Tim story started,, when Andrew Johnson
was nominated for Vice President, that in addi- ;
thin to baying been a " poorish tailor," he had'
41.!:landi3Fd •his poor old mother, and that she
re, at the age of more than seventy years, trav
ersing the sticcts of 'Philadelphia, with 'a bas
ket on her arm, *jelling tripe, for a living, is
itiddenly cut short by thefact that the mother
of Gov. Johnson. died • seventeen years apiin
'Greenville, Tenti..,mrefully attended and cher

WgEN the secessionists in the Senate of the
trnited States were leaving their posts for the
purpose of plunging the country into civil war,
;Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, then a Senator,
pointing his finger significantly at - Jefferson Da
pis, said: If I were the President I would ar
rest you as traitors, try you as traitors,,and
hang you as traitors!" His course from that
moment to this has been consistent with the
declaration. • It is thiS right. character and de
termination, displayed whenever and wherever
there has been. occasion ,for it, that has given
him the nomination for the Vice Presidency.

, LOCAL ITEMS.;
Gossrp WITH OUR FRIENEDS.—It is very hot,
and we are greatly disinclined to write, or per
haps we would not admit the following into our
columns ; and besides we have a fellow feeling
fur the poor fellow : • • .
"Respelled sir : Physiologists state that there
are five senses, by . and through which we see,
hear, taste, smell and feelthat these are more
orless acute in each individual, and that in
proportion as one sense id defective, a compen
sating one becomes mare active or intensified:
I have been led to make the foregoing remarks
by haying butted my bead the other day against
a lam post, in broad daylight, thereby getting
admitted free to An unexpected and extraordi
nal? display of inexpensive fire-works. Prem
th4ain I experienced I concluded the PhilOs
ophers to be right—that my - seine of feeling was
prokortionately sensitive as my sight was poor.
I propose giving a cursory account.of the trou
bles and inconveniences of nearsightedness, ex
emplified _in myself, without expecting any
sympathy from the masses, but appealing to the
pai-blind,to lend me their- card while I pour_
forth my plaint, And renovare my Morena.
"My earliest recollections are - associated with
falls, tunitlea, bruises, burns aud,accidents of
every imaginable description. When six months
old, - my old nurse assures me, I cried. for the
Moon, under the distinct impression that it was
hung up 'outside of the window, like an ice
cream sign, to be taken down at will. AA soon
as I began to run aboUt I displayed - it remarka
ble alacrity in testing the comparative-hardness
of my head and that of the chairs and tables I
managed-to tumble down - stairs in much less
time than it took me to go up; I climbed trees
and ladders without auy fear of dizziness, for I
couldn't see how high I was; I took no - account
of curb stones; twice I walked into the mill
dam; thrice was I snatched from under a horse's
belly, and times innumerable, from - in front of
runaway teams; 1 ignored mad dogs, infuriated
bulls and ambushed snakes, whose quickness
rendered them invisible to me ; and kit, though
not least, as my mother thought; I had' a won
derfal affinity for mud puddles that oppeeed my
path, fur I knew no more how, to steer around
them than if they had been so many Lake Su
peribrs.
"School life opened a new field of woe. Iraqis
unremitting'y punished for inattention, when I
was as innocent as a babe unborn._ -1-Ifeom
panions, With the rare discrithination peculiar
to boys, voted me sneak, - because I Oiuldn't
look in at recitation, and I was kept in because
,I couldn't, for with' my book beside me on the
bench I could no more have read the printed
page than have deciphered an inscription upon
an Egyptian obelisk. I never knew when the
master's eye was upOn me; and ever remained
in blissful ignorance, whether furtively munch
ing an apple, on with an innocent face, was
pinching_ my neighbor, until—thwack—came
the rod upon my Atlanteanshoulders. On the
playground, in games that required running, I
was like a bull in a china shop, here dodging
into a-big boy's stomach,, and there against a
little boy's chin. Did I ever try to catch a
ball, it was sure to pass my extended hands and
strike my unsuspicious nose. On 'the skating
pond I was avoided as,if I hadltie itch; and as
I skated on my lonely way, -never failed to pop
into an air hole, if there -was any about. At
the age of twelve Is donned spectacles.! Then
Was the tug of war. I' as a spectacle inyself.
The boys joked me, hid ru'y glasses, called me
"sour-krout and spec," said I was a speculator,
characterized me as speckled, dubbed me e old
four eyes," and by a figure of speech named me
"Poly Phemus." I was afraid to fight, for it',l
took off my specs I couldn't see where to strike,
and if I kept them ofil was in mortal terror aa
the idea of having the glasses knocked into my
eyes ; so I had to take all the quips and quirks
as t hey were offered. 1
"But all this was nothing to what I suffered
when I began to affect the society of the young
Naturally bashful and constitutionally
awkward, my nearsightedness now became
_a
positive bugbear to me. I was eternally making
mistakes. - Frequently I gave deadly offence by
taking one lady to church, and accompanying
another home. In. vain have I waited at the
church door for my Boers idol—to see her snap
-Ped up by some fellow that could see. At a
-party I nearly always took home the girl I
did'nt mean to ;and more than once offered my
ann to the old aunt instead of the niece. I
once, Summoning courage, altnesf kissed the
.da . rkey servant girl instead of her young mit
' tress. Did a lady drop her ring, I might as
well have tried to find a needle in a bay-stack,
and if she let her handkerchief full, I ran the
risk iu my blind zeal of picking up her skirts in
mistake. In eating fruit I devotiree worma.and
all with a coolness that disgusfed . my 'clearer
sighted friends. Once upon a time at a pie-nit I
was wonderfully confused byiteking up what I
supposed to be a lady's brown i - eil. I lost many
pleasant acquaintance too; with whom I had
spent ii - pleasant evening,-by - passing them the
next morning without the slightest recognition.
At one-time on horseback I guided my old grey
down a steep bank, he landing on his head on
one side of a fence. and I on the other not on_
DIY head. "the horso and my pants being much
the worse for - the accident. Riding one day ; in
a buggy, a friend who was driving: kindly per
mitted me, at my earnest solicitation, to take
the lines. I inarnediat*'‘gee-aped,' drove'over
an old woman on crutches, and ran the wheel
against a sign-post with stichlforce that the shaft
and harness were broken, and the beast walked
off with 'his paraphernalia; leavifig us seated in
safety it is true, But
-not in a high state of 'satie
faction: - I once and only once welt out shoot
ing with a friend, and at nay first lite waspor
-ror-struck at hiving blown away half the rim
of his hat. Piscatorially speaking I always met
with --lisherthan's luck, so much so that-I be
came' an adept at swimming, never failing to
tumble off a foot-log. about, the middle of the
stream ; and then coolly (particularly in winter)
paddling for the bank, guided.bY the laughter of
my companions.
"3lany• a stranger have I astonished by shaking
his hand warmly and making anxious engitifiei
after his and his family's health; I once in
nocently angered greatly a pious WidoW, relict
of a worthy deheen, (mistaking her for pouse onh

