MACON, OKOKGIA, AVEDNF l \Y, MARCH 25,1803. The Iriir IVdisirep anti «arlf Hiw» lory til Abraham Linctktit. Editor* of lit* Atfanta Intdlign,cer ; Some time au article app&arod »u paper, copied lrooi oue of jour eich*Lgds, purporting to give the pedigree and earlj liistor) - of Abraham Lincoln, the President of the UnihL’d States. As the article in «jues tion abounded in errors, which the writer of tLis* article, by personal acquaintance, with the subject, is enable to correct; and a* the subject itself is oue of geutrul interest, he feels it to be his duty to lay before the public a true statement of the facts. The man knewn as Abraham Lincoln, who now sits in the scat once occupied re spectively by Washington, Madison, Jeffer son, and Jackson, was born in the count) of Hardin, now the county of Laure, iu the State of Kentucky, aud about forty miles from where the writer of this article lives when at home. The mother wa« a siugle wornau of very low social position, by the name of Hannah Hanks. She was general ly reputed to have from one-eighth to one sixteenth of negro blood in her vains, and always associated with negroes on term* of equality. According to the statement of Hannah Hanks, her illegimate child was the son of Abraham Inlow, (who was still alive and iu Kentucky iu September in ISCI.j | I have myself heard her make this state ment. Moreover, Inlow always claimed the child as his own. Hare, then, is the testi mony of the two witnesses most conversant with the facts, both establishing beyond ca vil that Inlow is Lincoln’s farther. 1 will here give you a few facts iu regard to Inlow. He was originally from North Carolina, but emigrated to Kentucky when very young. He is quite tall, being about six feet three inches iu height. He goes barefoot in the summer, and I have never seen him with a eoaton but once. *ilis pants are held up by oue suspender only, worn over the left shoulder. His nose is disfig ured by having a piece about the size of a dime bit out of it in a fight. When little Abe was tour years and six months old his mother intermarried with a man by the name of Lincoln, and the boy was afterwards called by his step father’s name. One night old Lincoln coming home, finding Inlow at his house, felt those pangs which once disturbed the noble Othel lo and caused him to immolate the spotless Desidemona. He felt those sad pangs, but lie did not go off into soliloquies nor talk tragedy, but like a backwoodsman of the coarser mould he pitched into Inlow, and they hud a regular “set to” Lincoln Lit off a portion of Inlow’s nose •and the latter de prived Lincoln of oue joint of his thumb.— After this affairold Lincoln becameextreme ly cruel to Abe, and his mother fuuud it necessary to send him to lire with a Judy who lived iu the neighborhood. There he remained until he was about thirteen years of age. By this time he was able to work on the farm, and old Lincoln relented towards him and permitted him to return aud live with him. The lady who give Abe a home at this time was Mrs. Mcßiide, who afterwards moved to Nashville, Teunesste, and who was still living on the 15th February, 18*3*2 at which time the writer of this article saw her and conversed with her. She can sub stantiate the statements here made. During Abe’s residence at Mrs. Mcßrydc’s ho was sent to an ordinary old field school for three years, and there obtained the rudiments of a rough education. After his return home he went no more to school. Neither old Lincoln nor his wife (Abe’s mother) could read and could not see the use of an education. Abe was <now put to hard work, and was even com pelled to work on Sundays. This he could not stand, so he rau away from Lincoln and went as a hand on an Ohio flat boat. From this position he was promoted to the position of a deck hand on a steamboat. Afterwards he quit the River, went to Illinois, near Springfield, and became clerk of a saw mill. He soon afterwards studied law and com menced practicißg before magistrates’ courts. With his subsequent history the public are acquainted, and I do not propose to speak of it, my object being to supply information concerning that portion of his life which seemed to be least underwood. There are two prominent facts in this brief recital to which I would call attention. One of these is the African blood and low associations of Abe Lincoln’s mother. Here it was that lie must have obtained his no tions of negro equality. Haviog imbibed it iu bis mother’s milk, can we ever expect him ever to rise superior to it ? “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots ?” The other circumstance to which I have alluded, and which doubtless had a poteut influence in the formation of Abe’s charac ter, was the cruel treatment which he re ceived from his step-father. This had the effect of hardening a nature by no means soft, and rendering him a fit tool for carry ing out the hellish purposes of the Abolition party. Let no man deceive himself with hopes based on any supposed feeling of hu ruauity iu Lincoln's nature. The bastard s*on of Hannah Hanks—the victim of a step father’s cruelty has a grudge against the hutnau family. His early training makes it impossible for him to feel the “dint ol pity,’ and he will repay on society, with interest, the cruelty which in early life he expe rienced.

