THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
thELIAIW COCKTIMMEN :—At this second appear
ing to take the oath of the Presidential office, there
is leas occasion for an extended address than there
was at the first. Then a statement somewhat In
of a course to be pursued seemed very bitting and
proper Now, at the expiration of tour years, during
which pnblie declarations have been constantly called
forth. n every point and phase of the great contest
widely still absorbs the attention and engrosses the
energies of the nation, little that is new coald be
presented.
The pros of our arms, upon which all else
chiefly depends, le as well %mown to the public as to
myself, and it is, I treat, reasonably satisfactory and
encouraging to nit With high hope for the future,
Ito prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four veer:
ago,-all thoughts were anxiously directed to . ari Im
pending dell war. All dreaded it; all sought to
avoid IL While the Inaugural address wee hem ,
livered from this place, decotcd altogether to saving
the Union without war. insurgent agents were iu the
city seeking to destroy it without war—seeking to
Ms - solve the Union and diride Its efforts by u ti lot fa
tion_ Both parties deprecated war, hat one of them
would make war rather titan let the nation snrrfr,,
And the other would accept war rather than let It
perish, and the war came.
One-eighth of the whole population were colored
slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but
localized in the southern part of it. There slaves
constituted a peculiar and powerful Interest All
knew that this interest was somehow the more of
the war. To strengthen, perpetuate and extend this
inte•est, was the object for which the insurgents
would rend the Union even by war, while the Gov
ernment claimed no right to do more than to restrict
the territorial eulareetnent of it_
Neither party evpeeted for the war the magnitude
or the duration which it has already attained
Neither anticipated that the cause al the conflict
might cease with, or even before the conflict herby
.. should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph,
and a result less fundamental and astounding. , ,
Both read the same Bible and pray to the same
God, and iamb invokes His aid against the other. .11
may seem strange that any men should dare to ash a
just God's assistance in wringing their bread from
the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not,
that we be not judged. The prayers of Loth could
not be answered. That of neither has been answered
fully. The Ahnighty has tilts own purposes. " Woe
. unto the world bemuse of otfeoces, for it must needs
be that Offences . come; but woe to that man by
whom the offence coo:milt." If we shall suppose that
.Amerleart slavery is oar of these offences, which In

having continned.through ills appointed time, lie
now wills to remote, and that He elves to both

