THE WAR’SJEGINNING. i
LIFE IN WASHINGTON JUST AFTER
THE INAUGURATION OF PREIDEN T
LINCOLN.
I
——
A STORY TOLD BY CASSIUS CLAY.
Correspondence Fhiladlpbia Timee.
Washington, Oct. 10.
One of the first acts of the ad
ministration of President Lincoln i
Was the superceding of the diplo
matic representatives of the United
States at foreign courts, in order to
put a stop to the intrigues which it
was known were being carried
on to the prejudice of the establish-1
cd government and in the interest :
of the rebellious South. Among
» I
the first of these appointments was
Cassius M. Clay, of Kentucky, |
commissioned just twenty-fourdays
after the Presidential inaugura
tion.
The following autograph letter,
written by Gen. Clay to Major!
Ames, ;» retired officer of the ar
my, and recovered from a mass of ■
private papers, presents an interest-.
ing picture of the condition of •
things in Washington the first few
days after Mr. Lincoln assumed the
reins of government and also sheds
light upon his supereedure at St.
Petersburg by Simon Cameron.—
The letter rea ls as fo.lows :
Dear Sir : In response to your
letter of Dec. 10th, iB6O. In the
spring of 1861, I being appointed i
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister <
Plenipotentiary to the Russian gov
eminent at St. Petersburg, was
awaiting with my family, at Wash
ington, my instructions, when the
I . S. vessels were sunk in the Ches
apeake and the railroad and tele
graph communications with the
North were destroyed by the con
federates.
As soon as I learned that the !
ships were sunk, I knew that the ■
war was begun.
It was near night and the omni- I
bus was standing at the doer of
Willard’s Hotel, going to the Bal
timore depot. I ran to the rooms
of nn family and tejd them ~10 geU
at once into the carriage or the}’
would be left and after that they
would not be able to get out of
Washington. They did so, leav
ing their clothes and trunks un
packed, and setting out, awaited my
arrival in Baltimore. That, as 1
anticipated, was the last car that
left the city.
For nearly thirty years I had
discussed the slavery issue in Ken
tucky and elsewhere, and I knew’
from long observation and the v awed
designs of the slaveholders that
W’ar was inevitable, and I so stated
in many speeches trade in the
Presidential canvass in 1860 in Illi
nois, Indiana and Ohio. I at
once went to General \\ infield
Scott’s headquarters in Washing
ton and asked an interview. He
granted it hut his military staff
tin n present, hearing my request
fur a private correspondence anil
not retiring, 1 asked tiie General
into another room, but they also
followed and refused to retire. As
1 then had reason to believe there
’ was treason in the army, I refused
to say anything, and, telling the
’ General 1 would call again, 1 re
tired.
In the quadrangvdar court of the
yard of Willard’s 11 del was an
i»lg theatre wViv-h had bvvh disused
and was then turned, I believe, in
to an occasional church. It <'om
) municated with tho main h »tel by
a passage and door and also open
ed upon rhe street in rhe rear of
rhe lu use.
The hotel was full of gm st>,
friends and foes of the Union. I
consulted with such as I knew to
be true to the old fl - 4g and they
agreed with me that the President
and other otiicials of the govern
ment and the capitol were in dan
ger, of being captured.
We began immediately t<» or
ganize a volunteer force for de
fense. I was phuad in the leader
ship. I received hut those I knew
to be true*, and gave the watchword
and introduced them into the old
theatre. This nucleus took others
in. All were brought to my pri
vate room, enrolled and sent into
the common quarters. vVheti the
"enemy found our what was going
on, they attempted to bully me.—
Three gentlemen, one a notorious
person from California, finding me
alone in my room demanded ad
mission into my corps. 1 asked
upon whose recommendation,. and.

CARROLLTON. GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER?, 1884.
i they answered insolently, up- ;
;on their own. I kept two revol
vers upon my bed in the next room
i going in cafne out with one in
! each hand, and ordered them to go
' out. They slowly did so, buttheir
I chief rolled some balls jn his hand,
and then put them in his pocket,
as much as to say “We’ll give you
these; very well, we’ll meet you.”
Again, as I stood at the door of •
1 our quarters as crowd of our
force was entering, an unknown
face presented itself. I challenged
him for the watch-word and not
having it and still advancing to
entei, I leveled my pistol at his
head, told him it was revolutionary
times and I would shoot him. He
I then retired. The names of all my
j corps were taken down; very distin
guished men they mostly were, gov
ernors, senators, judges, etc. As I
soon went off to Europe, I don’t
know what became of this list.
