We had the honor of several interviews with President Johnson, and we must add before closing that we were deeply impressed with his wisdom and firmness, and with his disposition to deal kindly with our people. As wc stated some weeks since, be is not a harsh: but a-just in an nevertheless, he is disposed to temper justice with mercy. ..No one can be with him, and see anu 'near xhuj, vvhuuui, mix v is both a great and good man, and that .Provi dence h?s raised him up for beneficent aud no ble purposes.
