Union afterwards - but everywhere,
spread all over in characters Of living
light, blazing on all its folds, as they float
over the sea and over the land, and in
every wind under the whole heavens, that
other sentiment dear to every true Ameri-
can heart: LIBERTY AND UNION. NOW
AND FOREVER, ONE AND ISsEPARABLE !"

EASTERN STOCK OPERATIONS.

Some time since we made some remarks
of the same tenor as the following, which
we quote from the Reese River RereiAs.
We considered them extremely sensible at
the time and in uttering them were sctu-
ated by the puress and most Christian and
patriotic motives. The Virginia Onion
and Old Forbes, however, were seized
with violen, attack of the pipsy-wipsy,
and got after US with such fierce wrath,
and sharp sticks Of such fearful proper
tons that we fed in dismay, and have not
SAID wildcat since. Here is what the
RsrsiHe says:
With so fine an opportunity to swindle as
the selling Of mining shares presents, there
is no wonder that many should attempt the
enterprise. 1t is an old saying that there
is cheating in all trades but ours, which was
probably FIRST said, at least with truth, BY \
printer. Among all occupations, the one pro-
verbally honest, is the miner; so the Wild
cat, and the "salted" claim can not be
charged against him. Outsiders, the wolf

claims, and /" sport on them in San Fran
cisco or the East. We occasionally see no.
tees Of some of these mines, or the pro-
spectuses Of the companies, that are very
refreshing.
The style they have in the East Of inducing
subscribers to shares in mining operations,
very much resembles the advertisements Of
ouack doctors and patent medicine vendors,
and would prejudice one against them ii be
did not know the property. There are enough
good lodes in Nevada to employ the surplus
capital Of New York in their development,
and we regret that the untamed feline
which we had supposed dead, had been re-
animated and was making her victims.
Scientific examiners Of the highes, emf.
nence have certified that there are several
hundred distinct veins in this immediate
neiEhborhood, that are sufficiently developed
to rank as first class mines, and many hum
bred that are not sufficiently opened to justify
an opinion. The very hattering expressions
of amaIement to which these gentlemen give
utterance, conunces Us that the mineral
wealth Of Reese River far surpasses anything
heretofore known. Living in a country Of
such natural wealth, where there Is abundant
scope for legitimate enterprise, it 10 for the
interest of all who would make this their per-
manent home, to discourage all swindling
attempts to inveigle the unwary into purchas-
ing into mines that only exist on paper.
Capitalists who purchase in mines can easily
examine them themselves, or have them ex-
amined BY others.
At such q reinforcement. we take cour-
age. and once more shout Hooray! for
our side :" As our neighbor Of the U"ioH
is the sworn defender Of seat" we look
for nothing less than q fierce denunciation
Of the " sland.rous and "mischisyous "
Rsueize, and an emphatic declaration that
our Reese River friend "don't understand
the subiect." SO

No QUARTER TO SLAvRRY.-Mr. Weed,
in his pungent letter on Mr.. Greeley g
peace propositions, gives expression to
what he considers should be the fate Of
slavery in the following emphatic ssnten-
ces:-
This wanton. internal and terrible war
was deliberately contrived BY and for
slavery. For this great crime there Is no
adequate punishment but in the crush
ing out" of the evil that produced It.
The destruction of slavery is the riShttul
penalty for slave rebellion.
This is the determined purpose Of the
people. Nothing will ever be more GER
tainly dead than slavery, unless it shall be
the individual or the party who shall seek
to give it resurrection.

ROBERT E. LEE.-rhe Chicago Tribune
has the following discriminating notice Of
this over estimated rebel officer and grace
less traitor:
Lee is an average Virginian STAKEHOLDER
in moral character-nothing more. Be-
fore the war his chivalry only became
kdown from the circumstance which went
the round of the press that on one &C.
casion when his overseer at Arlington re.
fused to obey his order 10 administer the
lash to young slave woman who had at
tempted to escape, Lee himself seized the
emblem of slavery and performed thu
ignoble task. During this war he has
not performed single lchivalrous act to
our knowledge. What Unionist In rebel
hands has he befriended: But on the con-
tray, have they not starved under his eyes
and rotted by disease where word from
him would have given them human prisons
and life.stsining foods He is one of the
Ruiltiest Of all the rebel tiends and could
we do 1t lawfully, without breach Of our
own national honor, we would hang him
with patriotic pleasure. As it is, he is
safe. The Turks have executed their
prisoners of war-Moors have enslaved
them-Indians have massacred them. ANY
demand for similar treatment Of Lee by Us
has resulted from want of reflection upon
the obligations we incur by the terms of
surrender.
