THE TRI WE EKLY NE By Galllard, Desportes & Co.] WINNSBORO, S. C., TIlbRSDAY, MORNING, JUNE 7, 18.VOL,. I.-NO.-.) THRE TH-ROKLY NER1 President Lincoln's Famous Clandesline Journey. In the first volume of Benson L. Lossing's'"Pictorial History of the Civil War in America," is to be found the following, which purports to be "Mr. Lincoln'p account of his clandestine joorney" from Philadelphia to Washing. ton, in' February 1861. The versian will attract atterition. ns it differs essen. tially from any yet seen or heard by the Southern people: "MI. LINCOLN'S ACCOUNT OF HIS CLAN DESTINE JOURNEY. "While in Washington city, early in De.-emtber, 1864, the writer called on the President with Isane N. Arnold, me6iber of Congress from Chicagp, one of Mr. Lincoln's most trusted personal friends. We found him alone in the nvom wherein the Cabinet meetings are held, (in tho White House,) whose windows overlook the Potomac and the Washington monument. At the re quest of the writer, the President relat. ed the circumstances of his clandestine journey between Philadelphia and Washington. The narrative is here given substantially in his own words, as follows: 1-I arrived at Philadolphia on the 21st. I agreed to stop over night, and on the following morning hoist the flag over Independence Hall. In the evening there was a great crowd where I receiv. ed my friends, at the Continental Hotel. Mr. Judd, a warmn and personal friend from Chicago, sent for me to come to his room. I went, and found there .lr. Pinkerton, a skillful police detective, also froin Chicago, who had been em ployed.for some days in Baltimore, watching or searching for suspicious persons there. Pinkerton informed me that a plan had been laid for my assassi nation; the exact time when I expect. ed to go through Baltimore being public. ly known. He was well informed as to the plan, but did not know that did con. spirators would have pluck enough to execue it. He urged me to go right through with him to Washington that night. I didn't like that I had made an engagetnent to visit Harrisburg and go froms there to Baltimore, and I re solved to do so. I could not believe there was a plot to murder me. I made arrangements, however, with Mr. Judd for my return to Philadelphia the next night, if I should be convinced that that there was danger in going through Biltimore. I told him that if I should meet at Harrisburg, as I had other places, a delegation to go with me to the next place, (then Baltimore,) I should feel safe, and go on. "'When I was making my way back to my rooni, through crowds of people I met Fredrick Seward. We went to. gether to my room, when he told me that lie had been sent, at the instance of his father and General Scott, to inform me that their detectives in Baltimore had discovered A plot there to assassi nate me. They knew nothing of Pink. orrton's movements. I now believed such a plot to be in existence. "The next morning I raised the flag over idependence Hall and then went on to Harrisburg wi t Mr. Sumner, Major (now General) Hunter, Mr. Judd, Mr. Lamon and others. There I met the Legislature and people, dined, and WOitq until.Lho tiae appoioted for me to leave. In the mentime Mr. Judd h'ad secured the telegraph that no. comn unnication cotld pass to Baltimore and give the conspiratore knowledge of a change.ia my .pland. 'i.'

I , 9 cp ,Laarmon (now MAne , e tuai ) whmnobodyr " etback to Phdladelphui'a,.nd found a meannge t.here from Pinkerton (who had returned to Baltimore,) that the conspirators had held their final meeting that evening, and it was doubt. ful whether they had the nerve to at atempt the execution of their purpose. I went on, however, as the arrange. ment had bern made, in a special train. We were a long time in the station at Baltimo,e. I heard people talking around, but no one particularly observed me. At an early hour on Saturday morning, at about the time I was expect. ed to leave Harrisburg, I arrived in Washington." [From the Riohmond Examiner.] A Look at Jeff. Davis and a Talk with his Wife. We have fr6m the lips of a Virginia gentlemen, who, within the last week, visited Fortress Monroe, the citadel that holds Jefferson Davis, a narrative of the inner domestic life, of Mr. Davis, and that of his deVoted and estimable wife, who, through the humanity of Presi dent Johnson, is allowed to be near him and visit him daily. The narrative, be. sides being interesting. is far more truthful than the sensation stories of Northern correspondents, whose only stock in trade consists in imagination. Soon after landing, and while walking by the fort, our narrator had the plea. sure of observing Mr. Davis. between 11 and 12 o'clock in the forenoon, tak ing his customary walk upon the ran parts of the fort. From that distance he looked weak and emaciated, and used a cane for support. His suit was the old familiar gray, in which lie so often appeared to the citizens of Richmond, as his erect form strided back and forth through Capital-square, to and from the Pr9eidential mansion and his office in the Custom-house. His hat was the broad. brimmed felt, also familiar to our citi zone, and which lie always wore in tak. ing his rides to the lines around Rich. mond. Subsequently the gentleman had a pleasant interview with Mrs. Jefferson Davis, at the residonco of Dr. Cooper, the Poet Sirgeon, He found Mrs. Da vis "at home," in an apartment comfor. tably though not elegantly furnished, and she did not seem to want for any. thing. Her conversation was the same that so often charmed visitors when she, the wife of the President of a brave na. tion struggling for their liberties, dis. pensed the courtesies and hospitalities of the Presidential mansion. She spoke freely and feelingly of the health of Mr. Davis. Though weak from long con finement and want of change of air, his general health, she thought, was