JUNE 29. 1865. Affttim in Ju [For the Savannah Republican.] On foe 4th of Mart*, 1861, Ahahaia Lin ruin assumed the Presidential chair as the r-prowntotive of the nation’s hopes, and the creditor of the sarion's will and purpose. It I» fruitless to praise the unrivalled splendor of the meridian sen—why then invent ingenuity to select words, which at best, are all too poor to describe plain, honest, faithful Abraham Lincoln. The cunning eloquence of orators, the Hawing verse* of poets, and the warm Hoods of a nation'# te*rt have all told, in their im- pres'ire way, the common estimate of his per sonal and ofllcial worth. But the .lH*r»au mill mot soon grow wewy in reading, hearing o*r thirling of liitn. fir rWorf, his name and fame were committed to the ;acred keeping aad trust of aU the na tions of the eanii. Hi-martyrdom became his apotheosis. From the cares, the trials and weighty responsibili ties of the greatest earthly office. he ascended to the glorious heights where illustrious'men shine forever. Was it not a striking exhibition of the grans wisdom of Providence that this man, who was required by thr nation'* wants, should hare been, as he was, so pnemineatiy erne of the peojtk f lV.ru in poverty, educated in the rough -cbool of drily hardships, buttling all his years with obstacles, modest bat courageous, dutiful, unambitious, a ftohtician oulf in tie sense of t•*''•#// <i patriot, he —oed absolute If nothing to fo\ /•<•**, nothing to lit pride of birth, nothing to the rotors of meahh. He toiled for his daily bread tram bis youth up, and difw/bd labor by the • i.n'entment he exhibited in performing it. A graduate of the fare*, be borrowed bis opinion* from no one particular school. He read nature, hooka, and men, and loved diem all. For this man a heart bad learned to exercise all the passive virtues, even while his energies were tasked to meet and surmount dirticolliee. He kaew the people respected their instinct*, aad when he came to be Presi- • dint, /«* was Inns to the ran*' of the p-ojde. And as he went along on bis dangerous route, aU the time —mAmg his * f, he held /met hf /> land of the people, and ‘ tracked a* footsteps with even feet.’’ “His puife’s bg*t tanmteJ with tiieir pulses." Like all other truly gnot men, Mr. Lincoln lad no one attribute of character which over, topped every other. He a as not, in the com mon acceptation of tbo tent, a man of genius, llut then neither was Luther, nor Crouwdl, nor William of iiraoge, nor Washington, nor Wellington. Your men of genius, so called, have made terrible havoc sa this world, They have been Loci/ew in splendor, and have Sften deserved, if they have not received, tli&./atr of Lucifer. Mem of rapdted genius cam* and looked upon Mr. Lincoln, and found nothing in him. They berated him as weak, untoga- * ious^alow. stupid. They even ihocghtfhim worthy of being superseded. Genfauea were Hying from all parts of the country, Bokon, Chicago, New York, ete., almost dailjj, to furnish tin* ungraceful, unpretending Hr-ai- dftlt with ''(has. They offered him pokctgk by the score, and he treated t^em all very as an elephsnt treats fire, ha went right offend p.iid'little or no heed to them. That wss He gift, that was oar national salratioH. > •tar lamented President was honest, trnfit'n/, and /• ofonmdlf sinter •. All bis faculties did honor to,his confieiet ce. and bis eonscinc# never parted company from his Iteart. Now that he is gone, tpe people wonder that they did not nppreeiui him when be was afire. But bis illastrieua service* will never form be underestimated or forgotten. > Ha laugh* kiagt and fienu, sad lord*, how more than royal a man might he who tamed mem and ■ l tiad.

