HEVEHDY JOHNSON. Personal History and Peculiarities— Ills ItHarlon to England. 'l:he Washington correspondent of the St. Loire' 'Democrat gives the following interesting personal history of Reverdy Johnson : The old legal and social acquaintances of Mr. Johnson' say 'this (I quote the exact words,-very nearly, from a leading lawyer of Frederick, Mary land) :. •illeverdy is over there in England merely as an advocate. He went thereto settle these Ala bama claims, and be means to do it. Johnson took - Trim-'or the - place, - knowing - his power - and familiarity with English statesmen, and Reverdy has been quietly establishing a social and profes sional correspondence with that side for these fifteen!or twenty years =not - with - this - particular. design in -mind, of course, but with the intent to distinvish himself, someday, in patriotic diplo- "les Mr. Johnsen love the English people?" I said to the same gentleman. "Yes, we all 'do—the'gentlemen, that is, of old English deseent in the former colonies of Mary land' and Virginia. England has no such friends as the lawyers of the Wayland bar—students of her common law. At the same time, Reverdy is a stout American patriot. He took a musket as a private soldier at the battle of Bladensburg, in the volunteer company of William Pinceney,and a shot fired over his head (for he is a low man in stature), killed a tall man directly behind him. "Yee, sir I Reverdy is a thorough patriot. WS attitude at the beginning of this war was as resolute as a prize fighter's. He is a perfect bull dog even at his age of seventy-five, and would fight a duel to-day as quick as he would eat." MR. JOHNSON AS A FIRE-RATER. I find that I cannot write this story of Mr. Johnson with the spirit it shoukthave, unless I give the name of my chief informant, and this I sun not authorized to do. Sufficient it is to say that he is a totemporary at the bar and a kins man of Mr. Johnson, a secessionist and a politi cal opponent Of our Minister Plenipotentiary. Thus much expressed, let me continue this sketch in the conversational form in which it occurred. "Mr. Johnson, you say, is a fighting man? I thought his remarkable trait was his want of moral firmness and his abiding amiability." ''The two things ere consistent. Most men with moral weakness accept a physical quarrel alien escape. I mean that Mr. Johnson, with a pervading disposition to be agreeable and have no violence, is a fire-eater in physical brawls. At _his age he would challenge any man to-day who impugned his faith in his diplomacy. Of course be cannot take notice of 'newspaper criticisms.'" "Did he ever fight ?" "I am not aware that he did but after the fail ure of the Bank of Maryland, 'ln which his name was associated with much reproach, Mr. John /AM challenged a number of people and permitted none to escape without an apology. He lost his eye, you know, because of a duel." "How did he lose that eye, sir ?" "Well, a North Carolina Congressman named Stanley had been Lull-ragging Henry A. Wise, with the determination to make the latter fight or be frightened. Wise finally resolved to suffer this thing no more, but to bring it to a head. So, at a horse-race near Washington City, he ran his horse violently against Stanley's, and then, pre tending to believe that Stanley was the aggressor, turned sharply round and cut the latter with a ethk. Stanley had to challenge Wise, of course, and he went to Reverdy's neighborhood, near Baltimore, to learn how to use the pistol. Some say Reverdy went out to see him fire one day. Stanley's bullet struck a tree and glanced, shot Reverdy in the eye, brought him down, and nearly killed him. lie lay in a bed a long while, his life despaired of. The triends of Stanley and Wise stopped the duel, and Reverdy's misfortune was kept out of the papers." "Does that lost eye give Mr. Johnson any trou ble now-a-days?" "Yee, sir. A cataract has formed over his other eye, and 'he is next to stone blind. They show him a good deal of attention in England (I get lett re from Dim), and he says that In the gal leries of noblemen and gentlemen they show him a good many paintings. With the old fellow's plausible amiability he replies that they are beau tiful, but he eays be never sees anything at all." RRVERDY'S WIFE AND FAMILY. 'Was Reverdy Johnson a handsome man be fore he lost his eye?" "No! lie never was handsome. But his wile, ; Mary Bowie, who is now with him in England— she' and his son Edward, the latter not very bright—was the most beautiful woman in Mary land. Sbe was the daughter of Governor Bowie, an old Governor of the State, a relative collate rally 'of the present Governor Bowie, and also of James Bowie, the inventor of the Bowie knife. She met Reverdy at a party in Prince George county, not more than twenty miles from Wash ington, and it was a clear ease of love at first sight. She was poor and so was he, but both were eminently and gently connected. Reverdy owes all he is to his wife, as his brother John, the Chancellor of Maryland, deceased, has often told me; for she was a beauti ful,faithlui, spirited and ambitious woman, and has kept him. steady and earnest all his days. They have forty odd grandchildren, and have had about ten children. This is their second visit to England, having gone thither years- ago, when Mary Johnson was still handsome, and attracted much attention. At that time Reverdy was United States senator, and Lord Lyndhurst and • many English noblemen were particularly atten tive lie named his fine estate near Bal timore eity,Lyndhurst, on his return, and has been visited there by many English gentlemen And noblemen." _ "Can you recall by whom ?" .".Well I remember notably that a friend of the to him Lord and Lady Amberlyy,. the former, th e son t 4 Earl 'teasel!, and as Hr. Jobneon was introducing them to various Sena tors, it was mentioned to him that Lady Amberly was the daughter of Lord Stanley, cousin, I be lieve, to Lord Stanley, Earl Derby's son." • Said Mr. Johnson ; "I have just received a k i tterfrom Lord Stanley, of Houghton Hall (now English Minister of Foreign Affairs.") •‘'Why I" said 1, "Ws is the secretary with whotn Mr.Johneore is — now treating for the Ala bama claims!" • "Tbe IMMO!

