Removal of the Democrat Office.
We have removed our office, "round the
corner," to the room formerly occupied by
the Republican, over the law office of Hon.
Wm. M. Piatt, where our friends will find us
prepared to furnish them with anything in
the line of tb^office, from a blank note, to a
live Democratic pu per.
Call ard see us. (This invitation is ex
tended, more particularly, to our non-paying,
delinquent subscribers.)
To allay any suspicion, that by removing
into the nest feathered with nieger wool, by
the abolition editors who have preceeded us,
that we may catch any of the infcciion ; we
will state that we have given the whole con
cern a complete cleansing out. No traces of
the foul birds who lately congregated here
are to be fouud. The most powerful
disinfectants and fumigating agents
have been resorted too. Sulphur,
acoefetida, "skunks ile" &c., are sweet per
fumes in an atmosphere infected with the
stench of the high-holes, who have lately
held "high carnivals" within this, to them,
''hole in the wall,"'
No smell of old Ire Syph, of secondary
Syph, of rot gut whiskey, nor of nigger's
wool now remains. White men, visiting this
office now, need not hold their noses between
their thumb and finger.

Jpy" The editor of the Nigger Organ, in
his issue of last- week, devotes a column of
his paper to an explanation, as he calls it, of
his being prosecutor in the case of the nigger
deserter Hulmes, and his participation in the
election frauds of'3B. There seems to be
hardly any chance for argument with hint
on either point. On the first he admits what
we asserted of him—that he was the prosecu
tor, and on the second he admits all that we
alledge against him too. He, however, gives
his readers a kind ofamiik and water—y
excuse or justification. In the ca-e of the
Uigger killing; he claims that he did what all
good citizens should do," ie, charge innocent
men with the deed. In the matter of the
election frauds, be doe? not make this claim
to the charity ol the public.; but says "7 icas
nly a clerk,'' and put down the names of
the men who voted on what was charged at
the time, to have been "false papers."—
Nothing but a poor , insignificant, innocent
clerk! There were men who refused to sd
upon that board, in any capacit}-, on account
of the prearranged rascalities to be perpetra
ted ; but Ira Avery was not one of them.—
He would have taken the meanest, lowest
place in that programme to cheat his honest
neighbors out of an expression of opinion at
the ballot box. He would have even been
cup-bearer to the Pony, who set astride of
the whiskey barrel on that never to be
forgotten day.
Honor to whom Honor is Due.
We publish to-day a letter from the
Charleston Courier, of the 13th ult., in
reference to the 52d Regiment, Pa. Yds., by
which it seems that the honor of first planting
the stars and stripes over Surupter, Pinkney,
and the city of Charleston, since they were
hauled down by Major Anderson—now
nearly four years ago—belongs to the biave
52d. The intensely "loyal" organs of this
region, (the nigger organ at th - place, we
believe, was among the number,) claimed
that this honor belonged to a nigger Regt
and in long winded editorials, tried to mak
their readers believe that allowing them to
do so, was one of the most eminently proper
things done in the conduct of the war. The
communication referred to will rather take
the wind out of the sails of this nigger beat.
Efrunkeuuess lu Washington.
The party containing all "the virtue, all
the religion, and all the morality," gave a
fine and indeed exquisite exemplification of
it at the inauguration of their Vice President
on the 4th March. Mr, Andrew Johnson,
of Tennessee, was in such a state of beastly
intoxication, when the time arrived for him
to be sworn in as Vice President, that the
speech which he undertook to deliver bears
more resemblance to the incoherent ravings
of a bar-room loafer than to anyrhing else.—
We give such a report as has come to some
of the papers. Most of the Abolition journals
are so ashamed of it that they will not pub
lish it at all. But even the report, as we
give it, we understand does not do justice to
it. The full report, as taken by the official
reporters, has been suppressed, to save the
reputation of the party of purity ! When it
is remembered that this maudlin rhapsody
was delivered belore the representatives of
foreign governments, we can appreciate |the

ITS CAPTURE.
AFTER FIVE DAY'S CONTINUOUS
HARD FIGHTING, LEE AND HIS
ARMY FORCED TO EVACU
ATE THE CITY.
(From the Philadelphia Age.)