Our nation is represented by its martyred chief, aad ha repeats the edRstaat lesion of history that demand# a victim in every great act of redemp tion. The stately hearse, that 10 expressed the msieoty of the nation, in its plames aad garlands and traios of groom-led horses, represented the of Ms greatness in the mangled body within the coffin—fit lender of that noble army of Mar tyrs of our liberty, whom grates cover tbo land and make a Golgotha of this fair garden bow (looming into spring. The pathos of the tacri- fiee was intensified by the a amber and Variety of. the parties to its bvbefits, the widely different netire end foreign, that fbilowed in the groat procession aad made Europe, Asia and Africa sister mounters with America. Prtsidsnl Lincoln’* career and demth gives a tragic depth to oar history, and adds a moral graadear to oor struggle which wBI he felt to the end ot tljoe. Oor first and on latest Presidents complete each other's great Mission in the world. Our peerless Washington, in his stateliness, and prosperity, aad honored age, and tranquil daath, stand* ant in bolder relief by the eeeeein ti oa with this murdered Chief of our avtfal times, who was raised up at such a foarfkl crises Ute oat hthdr'ework of natty add Ghent j» being threatened with death on his way to tfe Capitol, and foully assassinated whan his great victory was won. The two are now oar boldest historical names, and their graves will ha oar moat not'd monuments.

[From th* Jamaica Standard, May6 ] Ie oar present condition tb* British West India colonies must feel extreme interest in every eir- ci»n*taeoe which offers n prospect of relief. Sash n cirowmstane* they have is the diacovevy *f a new preceao for th* cose retire of once juice, Uto- |w intradnoud by Mr Alfred Fryer, a plantar of Antigua, and tbe head of the wealthy and ioiu- rntial firm of sugar refinery ia Manchester, Messrs Fryer, Benson A Foster. W# give to day frem an intor-celonial contemporary the isctnre delivered by Mr. Fryer, ia explanation of bis now process, before a large assembly ot planting gsatlaasan, the Governor, the Bishop, aad moat of th# notables of Antigua. In a oenntry I k* this, where ovary interest i* bound og> ia the sno res* of the great staple, wa doubt not that this lecture will be perused with. Intense attention Tho prespe-'t which Mr. Fryer’s process opens op to th* colon cs whi.-h, like Jamaica, are Dot con ditioned in ispitol or labor fof the production of any other than musaovado sugar, cannot be overrated. Tba esse j oie# almost as sect as it ia expressed, is converted into a concrete snhstanee, as herd as stone, capable of being cast into blocks of nay sine—aduoaseeptibl# ef deliqeeseeos, and there for# not liablo to drain, anu fit to he shipped in that state to the refiners of England, who have the capital, the appliances, th* labor aad the skill to ni'ke tbe most of it that sen be mad*. Ex tee si re sagar works, oaring houses, motor***, ram', hogsheads, pnnobeons, are don# sway with. In feet, nothing toe* thee an abaci ate revolution In tho prospects of sugar estates may be effected, tending to render investmaoU . ia them for less precarious aad eertaii.1/ far mere remaaaratiro then they have aver l>eea. In Aatfgaa it has been ascertained from actual experiment that th* increased value by the new process and the saving in drainage alone, amounts to more than Ed atari iog per hogshead. Mr. Fryer recommends bis plan in the most convincing manner by spending his own money to prove its souodoers. He has purchased three estates in Antigas, end having operated with them on an experimental seam, ha is about to erect machinery suffieieutly extWsike to convert tbe entire crops into tho eoncret*. The Antigua Observer remarks that “tb* valipi of bis labors is th* greeter that be has not intrtodneed compile* tod machinery. Tbs esacretor, as th*. apparatus is called, fo a marvellous combinatioe ot simplici ty with perfect efficiency.” A machine equal, to tbe production of five hr.gsheada of sugar per May occupies a spec* scarcely forty feat in length, and ia we£nd with sonrpanuivefy little labor. Mr. Fryer say* that a concretor. tba cost of whieh would be probably about £1,1)00, would do its work at th* rata of about 10 owt. hour. ■aseUae ef tk lfwfett Hon.
