History.

What q blessing it would be if people
eyerybOdy-had good memOriee-then half
the excitements Of the time would be
avoided, But it really seems as if the COM
munity had given up both memory and
thinking to the newspapers.
We are talking about soldiers IN Wash
inpton preceding the Inauguration OF
President, az something to be wondered at.
or excused, when it is as common az lnau-
puratious. But we have . case directly IN
point and Of record. % the ninth OF Janu
ary, 1861, President Buchanan sent q spe-
cial NEE sage to Congress, and in 1t occurs
the following paragraph:
at ia said that serious apDrehensiOns are
to some extent entertained, in which do
not share, that the peace of the District
NAV be disturbed before the fourth OF
March next. In any event it will DO my
duty to preserve it and this duty shall be
perfor med"
And this is about al! General Grant baa
said-thst it is his duty to see that the
oeace is preserved and that his constltu-
:ioually elected succ.ssor is installed in
office-that he did not apprehend danger
but that it was his duty to prepare for It
Following this message OF MIR. Buchanan.
the local papers OF Washing 5"n contained
such announcements az the IoiIo"lhs, VI
January 81, 1861:
A snnad of fifteen marines arrived last
night and went Immediately to the bar
racks. A company of about seventy sappers
and miners from West Point arrived yester
dav morning and were luartered IN 20
lumbisn armory. A company OF light ar
tillery frorn the same place will start to
day and be here Tuesday; 1t is bsl'e ~ e,
that they will be quarIert d on Capitol HUI
| 1t is understood that the government VII

tal-one battery of artillery being posted
at the Cspitol-nearly double the mum bel

joe Lottin, Riley Hogshire and Bill Lowe
the eminent peace commissioners who went
down to NewOrleans to see fair count,
fell in with an ex-rebel soldier at Louisville,
ON their way home last Friday, and while
tho two last named were doing in one seat
the rebel engaged Mr.. Loftin in converse
ton. The rebel said he lived in Atlanta,
Georgia, that his name was George Adkin
eon, that he had been over in Mississippi
'hslpipg the boys out" and that he had
found it convenient to take Q trip North
till the thing "kind o blew over" He soon
learned the mission Of the commissioners,
obtained LOftin's name and address and
expressed burning desire to know what
Eve were going to do down at New Or
leans" Feeling that he was with "one OF
EN-" Joseph unburdened himself freely
and said that if the Returning Board didn't
do the square thing by 'em, the boys down
there would kill 'em
20. 1 guess they won't do that, !" responded
the Georgian.
ayes, but they will though. They told
me they would. They will murder EN- sure
a. guns. Why, tell you," said he. warm
ing up to the subject, ''our folks are organ
officer of the Washington Artillery Com.
pany, of New Orleans, took me around and
showed me their arms. They have any
amount Of English rifles, and they'll use
'em, too"
The ex.rebel had doubts ON this score.
and intimated that the boys down there
had had about enough of that sort Ot thing,
and that the Northern men must set the
ball rolling next time.
.Oh," said the confiding Joseph, you'll
| fight quick enough. Why, sir, the side,
walks down at New Orleans are covered
with men just painting for US to commence
| the thing, and if the count down IN Louls
ana isn't square there'll be tronbl., sure
| It will start in Washington. and you may
| bet there won't be false move this time,
The conversation was carried on at length
| in the same strain, and Loftin again ex
| pressed the btlief that the members OF thu
Board of Canvassers would be murdered
thew attempted skullduggery. The talk DC
| Cured bet ween Louisville and Columbus
1t is needless to say that the Atlanta IL
rebel was playing i. on the snsuspectnf

BRIEF MENTION that was formed
Thursday nj ght did not melt yesterday. The
thermometer went down to 29o-three be.
low freezing point.
The great conAsgration of yesterday
should be warning to all housekeepers ard
servants to be continually watching and
careful of FIRE.
The air was go dry and crisp yesterday
that ride in street car was abominable
ss every bit of loose glass or frame work
ratified sharply.
Henry Chase, colored man, who re-
Gently arrived here, yesterday died unex-
pectedly in q house at the corner of Fulton
and Second streets. He was about twenty
seven years old.
A fire yesterday morning was at No. loS
Bolivar street, q two-story house occupied
by Mrs. Barrett and owned by Mrs. Hayes.
A defective chimney caused the trouble.
Tho fire alarm turned In from the corner
of Claiborne and POydras streets, while
the Esplsnade street fire was raging, was q
false one.
At noon yesterday somebody set fire to
the bedroom of Eliza Gates on Foucher,
near St. Joseph street. The damage was
not proat.
