THE PBESIDENT AND “A SEE VILE WAR.” Under this heading the Philadelphia Press of Thursday contains a long edi torial, showing how moderate President Lincoln has been, as a partisan, since his accession to the Presidency of the United States. He has falsified all that was predicted of him by extreme men, and what is more he has paid little at tention to the doctrines of the Chicago platform. He has, according to the Press, hesitated in every step taken by the Government against rebellion, for fear of creating the impression that be was governed “ by undeserved opposi tion to the Southern States.” The Pre sident, also, dissented from Kremont’s proclamation, and listened with respect ful attention to the appeals of Holt, Crittenden, Johnßton and other South ern Union men. The Press say?: “And what else? To prove that this ie not a war upon the institution of slavery, we need only call the attention of our readers to the fact that whenever slaves have escaped from their masters, and have gone into Union camps—instead of beiDg assisted on their way to Canada—they have been detained, set to work and on ac count kept of their labor, so that they may be returned to tbeir loyal owners, and in many cases hundreds of them have been returned whenever their owners have com? forward to prove their loyalty to the Con stitution, and their right to this descrip-* tion of property. So much for the accusation that one part of Hr. Lincoln’s theory, and one object of the present war, was an appeal to the servile population of the South. J^ T ow as to the charge that the free people of color Wei© to be used by the North ; not only has no appeal been made to the free people of color m the free States, but nothing has been dono to induce them to rise in the slave States. In the District Oi Columbia, and in the border State of Maryland, there are nearly forty thousand of this class, and yet in all the capture of prisoners no single free man of color has been taken in arms. Nor has any effert been made to in duce them to enlist against the Southern people. When we consider the intimate rela tions existing between the editor of the Press and some ot the members of tne Cabinet, if not between him and the President himself, we are inclined to look upon these statements as being in dicative of the present views of the Ad ministration upon the question of slaveiy !n connection with the rebellion, if this inference is correct-we may look out for the next session of Congress— beeinnin*- next month—being the most important since the government began. There is no doubt but that the extreme men in Congress will endeavor to push their ex treme doctrines to a successful issue, and either compel the Administration to accept them or labor to break it down. Can the Administration, when the tug comes, stand up against the fury of those who elevated it to power ? If it can it will be an exhibition of patriotism and devotion to the Union which will place President Lincoln upon the highest ground of patriotism, and rally to his support the Union men throughout every section of the country. THE LATE ELECTION. The elections held this week have resulted in New York in the election of the Union ticket by one hundred thou sand majority at least; Massachusetts has gone Republican largely ; in New Jersey and Wisconsin the contest was close, but in the former the Democrats have carried both branches of the Leg islature ; in the latter the result is not yet certainly known. In Maryland the Union ticket is elect • ed by an overwhelming majority. If the Jesuit in that State be indicative cf the feeling in the other border States, there, can be no doubt of the Union sentiment being still in the ascendant in every one of them. In the city of Baltimore, whioh' we take as indicating the feeling through out the State, Bradford, the Union can date, polled fourteen thousand minority over his opponent, in an aggregate vote of twenty-one thousand. At the last Presidential election in that city Breck inridge got fourteen thousand nine hun dred and fifty ; Bell twelve thousand six hundred and nineteen ; Douglas one thousand five hundred and two; Lincoln one thousand and eighty-four. The Whole vote cast upon that occasion was thirty-thousand one hundred and fifty- ' five, being about nine thousand more than that polled on Wednesday last. ( This falling oft, however, in Baltimore and Maryland is no greater than the ' decrease shown this fall in the vote of ] the other States to which we have al- I luded. t l@“We have seen it stated that Arch- Bishop Hughes and the distinguished New York politician Thurlow Weed, the intimate friend of Secretary Seward, Were sent for from Washington a few days since upon very important business. Since then we have seen it also stated that these distinguished gentlemen have sailed for Europe. In this connection we give the following, which