To the toast "The Health of Andrew Johnson, Pre-ident of the United States" the President reirhe toast which has just been drunk and the kindness with which you have received it are, uu der exiotitij? circumstances, peculiarly gratifying to me. and in saying that they are gratifying to me, I wish not to indulge in any vanity or egotism. If I were to say lees I should not speak the truth ; aaJ it is always best to speak the truth and to give utter -nee to our sincere emotions ; and I am free to confers that being so kindly alludt d to here, aud so kindly received upon this occasion and in your i'y to-day quite , overwhelms me. But the rai'id would be exceedingly dull and the heart al most without an impulse that could not give ut terince to si'methii g responsive to what has been said here, and ot-li ve me on this occasion warm is the heait t:at feels and vi ling is the tongue that ppt akt, and I would to God it were in my power to redm-e to language the feelings and emotions that animate me to-night. Applause I shall not attempt, in response to what has been said, and the nunifeetations that have been made, to so into a lengthy spe ch, or to make to you an ar gument upon this occasion. 1 shall mer Jy con tent myself with giving utterance in the sincerity of my heart to some of the feelings and emotions that "are welling up within me. I would that 1 euuld give uttc. ance to what I feel, if not in words, then by somi' such means as these demonstrations by which the popular heart manifested itself to day demotisTiat oiis filled with -o mu h enthusi asm that like a liquid it epreiids in every direction and communicated with every heart in this city. All that is w tnting in the gr at struggle in which we are ei. gaged is simply to develop the popular heart of the nation. All that it needs is a sufficient amount f friction. 1 kn vr as you know that we have just passed through a bloo iy and perilous contest. We have gentlt-nv-n In re asso ciated with us on this occa sion, who t ok an active part in that struggle f r the i erservat on f our country the army on the one hand, ( pointing to (General Grart) and the navy on the o her (pointing to Farragut.) Tremen dous Ci.eers. These gentlemen have all per formed their part in restoring the country to its prea nt conditio i, rnd it would be verv derelict in me if 1 should omit to sav that the Secretary of State has fully performed his part. Cheers. As to what part the humble individual who addresses you took in that s'ruggle for the suppression of the rebellion and the restoration of the Oovern nient, 1 will say nothing now ; but I will say in summing up, though I may perhaps be included in that summing up 1 wil say that I feel that the Government has discharged its duty But there is something else to bo peformed ; the work is not yet done. Though we have passed through fields of b'oo'l, and at times almost forced to the conclusion that we would be compelled to see the God le.-s of Liberty go staggering through carnage and blood, and our Government a failure, yet by the blessing of Providence matters have been brought to n different termination. So far we have been saved. But whi e the enemy has been put down in the field, there still remains a greater and more important work for you to do. 1 must be permitted to say and I wish not to trespass upon your time I must be permitted to remark in this conn ction, that the Government undertook the suppression of this rebellion for the express purpose oi preserving the I'nion of these States. Great applause. That was the declara tion that it made at the beginning, and under that declaration it went into the war and continued it untd the rebellion was suppressed. By the sup- ression of this rebellion this Government estab- shed and announced the great fact that these Stat- s have not the power nor the right, either bv forcible or peaceable means ts separate from each other. Great cheering. That was determined and settled by the Government of the United States the Executive Department of it. But there is another d partment of your Government which has declared by its official action that notwith standing the rebellion was suppressed for the pur pose of preserving the union of the Mates, and to establish definitely the doctrine that no State has a right to secede I say there is a department of your Government which has practically assumed and declared and up to the present time carried out, that the Government was dissolved and the States were out of tho Union. Groans. We, who contend for the opposite doctr ne, years a contended that States had not the right even peaceably to secede ; and one means of peaceable secession, was by a State withdrawing its repre sentatives irom the Congress oi the unit