Mr.. Lincoln Decides on Emancipation,

Mr.. Lincoln Decides on Emancipation.
Before reading the proclamation the Presi-
dent again said he felt the great responsibility
of the step he was taking, both to himself and
the country. 1t had oppressed him, and not
till all other measures and expedients failed
had he come to the conclusion that
this element, which was arbitrarily
used against us, must be brought into the
Union cause. Having reached that conclu-
sion, his decision was fixed and una terable.
The act and all its responsibilities were his
alone. He had prepared the paper which he
was again about to read without Gdvice or
assistance-had pondered over it for weeks,
and been more confirmed in the rectitude ei
the measure as time passed on. There had
been moments when he felt awed and over
whelmed by the gravity and magnitude of the
subject and of what might follow, but his
way was now clear-he knew he was right.
Among other thing, he said in subdued
tone, he had looked to Higher Power for
aid and direction. He had made VOW that
If God gave us the victory in the impending
battle he would receive it as an indication OF
the Divine Will that it was his duty to go
forward in the work of emancipation. In a
manner half apoogetic, he said this might
seem strange, but there were occasions when,
uncertain how to proceed-when 1t was not
clear to his mind what he should do-he had
in this way submitted the disposal OF a sub
ject to Higher Power, and abided by what
seemed the Supreme viii. Events at Sharps-
burg had confirmed and strengthened his
original purpose in regard to emancipation
and he had no hesitation in issuing this pre
liminary order; the States interested woul(
decide for themselves as to its consumma
ton.
This was not the only occasion when h,
manifested the peculiar faith or trait her,
exhibited 1t was doubtless to be attributed
IN great measure to the absence of early
rellglous culture-a want of educational adj
yantages in his youthful, frontier life. In the
wilderness OF Indiana fifty years ago there
were few churches, and only an occasional
wandering preacher furnished the sparse pop
ulation with rude religious instruction: Al
though his early opportunities for religious
improvement had been few, there was deep,
seated within him a feeling of dependence and

An item is going the rounds stating that
Detroit sailor refused to ship ON board ves-
sci after seeing a rat swim ashore from her,
and that the vessel went down the very next
trip. The real facts of the case are that the
sailor saw a hundred rats, as well as pile of
snakes, and was taken to the hospital to re-
cover. The vessel went downtown to To-
ledo, making one Of the quickest trips on
record.
Mansard, whose roofs are the subject of so
much obloquy at present, was superintendent
of public buildings in the reign of Louis XIV.
1t is told of him that he possessed to re-
markable amount the power of subtle dattery,
which he used to practice with great ingenu-
ity upon the King. He would sometimes
submit plans, portions of which were pur-
posely made so impracticable, not to say alb
surd, that the King could not help detecting
and pointing out the inconsistencies, where
upon Mansard would declare that if His
Majesty had not been King he would have
made frst-class architect, blaming himself
the while for having made such blunders. 1t
is not stated whether the famous roof was
one of these latter, nor whether the King
took fire at it when it was shown to him.
A Detroit man wants to sell patent pistol

sportive pup. They got along well enough
until pup spied the cane, and going for il
started on promiscuous run around chairs
and table legs with it between bis teeth. The
doting father remembered the fatal effect of a
slight pressure on spring, and with rare
presence Of mind succeeded in throwing the
children down the cellar stairs and placing
himself on top of the sideboard before the
thing went Off The ball only broke hun

slight scratches in jumping through plate

The Worm at Work.
ton County

The cotton caterpillar has made its ap'
pearance on James Island. There are two
separate broods, which are scattered thlnIy
through every field. In 1868, when the cat
erpillars injured the crop seriously, they did
not show themselves until July 16. The
present showery weather adds to the danger
OF the situation, and makes the prospects OF
the planters exceedingly gloomy.
1t is reported that the caterpillar is al
work in Florida and Texas, as we'll as in
Alabama, and there is reason for Tearing
that the growing crop will be cut short. The
Bulls and the Bears will do well to remember
that the cotton crop is not made until 1t is
picked, and that the most critical months o.
the year are not yet begun.

Unhappy. Boston.

Hepe himself never ridiculed the uni

For this reas SOD, doubtless, the attempts to
make fun of Boston and its Jubilee have
been failures. You can't bellttle Boston.
Like space and the universe, it is too big.
Not everything nor everybody in Boston is
big, but an atmosphere OF bigness surrounds
the smallest thing and person there. The
Common is not 80 large as an ordinary Caro-
lima cotton patch, and the Pond is mere
puddle without the mud; but think OF their
histories and the public opinion OF Bosto'
mans about them! What continent is q Cir
cumstance compared to their Common
What ocean is more than drop beside their
Pond beloved?
But the Organ is undoubtedly big; the
Coliseum is big, and the Jubilee is big-a
big failure. So vast failure could have oe-
Cured nowhere else than in Boston. 1t is C
failure pecuniarily and artistically. That is
the sore thing. Bostonions care nothing
about money; but not to succeed in mere
matter OF art-ah there comes in the gall
and vitriol. For if the Hub OF the Universe
fail in 80 simple thing as music, what
next? Is literature sale? May not the irate
gods decree the downfall OF the Atlantic
MontAlys The Gospel, according to Boston,
must follow, and then comes night, chaos
and good deal OF botheration. For the
Universe cannot spin its little wheel il the
Hub be hurted. Nor, in that event, can the
wisest man tell where the spokes will fall.
We are sorry for Boston, and will do all
we can to help her. Let her not be down.
