The Conspiracy to Murder Lincoln
How his Life was Saved.

The Boston AduertiSer mentiops that Mr..
S. l.. FELTON, has furnished q very curious
and interesting piece of history TO General
Schouler's history Of Massachusetts in tho
war. Mr.. FELTON,, a brother of the lato
President Of Harvard College, was in 1861
President of the Philadelphia and Baltimore
Railroad. His statement places beyond all
doubt the fact that there was an organized
conspiracy to prevent (even by murder, if
necessary the Inauguration of Mr.. LincoD,
and to seize Washington, and make il n
seat of the Southern Government. How
Mr.. FELTON, ferreted ont their secret, how
he got at the very heart of the neiarious
plot, orgaIized a loyal police of armed
whitewashers 10 protect the long and
numerous bridges, warned General Scott of
the danger that threatened Washington.
apprised Mr.. Lincoln of the perils in his
way, and managed TO get him out OF Har-
risbnrg while everybody supposed that he
was spending the night at Governor
Curtins; how he contrived to delay the
regular night train from Philadelphia, and
also the Washington branch train, Under
pretense of important dispatches. which
dispatches were huge, stalled bundle of
oil pamphlets, aud thus made it possible
for the President TO 20 through without
the suspicion that would attend an extra
train how, early in tine evening, he cut
all the wires leading from Harrisburg, lest
some malignant OF busy infofmer getting
track of the illustriOus traveller, should
through them "pratc Of" his where.
abouts how he thus carried Abraham
Lincoln tlropghto Washington. and prob.
ably saved a life oi iuesiimqblo value this
and much more Of similar Importance and
interest may be found in Mr.. FcltoB's
thrilling narrative, and must impress all
generous minds with lively sense ol adj
miration and of gratitude. et

BY THOMAS HOOD.
One more unfortunate,
Weary nf breath,
Rashly importunatc,
Gone to her death
Take her up tcnderly,
Lift her with care;
Fashiun'd so slendvrly,
Young, aud SO fair!
Look at her garments
Clinging like ccremcnts,
While the wave constantly
Drips from her clothing
Take her up instantly,
Loving, not loathing.
Touch her not scOrnfully
Think of her mOurnfully, Sind.
Gently and humanity
Not of the stains Of her
All that remains Of her
Now is pure and womanly.
Loop up her tresses
Escaped from the comb, ....
Her fair auburn trcsscs;
While woudermcut gucsscs
Where was her home2
Who was her father2
Who was her Rothcr?
Had she a sister?
Had she brolher2
Or was there dcarcr one
Still, and a nearer one
Yet, than all other 2
Alas for the rarity
OF Christian charity
Under the sun Frr
q, it was piiInl
Near whole city full,
Home had she none.
Where the lamps quivcr
So far in the river,
With many a light
From window and easement,
From garret 10 basement,
She stood with amazcment, 5'H
IIouseless by night.
The bleak wind Of March
MaGe her trcmble and shlvcr;
But not the dark arch,
Or the black flowing river;
Mad from lifes history,
Glad to deaths mystery,
Swift to be huIl'd, BASS
Any where, any where
Out of the worldI rf .Ert,s &
In she plunged boldly,
No matter how cOldly
The rough river ran;
Over the brink of IT,,
Picture it, think Of it,
DisSolute man! orf'
Lave in it, drink Of it i

Take her up tendorly,
Lift her with care, tr.

Can't BE CoUETED.-The Day Book
says the task Of counting out the dollars,
at the rate of one dollar a second, or sixty
a minute, which would discharge the two
thousand FIVE hundred millions Of public
debt of this country, would consume over
two hundred years, if attempted by a sim
gle individual, and he could live to ac.
complish it. To cancel this debt would
require, at the rate of cancellation now
going on, the labor Of six millions of OPP
e~ratives over two thousand years ; and
then it could not be done, for we are not
wiping out any portion of it the present
year, nor do we bid fair to. The operation
of this "blessing" has been splendid for
all the Jay Cooke tribe. Millions per
year have gone from the many poor into
the pockets Of the few rich.

THE FUTURE OF VIRGINIA.

&E&&&
That the mother of CommonweaIthsv
old Virginia, great yet in her ADVERSE
ty, is to recuperate, rise up and PROS
per in the future, there is no doubt
Her natural advantages are immense :
in climate, location and resources she
is not cxcelled. Her products arc va
ried and her lands attractive. Emil
grafton is going into her borders, not
only from the North, from PennsyI-
vania especially, as we have noted
heretofore, but also from the South
An exchange says:
"The Virginia newspapers indicate
a movement on the part of South Car.
olinians and residents of other South
ern States to remove northward, with
the view Of escaping negro suprema-
cy. In Virginia they find the whites
already in the asccndancy, and plans
are on foot which point to large &C.
cessions Of population in that State
from Southern sources. The great OBJ
stacle to migration on an extensive
scale is inability to sell where they
are and to buy where they propose TO
go. Partly to meet this difficulty, ef.
forts appear to be making in Virgins
to induce the offer of liberal terms by
landed proprietors ; and these efforts
are not unsuccessful, if we may judge
by the reported arrivals of new set
tiers from points further South

Nor PRIvILEGEp.-Not one of the
papers which are so full of d~enuncia-
ton of the project to pay the bond
holders in l~egal-tender greenbacks,
have any thing to say against paying
the farmer, the mechanic, the laborer,
the soldier and pensioner in green
backs. That is all right, for none Of
them belong to the privileged class.
The bondholder being better than the
rest of the community, must alone
have gold for his debt. What an ad.
vantage it is, to be sure, to belong to
those persons who have this exclusive
privilege.

