U S Journal. The Chailestonians are like Doom-d iy Miller; they appoint a day, from time to time, when Sumter is surely to bo attacked, but the day comes round, and lik-s the woild, Sumter stands untouched. The country is beginning to believe the brave South Carolinians never intendod anything mote than n grand farcical splurge. Meanwhile, Washington letter says tho government is preparing aga'nst any possible emergency, by concentrating reinforcements of men and supplies, ready to be rushed into Charleston harbor if the attack begins, and tho first gun will be tho sig nal for the sailing of an overwhelming tleet to tho rescue of Anderson and his brave comrades. Finiintitl Aiieed .te, Somo time dining tho past yoar, when the Saving's Banks of Bulfilo resolved to pay no interest on deposits amounting to more than two thousand dollars, a thrifty marchant who had about $-1,000 snugly laid np in ono of tho institutions, consulted with himself as to how ho should uianago to obtain interest on i he whole sum. Ho finally approached tho president, and asked to withdraw $2,000 of his money, and re deposit It in the name of his wifo. The officer demurred at first, professing conscientious scruples, but being of an nccommodating tempornmont, fin-i ly consented to tho arrangement. The cash was accepted in tho name of Mrs. merchant aforo-said, and six per cent, per annum accumulated upon the whole, as before. But a crisis came at last. A few weeks ago tho lady died, without having previously conveyed her sharo of the household foi tune back to her husband. As she died without issue, her personal property naturally reverts to other heirs, and thus tho merchant's hard earned $2,000 are liko'y to pass forover fro.m his control. The moral is obvious. Buffalo Courier. Tho European Times of January 23lh says : The End of Garibaldi's English Le gion xng itoturu noriio. Mr. Lmdor Piead gives an account of the way in which the last detachment of Garibaldi's English legion was sent home. It was inten ed tosjnd them to England by steamer, but this idea'was abandoned and they are despatched overland, very indifferently provided for tho Journey. All the men spoke well of their treatment through the French tenitory. The French railway officials, and all the agents with whom they camo in contact, paid the kindest attentien to the helplessness of their language and the stcut vacuity of their stomachs : and at fie various refreshment stages it wag frequently said, Oh, give them doublo rations, they are English. Arrived in London, they found that the Garibaldi fund was exhausted. The destitution of some men was painful in gome cases honorable, in others ludicrous. Some men went to Genoa to be paid rather than hang about Naples aftor being discharged. At Genoa passes were given them to go overland, but tbe railway ageots, probably in lack ol suitable instructions, did not recognize the orders, and the men paid their way with their last penny, bringing the dishonored passes with them in proof. Several men had lost knapsacks blankets and swords, by leaving hem in charge of someone, while they aided cn board a disabled comrade. Others were left behind through generoog da-lavs of the game nature, and bad to py, or beg, or borrow their way home. , Why is i clergyman near' the end of his sermon like boy who his rent his tntegri. aunts ? L uessuse h"'s his dome JCorrespondonco Cincinnati Commercial. The I'renidcnt F.lTt i i the Capital of Ohio Cotumbus, February 13. The President elect and suite arrived at the Cnpitul at 2 o'clock. A great crowd welcomed him at tho depot with cheers, nnd the cannon thundered. The Columbus bnttitliun in brilliant array received him at the coach prepared for hira with presented, arms, and the surrounding houses were radiant with national flags and gaily drossed women. Many rushed to thu coach nnd grasped Mr. Lincoln's hands with cordial fuvor, each salute being received by him with a sweeping bow comprehending the multitude. After some time, the coach drawn by fjur bay horses, magnificent and spirited of course, as horses always are in poetry, turned up the broad avenue leading to the State House, escorted by the military and a long procession of hardy yeomanry, who awakened the echoes with jubilant shouts. Ladles and children thronged every door-way and window along the lino of march and waved Imndkerchiefs and lit'.lo nags innumerable. As the conch drew up at the gate of the Capitol, a sceno of splendii animation was presented multitudes of people of all ngos, si xes, nnd conditions thrcnged the porticoes and avenues of approach. Men rushed at the coach voraciously, as if it was their intent to devour its contents, but the Committees clung to their chvge with unyielding tenacity, and 'Old Abe' was finally philandered through j Ihe swaying throng into the Governor's npartments, and thence to the Hull ot the House, whero the General Assembly was met in joint Convention to receive the people's guest. Here, too, were gay Indies packed into the galleries, thickly and j carefully as ripe peaches in a willow bas- Kef, each eager to see nnd hear. Mr. Lincoln was finally nnnouncod, and npp roach ing in front of the Speaker's desk, under escort of Gov. Dennison, thu litttf-r addressed the President of tho Sen-ato as follows: Mr. President I l ave the hon:r to introduce through you to the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, tho President elect of the United States. Lieut-Gov. Kiik responded with manifestations of profound feeling: THK LIEUT. GOVERNOR'S REMARK3. "On this day and probably within this very hour the Congress of die United Slates wi 1 declnro the verdict of the people making you their President. It, is my plea-mi'ablo duty in behalf of the people of Ohio, spenking through tliis General Assembly, to welcome you lo their capital. Never in the history of this Government has such fearful responsibility rested upon the Chief Executive of the nation ns will now devolve upon you; never since the memorable tims when our patriotic fathers gave (xistince to tho American Republic have the p ople looked with suchintt-nsi-ly of feeling to the inauguration and future policy of a President ns they dj to yours. 