d states, and that would be practical dissolution of the Union. We denied that a State had any such right, and .when, subsequently, they attempted to withdraw, we again asserted that they had no such right; and now, when the doctrine has been forcibly es tablished, that a State has no right to leave the Union, and when the States are again resuming their rehvions with the federal government as far as in them lies, we find that when they seek to have their representatives admitted to Congress there arc men m that body, who, in violation ot our great charter of liberty, deny their right to be represented, a d refuse to admit their repre sentatives into the Congress of the United States. The query then comes up, in the struggle that is now before us, will we submit ; will the American people submit, to this practical dissolution and this practical assertion of the doctrine that they have already repudiated and overthrown. Cries ot "no, no.'' Tne issue is before you. Will these Spates be permitted to remain as they are, so far as representation is concerned, in a state of prac tic ii secession and disruption ? It is giving the lie direct to every position, it is subverting every position taken by us ince tho rebellion commen ced Are wo prepared now, afrer having passed through our terrible war ; after the immense amount of bl od that has been shed after ha ing accimmu'aied a debt of over a thousand millions of do 1 us : after the injury that has been inflicted on the the country North and South, are we pre pared to permit this disrupted and disrupting condition of affairs to continue ? Let me ask this intelligent audience, not in the language of de clamation, but in the spiiit of Christianity and sound philosophy, are we prepared to renew thoe see es through wincii wy nave just pissea Are we prepared aga n to see one portion of this coun try arrayed in deadly conflict against another por tion. ase have juVt seen them arraved? Or. sh 1 11 we not make every effort to have all the parts and al the people of the country again united in harmony and ' rethei ly affection ? " We will, we will." " wt-ll, gentlemen, what is said now after the Philadelphia Convention has met and pro nounced on th" condition of the country what is now s ii 1 ? Why, that those men who met in that Convention were insincere; that their profesuons were worth nothing, and were not to be believed. Gentlemen, what better evidence can you have of loyalty thin these men give? Who has fought th's rebellion with more consistency and deter mination than I have ; who has sacrified or suf fered more for the country? But because my sac rifices and sufferings h ive been great, as an inci dent growing out of a great civil war, should I, therefore, become insensible to truth and princi ple? We are told fhat those men, notwithstand ing their profession of loyalty and devotion to the Union, are not to be believed"; but I ask yon what b tier evidence you can have of loyalty and devo tion than profession and action? "Who dares in th;s d y of political an 1 religions freedom to set up an inquisition and go into the human bosom to seirch for motives and sentiments? Plow many men have lived under this Govern ment all along from its origin up to the present t ime, w ho have loyally obeyed the laws and paid their taxes, and aided the Government in every way required of them, yet who, perhaps, would much have preferred to have had it greatly modified in form, or even to live under a monarchy? The best evidence that can be shown of loyalty are loyal professions and loyal actions, and when those gentlemen, met in Convention from the North and South, come forward and profess devotion to the Union and Constitution, and when their actions and professions correspond, who shall dare to doubt them '? Have we reached that point that all confidence is lost in men? If we have, I tell you that your Government is not as strong as a rope of sand. It has no weight, and will tumble to pieces. The adhesive power of this Govern ment is in the confidence which the people put in each other. Great cheering. These men who sat in Convention sat in a city, the professions of whose people in times gone by were that they were a peace-loving and a war-hating people. These men sat there in Convention in the interests of peace, and their professions are doubted. These people say to them, we won't believe yon. and therefore, this present state of practical dissolution of the Union must continue to exist. Why, as a Southern man though I do not speak here to-night as a Southern man becanse I first saw the light of Heaven in a Southern State thank God, I feel that I entertain orinions and ideas that are co-extensive with all the States and with the p-ople of them all.

