THE ; WESTERN DEMOCRAT, CHARLOTTE, il. C. W.J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, IV. C. June 11, 1807. Gen. Sickles Orders. We publish, in another column, two important orders from Gen. Sickles. These orders are coining so fast, and are so unexpected, that we confess we are aston ished and surprised, notwithstanding the extra ordinary circumstances by which we are sur xouuded. Gen. Sickle?, by his late orders, has lone more to discourage the people and obstruct reconstruction than any thing that has occurred aince the passage of the Reconstruction Acts. As an earnest friend of aJl measures to effect an rally restoration of the Union, we can ouly ex press regret. Instead of having two sets of officers, it would be better for the military to tuke entire control of the Sate government, and thus at least save the people the expense of paying for an establishment that Las been virtually superseded. Hon. R. C. Puryear, of Yadkin county, we regret to learn, was recently prostruted by an uttack of paralysis, and at last accounts was not expected to live. He was attacked while on a Yiait to Mr Nick Williams'. Mr Puryear is one of the best and purest men ef the State, and we hope his life may be spared. - - fy The reception of President Johnson at Raleigh passed off handsomely and with credit to the City authorities and all others. A sketch of the speeches of the President, Mr Seward, Mr Randall and General Sickles, will be found in another column. The President arrived in Raleigh on Monday evening, and left Wednesday rooming for Chapel Hill to be present at the Commencement exercises of the X. C Univert-ity. Chief Justice Chase arrived in Raleigh on Wednesday afternoon fur the purpose of presiding during the present term of the TJ. S. Court in that City.' lie was received at the Depot by a committee of gentlemen and a large colored delegation. The Legislature. We regret to see that the Raleigh Sentinel has changed its opinion about the propriety of the Legislature re-assembling this Summer. Some, weeks ago th Sen tinel, in a very sensible article, expressed the opinion that the Legislature ought not to re assemble, which article we copied and endorsed; bat we find in the Sentinel of last week an article nuggestiug that the Legislature ought to meet for the purpose of adopting measures to build a Penitentiary, and saying that Gen. Sickles is of the same opinion. We are opposed to the re assembling of the Legislature, because it will co.t fifty or seventy-five thousand dollars, and because no action ought to bt taken by that body in regard to building a Peuitentiary until we are relieved from military rule and the one-man power. If Gen. Sickles wants a Penitentiary built let hiiu issue an order to that effect (he is not afraid to issue orders), but don't let us be little ourselves and waste the people's money by re-assembling the Legislature to voluntarily do what n majority of the tax-payers of the State are opposed to doing. We advise a strict compliance with all military orders, but we call on the people to oppose th i e-nssembling of the Legislature and the u.-eless expenditure of thousands of dollars of the public money. Let the members of the Legislature refuse to attend nil extra ses sion this Summer, unless they are ordered to d o by Gen. Sickles. The Reason. During the visit of the Presi dent to Raleigh iast week, a Northern gentleman who happened to be in the City, asked a friend a Southern man why the people did not cheer more ai;d louder. Our Southern friend replied that it was because the people did not know whether they had the right to cheer General Sickles had not issued an order giving them that right, and they feared to open their months too wide, lest the General thould throw another order down their throats. We hope the explanation will be satisfactory to all concerned. TIT We are requested to say that the Rev. J. Hi nry Smith, of G reensboro, will deliver an Ad dress on the occasion of Commencement of Char lotte Female Institute, 27th inst. ft" We learn from the Standard that the Re publican State Executive Committee of North Carolina, met in Raleigh last week, and adopted the following resolutions : Itesolred, That this Committee recommend that n Convention of the Republican party of North Carolina as.-enible in Raleigh on Wednesday, the 4th day of September next; and that the people be requested to elect or appoint, through primary meetings, delegates thereto. Jiesolred, That the Chairman appoint a Com mittee of five, whose duty it shall be to wait upon Gen. Sickles iu relation to the appointment of persons to ofliee in this State, and also, with reference generally to the condition of our peo ple and the work of reconstruction. The Chairman announces the following gentle men as the Committee to wait on Gen. Sickles : C R Thomas. D M Carter, C L Harris, James II Harris and G W Bmdie. CP" Tho Hon. R. S. Donnel, of Reaufort ounty. died in Newborn last week. He had aerved his District in Congress aud was several times a member of the State Legislature once or twice Speaker of the House of Commons.