1 noe-i not -Assure you that the pe pie of unio have lull conhdei.co in your ability and patriotism and will respond to you in their loyality to the Union and the Constitution. It would seem that the prob lem of self-government is to be solved under your administration. All nations are deeply interested in its solution and are waiting in breathless anx'ety to know whethf r this form of government, which has been tho admiration of the world, will prcvo a failure. It h the earnest and united prayer of our people that llie same kind providence which protected us in our colonial struggle?, has attended us thus far in our prosperity nnd grcatnefs, will so imbue your mind with wisdom that you may dispel the datk clouds that hancr over our political horizon and thereby secure the return of harmony and fraternal feeling to our now distraoted and unhappy country. God grunt their prayer mnv bo fully realized. Again I bid you a cordial welcome to our capital." Mr. Lincoln replied rs follows: mr. Lincoln's speech in response to tub LIEUT. OOVERNJR. Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the General Assembly. It is true, as has b.-en said by the President of the Senate, that a very groat responsibility rests upon me, in the position to which the votes of the American people have called me. I am deeply sensible of that weighty responsibility. I cannot but know what you all know, that without a name, or perhaps with a reason why I should have a name, there has fallen upon me a task such as did not rest even upon the Father of his Country; and so feeling, I cannot but turn nnd look for the support without which it will be impossible for me to perform that great (ask. I turn then and look to the American people, and to that God who has never forgotten them. Allusion has been made to the interest felt in relation to tho policy of the new administration; on this I have received from somo a degree of credit for keeping silent and from others some deprecation. I still think I was right. In the varying and repeatedly shifting scenes of the present, without a precedence which could enable us to judge by the past, it has seemed filling, that before speaking upon the diuicuities ot tbe country, 1 should have gained a view of the whole field, to be sure, and after all being at liberty to modify and change the course of policy as future events may make a change necessary. I have not maintained silence from any want of real anxiety. It is a good thing irhere there is no more than anxiety, for there is nothing wrong. It is a consoling circumstance that when we look out there is nothing that really hurts anybody; we entertain different views npon political questions, but nobody is suffering anything. This is a most consoling circumstance, and from it ws may conclude thnt all we want is time, patience, and a firm reliance on that God who hag never forsaken this people. . . -, i t To W-ci liens, what 1 have raid I have said altogether extemporaneously, and I will now coma to a close." The General Assembly applaudod, and interpreted the speech trust in Oud nnd keep your powder dry. The Joint Convention adjourned, and the respective brunches then adjourned, when Mr. Lincoln, after a few momenta, was escorted to iho western portico of the C-tpitol, and was presented to an enthusiastic people by Gov. Dennison. He then spoko 89 follows: MR. LINCOLN TO ME PK PLE. Ladies and Gentlemen: I appear before you to address you very briefly. I shall do little else than thank you for this very kind reception, greet you and bid you farewell. I should not lind strength if I were otherwise inclined to make speeches of any great length, upon every occasion similar to this, which may occur on my way to the Federal Capital. The General Assembly of Ohio has just done mo the very high honor to reocive me, and and to hear a few broken remarks from me. Judging from what I saw, I iifer that reception was without party distinction, nnd one of entire kindness. One that ha l nothing in it bevond a felling of tho citizenship of the United States of America, , Knowing as I do, that any crowd drawn together as this Ins been, i3 made up of the citizens hereabout, nnd that in this coumy of Franklin there is great difference of political sentiment, and those agreeing with me have a littlo the shorter row. (Ltughtor.) From this, and the circumstances I have mentioned, I infer that you do me liio honor to meet me hero without distinction of partr. I think this is as ii should be. Many of you who were not fivorable to my election lo the Presidoiicy, were fivorable to the election of tho distinguished Sena'or from the Plate i:i Inch I reside. If Senator Douglas had been elected to tho Presidency in the late con test, I think my friends would have joined heartily in meeting, and greeting him oa his passage through your Capital, as you have greeted me to-day. If any of the other candidates had been elected, I think it would have been altogether becoming and proper for all to havo j lined in showing honor quite as well to the office and the country, as to the man. The people aro themselves honored by such a concentration. I