Politically, he has been everything—Whig, Democrat, Know Nothing— and at present has no bold upon the State of Maryland, having been guilty of flagrant incon sistency of pronouncing the reconstruction acts unconstitutional and then voting for their adop tion. He says he did this to keep harder terms from being imposed, but the people "don't sob IL" Reverdy is a hearty but plain liver. He mixes a whisky toddy before dinner, drinks half, eats, finishes the other half, and then takes a nap. He can then get up'aiad write and prepare a brief ail night. "I will tell you an anecdote. Tom Quinn used to be doorkeeper to tbe House of Delegates at Annapolis, and also crier to the court. He was a popular fellow with the lawyers, and assumed familiarities. We used to pay him five dollars apiece when we were admitted to the bar. Ono day Tom Quinn walked up to Revordv, slapped him familiarly on the shoulder, and said: "Rev. I guess I'll take a dinner with you to day." "Very well, Mr. Quinn. Come dine with me, Arrived at Roverdy's house, where only Mrs. Johnson was at home, Tom Quinn beheld upon the table a piece of,corned peel' and a dish of cab bage. Toots countenance fell. "Mr. Johnson," he said, "you lawyers must. be getting rich." "'Why, Mr. Quinn?" "Well! you getood fees, and it seems to me you have very email expenses !" DAYERDVS 'NOUSE TORN DOWN, "What was the occasion Of the Baltimore mob tearing down Mr. Johnson's house, sir?" "Ohl that was thirty or forty years ago. &Nerdy was a director of the Bank of Maryland. The bank failed, and it was the popular presump tion that the directors bad loaned the money to themselves, and failed to pay it up. Excitement ran high against Reverdy Johnson and others. 'The mob assembled before his fine house, .next door to the present Barnum's Hotel, and levelled it to the ground. Suits were brought to test the relative responsibility and criminality of the di rectors, and Nelson, afterwards Attorney-General of the United States, rival and no great friend to Johnson, prosecuted them. He said, in conclu sion, that the Maryland Bank was found to be really the property of a single man, who merely used the names of the other directors, and that Mr. Johnbtart was blameless. The Legislature of Maryland afterwards appropriated money to build up Reverdy's dwelling." "Ileverdy is a good name; where did he get it ?" "From his mother's father, Reverdy Ghilson. Beth his ancestors were Scotch." REVERDY—AB A LAWYER. "Mr. Johnson," 'said I, to this moat circum stantial informant, "is•known to everybody .as a great lawyer. Wherein lies his power?" "In the first , place he is very familiar with the Common law; eq - naltYattome in the statutelaw; and in nisi prius caeca before a jury, he is terrific. No such master spirit ever, tried a case in this country. John McMahon ristsd to say that Wil liam Wirt Masan idiot to Reverdy Johnson in a nisi prius court. Be understands the workings of human nature. lie has the rare power of con trolling his belief, so that on whichever side he happens to be be persuades himself. This gives him the absolute appearance of candor,and questioning a witness, he makes him say what ever he (Reverdy) pleassa. Having worked the witness up to his position, Reverdy praya the court to instruct the jury to find according to the evidence. Then in his speech he looks in the faces of the jury, every element of his nature ap parently invoked in an honest cause, - and justice herself almost believes him. As a stump speaker in the open air he is not strong; in a niss prius court he is Jehovah's armorer. "As a constitutional lawyer he is the best living in this country. His voluntary appearance in the Dred Scott ease extorted from Judah P. Ben jamin, then in .the Senate, this phrase : 'The de cision of the court was supported by the ablest constitutional lawyer in America' (Mr. Reverdy Johnson). "Then Mr. Johnson shares with Judge Taney whatever obloquy is attached to the Dred Scott decision." "Precisely !" "Re volunteered in that case ?" "Yes." "And Judah P. Benjamin is now in Loudon?" "Yes." "So is Mr.-Johnson I" `•Yes." ■be Postal Convemaion with Great Britain.