we find in a New York letter published in the Baltimore dipper of Thursday: A most important diplomatic stalament was currently reported at the Astor House last evening, to the effect that our govern ment bad determioed tosendspeoial envoys to the Courts of St. J ernes and Versailles for the purpose of making such ropresentali jns “ Would counteract the influence of the (Southern Commissioners, and that General ocott and Edward Everett were fixed on JOT 'England, and Arohbiahop Hughes and W- for Prance, and would learo in the Africa, which sails on Priday He who will break his last loaf with you, but never his faith is a true friend. SECRETARY SEWARD That large salaries and big names give currency to -a great deal of nonsense, is strikingly exemplified in Mr. Seward’s predictions. For the last twelve months he has been engaged in predic ting all sorts of absurdities. At fust be was quite confident that the Southern 1 people bad no idea of revolting—that they couldn’t be kicked out ol the Union. Then, after their going out without being kicked, he addressed a private gathering of well fed fogies at the Astor House, and assured them that our trouble would beat an end in precise- ly “sixty days.” Then again in Congress, after these sixty days had expired, be put the limit of rebellion at jUBt three months, and now there is another pre diction of his going the rounds of the papers again, fixing the duration of our troubles at “sixty days.” “This an nouncement extraordinary,” however, does not close our troubles with the suc cess of the Union cause, but in our gov ernment’s recognition of Southern inde pendence. This is vouched for, by the New York fnilt'jhmdcnt., as being received from Mr. Seward through a gentleman of the “highest respectability.’' We do not believe that Mr. Seward ever made bo absurd a prediction, and if he did, it will turn out like his other guesses to which we have alluded. IjATK N RW3 KltOM WAHUMiTi'N lift? tho fid 1 wins:: The cc.mmannorMn-chief of Iho army. Postmaster General Blair, and vbo Assistant Se:rotary of War were closeted with the President during the {nronoon to day. Lt was understood out side—the information coming fr« m a re liable source—that tho affairs cf the army in the West were under consideration.— Fremont has been succeeded by General Hunter, but it is proposed to place General Meigs in full command of the Western Department. General Van Yliet, of Gen. McClellan’s staff, will, it is said, succeed Gen. Meigs as (daartorm&ster General. The Army ot the Potomac ami Their Winter (Quarters* Tho Washington correspondence of the New York Times writes as follows: It will be a week at least, with the nmet favorable weather, before tho roads are firm enough for an advance. Tho country may rest assured that Gen. McClellan means to advance, and to prosecute and unremit tingly. He has no thought of going into winter quarters in front of Washington. Further South it is not so cold, and Mc- Clellan’s intention is to winter in a milder region than even the south bank o- the Potomac. Ido not moan to say that he may not bo disappointed. The na.ural elements may conspire against him and prevent hia moving, as this storm has done. the well informed correspon dent of the Baltimore Sun says: The leading objects of tho Uto visit here of certain. Western {Senators have signally failed, the President being determined against any promature movement of the army at this point, and boinc rqually do* tor mined to remove General Froinont lVr causes, a tithe of wh.ch would have mo.*a slocol the speody superioding of any other officer of tho U. S. array. The stc-rn question was, whether the government should have control, or abnegate* its pro* rogalivesin tho‘ behalf of a s&lrapv in tho extreme west. It is now stain,! among western republicans that Gen. Lane’s war fare is marked by most sanguniary con duct and by tho pretty general freeing of slaves. It is thoreforo oxpected that the Executive will put its seal of reprobation upon his courses. Hon. John P. Hale, is here at tho Na tional. and Senator? Grimes, Latham, Trumbull, Chandler and Harris are also in town, borne of these are upon the inves tigating committee raised to inquire into tho cau«t s of military and naval disasters. Com. Paulding is here !o testify touching tho reasons for burning tho Norfolk navy" yard. Tho field of inquiry for the com* initteo i 8 very broad, and tho results may bo summed up before hand. “In one disas ter see nearly all,” Tho battleof Bull’s Kun, said Governor Androw, of Massachusetts, “was fought by an aggregation of town meetings.” In other words, partisan clamor forced a battle in which an enemy in position was to bo assailed by raw ren cruits, led forth most part by inexperienced officers. The circle of tho war is gradually wid ening so aB to embrace a numbor of sepa rate war, each of which