good, and his spirits had revived since sh had been permitted to visit and be igh him. Mrs. Davis spoke warmly and fre. quently of the kindness of Dr. Cooper; also of all the officers of the fort and post. She was dressed i black silk, her usual toilette in Richmond, and without! ornament, and seemed happy in the pri. vilege allowed her. Her youngest daughter, Georgie, is with her, a beanti ful little girl, with somewhat of sadness in her eyes and face. The other chil dren, Jeffy and an older daughter, are in Montreal, Canada. Mrs Davis' old dining room servant, Frederick, who waited at the Presidential mansion, is also with her. He says lie never in. tends to leave her, and is exceedingly attentive, almost anticipating her wants. The Southern people will not forget this faithful negro, who, though a freedman by the result of the war, expects to re main the trustworthy servant still. Mrs. Davis' nurse, Mary, is also at the fortress, in attendance upon hittle' Georgie. She, too, is very devoted and~ attentive to the health and wants of her mistress, by which name she yet address. es her. Mrs. Davis, in the ousre of conversation, spoke kinidly and feeling. ly of the sympathetic expressions of the Southern people, and their eondolence expressed for herself and husband touch. ing the situation in which the latter had been placed by thentiltoward fortune of war. Some of the unpleasantnese and petty annoyances that have made Mr. D)avis' prison so irksome to a groat caged mind like his, have been done away with. by the authorities at WashingtQn. Mrs. Davis is permitted to visit him any time from. 10 A. M. to 2 P. M.,and after 4:3Y P. M.sto- the h6tur of closing thei gates; which is 9 o'clook.

'o the EVvening Post There is scarcely any French name more familiar to the American public at the present moment than that of M. Drouyn de Lhuys. The following live. ly sketch of his wife, which I translate from Le Loleit of Paris; may be inter. estin9 to your readers : Madenoiselle Mathilde do Saint Cricy had received that healthy and somewhat austere education by which old families prepared their daughters in former times for the dnies rather than for the pleasures which they were to en. counter in life. It was left in those days to the husband Jo introduce the woman whom lie had married, to some thing else than the bustle and responsi bilities of married life. The bride en tered her home as bonsekeeper. It was for the husband to in:toduce her to the world and its gayeties. At the pres eut day, the child bewildered by balls and tlheatreF, watering -places and travel, already weary of the world and its do. mands wakes up some fine morning in marriage, to learn that gold pieces do not coin themselves, that there is a bot toi to the deepest purse, and that but ter is at an exorbitant price. When Madame Drouyn de Lhuys left the great and melancholy hotel de province, where her childhood had slipped way, to follow her husband, then Secretary of Legation at Madrid, the vorld was delighted with this t young woman, who appeared to find it so good, so beautiful, so charming. it was pleased with her for the keen and gracelul joy which she showed at its estivities ; but what the world, all the world at least, did not know, was the pure charity, the exq6isite kindness, the severe economy of the young woman with so frank and gay a laugh. Much has been said of the fortune of M. Drouyn do Lhuys, When lie has been seen in circiuistinces, and at times when he regarded hiiliself as discharging a duty, sacrifice so e"ily the most lIt crative poviti" *6.MAme said: "It is not strange ; lie is so rich I" The truth is, that this fortune would excite a contemptuous laugh from a 1-im ple banker. It is. besides, all invested in real estate, which diminishes the in come from it. But it is a settled princi ple of M. Drouyn do Lhuys that his po sition f.,rbids hin all interest in any in ditastrial enterprise, all property in specu lative stocks. He had consequently of. ten needed the economy, the adroitness of the domestic wonmn, of the house. keeper who concealed herself in the fine lady, in order to maintnin the rank and to continue the charities from M. I Dronyn ( Tiuys, even as a private in dividual, could not withdraw. They are, perhaps, rarer than we think-those graceful figures, whose dazzling toilets and brilliant costumes 4 the newspapers publish, but whose charity, whose domestic virtues remain unknown when they are not slandered. As I have mentioned the name of ono of the greatest and most eminent of French women, let me relate an an ecdote which paints very well the afrec tionate tenderness, the thoughtful care which she shows in saving from all anx iety, all worry, so far as it is possilble for her to do, him whose name she is so happy and so proud to bear. It was during the Eastern war at the moment of the negotiations and confer ences in which M. Drouyn de Lhiys played so important a part. The min ister had just been informed that one of his oldest7friends had been sadly wound ed in his affeetions. At the momlent of leavimg for the Council, he wrote hima letter full of feeling and of friendship, and carried it to Madame I-buya de U.hnys, that she mght add also afo lines in her own hand. A fter a quarter of an hour, surprised at not seeing the mis site returned, lhe went to his wilfe and was astonished to find her standing be fore a window and counterdrawing a paper, An maktand had beeh over turned on tihe letter, anid Madame Dlrouyn de' Lshuys, td avoid coumpelling her husband, whom she knewt to be busy, to rewrite his lbtter, was trying to counterdr-aw the lrnj auia cleat hand-1 writinlg of tihe mninist r, PAaRis, Marehr. -18l "Thre goes a sna ,"saidJ a frie another, "who is '*ott his'ikundred thousand ddllars." tYes," quietly.eAdd thes other, looking a r the rich nan, "and that's all he is ot.