therein any departure from those divine attributes

The rebel newspapers in Richmond not only
profess to regard the recent successes of the
national arms as blessings in disguise, but they
iusist that it is a fortunate event for the rebellion
that it is deprived of its sea-ports. Even the
loss of Wilmington they assert will merely
compel them to develope their own resources.
Letass takeothem at their word. Let us con
cedethstt it is an advantage to the rebellion to
be shut out from the coast entirely. But if it be,
why was it not always so? And if it were, then
the holding of the coast has been a military er
ror. Or will it he said that it was necessary to
hold it for some time in oriler.to get foreign sup
plies of arms, and that now having enoogh thee
can safely lose it ? But granting this, the ports
were as useful for taking out as sending in. The
expenses of the rebel war must be paid in some
way. It has never been pretended they could be
paid by an internal tax. The great resource is
cotton. The very last financial plan of. the reb
els contemplates the sale of "Government cotton
on band." Bat with the ports all closed, how Is
the cotton to he sold ! The rebels have received
j arms and supplies tram Europe, and their for
eign loan ha. 3 been based upon cotton. The
closing of the ports cuts off the supply of cotton.
The failure of the cotton, by their own showing,
therefore, spoils their whole financial plan.
Bat there is another view. Look at the port
of Wilmington again. The rebels inform
that it is no disadvantage to them to lose it .
Suppose that we grant it. Is it no advantage to
us to gain it? That is a consideration for them
quite as important as the other. It is not a
question to argue. The map settles it. Take the
situation of the campaign. See what Sherman
Is doinz. See where Grant is. Wilmington is
an empty shell, shoat the rebels. Bat do they
suppose that it is considered valuable - to us hi
.nelf? Wilmington is worthless (Ls a capture,
for this is not a war of conquest or aggrandize
ment in the usual sense. But Wilmington Is
invaluable as a base fur a great army advancing
through North Carolina and co-operating with
Another before Richmond.
Even if it were trite that it is an advantage for
the rebellion to base it, it is no less an advantage
for us to gain it. And the mural is not less than
the military advantage. As Dr. Draper well
said in his late Lecture, there is no force like an
idea. It is not the sword alone that ends every
war; it is the sense of the power of the sword.
That consciousness conquers the mind, and
mere muscle relaxes.
THE VETERE OF THE SLA VES.A
writer in the New-York Anti—Slavery
Standard, planning for the future, says: " There
must be an armed force within reach of every
slave and every master, with constant and in
telligent supervision of both in the especial in
terest of the slave." A standing army era mil
lion men would be a small force ftr such a pur
pose, and It must be maintained fur an indefi
nite term of years. This is substantially the
plan of those who would prevent the recogni
tion of the loyal state governments and rule the
South by military satraps until the freed negroes
are raised to perfect political and social equality
with the whites. 'nits is sheer moonstruck
madness. The thing can never be done in this
way. The personal liberty of the negroes as
sured, as it will be, the rest most necessarily Ie
left to time and events. The free colored men
of the South will be gradually educated up to
the standard of full citizenship, and will in time
obtain the stara,ge and social privileges now ac
corded:to colored men in New-England,and which
will fthally be obtained by them in the western
and middle states; but this advancement is to
be' won by education. It cannot be forced upon
them. All the teucnings of history and the laws
of human nature are against suchi'an attempt.
If any party shall commit Itself to so preposter
ous a scheme it is certain to be hopelessly
swamped and to damage the cause of the race
it seeks to serve by such unnatural methods.
The steamship Cuba brings three days' later
intelligence from Europe. The late peace nego
tiations at Hampton Roads, and the shadowy
hint by Mr. Seward that American arms might
possibly find something to do beyond the lines
of the United States, have excited a lively dis
cuesion in the columns of the English press.
Strict neutrality is urgently advised even by th e
Times, while the propriety of looking to an in
crease of the military and naval power of Great
Britain is a favorite text for leading editorials.
The rebel organ in London, the lader, taunting
ly adds that, " for the present, the army of Gen.
Lee is the defence of Canada. But English
statesmen ought to be aware by this time how
very preearious is the duration of the war. A
month or two at any time might suffice to settle
the terms of peace, and if those months shall fall
in the beginning of Winter, Canada would be at
the mercy of Mr. Lincoln's Government and
Gen. Shemin:is army." - It is reported that
France has given the American Government the
assurance that no Mexican territory has been
ceded.
If we can credit the story there is now a very
remarkable ease in one of the Philadelphia Hos
pitals—that of a soldier who, it is said, has not
slept for over fourteen ~ears! Sleep forsook him
in 1850, and he has never felt drowsy since.—
iie goes to bed for physical rest, when fatigued.
but has been closely watched for forty-two days
and nigbis, and never detected dozing. We
know a man who, after suffering a paralytic
stroke, never wits troubled with thirst, and never

A SISOULAU CASE.
A NEW ARTICLE.
A. manufacturer in New-York has succeeded
In making cloth from- Ate MlAimed, or Silk
weed,. as it is variously callettiOntir the white, ,
glutinous inabstanee whleh exudes from the stem,
and the elk-like substance which ie enclosed in
the seed-pod. This seed covering feels exactly
like silk, and looks something like cotton. It
has eenendly been considered unfit for use in
making textile fabrics, because of tile shortness
and want of strength of Its fibre. But it appears
by the Nem- York Tribune that the fabrics made
from it are very soft and pleasant to the touch,
and also quite firm and strong. It takes dyes
admirably—much better than cotton—and sheds
its seeds without ginning or other difficult labor.
The Silkweed is a very common plant, growing
over the whole country. When the rebellion
broke out, and the supply of cotton was cut off,
the Ledger called the attention of manufactures
to this plant as a possible subuitute, sor some
inferior articles of manufactured cloth.
TAE SEVEN•TIIIRTY LOAN
The subscriptions to the Popular 7-30 per
cent. loan, since the let of February, under the
Banking Agency of Mr. Jay Cooke, amounted
the 11th inst., to $25,152,000. This, for only 20
working days,Ls a wonderful mark of success, re
flecting equal credit upon the good people of the
country, who have responded so promptly to the
-appeal of the Treasury, and upon the skill and
thdustry of the Government Banker and his
auxiliary agents. The remainder of the Loan,
not yet subscribed for, is about $72,000,000,
which from present appearances, will be taken
up before the close of this month. From Au

