Lincoln Said the Song Became the Property
of the North.
Noah Brooks, in the May Century, closes
his personal "reminiscences of Lincoln. Writ
ing of the receipt of news of Lees surrender,
MIR. Brooks says:
Z" As the forenoon wore on, an impromptu
procession came up from the Navy-yard, drag
ging six boat-howitzers, which were fired
through the streets as they rolled on. This
crowd, reinforced by the hurrahing legions
along the route, speedily swelled to enor-
nous proportions, and filled the whole area
in front of the White House, where guns
were fired and bands played while the
multitude waited for speech. The young
hope of the house of Lincoln-'Tad,' made
his appearance at the well-knoWn window
from which the President always spoke, and
was received with great shouts of applause,
whereupon he waved a captured rebel flag,
to the uproarious delight Of the sovereign
people below.
"When Lincoln came to the window short
iy after, the scene before him was one of the
widest confusion. 1t seemed impossible
for men adequately to express their feelings.
They fairly yelled with delight, threw up
their hats again and again, or threw up one
another's hats, and screamed like mad.

surface of that crowd looked like an agitsted
sea of hats, faces, and arms. Quiet being
restored, the President briefly congratulated
the people on the occasion which called out
such unrestrained enthusiasm, and said that,
as arrangements were being made for a more
formal celebration, he would defer his re-
marks until that occasion; for said nc, l

band should play it, which was done with a

began along the line-ofbattle as far on
our right as McCulloch's Division, Nc.
Intosh led his brigade of Confederate
cavalry out from an open field to oul
right hand, partly under cover of q
skirt OF timber. He charged Col Bus
sey's Brigade. Orders to open fire from
our commanding officer came clear and
distinct, and were promptly obeyed,
causing great many Johnnies to bite
the ground. Gen. Mcintosh was
ONE OF THE FIRST TO COME DOWN.
The losses were pretty severe on the
Union side, the most sustained by the
Sd Iowa Cav. Had it not been for the
cool head and moral courage Of Col.
Bussey, il would have been much worse.
Within one hour came the news that
Gems. McCulloch and Reins, each COM
manding a division of rebel forces, were
killed while fighting at the head OF their
commands.
About noon, when the Confederate
forces began TO see their hne-ot-hattle
depleted by great loss, together WITH the
killing of three of their best Generals,
they became somewhat demoralized. The
Union forces, taking advantage Of their
wavering lines, advanced upon them,
and forced them back in the direction
of the ola tavern stand, Oh the main
road, where they held them until the
morning of the following day, the Sth,
when the battle was renewed from both
lines with terrific force, at 10 o'clock
q. M, when Gen. f. Sigels Brigade,
from the west side, came upon the
ground, taking part in the battle; and
in less tban an hour, the rebel lines,
that had been so stubbornly and sue
cessfully held since the morning Of the
9TH, were broken, completely routed,
and fed in the direction of BentonyiiIe
and Indian Territory.
This ended what was considered the
great battle Of the Southwest, victory
for tie Union army, commanded by
Gen. S r. Curtis, the gray-haired old
veteran, who gave the boys in blue to
understand, when he came riding up to
Elkhorn with his staff, after the smoke
of battle had disappeared, that he was
well pleased with the result, amidst
rounds Of hearty cheering all along the
line