I nJtr the head of “Spirit of the German Fresi, thff St. Louis Republican translates and publishes the following article from iht* Aiue Z*.* t, a leading German paper of s he city. It is of the date of the 26th ult.— The X*ae Zdt, is one of the radical Aboli tion presses. A trip to W ashingtou compensates One Icarus much aud gets rid of manifold illu sions. ihe latter may not always be con nected with th«» moat pleasant sensations, but such a riddance produce* certaluly a deeper view inti the true situation of the couutry, which for many may be of practi cal value. 1 have never been very saoguine with relation to the pre-requisites of a sure progress of our cause in the East. 1 lihtc never estimated the patriotism aud energy of our representatires in Congress, the pene tration of our leading statesmen, the brave ry aud love ol country of our army very highly ; but to return ao bare of all hope, I had uot expected. Iu the annexed commu nication I will endeavor to place before vour readers the result of my observations. Ihe people of the East are completely weary of the war, and desire peace, though this peace be connected with conditions ever so shameful. The eonvictiou is deeply root ed that we cannot beat the Southern army —that on the contrary, our troops cannot make a stand against those of the Confeder ate States \ that it is useless to continue* the waste of blood the Republican party, after a prolongation of probation, has proven it self incapable to administer the affairs of this couutry, and that the Democratic party understands how to hold the reins ; that Liu eoln is a weak old woman, and renders our Government ridiculous; that we can end the war only by compromise, and that hence salvation and redemption are oulv to be hoped for from the Democratic partv. The haired against the negro is greater than ever before ; the prejudice against the black race' grows day by day . the message of the Presi dent excites general disapprobation. The couutry b exhausted in men aud money; the woful condition of our finances is a more heavy affliction than all others, because it is felt at every hour of the day; and but one wish hovers on all lips—Peace! peace! The army of the East is still more cor rupt than, the people. The army is rot ton and treasonable from head to toe. The Western troops as soon as arrived at the East, became equally corrupted. Upon the whole trip I have not met a single soldier who did not curse the Abolitionists, daiun the niggers to hell, and declare that he would rather tight for tire South than to make a stand for the liberation of the slaves Os battle courage aud victory assurance, there is none to be found in the Eastern army. The soldiers do not believe that they can beat the enemy, and therefore consider an advance impossible. They seem to be so spiritless that it is doubtful whether they are capable oihopituj for victory. Os Hook er hardly anything inure is expected than of Burnside. The desertions increase with every day. The President’s proclamation is publicly cursed, and the couduct of soldiers in the cars and in the cities is vulgar aud brutal beyond description. Os patriotism you find as little in the Eastern army as among the people of the Eastern States.— The people seem to have no longer an idea of patriotism ; not a mau speaks of sacrifi ces ; from love of the cause, hardly ten men would remain in the regiment. It is a real treat, after having conversed with the sol diers ol the Rappahannock, to converse with soldiers from Roseeranz’s and Grant's ar mies. The statesmen in Washington, in their turn, are again more corrupt than army and people. For them there 19 but one watch word ; “Let ua steal while it is time.”— Every one prefers to snatch a portion of thia booty out of the strong box of the Treasury, though as if the siu flood was already rolling against the gates of Washington. Does any one accidentally think of the dreary situation of the country, he has to go and drown his sorrows in a brandy shop. There is not one of ail our celebrated men who ventures soberly and coolly to reflect on the lay of the land, to take in time the measures of precaution. One only hears words like these: “We do not know what will come out of it.” “We will see.” “What can be done ?” In Congress time and energy are frittered away with puny measures; and, as for the main question no one care*. The Cabinet members place the crown upon the whole swindle, fceward has long since gone over to the copperheads; so Blair; Stanton al ways was a Democrat; so always the drunk en Halleck; Chase plays a high game for the Presidential candidacy, and Abe Lin coln is the rueful countfieit of a man whom one need ouly to look at in order to beat his hands over his head. Fremont’s name ia no more heard in Washington. It is totally blown away.— He, too, haa suffered the favoaable opportu nity to pass by, and it would be useless now to try to seize it again. The people of the East have become so faithless that it is no more to he saved. Once the radical party bad the power within its grasp ; then they did not venture openly to oppose the Presi dent, but they even labored for the Admin istration, although it was inimical to them. It broke with the best poition of the Demo cracy, which, likewise, by the obtuseness of Lincoln’s Administration, was driven into the opposition. Now it is too late. Pot sihle it ia, nevertbelewi, that the laat daya of ; Congress may yet bring important tad de cisive thing.. Still possible L a chaagfe of the Cabinet, although every member gra«ps with cramped hand* to be a money paying officer. 