Washington, November 24,1868. The Colt of tndiein Wuri The Washington correspondent of the Press says : a, There will soon be published a statement of the cestzind causes cif the Indian ware for the past thirty odd years. _The work is now in prepara tion by A. H. Jackson, who obtains his data from the official records. He begins with the Black Hawk war of 1831-'32, which cost directly $2,- 000,000; indirectly in destruction of property, employment of militia,volunteers, pensions, Ste., $3,000,000 more, making an aggregate of $5,000,- 000, attended with'a loss of 4,000 of our people. Officers of the army and Government, including the present Secretary of the Interior, who, served through this war, are unable, even at this late day, to give the real cause of that conflict. They are confident that it was forced upon the Indians in the interest of broken-down, pollti; clans and speculators. The Seminole or Florida war lasted nearly seven'years, employing the army and navy, the militia of Florida, and volua teem from some of the other Stites, costing 1,500 Ilaes and 0100,000,000. The number •of Indians engaged`were estimated by the agents At 5,000 warriors. the'army officers estimated their num ber at 1,000. Nearly 3,000 of them still remain in the everglades of, Florida. The others were removed west of: the, Mississippi. Those still in Florida protest that they were never whipped. The first cause of this out break was inconsequence'of: the interpretation given to three treaties: one requiring a removal of the Seminoles, the whipping of an Indian, and the imprisonment of Osceola, who escaped and became the leader of the war party: About the same time a difficulty occurred with the Creeks, Cherokees, and other Indians, costing in the aggregate $1,000,000. In 1852 came the Sioux war on the Plains. The cause Waßiart Indian killed a cow worth ten dollars, the property of alformon emigrant. This war lasted nearly four years,and cost about three thousand lives and nearly $40,000,000. In 1868 the Cheyenne war, which lasted nearly a year, cost ono thousand lives, and with the Sioux war, at about the same time, $60,000,000. The cause of the outbreak with the Cheyennes was a false charge made against them of stealing a horse worth fifty dollars; with the Sioux the opening of a road, and the establish meet of a road in their country in violation of treaty stipulations. The war with the Cheyennes ended by a treaty of , peace in the fall of 1865. That with the Sioux lasted until the re cent treaty with them by the Peace Com mission. The Cheyenne war again for seven months in 1867 was in consequence of the burning of their village by Gen. Hancock.' It cost about three thousand lives and from $lO,- 000,000 to $15,000,000, not fully settled up yet. On the Pacific elope, during the last twenty year.. Indian outbreaks Dave cost' in the aggregate $300,000,000. In NetiMexico, since the acquisi tion--of-that-Territoryrthree-eampalgnnagainst- the Navajoes have cost $30,000,000. The cause has been the enslavement of Navajo° women and children by the Mexicans. The trouble in that territory with the Indians has made it cost this Government $150,000,000. Indian troubles on a small scale in some of the States and Territories, with the expenses growing out of a war and the claims for the destruction of private property, will make our' Indian troubles foot up nearly 41 . 1,000,0QQ,000 during the last forty years, and in almost every cane the fault was' with the whites. The present conflict with the Choy,. ennui, Apaches, Arrapahoes, Klowas and Cam anches, grew out of a failure to fulfil a treaty agreement and the blundering of of some of our military officers. To destroy the roving Indians, 'foolishly advocated by some, will cost, taking the Seminole war as a criterion, 37,000 of our own people, and $100,000,000 and keep'loo,ooo troops employed ten years. Commissioner N. G. Taylor, Gen. A. H. Terry and Col. S. F. Tappan, of the Indian Peace Commission, are now here. Senator J. B. Hen derson, Lieutenant-General W. T. Sherman, and General John B. Sanborn,also of the commission, are expected to arrive hereon the reassemblingof Congress, when an earnest effort will be made to induce Congress to pass such laws and make such appropriations as may be necessary to enable the Peace Commission to carry out its policy for the civilization and welfare of the Indiana and the peace of the Plains. Should Congress fail to carry out the recommendations of the Peace Commission in their report„"the Commission will be forced as a last extremity to make the hu miliating cdnfession that the civil arm of the Government is powerless in the Indian country to protect and civilize its wards, enforce the law, maintain the faith, and vindicate the honor of the Republic. They aavise the transfer of tee Indian Bureau from the Interior to the War De partment, for the reason that military law is bet ter than no law—army rule for the Indian prefer able to absolute outlawry.

