IN Iu1v IT, upon receiving message from General
~ Meade explaining somewhat in detail the move
ment of his army and OF the enemy as Tar as ne cod

near nv desk, which he frequently consulted, and
pointed out that 1T seemed to him that the enemy

was proposed to be made, the enemy had indeed
escaped across the river.
On the seventh of the following August, while
alone in office, Mr.. Lincoln came in, bringing
a long message which he had written with his own
hand, addressed to Governor Seymour of New York,

about Boston minister who had been drafted, and
the criticism he made upon that method of recruiting
the army. This message proved unanswerable,
and the draft proceeded had previously been

Perhaps as popular a story as any that have been
attributed to Lincoln is that referring alleged

Grierson's Famous Raid

ONE morning after General Grerson's celebrated
~ raid, Mr.. Lincoln came in and as the rad was the
most important recent military event, 1t was made
the subject of conversation. Mr. Lincoln remarked
that it was a most extraordinary movement. Grier
son started into the rebel lines at Memphis, and
nothing heard of him for nearly three weeks,
when he arrived safely at Baton Rouge with his
command, having done serious damage to the Con-
federate railroads. machine-shOps mills, etc, along
his route The President said it reminded him of
story he heard, of a person who had run
needle into his hand and never knew anything of it
again till it of of his feet, fifteen years
afterWard.
