CHARLOTTE, N. C., TUESDAY,. SEPTEMBER
j PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S SPEECH TO
j . THE SOUTHERN DELEGATION.
We have already given our readers a synopsis
of the speeches pf Mr McFarland and the Pres
ident at the late interview. Bat Me desire to
put upon record President Johnson, jast as he
has expressed himself. We regard his speech
on this occasion, as the most full and clear de
velopment of his feelings and purposes towards
the South, which be has yet made Thi? spirit
in cod oectioo with his recent action in the Mis
sissippi oase,-leaves no dQubt( in the Southern
mind. The sentiments uttered by the Presi
dent will find a warm response in the entire
South.
Gentlemen : I can only say, in reply to the
remarks of your chairman, that I am highly
gratified to receive the assurances he has given
.me. They are more than I could have expected
under the circumstances. I must say I was un
prepared to receive so numerous a delegation on
this occasion; it was unexpected; I bad nodea
it was to bo so large, or represent as many States.
When 1 expressed as I did my willingness to
see at. any time so many of you as choose to do
me the honor to call upon me, and stated that 1
should be gratified at receiving any manifesta
tions of regard you might think proper to make,
I was totally unprepared for anything: equal io
the present demonstration. I atu free to say it
excites in my mind feelings and emotions that
language is totally inadequate to express. When
I look buck upon my past actions and recall a
period scarcely more than four short years ago,
when I stood battling for principles which many
"of you opposed and thought were wrong, I was
battling for the same principles that actuate me
to-day, and which principle, I thank my God,
you have come forward on this occasion to man
ifest a disposition to support. I say now, as I
have said on many former occasions, tha-t I en
tertain personal resentments, enmities', or
animosities to any living soul south of Mason
and Dixon's iine, however much he may have
differed from me in principle. The stand I then
took I claim to have beeTi the only true one. I
remember how I stood pleading with my South
ern brethren when they stood with their hats in
their hands ready to turn their backs upon the
United States; bow I implored them to stand
with me there and mainrain our rights and fight
our battles under the laws and Constitution of
the United States. I think now, as I thonght
then, and endeavored to induce them to believe,
that our true position was Under the law and
under the Constitution of the Union with the
institution of slavery with it; but if that princi
ple made an issue that rendered a disintegration
possible if that made an issue which should
prevent us from transmitting to our children a
country as bequeathed to us by our fathers I
bad nothing else to do but stand by the govern
ment, be the consequences what they might.
I said then, what you all "know, that 1 ftas for
the institutions of the country as guaranteed by
the Constitution, but above all things I was lor
the Union of the States. I r.-nj ember the taunts,
the jeers, the scowles with which 1 was treated.
I resnember the circle that stood around nie,
and 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, arid was
inspired and "eucouraged to do my duty regard
less of aught else, a'B'd have lived to seethe
realization of my prediction and the fatal error
of those whom I vainly essayed to save from the
results I could not but foresee. Gentlemen, we
have passed through this rebellion.. 1 say we,
for it was we who arc responsible for it.
Yes, the South made the issue, and I know
the Daftre of the Southern people well enough
to know. that when they have become convinced
of an error, they frankly acknowledge it, in a
manly, open, direct manner; and now in the per
formance of that duty, or, indeed, in any act
they undertake to perform, they do it heartily
and frankly; 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 institution of slavery, we selected as arbi
trator the God of battles; tho arbitrament was
the sword. The issue was fairly and honor ibly
met. Both the questions presented have oeen
settled against us, and we are prepared to accept
the issue." 1 find on all bides this spirit of
candor and honor prevailing. It is sflid by all
the issue was ours, and the judgment has been
given against us, and the decision having been
made against us, we feel bound in honor to abide
by the arbitrament. In doing this, we do not
feel humiliated or degraded, but rather that we
arc ennobling ourselves by our action; and ws
Ehould feel that, the Government has treated us
magnanimously, and meet tne Government upon
the terms it has so magnanimously proffered us.
So far as I am
concerned, personally, I am un- j
influenced by no question, whether it affects the
North or the South, the East or the West. I
stand where I did of old,. battling for the Con-
stitution and the Uniuf 'f,hcs2 Unitsd States.-.,
in uoing bu, l Know i oppeseu some oi you geu
t j r i t ' cz 1 j e M
tlemen of the South when this doctrine of seces
sion was being urged upon the country, and the
declaration ot your right to break up tho Oov-,
eminent and disintegrate the Union, was made, j
1 stand to-day, as I have ever stood, firmly in j
ine opinion mac u a monopoly conienusagaiusi .
this country the monopoly must go down, and j
the country must go up. l'es, the .issue was j
made by the South against the Government, and ;
the Government has triumphed; and the South j
true to her ancient instincts of frankness and
manly honor, couifs forth and expresses her wil- i
lingness to abide the result of her decision in ;
good faith. While I think that the rebellion :
Las been arretted and subdued, acd am happy ;
in the consciousness of a duty well performed,
I want not only you, but the people of the world ;
to know that while I dreaded and feared disin- f
tegratioo of the States, I am equally opposed to j
consolidation or concentration of power here,!
under whatever guise or name; and if the issue
is forced upon us, I shall stHJ endeavor to pur- j
sue the same effotta to dissuade them from this .
dootrine of running to
extremes; but I say let
AND THE GLORY OF THE ONE IS THE
the game rules be applied. ' Let the Constitution
be our guide. Let the preservation of that and
the Unign of the States be our principal aim.
Let it be our hope that the government may be
perpetual, and that the principles of the govern
ment, founded as they are on right and justice
may be handed down without spot or blemish to
our posterity. As 1 have "before remarked, to
you, I am gratified to see so many of you here
to-day. It manifests a spirit I am pleased to
observe.- I know it has been said oi uy that
my asperities are sharpened, that I had vindic
tive feelinps to gratify, and that I should not
fail to avail myself of the opportunities that
would present themselves to gratify such despi
cable feelings.- Gentlemen, if my acts will not
speak for mc and for themselves, then any pro
fessions I might now make would be totally
useless. But, gentlemen, if I know myself, as I
tliink I do, I know that I am of the Southern
t T . Ml 1
people; anu l love ttiein ana win ao an 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 had
reposid their confidence, led them astray to their
own undoing. If there is anything that cap be
done on ruy part, on correct principles, on the
principles of the Constitution, to- promote these
ends, be assured it shall be done. Let rfne as
sure you, also, that there is no disposition on
the part of the government to deal harshly with
the Southern people. . There may be speeches
published f rpra various quarters that may breathe
a different spirit. Do not let them trouble or
excite- you, but believe that
it is, as it is, the
great
object of the government to make the
Union of these United Slates more complete and
perfect than ever, and to maintain it on consti
tutional principles, if possible, more firm than it
has ever before been. Then why cannot we all
come up to the work in a proper spirit? Ir
other words, let us look to the Constitution. The
issue has been made and decided; then, "us wise
men as men who see right. and are determined
to follow it as fathers and brothers, and as men
who love their country in this hour of trial and
suffering why eannot we come up and help to
settle the question of the "hour and adjust them
according to the principles of honor and justice?
The institution of slavery is gone.. The former
status of the negro' had to be changed, and we
as wise men, must recognize so patent a fact and
adapt ourselves to circumstances as they sur
round us. Voices We are willing to do 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 It will All I ask-or desire of
the South or the North, the East 'or the West,
is to be sustained in carrying out the principles
of the Constitution. It is not to be denied t hat
we have been great sufferers on both sides.
Good men have fallen on both sides, and much
misery is being endured as the necessary result
of su gigantic a contest. Why, then, cannot we
come together, and eroufld the .common altar of
our county heal the wounds that have been
made? Deep wounds have been inflicted. Our
country hae been scarred all over. Then why
cannot we Approach eachother upon principles
which are right in themselves and which will be
productive of good to all? The day is not dis
tant when wc shall feel like some family that
has had a deep and desperate feud, the various
members of which have come, together and com
pared .the evils and suffeiings they had 'inflicted
upon each other. They had seen the influence
of their error and its result, and governed by a
generous spirit of conciliation, they had become
mutually forbeaiing and forgivingand returned
to their old habits of fraternal kindness, and be
come better friends than "ever. Then let us
consider that the feud which alienated us has
been settled and adjusted to our mutual satis
faction, and that we coma together io be bound
by firmer bonds of love, respect, and confidence
than ever. The North cannot get along without
the South, nor the South without the North,
the East without the West, nor the- West with
out the East; and I &ay it is cur. duty to do all
that in our power lies to perpetuate and make
stronger the bonds of our Uuion, seeing that it
is for the common good of all that we should be
united. I feel that this Union, though hut the
creation of a century, is to he perpetuated, for
all time, and that it jannot bo-destroyed except
by the all-wise God w.ho created it. Gentlemen,
I repeat", I sincerely thank you for the respect
manifested on tho qccasion; and for the expres
sions of "approbation and confidence please ac
cept my sincere thanks. .

