Journal. r--ir"Orpheus C Kerr, in his most erratic mojds, will break into a bit of pathos thai relieves a whole column of sarcasm. In the iust Leader he says, regarding political discord at such limes as these: ' "Look with m? along that hillside yonder, where the gentle sun casts her lenderest beams upon the new spring yrass. You see there are irreg ular mounds; scattered al! the way up the slope hundreds hundreds ! r.eath them sleep the brave, the w-. pt o.t the f i'.iiot hemes. Their loyal biocl, poured in a fervid river to the twilight ocean cf eternity, has washed a pollution from our lhg: a blot from our ercurcheon; and, uh ! that it had al so borne 'hence upon its purifying cur rent that unholy, shifting beacon of po litical discord which ever lures our ship of Stale toward the breakers."

The New York torrespondent of the Boston JovrneH gives the following an eTdot' illustrating iha pluck' tf Presi dent Johnson : The day before the execution of the assassins, a company of gentlemen were at the. Astor House, most of whom agreed rial Mrs. Surrait would not be executed, some assigning the reason that lhe President would not have pluck enough to brave purrMe sentiment and allow a woman lo be hung. A well known merchant of New York who was prestn coolly remarked, ''A man who talks about Andy Johnson's want of pluck evidently. don't know the man. If Andy Johnson has signed the death warrant cf Mrs. Surrati, the will die. If he had intended to reprieve her, he wouid not have signed it." He added, "Let me tell you what I know. I was shut up iu Nashville when the city was surrounded .by 20,000 rebel troops, who demanded its surrender. Gen. Uuell was iu the city in command of 10,000 men. He determined on the surren der of the city to the rebel forces. He came to Gov. Johnson -and an nounced to him that he could not de fend tho ci;y, and that Nashville must be surrendered. The Governor heard him quietiy through, and then replied, "Y'ou are iu command of the United States troops, and can do as you will w ii ii these. But two of the regiments belong to the State of .Tenneaset'.'; Over those I have roGtrcT,"' Iu toe cerv tre'of the city is a powder magazine. I have trenches dug connecting the magazine with every prominent build ing in Nashville, and the trains are laid. Now you march out with , your iroopst I'll defend the ciiy.'as, long as I can with my two regiments. When 1 can doni ruort, I vilb, fice the city and blow ii to .tue.heavens, for by Nashville shall never be - surrendered hdo I am alive." Buell did not march out, and Nashville was not sur rendered. ' "What I tell you, ' said the merchant, "I heard. But . the ' moral grandeur and heroism of those utter ances cannot be told. And that," qui etly remarked the merchant, "is ,Audy Johnson, and so all will find him , who have to do with him." ; r2fA few days:since, a well dress ed gentleman stopped al the "AVeddell House, Cleveland. After,, depositing $2,000 in the safe he proceeded to im bibe several times, Getting boozy, he addressed severel ofthe guesj, .otcv ui' whom answered him. Finally, proceeding up to one of the large mir rors, and seeing himself therein, com menced a conversation : ''See here, stranger, do you belong to this house? if you do, talk lo me; for they art? d d unsociable hereabouts.' r-fThe armies of the United Slates during the last y -ar of the war, were i.uniericuily much larger than the pop ular estimate of them. At the recent festivities of Yale College, in honor of the students and graduates of that insti tution who had seen active service du ring the war, Gen. Parsons, of Sawit Louis, who was fresh from an inter view with Secretary Stanton, stated that 7SJ,G12 men had then been.discharged and sent home, and that another 100, 000 would bu tent home iu a few days. He further stated that, at the time Lee surrendered, ther1 were in the service within two or three thousand of around mi.lion of men. :s5DAs an iustauca cf the gratitude and moJe.sly of the chivalry, we give the following : A gentleman in Wash ington CitV, having obtained a promise cf the release from prison cf his rebe nephew, as soon as he should lake the oath of allegiance; apprised the F. F. V. mo.her of the youth of his success; in reply to which he received from the grateful lady a note, in which sha said: 'I think it the least you could do for your brother's child togti him paroled and- obtain for him a"' Government clerkship iu Washington." , good story is told of a gallant Brigadier, who made a visit to the Asy lum of the Deaf and.Domb at . Raleigh. N C, he being"so much delighted that he sent his band over the same evening to serenade the inmates. The fact becoming known, he was importuned to invite thr inmates of the Biiud Asylum to see his next parade.

