WAR.
From his Richmond CVa.) Address.
- Having an unwavering faith in the
wisdom, Justice, and mercy of God, I
bow with adoring reverence to His
decree which destroyed cur hopes of
Southern independence. I would not
reverse His decree if I could' do so;
thai wiHild be wicked and presumpt
uous. All honorable. Confederates
rentivr the truest allegiance to the
obiiir-uions imposed upon them1 by
the burrender. 1 believe that the
uiohi uncompromising rebels yea,
tht? bitterest rebels, if you choose to
c ill tbem so would be the very first
to rally round the old flag in any just
and honorable war. 1 hey have ex
piessedjthe siocereBt sympathy with
the sufferings and misfortunes of
illustrious foeraen; they" have re
joiced at; the successes of many of
tbeir late antagonists, and they have
contributed to those successes.
But no generous conqueror wishes
the conquered to forget their old
tus and their old loves. JNo gener
ous coiiqueror wishes us to disparage
th urai:l heroism and the unparal
constancy of the Confederates
in the rauke. . ' .
No generous conqueror expects us
to underrate the ability of our great
leaders because they were defeated,
without taking into consideration
that their defeat was due j to their
beingoverwhelmed. Every school
boy knows of Thermopylae and of
Leonidas defeated and slam, but who
of you can tell the name of the vic
torious i Persian pommander of the
Don Phori. who attacked him in
front? j Who of you remembers the
name of the commander of the so
called "Immortal Band," which,
having gone through a secret defile,
attacked him. successfully in the
J rear? The historian of the present
Jooks only at victory and defeat; the

surrounding. But even now; " we of
the present, who have seen the great
movements of our wonderful leaders,
can look; at these surroundings.

it because she is deficient in dra-

If the latter hp the true reason, let
her close her ears to adulation while

crumble into dust more rapidly than

one road to permanent success, and
the foundation of it is hard work.

ANDREW JOHNSON AND
GRANT. :
. Boston Post, Dem.
The Grant storv. retailed bv Charm.
cey Depew and endorsed by inter
views in the New 4 York Herald will
not do Mr; Johnson's" memory any
harm. When Andrew Johnson was
in the White House, all who knew
him recognized in him a simple, pass
ionate, earnest man who desired to
execute the laws. There was a r.
tain rigid ityof purpose about him
wuiuu mauB H impossible tor mm to
compromise. He knew nothing about
a iaw oi necessity which might, in
emergencies, supersede the constitu
tion and the statutes. George W;
Adams, who,. fo nineteen years,
wi kue , v asmngton correspondent
of the New York (World, and who,
uunng me war, was also correspon
dent for the Boston Herald, and for
a; number of Western newspapers,
has often told me; facts about Mr.
Johnson which show that he was
thoroughly sincere. No one ever ac
cused him of deception. His
great weakness was a passionate
temper, - which was always aroused
by opposition.. He believed, after
Mr. Lincoln's death, that the leaders
of the rebellion should be punished
according to the law. " The one ide
prominent in his mind always, ; was
that the law should be enforced,- and
that his duty was to execute it at all
hazards. - The laws had been viola
ted by the rebels, ( and Mr. Johnson
saw no reason why the malefaotors
should not be visited with the pun
ishment prescribed for treason. . He
wanted to know why ; the machinery
of justice' was not put in operation
against them. When it was repre
sented to him that the tcourse which
he wished to pursue was impolitic he
raged like a lion, and, . naturally
enough, people about him thought
that he had ad intense personal feel
ing against the Southerners.
This thought was doubtless in the
mind of Grant, who was so construc
ted that he coald not understand a
passionate desire to execute the law.
I heref ore, when the President pro
tested against the reconstruction acts,
and insisted that the States "lately in
rebellion" were jstill States, and en
titled to representation in Congress,
who me same passion ne naa snown
in demanding the!haugiog of traitors.
Grant, and men; like him, assuming
still a basis of personal feeling for
Mr. Johnsons opinions, concluded
that his hate of i Southerners had
changed to friendship. But; there
was no reason for this. Mr. Johnson
held that there could be no secession
under the Constitution, and that, not
withstanding the war, the Southern
States : had remained part of the
Union, lhen when he had declared
the insurrection at an end, they had
only one course to pursue to send
their Representatives and Senators to
Congress.. When he was opposed in
this, his anger again broke out, and
Grant, theorizing perhaps, reached an
unfavorable conclusion.
It was easy enough for . Grant to
form an unfavorable theory about
Mr. Johnson. The two disliked each
other heartily after their quarrel over
stanton. Me. Johnson always ac
cused Grant of untruthfulness and
personal disloyalty in not keeping
Stanton out of the, war office. Every
one of the Cabinet signed a state
ment to the effect that Grant had
promised to obey the order of the
President in this respect, and that he
had not kept his word. Then follow
ed the scene described in the news
papers, in which Mr. Johnson accused
Grant of untruthfulness, shaking his
finger in his face, meantime, and act
ing violently, after his nature.