I VT LL&Ti XI a TO X W ram t I took my position in the Senate of the United otatea, and assumed then, as I have since, that this Union was perpetual ; that it was a gTeat mag ic circle that could never be broken. Applause. But the reason the South gave was, that the Con stitution could not be enforced under the then ex isting combination of States, and, therefore, that it might be enforced, they wanted separation They attempted to 8 parate, but they failed. But while the question was pending they established for themselves a form of Govt rnment, and what kind cf a government was it ? What kind of a Con stitution did they adopt ? Was it not the same old Constitution, with some few variations the Con stitution of the United States ? You know that it was, and that they desired to live under that Con stitution, and enforce its provisions, under a sep arate Government of their own. We said, No I you shall remain with us, and the Constitution shall be preserved and enforced. We fought on until the rebellion was suppressed. And when the armies of the rebellion were overcome th-v accep ted the terms that the Government gave "them. The Government said to them, disband your armies and return to your original positions in the Union, and we will receive you with open arms. The time came at which their armies were over come and disbanded. 1 hat was done under the lead of my distinguished friend on my right. Three cheers for General Grant. Well, they ac cepted the terms of the Government, and what did they say ? They said we want to return. Home of them said we have een mistaken. Other? said we selected the arbiter, and the arbiter of our selec tion has decided against us, and therefore, as honorable men, we accept the decision. But they all say we want to return. Now, wil their offer be accei ted? Do we want a Union again ? 1 have said before, and I now repeat it, I do not want to let them back into the Union degraded and de based. They would not be fit to form a part of this great American family. I want them to come back with all their manhood. Great cheering I have not approached the point that I intended to, and I know that l.aui talking too long. " No. no ;" " Go on, go on." I have j ust called atten tion to the Constitution, under whicli they were desirous of living the Constitution of their fa It ers, but they wanted it separately. Now, however, in returning having lost the int-titntiou of slavery, which was the apple of discord, they take up the Constitution under which they lived before, and ask that it shall be the law, and shall be enforced Where, then, is the cause for distrust or want of confidence ? There is none. I do not come here to apologize for those who have tried to destrov this Government. And if my public speeches and acts do not disprove the charge that I want to apologise for them there is no use in a man's hav ing a public record. But I know the Southern people, and admitting their errors to tho fullest extent, I know that there are large numbers ofthem who were misled and coerced by public opinion men who, when they saw the flag of their country receding as the rebellion advanced, grew pale with fear and sorrow, and whose faces when they saw that flag returning in triumph glowed again with joy. But their leaders betrayed them. But in the West they have a way of playing himmer and an vil. While lavi3. aud others of that class, weie talking of separation at thb South, there was an other class at the North, made up of Philips, Gar rison, and such men, who were talking dissolu tion at the North. These were the two ex tremes the one the , anvil and the other the ham mer ; and when the rebellion broke out one end of the line joined in with those who were trying to suppress it. The rebellion has been suppressed, but we have not yet ceased to play that game of hammer and anvil. I am for the Union, and I am against all th'se who are opposed to the Union. I am for the Union, the whole Union, and nothing but the Union. Vociferous applause. I helped my distinguished lriend on my right (General Grant) to tight the rebellion at" the South. You all remember his peculiar phrase "That he was going to tight it out on that line," laughter. I was with him, and I did all that I could. We whipped them at that end of the line, and I want to say to you here that I am now righting at the other end, "laughter and ap laufe ; n I if he is nt t in the field now in the miliary sense, he is where he does good service. It is a struggle for the Union in which we are engaged. The I'nion is es sential to us. The North cannot get along without tho South, nor tho South without the North. But men say do you waHtto be governed and controlled by rebels " 1 answer no ! VV e want to let loTal men in and none but loyal men, applansej; and I ask here to-night upon what reasonable ground rests the fear that men coming into Congress from the South would control the country to its destruc tion ? Take the entire delegation htty-eight repre sentatives, compared with two hundred and eightv-two do vou fear that fiftv-eight men will control all the rest ? Laughter. Oh. men sav they will repudiate our public debts. Now, place these fifty-eight men in the most powerful posi tion that you possibly can, and yon have one hun dred and nity or one hundred and eighty, an over whelming majority against them. Surely, enough to keep them from doing any harm. Laughter. Are we a great people ? Are we all cowards ? No! Did they control you before the rebellion commenced, and will they have any more power now than they had before i l am no prophet, but I predicted some things at the beginning of this reDellion that have literally come to pass. I told the Southern people years ago that whenever they should attempt to dissolve the Union, the institu tion of slavery was gone. You, sir, (turning to Mr. Seward,) know that I made that argument to Jeff. Davis, vou were in the Senate, and you will bear witness to the position 1 then occupied in the streets of Hoboken, New York, a few , cneenng. J wnat have I to rain ?