1 hi* possibility is, however, very disteot, aud bTOomes daily more improbable. The radicaL are now in a grt-st minority the Democracy Las the know- the tough aud reganllehs character of the Democratic leaders, kn.ws what that means. In \\ ashingtou they talk ouly of peace. I beu a separation into tour empires would become most probable. In Virgiuia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, everywhere, even of foyal people, one hears the same wish peace. And (lie boldest utnoug the copj>er bcads speak already of the annexation to ibe Southern Confederacy under the regime of Jefferson Davis. Iu conclusion I would simply venture the question whether an ftrganicstiou of Hie radical party would not now be in time? The Democracy in every State in the Union is firmly and closely organized. Circum stances may render for it measures necosa ry, which we would have to war agaiust at any price. Therefore, radiculs, organize yourselves, else all is lost. The Deiauare Koaoliitiou*. The two Houses of the Legislature of Delaware have adopted a series of joint reso lutions—to be forwarded to both Houses of Congress and to the Governors of nil the States, with the request that, they be laid before the several Legislatures— from which we extract the following 5. That this General Assembly and a large majority of the people of Delaware will, in j all respects, faithfully support the Constitu tion ot the United States ; that they recog nize uo fealty or allegiaueo to any public authority or powti other than their ovu State Government withm the -qUiere of its reserved rights—.to the Government of t be* • ( nked States within the limits of the dele gated authority ; that every infraction of the 1 rights of the iState*, and every breach of the Constitution of the United States, is au un warrantable assumption ot j*ower, aud that of right to violate either, ou the plea of military necessity, is an artful device by persons iu authority for the subversion of our form of Government and the estab lishment of another iu its stead. 7. That in the judgment of this Legisla ture ami a large majority of the people of Delaware, the time has arrived for making au effort other than by afms to end this dreadful war ; that *ueh effort should be made through the agency of an armistice or cessation of hostilities, aud the appointment of Delegates from ail the States to a Nation al Convention to devise and mature a plun for the settlement of our difficulties, which, whilst it secures the integrity of the Union, shall place the slavery question beyond the reach of fanatical agitators or unreasonable propagandists, aud re-establish the Federal L nion, by the exercise of generous and mag nanimous sentiments, upon a basis as endu ring as the continent ou which we live. 10. That the Legislature and u large ma jority of the people of this State condemn, as gross violations of the Federal Constitu tion, the attempt on the part of Executive to control the popular branch *of Congress by fraudulent military elections of all repre sentatives, Ihe appointment of military Gov ernors and the division of a sovereign State without the conseut of its people. The Currdiry. Gold was sold on Saturday at 425 pre mium, an advance ot two hundred per cent, withiu a week. We make the announce ment with uo design of goiug into a disqui sition on the subject. We simply propose to state briefly some of the most obvious causes which have brought about the result: Ist. All winter our people believed that peace would come with the spring, and that then there would boa cessation of the issue of Confederate notes, spring has come but peace appears more remote than ever. The people can see nothing before them but long year., of war aud shin plasters. 2d. A sudden spring tide of emigration of foreigners is setting from the Confederate States to tire United States. These persons are converting all their possessions, be the same great or small, into gold regardless of ’the cost. This large and sudden demand upon a drained market must have a marked and immediate effect. 3d. The people believe Cpngres* will not paes a tax bill, and every one feels that to be the only method by which our redundant currency cau be reduced within healthy bounds. 4th. Smugglers have increased an hundred fold within the pa?«t month. Jews and Gentils are flitting over the Lorder singly and in gang*. These fellows, though they use bank notes and State coupon fund*, must have gold and will pay any price for it. sth. Arbitrary impressments in this city by sending provisions up po lam ine prices and producing something near akin to a panic, have doubtles* Lad some effect iu depreciating the of the Confederacy, but the above arc, we believe she main causes of the unexampled enhancement of the precious metal, which we venture to predict will be wholly temporary.

The Port Royal correspondent of the New York Tribune, of the 27th ult., says: “The enemy having furnished »o mud evidence of the control of means of eai«y and oomprehendve information of ail our movement#, Tam confident of not comm.' ting any discretion by stating that all in cations point to Savannah as the first pint of attack.
