BEECHER AT HOME.
Large Gathering at Plymouth Chui'eh.
ParaTIe Between Moses and Lincoln—Two Great Men
who Lied “in Sight of the Promised Land”—Mr. Lee-
cl.er Swears lila Congregation to Justice, Moderation
and Mercy.
Mr. IJeecher occupied hia pulpit
day, for the first time since the ««ws of the
death oi the President, f> a ^ * or t* 1 ? fir8t
tSe since his return the excursion to
Fort flumter. The crowd that attempted
to hear him was leasiul. The church was
completely filled b y lca o’clock, aud for an
hour thereafter the sexton3 guarded every
door, and were obliged to turn away hun
dreds Large crowds that came over on
each ferry-boat from New York, and who
hurried up Fulton and Hicks streets, moat
of them running a foot race in the middle
of the stieet, were all compelled to go back,
or stood looking distractedly at the church.
At half past ten Mr. Beecher came upon
the p'atlorm, and the crowd began to rush
in to fill all the spaces not already occupied
by pew-holders. Mr. Beecher theu directed
the sextons to fill every pew with the first
that came, saying that at such a time as ibis
' the pew-holders must take their chance, as
no one in ten of those outside would lie
able to get in, and, in the meanwhile, the
services would be delayed. The aisles were
filled, and all the passages by the sides of
the galleries, and at the entrances, were
literally jammed with people. At least fifty
persons sat on cushions Turk fashion, upon
the platform, at the very feet of Beecher.
People stood outside of the church, looking
in at the windows. “This is worse than a
matinee,” said a pretty young lady. Mr.
Beecher commenced the services by a sliotf
prayer, and reading the nineteenth psalm,
beginning, “Lord, tnou hast been our dwel
ling place in all generations.” The 110b .h
hymn was then sung, the whole congrega
lion joining. It commences,
Why do wo mourn departing friends,
Or shako at death's alarms it
Mr. Beecher then offered prayer. He
prayed Hod for help, from whom all help
must come. Bring the spirit ol peace and
consolation upon all the people; deal with
us with everlasting kindness. We stand im
movable and secure in God. Thou hast
been pleased to desolate this nation. We
desire to humble our humiliation, aud bow
still lower before the majesty of Thy offend
ed love. How deeply hast Thou been of
fended, that through all these months and
years Thou still lollowest us. Let Thy
judgments cease and T2iy heart cover as sun
shine alt the land. Draw near to the heart
of this great people that has grown m strength
and iu happmess, and since Thou hast taken
lrom us our leader, our friend, much beloved
and trusted, since he ceases from his labor,
aud we are left with the toil, grant that this
dispensation of Thy providence may be
blessed even as Thou wouldst have it to be.
Draw very near to his. household, and
though it is night, let it be a night full of
stars of hope. May Thine handmaid be
greatly strengthened, and feel that it is the
right hand of the Aimighty that sustains
her, and upon the bosom of Thy love may
she find consolation in her earthly affliction.
Guard and guide all the members of the
government. Comfort this people. Speak
to Thine angels that they go forth bearing
consolation. May w§ be wiser, purer, freer,
more Christian. May we please God. Thou,
O God, art to do wonderful things with .this
people; for whom the Lord ioveth he chas-
teuelh. Utteily destroy slavery—destroy
rebellion. Take away hatred and animosity
that rankles yet in so many hearts; bring
back the old concord. May purity be that
sphere in which peace shad move, and lib
erty and justice walk supreme together
again in this land. May the nations of the
earth be blessed. Go or, O God, from con
quest to conquest, until the whole earth
shall see Thy salvation, and the glory of the
Lord shall fill the earth as the waters fill the
sea.
TIIE TEXT.
Mr. Beecher then took In’s text as loh
lows:
And Moses went up from the plains of Moab, nnto the
mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgali, that is over
against Jericho; and the Lord showed him all the laud
of Gilead unto Dan.
And all Naphtali, and the land ofjEphraim and Manas-
82h, and all the land of Jndah unto the utmost, sea.
And the South and the plain of the valley of Je-tieho,
the city of palm trees, unto Zoar.
Aud the Lord said unto him: This is tho 'and which I
sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac and unto, Jacob, saying
I will give it unto thy seed; X have causeiFthee to see it
with thy eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.