A destructive tire broke out Thurs day night, about ten o'clock, in the ma chine shop and foundry of Mr. J. M. Howie entirely consuming the extensive build ings, and damaging the engines, tools, etc. The fire is supposed to have been commu nicated to some combustible material either from the furnace or forge. The building was old and verv inflamible, and when once the flames got a start, could not be subdued. The damage fell on an industrious man, whose all was invested in this enterprise, and he has the sympathy of our citizens. The loss amounts to between eight and ten thousand dollars and, we regret to say, no part of which was covered by insurance. Charlotte Times. nearly lenrtti told them then that the institution of slavery had little or no protection outside of the Union. They thought differentlv. They put up the stake vou all know how gr- at that stake was and they lost it completelv. ihe Consti ution still exisits ; the Union is still preserved ; they did not succeed in escaping from it, and the institution of slavery is d-stroyed. Applause. i-inee its destruction, the Southern States have come up magnanimously and acknowledged the fact, and have gone into these States Conventions and ratified its abolition. There is another thing. You have about three thousand millions of dollars in bonds. How are you going to preserve the credit of them ? Will you tell me how the security, how the value, how the ultimate payment of the interest and princi pal of those bonds is to be secured ? Is it by con tinuing this Government, disrupted as it is, by crippling our energies, and dividing us up into a half a dozen petty States ? Let me tell you, and mark what I tell vou, that there is no way by which those bonds cau be ulti mately paid, interest and principal, than by the consolidation of our nationality, the perpetuity and completeness of the Union of the States. Applause. Pardon me when I say I understand this question ; and I tell you that you play a false part now, and play into the hands of your enemies and the enemies of your country when vou aid those who would keep the Government disrupted. Let us unite all portions of the country firmly to gether, and you wi 1 have more capital than you need. I am proud to say on this occasion, not by way of flattery or compliment to the people of New York I am proud to say that I find a liberal, comprehensive, patriotic and expansive view vi this whole question among the people of New i ork. I am proud also to find that you do not feel that jour existence depends on aggression and destruction ; that while you are anxious to live, you are willing to let others live, and do not wish to live by their destruction. New York is a great commercial city. I was asking a man the other night what amount of taxes you collect in the city of New York. I was told it was sixteen or eighteen millions. You re member what your government started from ? You rt member that when George Washington was inaugurated President that the total cost of the government was two millions and a half, while here t'-d.iy, my distinguished friend upon my left (Mr. Hoffman) is controlling the destinies of a city whose taxes amount to eighteen millions of dol lars, and your State with its population of four millions has a system of government, general and municipal, more complex and costly than the whole Federal Government at is origin. And the peo ple of this great city, with views co-extensive with all the States and Territories, aud with an amount of captal greater than is to be found collected in any other point in the country, a ro possessed of great influence. You are enabled to occupy the points of gravitation, and New York is destined to take a great and conspicuous part in the work of restoration of this country ; and as I have said before on similar -ccasions, ho I say again now, that all resistance to the restoration of this Union, all opposition to it, will be just about as availing as an attempt to chain up the ocean, or turn the Mississippi backward to its source. My faith in the people is very Htrong, I have sometimes been called a demagogue, but I would to God we had enough demagogues in the land. The demonstra tion here to-rlay has confirmed me in my opinions of some of these demagogues. I believe that the great mass of the neoule will take care of the Government, and when they un derstand it will always d. right. You have evinced a good will; tlie billows begin to heave, and I tell those persons that aro croaking and seeking indi vidual aggrandizement, or the perpetuity of a par ty that they had better stand out of the way ; the country is coming together again, aDd they can not prevent it. For myself, I am content to be guided by the example of the Savior of mankind. If I have pardoned many, it has been because I thought it was for the best interests of the conn try, having found them repentant and anxious to be paraoneu. uentiemen l have taikca long ccoagb. It has never been my habit to prepare speeches, but rather to take up a .subject, having previously thought upon it, of course, and talk about it. The very idea ot making a formal pre paration always disqualified me. Gentlemen, your country is in your hands. The issue is be fore you. I stand hero to-night, not as tho President of the United States, but rather as a citizen advo cating the restoration of the Union. Since I have been the Chief Executive of the nation I have tried to discharge my duties in the way that I be lieved would most surely tend to bring back har mony to all sections of the country. What have I to gain by any other course ? I have filled every office under this Government.- You. may talk about me as you will. . Men may traduce and vil- lify me, .