And he tells his friends that it stretched

And they simply sit and smile and grin.

woman unconscious and just alive. Doc

with her until noon to-day pronounced
her recovery probable, though she is still
unconscious. Moore's body was sent back
to Chester, where he has a wife and three

It is believed he turned off the gas and

WILMINGTON AND IKS MEN
- ."- . OF '34.
Mb. Editor: I am reading the
Stab . of Sunday (8 p. m; Monday
night) I find these words: The
Asheville Citizen is always iriend-
1. V . ixtm : a. - i . .
jjr. . ' imnugMMi n extract is
copied from that paper you say,'
"The Citizen says that Wilmington
has not the vigor it had 'in .1 834..
fifty years go. Is this so?" I .sayi
do you not know it is so?' Does, not
every one familiar with Wilmington,
and North Carolina history, know it is
painfully so? - ' -
1 In 1836, a party of gentlemen met
in a house that stood on a part of the
ground now covered by the fine brick
edifice, erected by the late P. K.
Dickinson, Esq.' : (he then . being a
widower), and organized the corpo
ration that built the Wilmington &
Weldon (then Raleigh) railroad. He
gave the writer once a' detailed ac
count of that meeting. Some of the
corporators wereGov.'E. B. Dudley,
c vl. uioKinson, rxoDert u. Uowan,
Wm. B. Meares, Aaron Lazarus and
James Owen. They and tbeir asso
ciates met ' at this house, and Mr.
Dickinson remarked they had two or
three baskets of champagne in the
house, . They opened books of sub
scription and they opened bottles of
champagne. They drank and they
subscribed and before Uhe ' party
broke up $300,000 of the capital stock
naa been subscribed for ana the char
ter thus secured, before they - went
forth to ask the public generally to
subscribe! ' ;7 y . '
, -Sdch .were the nien of 1834 and
1839. Do you see anything: like them
arodnd loose now? Then f the f real
estate valuation was less than $400,
000 arid the population 3,000. They
began' and finished the largest line of
railroad then in the world, ,--
Gov. Isaac J. Stevens, of Wash
ington Territory, cited the case of
this enterprise at a railroad meeting
twenty-five years j ago at Paget's
Sound to show what & determined
people could do. when there were
live and active men leading.
Why do the people of Wilming
ton lay down and sleep when their;
neighbors merchants of Norfolk,
Petersburg and Richmond, and all
over the country are- sending their
soliciting agents into every town
and hamlet along the lines of trans
portation from Wilmington to the
interior and obtaining the business
that belongs of right to them. - It
has always been so. What a splen
did location Wilmington has for im
portation and distribution to the in
terior for running the products and
exporting ! Men make the city.
God makes the country. .Who are
the men of to-day and what are they
doing to build np ? -

I mmmensad to use vonr Cutiuiira ScnnrEn
last July. My head and face and some parts of
my body were almost raw.- My head was cov
