Covered with sweat and dust, way-worn and Weary; in a bad humor, with a carpet bag and a headache. Find the New .I"orkers_telt fold accursed. Man was pursed with "The sweat of the brow." The New Yorkers sweat all over. The Hotels all filled, stores thronged,. streets overflowing not "With milk and honey," and such a bustle as has not been seen sinco befoie the war. Thousands of Sontkern buyers are agglomerated here—no thin ger of Hotelimthers now. The millenium has come. The Southern golden lion lies down with the Jamb-like merchants, and all is peace and harmony.4-Once again the veritable Southerner with his inevitable swagger, broad brimmed slouch•hat, loose baggy clothes, pleasing address, cheery laugh and social talkativeness and unap peasable thirst for sherry coblers, claret punches and brandy smashes—once more, I repeat, the chivalrous Southerner permeates the streets of New Yolk, and to his surprise sees co "grass on Broadway even in the Park, where the tramp of Union soldiers from "the accursed Yankee States" has obliterated all vestages of even that. My business threw me into association with a number of them, and I heard but one opinion; "whipped, by —1" I bail a long talk with a very gentlemanly man from Mobile, who gave me ayery interesting account of his experience. Re had been in the army three years, and had had command of a battery. I asked him if he had been in the armies that invaded Pennsylvania "no thank God !" was his reply, "but I was in a State that was invaded.". He stated that he with his friends had been misled as much by the peace party of ttie North as by the secession faction at Houle, that he had counted on assistance from the -opposers-of the goveinment north, fur he could - not imagine how people could talk as they did, and not take a more active part. The burden of his cry was, " the peace party." He wan- ted to-know how We felt in our part of the coun try about a foreign war, adding "Mexico is too small a game-why can't we pitch into our mutu qf friends, France and England?" He said, the simple country people of the South, even among the educated, who had never been north were perfectly amazed, when they saw Sherman'airmy marching through their country. In the first place they bad no conception that it could be done; and secondly, they firmly believed that the Northern troops were an inferior race of men.-- "Why, said be," when I first saw the advance guard of that army marching through . the town in which I was (I was out of the army then) I turned to some friends, as company after compa ny marched past, headed by officers carrying sho vels and spades and pick axes on their shoulders, and said, "Boys, we have fought like devils, but We never carried pick axes." With regard to slavery. He believed that the white man of the South would be benefitted and the negro injured by its abolition, and that the plilauthropist of the .North would hare heavy drafts made upon them this whiter fur their support. So far as his.rie quainter:tee extended he thought thatgood men as a rule had owned many more - staves than they needed. He also protested that Mr. Stevens with the gulf States was ready to come back two years ago. A. Southern man must brag a little— so he boasted of the cost of his clothes ; "my boots cost me four hundred and fifty dollars, my—" "That's enough, sir," I interrupted him with— "l-11 go you a hundred better on them in the same hind of money." He grinned and asled me to take a drink. For the past week I have not seen one drop of rain. I' never experienced such hot weather in all my life. It is almost impossible, to eat or sleep. :I hurried out of the city, with a whole some horror of the four fearful hours I would have to spend in an enemy's country. A crazy man sat wrth,his, keeper in the seat in front of me. At times he was quite violent, and would exclaim in heartrending tones, "Oh God, I am dead!" I solemnly believe that the Directors put that man there on my account. Let them look to it, or I will expose them. In the words of the old man in Excelsiorpthey had better "try not the pass"— that's all. ,I am glad - to see that Capt. William H. Knight (born in our town) his received from the hands of the Presiaenethe appointment as Major, "for gallant and meritorious services at the battle of Little Sailor Creek, April 6th, 186 i."

