they were both to return home and speak no more during the campaign. Judge of his astonishment a few days later to find that his rival, instead of going direct to his home in Chicago, had stopped at Princeton and violated his express agreement by making a speech there! Lincoln was much displeased at this action of Douglas, which tended to convince him that the latter was really a man devoid of fixed political morals. I remember his explanation in our office made to me, William Butler, William Jayne, Ben. F. Irwin, and other friends, to account for his early withdrawal from the stump. After the Peoria debate Douglas approached him and flattered him by saying that he was giving him more trouble on the territorial and slavery questions than all the United States Senate, and he therefore proposed to him that both should abandon the field and return to their homes. Now Lincoln could never refuse a polite request--one in which no principle was involved. I have heard him say, It's a f

ing that I shall never forget. I think it was at the close of a prayer, when a young man, with face all radiant, arose, and sang what was to me a new song; seemingly forgetful of all around him, and wholly engaged in loving, adoring praise to his present Redeemer. That song echoed and re-echoed in my soul so long, that I believe I could even now sing it. I baptized as a result of this series of meetings, in a creek north of Dalton, a large number of professed believers; of whom one, William Jayne, afterwards became a useful minister of the gospel; and is still laboring, I think, in his native State, Kentucky. The troops encamped in the town were now ordered to the front; and this left us without a congregation. Wishing to find some other troops to whom I might preach before the opening of the campaign of 1864, I went some two or three miles south-east of Dalton, where I found a battalion of artillery, commanded by Major Johnston, a kinsman of our commanding general.

A brother of Mrs. Lincoln in Congress. --J. S. B. Todd, who has been elected delegate in Congress from the new Territory of Dacotah, is a brother of Mrs. Lincoln, and a graduate of West Point in 1837. He resigned his position in the army a few years ago, and took up a residence in Dacotah, from which Territory he was appointed a Brigadier-General of volunteers on the 19th of September, 1861. He has been, most of the time, and we believe is now, in command in Northern Missouri. William Jayne, brother-in-law of Senator Trumbull, was the opposing Union candidate.