am doubly thani- fnl that you have appeared hero to give mo this greeting. It is not much to me, for I sh.ill very soon pass away from you, but we have a large country, and a largo future before us, and such manifestations of good will towards tho Government, and affection for the Union, will bo of im mense vilue to you and your posterity for ever. a tins point ot view it is that I thank you most heartily for the exhibition you Lave given me, and in tins allow ra-j to bill you an affectionate farewell. A great shout went up when the speech was spoken, and a great b.i.ly of brawny humanity rushed up the Capitol steps, and swarming about the distinguished guest seemed about to overwhelm him, but his escort, making a dex'erous dolour around one of the huge columns ot the portico, got him into tho Slate House, and tho cer-berus of the Capitol, shut elf communication by closing the portals. Mr. Lincoln was then backed up against the granite of the northern arch of the rotunda, when tho southern doors were opened, and the eager crowd charged through the corridor and up the stairs with vigor little short of ferocity. A score or so of ladies in the rotuuda, fearing the coming storm, fled in dismay up tho staircases into the galleries and look d down in dismay upon the ludicrous scene so suddenly created. In the spaco of a second the ntunda was packed with a dense mass of humanity, wedged almost immovably into the spacious area. Hero and there, an arm vibrated fniiously; now nnd then a broad chest would heave itself above the crowd, but little else but heads could be seen until the drift broke on the north side, then there was a surge and a howl with now and then a mighty volume of voices, which swelling u ) into the vast rotunda, almost shook its granite sides. Then, again, the outside crowd would rush to-wards the center, and the center would r-sist still; back again, the cenlrope'al force threw itself with u vehemence, which puffed up the center like a moh-hill. Now the polica interfered with official fussino3S, nnd ineffectually, until the whole mass heaved with irrepressible excitement. Hats were crushed as if they had been so many egg shells, and swallow- ail coats were robbed of comeliness, and huge oiths illustrated a sad defit iini-y m Sun day school training. But it was all good-natured. Old Abo, .meantime, vibrated like an old fashioned ship telegraph, reaching out bis long arms two yards ahead, and grasping brawny fists in swift succession, to the undiminished throng, until he seemed like one who was wearied of his prodigious labors. The crowd, in fact, nually used him up and treed him our distinguished guest taking refuge on the stairs leading to the library room,, where he disposed of the public by politely bow-ing to their salutations. The general sentiment of the people was decidedly favorable to their guest. Many of the hard-fisted pronounced him a first rate specimen of the' American people. One old fellow said he was hearty as a buck, and that suited him. At about 6 o'clock, Mr. Lincoln, almost exhausted, left tbe State House, and got some rest at Gov. Denni- son's mansion, where Mrs. Lincoln and Bob were being hospitably entertained. W. D. B. SECOND DISPATCH, ; Columbus, Feb. 13. A fter an afternoon of turmoil and confusion, and physical effort, in the way of shaking" hinds, as laborious as splitting rails, Mr. Lincoln escaped Irom the multitude by seceding from the .State House through the Benate chamber and enrolling clerk's office, and obtaiced a lit tle ie;t at the Governor s mansion. At half past six a large company of gentlemen, members of the General Assembly, and many othcrcitiisensof Ohio, w'uhout distinction of party, were hospitably en ertained, by the Governor, the President elect, of course, bping the ol ject of universil atten-lention. Each guest was introduced until the ceremony stood acquitted, when Mr. Lincoln relaxed, and displayed to admiring circles those social graces which have distinguished him as much ns his honesty and his ability in political debate. Gentlemen, universally, assented to his attractive manners. Democrats, especially, ex-pressing greater satisfaction with Mr, Lincoln in the social circle than as an impromptu orator, and it was uniformly remarked that his portraits aru sheer caricatures, conveying no idea of the character and tlie wining expression of his countenance. There Is a wonderful magnetism about him, and it is not strango that Lis personal friends nre so profoundly attached to him. , With one or two exceptions the place seekers acquitted themselves like gentlemen. At half past eight Mr. Lincoln was again escorted to the Capitol, where a Inrge company of ladies and their attendants were assemb'ed in she hall of the house to see him. The company wero invited to cnll at tho Governor's np.irt- ments. but they insisted that Mahomet should como to them, and he came. Governor Dennison made a neat little speech, npologizing for Mr. Lincoln, alleging that extreme Xatigue would compel him to forego the pleasure of shaking hands all round. The President elect very gracefully re-maiked that wh?n ho found he must come to the ladies, In had very properly reflected upon what he should sny to them, but the Governor bail tuken unfair advantage of him by miking the speech he had intonded to make. But the Governor had said what he, Mr. Lincoln, should havo said, so much better thin he, Lincoln, could have said it, that ho di ln't know but what he was very much obliged to the' Governor for saying it. Ho then proceeded amid nppliuso to say that tho fa, igne ho had already undergone, Rnd that which he must undergo during the next ten days, admonished