Saturday. April Ist*
The long threatened advance of Grant's ar
my has at length been made. On Tuesday
last, Giant concentrated all his available
troops at Ilatcher,s run, seven miles south of
Petersburg, the extreme left of his line. All
the waste troops on the north side of the
James, crossed over to the south bank, and
the intreochments at Deep Bottom were left
in charge of the negro soldiers. In front of
Petersburg and along the Appomattox the
Federal lines were weakened, all the availa
ble troops being sent to the left. Sheridan's
cavalry and all the cavalry which had before
been in Grant's army, were sent to Hatch
er's run. On Tuesday night, Grant had a
column of seventy thousand men in position
to advance against* the Southside railroad,
which is seven miles west of the Fedeial
camp on Hatcher's run.
It was hoped that this sudden movement
would surprise the Confederates. Constant
attacks w<?re made during Monday and Tues
day upon the Confederate wofks is front of
Fort Steadman. These were to cover the ad
vance. Grant's plan to move bis infantry
west from Hatcher's run, and endeavor to
strike the Southside railroad, at a point fif
teen miles southwest ot Petersburg. Sheri
dan with the cavalry was to make a detour
farther to the southward ; pass through
Dinwiddle Court House, thirteen miles south
of Petersburg, aud endeavor to cut the rail
road at Bukesville, thirty miles west of Pe
tersburg, where it joins the Richmond and
Lynchburg railroad. The columns moved
forward at three o'clock on Wednesday
morniDg. Hatcher's run was crossed with
out any opposition from the Confederates-
Sheridan marched south towards Dinwiddle
Court House, and.it is reported be reached
that place by noon on Wednesday, As Sher
idan, however, at once cut himself louse from
the rest of the Federal army, and has no
communication with City Point, there has
been no authentic information from him since
he left Hatcher's run.
The Federal infantry columns turned west
ward from Hatcher's run towards the SoiA *
side railroadl It began to rain almost as
soon as they started. The Confederate pick
ets were found two miles from Ilatchers's
run, and five miles east of the railroad.—
These pickets were driven a mile and fall
back to a strong line of Confederate works,
four miles from the railroad. The rain con
tinued and grew more heavy. The Confeder
ates had discovered Grant's movement and
hurried forward reinforcements. The Feder
a! advance was checked ; figuting began ; re
peated charges were made to break the Con
federate line ; the charges were repulsed ;
one Federal division lost four hundred men ;
and 011 Thursday mcrning the Federal col
umn was still checked by the Confederates.
Twenty-four hours, marching had advanced
it but two miles, and everything that happen
ed after Thursday morning is involved in the
greatest mystery. Announcements of heavy
and continuous rains are all that we receive
from City Point.
On Wednesday night an artillery battle
began in front of Fort Steadman at Peters
burg. Heavy cannonading continued until
two o'clock on Thursday morning. Our in
telligence from there closed at two o'clock,
and we know nothing of what happened after
wards.
The Federal troops have evacuated East
port, Iluntsville, Decatpr. Dalton, and all
their posts in Northern Alabama and Georgia.
There are now no Federal trcops south of
Chattanooga.
The Confederates made a raid on the Bal
timore and Ohio railroad, near Cumberland,
on Thursday night ; captured and burned a
passenger train, and escaped.
General Sherman's headquarters have been
removed to Newbern, North Carolina.
(Monday, 3d ) •
Gen. Grant has gradually closed his lines
around Petersburg. The Confederates have
abandoned their works defending tbe South*
side railroad, and all those east and west of
Petersburg. They still hold the inner line
defending the city. The fighting has been
continuous since Wednesday, and at half
past four yesterday afternoon was still rag
ing.
The Federal expedition against the South
side railroad is commanded by General's
Meade and Grant in person. It is composed
of Humphrey's Second corps, numbering
twenty-eight thousand ; Warren's Fifth
corps, numbering twenty three thousand, and
Sheridan's cavalry, numbering nine thouaand;
twenty five hundred being mountod the oth
ers dismounted. The expedition is sixty
thousand strong, and wss ordered to start on
Wednesday last. Two divisions of the Twen
ty fourth corps, from the north baink of the
James, crossed the river on Tuesday and
were sent to Hatcher's run to occupy the
Federal entrenchments. On Tuesday night
these troops held the works and tbe Second
and Fifth corps lay in the rear of them pre
pared fir the movement next morning.
Hatcher's run flows southeast from the
Southside railroad. It is crossed by several
common roads running southwest from Pe
tersburg. Five miles from the Southside
railroad i 9 the Boydton plaDk road, running
to Dinwiddle Court House, thirteen miles
from Petersburg. This road gradually sepa
rates from the Southside railroad, and at
Dinwiddle is eight miles from it. About a
mile south of Hatchei's run the White Oak
road diverges from the Boydton road towards
the railroad and runs lar down into Southern
\ irginia. It does not at any point approach
within five miles t.f the railroad. Along the
Boydton and White Oak roads, tho Confed
orates have a formidable line of worka para!-
Ifl with and defending the Southside rail
road.