, I was more fortunate in another
' call upon Geeeral Scoot. I gave
him my views and got hii consent to
arm my men, which he did, for the
moral effect, sending to my quar-
I ters to get arms to arm his house 1
; hold rather than make a requisition
I himself. In the moan time Sena
tor James Lane, of Kansas, had
also raised volunteers. We united
pnr forces for drill and action. As
’ I had most, I was made chief and
he the second. After being organ
ized, a’•med and drilled my force;
slept in the theatre ready for ac-
, tion.
I
A guard each night was set over
the President’s house, We were
all called one night to the govern
ment barracks, below Washington,
on the Potomac river, expecting an
assault—but we were not attacked, j
As 1 anticipated, the. capture of j
Washington, as it appeared later I
in the war, was the design of the 1
rebels. I knew they were in force
lin the city. I gave out to
i a man whom 1 knew favored the
rebel cause though a professional
; friend, in confidence, that probably
I next day Scott would declare mar
tial law and that manv would be
captured tried and shot.
| The ruse had its effect. That
l night hundreds if not thousands
left Washington for Virginia.
Willard’s hotel, which lately was
I full, was so vacated that the pro
prietors took up their carpets and
took down their curtains, with a
view of closing their house.
I But my absence left me unable
to sav what was done. So soon as
1 the regiments from New York and
1 Massachusetts came into Washing
j ton, our volunteer force was dis
' solved. Lincoln, through the Sec
; retnry of War, gave our body
! thanks for patriotic services and
presented me with a Golt’s pistol, i
which 1 proudly preserve in my '
family. Charles Sumner and oth- j
ers insisted upon my taking the ;
post of Maj. General of Volunteers |
'in the United States service and
his views were backed by the “Un
ion safety committee,” of New
York. But I declined because
Scott was old and as my rank
! would have placed me above Worth
. and Wool, veteran regular gene
| rah. I did not think myself quali
tied to supercede them, as I had
1 onlv served as a captain in Mexico,
I was only colonel of uniformed vol-
I unteers in Kentucky and had no ;
regular military education.
Sumner and I, who had always .
1 j been especial friends, were some-,
what alienated by my refusal to en
> . ter the army, and I soon set out
1 for my mis4on t I went out as far
as I could on the Baltimore Rail
road, but it was relaid and I had
‘ no means of conveyance from "W ash
1 ; tngton, so 1, in company with an
I i editor from Cleveland (Cowles I
think.) set out on foot and by night
for Annapolis, where Gen. B. F.
Butler was n command of the un
ion forces. After a Jong and fa
tiguing walk we concluded to stay
ali night in the house of a faruter.
We were well received, took our
supper and went to I ed. My com
panion had imprndentlv given
<ur names. I was well known all
over the slave stabs and 1 thought
it w. uld be a probable thing that
our host would rally the neighbors
and take me prisoner.
So soon as all was quiet, leaving
iuv companion asleep, I set out for
Butler's headquarters and reached
there after daylight and was wcK
corned. In my’ haste I had left
my cravat at the farm house, and
my triend, the General, gave me
one of his own, which I kept many
year* as a memento of my night
escape from the enemy’s lines. In
the tail at '6:* 1 was recalled by
Seward, Secretaiy of State, to give
place to Cameron. To satisfy me
for this hostile act, which Lincoln
wa- made to believe was my’ own
desire, I was made Major Gem ral
of Volunteers and returned to the
Unite ! States in 1862. 1 again
finding that many’ skilled and expo-
generals were in the field,
and finding, also, that Stanton was
against me. as he was against all
the old anti-slavery men, returned
to St. Petersburg, where 1 remain
ed till ’69 under Grant Johnson
and Lincoln, being near nine years
in foreign service. When it was
: found that I would not acquiesce
in setting the blacks over my own
race I was denounced as failing in
duty, because I did not enter the
army, by the New York Tribune
and other papers, themselves being
civilians and doing the same thing
I was a politician not a military
man, and, though I rendered some
service in the army, I was more
efficient in statesmanship, keeping
Russia the onlv power in Europe
actively on our side. That my
judgement was correct it proven
by the ill-success of all the civil
military generals, which piove,
once more “ne sutor crepiuam.”