COMMON PROPERTY OF THE OTHER
26, 1865, fourteenth tomae-suvber' S5.
. STONE WALL JACKSON.
A late correspondent of the N. Y. World has
furnished tho readers of that journal with some"
graphic remarks upon the genius in strategy
and military resources, of Stonewall Jacksou.
We make a few interesting extracts :
His close Calculation. '
Jackson's military movements .were alwsys
based upon close calculation, and he was certain-
tJy not wanting in foresight and "caution. He
seems to have known perfectly Well wht it
i in his power to achieve, and as thoroughly
what was beyond his strength. Ilo risked
i much, upon many occasions, but appears to have
i. been justified in his calculations of the ultimata
i result. '
It will m objected to him by military men,
that he hazarded tod much, at times, and was
only extricated by good fortune. There appears
to be some justice in this; but the resources of
his
genius were enormous, 4cd doubled his
numbers Some of his ideas seem absurd when
coolly looked at. When asked what he would
have done if, after the battle of Winchester, the
converging columns of the enemy had cut him
off at Strasburg, he replied, "I would have fal
leu back upon Maryland for reinforcements."
Such a movement must, it would appear, have
terminated in bis destruction; but it would be
difficult to find a man in his old command who
would have doubted his ultimate triumph even
then.
His genius was for great movements and de
cisive blows; and" thus his services became more
and more valuable as his rank iocreased. lie
was better as brigadier than as colonel; better
still as a major general, and as Lieutenant gen
eral was best of all. It is useless to ask .what
he wcuSd have been as commander-in-chief,
without a superior at Richmond. But the brain
which conceived and executed the campaign. of
the valley must have been equal to any posi
tion. His Line alicuys Open to Retreat.
He kept open, generally, his line of retreat,
and provided for disasters though it was hard
to realize that failure ever entered into his cal
culations. - He had the soldier's eye for posi
tion, and chose his ground both - for infantry
and artillery with the exactness of genius; but
if all his arrangements were made and his plans
required battle, would give it on any grouiid.
He depended most upon his infantry from
.his early association with that branch of the ser
vice, never appearing so well pleased as when
directing in person the fire of his cannon, amid
a shower of shot and shell. When once engag
ed, he seemed to disregard all idea of defeat,
and to regard the issue as assured. And, what
was more important, his men seemed to share
his conviction A man less open to the cou
vicion that he was whipped, could not be im
agined. His indomitable combativeness, it
might have been eaicJ, made hiu set his teeth
agaiust fate, and cudeavor to place his heel up
on destiny itself.
He never Trusted to LueJc.
It may bo said of him with truth, that he de
served victory.. No man was more careful in1
the use of every precaution to insure success.
The idea that be blundered on without prudence
or system, and achieved his success ouly by
some mysterious good fortune, is a me're fancy.
No soldier was ever less indebted to "luck"; no
one ever proceeded iu military matters upon
profoundcr logic " He knew his strength' and
his weakness, but the difference between him
and others was this, that he in ado his estimates
mora correctly. lie did not look to numbers
only, but to morale, the situation, the spirit of
his troop. With three hundred of Leonidas
he would have attempted great things; with
the fifty thousand survivors of Napoleon's
Grand Armie, crushed in morale by Waterloo,
he would have attempted nothing.
How he Conducted a March.
In every point of View, as we have said, he
deserved success. No General ever niade a
greater uae of mystery. He saw from the first
that he commanded mn of education, thought,
speculation the most inquisitive of prnute sol
diers. Without due precaution taken they were
certain to know what it was inexpedient for the
private soldier to know; his dangers would be
penetrated, and be noioed abroad. Hence his
inscrutable mystery. He would not p ni.it his
men to inquire the names of the towns through
which they passed, and on the march against
General McClelian, at KichmonJ, isiueJ a gen

