New-Orleans, La.--A Mr. Matthews, who got through the rebel lines into Gen. Banks's department, says that at Shreveport, La., a tavern-keeper's wife assured him that Mr. Lincoln kept himself shut up in an iron cage, and did not allow any one but Mrs. Lincoln and Mr. Seward to see him-because he was afraid of being killed. --Detroit Advertiser.

uld be organized; a house was engaged and speakers from Marion and Otter Creek Townships provided to be on hand to give the faithful a good sermon on the beauties of the peculiar institution. The Marion speakers, however, failed to come to time, but Mr. James Thomas, of Otter Creek, was thar, and found a much larger crowd than he expected to meet in such a strong Republican precinct, but not doubting they were all of the faithful, he proceeded to make the speech of the occasion. He abused Lincoln, pitched into Congress and the Cabinet, and showed such unmistakable sympathy with treason and rebellion that a cry of hang him, bring a rope, etc., was soon raised. A rope was brought; Mr. Thomas was requested to say his last words. By good management, however, he got near the door, and ejaculating a prayer of legs do your duty, he broke for the prairie, fifty or more excited men in pursuit. Down the ravine, over the knolls, through sloughs, toward the banks of the Cedar, but Thomas bea
Kentucky! O Kentucky! Her eagles scream from hill to plain-- “Liberty” is the fierce refrain, It baffles traitors back amain, Kentucky! O Kentucky! The Union's wounds shall heal again, Kentucky! O Kentucky! I see the blush upon thy cheek, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Though thou wast never over-meek; Kentucky! O Kentucky! Ah! hear! there cometh forth a shriek, From hill to hill, from creek to creek, Missouri calls on thee to speak, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Proud Labor should not pay a toll, Kentucky! O Kentucky! No slave should crook to thy control, Kentucky! O Kentucky! Write Lincoln's fame upon thy scroll, Better emancipate the whole, Than crucify one negro's soul! Kentucky! O Kentucky! Methinks I hear a distant hum, Kentucky! Ah! Kentucky! It is the Union fife and drum, Kentucky! Ah! Kentucky! She speaks herself, and treason's dumb, Her brain and heart no longer numb, She feels at last, and now she'll come! Kentucky! Our Kentucky! Washington city, D. C., January 1, 186
Richmond, Va., Oct. 6th.--Two gentlemen who recently made their escape from Accomac, and have arrived in this city, represent that the state of affairs in that county amounts almost to a reign of terror. The Yankee General, Lockwood, who commands that department, is already practically enforcing Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, by issuing free papers to slaves. In a single day, last week, he thus liberated two hundred and fifty, and retained them in the community, instead of sending them North, as the Yankee Generals elsewhere have done. Of course, their masters are charged with their support without the benefit of their services. The gentlemen from whom we obtain this information crossed the Chesapeake in an open row-boat, and then made their way to Richmond by land.--Richmond Whig, October 6.
Another Proclamation wanted. To the Editor of the World: My husband is an officer in the rebel army, and will never lay down his arms while Mr. Lincoln is President. There are many ladies in this State also who have husbands fighting against the North. As there is a proclamation to free the slaves of disloyal citizens, why can't we have a proclamation to free wives from disloyal husbands? Derby, Sept. 28. Eunice. --New-York World, October 10.
, But we'll make you rebels run, Or we'll blow you to the happy land of Canaan. Jeff Davis, he is wise, At least in rebel eyes; He is waiting for some foreign intervention. If Johnny Bull cones in, We will whip him like all sin, And send him with the rebels down to Canaan. Oh! oh! oh! Ye rebels, don't you know A good time for the Yankees is a-coming? The rebs may make a noise, But the Yankees are the boys To drive them to the happy land of Canaan. It makes the rebs look sad To think that Lincoln had To issue the late proclamation; But it seems to be the plan To reduce the rebel van, And start them to the happy land of Canaan. Oh! oh! oh! Ye rebels, don't you know A good time for the Yankees is a-coming? Secession has played out, We will make you face about, And march you to the happy land of Canaan. The happy time has come, And the rebels are undone, Their conscription no longer will sustain them; We will show them how the South And Jeff Davis are played out Since they started fr
37. Abraham Lincoln. January first, eighteen hundred and sixty-three. Stand like an anvil, when 'tis beaten With the full vigor of the smith's right arm! Stand like the noble oak-tree, when 'tis eaten By the Saperda and his ravenous swarm! For many smiths will strike the ringing blows, Ere the red drama now enacting close; And human insects, gnawing at thy fame, Conspire to bring thy honored head to shame. Stand like the firmament, upholden By an invisible but Almighty hand! He whomsoever justice doth embolden, Unshaken, unseduced, unawed shall stand. Invisible support is mightier far, With noble aims, than walls of granite are; And simple consciousness of justice gives Strength to a purpose while that purpose lives. Stand like the rock that looks defiant Far o'er the surging seas that lash its form! Composed, determined, watchful, self-reliant, Be master of thyself, and rule the storm! And thou shalt soon behold the bow of peace Span the broad heavens, and the wild tumul
President Lincoln's last.--The President looks haggard and careworn — who wonders at it?--yet he preserves his good nature, and some new story or bon mot from him is always in circulation. The last was uttered on Saturday, at the public reception, when a Western paymaster, in full major's attire, was introduced, and said: Being here, Mr. Lincoln, I thought I'd call and pay my respects. From the complaints of the soldiers, responded the President, I guess that's about all any of you do payooks haggard and careworn — who wonders at it?--yet he preserves his good nature, and some new story or bon mot from him is always in circulation.