were $133,000,000.

PAPER Piton C*ll9 HUSKS
The Idea of making paper from the husks of
Indian corn, it seems, is not new. Mr. Wm, Bu
chanan informs the Transcript that ho had a
thorough test made of the adaptability of corn
husks for making paper, at a paper mill in Au
rora, 111., twenty years ago. The decision of the
manufacturer was that husks would make excel
lent paper, but that other material could be ob
tained and worked up more cheaply. Improved
machinery and the high price of the material
heretofore used in making paper, have changed
the state of things, and husks are to have their
legitimate place in satisfying the literary, if not
the physical appetites of our modern prodigals.

Mr. Editor • in seating myself on this Inaugura
tion day to pen a few stray lines to your welcome
paper, t can but review the course of the Admins
trution just closed, the obstacles It has overcome,
the tire) trials through which it has passed. Four
yearn ago Abraam Lincoln took his seat with the hori
zon darkening with the grim vi-age of war He found
all departments of his great trust infested by traitors,
a navy weak in numbers and that scattered on the
itstant stations or pusillanimously surrendered to
rebels in arms, a bankrupt treasury, an army cow
parativelyaowcrless, and all our prospects gloomy
leder& Lie had to °maids- an army and navy out
of chaos, and to borrow money to carry on a war
which was inevitable, which he was enabled to do
by the patriotism and liberality of the people. The
entire Cotton States had already passed ordinances of
secession. and the Border States were claimed as
Southern property. But I need not enumerate our
condition at that time, fur all our prospects were
gloomy In the extreme. By appeals to the gener
osity and, above all, the patriotism of the people,
an army and navy were raised which at present ate
excelled IT no nation on the globe. Our finances
arc in such a condition that Untied BMW!. securities
art taken and eagerly bought by all classes of men.
We base repos,vvaed al! the seacoast and re-estab-
Bitted the old flag on all the forts belonging to the
Goiernment We have narrowed down the field
of conflict to North Carolina and Virginia, end we
soon hope to compel th” last army of the confede
racy to succumb to the forces of Grant and Sher
man. For the fate of Let ' s army decides that of the
confederacy. Then we hope to see the morn of peace
—that long-expected and much-looked Inc day, when
a nation re-established by lire toad cemented afresh
by the blood of her suns shalt lay aside her helmet
of war.
Preeident Lincoln to-day enters anew the Chair
of State for a eceond term. What are his pror.
peels as be again assumes the functions of govern
mint? Most ;irritlfy Mg. We hrpc the present Spring
will see the close of the war. And as he has carried
us through four years of war and bloodshed, we
hate entire confidence in him as a ruler In time of
pace.
The day was celebrated In this LaMar by a salute
from the different vessels of War
Rear Admiral Porter came In
,yeaterday in the
Rhode Island, and left na-day for Washington, in the
Bat, to testify In the ilutier , Porter trial, All tb•
Wilmington fleet, with the exception of those left
for guard, have been recalled, and are now la this
harbor, or are coming In. Trade with Norfolk i•
now brisk, since the restrictions have been removed.
By the transports loaded with soldiers which sr•
daily going up to City Point, I should Infer that
there were a few more men left at the North and
that the people are bound to see the thing oat A
new monitor, name unknown, tame in from the
North yesterday. tlb• made remarkably good time,
and proceeded up the river.
General Grant only awaits dry weather, and then
he will '•move upon the enemy's works," and, In
the words of the Hero of Atletam and still later the
vanquished of '6.1, "drive them to the wall ;" and I
think that before they have time to climb it they
will be bagged, anti the Confederacy destroyed. It
hs already tottering on the verge ul ruin and the
gulf of dissolution is yawning to receive its wasted
skeleton as it •inks to rise no more.
MMIMiiIMI
Fur the Indepetutenl Iteptibßean
Who Commenced the War?
Mr. Editor: It is well known that there are
many Copperheads In tne country. Although they
all belong to the Democratic party, yet charity h..-
Mines one to eitensify them. The/sada. of that party,
after haring long since repudiated the principlos that
hnnored the name, now, of coarse, want to keep up
'hc organism, in hopes that, as In the past, so in the
futnre, It may furnish the "spoils of office." But
the "hewers of wood, and drawers of water" are a
different class In the main. 'Many of them yet bon.
early believe that Abraham Lincoln, at the head of
the Itepublican party, caused the war. To offer such
a few histories! facts, Is all that is now designed:
James Buchanan was President of the Unfit' d
States from March 4th, IS . H. tilt March 4th, Diu.
From the, latter date ronananecd Mr. Lincoln's admin
istration. Now see: December 40th, 11360, two and
a half months Wore Mr. Lincoln took the oath of
office, South Carolina passed an ordinance of seems
sion. On the 40th of the same month, she, in State
Convention, adopted Rmmintions to form a Con
federate Government of Slave-bolding States. On
the 'th, Custom House, Post Office, Arsenal, Castle
Pinckney, and Fort Moultrie were seized by South
Carolina,sffiltrefOnging to the United States Govern•
went. On the 2d of January following, the Gov
ernors of Georgia and North Carolina seized the
Forts and Arsenals In their States. On the oth of
Jannary the Star of the West, a United States steam
er, with provisions for 'United States troops in South
Carolina, garrisoning Forts, was fired upon In
Charleston Harbor. Sarno date, Mississippi Convex'.
Linn passed secession ordinance. On the 19th (icor-
Oa passed accession ordinance. On the MI, Lou
piece die the same. February Ist, 1861, the Mint at
New Orleans was seized. On the 9th, JOIE Davis
and A. IL Stevens were elected provisional Presi
dent and Vice President of the Confederate States.
On the 4th of March, 1661, Texas declared that State
out of the Union.
From the above, it will bo seen that war was ac
tually made against the 'United Status Government
long before Mr. Lincoln wee sworn Into office, as
that did not occur till the 4th of March, lbl3l.
If any persona, alter knowing the above facts,
should persistently continuo to speak, vote, and act
against the Government as formerly, they will not
be eutiUed to be culled lamest, but should he clamed
with the enemies of our common country as they