him of tho necessity of resting, and ho hoped he would be excused from Joining hands with all his friends. He then retired, and the p igeaats of the day were concluded. In conclusion, I may remark, that tho impression imon the public mind by Mr. Lincoln is that of he ir'y satisfaction. His manner inspired confidence, and brawny fellows on the streets talk of "Old Ah" ns a man of tho people. It would be unjust to close tnis remark without complimenting the brilliant display of tlie Columbus battalion. They exhibited surprising military ifuV,ien:y, especially at tho entrance to the C.tpilo, where the ceremony of conduc'in.r the President to the State Ilousn, without disorder; was skillfully rx'.'cuted in perfect order. The entire day was delightfully spent, no accident occuring, aau everybody enjoying the occasion. Mr. Lincoln will leave tomorrow morning at eight o'clock for Pittsburg, where ho will speak to the people. Ho will also speak at Cltvela-t', Buffalo, Albany, New York, and Har Ilarrisburg. It is asserted by one of Mr. Lincoln's suite, that Mrs. Lincoln's arrangement for going to Washington was changed by recommendation of General Scott, by telegraph, that it would bo prudent for her to accompany her husband, as il would show moro confidence in tho country. This is suid to explain tho change of programme. The guests of Oov. Dennison, generally, were presented to Mrs. Lincoln this evening. VI. u. IS. Tho .11 u mmo tli Fraud . The report of the Houso Special Committee on the great robbory shows Ex-Secretary Floyd to havo been guilty of most unconscionable and deliberate fraud. From $5, 000,000 to $0,000,000 have been obtained from tho treasury on r oyu's acceptance, on protext of meeting claims ol Russell, Majors and Waddcll, when it appears from the rc cof Js o! the War Department that theso par' tics were, at the tuno the acceptances were issuing, regularly receiving their pay. Whore has all this money plundered from tho treasury by the traitor Floyd gone to? It is generally believed that it has b?en sent to Southern traitors to strengthen their sinews against the first step taken in revolution.Thi3 theft by Foyd it can't bo cilled by miMor name is part ol the great Democtat-ic scheme which looked to tho robbery first and then tho overthrow of the Government. Tho treason of Csbb nnl Floyd has led to tho discovery of corruption that tho Covodo Committee failed to detect. No wonder we find to much local corruption and treason in the party wl.on its leaders, boldinz hisrh position in tho Qovornmcnt, prove so utterly treasonable ud light-fingered. Ohio Slate Journal. The London Times, on the 29th of JaDurr, saya : . If, instead of flattery nnd encounging rebellion, Mr. Buchanan had acted up to his re cent declaration thit it is his duty to execute tbe laws, it is very possible that tho fire might have been trampled out be lore it bad time to spread. A small naval force in Charleston harbor and in tbe Mississippi, ceupled with a resolute declaration of tbe only lino ot policy wnicn is open to a rresw dent of the Uuited Stales worthy of his positiona declaration of his unflinching reso lution to employ the whole power of the gov-eminent of wuich he is the head for the purpose ol its preservation would probably have rendered any further appeal to force un-nscossary. But the preciovrs, the irretrievable moments have been allowed to escape, and America must weep in tears of blood the misfortune which - has given to faetion its strongest tnsouragement in the weakness of her ronstitulion and the vacillation of ber Chief Magistrate. Here is something that may be worth considering. The Journal of Health informs ns that a thin shawl may be made warm by filling a newspaper inside of it. The paper is impervious o'the. wind ani 'cold from tbe outside, and prevents the rapid escape of the warm air beneath it. . We would ask if the temper of the paper may not have something to do with it, as a great deal mora heat ia manifested in some pipers than otheis. ' Tho Existing Crisia. Events ttrJd Opinions at the South, , nnm.'. rARS; N IIUOWNLOWON gUBUITTINO TO HTJ' C;LN'g ADMINISTRATION. ' A friend having asked the intrepid eel' itor of the Knoxville Whig, whether, since six States have seceded from the Union, he is willicg to risk himself and State under the Administration of Mr, Lincoln, ho thus replies : . I am willing to risk myself and S'.ate, under the Administration of Abraham Lincoln. I am not, however, willing to submit to the outrages the fire-eaters of the South allege that Mr. Lincoln intends to commit npon the South. I do not bi lieve that he will meddle with the insttttr-tion of slavery where it is, or seek to deprive the South of any right she holds' under tho Constitution. And I believer thnt he will enforce the Constitution and laws of the United States, as his oath of office requires him to do, and as justice try the various sections of the Union demand at bis bands. . ' If I am mistaken in the estimate I have put upon the integrity and patriotism of the President elect, and he Bhall seek to' oppress any one of the States of this confederacy. South or North. I aball ranrl'ili j 'iu me umer oiarea in seeking to punisu him, and in resisting his administration. But I want to see the evidence of this, before I begin the work of resistance I want other proof of the bad faith in which Mr. Lincoln intends to act, tban the prediction of his enemies. I have submitted to the Administration of James Buohanarr for four years, and my State has done so. without a murmur, and I hold that Lin coln cmild not afford the country a more wiuijn, p iiuiti, mm luminous aoministra-tion, if he were to try !