JtjriF Robbers are like rain they fall on the just and the unjust.'- " Takk any Shape but TuAT.-When democrats are inveighing, against the proposition to allow the negroes the bal lot, it does not sound well for them to talk about the "ignorance" of the poor freedmen. How many thousands and tens of thousands of the simon pure dem ocrats are there who Afcniiot feau ana will i uot'Tenrn to read. Thousands of freed- ren can read, and make good use of their knowledge, while in some of the Planting States there exists penal statates against allowing them to be taught to read. There is a solid excuse for the ignoranco of tho negroes, but there is very little to be said for the white men of this country who cannot read and write. S-iv anything you pleas, gentlemen democrats, about ne gro suffrage, but don't talk about the "ig norant naers" it doesn't sound well. OSB Or TH H JolIN" IJaOWS KAinERS. A Rochester (N. Y. ) paper of a late date bus t tie following. "Last evening a colored man by the name of David Cunningham, who rcsid ed on the conner of Spring aa l Fitzhugh streets, died of typhus fever- lie was one of tho men concerned in the John Brown raid in Virginia, and at the time of the arrest of that great Old Domiuion terri fier he fled to Pennsylvania. He after ward went to tho West, working in sever al different States, and a few yeaaa ago come to this city, where he has been em ployed mostly in cooking for the soldiers. Latterly he has been in the caiup on the Fair Grounds. He was a man of great physical strength." What ue Found- Colonel Grace, of Arkansas, who voted to take that State out cf the Union, in a recent speech at Memphis, stated that he ascertianed a fact which he and the other rebels who were associated with him have also learn ed and will remember as long as they live. He said: "Before this war I never saw a Federal officer, hardly. I never felt the slightest oppression of the Federal Gov ernment; in fact, I never thought wo had one anril we went out to fight; then I found we did have a Government." C7"A Dubuque paper relates the case of a man in Iowa who was fatally bitten by a decapitated rattls-snake that is, by the head of the snake, after it was sever ed from the body. There is another ven omous reptile' in this country, called Slavery, which lias recently been decap itated, but is still aaaking desperate ef- forts "to bite, and will succeed, unless the utmost watchfulness ia observed. Tlie Labor Question. If every man in the United States would pay a fair day's labor, all the dif ficulties growing out of the war and the effortB of tho reorganizati6n of the late lv rebellious States would vanish in a month. Every discontented laboring man in tho South would go quietly to bis tasks, popular disturbancs would cease, and plenty and abundance would reign once more throughout tho land. Tue question of the wages of labor lies at the veiy fourdat:on of American society and American politics; and until it is every where adjusted on a fair and equitable basis so much money for so much toil we may in vain hopa for a perfect peace. We call the attention of all Northern me chanics and laboring men to the fact, that tho effort of the class of people to compel other people to work for them for little or nothg is the cause of all tho disturbance tnat we have to fear. Chrisii rn Itegift'er. A Fair Hit. Tho San Franciso Spec tator gets aff the following on its neighbor the Examiner, edited by B. F. Washing ton: "Names of the newspapers are some times very expressive, and often times contain more than is found in their edi torial columns, thus showing the effect of a good name. The Picayune, named af ter the price at which it was afforded; the (iaze!e the same; but these are old styl?. The new and popular idea is to commera orate some recent scene in our own his tory. Thus, when the Confedracy was captured, it attempted to escape iif dis guise, and would have do no so. but for the factjJthat..ca the" Confederacy's mother wished to go to the spring for water, an iixpudent roll of army blue cloth concluded to Examin'er. ' The Human Etk. The language of the eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can read in the "eyes ' of youf coiiipanionj while yon talkj whether your argument hits him, though his tongue will not con fess it. There is a look by which a tnan 6howa he is a going to say a good thing and a look when he has said it. Vain and forgotten are all tho liqe offloea of hospi tality, if there be no hollidayin the eye. How many furtive invitations are avowed by the eye, though dissembled by the lips. A man comes uway from a company, 'ha has heard Bo important remark, bat, if in sympathy with the society, he is cog nizant of such a stream of life as has been passing to him through the eye. There are eyes which give no more ad mission into them than blue berries; oth ers are liquid, and deep wells that a man might fall into: and others are oppress ive and devouring, and take tyo much notice.' There are asking and asserting eyes, eyes full of faith some of good and some of sinister omen. Universal Sctfrace. A Washington rww.'! 1 dispatch says; The belief is gaining ground here that President Johnson will recommend to the next Congress in his first message, that unless the States adopt measures, or em body in their new Constitutions provisions fors universal suffrage, that they should not be admitted. That in determining the qualifications oi members from the Southern States entering Congress, he will require in respects to all classes, in the South, a right endorsement of all the changes which have rendered existing laws and proclamations necessary. CsTThe United States Pacific Railroad Company have placed twelve hundred miles of eir new telegraph to Califor nia under contract, to build before tho end of the present season.