Jackson laughed quietly, and passed on. He
said that if his coat knew what he designed be

camp for the night at cross roads, and the quid
nuncs were in despair at their inability to deter

campaign therein. - When one of his staff en

was simple and unost fntatious in hi. maimer

he slept upon the earth in rude bivouac, after
the hard fought day. All this eudearcd him to
his soldiers, at whoso cmp fires be would atop,
to talk in the friendly fashion of the officers of
Napoleon, and whose rations he would frequently
share. The sight of his faded coat and cadet
cap was the sigu to checr, and "Old Jack" was
personally adored, as in bis military capacity h
was regarded as the greatcrt of leaders.
His manner was stiff and his voice cuit, but
his smile waa one of extraordinary sweetness.
A lady declared it "angelic." It was certainly
the most frieodly inginablo, and charmed all
who oonvcraed with him. Kven bis peculiari
ties became sources of popularity, aod endeared
him to his troops. It was said of Suwarrow .
that bis men mimicked him, gvo him nick

Jacksoo. His men laughed at his dingy oil
uniform, his cap tilling forward on his no9e,"bi
awkward strides, Jiis abstracted air, and chri
teuing him "Old Jack," made bim their firtt
tnd greatest of favorites. There was one peni
Iiarity of the individual, however, which they
regarded with something like ruperstition.

made this strange gesture as his veterans moved

evidently in prayer. The gesture ws observed
in Jiim at Chancellorsvillo while gating at tho

One writer declares, very rationally, that
cleanliness, good food, regular habiu, will ahnyst
pi cure a person or a place; and where tbcuo are
wanting there is no security.
Another assures us that cholera, in its first
stage, can always be successfully treated, uoleff
the system is weakened by other diactnos, by
dissipation, or by some special cause. A llcv.
Dr. Hamlin uggts this cholera mixture :
Equal parts, by weight, of liquid Uuiantim,
tp'irits of camphor and tiucturo of rhubarb;
which has been used hero, not only by If m, hut
by many others, with, the greatest success in
meeting the first stages of the disease. . If
diarrhoea is carefully kept off by the uto of this
mixture, the danger of the cholera is very slight
In the second stage of rclapae and cramp

and other uicans of keeping up external heat,
by friction, etc, are often ued with success.
There is always hope io cholera m.-lil the patient t

Dr. Dane, an Eastern traveUcrond Oriental

"If the patient hare vomited tie poisonous

and resembles rice water, give a table t roooful
of powdred mustard io a tumbler of cold water

a few minutes give a wine glass full of brandy, '