Answer. The Coupons or Interest Tickets Sr.- due
15th of February and 15th of August in each year.
and can be cut off Irma the note, and will be cashed
by any Sub Treasurer, LT. B. Depository, National or
other Bank or Banker.
4th Question. When must the Government pay off
these 7 300
Antaner. They are due in two years and a half
from the 15th of February, 1805; viz on the 15th
of August, 1807.
sth Qust‘ton, Must 1 receive back my money so
50(30 as 1807?
Answer. Not not unless you yourself prefer to do
so—the Law tricot von the right to demand from the
Government, at that time, either your money or an
equal amount at par, of the famous and popular 5.20
Gold Bearing 9 per cent. Loan
oth Que...tion. flow much do von consider this
privilege of conversion, into 5 20 Loan to be worth'
.4aniaer, 5.905 bearing Gold interest from lat of
November, are t" day worth 9 per cenL premium
If they are worth no more at the end of two years
and a half, when you have a right to them, than Owl
now are, this premium added to tile interest you re
ceive, will give yon at least 10 per emit per annum
for your money—but the opinion is that they will be
worth more than 9 per cent premium at that time .
7th question What other advantage is there in ln
resting In the 7.10 Loan'
Answer. It cannot be taxed by States, Counties,
or Cities, and this adds from one to three per cent
per annum to the net income of the holder, according
to the rate of taxation iu various localities. All
bonds and stocks, except those of the United States,
and all mortgages, site , are taxed, not only by the
Government, but by States, Counties and Cities.
81h Queslim, flow does the Government raise the
money to pay the interest, and Is It sale and rare?
Answer. The Government collects, by taxes, in
ternal revenue, and duties on imports, fully three
hundred millions each pear. This Is nearly three
times as much as Is needed to tiny the intereat on ail
the debt, and as soon as the war is ended, t h e
amount not needed to pay the interest will be need
in paying off the debt. Our Government IVA twice
VIM off all Its debt, and can easily do so again. Tee
Interest Is sure to be aid promptly, and the debt it
'elf is the very safest investment In the world. It is
an safe an a mortgage on a good hum, and pays a
better Interest. it Is, In fact, a First Mortgage On
all lands, all incomes, all railroad and canal bonds,
and bank or other stocks, mortgagee,
Nothing can be safer, for we are all bound for it,
and all that we have is dimly held for the payment
of principal and intere s t. How foolish those people
are who keep their gold and greenbacks idle and
locked up, or purchase mortgages or railroad stock ,
and hoods, which pay only sor 0 per cent. interest
when these Seven Thirties pay (counting the pre
mom on Five-Twenties,( over ten per cent, and are
so much safer and surer.
sth Question. How many Seven-Thirties are there,
and how much remains unsold
Ansiner. There are only about three hundred and
twenty Svc millions authorized by law, and only
about one hundred and ninety millions remain un
sold.
14th Question. How long will It take you to sell
the balance.
Answer. There are alrauf SOO National Banks nil
ecgabaendk i An, asneitliantgltle;"threalteottil'olfstineepurTvbaete o f

