A New and True Story told ofPresideut
' Lincoln. ~

During the summer of the, most disas-
trous and doubtfill year of the late Ameri-
can war, the colonel of; a New ' Hampshire
regiment lliy for some weeks extremely ill
ofcamp fever, near'Hamptou Roads, in Vir-
ginia. Hearing of his critical condition,his
wife left her Northern homc,and, after much
difficulty, made her way to his bedside.
Her cheerful presence and careful nursing
so far restored him that he was in a short
time to be transferred to Washington.

In the Potomac river the steamer‘in which
the invalid officer, Colonel Scott, and h’s
wife had takenpassage, was sunk, in a col-
lision with a larger vessel;in the night time.
The crew and nearly all the soldiers on
board were rescued or saved themselves ;
but amid the horrible confusion of the scene
Colonel Scott became separated .fi'om his
wife, and she was lost. The colonel was
picked up in the water by the crew of _ the
larger steamer, and under his direction every
effort was made to discover his wife,or rath-
er her body, for all hope of finding her
alive was soon abandoned. * The sad search
was fruitless ; it was resumed in the mom-
ing, the people along the shore, humane
confederates, lending their aid. But the
gray,snllen river refused to give up its dead,
and the young oflcer,half frantic with grief,
was compelled to go on to Washington.

 

from below that the body of the lady had
been washed on shore ; that those good
country people, generous foes, had secured
it, cared for it, and were keeping it for him.
It happened that just at that time impera-
tive orders were issued them the war de-
partment, prohibiting all intercourse with
the penisnla,a necessary precaution against
the premature disclosure of important mili-
tary plans. So it was with some misgiv-
ings that Colonel Scott applied to Mr. Sec-
retary Stanton for leave to return to Virgin-
ia on his melancholy duty.

“Impossible, Colone ,” replied Mr. Stan-
ton, firmly ; “no one can have leave to go
down the river at this time on any ,private
mission whatever. Our present exigencies
demand the most stringent regulations ; and
I hope I need not to say that no merely per-
sonal considerations should be allowed to
interfere with great national interests. Your
case is a and one; but this is a critical, peri-
lous, cruel time. ‘The dead must bury the
dead.’ ”

The colonel would have entreated,but the
busy secretary cut him short with another
“impos‘sible,” from which there was abso-
lutely no appeal. He went forth from the
presence, and returned to his hotel, quite
overwhelmed.

Fortunately, he was that afternoon visited
bya frlend, to whom he told the story of
his unsuccessful application and sad per-
plexity, and who inlmediately exclaimed.
“Why don’t you apply to the President 1’”
The-colonel had but little hope, but, ac-
knowledging that the plan was Worth try-'
ing, drove with his friend to the White
house. ‘ '

They were too late. It was Saturday eve-
ning, and Mr. Lincoln had gone to Spend
Sunday at Soldiers’ Rest, his summer re-
treat. This was but a few miles from town
and the colonel’s indomitable friend propos-
ed that they should follow him out, and
they went. ‘

There was then a popular belief that all
the wronged, 'the troubled, and suffering
could find a refuge in “Father Abraham’s”
capacious bosom ; a belief that was not far
out of the way. Yet there were 'times
when overburdened, wear-led, tortured, the
patriarch longed to clear that asylum of his
forlorn inmates, to bolt and bar and double

. lock it against the world; times when life

became too hard and perplexing for his
(genial, honest nature, too serious and‘tragic
and rascally a thing by half. _

It happened, unluckily, that the poor col-
onel and his friends found the president in
one of ,his most despondent and disgusted
moods. He was in his little private parlor,
alone in the gloomiug. He was lounging
loosely in a large rocking Chair, jutting
over it in all directions. His slippered feet
were exalted, his rough head was thrown
back, his long throat bare—he was in his
shirt sleeves. Yes, dear, fastidious English
reader, it was genuine Yankee abandon—
make the most of it. ‘

He fumed upon his visitors a look of al-
most savage inquiry. Therc was, indeed,
in his usually pleasant eyes a wild, angry
gleam—a something like the glare ofa wor-
ried animal at bay. I
' Colonel Scott proceeded very modestly to
tell his story; but the president interrupted
him, to say brusquely, “Go to Stanton ; this
is his business.” '

“I have been to him, ‘Mr. President, and
he will do nothing for me.”