Grant'* object was to capture these work*.
On Tuesday night his troops lay along Hat
cher's run, southeast of the Boydton road
crossing. The Second corps were on the
Yaughan road. The Fifth corps farther down
and the cavalry still farther down the stream.
The line faced southwest and the next morn
ing was to swing around, with the Second
co r ps for a pivot, so as to face northweot
Sheridan having the farthest to go, started at
two o'clock on Wednesday morning, made a
long detour to the southward, and in the
evening halted at Dinwiddle Court House,
eight miles from the Southside railroad.—
The Fifth corps started at three in the morn
ing ; crossed Hatcher's run ; inarched south
west some distance and came to tbe Quaker
road, which runs northwest towards tbe
Southside railroad. The corps turned into
this road and inarched northwest, and at
noon found the Confederates in force about a
half mile from the Boydton road The Sec
ond corps started at six in the morning;
crossed the run on the Yaughan road, and
turned northwest, marching towards the
Boydton road, along the southern bank of
the run.
The Second corps did no fighting. It en
camped in line of battle on Wednesday night,
one mile from the Boydton road. The Fifth
corps had a severe contest on the Quaker
road and lost four hundred men. It succeed
ed in beating back the Confederate advance
however; crossed the Boydton road south of
the intersection of White Oak road, and at
night encamped in line of battle one mile
from tbe White Oak road. The Federal line
was thus six miles from the Southside rail
road, and one mile from the Con f ederatc
works along the Boydton and White Oak
These movements were but prelimi
nary, and everyhing was yet tt be done. On
Wednesday night rain fell in torrents, and
the Confederates availed themselves of tbe
storm to get their troops into position, and to
feel the Federal lines in front of Petersburg
On Thursday the* rain continued. The
Federal troops made no attack. They lay in
camp all day. The Confederates brought up
reinforcements, strengthened their works,
and assumed the offensive, On Friday morn
ing before daylight, they concentrated a
strong force in front of the Fifth corps on
the Federal left. The Fifth corps was at
tacited, and, after stubborn fighting was
driven back a mile. At noon it was on the
Boydton road. Grant sent large bodies of
troops from the Second corps to reinforce
the Fifth, and the Confederates were driven
back to their line of works on White Oak
road. On Friday night they were in their
works, and the Federal line was again ad
vanced to the position occupied by it on
Thursday. The battles of Friday were
bloody, and resulted in the Confederates
still holding the works along the Boydton
and White Oak roads. There had been no
serious attach, made against these works,and
at no point were the Federal troops within
livdinileßof the Southside railroad. The
loss of the Fifth corps in Friday's battln was
about twelve hundred.
On Saturday morning the federal line was
reinforced and renewed the attack- Sheri
dan advanced from Dinwiddle Court Houe
and Warren's Fifth corps was moved some
distance westward so as to support the cav
airy. The line of attack along the Quaker
road was abandoned. The Federal troops
advanced and succeeded in penetrating be
tween the Confederate main body and three
brigades of infantry, that were some dis'ance
to the westward. The battle raged with
great fury. The Second corps was not en
gaged and in the afternoon it was reported
that-Sheridan had captured the three brig
ades with their trains. Still the Confeder
ates held their works and could not be driv
en out of them.
Yesterday the contest was again renewed.
To assist tho attack, all the Federal line in
front of Petersburg, and in Appattox, and
on the north side of the James, was ordered
fo advance. At noon it was reported that
the troops in front of Petersburg had pene
trated the Confederate lines and captured
eome of Iheir works. Along the B >ydton
and White Oak roads, however, the Confed
erafe line was still unbroken. Sheridan
moved to the eastward aeain, and the entire
Federal line—the cavalrv, the Fifth and
Second corps—turned to the eastward, and
moved towards Petersburg. A short dis
ranee west 'f Petersburg, the Sixth corps
succeeded in breaking through the Confeder
ate line and reached the Southside railroad.
The troops at once began des'roying it.—
The Federal lines gradually closed around
Petersburg, pushing the Confederates before
them. At half past four yesterday afternoon
the line had moved up and extended from
the Appomattox river, three miles west of
Petersburg, around to tho Appomattox east
of the city.
The Confederates abandoned all their works
eaat and west of the city, and held only the
forta immediately in front of the town
General Grant states that he has captured
fifty cannon and twelve thousand prisoners
(Tuesday 4th )
The great siege is at length ended.