Sicklks' Ordeb No. 10. In order to aroid the stay laws enacted by Gen. Sickles and the Legislature, suits for debts of over $500 in amount have been Com menced in the U. S. Court at Raleigh. It was thought that Gen. Sickles order would apply :n that Court also, but Chief Justice Chase, in a short address to the members of the Bar on taking bis seat on the Bench, uses this language : "It is true that military authority is still exer cised within these Southern circuits; but not now as formerly, in consequence of the disappearance of local civil authority and in supervision or con trol of all tribunals whether State or National. It is now used under acts of Congress, and only to prevent illegal violence to persons and pro perty, and to facilitate the restoration of every State to equal rights and benefits in the Uuiou. 'litis military authority does not extend in any re spects to the Courts of the United Slates." In commenting on this declaration of the Chief Justice, the Raleigh Sentinel remarks: 'This language admits of no misinterpretation. It is a pluin and emphatic decision that General Order. No. 10. of the District Commander, does not apply to the civil jurisdiction of the U. S. Courts, and will therefore be disregarded by them. It is rumored, we learn, that Gen. Sickles holds that his Order does so apply. In this event, we are likely to have a conflict of authority. The question was raised by Judge Biggs, as to whether the rules of practice and pleading iu the Federal Court should correspond with those obtaining in the State Courts, as was the case prior to I860. In other words, whether the Stay Law would be observed by the Court. After some remarks by Mr Moore, in opposition to such recognition, and by Judge Biggs on the other side, the Chief Justice announced that be would reserve atiear ing until to-uiorrow." The Raleigh Progress of Saturday makes the fol lowing announcement: "Chief Justice Chase hns decided not to regard the stay law of our Legislature in the practice and pleadings of the U. S. Circuit Court. i m The Impeach mest Matter. The Judiciary Committee, to whom Congress referred the mo tion to impeach President Johnson, have settled the question (after a long investigation) by a vote last week in opposition to impeachment. The motion to impeach the President was lost by a vote of 4 to 5. Ayes Bout well, Thomas, Williams and Lawrence. Nays Wilson, Wool bridge, Eldridge, Marshall aud Churchill. A resolution declaring the President had committed acts worthy of the condemnation of the people, passed 7 to 2. Nays Eldridge and Marshall. On the first vote of censure, Boutwell and Thomas voted negatively, but finally changed their vote. The Fathku of the President. Gov. Swain's oration, delivered in Raleigh on Tuesday last, on the occasion of dedicating a monument to the memory of Jacob Johnson, the father of President Johnson, is very interesting on account of its historical reminiscences. We honor Gov. Swain as a true North Carolinian, who has done more to preserve the history of the State than any other man. Speaking of Jacob Johnson, the orator said: The dale of Mr Johnson's birth, and his age at the time of his dca'h, have not been ascertained. I have conversed with such of his contemporaries as I supposed to be most familiar with him, but after t he lapse of fifty-five years, they cannot speak very definitely on the subject. Iu relation o his general character there 13 no discrepancy of testimony. I am somewhat familiar with investigations of this nature, and can truly say that judging not merely from the uniform testi mony of living witnesses, but from my personal knowledge of the character of the community in which he lived, from which he received and to which he imparted imprints of sentiments and opinions, 1 hare never traced a more blameless history. He had many friends in every walk of life, and no ene mies. He was poor, but possessed at his death of more worldly goods than Andrew Jackson, the elder, the fattier of the first native of North Carolina who at ta:ned the Presidency. The precise date of the el der Jackson's hifih and death are alike unknown. His iliustiious sou was mistaken until after he en tered upon the duties of his high office, as to the State in which he himself was born. In his cele brated proclamation of 1832 he spcak3 of South Carolina as his native State. "The best informa tion now attainable confirms the tradition which prevails in the Waxhaw country that Andrew Jack son, the elder, never owned an acre of land in America. He died in the log cabin erected by his own hands early in the spring of 1767. He was bu ried in the old Waxhaw church yard. No stone marks the spot where his remains were deposited a btiudred years ago. The hero of New Orleans, the third son of his father, was born, at the house of George McCarnie, in the county of Mecklenburg, on the :5th of March, 1707, very shortly alter the death of his father " James K Polk, the second native North Carolini an who passed through Tennessee to the Presidency, was born in the same county of Mecklenburg, on the 17th November, 1795. about eleven miles South of Charlotte, and seventeen miles North of the bitth place of Gen. Jackson. On a journey to the South west, in Juue, 1849, I took some pains to ascertain the precise locality which give birth to both. No vestige of the humble dwelling in which the latter fir.-t saw the light was discernible, but the spot where il stood could be identified. The place where President Polk was born, was. in 1839, the properly of Nathan Orr. The house poin ted out to me, was of logs, had never been weather boarded, and was much dilapidated. Il was formed of two pens, one about 20 by 16. the other 12 by 19, mnkiug a structure 32 by 16, with a sh'iDgle roof, and brick chimney at the North end, and stood about two hundred yards south of little Sugar Creek. Samuel, the father of President Polk, though not born to opulence, began life nnder much more favorable auspices than the father of either the Seventh or the Seventeenth President of the United States. He was an energetic, indus trious farmer in Mecklenburg in ItfOG, when he re moved to Tennessee, and undertook the agency in renting anl selling of the immense and valuable es tate iu lands of '.he late Colouel William Polk in the most fertile section of that State. Col. William Polk was the latest surviving field officer of the North Carolina line, the cotemporary aud personal friend and associate of Geueral Jackson, nol less heroic in war, and quite s sagacious and more successful in private life than he. It is an in teresting coincidence that the lathers of the eleventh and seventeenth Presidents of the United Slates vere alike indebted for promotion to a more favorable position in life to the same individual; k man whose insight into' character rarely admitted of the selection, and uever of the retention of an un worthy agent. Colonel William Polk was the first President, and Jacob Johnson the first Porter, of the State Bank of North Carolina. It is from such beginnings, and under such auspices, that three natives of the State have passed from poverty and obscurity in North Carolina to comparative opulence and eminence in Tennessee, and thence to the highest post of honor m the Union and the world. The Ways op the World. If Jacob John son's son Andrew had never become President of the United States, does any one believe that the public would have erected a ivnument iu the Raleigh Grave Yard to the memory of the former. There was a great gathering Tu Raleigh last week, and a graat parade at tbo grave of Jacob ! Johnson, whose last resting place has remained iu obscurity for many years past : but aaw tuat his son "is President, the respect is paid to his memorywhich.no doubt, he was justly entitled to long ago. Such are some o the wajra of the yorJiL IMPORTANT ORDERS OF GENERAL SICKLES. Headquarters 2d Military District, ) Charleston, S. C May 30th, 1867. General Orders, No. 32. I.