“You have been to him, and got your an-
swer, and still presume to come to me i Am
I tohave norestf no privacy 1 ‘ Must be
dogged to death by inches ? Mr. Stanton
has done just right. He knows whas he is
about. Your demands are unreasonable,
Sir.” '

“But Mr. Lincoln, I thought you would

feel for me.” p ‘
“Feel for you 1 Good God! I have to feel
for five hundred thousand more unfortunate
than you. We are at war, sir; don’t you
know we are at war? Sorrow is the lot of
all ; hear your share like a man and a sol-
dier.” . _ ,
“I try to, Mr. President, but it seems hard.
My devoted wife lost her life fer coming to
nurse me in my sickness, and Icannot even
take her home to my childre ”

“Well, she ought not to ha e come down
to the army. She should have staid at
home. That is the place for women. But

necessity, in matters like this.”

plished.

As for your wife, she’s at rest, and I wish I
were.” '

Saying this, the president leaned back
wearily in his chair, and closed his eyes, not
noticing except by a slight wave of his
hand, the departure of his visitors.

I am not ashamed to confess'that my be-
ro tossed restlessly that night, upon a pil-
low wet with manly tears, that he was des-
perate and resentful, utterly resigned to the
decrees of Providence and the War Depart-
ment, and that he thought Abraham Lincoln
as hard as he was ugly, and as inhumane as
he was ungainly.

Toward morning he fell asleep, and slept
late. Before he was fully dressed; there
came a quick knock at the door ofhis cham-
ber.and he opened it to President Lincoln !

The good man came forward, pale 'and
eager tears glistening in his eyes, and grasp-
ed the colonel’s hand, saying, “I treated you
brutally last night. I ask your pardon. I
was utterly tired out, badgercd to death. I

“This is very good for you, Mr.President,”
said the colonel deeply moved. I

“No, it isn’t; but that was very bad of

GBA'ss LAKE, Mich, Aug 26, 1809.
DEAR GAZETTE :—Here we are at the
West,—and yet, not West, so fast in the
present age, does that mythical. point flit
from place to place. Still, if not at the West,
we are in a new and quite different app'ear-
ing section of country from sturdy old Con-
necticut. There, the country is so hilly and .
rocky, that it does not seem hardly possible
for the farmer to get back the seed he sows,
and is cut up into small lots of a few acres,
while here, the great rolling plains, without
rock or even stones, are laid out in magnifi-
cent fields of 20, 40, 60 and 80 acres each.
And now, in these days of steamboat: and
railroad cars, how easy the transit from one
section Of our country to the- other; not
much trouble now. to shift ones family from
the East to the West. Our little family
started on Wednesday morning last in the
Nelly White, thus reaching the great mew
tropolis without becoming wearied by the
heat and dust'of railroad travel in the com-
mencement of our trip. Stopping awhile
to do a few errands, we took the 5.30 p. in.
express of the Erie Road, and slowing our'

selves and little ones in one of their really

magnificent sleeping coaches, enjoyed a

comfortable nights rest and a safe passage

over Ihe notable “ Delaware division,” and

at about noon next day reached Bufi‘alo.

Conductor J aekman, a perfect gentleman

and a model conductor, on leaving, gave us

some good advice as if) [visiting Niagara

Falls.

Having a little time to spare, and noticing
the adv. of Dr. J. G. Barbour, a former Nor-
walk dentist, we called upon him and found
that he was preparing, alter a four years so-
journ here, to return to Norwalk to live.

