The Decease of Elder .Pcnulbackor— l hc Parson Indulges in Appropriate Reflection*,, ■ * ■ Post Ovkis, Coneemhx X Roads (Wien is in the State uv Kentucky), January 25, 1808. Wuhby wun we go! - Wun bywun the tail-oaks wich hev stood, onmoved, the blasts uv time, totter and fall! We view their pros trate forms a second, methinks, they sink into the earth and are lost to site, tho to meniry dear,, forever. Then around the old stomp the young sprbuts grow up more vicorouscr than ever. I ain’t slingin these moral refleeshuns for nothin. I never waste the pathetics. When ever a man is pulled drowndid from the creek in this visinity, which happens, frekently, there bein three distilleries onto it, I never weep until I see whether he belongs to my congregashun. It requires too much of an effort to weep, to do it on all okkashuns. Elder Ahslum Pennibaoker,. to-wunst the strength and ornament uv the meetin-house uv wich I hev bin for two years the pastor, departid this life at 2 P. M. afternoon. For him I weep, for him the teers is flowin over the paper onto wich these „ lines is penned. I am writin qm in the presence uv the wife and children uv the deceest, and it does cm good to setbme affectid. When one kin confer satisfaction: at so little trouble ez to cany an onion in his pocket handkerchief he wood be a- broot indeed ef he did not prove hisself ekal to the Occasion. , Elder Pennibaoker wuz horn in the eastern part uv Pennsylvany, uv real old Democratic stocki He Wuz horn amid the scenes uv the war uv Independence, and he growd up with Revolooshenary metnrics inspirin him. His father fought in the Revolooshcn, havin comb all the way across the Atlantic to do ft. He wpz a Hessian, * and therefore Wuznt penshund by the Amcrikin Govennent But at the Fourth of Jooly celebrashens, the old man wuz invited to sit 6n the stand, the yomanry uv that seeshun not knowln that it made any diffrence ez to the side he took in the struggle. Young Abslum growd up amid exelent in flooences. TJher wusnt no skools in thevi mnity in his infancy, and jist ez he mite hev bin contaminated by em, his father moved to Kentucky, wher he wuz safe from all sich. The old gentleman dyiu, Abslum inherited the paternal akers ana paternal niggers, and become a man among men. The genius uv the man now began to developT~Hntrameled by the naxrer views uv his paternal ancestor,' he boldly launcht out for hisself. He early distinguished hisself by his inventive genius, wich took the real Kentucky shoot. Twas him wich conceived the idea uv braidin small wire into the lashes uv nigger whips; and not satisfied with that, he,after a month’s bard study, broiight out the improvement in the nigger-paddle uv borin holes into it. He bed a aesprit struggle to git it adoptid. The blind planters uv the neighborhood hed faith in the-old paddle, plain, and the Elder wuz forst to demonstrate, by actooal experiment on his niggers, its sooperiority. He killed twoindoin it, but he triumphed, It wuz found that more chastisement could be in flicted with it in a given ftime, than by the old method, and that it lasted longer. I need not say wat his| politics wuz. He was never nothin but a Bitnocrat. He com jnenst his career by votin three, times for Jack son, and the candidates wich follered In suc •oesfiion hed no cause to complainuv his zeeL Under Bookanan his faithfulnis wuz rewar did. The post offls wich I now hold wuz given him, and he discharged the dooties faithfully and to the best uv his ability. Ea he coedent read, he put wat letters wich arriv out into a box outside, lettin every one- who come take one ef they .wantid to. The paper wich come to the offls for Deekin Pogram he learned to distribbit in two weeks. The out-goin mail he dumped into a Looisville bag, feelin a great load wuz off his mind when it departid. He held the offls till they wantid him to make out a quarterly report. He wuz nonplussed. He either hed to buy a nigger who cood reed and write, or resign, and he resigned. A half-starved Yankee wuz appointid in his stead, who reigned till I' re leeved him. The Elder wuz the happy possessor uv three hundred niggers. They wuz probably the best lot of niggers, ez they run, in North western Kentucky. lie hed three shades uv color. The trader cood find anything in the line uv nigger, up to these three, that he wantid, on his plantashen. Ther wuz the pure Congo, the' agil mulatto, and the come ly quadroon. The Elder hed bin in failin health ever ■ sence 1802. In that yeer he embarkt into a speculashun wich bid fair to make him wun ”uv the wealthiest men in the State,and wood, hed things bin continyood normal. Ther wuz niggerß runnin to the Fedral camps from all parts uv the State, and, the Elder con