SPEECH OF PRESIDENT JOHNSON A delegation of Southerners, representing nine of the rebel States, visited the President recently and addressed him, professing the, most devoted loyalty for themselves and rebels generally. The following is a revised copy of the reply of the President: r GENTLEMEN :—I can only say, in reply. to the remarks of your chairman, that I am highly grat ified to receive the assurances he has given me. They are morethan I could have expected under the circumstances. I must sayl was unprepared to receive so numerous -a delegation otv this occa sion ; it was uffexpected ; I had no idea it was to be so large;ror represent so many States. When I expressed as I did my willingness to see at any time so many of Y'ort as chose to-do me the honor to call upon me, and stated I should be grid ified at receiving any manifestatibus of regard you might think proper to make: I was totally unpre pared for anything equal to the . present demon stration. I am free to say, it excites in my mind feelings and emotions that language is totally in adequate to express: When I look back upon my past actions and recall a period scarcely more than four short years ago, when I stood battling fur_ principles which ninny of you opposed and thought were wrong, I was battling for the same principles that actuate me to-day, and which prin ciples I thank my God you have come forward on this occasion to manifest a disposition to sup port. I say now, as I havii said on ninny former occasions, that I entertain no personal resent ments, enmities, or animosities to any living soul south of Mason and Dixon's line, however much he may have differed from me in principle. The ataild I then took I claim to have been the only true one. I remember how I stood pleading with my Southern brethren when they stood wittitheir hatsin their hands ready to turn their backs upon the United States; how I implored them to stand with me there and maintain our rights and fight our battles under the laws and Constitution of the United States. I think now, as I thought then, - - . and endeavored triliduce them to believe, that our true , Teasition was under the law and under the Constitution of the Union with the institution of slavery in it; but if that principle made an issue that rendered a disintegration possible—if that, made an issue which should prevent us from trans raiding to our children a country as bequeathed_ to us by our fathers—l had nothing else to do but * toistand by the Government, be the consequen ces what they might. I said then. what you all know, that I was for the institntions of the coun try as guaranteed by the Constitution, but above all things I was for the Union of the States. I remember the,taunts, the jeers, the scowls with which I was treated. I remember the circle lot stood around me, and I remember the threats and intimidations that were freely uttered by the men who opposed me, and whom I wanted to befriend and guide by the light that led me ; but, feeling conscious in my own integrity, and that I was right, I heeded not what they might say or do to me, and was inspired and encouraged to do my duty regardless of aught else, and lived to see the realization of my predictions and the fa tal error of those whom I vainly essayed to save from the results I could not but forges. Gentle. men, we have passed through this rebellion. I say we, for it was we who were responsible for it. Yes, the South made the issue, and I know the nature of the Southern people well enough to know that when they have become convinced of an error they frankly acknowledge it, in a man ly, open, direct manner: and now in the perform ance of that duty, or, indeed, in any act they un dertake to perform, they do it heartily and frank ly : and now that they come to me I understand them as saying that: "We made the issue. We set up the Union of the States against the in stitution of slavery; we selected as-arbitrator the God of battles; the arbitrament was the sword. The issue was fairly and honorably met. Both the questions presented have been settled against us, and we are prepared to accept the issue." I find on all sides this spirit of candor and honor prevailing. It is said by all—the issue was ours, and the judgment has been given against us, we feel bound in honor to abide by the arbitrament. In doing this, we aro doing ourselves no dishonor, and should not feel humiliated or degraded, but rather that we are ennobling ourselves by our ac tion ; and we should feel that the Government has treated us magnanimously upon the terms it has so magnanimously proffered us. So far as I am concerned, personally, I am uninfluenced by any question, whether it affects the North or the South, the East or the West. I stand where I did•of 'old, battling for the Constitution of the United States. In doing so I know I oppose some of you gentlemen of the South when thiS doctrine of secession was being urged upon the country, and the declaration of your right to break up the Government and disintegrate the Union was made. I stand today as I have ever stood, firmly in the opinion that if a monopoly contends against this country the monopoly must go down, and the country must go up. Yes, the issue was made by the South against the Government, and the Government has triumphed and the South, true to her ancient instincts of frankness and man ly honor, comes forth and expresses her willing ness to abide the result of ttie decision in good faith.' Mille I think that the rebellion has been arrested and subdued, and am happy in the con sciousness of a duty well performed, I want not only you, but the people of the world, to know( that while I dreaded and feared disintegration of the States, l am equally opposed - to consolidation . or concentration of power here, under whatever - guise or name ; and if the issue is forced upon us, I shall still endeavor to pursue the same efforts , to dissuade from this doctrine of running to ex tremes; but I say let the same rules be applied. Let the Constitution be our guide. Let the pres ervation of that and the Union of the States be our principle aim. Let it be our hope that the Government may be perpetual, and that the ciples of the Government, founded as they are on right and justice, may be handed down without spot or blemish