k
ens and brokers, and special agents will be engaged
in all parts of the country in disposing of them to
the people.
llth Question. flow long will It take to sell the
whole
Answer. In less than three months they will b.
all sold, and will no doubt then sell at a premium,
as was the rase with the old Seven Thirties, th e tir b t

From Wilmington
WILMINGTON, N. C., Feb. 24th, , 45 .
Three hundred poor, sick, emaciated and attnost
naked men tell into our hands upon the oecupat ion
of this town. Thee were Union soldiers, attenuate d
and wasteol almost beyond the power of recognition
as men, and awaiting death by tie slow process of
ids:A/non and dtsmse combined, crowded loto
filthy place salted a hospital. They were cameo.d
in various engagements during tibermares March in
to Georgia, and In almost every other part of the
country where the Union and Rebel forces have met.
Their joy knew no bounds when they found them
selves once more In the hands of friends. Dr. Ship
pen, Medical Director of the Department', assisted by
Dr. Bartell, Medical inspector of Gen. Terry's forces,
have made the best provision for the poor fellows
which was possible under the circumstances. The
Sanitary agent distributed nearly the last of his stock
of shirts and other clothing among them. In tbel ,
forlorn and suffering state these were most timely
and invaluable. Their situation scamtly admits of
description in words. Their condition would wring
pity from the moat obdurate heart.
As another fruit of oar occupation of this impor
tant point, we are to have sent to us Immediately a
largo number of our men who have be,n held as
prisoners. A flail of truce came In from Gen. Hoke,
bearing a message to Gen. Schofield, proposing to
deliver, under mutual arrangements misting for the
exchange of prisoners, Icw thmewodi of our rats,. The
proposition was instantly and most thankfully
ac
ee By mutual agreement the bridge of the
railroad crossing the Goldshorough toad, over the
northeast brancti of Cape Fear River, was designated
as the place to receive our men. Steamers ot Con
siderable draft can proceed without difficulty to tent
point. The staff at headquarters have, consequently,
been very busy since their coming was known, in
making the necessary arrangements for their recap
tion and comfort until transports can be bad to send
them North.
The Chief Commissary of the Twenty-third Corps,
with the cooperation of Division and Brigade Corn •
MirsSarle. are having rations cooked to feed the men.
All the large vacant houses and balls in the town
will be appropriated for their temporary accommoda
tion. The Chlef•Qaurtertuaster, Gen. Dodge, has
been directed to provide steamers to proceed at ones
to the aprointed place on the river to receive them
on hcami as fast as they arrive. Throe thousand are
expected to-morrow. What an incalculable benefit
It would be to this army of delivered prisoners It the
resources of the great Sanitary Commis , lon were
available at this point and at such a time. Every
nerve will be strained, hoivever, to make them as
comfortable as possible until they can be transferred
to their homes. The intention of Gen. Schofield, I
understand, is to have these released prisoners made
as comfortable as possible here until they have had
a brief respite of rest to recuperate their wasted
strength, and thus be the better prepared to undergo
she fatigues of a sea voyage, and the necessary change
from a mild to a cold climate. Meantime let the
Sanitary Commission move promptly for the relief
of this large and suffering body 01 out fellow-men.—
Three thousand will reach Wilmington to-day, and
the rest will be coming forward as fast as they can
be received and provided for.
The Rebel authorities are evidently eager to get
therm prisoner's off their bands for more reasons than
one. The growing scarcity of supplies, which the
concentration of the Rebel forces at points north
ward makes indispensable to teed their own army:
the care of so large a number necessitating the em•
ployment of a great number of soldiers as guards,
and the difficulty now of keeping them anywhere out
of reach of Sherman and Schofield, renders It all lna•
portant to net them off their hands at the earliest
moment. Remembering the accounts of the former
prisoners delivered to our Cononbeioners of Ex
change at Savannah and Richmond, I almost shud
der at the near prospect of meeting so many of my
unfortunate countrymen in the raggedness, squalor,
starvation and suffering' of every imaginable kind
which they must be ettfrertng. But God be praised_
that their defy of deliverance Is so near at hand.
Squads of our men who have been held as prison
ers here—and there were about six thousand of each
—but who have contrived in the hurry of the Rebel
retreat to escape, are hourly making their way into
our lines. Theirnarratives of the treatment recetved
while prianuens make the blood dance with Indlgna
lion, and the cheek to tingle with shame for the
beartlestnaess of men claiming to be Ameriban.—