His wife being unable to stand, the winters
here, is the cause of this step. He will

probably be among you before we again see
old Norwalk. “ '
Early in the afiemoon we went abrard of
the British steamer Ivanhoe, which connects
at Fort Eric on the Canada side of the Lake,
with the Great Western Rail Road for Ni-
agara. We thus obtained a splendid view
of this lively port with the city for a back-
ground, and had an enjoyable 'sail on Lake
Erie. For people in a hurry and who yet
want to see as much as possible, we would
recommend this route. We had a splendid
view of the Falls from our seats in the cars,
then took a carriage, went the rounds,
crossed over on the Suspension Bridge, on
and'around Goat Island, then to the New
York Central Depot, and were back. to Buf-
falo in time for the Steamboat Express on
the Lake Shore Road. .

The Lake Shore Road we found to be
a very pleasant, easy riding road, but did not
like the sleeping cars near as well as those
of the Erie. We passed through NORWALKv

Cruise of the Neptune Club.

 

SOUTH NORWALK, Aug. _31, 1869.

MESSRS. EDITORS z—Haviug returned safe-
ly home from our Neptune trip of pleasurt
down east, we, as a Club, desire to acquaint
your readers and also our friends, with till
pleasant events and circumstances, that how
transpired during our late cruise of clever.
days. What we do, what we see and hear.
ought to be as interesting to yourselves as t(.
us. We all anticipated a jolly good time.
and as we set‘out for it,'have it we would.
Our wind waslight, going out of the Har-
bor, but about half past eight o’clock, a good
breeze sprang up and we were soon outside
the Islands, bound for Nantucket. Th4.
“doings” of the first night out begga 3 de-
scription, as Neptuues all will remember.
Night was “hideous,” certainly. Toot horns
were above par, and I am positive, b.2101:
decks, and anything whereupon a rear, 3
squeal, a how], or rattle could be made, was
brought into requisition. “ Powers.” was
with us, and do any wonder at the noise we
were able to make? But the procession
stops at Bunk No.— where young “ Nep”
lays. Blow they did, pound they did, play
they did, hollo they did; but he lay and
“crow”-.—ed over his little deafness, laughing
in his sleeve awhile, and finally saying “ go
ahead with your thunder, I can’t hear it.”
Such was “ Giles” who did certainly “ Mug—
gius” the old Neptuues, the first night out.
We give him “ fifteen” for that, if he can do
it again, “Fuller” he shall be, and “I know
it.” Having a good wind we refrained from
going over to see “ Nathan” and “ J emey,”
being rather late also, as they were probably
to “ roost.” Tuesday afternoon found us at

.anchor in New Haven Harbor, ofi‘ Five Mile

weather. Growing tired of wandering from

Messrs. Bal'io and Prince, where we were

BOONSBORO, Iowa, Aug. 19, 1869.
DEAR GAZETTE:
“ There is a chain in existence
That defies the strain of distance:
A bond unafi'ected by clime
That gathers no canker by time.”

Of course I mean, intelligent good will,

when heightened and purified to Christian
Fiendship. That chain reaches from Fair-
field County, Conn, to Boone County, Iowa ;

am witness. .
Although, as you know, our chief work

they are tender and tearful With flm mem- here is in the field of Zion, we recognize the

Never was such a harvest gathered in

Iowa as stands now on her prairie planta-
tions, yellow in the shock: and never was
harvest more opportune anywhere-unless
to relieve a famine.

Eor the last fortnight, every where the

eye turned, the scene was glorious with
waving grain, and noisy with cluttering
reapers, “ McCormick,” “ Buck eye,” “Man-
.ny,” “ Marsh”—every variety of harvester;
busy, at its own peculiar speed and click;
threading its lane between stubble and grain. ‘
More acres are in crop than ever Iowa knew
before; and the yield per acre is equal to

the best; Yet the crop is this day in mortal

peril. No full day since the harvest, has yet
been give? the grain in the shock to dry

Last year the-grasshoppers devoured our
crops so effectually that despite their mani-
fold advantages (in a region where a man
must‘not own and enclose land who is un-
willing. to bear the responsibility of wealth)
our farmers ever since have been on short
allowance of ready money. You may read-
ily imagine with what eyes of desire men
look to this harvest.