Si Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the
land of Moab. according to the word of the Lord. Jere
miah, xxxiv, 1, o, 4, 5.
THE SERMON.
There is no historical figure more noble
than that of the Jewish lawgiver. After
so many thousand years the figure of Mo
ses is not diminished, but stands up against
the background of early days, distinct and
individual as though he had lived but yes
terday. There is no event in history
more touching than his death. He had
borne the great burdens of State for lorty
years, shaped the Jews to a nation, filled
out their civil aud religious polity, adminis
tered their laws and guided their steps, and
dwelt with them iq all'their sojourning? in
the wilderness; had mourned in their pun
ishment, kept step with their march, led
them until the end of their labors drew
nigh. The last stage was reached, Jordan
lay between them and the promised land 1
Oh, what yearnings had he not had for that
juSnal rest. He had dreamed of it by night
und mused bv uay. It was holy, and en
deared as God’s favored spot. It was to
be the cradle of an illustrious liistorv; it
was the consumation of their desire, the re
ward of their toil and pain. Then came
the Lord to Moses saying:
“Thou must not go over; get thee up into
the mountain, look upon it, aud die.” From
that silent summit the hoary leader gazed to
the north, and the south, and the west, with
hungry eyes. The dim outlines rose up;
the hazy recesses spoke oi the quiet valleys
between the hills. With Christian longing,
with sad resignation, he looked upon the
promised laud that was now to him a for
bidden land; it was a moment’s anguish; he
forgot all his personal wants, and drank iu
the vfsion of Dig people’s home, for his work
was done. There was God’s promise ful
filled; there was the seat of the future Jeru
salem; there tue seat or Judea’s kins’. of jud
ges, ol prophets; the mouth of sorrow, the
fountain of blessings innumerable to all
mankind. Joy chased sadness from every
feature of the prophet, and he laid him
down and died. Again, through toil, and
sorrow, and wars, another has passed and
come near to the promised laird of peace
into which he might not pass ovc-r. Who
shall count the work of our martyr ? Never
rising to the enthusiasm ot your impassion
ed natures in hours of hope; ; ever sinking
jnto despondency with more mercurial u&-
tures, putting caution before hope, he wres
tles with all the trials ot the time. At w,
the watcher beheld -the gray dawn ol the
morning; the mountains began to give their
forms forth out of the d^kness the e2t

sorrows we were to be glad
It could fiWeno r Sher ™f asur , able P^ce.
trust, such gratitude, as hil He buUooked
upon it as Moses locked upon the promised
land; and then the wails of a naUo^p ro
c’aimed that he had gone. Not thine the
Borrow, but ours, sainted soul! Thou hast
indeed, gained the promised land To us
remains the heaving of the sea, the rocking
of the land. Thou standest among the elect.
Joy is upon thee forevermore. Over all this
land thou art lifted up as high as the star is
above the clouds that hide it, but never
reach it. Thy name shall flourish in fra
grance and beauty, as long as hearts remain
to revere truth, faithfulness, goodness. Nev
er were witnessed two such orbs of joy and
sorrow as came together over this,’ land in
one week, then wept, embraced each other,
sang and prayed, and many could only
weep gladness. The government was firm;
bipod was stanched. The dear father-land
to rise up in eminence among the na
tions. There was such a surge of joy as no
words can describe. In one hour joy had
no pulse. The sorrow swept along the land
as a thunder storm. Never did so many
hearts, in so briet a time, touch two such
foundlcss feelings. It was the uttermost of
soirow and the uttermost of joy—noon and
midnight without a space between. It was
so terrible that it stunned sensibility. The
very earth was no longer solid. The first
feeling was the least. Men wasted to get
strength to feel. Other griefs belong to
some in chief; this belongs to all. Men were
bereaved, and walked tor days as if a corpse
lay in their house.* The city forgot to swear
for a week. No monument will ever equal
in significance the great sorrow that swept
down party lines and animosities, and uni
ted the nation in the great bereavement.
There are some considerations arising out
of the event, to which I may refer.
SUDDENNESS OP DEATH A BLES.-TNG.
First, let us not mourn that his departure
was so sudden. We need not fill our minds
with horror at the method of his departure.