I wi nt in'o the cor.test against Lincohf,-as did aUo mv Stale, knowing hira to be a section d candidate, uron a sectional platform, nnd as wo were fairly beatert, we feel bound in honor to r bide by our defeat for four years lo come. Tbe reign of Lirf coin for twenty years, upon even the Chicago Pialform, is preferable to the breaking up'of this Government. Secession i no remedy for any evil that may arise irt our Government, and I deny its right. The right of the Revolution I admit, but I deny that such a remedy is called for irr the piesent crisis of our affairs. I will bo-told of the mnny grievances we of ther South have suffered nt tbe hands of ' the North. I have considered the nature of these grievances, and thei' effeots upon the commerce, trade and religion of the' South: nnd they may be expressed in" the following words: this democracy or' TUB SOUTH HAVE LOST TUB OfBcES OF THK (IOVERXMIJNT ANU IT3 IMMENSE PATROAOk1 And a largi) majority of the free and in dependant people of Tennesee, taking" this vi. w of the subject, they will refuse to go i ul of tho Union! .: Having ihus fully and frankly answered uiu question propounded, i migut iiere1 and 'c say even moro.

What do the nervous old crones who would tinker tip compromises to be broken by slaveholdinj; traitors whenever it suited their purposes, think of this? Now b t us compromise, by all means. U S Journal. The Chailestonians are like Doom-d iy Miller; they appoint a day, from time to time, when Sumter is surely to bo attacked, but the day comes round, and lik-s the woild, Sumter stands untouched. The country is beginning to believe the brave South Carolinians never intendod anything mote than n grand farcical splurge. Meanwhile, Washington letter says tho government is preparing aga'nst any possible emergency, by concentrating reinforcements of men and supplies, ready to be rushed into Charleston harbor if the attack begins, and tho first gun will be tho sig nal for the sailing of an overwhelming tleet to tho rescue of Anderson and his brave comrades. Finiintitl Aiieed .te, Somo time dining tho past yoar, when the Saving's Banks of Bulfilo resolved to pay no interest on deposits amounting to more than two thousand dollars, a thrifty marchant who had about $-1,000 snugly laid np in ono of tho institutions, consulted with himself as to how ho should uianago to obtain interest on i he whole sum. Ho finally approached tho president, and asked to withdraw $2,000 of his money, and re deposit It in the name of his wifo. The officer demurred at first, professing conscientious scruples, but being of an nccommodating tempornmont, fin-i ly consented to tho arrangement. The cash was accepted in tho name of Mrs. merchant aforo-said, and six per cent, per annum accumulated upon the whole, as before. But a crisis came at last. A few weeks ago tho lady died, without having previously conveyed her sharo of the household foi tune back to her husband. As she died without issue, her personal property naturally reverts to other heirs, and thus tho merchant's hard earned $2,000 are liko'y to pass forover fro.m his control. The moral is obvious. Buffalo Courier. Tho European Times of January 23lh says : The End of Garibaldi's English Le gion xng itoturu noriio. Mr. Lmdor Piead gives an account of the way in which the last detachment of Garibaldi's English legion was sent home. It was inten ed tosjnd them to England by steamer, but this idea'was abandoned and they are despatched overland, very indifferently provided for tho Journey. All the men spoke well of their treatment through the French tenitory. The French railway officials, and all the agents with whom they camo in contact, paid the kindest attentien to the helplessness of their language and the stcut vacuity of their stomachs : and at fie various refreshment stages it wag frequently said, Oh, give them doublo rations, they are English. Arrived in London, they found that the Garibaldi fund was exhausted. The destitution of some men was painful in gome cases honorable, in others ludicrous. Some men went to Genoa to be paid rather than hang about Naples aftor being discharged. At Genoa passes were given them to go overland, but tbe railway ageots, probably in lack ol suitable instructions, did not recognize the orders, and the men paid their way with their last penny, bringing the dishonored passes with them in proof. Several men had lost knapsacks blankets and swords, by leaving hem in charge of someone, while they aided cn board a disabled comrade. Others were left behind through generoog da-lavs of the game nature, and bad to py, or beg, or borrow their way home. , Why is i clergyman near' the end of his sermon like boy who his rent his tntegri. aunts ?