Two lines of railway are now open from

connecting Iowa with either ocean. Part-

It is now at Corning, Adams Co. Also a
fourth viz. the Dubuque 85 Sioux City Rail

us, rapidly approaches completion. All

mmnANCE.

Agriculture and commerce, 'wheat fields
and railroads, are expressions of society,
concerning its dinner and driving. How it
behaves in these, suggests Temperance.
Just how there is a third party. movement,
which is the slow chrystalizalion of a deep
long pent conviction in many minds that
whatever you may be doing East, we .of the
West, are driving very fast in the direction
of a grand general drunk. The beer leak in
our Iowa law is grown so large it practically
lets through, not lager only, but every vile
concoction of the still and brewrary: ad libi-
tum, ad museum! We, as republicans, are
loth to create the breach which an
onward rush would necessitate in our lines;
and yet as Christians we are pained contin-
ually with the shameful truckling of our
people to the whisky ring. Hence the "third

party."-

in the party and fun, coming away after a
While in our' small boat. Brother “Spinning”
gave them a song or two which pleased the
party a great deal, especially an old Neptune
or I should say “ Old Salt” in top boots up
to hls chin, and something on his head,—
well—nt all events we called him “ Old
White Hat,” half sens over—who sat on the
bridge to hear our “German” sing, and who
come near tumbling into the water so pleased
was he with “ Mrs. Johnson.”" We wen
kindly invited by him to take a. “ smile,” but
proud am I to say not a man responded- 12
being supper time we left for the ‘Ackeu"
and in the evening went ashore again, on-

' tered the bowling alley and while the “ Pi-

oneer” and several other “ Tats” were bowl-
ing, the singers serenaded the “ Hotel.” We
had rather a novel dance in the afternoon
that out ped 1“, outside the “ Alley.” “ Hul-
ty Cunk Youngs” engaged after, some diffi-
culty, a pair of “ Horses” for a dance, and
between the horses, himself, trees, Alley
cucumbers and qnoits, (which game our no-
ble Chaplain helped to ofiiciate) he camc
near being “ thrown.” His represerltatiox
of " Robinson Crusoe”'encased ina“basket’
(wicker work,) and roaming the shore for
clams for the Commodore, was sublime.
However, old as he may be, he is “Young”
yet. After singing at the “ House” an hour
or so, the proprietors invited every Nep-
tune into his dining room,and we very soon
made the acquaintance of some delicious
Ice Cream made by the ladies of the House ;
alter expressing our thanks through the
Chaplain and Commodore, we gave threc
hearty cheers for the Grove House and its
proprietors, and left the grove.

Wednesday morning, 8 o’clock, found us
weighing anchor and heading once more
East, wind increasing steadily; at a meeting
held on board it was voted to stop at. Cuity
Hunk and fish a couple of hours ; but reach-
ing that place Wednesday night, we con-
cluded to proceed to Nantucket as wind and
weather were favorable, arriving at 10.45
a. in. Thursday. Forming in line of battle
(two ranks) with the weighty Pioneer, Lester ,
at our head, meat axe over his shoulder, con-
tinental coat, brass buttons, and broad
brimmed hat, on we marched through the
town saluting in turn the the “ Enquirer and
Mirror,” Adams House and Ocean House,
returning to the Boat for dinner. Parties
were immediately made up for fishing on
the following day, Friday, and the'aflernoon
was enjoyed in seeing old acquaintances.
The “ Alumni Festival” wound up with a
Grand Ball in the evening, which was truly
grand; a more beautiful sight I never be-
held. The floor of the Tent was covered by
a select company which would have done
credit to some of our cities and towns of
more wide-awake nature than Nantucket.

