Recollections of Lincoln Speech and War Reflections
A Boston Journal correspondent recounts a Lincoln conversation in which the late president expressed a belief he would not outlast the rebellion. He spoke of distrust in a peace that would end in disunion, urged the country to accept truth, and noted he might not live to see ultimate victory while wartime divisions persisted.

Flag Raising on Fort Sumter Amid National Joy
The flag was raised on Fort Sumter on Friday the 14th before thousands. Navy officers and army generals attended, including Admiral Dahleteny Bradford, Com. Rowan, Gen. Gilmore, and Major Gen. Anderson. Civilians such as Judge Swayne and Wa. Lloyd Garrison were present. The ceremony featured prayer, Psalm readings, and Anderson’s address, followed by the evergreen flag ceremony, cheers, a 100 gun salute, and the Star Spangled Banner. Beecher delivered an address and a benediction closed the event.