to our posterity. As I have be fore remarked to you, I am gratified to see so many of you, here to-day. It manifests a spirit lam pleased to observe. I know it has lava said of me that my asperities are ,sharp,-that I had vindictive feelings to gratify; and that I Could not fail to avail myself of the opportuni ties that would present themselves to ~gratify such despicable feelings. Gentlemen, if my acts will not speak for me and for themselves, then any professions I might now make would be equally useless. But, gentlemen, if I know myself, as-I think I do, I know that I am of the Southern peo ple; and I love them and will do all in my power to restore them to that state of happiness and prosperity which they enjoyed.before the madness of misguided men in whom they hild-reposed their confidence led them astray to their own undoing. Inhere is anything that can be done on my part, on correct principles, on the principles of the Con. stitution, to promote these ends, be assured it shall be done.- Let me assure you, also, that there is no disposition on the part of the Government to deal harshly vviththe Southern people. There may be speeches published from variouif quarters that may breathe a different spirit. Do not let them trouble or excite you, but believe that it is, the great object of the Government to make the Union of these United States more complete and perfect tint.") ever, and to maintain it on constitu tional prineiples, if possible, more firm than it has ever before been. Then why cannot we all come up to the work in a proper spirit 7 In oth er words, let us look to the Constitution. The issue has been made and decided; _then, as Wise men—as men who see right and are determined to followit as fatheti :and brothers, and as men who love their country ih this hour of trial and suffering —why cannot we come up and help to settle the questions of the hour and adjust them according to the principles of honor-and justice ? The in stitution of slavery is gone. The former status of the negro had tri be changed, and we, as wise men, must recognize so patent a fact and adapt ourselves to circumstances as they surround us.— [Voices—We'are willing to so. Yes, sir we are willing to do so.] I believe you are. I believe when your faith is pledged, when your consent has been given; as I have already said, I believe it will be maintained in good faith, and every pledge or promise fully carried out. [Cries—lt All I ask or desire of the South or North, the Last or the West, is to be sustained in car rying out the principles of- the Constitution. 'lt is not to be denied that we have been great suf ferers on both sides. Good men have fallen on both sides, and much misery is being endured as the necessary result of so gigantic a contest.— Why, then, cannot we come together, and around the common altar of our country heal the wounds that have been made 7 Peep wounds have been inflicted. Our country has been scarred all over. Then why cannot we approach each other upon principles which are right in themselves and which will be productive of good to all I The day is not distant when we shall feel like a fami ly that has had a deep and desperate feud, the various members of which have come together and compared thexvils and sufferings they had inflicted upon each other. They had seen-the in fluence of their error and its result, and, govern ed by,a generous spirit of conciliating, they had become ruutuallylforbearing and forgiving, and returned to their old habits of fraternal kindness, and become better friends than ever. Then let us consider that the feud which alienated us has been settled and adjusted to our mutual satisfac tion, and that we core together to be bound by firmer bonds of love, reStreet and confidence than ever. The North cannot get along without the South nor the South without the North, nor the East without the West, nor the West without the East ; and I say that it is our diry to do all that lies in our poWer to perpetuate and make stronger She bonds of our Union, seeing that it is for the Common good of all that we should be united. I feel that this Union, though but the creatien of a century, is to be perpetuated for all time, and that it cannot be destroyed except by the allwise God who created it. Gentlemen ,J repeat, I sin cerely thank'you for the respect. manifested on' this occasion; and for the expressions of appro bation add confidence, please accept my sincere thanks., HER mirror may satisfy a lady that her dresa is faultless—that all that can fascinate the eye is combined in her coatume=but yet she will not consider herself irresistible until she has added the crowning charm to herattrnctions, by sprink ling Phidon's "Night-Blooming Corm ' on her lace handkerchief.

S. D. CtitBERTSON.—On the a'fternoon of Sun day, the 77th of Angust I stood among Many mourners, under the venerable forest trees in the lovely and pictur esque burial ground of the 'Falling Spring church, at the grave open .to receive the mortal remains of l)r. Samuel Duncan Culbertson, oil°, after a long and active life, ter minated his earthly existence on the evening of the 25th Amid the multitude gathered around his last resting place, to pay their respect to the memory of their distin guished fellow citizen, I saw- but one who was the con temporary of his earlier days ; mast of his associates had preeeeded him by many years throfigh the valley of the shadow of death. But, perhaps. I may'not be assexiing too much when saying, that the majority of those who participated in his obsequies, had been indebted to his professional attain ments, mediately or immediately, when sickness had over taken themselves or their families; and that they felt a pers on a sorrow, when they saw the tomb close in forever. from theme ploysician of so great skill, and who was, al ways wilting to exert that skill in relief of his suffering neighbors. Dr. Culbertson was the son of Robert Culbertson, who tit ed in "Culbertson's Row." Rh father dying when he was quite young. he was left to the care of his widowed mother, a very superior woman. .