Tennessee.
At the Confessionil.
We commend to our Copperhead frtends, oho
have elm& sneered at the policy of enlisting color
ed soldiers, the repot prepared by an Adjutant ot
General bee ' s, !Sow that the rebels concede theval
or and vain° of such traopatheir allies at the North
will agree that th e y are moat excellent material for I
an army. Fort Wagner, Milliken's Bend, Port Efud
son, and every field upon which black troops have
fong,ht, could not p:ove their bravery and discipline
hut the 'foul of Lee's Adjutant wilt doubtless con
vince throe° who have never had any °Antoci,' until
they received them from slave•drivern.
The paper of which we speak cites the conduct of
the colored soldiers in our army, as well as the ex
perience of every nation la y which they have been
employed, as proof of their peculiar fitness for the
service. But the ?charitable point ot the document,
which emitalas nothing' new to those who are tamil
tar with the question, Is the admission throughout
of the hitter wrong of slavery.
The plan proposes tove immediate freedom to
those who do bent, not the promise of freedom at
the end of the war to all who fight. Thin Is offered
as the highest conceivable inellementto bravery and
fidelity But how can it be so if the blacks were
made for slaves, and arc happy and contented in that
condition ? What kind of au incitement would it be '
W an n= to tell him that if he moved fast lie should
be tarown into the river at nignt ? How would a
t6ti be stimulated by the promise of being laid in a
clover pasture?
Again, the plan argues elaborately to show that a
soldier does not think; that an army is a machine ;
that disc Vine makes a man tight equally well upon
any side. But what in the point ol an argument?
Slavery being the divine appointment for all men or
African de,scent, end being also the most delightful
position for them, why rely upon discipline to pre
vent their thinking! The more they think they are
lighting to perpetuate their bondage the more hero
badly they will behave, If It be true that they arc
born for it.
Since this debate was opened among the rebels,
every word they say has convicted thew of the con
sciousness of the tout Injustice of slavery. It die
proves every thing they have asserted about the eol
°red race; and how thoroughly contemptible it
kneels the Northern toadies ot the delectable system'
What says Bishop Hopkins to thin lying in the face
of Providence? What says the Reverend Mr. Van
,
lii eh to this departure front the divine ordination?
Mee b,o Mesone of the curse upon Ham, and the
ColleillßLVe precedent of Onesimus! Whither has
disappeared the divinepurpose indicated in heels
and shin-hones? The whole ghastly imposture col
lapses betore the dire necessity of facts. They are
as good men as we are, if they will only fi ght for us,
cry the pale rebel chiefs as they feel the wind rush
ing before the coming of Sherman.
lifeenwhile let the gentle Copperheads ponder one
question. It the slave-lords confess that their chat
tels are at to be fn-e, how long will tr be before the
good settee of the eonutry declares that they are fit