“Let the shoemaker stick to his
last.” So I got. no credY f..r any
thing I did, though no man risked
more than I in civil or military life
for the great principles which are
now established in the Constitution,
by which the Union is made hom
ogenous and the rights of ail men
of every nation and color made
equal before the law.

Shoi-t Talks With The Boys.
BY M., QUAD.
A boy in lowa, writes as fol
lows:
“I am greatly interested in your
“Talks with The Boys.’ In some
ot them yon have spoken of the
boys of twenty or twenty-five
years ago. I take it you are old
enough to tell us something interes
ting about the boys of that period.”
Well, my lad, I wish a dozen
times a week that I was a boy of
to—day, but never once do I wish
.to be set back to the boyhood of
I twenty-five years ago. I presume
I there was considerable difference
1 between the boys living in cities
and those dwelling in towns or
living on fauns—l mean in the
matter of diess and privileges, but
it was lonesome enough to tie a
boy anywhere.
What was home? Well, the
very rich had carpets, cane-seat
chairs and a melodeon and “kept a
hired girl,” but the commonly well
off people had rag carpets on the
parlor floors and the others went
bare. Splint or flag-bottom chairs
were thought well enough ami the
dollar-chromos of to-day would
have been considered fit for the
parlor of the richest man in the
village. Wall paper had scarcely
been heard of and all furniture was
of the plainest description. All
the beds of those days had cords
j and a straw tick, and all hoys up
jtol4or 15 years of age slept in
j trundle-beds. It was seldom that
i a common family lighted more
i than one caudle of an evening, and
this furnished the light for all. It
was something extra when two
candies were allowed, and the sight
of three or four burning at once
in one house would have cieated
the greatest astonishment outside.
It was the way all people lived
—simple, economical, and without
; heed for socety,or fashion, but it
1 was terribly dreary compared to
vour homes of to-day.
What was our living? One meal
I was almost the counterpart of an
other. In a village of five hun
dred inhabitants perhaps three
families could live on wheat bread,
but it was “johnny-cake” with all
the rest week in and week out.
I
Fresh meats came at ra-e inter
vals, and halt pork filled the gap.
The average meal was jal.nny
cake, salt p<*rk. potatoes, apple
“sass,” a very crude sort of pie.
i and weak tea, <>r barley coffee.
1 Mimi yon the children got no
warm drinks, and though almost
everybody kept ac >w the milk
was saved lor pudding While
ic.ittei was not more than 6 cents
! per pound, the children were ex
pected to eat gravy in p'ace of it;
and while eggs might be had for
5 cents a dozen, they were looked
. upon as a luxury. Up to the
time when a boy was 14 he had
no chair at the table, but stood up
to eat. It was a rare thing for a
young person to give a party or
I ! for young people to be found at
lectures. The rule was to force
! * them into bed soon alter dark. At
. the age of 15 I had never seen a
, I show of any sort, Nor had' any
[ thing of the kind ever been in the
! village. Had there been one every
I I week it would have dona boys no
goud. Not three out of the him
dred I knew could have raised a
i I
[ dime to pay his way in, or would
| ! have been allowed to use the mon-
ey in that way.
How did we drc c s? Weil the
oldest son had rather the best
show. Father's worn-out clothes
were ripped up, died over and
made up anew for him. The rest
of us had to take our chances when
a “store order" was traded nut. j
Every mother was a tailor and she
cut the clothes according to her
own ideas. The pantaloons might
be too short, but never too long.
If the coat happened to fit it was
all right; if not the boy had to ,
wear it just the same.
It was considered a sin to let
boys wear boots- or shoes during !
the summer. Therefore from |
May to October all boys went ,
► barefoot, even to church. A pair
of cowhide boots were good enough
for anybody's boy, and a eixsshil
ling cloth cap fitted him out for
head gear.
What amusements did we have?
In the towns and villages the boys
had their games for Saturday :
afternoon, but during the
rest of the week were expected to
put in their spare time at the wood
pile or in the garden. On a farm I
jt was not more than twice a year •
that a boy got a half a day off. It j
was considered sinful to dance and i
I singing was not much encour
i aged. If a boy had any musical i
talent lie had more enemies than
friends. The idea of most parents
seemed to be to prevent their boys
from having a time. If a lad could
not be loaded down with enough
work to keep his spirit# in check,
there were plenty of women in the
neighborhood to tell him to his
face that they expected to live to
see him hung for murder.