•• • . Dr. C. received his classical education at Jefferson Col lege,Cannoasburg. Pa .where, I believe, bewasgraduated. At that early day, means of conveyance to such a distant western point were limited and difficult, anal have often beard it said that he usually made his way to and from college on foot. After quitting Cannonsburg, he began the study of medicine, under Dr: Walmsley, who prac tised at that time in Chanabershurg, bat who removed to Hagerstown, his, student following hint. Dr. W. died soon after, when young Culbertson finished his cour se of study in the office of Dr. Young, of that place Dr. Culbertson spent one winter in attending the in structiobs of the University of Penna.. but was not gradu ated The honorary degree bf Doctor of Mcvlicine was conferred upon him in I; , :iff, by the Jefferson Medical Col lege, in recognition of his eminence and usefulness in his profession. He commenced the practice of medicine in Chumbersburg, probably in Ifitb, and arena succeeded in a large practice. and acquired great celebrity. In 1215. he went to Philadelphia. and engaged in mercantile busi ness with a Mr. Wilson ; but he was unsuccessful in his new pursuit. and returning to Chambersburg, resumed practice, in which he continued until 1831, when he final ly relinquished it in favor of Drs. Lane and Bain. He then entered upon the manufacturing of straw paper, in conjunction with Messrs. Calhoun, Chambers. Washing ton and Shryock. Subsequently he purchased the inter ests of his partners, and conducted the business himself, until a few years ago--when he resigned it to his sons Edmund and, John. , During the late war with England, Dr. Culbertson was an ardent patriot and shared in the struggle. In 1812, he formed a company in this place for the defence of the Nor. thorn border. With his little kind of volunteers, he left Cbambersburg, September 5, 1811, and marched to Burt falo. where they lay mitil January, 1813, without other winter quarters than their own rude Inds, He was ap pointedist Lieutenant of the company, and held this coin. mend until they' arrived at lleaderille, on their march. There the Ist Penn'a Rest. was formed, and he selected as its Surgeon, in which capacity he served until the troops were relieved. On the return of the regiment, he remom menced his practice. But his quiet life was soon again disturbed. In 1814 the country was alarmed with the in telligence that the British threatened Baltimore, The Doctor promptly called his neighbors to arms, raised a -company rapidly, was chosen its Captain; and marched with some. eighteen hi:inked men of Franklin county to the endangered city. There he was once more appointed Surgeon of his regiment. They remained about a mouth near Baltimore,aind were then discharged. lhave often listened with boyish enthusiasm to the de scriptions given of the tumultuous night when the news was brought here of the approach of the British upon Bal timore; when Dr. Culbertson turned out at midnight, and with drums beating, marched through the strettts of our goodly old borough, summoning his townsmen to the res cue; and have felt the glow of patriotism as I beard how the dusky forms of the aroused citizens were seen falling unhesitatingly into the ranks of the swelling processing The love of country which pervaded the Isgsam of Dr. C. in the vigor of Youth suffered no decay amid' the infir mities of age. Whets the Rebellion massed its hosts for the overthrow of the government, he gave no equivocal support to the vigorous prbsecution of the War for our nahonal existence ; but wis always earnest in his advoca cy of prompt, decided. unintertnittent action. As a business man, Dr. Culbertson is known to have been sueemsful , but it was his professional career that made him eminent. In surgery he was very expert and daring, but it was said by one trim knew his practice well that he excelled especially as an obstetrician. His gal qualification which Most impressed one, was hi, won derful readiness in discovering the seat of disease, its na ture:and us probable issue. Hiss mind seemed tu com prehend such problems intuitively. This rare faculty made litesel extremely valuable. If there appeared new disease, (or perhaps I bad better say an unseal dis ease, as a new disease is generally none but the new ap pearance of a disease itself not new,) none was more apt to aletect Its character and tendencies, and hence better qual ilied .to suggest its treatment than Dr. Culbertson_ It has been my privilege to have witnessed the practice ofvery many medical men. Some of them holding high positions in professional regard but. I have never met any who impressed rue more fa, (trebly us a practitioner. Al though Dr. C. abandoned the practice, for which it is known he had no liking, he was fund of the study of 'med,cine ; and, although he was unable to keep pace with the rapid strides of the smences—todo which requires the whole attention anal efforts of its disciple,—he kept his knowledge fresh and added eenstaatly to its stares. Alterte had retired from the practice, he was always willing to consult with his medical brethren, and his opsa. foes and advice_were frequently sought. In has inter course with the members of his profession, he was ever respectful and courteous, observing- it, ethics with strict fidelity, mad deporting himself with a delicacy that be came proverbial. It was fang then, in this view of his character, no less than out of reg ard to his acknowledged abilities, that the physicians of Franklin county. when they formed a medical Society a few years ago, sliLuld Have tmanlmaraly elected hitri heir President. Dr. Culbertson was not unknown as a medico] writer. A lengthly report of a case treated and recorded by him was deemed of sufficient value to be appended to a work upon that class of diseases by - tt tenter of aathority; and I have been informed t h at a communication of his on it vexed que.tinn in phyidolocu attracted the heary - couv mendattens of the odebrated . Prof. Chepnrtn, at that time an editor of a medical periodical. A few years before the death of that eminent teacher, he spoke to me in the mutt earnest and respectful manner of Dr: Culbertson, whose reputation he bud known "all his life."

The eons of a Grath:man of line lit:qui) , necom plinliment (the Lute Reach: IVashington, ;) themselves of rchued and elegant scholastic haste. lost elrequently said hi me that the Doctor's correspondent, with their father was u model id epistolary excellence.
