Abraham Lincoln. Rev. Thkodobi L. Cuylkk, of Brooklyn, New York, distinguished clergyman and writer, in a letter to the New York Exangelitt, thus corn -mJjkujHn the late President: The central figure in this era of American history in Abraham Lincoln. The roost familiar and the mosb beloved form to oar people ia that long, lank, sad-fami, ungainly man who floated into Sangamon County, Illinois, in a canoe, and thirty fear later went out of that county 'resident elect of the Uuited States! This generation writes his name beside George Washington's ; posterity will "write it above all American names. There is no European name of this era that shiues with one-half the lustre.

Nq face is so familiar to the whole nation as that thin, melancholy, cureworn visage those sad eyes that lookad like deep wells of sorrow, those shaggy brows crowned with a massof black tangled hair "piled up at random." 1 find his photograph on every parlor table, policemen say thr his lirliotfranh httUlTH Ull among imjtiHst and race horses on the walls of FKe. Points drinking duns. Hewant avnresseti the estimate of one olassjjt the community when he said, "Mr. Lincoln is the best man I ever knew';" the eatimutp of the other classiwas given by one of Tammany's unwajshed Democracy, when he exclaimed after reading the bulletin of the ajMseinatiou, "Well, Uncle Abe was if bully old fellow after all." I.ifoolna phyiqut whioh was as remarkable as his mind has been attempted by scores of artists; but, to our fancy, no one baa so successfully reproduced it as our old neighbor, Mr. F. m Carpenter. In his picture of the " First Heading of the Emancipation Proclamation," the portrait of the President is well uigh perfect. The portrait of the Cabinet are fine; but tin are, after all, mere accessories to the central figure, and, alas! tomr of those characters in the group re already passing into the penumbra. of a melancholy eclipse. But Mr. Carpenter has done a highOr service yet to Lincoln's memory than to portray his face. He has Eoitrmyed the inner man as well, in is little volume entitled "Six Months at the White House with Abraham Lincoln." No work that has yet appeared has given us such an interior view of the great Liberator; It is even a better book than if it had been written by a more eminent author. It is just an honest, homely photograph of the plain, unvarnished, child-hearted republican who united in himself the shaggy integrity of Oliver Cromwell to the gentle tenderness of Florence Nightingale. It presents to us Lincoln as he was, no more, no less. "Paint me as I am," said Cromwell to Sir Peter Lely, the artist, "or I will not give you a shilling." Mr. Carpenter knew that Mr. Linooln could afford an equally truthful portraiture of his daily hie, his unpremeditated talk, and even his pithy Sleasantriea: so he has written it all own as faithfully as a sunbeam paints a daguerreotype. As we lay down this most entertaining volume, we are more than ever Krsitaded that Abraham Lincoln is, us far, the most remarkable native outgrowth of our American soil. Washington Was bom iu British colony, and bad some of the traits of the colonial aristocracy. Webster received the polish of classic and of foreigu culture. But Lincoln is throughout the tyna man of our shrowd, practical, solt-helpful Western demooracy. Lincoln's head was as noble as his heart. In him common sense did the work of genius. Napoleon's test of ability was a simple one, 'who did all that? ' We apply this teat to our late beloved President, and ask, who in modern daw (thieved more than A brahaui Lincoln? Who ha done a mighty life-work better than he? The man who rose from a log-cabin to ths Presidential chair, who tnade the Cooper Institute address and thu Gettyshurgh funeral oration, who uttered, that seoond luaugvral with its sublime and tender pathos, who led a vast Repub lic through Us wilderness of conflict and confusions With a patience that never gave way, a faith that never faltered, and a sagacity that never com mitted a serious error, was a man who has no superior in all our American annals. We do not claim for him a profound philosophical mind. We do not claim for him a brilliant genius. But We do claim that when the Al-mis-htv made Abraham Lincoln for our great national crisis, He did not make a mittake. Alas! what a havoc in a country's hopes that assassin's bullet wrought! Booth's pistol did a more devilish work than Lee's whole army. When will we even . get beyond the shadow of that bereavement? Some time age we went through the White House at Washington nud it was as sorrowful to us as a cemetery. We looked in UPOU that recent ion room where WO saw Lincoln's tall form for the last time at a presidential levei. We sauntered over tho by-path by which he so oltcn went, nt midmo-nt to thn War Office eager to receive tha latest intelligence before be laid down to his uneasy coucn. The whole house and grouuds wore filled with his great presence yet. A Scottish king, iu the heat of a battle, was wont to cry out, " O for one hour of Dundee!" So, iu this trying period of our uatiou't conflict and peril, we do miss tho serene patience, tenderness, wisdom, magnanimity, and loyalty to freedom of our loBt martyr, that we often arc ready to exclaim, .0 for one hour of Abraham Lincoln! U