Intoxication in Office
Mr. Andrew Johnson, our new Vice President, is
said to hare been demented by liquor when sworn
into office, and to hare made a senseless and dis
ereditatile harangue In consequence. And it is re
ported that he hss fallen into nubits which disqualify
him for the high position to which be has been
eb.seu
We fervently hope that at least the latter and worse
half of this scandal will prove untrue ; for if it should
not, the country will be subjected to the. pain and
scandal and Mr. Johnson to the mortification In
separable from his expulsion from office. If he has
become a drunkard, and does not promptly and
thoroughly reform, he certainly cannot remain Vice
Preeldcnt of the United Staten , • and, if he has any
earnest and intimate friend, be wit' be no assured
forthwith. The People may pity as well as mourn
his fall; but they cannot abide a drunkard in his
present high position.
certain Opposition journals seek to make party
capital out of his alleged fall; let us see how fitly :
Throughout the tate session of Congress, two Sen
ators, and two only, have been conspicuously and
persistently Intemperate. Both of them are of the
Opposition. One of thena has frequently Interrupted
and disturbed the proceedings nt the Senate by his
drunken ebullitions. Neither of them has ever been
publicly r, baked by any journal of his party. On
the contrary, one has Met been re-elected for a
full term of six years by the whole strength of that
party in Ids Slte, without a whisper of,Dnmocrath•
dissent from any quarter. And now the very journal
that is most noisily assailing the friends of the Art
ministration because or Mr. Johnson's lapse is sim
ultaneously denouncing as proscriptive and outrage
ous the omission by a majority of the Senate of the
names of those two drunken Senators from each
and all of the Standing Committees'—Tribune.

I.LA WOltE EN PRIVATE ACCOVNT.—A letter
to the Boston Journal, dated at Rouse's Point, N. Y.,
Feb t ells this curious story " Great excitement
here last evening, connected with the ope
rations td a dashing young rogue, supposed for a
time to be the leader of a gang of raiders. At live
o'clock a young fellow, apparently about nineteen
rears of age, arrived In the Ogdensburg train and
took a room at the Massachusetts Rouse, where hr
was joined by his wife, who same by private con
veyance from Plattsburg. At eight o'clock the
gentleman stepped out on the street, and walked
into a druggist's, and levelling a revolver at the
proprietor, demanded his moacy. A few bills being
handed Win front the drawer, be decamped, dashed
into two dry goods stores, awed the proprietors and
customers by threats of instant ibmtb, took the con
tents of the drawers and started toward thin depot.
Not quite satisfied, he robbed two other stores on
the way; but at the last place he was collared, and,
after 11 struggle, was overpowered and handed over
to the constable. Today he was curried to Cham
plain, bound over, and In default was committed to
Plattsburg jail. The parties bobbed are mortified
over the affor; but it is a good excuse for them that
they supposed the rascal to be supuorted by a gang
outside. The sum of the robberies amounted to
o n ly about fifty dollars. At his room in his hotel
were found a bottle of chloroform and several art'.
cies os.fal by burglars. Ili. discharge papers were
found, showed that he had served three years
in the Ninety-sixth New York, and his name is
Harry St. Clair. The fellow called himself Claude
Duval, and it is surmised that ho has had his head
turned by reading trashy novels,"
