THE ASSASSINATION OF LINCOLN.
Scene in the Barracks When the Long
Roll Was Beaten.

Editor National Tribune: On the
evening of the assassination the Ma
tons Capital was Illuminated and a
great display of fireworks was given.
The famous Marine Band was giving d
concert on the White House grounds.
The CopDerheads had all crawled into
their hiding places, and everybody else
was rejoicing. Everybody was happy,
singing, shaking hands and congratulate
ing each other over the disappearing
cloud of war that had for four years
hung like black pail Of darkness ever

of the Regular Army had a smile. The
volunteers were making noise enough

of each other the enemy faltered, broke
and retreated across the creek, followed
by several riderless horses. To reach
the enemy we would have to cross the
creek in column. This would give him
q great advantage. He appeared to be
double our number. Our young Lieu
tenant did not hesitate, but reformed
our line, that had lost its alignment in
the charge, and ordered us to sling car
bines, and draw sabers and had given
the order "Foufs right" when Col.
Harnden galloped up and took in the