When men pray for deliverance from sud
den death it is because they do not want to
go unprepared. But wliep one is ready sud
denness ot death is a blessing. They that
go wide awake and watching as a . bride
groom to the wedding, and not they that
waste away and die in stupor, are blessed.
nrs MODE OP DEATn NOT SHOCKING IN VIEW
OP THE CONDITION OP THE NATION.
Nor should we mourn the manner of his
death. There was nothing shocking in the
mere instrument itself. Have not thousands
of soldiers fallen upon the battle fiekl by the
bullet ot an enomy ? So he fell. Is battle
counted so dreadful a mode of death? It
was as it he irad fallen in battle. Do not
all soldiers ask to die in the hour of victory?
And was it not meet that he should be join
ed with them in a common experience to
whom he had been joined in all his sympa
thy and life ? I bless God that there is some
argument of consolation in the .matter and
manner of his going,
SLAVERY.
Secondly, fills blow‘was but the expiring
rebellion. Epitomized in the foul act we
find the whole nature and despotism of sia-
vtry. We needed not that he should put
on paper that he believed in slavery, wno,
with treason, wflk murder, with cruelty in
fernal, hovered around that majestic man to
destroy life. He was himself but the ]ong-
life sting!with which slavery struck atliberly,
and he carried the poison that belonged to
slavery, and as long as the nation lasts it
will never be forgotten that we have had
one martyred President. Never, never,
while time lasls, while heaven lasts, while
hell rocks and groans, will it be forgotten
that slavery by its minions slew him, and,
iu slaying him, made manifest its whole na
lure and tendency. Thirdly, this blow was
aimed at the life of the government. The
man was stricken down but the government
smitten at. It was a blow at universal gov
ernmoul. Itvuna nntt he desperate hand rift he
victiih of oppression and wrong, for the
South was never wronged. There have been
some murders that admitted shades of palli
ation, but not such an one as this, without
provocation, without reason, without temp
tation. Fourthly, the blow has failed. Tbe
nation is dissolved, but only in tears. It
stands-lour-squared to-dayr more solid than
any fragment in Egypt. How naturally and
easily the government passed into the hands
of the new President!
PRESIDENT -JOHNSON.
I avow my belief that he will be found
man true to every instinct ol libertj’’, true to
the whole trust that is imposed on him, vig
llant ta the Constitution, careful of the Jaws,
wise for liberty, iu that he himself for his
life-long has known what it'is to sufferJrom
the stings of slavery aud to prize liberty
from the bitter experiences of his own life.
(Applause ) Where could the head. of a
government in any monarchy be stricken
down by the hand of an assassin aud the
funds not quiver or fall the half of one per
cent. The whole experience of four years
rounded up in this cruel stroke seem to
have been a condensed exhibition of the
strength of republican institutions, such as
we could never have expected or imagined
God has said by the voice of this provi
donee to all the nations of the earth, repub
Jican liberty based upon true Christianity ig
as firm as tho foundations of the globe.
JUSTICE, MODERATION AND MERCY.
Fifthly, even he who now sleeps, has, by
this event, been clothed with new influence.
Dead, he speaks to men, who now willing
ly hear what before they refused to listen to.
Now, nis simple, weighty words will be
gathered like those of Washington, and your
children aud your children’s children shall
be taught to ponder the simplicity and deep
meaning of utterances which passed in the
party heat as idle words. Men will receive
a new access of patriotism. I swear you
fin the alLar ol his memory to be more faith
ful to that couutry for which he has perish
eck They will, as they follow his hearse
swear a new hatred to that, slavery which
he warred against, and which, in murdering
him, has made him a martyr and conqueror.
I swear you, by the memory of this martyr,
to hate slavery with au unabateable hatred
and pursue it (Applause.) They will acU
mire the firmness of this man injustice, his
inflexible conscience lor tbe right, his gen
tleness and moderation of spirit which not
all the hate of party could shake out of his
nature. And I swear you to his justice and
to his moderation and to his mercy f
THE SOUTHERN SCAVES.
How can I speak to that twilight million
to whom his name was as the name of an
angel of God. There he wailing in places
no minister shall be able to reach, in hovels
and huts, in the woods and wilderness
in the fields throughout the South ; and the
dusky children who look upon him as
that master whom God sent betore them to
lead them out of the land of bondage—
when thej T learn he is fallen, who shall com
fort them ? O thou shepherd of Israel that
didst comfort the people of old, to thy care
we commit the helpless, the long-wronged,
the grieved.