MECKLENBURG FEMALE COLLEGE Chaelottk, June 3, 1867. The undersigned, by invitation, attended on Fri day, the 31st ult., an examination at the Mecklen burg Female College, in Charlotte. The examina tion was not a public one, the spectators being com- j posed principally of the patrons of the school. No extended preparations had been made and the pu- ! pi Is bad nol been informed till within a few days beforehand, that there would be an examination. j The classes were carried rapidly over the studies . of the half session just ended, examined upon gene ral rules and principles, with frequent exemplifica tions, showing that these rules and general prin ciples had been taughtand studied with a view to j practical results. The examination of each class j gave unmistakable evidences of thorough and prac tical instruction on part of the Professors and Teachers, with corresponding progress on part of the pupils. The Algebra classes the Junior by Professor Jones and the Sophomore by Miss Lee I are especially commended for the clearness with which they enunciated and the readiness and accu racy with which they solved the most difficult pro blems. The compositions read from the rostrum bj the young ladies, in cotiple3 (and not prepared for the occasion, but selected from composition books of the past half session) were highly creditable to all some of them remarkably fine, not only for cor rectness and beauty of style, but also for the clear ness, distinctness and propriety of emphasis with which they were read. The Juvenile classes are taught and were exam ined by Miss Bernbcim, and we unhesitaiingly say that their progress has been not only highly com mendable but really astonishing. Nothing couH surpass the promptness, eagerness and correctness with which even the smallest children answered questions and gave definitions. The examination of these classes, especially in Geography and Arith metic, was deeply interesting and highly gratifying; showing not only leniarkable progress and remark able thoroughness, but also that the young minds had been taught by induction and not by compulsion; that they had been so taught as to love to learn. The Faculty certainly appreciate the importance of lay ing well the foundations of education, and the friends and patrons of the Tnstitutiou have cause of especial gratification at the eminent success thus far attained in this department. All the exerefses which we witnessed were alike creditable to the teachers and pupils, and gratify ing to the friends and patrons of the Institution. C. Dowd, A. W. Davenport, II. B. Williams, W. C.

V3F" Our friend of the Newbern Republican, in a recent article complimenting us for our efforts to effect .a speedy reconstruction of the Union, is in error in saying that we served in the Confed erate army. We are unwilling to accept a com pliment that we are not entitled to. The com mencement of the war found us publishing a paper- a business in which we have been en gaged for the past twenty-five years and "while we sympathised with the South and desired the success of the Confederacy, we never entered the army, because we thought we could do mre good for the cause by remaining at our post a the Editor of a public journal. During the war we were sincerely desirous of seeing the separation made permanent, but we do not hesitate now to say, on all proper occa sions, that we are as equally anxious to see the Union restored and the whole country again en joying peace and prosperity.

Flanders, the new appointee for Gov ersor called on Gov. Wells this morning at the Ex ecutive office and made known that he came in obe dience to the order of Gen- Sheridan, and was ready to enter upon the duties of Executive of the StaU.

Disfranchisement in Virginia. General Schofield, the commander of Virginia, does not seem to have much respect for the opinion of Attorney General Stanberry, the law-officer of the Government. He has issued an order which settles the question as to who are disfranchised, and enlarging that class beyond all expectation. Paragraph four of the order says: The following will be regarded as Executive and Judicial officers of the State of Virginia, within the meaning of the law, viz : Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State. Auditor of Public Accounts, Secoud Auditor, Register of the Land Office, State Treasurer, Attorney Gen eral, Judges of the Superior Court of Appeals, Judges of the Circuit Courts, Judge of the Court of Hustings, Justices of the County Courts, Mayor, Recorder, and Aldermen of any City or Incorporated Town who are ex-officio Justices, Coroners of towns and counties.