A great crowd welcomed him at tho depot with cheers, nnd the cannon thundered. The Columbus bnttitliun in brilliant array received him at the coach prepared for hira with presented, arms, and the surrounding houses were radiant with national flags and gaily drossed women. Many rushed to thu coach nnd grasped Mr. Lincoln's hands with cordial fuvor, each salute being received by him with a sweeping bow comprehending the multitude. After some time, the coach drawn by fjur bay horses, magnificent and spirited of course, as horses always are in poetry, turned up the broad avenue leading to the State House, escorted by the military and a long procession of hardy yeomanry, who awakened the echoes with jubilant shouts. Ladles and children thronged every door-way and window along the lino of march and waved Imndkerchiefs and lit'.lo nags innumerable. As the conch drew up at the gate of the Capitol, a sceno of splendii animation was presented multitudes of people of all ngos, si xes, nnd conditions thrcnged the porticoes and avenues of approach. Men rushed at the coach voraciously, as if it was their intent to devour its contents, but the Committees clung to their chvge with unyielding tenacity, and 'Old Abe' was finally philandered through j Ihe swaying throng into the Governor's npartments, and thence to the Hull ot the House, whero the General Assembly was met in joint Convention to receive the people's guest. Here, too, were gay Indies packed into the galleries, thickly and j carefully as ripe peaches in a willow bas- Kef, each eager to see nnd hear. Mr. Lincoln was finally nnnouncod, and npp roach ing in front of the Speaker's desk, under escort of Gov. Dennison, thu litttf-r addressed the President of tho Sen-ato as follows: Mr. President I l ave the hon:r to introduce through you to the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, tho President elect of the United States. Lieut-Gov. Kiik responded with manifestations of profound feeling: THK LIEUT. GOVERNOR'S REMARK3. "On this day and probably within this very hour the Congress of die United Slates wi 1 declnro the verdict of the people making you their President. It, is my plea-mi'ablo duty in behalf of the people of Ohio, spenking through tliis General Assembly, to welcome you lo their capital. Never in the history of this Government has such fearful responsibility rested upon the Chief Executive of the nation ns will now devolve upon you; never since the memorable tims when our patriotic fathers gave (xistince to tho American Republic have the p ople looked with suchintt-nsi-ly of feeling to the inauguration and future policy of a President ns they dj to yours. 1 noe-i not -Assure you that the pe pie of unio have lull conhdei.co in your ability and patriotism and will respond to you in their loyality to the Union and the Constitution. It would seem that the prob lem of self-government is to be solved under your administration. All nations are deeply interested in its solution and are waiting in breathless anx'ety to know whethf r this form of government, which has been tho admiration of the world, will prcvo a failure. It h the earnest and united prayer of our people that llie same kind providence which protected us in our colonial struggle?, has attended us thus far in our prosperity nnd grcatnefs, will so imbue your mind with wisdom that you may dispel the datk clouds that hancr over our political horizon and thereby secure the return of harmony and fraternal feeling to our now distraoted and unhappy country. God grunt their prayer mnv bo fully realized. Again I bid you a cordial welcome to our capital." Mr. Lincoln replied rs follows: mr. Lincoln's speech in response to tub LIEUT. OOVERNJR. Mr. President, Mr. Speaker, and gentlemen of the General Assembly. It is true, as has b.-en said by the President of the Senate, that a very groat responsibility rests upon me, in the position to which the votes of the American people have called me. I am deeply sensible of that weighty responsibility. I cannot but know what you all know, that without a name, or perhaps with a reason why I should have a name, there has fallen upon me a task such as did not rest even upon the Father of his Country; and so feeling, I cannot but turn nnd look for the support without which it will be impossible for me to perform that great (ask. I turn then and look to the American people, and to that God who has never forgotten them. Allusion has been made to the interest felt in relation to tho policy of the new administration; on this I have received from somo a degree of credit for keeping silent and from others some deprecation. I still think I was right. In the varying and repeatedly shifting scenes of the present, without a precedence which could enable us to judge by the past, it has seemed filling, that before speaking upon the diuicuities ot tbe country, 1 should have gained a view of the whole field, to be sure, and after all being at liberty to modify and change the course of policy as future events may make a change necessary. I have not maintained silence from any want of real anxiety. It is a good thing irhere there is no more than anxiety, for there is nothing wrong. It is a consoling circumstance that when we look out there is nothing that really hurts anybody; we entertain different views npon political questions, but nobody is suffering anything. This is a most consoling circumstance, and from it ws may conclude thnt all we want is time, patience, and a firm reliance on that God who hag never forsaken this people. . . -, i t To W-ci liens, what 1 have raid I have said altogether extemporaneously, and I will now coma to a close." The General Assembly applaudod, and interpreted the speech trust in Oud nnd keep your powder dry. The Joint Convention adjourned, and the respective brunches then adjourned, when Mr. Lincoln, after a few momenta, was escorted to iho western portico of the C-tpitol, and was presented to an enthusiastic people by Gov. Dennison. He then spoko 89 follows: MR. LINCOLN