As to family government, the
old-time father was supposed to be
infallible. He could not take his
son's life, but he could come very ,
near it and escape censure. The
boys were not requested but order
ed, to do this and that. I can re
member many fathers who made
it a practice to keep “gads” in the
house. About once in so long
they made a trip to the woods to
cut blue-beech and hickory switch
es, and these weie laid by to sea
son. The boy who did not receive 1
a “licking” once a week felt that
something dreadful was about to
happen in that community. It was
considered the correct thing to
“tan his jacket’’ on general princi
pies. Many parents reasoned that
unless a boy was thrashed about
once in so often he would be pretty
certain to go to the bad. I can
not remember of a case where a
boy did not stand in feur of his
father.—Detroit Free Press.
Beginning and. End.
The progress of dishonesty
is not hard to trace. The only j
safety of character is in resisting
the beginning of evil. There are
three hundred and sixty degrees in
the circle of a cent as well as in
the circle of the equator —and so
is there as much dishonesty in a
boy’s theft of a cent as in a man’s
theft of a thousand dollars. Two
pictures below will illustrate this.
Here is the beginning:
A schoolboy, ten years old, one
lovely June day, -with the roses in
full bloom over the porch, find the
j laborers in the wheat fields, hid
been seat by his Uncle John to
i pay a bill at the county store, and.
there were seventy-five cents left,
and Uncle John did not ask him for !
«• !
At noon his boy had stood un-i
der the beautiful blue sky, and a j
gieat temptation came, lie said j
to hiu self, “Shall I give it back, i
or shall I wait till he asks for it? j
If he never asks, that is his look-|
eut. If be does, why, I can get I
it again." He never gave back the
money.
The cm ling: Ten years went
by; he was a clerk in a bank. A
package of bills lav in a drawer, I
’ and ha J not ! ecu put in the safe,
lie saw them, wrapped them up
in his coat, and carried them home.,
He is now in a prison cell; but be
set his feet that wav when a boy,
years before, when he sold his lion-1
e*tv for seventy five cents.
1 That nignt he sat disgraced, and
Jan open criminal. Uncle John ,
was long ag<> d. ad. The old home
was desolate, the mother broken
hearted. Tin* prisoner knew what
! brought him there. —School Jour-|

The following incident is rela
ted in a European paper as having
occurred in Prussia. A switch
tender had just taken his place to
change the track, in order to turn
a train which was in sight, so as
to prevent a collission with anoth
er train in an oposite direction*
At this critical, moment, on turn
ing his head, he discovered his 1
little boy plaving on the track of
the advancing engine. He might
spring to his rescue and remove 1
him safely but then he would not
have time to turn the switch, and '
hundreds of lives might be lost by 1
. J 1
his neglect. In an instant his res
olution was taken. “Lie down!” 1
he shouted to his boy, and the
child happily accustomed to obe
dience, promptly threw himself on
the ground, and the whole train
thundered over him, the passen- 1
gers little dreaming how much
their safety had cost that father.
The trembling man rushed for
ward, fearing to find only a man
gled corpse, but no words can ex
press his joy at. seeing his child a
live and unharmed. The next
day, the king having heard the cir
cumstance, sent fvr the man and
presented him the medal of honor
for his heroism.

Mammoth Papers.
Newspaper publishers, when
they feel so inclined, can easily
humbug the public by the issue of
what is seemingly a large edition
of from four to six and as many as
a dozen sheets. Th°se ‘mammoth’
papers are fraudulent and an impo
sition. They are sent out as speci
mens of ‘enterprise,’ when really
they should be treated as shams.
Any publisher of a newspaper can
order stacks of what is known as
‘plate’ matter from the junk deal
ers of large cities like Chicago and
Cincinnatti and palm it off on an i
unsuspecting public as original and
enterprising. Another fruitful
i humbug that, has happily, seen its
day, is tl e ‘illustrated’ sham.—
i Dealers in junk and cheap corres
pondence to lender their wares
more salable have got to illustrating
, them with cuts, generally of prom- I
j inent poisons and not nnfrequently !