THE OBSEQUIES OF TO-DAY.
And now the martyr is moving in tri
umphal march, mightier than one alive. A
nation rises up at every stage of his coming,
cities and States are as pall-bearers aDd the
cannon beats the hours in solemn pro°Tes»
sion. Dead f Dead! Dead! He° yet
speaketh. Is Washington dead ? Is Hamp
den dead ? Is David dead ? Is any man
that was fit to live dead? Disenthralled of
the flesh and arisen to the unobstructed {
grafted upon the infinite, and will be fruit
ful, as no earthly life can be Pass on 1—
Wail and weep here, God makes it echo joy
and triumph there. Pass on! Four years
ago, 0 Illinois, we took from your midst an
untried man from among the people. Be
hold ! we return him to you a migh -y con
queror. Not thine any more, but ours; not
ours, but the world’-. Give him place, O
ye prairies 1 In the midst of this great con«
tinent, Lis dust shall rest a sacred treasure
to myriads who shall pilgrim to that shrine
to kindle anew their zeal and patriotism.—
Ye winds that move over the mighty
spaces of the West! chant his requiem!—
Ye people! behold a martyr whose blood,
as so many articulate words for fidelity, for
law, for liberty I

AN ACTOR ARRESTED FOR LOOKING LIKE
BOOTH.
A very singular arrest was made on Wed-
nonduy o-.-oriio.g- ooo that at £rsfc caused no
little excitement, but upon examination was
the cause of considerable mirth and laugh
ter. About 9 o’clock, a soldier, in breath
less haste and nervous anxiety, rushed into
the Central police station and told Secretary
Scott that he had just seen the infamous
murderer, J. Wilkes Booth, on Clark street,
in company with Mr. Pratt, of McVicker’s
Theatre. Mr. Scott at first laughed at the
idea, but the soldier was positive. He said
that he had once, while Booth was playing
an engagement at Me Vickers, been an at
tache at the theatre, and that he knew Booth
very well, and was positive that he had just
seen him. Mr. Scott at once asked the
soldier why he had not killed him on the
spot, when the soldier answered that ho
would have done so, but he was unarmed.
Still doubting, Mr. Scott went in search of
the parties, and soon found Mr. Pratt and
the supposed villain. Booth, in a restaurant
on Clark street. The companion of Mr.
Pratt looked very much like the picture of
the infamous assassin which Mr. Scott had
in his possession, and he exactly answered
the description which the soldier had given
of him. Mr. Scott requested Mr. Pratt to
come over with him to the central station,
as he wished to see him, and also asked him
to invite his friend to accompany them.
When tire three arrived at the station, the
stranger was informed that he was under
arrest as the assassin of Mr. Lincoln. Had
a thunderbolt from heaven struck him, the
accused could not have been more surprised.
He had no difficulty, however, in convinc
ing the officials that they were mistaken,
and that he, the supposed Booth, was none
other than Mr. J. F. Nagle, the accomplished
leading actor at McVicker’s theatre. Not
withstanding the innocence of the accused
so determined were the officials to punish
all men who resembled Booth, they declared
that they would, and actually did, bring
him to his leer, wnen a general good time
was enjoyed by all parties.

MEXICAN AFFAIRS.
PROPOSED ALLIANCE BETWEEN PRANCE AND
ENGLAND AGAJN3T AMERICA
On receipt of the news of the fall of Rich
mond, Louis Napoleon proposed to Lord
Cowley that England and France should,
by a treaty offensive and defensive, make
common cause against the United States of
America; that in the event ot Canada being
attacked by them, France should assist
England with all her land and sea forces;
and that in the event of the United States
openly or covertly attacking the Emperor
Maximilian, or in anywise endangering his
throne, England should,in conjunction with
France, “defend and support” Maximilian
in the same manner and on the same condi
tions as they sustained the Sultan of Tur
key against the aggression of Russia. We
do not know how this very cool overture
has been received by our government, but
we know what its emphatic answer ought
to be. On the reassembling orParliament,
next week, this important subject is sure to
receive immediate attention, and the idea
be denounced in the strongest language
which parliamentary notions of propriety
will allow. Still more deep will be the in
dignation ot the country at the proposal;
for the whole nation still smnris at tbe re
membrance of the manner in which Louis
Napoleon treated our unfortunate alliance
with him in the case of the Crimean war.—
Were Ministers to entertain the idea of the
proposed alliance even for a day, it would
kindle a flame in the national bosom which
would be productive of more serious tflccls
than the overthrow of a Cabiner.