ceeved the idea uv goin to the said camps and claimin uv em. The offiser in command wuz so anxious to consiliate em that he wood gladly give em up, without bein per tikiler about proofs, and the Elder gathered, in Jthat way, |in two months, over a hun dred. It required a good deel of ridin, and that fatigue, combined with the exposure in cident to L bushwackin Fedral “pickets, wich wuz guardin his fences and sich, brought’ on a Bpell uv sickness from wich he never fully recovered. The'Emancipashen Proelamashen. nearly fimsht him, and he lingered along, a brokenman/ontilJohnson’s22duvFebrooary speech, wich actid ez a tonic onto him. He revived, but the effeck wuz temporary. Ez the Conservatives made headway, he came up, and ez Cpngria. triumphed,he went down, and thus he lived like a c addle in a tin lan tern, flickrin or quiet, ez the wind blowd. He plnckt up ainazinly after the eleckshuns last fell, but alas, the treachery uv Meade and the reinstatement uv Stanton w]uz two blows from wich he cood not hope to recover. And so, yesterday, at 2 P. M., wich in this case meansjpost mortem, he died. “Send in Sairey!” Bed he, and a favorit mulatto woman uv hizzen who, owin to the fact uv her havin eight children who wuz quadroons, hed stayed onto the place, wuz cent for. She sot on the bed/ and the Elder’s head wuz placed in her lap. “Give me my munhey," said he, and a box uv Confederit scrip Wuz given him. And so. with his head in Bairey’s lap, fingerin 'Conredrit scrip and takinlikker but uv a spoon, he passed gently away, .It wuz a troo Kentucky deparcher. “Thisisthe cend uv life!” sed I. “May my eend be like his,” murmured Deekin Pogram, and all was o’er.

The following is the correspondence between General Grant, and President Johnson upon tho reinstatement of Secretary Stanton, presented to the House of- ltejiresentalives yesterday, and partly published lnihe Bulletin of last evening: War Depahtmica-t, Fel). 4, ,1868.— Sir: In an swer to the resolution of tho House Of Repre sentatives of the 3d inst., I transmit herewith copies furnished me by General Grant, of corre spondence between him and the President relat ing to the Secretary.,of .War, and which he re ports to bo all-the correspondence ho had with the President on the subject. I- have had no corfespohdence with tho Presi dent since the 12th' of August last. After the ac tion of the Senate On his alleged reason for my suspension from the office of Secretary of War, I resumed the duties Of that office as required by the, act of Congress, and have continued to dis charge them without any personal or written communication, with the’Presldcnt. No orders have been issued from this department in the name of the President; with my knowledge, and I have received no orders from him. Tho cor respondence sent herewith embraces all the cor respondence! known to me on the subject re ferred to in the resolution of the House of Repre sentatives.. I have the honor to be, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant, Edwin M. Stanton, . 1 Secretary of War. Hon. Schuyler Coifax, Speaker of the House of Representatives. Headquarters Army of the United Btatf.s, Washington, D. C:, Jan. 28.— 111 s Excellency .4. Johnsonj President of the United States—am: On the 24th inst., I requested you to give me in writing the instructions which yon had previ ously given, me verbally, not to obey any order of Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War, unless I knew that it came lfom yourself. To this written request I received a message that has left doubt on my mind of your intention. To pre vent any possible misunderstanding, I therefore renew the request that you will give me written Instructions, 1 and till they are received, will sus pend action on y<rur verbal ones. I am compelled to ask these Instructions in writing in, consequence of,the many gross mis representations, affecting my porsonnl honor, circulated through the press the last fortnight, purporting to como from the President, ot con versations which occurred with the President privately, in his office or in cabinet meeting. 