lof events and localities. These
; abominations wore eagerly sought
after, at first, by some of our kad
| ing papers, but they soon dropped
them and the market for the stuff
. is chcifly among the papers of (pies- i
tionable circulation and in indiffer- j
standing.—Exchange,
‘•ls it Right Father’
i In a pleasant suburb on the sun- ,
side cf London, there lived a mar- I
j ried couple whose early life had ■
been passed in a very busy district j
of the borough of Southwark.— I
They were fruiters, and had from
year to year carried on their busi
ness without ever thinking of the ■
! Sabbath. One great trouble had
i clouded their lives. Out of a
family only one child had survived
beyond the first two years, and
little Annie would mo-t pr« bably
have Jain beside her little broth
ers and sisters in Norwood cenie
; tors, but that she had been - sent
down to the coast of Sussex, to an
aunt who lived there, and who not
1
only had to rejoice in seeing the
little sickly blossom consigned to ‘
her care grow into a blooming, I
active child, but was successful in
teaching her little charge some ,
divine truths, that, when received
into the mind, fill it with heaven- I
ly liglrt. Annie was both in body .
and soul, a heavenly child. The
parents naturally pined after !
darling, was likely now to be their I
their only treasure. Mr Richards,the !
father, took a house a few miles i
from London, and having establish
cd his wife there, brought his little
girl, now seven years old, home to 1
be the joy as well as the treasure '
of the dwelling. On the very first'
Sunday after the childs return she ■
came down stairs, thinking that |
her father was going to take her
with him to church, as her aunt |
had done. He kissed her kindly I
and to her surprise was going'
away.
“Where are you going father?” I
she said.
“Ob, I'm going to business, j
child.”
“But it’s Sunday, father.”
“Yes—yes I know that my dear, '
but I'm obliged to go. I’m very
sorry, but I .must—now don't cry. I
I will be .home early, my child.
“But is it right, father?” sobbed
little Annie. “Is. it, riixht, fath
er?”
“Is wha|sTight?"
“Why, going to work on Sun
day, father.”
“Right—l do not know. It is
hard, that I know; but I must go —
I must go.”
He kissed the little girl's wet
cheek fondly, and with an uncom
fortable feeling that he never felt
before, he set off toward the ci

“Is it right, father?”—the words
kept ringing in his ears. He could :
not silence them. He felt that if 1
he had told his child yes, ho would i
have uttered a lie--taught his *
innocent child a wicked lesson.—
No, it was not right. Was he, .
then, to keep on doing wrong when
his little child had by her question \
cOfTfictbd him? j
For hours that day these thoughts
troubled him. The words, “Is it
right, father?” vibrated through '
him until he was brought to say,
“No, it is not right; and God help
ing me, I will give up Sabbath
trading— I will-”
He got home in time to hear : *
Annie say her evening prayers: ;
“Make me a good girl.” ‘ Ah,'
child, ’ said Mr Richards, inter-.
rupting her, “say also, c Make fath-,
era good man.” ’ The simple ’
words were uttered, the loving kiss |
given. It was the father’s turn
n>w to wipe the tears from his ■
eyes. From that day he dos'd i
his shop on Sundays.
“ We shall have to leave our now ,
little countiy dwcllinir,” said the;
timid wife. But tjiey had not to '
leave. They prospered more than i
ever from that time forth.
“I like to deal with tradesmen;
that keep tiie Sib bath,” said one
of the most respectable of the dis- '
trict where bis shop was; “for, if j
he wih not cheat his own con
science, he will not cheat me.”
And he still lives to testify, as
he has often done, “My little
girl tuned me from Sabbath break- 1

A Nose Eaten Off.
i A young man named John
■: Naves, living near here, had an cat- *■
ing cancer on his face, which had
eaten away nis nose, part of his !
cheek, and extended up nearly t. i.
his eye. It was one of the most I
angry eating sores that I had ever I
; seen. His rhroat finally bic uiie 1
, involved to such mi extent -hat he I
‘ could only swallow liquid food.— i
After using all the remedies with- j
out checking the ravages of the i
eating cancer, his general health I
j was broken down, he was confined I
j to his bed, and thought it to be on-;
Jly a question of time about his'
i death from the c ineer/ I put. him
on S>> iit s Specific as a la-i resmt, i
; and he l»egan to improve with the
first dose. His general heath im- '
proved at once, and rapidly ; his’
throat got well; the ravage- of rhe '
• cancer were soon stopped ; it l»egan
to heal around the edges; and after
a few months treatment with S. S.
S. he has gotten entirely well. His '
face is all heated over with new i
flesh, ami his general health is ex-1
celleut. His recovery is wonderful.