Two negro boys, aged 12 and 1G years respectively, on Saturday night last stole Mr. John "VYimrner's horses from his stable in Waughtown, and made off with them, but were fortunately arrest ed a few miles from Lexiugton, brought back, examined, and committed for trial. Mr. Wimmer should secure his stable door, for even his misfortune of having lost his left arm and left leg in the war, does not protect him from rogues it seems. He is dependent upon the labor of his horses for support, which aggravates the offence, and in such cases the extent of the law should, as no doubt it will, be administered. Salem Press. Edgecombe Couxty Court. The Term of Edgecombe County Court held the pre sent week, was probably the most laborious since 1860. Three entire days were con sumed in considering and disposing of in dictments for offences, the punishment whereof upon conviction, extended not to life or limb. Four Freedmen were arranged and tried for stealing:. Two having plead cruilty. were discharged on the plea of former trial before the Freedmen's Barer. u. Another escaped the severe penalty of the law, pro bably on account of the absence of a mate rial witness for the State. Another was tried and found guilty, upon circumstantial evidence of a remote nature, but upon tes timony being introduced as to the defen dant's general good character and his faith fulness while a slave, the Court suspended judgment upon payment of cost. We are informed that Capt. Allison of the Freedmen's Bureau, was in attendance by order, and expressed his entire satisfac tion in the administration ot justice in our Court. Quite a number of minors were appoint ed at this term. The Court was governed by the act of the Legislature giving former owners the preference when they were suit able persons, but adhered strictly to a for mer rule made in relation to binding out white children, requiring the parents of said children to have notice. A rigid com pliance with this ordr on the part of the Court, is the only sure safeguard against fraud and imposition. The lawyers in attendance were Messrs. Bridgers, Howard, Johnson, Pender, Phil- ips, xeiiowiy, tjomgianu, uiouni, iarnes and Thorp. The Grand Jury made an unusually large number of presentments, and evinced by their acts and energy, in ferreting out the violators of the law. a determination to bring to light for examination, trial and punishment, all violence, outrage, indecen cy and terror, within the limits of Edge combe county.

Malcom White and a gang of negroes who were in jail awaiting the sitting of the Court, fearing they would get justice done them, with the assistance of some party outside, made their exit from duress vile, and are now breathing the p.iro air of heaven in the outer world, ready, doubtless, to commit other crimes which would tend to blacken, if possi ble, the escutcheon of these miserable wretches.