POLITICS IN RGlNIA

Tho Conservative State Convention Of
Virginia metal Staunton on the 7th inst,
and nominated Col. r. u. Withers for
Governor. The following is an extract
from his speech on accepting the nomina.
ton
Gentlemen of the Convention, / have
just stood upon the ruins OF Sumter and
looked at the wreck which the war has
caused there. / have summoned around
me in imagination the gallant spirits Of
the dead who lie sIumbering 80 thick
around that fortress. | have looked at
Charleston, SCARED and battered and
laid waste by shells; and there, too, l
recognize the awful hand Of war. l came
here to Richmond, aud saw 10 the black.
ened walls and ruined edifices-only
partly restored-the full impress Of that
same destruction. But not the ruins of
Sumter, not the wreck of Charleston, nor
the des0lation here, affords q fitting type
for tho distraction and the utter horror
with which my mind is impressed when ]
consider the effect Of the adoption Of this
proposed Constitution upon the interests
and happiness of tho people of Virginia,
[Applause. As well may you expect
the beautiful Corinthian columns lying
amidst tho dust aud rubbish and fast
crumbling to decay the stately cdifices
which once adorned its capital, to be re-
placed by the miserable, crowded novels
Of the Hottentots, as the handiwork Of
the Fathers of the Rcpublie-tbe fathers
Of the constitution-replaccd by this
miserable patch work which degradcs the
name of constitution. [Applausc.

~ELEvATING THE INDIANS.

We notice, says the Council Bluffs Bu-
gle, that q set Of philanthropists. so.called,
in tho city Of New York, have organized
o company for the purpose Of elevating the
Indians of the West. If those so.called
philanthropists know as much about Indi-
ans as we do, they would save themselves
the trouble of organizing for the purpose
indicated. Tho Indians have lived so
long by hunting and in comparative idle
ness, that no effort that these New York.
ers can mako will elevate them in a moral
or intellectual point of view. With one
or two exceptions, wherever the Indians
have come in contact with tho white race,
they have become demoralized by adopt
ing the vices and neglecting tho virtues
Of the white race. There is one way Of
eleyating the Indians which we approve,
and in tho adoption Of it rests, in a great
measure, tho security OF the whites in the
far of western settlements. We propose
to elevate them by means Of a rope when
ever they can be caught. II the New
York philanthroplsts desire to show their
philanthropy, they should do it by join
ing US in our mode Of elevating the Indi
aus, that tho white race may be made sc
cure against the murderous attacks ofth'
poor Indians, so-called.

The Salem Record says that an oak tree
has been discovered near that place, which,
in its slow and patient growth has enyeloped
the antlers Of a deer. Perhaps in those
Olden times, when the native sicash had it

since-an Indian killed a deer and placed
the antiered skull in the tree fork. Slowly

CRors AT THE SoUTH.-In the Southern
States we learn that corn and cereals are
coming up finely, and also that cotton plant
ing is propitiousIy progressing. The great
want of the South is feed, and if the pres
emit year yields a rich harvest there, the
teeming earth will do more for econ struc.
ton than Congress can, for q good harvest
will lift a starving people from o state Of
despair, and give them courage, and endur.

GRANT AND WAsuBuRSE.-Tfc cell
ebrated Minnesota pugilist, DonnclIy,
in his recent "mill' with Washburne,
said he could not account for the fact
of Washburnc and Grant having Iiy-
cd in the same city, save upon the
theory of "compcnsation"-Gcd hav-
ing given the good people of Galcna
the ''big" man Grant Ia compensate
for the little man Washburnc. Had
Donnelly been a reader of history
the oil mar Grants history of his
boy "Ulyss"-hc would not have at
tempted such a pointlcss witticism.-
Old Grant says that "Ulyss" had
tried farming, the commission bnsi-
ness, and almost everything else, and
was growing poorer every day; and
to prevent his becoming a vagrant, he
finally took him into his leather store
Mt Galcna. And he has been n 'lcath.
crhead" ever since. The old mans
testimony relieves God of all rcspon.
sibility rs to Grants residence in Ga,
lena, and he no doubt feels himself re
sponsible for the other calamity.

CosT OF IMPEAcnMENT.-The New

printing of the tickets of admission to

than $4,000. The expense Of the trial is
set down at near s400, 600. Certain wit.
pcsses cost the country $1,000 cach.-
Gen. Rousseau netted some goo, 600
good job. The sum of ten cents q mile
and ten dollars q day, was allowed for at.

to make the taxpayers of the country