'What is written admits of no misunderstanding. In view of the misrepresentations referred to, it will be well to state the facts in the case. Some time after I had assumed the duties of Secretary of War ad interim, the President asked my views as to the course Mr. Stanton would have to pur sue, in case the Senate should not concur in his suspension, to obtain possession of his office. ‘ My reply”was, in Bubstance, that Mr. Stanton would have to appeal to the Courts to reinstate him, illustrating -my position by citing the ? rounds I had taken in the case of the Baltimore olice Commissioners. In that caso I did not doubt the technical right of Governor Swann to remove the old commissioners and to appoint their successors. The old commissioners refused to give up, however, and contended that no re source was left but to appeal to the courts. Finding that the President was desirous of keep ing Mr. Stanton out of office, whether sustained in the suspension or not, I stated that I had not looked particularly into the Tenure of Office bill, but that what I had stated was a general princi ple, and if I should change my mind in this par ticular ease .1 would inform him of the fact. Subsequently, on reading the Tenure of Office bill'Closely, I found that I could not, without violation of the law, refuse to vacate the office of Secret ary of War the moment Mr. Stan ton was reinstated by the Senate, even thongh the President should order me to retain it, which ho never did. ■ ' Taking this view of the subject, and learning on Saturday,, the 11th inst., that the Senate had taken up the subject of Mr. Stanton’s suspension, after some conversation with Lieutenant-General Sherman and some members of my t tafl', in which I stated that the law left me no discretion as to my action, should Mr. Stanton bo reinstated, and that I intended to, so inform the President, I went to the President for the sole purpose of making this decision known, and did so make it known. In doing this, I fulfilled the promise made in onr last preceding conversation on the subject. The President, however, instead of accepting my view of the action of the Tennro of Office bill, contended that he suspended Mr. Stanton under tho authority given by the Constitution, and tho same authority did not preclude him from re porting, as an act of courtesy, his reason for the suspension to the Senate; that, having appointed me under the authority given by the Constitu tion, and not under any act of Congress, X could not be governed by the act, I stated that the law was binding on me, constitutional or not, until set aside by the proper tribunal. An hour or more was consumed, each re- iterating his views on tho subject, until, getting late, the President said he would see me again. I did not agree to call again on Monday, or at any other definite time, nor was I sent for by the President until the following Tuesday. From the 11th until the Cabinet meeting on the 14ih inst., n doubt never entered my mind about tho President’s fully uudeistanding my position, namely, that it the Senate refused to concur in the suspension of Mr. Stanton, my powers as Secretary of War ad interim would cease, and Mr. Stanton’s right, to resume at once the func tions of bis office would, under the law, be indis putable, and I acted accordingly. With Mr. Stanton I had no communication, direct or indirect, on tho subject of his reinstate ment, during his suspension, and I knew it had been recommended to tho President, to send in the name of Governor Cox, of Ohio, for Secretary of War and thus save all embarrassments—a pro position that I sincerely hoped he would enter tain favorably, General Sherman seeing the Presi dent, at my particular request, to urge this, on the 13th inst. On Tuesday, the.day Mr. Stanton re-entered the office of Secretary of War, General ComBtoek, who had carried my officiai lotter an nouncing that with Mr. Stanton’s reinstatement by the Senate I had censed to be Secretary of War ad interim, and who Baw the President open and read the communication, brought back to me from the President a message that he wanted to see me that day at the Cabinet-meeting. At this meeting, after opening as though 1 were a member of ids Cabinet, when reminded of the notification already given him that I was no longer Secretary of War ad interim, the President gave a version of the conversation alluded to already in this statement. It was asserted that in both conversations I had agreed to hold oh to the office of Secretary of War until displaced by tho courts, or resign, so as to place the President where he would have been, bad I never accepted the office. After hearing tho President through, I stated onr conversation, substantially, as given in this letter. I will add that my conversation before the Cabinet embraced other matters not pertinent here, and which are, therefore, left out. 1 in nowise admitted the correctness of tho President’s statement of our conversation, thongh to soften the evident contradiction my statement gave, I said, alluding to our first conversation on the subject, tho President might have understood me tho way he said, namely, that I had promised to resign ill did not resist tho reinstatement. I made no such promise. I have, tho honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, | Signed] U. 8. Grant, General.