THE EVANSVILLE DAILY JOURNAL.

Prom the Washington Chronic!, Nov 1. Governor 6. P. Morton. This gentleman, now Governor of the great State of Indiana, will, as we ee by our exchanges, be a candidate before the next Legislature of tnt State for United States Senator. As Governor, he has so wielded the great influence of his position during times of trouble without parallel in history, as to make him in some sort a public possession. We trust, therefore, that he will, if he desire it,, be placed in a position so fitted to his great UlenUj and services as that of Unitod States Senator, on the voluntary retiremeut of Hon. Henry S. Lane from the chair ho has so ably and acceptably filled. -'. In the darkest hour of the slaveholders' rebellion Governor Morton stood like a rock " for the flag." He held the great State of Indiana true to (hat sacred symbol ot freedom. When the " politics" of the so-called Democracy in that State became little better than a conspiracy of assassins, when beaten every where at the ballot box that party turned to the pistol and the midnight conclave -the final ur Sumenta of traitors how heroically id Governor Morton meet and vanquish their gathering elans! how did be put. to flight the cabals of traitors! I it not Written in the history of his Contest with McDonald in I H.I ' Mr. Lincoln said in the fullness of bis great heart, when that contest was decided in favor of the couu try, " This kettle th question: this gives to the Government the only, doubtful State, gad carries its great influence to the aide of the Republic." This triumph drew the eyes of the Nation upon (Jov. Morton, which have ever since watched his career with admiration. And while his enemies hated, they also feared him. From all good true, loyal people he has won only golden opinions. Such talents, suoh patriotism, such devotion, pan not now be spared from the service of the whole country. We trusty therfr, that the Republican Legulature soon to convene in Indian ajtoh, will crown the tpleiulid triimph of the )th of October hy placing Governor Morton, in the Senate of the United State. Happily, however, a We believe, there it out one opinion among the loyal men of that State at t the man fvr the pun , . We have written this because we.bcllevcitevpretten the tentimentt of all loyal men outtide of the State of Indiana. " ". i-'UMMJ MISCELLANEOUS. IVew Cloth House. BIKNKV riLDMAI. Joii a. raaxa. H.

INmutely connected with the history rla Medlea ill the United WUil.es, or more lavomuly known as a pioneer oi medical discovery, thau that of DR. JOHN BULL, of Louisville, Kentucky His Inimitable pre Duration of Harsaparllla has long stood at Hie liotul of tbe va rious compounds of that valuable drug. His Compound of Wild Cherry nas be come a household word tnrougiiout me West aud South. after their Introduction, attained a repulalion as wiue-npteau as tue comment oi North America.

Ji in a belief with them that while there is breath left in tbe body the CEDRON Is potent to cure, no matter What the disease mar be. wnne nr. null is not prepared to indorse this extravagant pretension, he is never theless satisfied, from a thorough examin ation of the evidence relatlug to Its virtues, that as a remedy and preventive for all lug from exposure, either to changes of weather and climate, or to tbe Miasmatic influence, It stands without a rival, aim jum tj- oeserves me reputation it nas so long enioyeu in t enirui America and the West Indies. in DYSPEPSIA, and its attendant train of symptoms, it acts more like a oharm than a medicine. There Is nothing In the range of Materia Medlea that can for a moment bear a comparison with it In this disease. A full account of this wonderful plant may be found in the eleventh edition of the U.
