No wonder that President Lincoln, whe

came among them unheralded, without

The following .striking portrait ef the
President We find in the Northern Wing Of
Belfast. in Ireland; and wo can hardly be
mistaken in attributing i, to Professor John
Eliot Cairnes, Of Queen, College, Galway,
the author of one OF the most valuable
books upon our history ever written, 'The
Slave Power" and one of our most effective
foreign friends. In the earlier months Of
the war Professor Cairnes, in series of
most trenchant and unanswerabls articles
under his own name in the London Daily
News, utterly demolished several of Ihs
Southern secession leaders who tried to ar
que with him the question of the war in its
economical and political aspects:
'Mr. Lincoln is one of those historic
characters whom Carlyle, in the better days
of his earlier and saner genius, would have
loved to sketch. Among the mon who have

Andrew JOhns0n's Speech on

Upon the reception in Washington of the
news of the fall of Richmond, on tie 5th
inst, Vice President johnson was serena
ded by the jubiant people, and made
speech to them Of great force and power, in
which he laid down the treatment he con-

and masses. In view Of Mr.. Lincoln's un-

Robert 4. Lee.

That the general satisfaction with the
surrender Of Lee should beget kind feel
ing for the rebel General is not unnatural.
But it is a great folly to invest him with
any romance. Robert Il. Lee may be an
honest man, as doubtless many Of the reb-
els we're, but beyond that he has no claim
of any kiud whatever upon tie regard Of
the American people.
His story is very briefly told. Educated
an army officer, be acknowledged the doc
trine of State sovereignty and, honestly
holding it, he followed his State when she
seeded. Nov even if man believed that
his State had right to secede at her pleas
ure. If he thought the occasion insufficient.
as Lee confessed be did, he would silently
acquiesce, and no more. But If the scca-
sion we're Infamous, If the object of the sx-
ercise Of State sovereignty at such enor-
nous peril TO the lives aud happiness Of his
fellow citizens were nothing but the perpe-
tuity of human slavery. noble and gener-
GUS man would have protested with all his
heart. Robert E, Lee offered his sword.
From that momeat he has been an active
soldier His military skill has been much
oyerrated Stonewsll Jackson, his Lieu
tenant, achieved his most famous successes.

ignominious failures. No man can be held
guilty of a want Of genius. But will thoss

In rcply to many letters and inquiries from

columns Of your paper, that our renowned prep
aration, knowh as Goes Dyspepsia Cure, is GER
tain cure for Dyspepsia, in its worst stages
Many cures OF long standing, within our own
acquaintance, have boen completely, and We be-
icve permanently cured. 1t will stop distress
after eating almost instantaneously, and enables
the dyspeptic who has lived for years upon Ora
ham bread and the planest diet to eat as heartily
as he plcases, and anything he chooses, without
danger OF distress, or soufing, or rising on the
stomach 1t is an infallibe corroctor of indigss-
zion and constipation, creates healthy appetite,
stops sick headache, heartburn, sickness at the
stomach, pans, cramps, or cholic in either stom-
ach or bowels, and swcetens offensive breath, as
soon as you take it, and by enabling the patient
to take plenty Of hearty food, (which is the pa
rent of health" produces vigor, strength and
energy. In every trial we have known, il has
speedily oradicated Dyspepsia with all its attend
ant suferings, weaknesses, debility and loss of
power, giving instead proper activity and tone
to the stomach and organs of digestion, and as
we confidently believe, and rs the published Ger
tifcates in our circulars, almanacs, and in many