I sought that interview, calling myself at the War Depart ment. My sole object in then bringing the subject to your attention ' was to ascer tain definitely what would •bo ' your own action should , such an attempt be made for his restoration to the War Depart ment. That object was accomplished, for the interview terminated with the distiuct under standing that if, upon reflection, you should pre fer not to become a party to the controversy, or should conclude that it would be your duty to surrender the Department to Mr. Stanton upon action in his favor by the Senate, you were to return the office to me prior to a decision by tho Senate, in order that if, I desired to do so I might designate some one to succeed you. It must have been apparent to you that, bad not this understanding been reached, it was my purpose to relieve you from the further discharge of tie duties of Secretary of War ad interim, and to appoint some other person in that capacity. Other conversations upon the subject ensued, all of them having, on my part, tho same object, anil leading to the same conclusions* as the first. It is not necessary, however, to refer to any of them excepting that of Saturday, the 11th inst., men tioned in your communication. As it was then known that tho Senate had proceeded to con sider the case of of Mr. Stanton, I was anxious to learn your determination. After a protracted interview, during which the provisions of the Tenure of Office bill were fully discussed, you said that, as had been agreed upon in our first conference, you would either return the office to my possession in time to enable me to appoint a successor before final action by the Senate upon Mr. Stanton’s suspension, or would remain at its head awaiting a decision of the question by judicial proceedings. It was then understood that there would be a further con ference on Monday, by which time I supposed you would be prepared to inform mq of your final decision. You failed, however, to fulfill the engagement, and on Tuesday notified me, in writing, oi the receipt of your official notification of the action of the Senate in the case of Mr. Stanton/and at the same time informed me that according to the act regulating the tenure of certain civil offices, yonr functions as Secretary of War. ad interim ceased from the moment-of tho receipt of the notice. You thus, in disregard of the under standing between us, vacated the office without haviDg me notice of yonr intention'to do so. It is but just, however, to say that in your communication you claim that vou did Inform me of your purpose, and thus fulfilled the pro mise made in our last preceding conversation on this siibject. The fact that such a promise existed is evidence of an arrangement of the kind I have mentioned. You bad found in our first conference “that the President was desirous of keeping Mr. Stanton out of office, whether sustained in the suspension or n6t.” Yon knew what reasons had induced the President to ask from you a promise. You also knew that in case yonr views of duty did not accord with his own convictions, it was his purpose to fill yonr place by another appoint ment. Even ignoring tho existence of a positive understanding oetween ns, these conclusions were plainly dedncible from various conversations., It is certain, however, that even under these circumstances you did not offer to return the place to my possession, but, according to your own statement, placed yottrself in a position where, conld I have anticipated your action, I would have been compelled to ask of yon, as I was competed to ask of yonr predecessor in the War Department, a letter of resignation, or else to resort to the most disagreeable expedient of suspending you by a successor. As stated in your letter, the nomination of Governor Cex, of Ohio, for the office of Secretary ol' War, was suggested to roe. This appointment, as Mr. Stanton’s successor, was urged in your name, and it was said that his selection would 6avo fur ther embarrassment. I did not think that in the selection of a Cabinet officer I should be trammeled by such considera tions. I was prepared to take the responsibility of deciding the question in accordance with my ideas of constitutional duty, and having deter mined upon a course which I deemed right and proper, waß anxious to learn the stops you would take should the possession of the. War Depart ment be demanded by Mr. Stanton. Hadyour action been in conformity with the understand ing between us, I do not believe that the embar rassment would have attained its present propor tione. -or tbat the probablllty of Ks repetition would have been so great. I know that with a view to an early termina tion of a state of affairs so detrimental to the pfiblic interests, you voluntarily offered both ou Monday, the 18tu inst., and on the succeeding Sunday, to coll upon Mr. Stanton and urge upon him that the good of the service required his re signation, and I confess that I considered your proposal as a sort of reparation for the failure on your part to act. in accordance with an under-, standing more than once repeated, which I thought had received your flail assent, and under which you could have returned