Atlthe done of the war, al>oat Jtpr.l 12, 1865, I inule a visit to Richmond, Vk, with rihe United State* Marshal at Washington, Ward H T/smon. On Saturday night I went to his room, nt the Spotswood Hotel, and found him lying on hut bed weeping. 1 luqjUHhl tho cause, but he sobbed that he could not tell me then. Being mysti fied nnd excited, I pressed to .know Ilia ~Tii*vancc, and finally ha laid : *1 am going off in the morning to Washington. Before I go I will ee* you.' He in formed ran ut Rocketts, as tha steamer was about to depart, that President Lin coln had lieen murdenxl. 1 came ashore again, and, tilled with the weight of such information, which was known to tint few in Richmond, I thought it would justify me in calling on Gen. Lee, who had arrived a day or two liefore, and at his dwelling. There I was told that Gen. Lee was aiiout to attcud religious service, bnt would be at home about 12£0 o'clock. I called again, and he received me cordially, and inquired par ticularly for various friends, places and interests al suit Washington, Baltimore ana Maryland, I finally said to him : “ ‘ Gen. Ijoe 1 have a piece of private information which I came here to give yon, sir. The President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, was aaaaa-i nated night before last in Washington j city.’ ■ “He turned suddenly, his face lieing I ait half turn e<l toward me before, and looked into my face with an expression 1 shall never forget. He looked me through and through. “ ‘ General,’ aaid I, ' there can be no dopbt of it. The President's Marshal, Col. Lemon, told me of it, and it has lxx>n fully confirmed in cipher messages tn tie military authorities. What do yon think kbout it, Gen. I»ee ? ’ “He raised hia head and chin, aasmu I inga positive expression, and exclaimed “ ‘The South has lost her best friend:' "Bjfore I came away I remarked ‘ General, I would like to have your opinion as to who is the beat of your Generals ? ’ “He answered, still a little stunned and prooccupied : “ ‘A man I never saw. A man named Forrest,'"— (irorffr Alfred /tou-mend. TH* TOVMO. Trt accustom the young tn be and to do is more important than to induce them to learn aud to know.
