the cotton firm of Fackler, Colcock & Co., which did a large business, receiving cotton from North Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina, Charleston then being the chief market for several cotton growing States. This firm was a branch of the great factorage house of Bradley, Wilson & Co., of New Orleans. By a curious coincidence the completion and opening of the Charleston and Savannah Railway, projected by Colonel Colcock, was being celebrated in Charleston when the news of Mr. Lincoln's election was made known, with its attendant excitement. The sentiment of resistance was largely developed at these festivities, where the eloquence of Bartow, of Savannah, and (Alfred) Huger, of Charleston, electrified the great assemblages. After the death of his second wife from pneumonia a new phase of Colonel Colcock's life developed; without military training and experience, his fondness for fine horses and skill as a horseman soon transferred him from civil life to the command

s recorded by a leading Republican after the most straitest sect of that political faith. The Dred Scott decision, says Mr. Blaine, received no respect after Mr. Lincoln became President, and without reversal by the court was utterly disregarded.

The executive department paid no attention to the dess, forebore to join them, and still, hoping against hope, persisted in spite of every discouragement, in earnest efforts for peace and reconciliation until President Lincoln's proclamation demanding troops for the invasion of the seceding States appeared, and the choice was abruptly presented to her of fighting either for her con

advantageous in the conflict of arms. General Hunter, early in the war, proclaimed emancipation in certain States, and Lincoln, in his own words, repudiated the proclamation. In his special message in 1862, asking Congress to pass a resolution that the United States ought to give pecuniary aid to the States which may adopt gradual abolishment of slavery. Lincoln urged it as one of the most efficient means of self-preservation, upon the ground, that if by means of such action, some of the bome? How would the civilization of the white man pulsate with the intermingled aspirations and voice of the black man? Lincoln thought of this, and the remedy for it in room in South America for colonization? The Southerner knew it would be imposm the Northern States. Secession was conservative of the Constitution, and was a pacific policy. But war ensued.

It is somewhat illustrative of what has been just stated, and is, furthermore, not without humor in the realization of some exemplifications of the ante-bellum slave: Among the slaves owned by Dr. Hoge was one who had faithfully served him as carriage driver—Ambrose. Upon the promulgation of the proclamation of President Lincoln, freeing the slaves, Dr. Hoge informed Ambrose that he had no longer any right to his service. What for? earnestly asked Ambrose. Dr. Hoge fully explained, stating that, in law, Ambrose was as a white man, and invested with all the prerogatives held by his late master.
