The breach betweenthe two men was now believed that it was the in-fluence of Stanton whom he hadaccused of working deliberatelyagainst him.

On the morn-ing of the third of October, 1862,when he was leaving McClellans tentto look over the army in camp, heagain stood before one of the warcameras and this rare photograph isthe witness. Comparatively few ofthis generation have any clear ideaof how the real Lincoln looked as hepassed through the heart-rending or-deal from 1861 to 1865. This photo-graph shows him in his characteristicattitude. At his right stands Pinker-ton, one of the shrewdest detectivesthat the world has produced. Theofficer in uniform is Major John , who was appointed tocommand the Army of the West andfought at Fort Donelson, Shiloh andVicksburg, but who was in the Eastat this time. From Lincolns visit re-sulted McClellans deposal. Neve