Friday morning the “ Neptune Bulletin”
was posted by our Commodore, bright and
early. . “ One dollar to the man thaa‘
catches the largest blue fis .” The dollar
was “ nibbled” at by a number of fish, bul
“ Fuller” was the one who took a good
strong bite and the gold piece was his——
“ Where would I be l” he would exelaim, if
I had not went fishing—feebly the answer
comes from a distance, (Sunuyside Cottage)
“ in a box.” The next in order in the after—
aoon was supper at 5 o'clock, prayers at (3
o’clock, and presentation of “’l‘ to Neptune
Album” to Mr. Joseph B. Maeey, of Nan—
tucket, who has always received us very
kindly on our trips to the Island. We had
a full meeting, and remarks by our Commo-
-.lore and Chaplain, and reply by Mr Macey
were made to the point, and time passed
agreeably. At 8 o’clock a Concert by the
Neptune Quartette, was given at the Athae-
neum Hall. We had a goodly attendance,
and all seemed satisfied with the entertain-
ment. The Fireman’s Glee was acted out
well by the “ Young” men of the Club, in
Fireman’s Shirts, &c. The receipts of the
Concert were $54.00, for the benefit of the
Grand Army of the Republic. At the close
of the Concert we repaired to the Adams

House, and spent the remainder of the eve-
ning in singing, conversation,_ &c., and all
were well pleased with the reception.

At one O’clock Saturday morning we set
sail for the camp ground, arrifiug there
about noon. Many of the members visxted
the School Ship Massachusetts lying oft
shore. The commander showed us through
the Ship ; had the pleasure of meeting Gov.
Clafiin while on board. General Butler and

any idea, on paper, of the beauties of the
grove in which the Comp Meeting is held
during the month of August in each year;
of the fine cottages built for solid comfort
and cujoyment,ioremost of which in our
memory is “ Sunnyside" at which a kindly
invitation Was given to us to make it our
head-quarters. There we met“ The Hutch-
insons”to Whom the Neptunes will ever
make themselves known, in whatever part
of the landihey meet them; pleasant mem-
ories are not‘soon forgotten. Sufllce it to

yard Camd Meeting. Saturday night, about
midnight, we had a very hard easterly wind
storm. so that we did not feel safe at our an-
chorage. “All hands on deck 1” brought
those ofus who were asleep, out of our bunks
in a hurry, Our“ Commissary” must have
been in dream land—as it was he that
aroused us. In a few minutes we were
scudding before the wind, sea breaking over
our bows at every lurch; in half an hour
we were safe in Holmes Hole Harbor, where
we lay at anchor all day Sunday. The
steamer William Stress, running from
.Iolmes’ Hole to Camp Ground, touched lat
our vessel on her way out and in—which
was a great accommodation to our members.
Sinday the Club went out in a body to
meeting at the grove. heard a good sermon
preached from the text, “ He was despised
and rejected of men.” Monday morning we
started for Edgartowrl, arriving‘about nine
o’clock; from this place a party went out
blue fishing but (lid not have any good luck.
Al the hotels in the place were full of
warriors, and there seemed to be no change
sinCc my last visit two years ago. “ Sea "
Shell,” of course, was on hand. We met
)ur old friend “ Vincent,” of the “ Vineyard
Liuzette,” whom we were happy to see. The
" Long Bridge” is there still, and the spot
where the then Vice Commodore Lester had
.l tumble about an hour before daylight, two
years ago. In the evening we gave a Con-
cert at the Townflall, and a Steamer, char-
tered for the purpose, brought over 88 per~
sons from the Camp Ground, under eom- '
sound of friend “ Brown” to hear us; all
were more than satisfied and went home
contented. I may possibly except the 88, '
who, until 11 o’clock that night had no sup‘
per. Our Commissary,“ old boy,” was on
hand as usual for anything to eat. Hearing
that the “ party” could not be accommodated
at the Hotels with supper, he set himself at
work aboard ship. Fires wore out in the
galleys, all quiet on board, but soon was
bustle and hurried feet on deck, andbelow
decks. Thirty-five dozen eggs were cooked
all there were in Edgartown; hot buscuit
Kt pt pouring down both hatchways, and
everything in our stores was freely used to
show our friends our appreciation of them.
.50 well satisfied were all with the supper,
hat a loud call was made for the Commis-
any who could get up a supper in so short
I time and nOtiee. The ladies wished to
have a glimpse of the man capable of such
.1 deed. I warn him tobe careful, or another
.nedal he shall have. One hundred and filly
,_)ersons, composed of the party, our own
members and Edgartown friends, were fed
)ll' our craft that night. Can our Commis-
sary be beaten? No, not by a (little brown)
1115; full. *