would have been accounted, a few years avu, as wars o! considerable magnitude. War is to bo brought into Texas by the California vol unteers under Gen. Denver and other leaders. The coast war, just begun, will be prosecuted with all the power which the government can command. The war on the Potomac will soon become more active. Besides these we have the Ken lucky and Missouri wars, and the Western Virginia War. In fact the war spirit rages through the land, and wore a peaco con cluded by the two hostile federations, tho war would be continued in several States. Effects of the foreign News. A letter from New York, dated yester day evening Bays that the Persia’s news had a favorable influence in financial cir cles this afternoon. The private letters from London and Paris express the bohof that the bank of France will work out of its present strait without trouble, and thoy likewise report a better feelingy in the manufacturing districts. The news for breadsluffg, on the contrary, is unfavora ble, and prices ih this market are lower in consequence.* Flour could be bought live cents cheaper, and wheat and earn one cent cheaper than yesterday. Still, the export demand continues very lively. Specie begins to flow in from abroad again quite ireclv. Tho receipts by tbo .Persia and BoruEsia to day amounted to half a million, and more may bo looked for by every succeeding packet lor some time to come. The Rebel Ministers Mason and Slhiel at Nassau, A private letter from the United Stales consul, at Nassau, N. P., dated October 28, states that there have been several ar rivals from the blockaded (?) ports, one of which brought a nephew of Gen. Hardee “I am under tho the Impression,” says the writer, “that he was on the lookout for anus andpowder, which, I am officially informed, were to be shipped from England. Last week the armed steamer Theadora, alias Gordon, Capt. Lockwood, direct from Charleston, chased the New York Under writer’s steamer Johnston into tho very mouth of the harbor, but as Capt. Hoyt was near the light-bouse, she stood off for Havana, ss the Captain of the Gordon told the Concha who boarded her, that he had a lot of passongorß from England, via Ha vana.” Among them,were Messrs. Mason, Slidell, and company. Bho was hoavilv armed; .# A TSAOHBB was endeavoring to explain a question in arithmetic to a boy. He was asked, “Suppose you had one hundred pounds and were to give away eighty pounds, how would you ascertain how much you had remaining?" “Why, I'd count it," was the reply. BLACK JOHNSON. A i, K N > INK <• H A K ACTE l< O SIT' 1 ' jKLTB I had now leisure to take a surrey of my preserver. lie was a singular looking individual, about middle-aged, with a tall, muscular person, which was clothed in a well greased and slimy suit of buckskin, that had evidently seen much rough service. About his waist was a broad leathern belt, in which were a couple of. heavy cavalry pistols, a keen long-handled hatchet, and the scabbard of the heavy howie he had just been using so skillfully. These, with his long two-barrelcd riile, constituted a very efficient armament for one person to carry continually about him. To one unaccustomed to them they would have proved a rather heavy burden. But the stranger appeared not the least incommoded by thoir weight, and moved with nil the light ness and grace of a young Indian war rior beneath his quiver of arrows. In place of a hat the stranger wore on his head a species of turban, made from folds of a piece of figured calico, which confining his sandy locks upon the top of his bead, brougl.i his bold and rather handsome features irto strong relief But. the mint attractive features about his face were a pair of large, prominent gray eyes, that seem ed to take in every object about him at a single glance. In their calm, yet penetrating gaze I can compare them to nothing hut the eye ol a half do mesticated eagle. Such was tin- appearance of this singular man, as with, one toot resting on the breast of the savage he had last scalped, lie was leisurely recharging his weapons. “1 rccaon, stranger,” commenced my new companion, as he returned the last pistol to his belt, “ycr'il better gather up yer traps, and jiue mo at my oamp to-night; and in the morning we ein rido in company —that is to say as it 'twuuld be agreeable to you. I as.-med him that nothing could giro me greater satistaetiin. “Hut,” said l, •■perhaps our trails don't run iu the sumo direction.'’ “Where mouglit yer he bound “To the ‘Spanish t’olony,’ I an swered. “Ah, that's fortunate 1 My trail runs through the same settlement. Ko we’il catoh that runaway nag of yourn, and put out for my camp It's hut a little way from here, in thi.