DEATH OF CAPT.:M(I)HW ELL.—OH Wed
nesday, ot last week Mf. John M. McDowell, of
this place, received a dispatch from Chatta
nooga, without signature, stating that his son,
Capt. Samuel McDowell, (lithe Independent
Pennsylvania Battery, had been killed and was
buried at that place. Efforts were made to
learn through the operator at Chattanooga as
to the author Of the—dispatch and the particu
lars of the, Captain's death; and at last the; sad
intelligence was fully confirmed. - On the 18th
of June Capt.iin McDowell was promoted to
Chief of Artillery of his, division, and on that
day he wrote his fitther from Lost MOuntain,
Ga. In that engagement the rebel Gen:Bishop
Polk was killed by a shell from one of his guns.
On Tuesday, the 28th of June, when Sherman
'made the unsuccessful assault upon the ie.bel
'position, - Captain McDowell was killed ; but
how or under what circumstances his friends
have not learned. They can feel -mil assured
however, that lie fell in the heroic discharge of
his duty. He was ,probably the youngest - Chief
of Artillery in the army—bqing scarcely of age:
and he had won his position solely by his high
soldierly qualities and - Unfaltering gallantry.
Ife will be deeply mourned by his comrades,
arid as widely lamented as he was known. His
remains lie is the National Cemetery at Chat-,
tanooga. Capt. McDowell' is the fourth com
mander of a battery from this cpuety wh o has

" Vallandighani iseems also to have changed
his mind on another subject ; at least,; there is a
wide difference between him and "his friends"
concerning it. In his Speech at : Hamilton,
the exile declared that he was the " only Vic

according to the way his friend have talked
for some time , past,Lthere . ; should. he a large