The march on the dock after supper be-
.1in fife and drum will be remembered by
ill. Spinning was'a‘round and “ Mrs. John-
.on” was nowhere. Tuesday morning and
.ve had another'Concert at the M. E. Church,
)rgan and Choir, compesed oi the Club
.ztlartette and “ Hutchinsons”.which' seemed
.o heappeeciated by the small audience as-
~cmbled. As we were to leave at noon for
no Camp Ground but a little time was left
.0 try the Baptist Organ,.whieh has been
lately put in. After going to the vessel we
found we could not get out of the Harbor
lntil two o’clock, so we thought it worth
our while to have a. game of croquet with
.he “ Merchants” of the town, and repairing
.o the ground, in the boiling hot Nun, we
fought it out on that line until the Steam-
Ooat warned us to be up and doing. Chap-
rain and Fuller can play, in the game no-
.lody “ muggins”—draw game. Next year.
we think the Edgartown friends will see us .
.nore than one day in their Harbor.
Arriving at the camp ground we found
something astir; ateight o’clock, p. m., our

.Jy our friends for a concert. While we
.vere singing in the open air, many fair hands
were providing a sumptuous repast in the
Chinese lant-
erns were hung throughout it, and after con-
cert an invitation was given to every Nep-
tune and lady, (and those without any would
.le supplied), also, those who parlook of the
supper on board the Acken the night he-
:ore, to repair to the table, and no two Nep-
tunes to sit together; Then came fun,
speeches, 'songs, down went the watermel-
ons, ditto peaches, etc. “Youngs,” of Bos-.
ton, could not make a speech in consequence-
of a bad cold; “he couldn’t speak a loud
word any more.” “Big Six” was full—al-
most wild ; his German ran into “so‘urkrout”
and “lager beer,” &c., and finally overcome
with excitement, '“he wanted to go home,”
and when repremanded by the Comodore he
would vent his wrath on the assemblage by
giving them “fits” in a Dutch speech.
Members of trip of 1869 will never forget,
unless memory fails us, the reception on that
Tuesday night. All honor to‘ Youngs,
Brown, Hills, Fields, 'and others who gave
us the collation. After the supper we ac-
cepted an invitation to Mr. Hills’ house On
the “blufi‘s,” where we were entertained in
fine style. At 1 o’clock, Wednesday morn-
ing, we turned our faces homeward, only.
too‘sorry that time would not allow us more.
fully to get acquainted with our new made
friends; many a one we have made on this '
trip of ’69 and none have we lost. Wednes-
day afternoon found us at Block Island,
where we stopped a few hours to fish; a
party went ashore with the Commissary to
procure milk. We all thought that he got
the cream, for while friend Haviland tugged
away at the “handles,” Commissary chatted
with the “lady” of the ’ouse. O‘ur Chaplain,
also, seemed very dry, and notbeing able to
liscover the spring pointed out by the lady,
was compelled to take a pilot. The croquet
game in front of he “Spring House” was
reed. Fuller and the SW “likedthcm mal-
Eés.” The sail from Block Island was fine.

Saybrook Light, wind 'blo‘wing heavy, and
{hiding that we did not make much headway
on account of wind and tide, we put about

from there at 6 o’clock, a. m., Thursday, we
had a fine run home, arriving inside Gregoi

think this trip caps all pr‘ 'ug ones,'noth-
