Pickett Orme 38, yh Ere, ant DOODDODODGODHHOOOSGHOGDHHHNDDOOOSOHSOOS No. 22—GEN. ROBERT TOOMBS, Con- federate Presidential Candidate. A the Semmes charade party, given for the benefit of Confederate soldiers, a number of the guests had collected around Gen, Robert Toombs, among them Mrs. Seddon, Mrs Robert Ould, Senator Hill of Georgia, Gen Simon Buckner and Gen. John Morgan. | Gen. Toombs was talking of the visit of the Prince of Wales to the White House. “Such an amiable boy he was, watching his host and following his examplo in Httle social ways in deference to his new surroundings. Fortunately, tho . Reesidential manners were not bad for a youth to copy. And such a boyish ciAp. Coming in late of nights and breaking the Presidential slumbers with the query: ‘Where are those cigars you promised me?” Walking in the con- ervatory with his host, he asked: ‘May I break a flower? I want to send it home.’ ‘Break anything you like,’ replied Mr. Buchanan, hospitably. ‘May I break hearts? ‘You have all'ours to do with as you will,’ was the President’ answer, One likes to think of that pretty, graceful, happy boy taking his first view of a republic and maybe storing up some democratic ideas for use when life's April days are gone. President Buchanan never had as much appreciation as he deserved for his really earnest efforts to ward off this infernal war. It was the first time a President of the United States had been met by a problem of that kind, and perhaps it was not unpardonable weakness that caused him to be led in one direction by Cobb and Slidell and Benjamin and in the opposite by Judge Mack, The diplomatic weapons with which he put an end to the war in Utah in the beginning of his administration were so successful that I believe, bent upon war as we were, if he had had a little more time he might at le: have postponed the evil moment. “The United States Army lost most of its Southern officers,” remarked Senator Hill. “Yes, but there were many who remained faithful to the old flag. It depended largely upon the place where they were born. The Virginians camo with us, those who were most prominent, except Scott and Thomas, and they hesitated. Scott was born in Petersburg and had a Richmond wife. He loyed Virginia and he loved the Union; the ‘pound of flesh’ lay on the Union side. I was intimate with the old fellow and liked him, I served with him in the Creek war. Afterward, when I was in Congress, we met upon the level, with no difference of rank between us, and became fonder still of each other, At @ ‘pulse feeling’ dinner at Wormley's in Washington, at which there wero Unionists and Secessionists—the majority voice, however, being for with the cocktails Ben Hill proposed ‘the Union’ and Gen, Scott responded: ‘The Union, the Union, we must save the Union.’ Every course and every glass of wine drought forth the same response, ‘The Union must be saved, gentlemen.’ When the coffee was brought in, I said: “ ‘General Scott, I can read your {nnermost poul, and I know the Union ts Gear to you. In a steamboat explosion \ on the Mississipp!, when the passengers wore in the water and the effort was, of \ course, to eave the women and children first, a woman, half frantic, ran up and town the bank, screamin: lave that ed-headed man, for God's sake! Save i Her appeals touched the heart one who, at the risk of his life, sought the red-headed man to shore. ‘The frantic woman seemed to feel no further interest in him and when the rescuer expressed surprise at her indit- ference, she replied: “Oh, he owes me ten thousand dollars,” The Union, Gen- eral Scott, owes you seventeen thousand dollars a year.'” Toombs was a man of fron will and so obstinate that it was not surprising 3 @ that after a quarrel with his party he, with his friend, Mr. Stephens, should ROBERT TOOMBS vote for Mr. Webster, who had been for months dead. He was a0 fiery and gloquent a secessionist that the casual reader has been aceustomed to think him an original disunionist. But when the election of a Preeident for the Confederacy was held Toombs was thrown out because ten years before he had stood for Union principles, Remembering him as he paced back and forth like a caged lon before the door of the room in which President Davis and some of the members of his Cabinet were preparing to give the signal for firing on Fort Sumter, we cannot help wondering what would have been the result had he been the guiding mind of the Confederacy, with the power to withhold that fatal shot. ole Betty Vincent’s Advice to Lovers ead ] Chance equaintances. are they should not be approached save through the medium éf a formal intro- I’ ought not to! duction, be necessary to| caution any|A Selfish Mother. young woman who} “D.