TO ME PK PLE. Ladies and Gentlemen: I appear before you to address you very briefly. I shall do little else than thank you for this very kind reception, greet you and bid you farewell. I should not lind strength if I were otherwise inclined to make speeches of any great length, upon every occasion similar to this, which may occur on my way to the Federal Capital. The General Assembly of Ohio has just done mo the very high honor to reocive me, and and to hear a few broken remarks from me. Judging from what I saw, I iifer that reception was without party distinction, nnd one of entire kindness. One that ha l nothing in it bevond a felling of tho citizenship of the United States of America, , Knowing as I do, that any crowd drawn together as this Ins been, i3 made up of the citizens hereabout, nnd that in this coumy of Franklin there is great difference of political sentiment, and those agreeing with me have a littlo the shorter row. (Ltughtor.) From this, and the circumstances I have mentioned, I infer that you do me liio honor to meet me hero without distinction of partr. I think this is as ii should be. Many of you who were not fivorable to my election lo the Presidoiicy, were fivorable to the election of tho distinguished Sena'or from the Plate i:i Inch I reside. If Senator Douglas had been elected to tho Presidency in the late con test, I think my friends would have joined heartily in meeting, and greeting him oa his passage through your Capital, as you have greeted me to-day. If any of the other candidates had been elected, I think it would have been altogether becoming and proper for all to havo j lined in showing honor quite as well to the office and the country, as to the man. The people aro themselves honored by such a concentration. I am doubly thani- fnl that you have appeared hero to give mo this greeting. It is not much to me, for I sh.ill very soon pass away from you, but we have a large country, and a largo future before us, and such manifestations of good will towards tho Government, and affection for the Union, will bo of im mense vilue to you and your posterity for ever. a tins point ot view it is that I thank you most heartily for the exhibition you Lave given me, and in tins allow ra-j to bill you an affectionate farewell. A great shout went up when the speech was spoken, and a great b.i.ly of brawny humanity rushed up the Capitol steps, and swarming about the distinguished guest seemed about to overwhelm him, but his escort, making a dex'erous dolour around one of the huge columns ot the portico, got him into tho Slate House, and tho cer-berus of the Capitol, shut elf communication by closing the portals. Mr. Lincoln was then backed up against the granite of the northern arch of the rotunda, when tho southern doors were opened, and the eager crowd charged through the corridor and up the stairs with vigor little short of ferocity. A score or so of ladies in the rotuuda, fearing the coming storm, fled in dismay up tho staircases into the galleries and look d down in dismay upon the ludicrous scene so suddenly created. In the spaco of a second the ntunda was packed with a dense mass of humanity, wedged almost immovably into the spacious area. Hero and there, an arm vibrated fniiously; now nnd then a broad chest would heave itself above the crowd, but little else but heads could be seen until the drift broke on the north side, then there was a surge and a howl with now and then a mighty volume of voices, which swelling u ) into the vast rotunda, almost shook its granite sides. Then, again, the outside crowd would rush to-wards the center, and the center would r-sist still; back again, the cenlrope'al force threw itself with u vehemence, which puffed up the center like a moh-hill. Now the polica interfered with official fussino3S, nnd ineffectually, until the whole mass heaved with irrepressible excitement. Hats were crushed as if they had been so many egg shells, and swallow- ail coats were robbed of comeliness, and huge oiths illustrated a sad defit iini-y m Sun day school training. But it was all good-natured. Old Abo, .meantime, vibrated like an old fashioned ship telegraph, reaching out bis long arms two yards ahead, and grasping brawny fists in swift succession, to the undiminished throng, until he seemed like one who was wearied of his prodigious labors. The crowd, in fact, nually used him up and treed him our distinguished guest taking refuge on the stairs leading to the library room,, where he disposed of the public by politely bow-ing to their salutations. The general sentiment of the people was decidedly favorable to their guest. Many of the hard-fisted pronounced him a first rate specimen of the' American people. One old fellow said he was hearty as a buck, and that suited him. At about 6 o'clock, Mr. Lincoln, almost exhausted, left tbe State House, and got some rest at Gov. Denni- son's mansion, where Mrs. Lincoln and Bob were being hospitably entertained. W. D. B. SECOND DISPATCH, ; Columbus, Feb. 13. A fter an afternoon of turmoil and confusion, and physical effort, in the way of shaking" hinds, as laborious as splitting rails, Mr. Lincoln escaped Irom the multitude by seceding from the .State House through the Benate chamber and enrolling clerk's office, and obtaiced a lit tle ie;t at the Governor s mansion. At half past six a large company of gentlemen, members of the General Assembly, and many othcrcitiisensof Ohio, w'uhout distinction of party, were hospitably en ertained, by the Governor, the President elect, of course, bping the ol ject of universil atten-lention. Each guest was introduced until the ceremony stood acquitted, when Mr. Lincoln relaxed, and displayed to admiring circles those social graces which have distinguished him as much ns his honesty and his ability in political debate. Gentlemen, universally, assented to his attractive manners. Democrats, especially, ex-pressing greater satisfaction with Mr, Lincoln in the social circle than as an impromptu orator, and it was uniformly