Scarcely had the nation felt its heart throb with grati- tude for the closing of the war and the renewal of peace on a solid and enduring basis, than it was called to mourn the death of Abraham Lincoln, slain by the hand of an assassin. So monstrous secmed the report that few could believe it, and it was not until the arrival of the morning papers that citizens were willing to give credence to the story. But with the perusal of the details came unwilling belief, and soon the tolling bells, the half-masted flags, and the drapery of black gave proof of sorrow.
In the evening a large meeting convened at the court- house, and organized by the selection of Judge Scott as chairman, and Mr. Selby as secretary. Remarks were made by L. D. Campbell, N. C. MeFarland, Rev. J. J. Thompson, and Thomas Moore, expressive of their feel- ings and that of the community generally. Men of all political parties united in this movement. The chairman was authorized to appoint a committee of nine to make suitable arrangements for observance of the funeral cere- monies of the late President. On Sunday large audiences assembled in all of the churches, most, if not all of which were draped in mourning, and the exercises were generally conducted with reference to the solemn lessons of the hour. In the Methodist Episcopal Church, Mr. Thompson had designed an Easter sermon, but in view of the nation's calamity addressed his congregation from 2 Samuel iii, 38: " Know ye not there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" His remarks were eloquent and to the point. In the Presbyterian Church, Professor David Swing, of Oxford, now of Chicago, preached from the ninety-seventh Psah.
In accordance with the recommendation of the acting Secretary of State, Wednesday was observed with fitting ceremonies. All the bells tolled for one hour from 10.30 A. M. Funeral ceremonies were in the Presby- terian Church at 12 noon ; sermon by the Rev. J. Mi. Pendleton. There was also a general suspension of busi- ness from 10 A. M. until 3 P. M., and a display of flags at half-mast. The sermon was from Deuteronomy xxxiv, 8.
At Oxford the various bells were tolled for several hours, flags were shrouded in erape, or displayed at half- mast, and business was almost entirely suspended. This was on Saturday, on the reception of the news. In the afternoon, By a general impulse, a large number of riti- zens assembled in the hall over the market-house, and a meeting was organized, on motion of Professor Swing, . by calling the Rev. Dr. Patterson to the chair. Mr.

THE REBELLION.
Duval was appointed secretary. The Rev. L. L. Lang- stroth opened the exercises by prayer, and then made some remarks; after which,. on motion of Professor Swing, Professor Stoddard, Professor Swing, and Mr. Zeller were appointed a committee to prepare suitable resolutions expressive of the sense of the meeting. An adjourned meeting was fixed at 2 P. M. of the day on which the obsequies should be observed in Wash- ington, in the Third Presbyterian Church. Remarks were made at different times by the Rev. Mr. McSurely, Kumler, and Morris. On Sunday all the public and many of the private buildings were draped in black.
Among those who remained in the army after the close of the war was Colonel Charles Kilgore Smith, the second son of Charles K. Smith, of Hamilton, for a long time one of the leading citizens of this county, and the first secretary of the Territory of Minnesota. He was born in Hamilton on the 22d of October, 1834, and was carefully instructed in all the usual branches of educa- tion, receiving in addition a course of training at the military academy at West Point, to which he was ap- pointed in 1850. The rigorous requirements of the place enfeebled his naturally weak constitution, and the idea of a military life was abandoned, he thought, forever; but at the beginning of the civil war, prompted by duty and patriotism, he entered a company, and, as first lieutenant. aided in drilling and disciplining the troops, accompanied them to Columbus, and when this company finally erys- tallized into one of those formning the Twenty-sixth Regi- ment, he was made quartermaster. He accompanied it to Louisville, its first trip, and was, in conjunction with Colonel E. P. Fytfe, who commanded, highly compli- mented by the press for the able manner in which his duties were discharged. His efficiency and eminent abilities soon attracted attention, and he was promoted to a captaincy, acting as chief assistant in the quartermas- ter's department at Chattanooga before, during, and sub- sequent to the Atlanta campaign. General Rousseau, an excellent judge of men, placed him upon his staff, and evineed by his conduct that be regarded him as one of the most efficient and trustworthy officers in the service. He followed the army in its vicissitudes and perils during irs four years of trials and changes, winning each year higher and higher positions, rising from chief assistant in the quartermaster's department to that of chief quar- termmaster of the department of Georgia, with the grade of colonel. At this time he was on the staff of Major- general Steadman, who was in command of that depart- mint. He was commissione.I major by brevet, March 13, 1865, "for gallant and meritorious services during the war." He did not receive his appointment as major until he had been commissioned a colonel, the appointment of major having been knocked about in the mails for nearly a year before it reached him, owing to the uncertainties of war.
While still very young Le joined the Free Masons, in 32
Washington Lodge, Hamilton, of which his father had so long been an ornament, and carried into his every. day life those principles of honor, good faith, and charity there inculcated. He was naturally a Mason. In the army he aided in establishing military lodges, and through his instrumentality in this respect much suffering was alleviated.
He was in public life a model of integrity and indus- try, but it was in private life that he was justly to be estimated. He was most kind and affectionate. In his deportment to his parents he was respectful, dutiful, and warmly affectionate; to his brothers and sisters he was considerate, loving, generous, and just, and to his friends constant and true. He could be depended upon in all the relations of life to do that which was right and becoming, neither turning away from the weak and afflicted because they were under a cloud, nor courting the society of those favored with this world's goods because their influence might be valuable to him.
His death, from hemorrhage of the lungs, . occurred in Columbia, South Carolina, December 30, 1870, when he lind. barely entered his thirty-seventh year. It cast a decp shade of sorrow over a large circle of friends, and occasioned the deepest anguish in his family cirele. His noble deeds and self-sacrificing devotion have placed his name on the pages of his country's history.
