--A Springfield correspondent informs us that some time ago a mysterious looking box was sent by express from Tennessee to President Lincoln, who, mindful of the old adage us to the danger of accepting gifts from enemies, declined to open it. Accidentally, however, the contents of the mysterious case came to light, and it was ascertained that the supposed infernal machine was nothing more nor less than the effigy of an African.
