took more enlightened and comprehensive
view of the condition of the Republic. His
opinions were formed with deliberation and
study. They were published, and have
no hesitation in saying that few publ; wri-

His words were noble, patriotic and just
They ere in the interest Of christian civil.

the Constitution Of the country.


But IL such were his words, what shall be
said Of his deeds! He gave not only his in
fuence and his powers of persuasion to the
preservation Of the Republic, but he gave
that manly form and those vigorous powers
and offered up his life in the sacred cause.
Few men have warmer hearts or stronger
domestic attachments--his home was the
dearest place on earth to him-but he babe
idieu to all, and took the sword for the sal
vation Of the imperiled Republic. His pa

his bravery and daring in the final struggle
at the stormins Of Donelson that cost him
his life--are familiar to you al, and have
passed into the record of history. And now
his memory ,henceforth shall be treasured IN
every loyal heart. His example and his
death shall give new sacredness and honor
to the cause in which he fell martyr.


Capt. Cloutman went forth to this conflic.
from sense Of duty, and with the clearest
apprehension that he was taking his life in
his hands, and with the expectation thai he
would be called to the sacrifice. But his
faith never wavered. His courage never
faltered. The very language Of the great
Apostle expresses the feelings that swelled
his breast: II am now ready to be offered,
and the time of my departure is at hand
I have fought good fight, have finished
my course-I have kept the faith" The
cause Of christian civilization, of human pro-
gress and Of liberty is sanctified by his
death. The blood Of our martyrs, as in the
earlier conflicts Of christianity, shall be the
seed Of the church, and purer and bright
er age shall be the heritage of the future.


With these memories and these thoughts
and with the consolation and support of our
holy religion may the bereaved family find

 The Doctor demurred to this, saying they would not disturb Mr. Lincoln, but would call again Michael persisted that it would make no differ ence, and bolted in with the cards. In few minutes the President walked into the room with kindly request that his friends would be seated. The Doctor expressed his regret that their visit was so ill timed, and that His Excel lency was disturbed whilst at dinner. 70! no consequence at all," said the good natured Mr. Lincoln { Mrs. Lincoln is absent at present and when she is away, generally 5roUse around.

the intensest blackncss of perfect night"
Of all the agents concerned in the trans

the water were extracted from her wither-

almost entirely composed of water.

At no time within the ten last years
has there been so many inducements for
the breeders Of horses to double their ef-
forts to produce animals of this class as
now. There are many reasons which


have led us to this conclusion. For some
four or five years past horses have gener-
ally brought less prices in the market
than for four or five years before and
especially is this true of medium and Or
diuary animals, and consequently less
nun Der than usual has been raised for
two or three years. During the last ten
months almost the entire country has been
ransacked for horses for the army, and
there being stagnation in most kinds of
business, and not the usual demand for
horses for other purposes, those who had
such us were not absolutely needed, have
sold them for army use, and the country
is now pretty well dreamed Of good ami
mails. They have gone to the war and
to hard fate, which but few of them
will survive and find their way back
again at the end of the war, which we
pray God may speedily come. Some will
be killed in battle, while many more will
die from i'll treatncr neglect. and expos

of all kinds of business will speedily fol-

ed for to engage in tie peaceful pursuits
of life. In any event there must be q
demand much greater than can be sup
piled, which must inevitably operate to
raise the price of all classes Of horses
much higher than has been known for
several years. or we entirely mistake the
indications of the times We can think
of no branch of stock busbandry that
promises to pay so we'll for the next few
years as the raising of good horses-and
no man can at any time afford to raise
poor ones. 1t costs just as much to raise
a mean. worthless horse as it does to pro-
duce a good one. A good horse will al

subject will fail to see at once that the
present is most favorable time to extend
his means of raising good horses as a.