Richmond has fallen. The losses in
the conflict which have continued al
most without intermission for five
days, are not known They must be
enormous. Part of Richmond was in
flames when Weitzel entered it, and
all the heavy gunsand much valuable
property fell into his hands. The
Confederate retreat is west, towards
Burkesville. The Richmond and
Burkesville Railroad is used exten
sively. Grant started all his army
yesterday on a march northwest
across the Appommattox towards
Burkeßville ? to intercept their retreat,
if possible, but the Confederates
have had so much time that they
will probably succeed in getting off. i

CIVIL LAW.
Parson Browulow's Opinion of Pleblan
Johnson.
We have before u.s a volume of 208 pages,
written by Parson Brownlow and published
at Nashville in 1856. On pages 68, 69, 70,
71, 72 and 73 of the book the Parson at
tempts a description of the character of An
drew Johnson. This part of the book was
delivered as a public lecture, in Nashville,
the city of Mr. Johnson's residence. It
seems that Johnson had slandered Major
Andrew Jackson Donclson, and to save him
self from chastisement, denied his own
words. So sayc Parson Brownlow. We
give below a few passages fr ra this lecture,
as published in Brownlow's book :
Did he lie out of the scrape? He did :
Aye, he ingloriously lied out of what he had
said— leaving Major Donelson no ground for
any difficulty with hnn. although the Major
had a right to suppose that any man base
enough to make such charges would have no
hesitancy in lying out of his disreputable
and cowardly abuse. I. therefore pronounce
Johnson, here in his home, an unmitigated
liar and calumniator and vilainous coward,
wanting the nerve to stand up to his own
words. * * And from Johnson to Shelby
counties, during the entire summer, this
lowJlung and ill'bred scoundrel pursued this
same strain ol vulgar and disgusting abuse.
With him, a rile demagogue , whose daily
employment is to administer to the very
wvrt sppetites of mankind, no honor, no
truth exists anywhere but such as are cor
rupt enough or fool enough to follow him.
For such a wretch I have no spmpathy and
no feelings but those of scorn and contempt.
* * It would he both cruel and unbecom
ing in me to speak of what the dishonest and
villainous relatives of Johnson have done, if
he conducted himself prudently and did no!
abuse others with such great profusion. He
is a member of a numerous family of John
sons in North Carolina, who are, generally,
thieva ard liars ; and though he is the best
of the famity I have ever met,with, I unhesi
tatingly affirm to-night that there are bet
le* men tnan Andrew Johnson in our Peni
tentiary ! His relatives in the old North
State have stood in the stocks for crimes
they have committed. And his own rn
cousin, Madison Johnson, was hung in Ra
leigh for murder and robbery. * * * We
d'> not make the point of mean kin against
Johnson, only so far as .it may offset his
abuse of oibers. But one point in his de
liberate lying before a Jonesboro audience.
It seems that Johnson had publicly denied
that he tried to induce the Governor to par
don his cousin, and the inexorable parson
produces in his back a mass of lecters and
documents to nail the lie upon him. Brown
low closed his remarkable speech by saying :
If Johnson or any of his friends in this city
think I have said anything offensive they
know where to find me- When I am not on
the streets I can be found a'. No. 43, on the
lower floor of Sam Scott's Hotel, opposite
the ladies' pdttor. I shall remain here for
the next ten days only, and whatever pun
ishment any otiemav wi6h to inflict upon re
must be done in that time. I say this not
because I seek a difficulty, but because I
don't intend it shall be said that I made this
speech and took to flight— Oid Guard.
The Editor of a Western Democrat
ic paper on aocount of the high pr.ce of paper
labor and other artcles connected with the
business, resolved to discontinue the publica
tion of his paper. His subscribers who were
indignant at this, immediately called e meet
ing, resolved that he should not stop, told
him to raise the price of his paper to three
dollars paid hitn in advance and told him to
go on as they were not going to do without
a newspaper. This is the right kind of spir
it. If all Democrats would so support their
local press, the country would be restored to
peace and prosperity by Democratic rulers.
The Thirty-eight Congress, is dead. Aftpr
a vagabond life of two years it expired at
Washington on the 4th of March. It was a
great tyrant, a great thief, agreatliar.a great
fool, and a great scoundrel. We cannot say
"peace to its ashes," because it was an enemy
to the peace of the country.

Editors Charleston Courier:
GENTLEMAN. —From statements made in
your paper at different times, as also others
in Charleston City, allow me to furnish the
following facts, which are incontrovertably
true.