Garoutto has been a terror fr horse and mule owners in the Siate.- The poor men and poor widows, whose horses have been seized by his order, and who have cried over their losses, may dry up tneir tears. The " old Capt. is certain ly cone ! erone crlimmermcr between two days, and has left for parts unknown.- Garroutte was convicted of unfair dealiucr with tne government, we understand, and paid the penalty. But he was bound over nnilcr --i-.vol bovo-tie $iv nrifiv Iiolin against citizens, for which he was amena ble to the civil law. He was under bail, but has fled and left his sureties, we learn, to foot the bill. These particulars we gath er trora respectable army officers. Well, we hope he will not be brought back. We would subscribe as liberally as our poor purse would allow, to rid the Soutb of all such men. From what we have heard of him, he was the strongest mixture of truth and falsehood, penitence and pride, piety and hypocrasy, friend aud enemy to the South, we wot ot. He is gone, and joy go with him. Let it now be known, that if any body comes along professing to have an order from Capt. Garoutte, or any one else, he is a cheat and lm poster, and have him arrested forthwith. Kal. Sentinel. Dr. P. T. Henry.

He said that -when he ran out of the saloon he had no idea that Ramey had received any serious injury, and only, learned of his death through the morning journals, and he left the City at the earnest solicitation of his friends. He seemed greatly relieved at finding the suspense of his anomalous position ended, and resigned himself to the care of the of ficer without any seeming . reluctance.

Tlie Presidential Tour Insults to the Pre sident by the Radicals. Jackson, Michigan, Sept. 5. The President and party passed here to-day. uu xuesuay morning a reception was tendered him at Eljra, Ohio, but it was marred bv several insults. A black nag was displayed, and the band drawn up to receive the paty played a dirge in stead oi a national air. At Oberlin no reception was tendered. At Fremont a very enthusiastic demonstration took place. At Tol- do the Radi cals marred tne proceedings by insulting inter ruption, but with these exceptions the affair passed on wen. a grear, crowci assemDiea at De troit, where General Grant received the party in person. The crowd was so overpowering that the arrangements ior a procession could not be effec tually carried out. The President's speech at De- trioL is one oi tne most remarKaoie yet delivered by him. A person in the crowd insultingly allu ded to the salary paid the President, who, thus interrupted, s ldressed the intruder as one of the radical hounds who had been barking at him for eight months past, and taking up the allusion to tiis s dary as his text, he poured a broadside of in vective and ridicule into the radical Conerress. which he called the Congress which had doubled us own pay, and given the maimed soldiers of the war a meagre pittance of fifty dollars bounty for tneir services.

Young Man Surrenders Himself and Confesses to the Commission cf a. Homi cide A Very Peculiar Case. At a late hour on the night of October 15 a party oi lour youner men. all partially under the influence of liquor, entered the ager-beer saloon No. 272 Hudson street, iept by John Ramey. They had been in the premises but a short time before an al tercation arose between one of the party and the proprietor, when the disputants clinched, and a general melee ensued. Du ring the fracas Ramey received a thrust from an umbrella, the ferule entering his eye ana piercing tne Drain caused almost instant death. The Coroner's Jury in their verdict charged Gustavus Buckley with the act, and vigorous search was made for him, with no success, however. The pursuit gradually grew weak, as the traces of the supposed murderer died away, and the matter became almost forgotten, even by the Police. Yesterday Inspector Carpen ter learned that the man who had commit ted the act was in this city and anxious to surrender himself up to the authorities, as the matter preyed upon his mind. Agreeably to this information, Inspector Carpenter, accompanied by Capt. Ward, of tho Twenty-second Ward, and Detective Bennett, proceeded to the residence of his informant and awaited the arrival of the unknown. At the proper time the man came to his friend's house, and was inform ed that the officers were then, present, and he at once surrendered himself into their hands. The prisoner's ' name is Win; A. Hutchinson, 27 years of age, and a native of this city. He is very respectably con nected, and appeared quite prostrated by the event that had overshawed his life. He stated to the Inspector last evening that after he and the deceased had quarreled and exchanged blows, he walked toward a mirror to see if his face was cut, at the same moment carrying an umbrella in his hand, Ramey evidently thought that Hutchinson was about to renew the assault, and; seized a Beeswax, .