remarked that his portraits aru sheer caricatures, conveying no idea of the character and tlie wining expression of his countenance. There Is a wonderful magnetism about him, and it is not strango that Lis personal friends nre so profoundly attached to him. , With one or two exceptions the place seekers acquitted themselves like gentlemen. At half past eight Mr. Lincoln was again escorted to the Capitol, where a Inrge company of ladies and their attendants were assemb'ed in she hall of the house to see him. The company wero invited to cnll at tho Governor's np.irt- ments. but they insisted that Mahomet should como to them, and he came. Governor Dennison made a neat little speech, npologizing for Mr. Lincoln, alleging that extreme Xatigue would compel him to forego the pleasure of shaking hands all round. The President elect very gracefully re-maiked that wh?n ho found he must come to the ladies, In had very properly reflected upon what he should sny to them, but the Governor bail tuken unfair advantage of him by miking the speech he had intonded to make. But the Governor had said what he, Mr. Lincoln, should havo said, so much better thin he, Lincoln, could have said it, that ho di ln't know but what he was very much obliged to the' Governor for saying it. Ho then proceeded amid nppliuso to say that tho fa, igne ho had already undergone, Rnd that which he must undergo during the next ten days, admonished him of tho necessity of resting, and ho hoped he would be excused from Joining hands with all his friends. He then retired, and the p igeaats of the day were concluded. In conclusion, I may remark, that tho impression imon the public mind by Mr. Lincoln is that of he ir'y satisfaction. His manner inspired confidence, and brawny fellows on the streets talk of "Old Ah" ns a man of tho people. It would be unjust to close tnis remark without complimenting the brilliant display of tlie Columbus battalion. They exhibited surprising military ifuV,ien:y, especially at tho entrance to the C.tpilo, where the ceremony of conduc'in.r the President to the State Ilousn, without disorder; was skillfully rx'.'cuted in perfect order. The entire day was delightfully spent, no accident occuring, aau everybody enjoying the occasion. Mr. Lincoln will leave tomorrow morning at eight o'clock for Pittsburg, where ho will speak to the people. Ho will also speak at Cltvela-t', Buffalo, Albany, New York, and Har Ilarrisburg. It is asserted by one of Mr. Lincoln's suite, that Mrs. Lincoln's arrangement for going to Washington was changed by recommendation of General Scott, by telegraph, that it would bo prudent for her to accompany her husband, as il would show moro confidence in tho country. This is suid to explain tho change of programme. The guests of Oov. Dennison, generally, were presented to Mrs. Lincoln this evening. VI. u. IS. Tho .11 u mmo tli Fraud . The report of the Houso Special Committee on the great robbory shows Ex-Secretary Floyd to havo been guilty of most unconscionable and deliberate fraud. From $5, 000,000 to $0,000,000 have been obtained from tho treasury on r oyu's acceptance, on protext of meeting claims ol Russell, Majors and Waddcll, when it appears from the rc cof Js o! the War Department that theso par' tics were, at the tuno the acceptances were issuing, regularly receiving their pay. Whore has all this money plundered from tho treasury by the traitor Floyd gone to? It is generally believed that it has b?en sent to Southern traitors to strengthen their sinews against the first step taken in revolution.Thi3 theft by Foyd it can't bo cilled by miMor name is part ol the great Democtat-ic scheme which looked to tho robbery first and then tho overthrow of the Government. Tho treason of Csbb nnl Floyd has led to tho discovery of corruption that tho Covodo Committee failed to detect. No wonder we find to much local corruption and treason in the party wl.on its leaders, boldinz hisrh position in tho Qovornmcnt, prove so utterly treasonable ud light-fingered. Ohio Slate Journal. The London Times, on the 29th of JaDurr, saya : . If, instead of flattery nnd encounging rebellion, Mr. Buchanan had acted up to his re cent declaration thit it is his duty to execute tbe laws, it is very possible that tho fire might have been trampled out be lore it bad time to spread. A small naval force in Charleston harbor and in tbe Mississippi, ceupled with a resolute declaration of tbe only lino ot policy wnicn is open to a rresw dent of the Uuited Stales worthy of his positiona declaration of his unflinching reso lution to employ the whole power of the gov-eminent of wuich he is the head for the purpose ol its preservation would probably have rendered any further appeal to force un-nscossary. But the preciovrs, the irretrievable moments have been allowed to escape, and America must weep in tears of blood the misfortune which - has given to faetion its strongest tnsouragement in the weakness of her ronstitulion and the vacillation of ber Chief Magistrate. Here is something that may be worth considering. The Journal of Health informs ns that a thin shawl may be made warm by filling a newspaper inside of it. The paper is impervious o'the. wind ani 'cold from tbe outside, and prevents the rapid escape of the warm air beneath it. . We would ask if the temper of the paper may not have something to do with it, as a great deal mora heat ia manifested in some pipers than otheis. ' Tho Existing Crisia.

I am willing to risk myself and S'.ate, under the Administration of Abraham Lincoln. I am not, however, willing to submit to the outrages the fire-eaters of the South allege that Mr. Lincoln intends to commit npon the South. I do not bi lieve that he will meddle with the insttttr-tion of slavery where it is, or seek to deprive the South of any right she holds' under tho Constitution.

But I want to see the evidence of this, before I begin the work of resistance I want other proof of the bad faith in which Mr. Lincoln intends to act, tban the prediction of his enemies.