Discovery of Quick-tlvkr in Nevada.
—The Reese river Austin, Reveille says :
Mr. Varney, superintendent oi' the PiO'
jieer mill, of this city, and a scientific amal
gamator, has lately been on a visit to one,
the capital of our neighboring county of
Nye, and during his stay made a most as
tonishing discovery. The new mill of that
city had been able to extract but about $25
per ton from what had the reputation ot
being rich ores, and Mr. Varney went down
to see what was the matter. Upon an
analysis of the ore he found it to consist of
sulphur, antimony, arsenic, silver, and what
he believed to be quicksilver. Of course
such- an ore could not be worked withou
roasting.
A rude lurnaco was formed, where four
hundred pounds could be roasted at a time,
and thorough experiments on several ledges
were made. The result was that the rock
was made to pay, without selection, $110
per ion but the most singular of all wa3 the
great abundance of quicksilver llrat the
roasting developed.
Having ascertained that quicksilver was
present, seeing it gather on the iron poker
used in stirring tbe roasting mass, and
smelling it in the fames, an attempt was
made to ascertain the quantity. Three and
a half pounds of the quartz—not cinnabar
—was placed in a retort and heated, and
nine ounces of pure quicksilver obtained,
being .over eighteen per cent. Upon
thorough examination of the lode, large
quantities of rich cinnabar, the oreol quick
silver, were found. The rock experimented
on, contained this useful metal in a native
condition.
The extent of these cianabar bearing
lodes was found to be great, indicatiug that
we shall be able to lurnish our own supply
of quicksilver, and probably have it to ex
port.

ORDERS FROM GFN. GRANT RELATING - TO
PAROLED PRISONERS.
Washington, May 10.—Gen. Grant has
issued the following instructions to Gen.
Augur, relative to the disposition to be made
of paroled prisoners.
Headquarters Army of the U. S.,
VVgsnington, D, C., May 18,1865.
To Major General Angur, commanding De
partment of Washington :
General—Please send all paroled ipris-
oners of the late rebel armies, now confined
or detained at Alexandria, Va., to their
homes. Those whose homes were, at the
time of forming these armies, in the States
that have never been in rebellion, and who
desire to return 10 them, will be required
to take the oath proscribed iu President's am
nesty proclamation, provided they are not
excepted from its bent fils. If so excepted,
they will be detained. Those living in
Texas will be sent in charge of an officer,
and will be landed on the west bank of the
Mississippi river, near above the mouth of
Red river.
By command of Lieut Gen. Grant,
A. J. BOWERS, A. A. G.
The Rebel Ram Stonewall.—The re
bel iron clad ram Stonewall, Captain Page,
which sailed from Lisbon the 28ill of March,
is evidently on her way to this coast. As
the frigate Niagara, Commodore Craven,
and the corvette Sacramento, Captain Wal
ker, were debarred by the twenty-four hour
rate from giving pursuit, she was to get,
away from the coast and so far ahead that
chase was useless. From Lisbon the StoDe-
wall proceded to the Maderias, where she
coaled and took in supplies, hut was ordered
away after the expiration of twenty-four
hours. From Funchal she steamed io Te-
neriffe, where she again coaled aud provis
ioned, and was compelled to go to sea again
in twenty-four hours, on the first of April.
She is evidently making her way to some
ol the Islands of the West Indies, where
she will again coal and prepare for a raid on
our coast. No rebel port is lelt here that
she can enter, as her draught of water is too
great for Galveston. She may make a dash
into some of our Northern ports, and the
Navy Department has made and is making
every preparation to meet and destroy her
if she attempts the feat-
iron ci&ds have been quietly placed in
the different harbors, ami other measnves
taken that will render aliortive any raid on
our seaboard cities.
The Roanoke and other iron clads will
care for New York, and a torpedo boat will
also be kept ready for immediate service.
It was rumored yesterday that the Stone
all had been spoken on Friday last, but
the report is entirely unfounded. Great
vigilance is, however, maintained by the
naval vessels In the harbor, and they are
ready for action.—Neio York Herald, May