- same creek bottom.'' In another half hour we had arrived at his bivouac ; and atter a relishing supper of hump and marrow b< ties 1 spread mv blanket, ami was soon for gettul of the exciting incident of the day. Whether my companion slept or nut 1 cannot say, tor when I awoke at dawn I found lie was already about, having changed the (ceding places of our horses, and prepared a fragrant roa-t of butlaln lie-It lor an early break fast. Partaking "! the repast we were soon on our way to the le ona, the hell of timber which skirted tin- river being distinctly visible IV..m tho swells of the prairie as we rod.- along. L found niy fellow traveler, though ’ nut very lo'|iuu-iuus, a very sensible and pleasant companion, lie was familiar f with every toot of tho ground over 3 which wc traveled, and .-aid that he 1 had camped on every water-course, river, ami spring branch, between the Red rivi r of Louisiana and Mexico, i Rut in all his conversation ho never • uttered an egotistical remark. His modesty was remarkable, and beyond 1 what he bad said of killing Indians af ter the skirmish at my camp, he made ■ no reiereuco to his ever before being engaged in a tight. The sun had scarcely passed the me ridian, when we came in sight of the settlement of the old Spanish colony, and my companion pointed out to me, in the edge of tho river bottom, the ‘ thatched rooied rancho of old Don I’an chu Diego, the Mexican with whom I had contracted for a thou-and head of yearling ewes. Soon wc had paused the extensivo corrals, in which large flocks of sheep were nightly driven, and rode up to the low porch of the Mexican’s dwell ing. No persons were moving about, and it was evident the occupants were enjoying their post-prandal siesta. “Buenos tardea, Amigoa I” (good evening, friends !) shouted my ooinpan'- ion, and his voice aroused a paok of shaggy shepherd dogs, who, gathering from the numerous out-buildinga, ijuick ly called the peons and their master to the door. “Down ! down, dogs !" oried an old leather-clad Mexican, as he kicked the uoisy animals from his path, and ap proached us, still rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “Ah ! is it you, my good, good friend, Don Tomas V. and the old man grasp ing the hand of my oompanion, who had not yet dismounted, covered it with kisses, expressing the utmost delight at seeing him. While t ho Mexican still clung to Ihc Texan’s hand, an old matron rushed from tho house, and with a cry of un bounded joy, seized upon my friend’s other hand, and hugging his leg, gave vent to the most extravagant expres sions of satisfaction. Nor were they satisfied with this demonstrative wel come, lor when Lhe Texan at length re leased himself from their embraces long enough to dismount, they again renew ed the charge, and throwing themselves upon his neok, almost smothered him with their warm salutes. After these transports were over, the Texan introduced me to the Mexican, and informed him that I was the Har rison county gentleman who had been in correspondence with him in relation to purchasing a flock of sheep 1 also received a kindly welcome, and peons taking our animals, we were led into the house. “Ah, Don Tomas !” oxolaimed the old lady, after we had been seated, “we are so happy to see yon again." And then, both she and her husband speaking together, commenced a long story, how the Texan had Baved their lives a few years before, when their rancho had been attacked by a party, of thieving Oamanchcs. According, to their account, he, with a small party of Hangers, had performed wonders ofval- I or, for coming upon the settlement, af ter the savages had already set fire to many of tho ranches, he attacked more than ten times his own numbers, and slaying more than half of them, saved the lives of the entire settlement, eince which the Indians had not ventured to Haring this recital, I observed my companion sat uneasily on his chair,and seemed impatient of his own praises. “Tut, tut, my good frionds, you lay it on too thick 1” said he, as they con cluded their earnest tale. “Yer see, stranger, I and some of the boys hap pened along here a few years ago. when we discovered a party of redskins plundering the ranches, and what cculd we do but drive ’em off,” that’s all. To be sure ’twas a pretty warm fight, and some of the boys got hurt, but after all ’twa’n’t nothing to brag on.” “And ho saved my life yesterday,” said I to the Mexicans ; and then I re> peated the occurrence of, tho previous day, adding that I had not yet even learned the name of my gallant preser* ver. “You cannot have been long in Tex as,” said Hon Pancho, “if you have not heard the name of Thomas Johnson, usually called Black Johnson. Then let me introduce you, gentlemen.” “Black Johnson !” I repeated. “Oh yes; I have indeed heard his name be fore.” And then came freshly tomind the anecdotes I had heard of this brave Texan, on that night when confined by a -‘norther” to the reeking bar-room of that “tavern.” TO PHYSICIANS AND THE PUBLIC— ALLOOCK’fI HonorsPL4ftTKßB —Testimonial—T.