THE Austrian Government has fitted out and -despatched an expeditiont which will sail around the world. It, is under the command of Karl Sherzer, and the objects of the enterprise are to introduce the products of Austrian industry into distant markets, and extend the commerce of the empire. The expedition is under special instruc tions to visit the principal ports of Cilium and Japan, and to proceed thence to California, and cruise along the South American coast. Tite Payment for the Purchase of Alsaska. The Washington correspondent of the inquirer say s: During the consideration in the Senate of the treaty for the purchase of Alaska from the Rus sian Government,and during the subsequent con sideration In the House of the bill for the appro priation of the seven million two hundred thou sand dollars to pay for the same, rumors were rife of a powerful lobby having been employed by the Russian Government tosccure the passage of the appropriation, and that a large amount of the money would never go to Russia at all, but find its way into the pockets of men who were clamorous for the appyopriation of the money for the payment or these barren coasts and frozen icebergs. The recent cable announce ment that only ono million pounds sterling had gone to Russia on account of the Alaska sale, caused no little fluttering here in certain gar ters. It has since transpired that the do the money was drawn from the United States' rea sury here, over two hundred thousand dollo.rs was divided among some disinterested patriots, who had been so vigorously asserting the, Won derful value of this worse than desert waste, and so fearful lest the national honor sheuld be im paired from the non-payment of this money. Of the money agreed to be paid to "certain parties," on the drawing of the funds, some q was to have been paid in amounts which; though large, was not provided in the bond to be paid in gold. The bearer and his paymaster shrewdly drew the gold and borrowed the greenbacks on it to make on it, until they could sell the gold, and thus save forty per cent. It is now alleged that a largo amount , of- the money way Cols- cited by .middlemen , arid _reached the soturces for which it was intended: - One old Man, who <is a great favorite 'With - Secretary Seward,' was "puin" doubtful e extent of $20,000 in gold; yet it is if be really influenced the vote of 'a single member of the Rouse. When Con gress mceta the whole question will probably be , investigatedpand the curtain drastn;tersonti ielde, exposing the "inner workings of that administra tiommochine." , . The sight:Hour. Maw—Opinion of the • Aietorney.aeherull. The Attorney-General's opinion on the Eight- Hour Law, heretoftire referred to, Is_ called out ey a cOMMunidatlen. from a coMinlttee of printers mployed In the Government printhipoflice, ad area:male the PreSident r and requesting him, In behalf of the workingmenjoi the country, to in struct the Attorney-General to give an -opinion upon the true construction of the Eight-Hour law, and_ asking. that ; the latter_ may _answer whether the act reducing the number of hours constituting a day's work, was intended to work a corresponding reduction In the compenaatton for a day's work., Li reply, Mr. Everts says": "There is nothing in the language of the act to indicate such inten tion, nor does this construction seem -*at all con sistent with the aim and purpose of the law, which were reformatory in their character, hav ing ip view the promotion of the physical, intel lectual; and moral Welfare "of - these who are en gaged in manual labor; and. -tist the general In terests of society. The theory appears to have . been, that the labeling man or ineeimmie,by means of increased physical strength "and'` vigor; -ac quired through a reduction of his hours of toll, would be enabled to accomplish daily as much upon an average in eight hours' constant labor, as he formerly , did, in „ten, or even a longer period, while at the same time he would enjoy a longer season for mental and ` " moral Improve ment. The plain import • of , the law is that a laborer, workman or mechanic in the employ of the Government, , , , whether hired by the day, week or month, - only be required to work eight hours a day to earn his daily, Weekly or monthly wages, whatever these may be. The rate of his compen sation Is left to the eontrol'of the same anodes and laws which governed it before. The conclu sion to which the Attorney-General comes is,that the recent act does not reonire that the wages of the shortened day`of Government labor should be reduced in the proportion of the hours of labor, and that the act as little requires that the wages of this shortened day should be as large as the wages of the longer day of private employ ment." General Grant's Report. The following is the report, WWI, of the Gen eral of the dnny for the present year : BEADquetraTts ARMY OVTHE UNITED STATES, WABIIINGTON, D. C., Nov. 24, 1868. General J. M. Schofield, Secretary tf War : Sin: I have the honor to submit the reports of division, district and department