to me that office' which I had conferred upon you, thus saving yourself froifi embarrassment and leaving the rer sponslbllity where it properly belonged, with the President, who is accountable for tho faithful execution of the law. 1 have not yet been Informed by you whether, as twice proposed by yourself, you had called upon Mr. Stanton tad made an effort to induce h}ni voluntarily to resign from the War Depart ment. You conclude your communication with a reference.to our conversation at the meeting of the Cabinet held on Tuesday, the 14 th inst. In your account of what then occurred you say that after the President had given his version of your previous conversation, you stated them sub stantially as given in your letter; that you in nowise admitted the correctness of hisstatements of them—“though, to soften,the evident contra dictions in my statement, I said, alluding to our first communication on the subject, the Preai-, dent might have understood it iu the way he paid, viz.: that I promised to resign, if I did not resist the reinstatement. I made .no such pro mise.” My recollection of what then transpired is diametrically the reverse of your narration. In the presence of the Cabinet I asked you,first; if, in a conversation which tpok placo shortly utter your appointment of Secretary of War mi interim,ij’OU did pot agree either to remain at tilth bead of.the War Department and abide any ju dicial proceedings that might follow non-concur rence by the Senate In Mr. Stanton’s suspension," or. should you wish npt to' become involved iii such a controversy, to put me in the same posi tion with respect to the office as I' occupied pre-V vious to your appointment by.returning it to me in time' to anticipate such gctlon by the Senate, This you admitted. Second. I then asked you if,' at the’ conference -on’ preceding Saturday ! 1 jiud not, to 1 avoid; requested’ 1 you, tostiuevyhat you intended to do,,and fur ther, .if, ,ln reply ta that ipquliy,, you had not re- j ierred to my former conversation, saying, that !’ understood your position, and that your action would he consistent with , thc .nndoratkifdlni; | wbich'/liad been reachZdf'by.t these/ 1 (meA tionB,®sm iqso fcpafedla thtMtartektive. tntirqUfi next aSfecdlff at the’cenolniion Moor intemiw on Saturday sit was no'lSmdfitttopa that we were > to have 1 ! another cohfi^ncespniMonday, bjDfqrb.

This account of what passed between ns at the Cabinet meeting on the 4th inst. widely differs from that contained In your communica tion, for if showa>that, instead of having stated our conversations as given in the letter which has made this reply necessary, you admitted that my recital of them was entirely accurate. Sincerely anxious, however, to be correct in my statements, I have to-day read this narrative of what occurred on the 14th instant to the mem bers of the Cabinet who were then present. They, without exception, agree in its accuracy. It is only necessary to add that,- on Wednesday morning, the 15th, you called pn me, in com pany With Lieutenant-General Sliorinan, and after some preliminary conversation, you re marked that an article in the National Intelligen cer of that date did you much injustice. Ire-; plied that 1 had not read the Intelligencer ot that morning. You first told me that it waß your intention to ! urgefi Mr. Stanton to resign his office. After ; you had withdrawn, I carelully read the article of, which you had spoken, and found that its statement of the misunderstanding between us was substantially correct. On the 17th I caused it to he read to four of the five members of the Cabinet, who were present at our: conference on the l4fh. and they concurred in fha general accu racy, of its statements respecting our conversa tion upon that occasion/, In reply to your com mnnication, I have deemed it proper, in order to prevent further misunderstandings, to make this simple recital of. facts. . ' . Very respectfully, yours, Andrew -Johnson. General U. S. Grant, Commanding TJ. S. Army. Headquarters Army of the United States, Washington. D. C., February 3d, 1868.— TV His Excellency, Andrew Johnson, President of the United Slates— Sin: I have the honor to acknowl edge the receipt of your communication ot the 31st ult, ip answer to mine of -the 28th uIL After a careful reading and comparison of it with tho article in the National Intelligencer of the 15th pit., and the articles, over tho initials J. B. S., in the New York World of the 27th ult., purporting to be based upon your statement and that of mem bers of the Cabinet therein named, I find it to be but a reiteration, only somewhat more in detail, of the many and gross misrepresentations contained in those articles, and which, my state ment of the facts set forth in my letter of the 28th ult. was intended to correct. And here I reassert the correctness of my statement iu that letter, anything in' your reply to It to tho contraiy not withstanding. . I confess my surprise that the Cabihot officers referred to should "so greatly misapprehend the facts in the matter of admissions alleged to have been made by me at the Cabinet meeting of (he Hth nlt., as to suffer their names to be made the basis of the