The United States flag was first raised on
Fort Sumter by myself, with a detachment
of my regimeut, 52J Pennsylvania volun
teers fifteen men, at twenty minutes before
eight o'clock on Saturday morning, Februa
ry 18th, after which I proceeded to Fort
Ripley, took down the rebel flag and hoisted
the Stars and Stripes, then proceeded to
Castle Pickney and hoisted the same flag
there. I immediately started for the Atlan
tic Docks, Charleston, (Colonel Bennet being
in my boat, having boarded me in the har
bor between Suinter and Fort Ripley.) Ar
riving at the dock my flag was imn.. liately
hoisted, and as the balance of the regiment
arrived, in connection with a detachment of
the 3d Rhode Island Artillery, took posses
sion of the Post office, Citadel, Arsenal, and
all public buildings.
The 52d Pennsylvania Volunteers was the
first in the city of Charleston and placed the
first flag on its shores, as also on Sumter,
Fort Ripley and Castle Pickney. They
formed the first gnards in the city over all
public buildingß and property, and with the
exception of the detachment of the 3d Rhode
Island Artillery, there were no other troops
in the city for several hours afterwards.
I landed in the city of Charleston with
fifteen men of the 52d Regiment Pennsyl
vania Volunteers, and although I am aware
it is not modesty on my part to aound my
own trumpet, but seeing so many false state
ments made in different papers, I cannot, in
justice to my regiment, let so important a
subject pass unnoticed, and fllow parties al
ready named by reporters to claim honors
never deserted, and of which they in no
way participated.
The flag mentioned in the foregoing is
in my possession.
By giving these few lines a place in your
columns you will not only do simple justice
to the 52d Regiment, which can be verified
by hundreds, but cause those to blush who
have had the audacious assurance to connect
themselves with a subject totheui totally
foreign.

We lately had the pleasure of spend,
ing a portion of an afternoon with the vener
abiecx President, Jaincs Buchanan, at his
home at "Wheatland." At the age of 84
year he is in the enjoyment of good health,
with his faculties unabated, and his spirits
apparently as fresh and joyous as when we
last saw him, the night before he sailed for
Eng' nd as minister to the Court of St.
Jaines, twelve years ago. Wo have met no
man that evinces a profounder Interest in the
affairs of our country than Mr. Buchanan,and
none who i- more perfectly posted in all the
political movements of the day. Even the
local politics of the various states seem to lie,
as in charts, before his mind. To those who
are despondent of the ultimate redemption of
our country from the Abolition spoilers, a
visit to 'Wheatland' wdl prove a great relief.
Mr. Buchanan eu'ertams no doubts of the fi
nal triumph of the Democracy, and of the
consequent salvation of our country ; and he
gives such reasons for this faith, as will go
far to remove the doubts of the most despond
ing. For our own part we have never feared
for the ultimate triumph of truth and liberty,
nor doubted the overthrow and punishment
of Lincoln and the partizans in his despotism.
But we know of many who do doubt—a visit
to Wheatland would go far to reassure them.
Mr. Buchanan has prepared a documentary
history of the latter part of h s administra
tion, which will be published the coming
summer. It will thoroughly exV !e he
whole arsenal of lies which has pow
dor for the Republican party for four years,
by the publication of documents, figures and
facts, whieh which will not, and cannot be
disputed. Such a history is most timely. It
will do much to unmask the hypocrisy and
crime o'f the despots in power and to save
the country.— Old Guard.
THE NATIONAL FINANCES —Mr. McCul
lock on his accessmn to tho treasury Depart
ment, made an address to bis subordinates,
from which wo extract the following para
graph, as worthy of special notice:
"I have confidence in our nafi cma! resour
ces, and in the steady, unwavering determi
nation of the loyal people of the country, ir
respective of party, to preserve the Union
and maintain the public faith. I have con
fidence that the people will cheerfully fur
nish the money required to bring the war to
successful conclusion, and that they will be
able to bear any burdens that have been or
may be created in the great contest which
the Government is waging for Its own pres
ervation. My chief aim will, of course be to
provide means to discharge the claims upon
the Treasury at the earliest day practicable,
and to institute measures to bring the busi
ness of the country gradually back 10 the
specie basis, a departure from which, al
though for the time being a necessity, is no
less damaging and demoralizing to the Peo
ple, than expensive to the Government."—
If Mr. Secretary McCullough succeeds in
performing his promises, he will have earned
the gratitude of the whole country.