commanders for the past year. These reports give a full, account of the opera. bons and service of the army for the year. I re fer you to them for details. I would earnestly renew my recommendation of last year, that the control of the Indian be transferred to the War Department. I call special attention to the re eommendation of General Sherman on this sub ject; it has my earnest approval. It is unneces sary that the argument in favor of the transfer should be restated. The necessity for It becomes stronger and more evident every day. While the Indian war continues, i'do not deem any general legislation for the reduction of the army advisable. The troops on the Plains are all needed. Troops are still needed in the Southern States; and fur ther reduction can be made in the way already used and now in — operation, where IC is - safe, namely: By allowing companies to diminish by dcharges without being strengthen - a by re cruits, or by stopping appointments of second lieutenants if it shoula be deemed advisable. The Veteran Reserve Rti.firnent might be discontinued by absorption and retirement of officers and dis charge ot men, without detriment to the service. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, U. S. Gnasr, General. The -Insurrection in Cnba. Nnw ORLEANS, Nov. 28.—This morning's pa nels pubillsh a communication dated Havana, November 25, signed Antonio. Lucre, Secretary, purporting to be from the representatives of the Provisional Repirbßean government of Cuba, re established-in the town of Baynmo, refuting the reports circulated in reference to the revolution ary movement in Cuba. They say that the prop ositions for delay, or to lay down their arms, on condition dt the Captain General guaranteeing• certain reforms,were scornfully and unhesitating ly rejected by the revolutionary chiefs; that thby arc not fighting for reform but for independence. They conclude • "We, who are fully informed of everything going'• on, and particularly well In formed as to the plans of the revolutionary leaders,with whom we are in communication, beg to assert most positively tint, far from being dis posed to lay down our :,rue, we are about to strike a blow Unit will echo on the Continent. We will lay down oar arms when Spain shall have recognized our independence, and not be fore, notwithstanding Spanish assertions and rumors to the contrary. By . order of the redo lutionary junta now -in session in the city of Havana, the 25th day of November, 1868." A Great Daily Ducks. The Louisville Courier, in noticing a visit of "Johnny" Morehead to that city, is re minded of an amusing incident that occurred in the good old days when his father was Governor of Kentucky. Amen, who kept a restaurant and drinking saloon in Frankfort, rendered his monthly accounts to "Johnny" (the boys could get credit then), which amounted to $l5O. "Johnny" went to his father to get the money. "One hundred and fifty dollars, Johnny ?" said the Governor ; "it's a large bill, son." "Yes, I entertained a great many friends during the month." "Have you the bill with you ?" "I believe 60' 7 —hesitatingly. "Let me see it, son." "Johnny" slowly drew forth a long strip of bill paper, on which were exactly thirty-one items put down as "Dk's," ranging from ten cents to as many dollars. The Governor adjusted his specs, and regarding it attentively, said: "D'ks.—Johnny, my son, what does D'lrs stand for ?" "Ducks, father ducks ! But, of course they were not all ducks—some were part ridges and snipe, and even eggs and oysters. But Lou Murray puts them all down as ducks." The Governor looked first at "Johnny" and then at the bill,and giving an ominous"hem," wrote a check. Nobody ever believed the Governor was fooled, but after that—" Will you take a duck ?" was for a long time a favorite con vivial invitation with the Frankfort boys. The [thither or 11111ton—Itiore Evidence. A correspondent of the Boston Transoript says: notice in the London Aihencetint a communication from Colonel Chester,settling the question as to the maiden name of Milton's mother, which has bafiled the researches of the poet's blographers,not excepting his latest and thoroughest, Professor Masson. Readers will find something in relation to Colonel Chester's investigation among the old Mar riage Allegations in the Bishop of London's registry, from which he obtains his informa tion in this matter, in the last (October) num ber ot.the Historical and Genealogical Regis ter, page 464, top of the page. "Dean Stanley speaks highly of Colonel Chester's aid to him, in his preface . to his Memorial of Westminster A,bbey. The se lection of Colonel Chester to edit the Register of that Abbey is a compliment of the highest kind. lam told that there is scarcely an antiquary in England that would not have accepted the position with gladness:- The antiquarians of the United States mayirwell be proud of Colonel Chester and Mr. H. G. Sornerby, who.represent them in England." EILAILDWAIISIE, NP ANIOSTENITOLM'S -- POOKET In KNIVES, PEARL and - STAG HANDLES, of beau tiful finish.