charges in the newspaper articles re ferred to, or agree to the accuracy, as you affirm they do, of your account of what occurred at that meeting. . You know that we parted on Saturday, the ilth nit., without any promise on my part, either expressed or implied, to the effect that I would hold on to tho office of Secretary of War ad interim against the action of the Senate, or, declining to do so myself, would surrender it to you before such action was hod, or that I would see you again at any fixed time on the subject. The performance-’of the promises alleged by you to have been made by me, would have in volved a resistance of tho law, and an incon sistency with tho whole history of my connection with the suspension of Mr. Stanton. From our conversation, and my written protest of. August 1,1867, against the removal of Hr. Stanton, you must have known that my greatest objection to his removal- or suspension wu the fear that some one would be. appointed in his stead who would, by opposition to the laws relating to the restoration of the Southern Btates to their proper relations to the government, embarrass the army in tho performance of the duties especially imposed upon, it by the laws, and that it was to prevent such an appoint ment that I accepted the appointment of Secretary of War ad interim, and not for the pur pose of enabling you to get rid of Mr. Stantou by my withholding it from him, in opposition to the law; or, not doing so myself, surrender to one who would, as the statements and. assump tions in your communication plainly' indicate was sought. And it was to avoidjhls danger, as wtll as to" relieve you from the personal embar rassment in which Mr. Stanton’s reinstatement would place you, that I urged the appointment of Governor .Cox, believing that it would be agreeable to you and also to Mr. Stanton, satis fied as I was that it was the good of the country, and not the office, the latter desired. On the 13th.nit., in the presence of General Sherman, I stated to yon that I thought Mr. Stanton would resign; but did not say that I would advise him to do so. On tiic 18th 1 did agree, with General Sherman, to go and advise him to that course, and on the 19th I had an in terview alone with Mr. Stanton, which led me to the conclusion that any advice to him of the kind would be useless,and so I informed General Sher man. Beiore I consented to advise Mr. Btanton to resign I understood from him, in a conversa tion on the subject, immediately after his rein statement, that it was bis opinion that the act of Congress, entitled “An act to supply vacancies in the Executive Department in certain cases,” approved Feb. 20, 1863, Was repealed by subse quent legislation, which materially influenced my action. Previous to this time I had no doubt that the law of 1863 was still in force, and notwithstanding my action, a fuller examination of the law leaves noquettion in .my mind. whether.it is or isnot repealed. This being the case, I could not now aavise his resignation, lest the same, charges I apprehended from his first removal might follow. The course yon would have it understood I agreed to pursue was in violation of law, while the conrse I did pursue, and which I never doubted you fully understood, was in accord ance with law,-and not in disobedience to any orders of my superior. > And now, Mr. President, when my honor as a seldicrand integrity as a man have' been so violently assailed,; pardon me for saying that I can but regard this whole, matter, from begin ning to ena, as an attempt to involve me in the; resistance of law, for which you hesitated to assume the responsibility in, orders, and thus to destroy my character before the country. I am in a measure confirmed in thiß conclusion by your recent orders directing mo to disobey orders from the Secretary of War, my superior and your subordinate, without countermanding tlie authority I am to disobey With assurance, Mr. President, that nothing less than a vindication of my personal honor anil character conld have induced this correspondence on my part, I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant.

Since March 4, 1801, there have been em ployed by .tlie State Department in foreign countries, in special emergencies, and for s ort ■■ periods, - twenty-two special agents, viz: $* un « D -, Edward h.

He states that hlsbeUef Is that tbeamonnts paid to each of them barely Indemnified them for actnal incurred. The list given docs not embrace the names of law yers employed In forming tribunals in litigations, In volving the rights of the government, or the rights and liberties of citizens of the tlnlied State. Otherwise the Secretary states that the catalogue of expenditures would be largely Increased. He argues the necessity for this appointing power by reference to cases where native bom or naturalized citizens require protection and redress . in places where we have no regular diplomatic or consular agents. Ho’expresses an anxious desire'to see our citizens everywhere protected, and expresses the opinion that any abridgment of Executive functions or authority in foreign countries would now more than ever be In convenient and injurious fo the public wel fare.
