Oram i I Tl' -v iL NO. 71. DAILY LEADER THtTRSDAT, af AKCH 2. 1861. Andy Johnson's Speech.

We printed, few dajs a fief its deliy ery, tbe greatly abbreviated report, fur. nished to the New York preat, of the in augural address of Vice-President Johnson, a report which indicated with painful clearness the fact, which the warmest friends of the Vice-Preiidant did not dare to aeny, tna. upon tnis nigs occasion he presented himself before the gaze of the world in a state of maudlin in ioilcation. We print this morning the re port cf hit speech, prepared, a fortnight af ter its delivery, for the Congressional Globe which was carfully revised by the Vice President after he had recovered from the delirium of his debauch. Tbe "revised and corrected edition bears Justrenongh resemblance to the disgraceful stump- speech which Mr.

Johnson really delivered painfully to remind all readers of that shameful scene; and yet it is so expurgated and glossed over that it has almost lost its identity. It is perhaps what Mr. Johnson had meant to say, and would have said if he had not been intoxicated. It is to use an old phrase the appeal from Philip dratk to Philip scber. It would have been better for the Vice President to have permitted his first speech to go, unchal- luged, upon the record, than to have Qllied fresh attention to the matter by the Publication of this travesty of it.

We should hardly have renewed our comments upon this sad affair but for the fact that the New York Timet quotes the Congressional Globe's report, assuming it to be a correct and bona fidt one, and makes it the text for a denunciation of those Union papers which have denounced the drunkennesi which disgraced the na tion and the Vice President. It even hints that the general indignation expressed at the insult which Mr. Johnson has offered to the country, is a hypocritical horror, assumed because the journals in question differ in opinion with him. We protest again- the double deal ing of the Times. It is notorious that the peech published in the Congressional Qlobe not the peech which Mr.

Johnson deliv ered. It is notorious that the real speech dis- gracedthespeakernsulted covered the nation with shame. It is notorious that when that speech was de livered IMr. Johnson was in a state of grots intoxication. even the Vice President himself will deny these facts and these facts called forth the just indignation of every patriot.

The New York Timet will only Injure its protege by mis representation aid subterfuge. It may attempt to denounce the Union journals which have manliness and independence enough to reprove the vices of party friends well as party foes but it will find that there are papers not so ready as itself to crook the pregant hinges of th knee, That thrift may fo.low Owing to the fact that the wires are down in the East, the usual dispatches to the New York Associated Press failed to reach us this morning. The special dis patches to the Western Associated Press, containing the usual amount and variety telegraphic news, will, however, be found in our telegraphic column. Andy Johnson's Speech. Flight of a Facetious Editor from Fayetteville.

etieviii). the Fayetteville Telegraph, March. We do not know but that we may be compellei to suspend publication of the Telegraph Deiore next year. II all ac counts of excited ciuriers be correct there must be five hundred thousand Yankees within two hundred yards of Payetteviile They have guns that can throw two ounce shells over three hundred yards, the citr is in easy range. As soon as four hundred thousand of these dear fellows enter the city from the south we propose to retire by the road lead in north, borne of them don't like us, and rather than have a difficulty we shall fall back.

We bee that some of our friends will re member us very kindly to Mr. Sherman, he should come this way, and inform him that tbe speediest way of ending this war is to hang the best men of his command and make his way back to his family. It he don't like tbe proposition he can trade his army off for a dog, and hang tbe dog. An English Cure for Drunkenness. There is a prescription in use in Ens-land for the cure of drunkenness, by which thons ands are said to have been assisted in recovering themselves.

The receipt came into notonoty tnrougb tno elljrts or Jonn Vine Hall, commander of the Great Eastern steamship. He had fallen into such habitual drunkenness, that his most earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved unavailing. At length he sought the advice of an eminent physician who gave him a pre scription men ne touowea taiintuiiy tor seven months, and at the end of that time had lost all desire for liquor, although he had been for many years led captive by a most debasing The receipt, which he atierwards puDlisned, ana Dy which so many otBer drunkards have been assisted to reform, is as follows: Sulphate of iron, five grains Magnesia, ten grains peppermint water, eleven drachms spirit ot nutmeg, one drachm; twice a day. This preparation acts as a tonic and stimulant, and so partially supplies the place oi the accustomed liquor, ana prevents mat aoso-lute physical and moral prostration that follows a sudden breaking off from the use of stimulating drinks. a Newspaper Statistics.

om the Newspaqer Fresi Directory for 1865, we extract the following on the present position of the British press 'mere are now puDiisnea in tne unitoa Kingdom 1,271 newspaper, distributed as follows: jiiDgiana, 4i; wales, 41; Scot land, 140 Ireland, 133 British Isles, 14. Of these there are 48 daily newspapers published in in Wales, 11 in Scotland, 12 in Ireland, and 1 in the Brr.it Isles. On reference to the edition of this useful directory for 1856, we find the followinir interestine- facts, vis that in that year there were published in the United Kingdom 799 journals. Of these 37 papers were issued daily, 15 in lion don, 10 in the provinces, 7 in Scotland, and 5 in Ireland. But in 1865 there are now established and circulated 1,271 papers, of which no fewer than 73 are issued daily- The magazines now in course ot publication, including the quarterly reviews, number 634.

Of these 208 are of a decidedly religious character, and by which she Cburch of England, Wesleyans, Meth- dist, Baptists, Independents, and other hristian communili, are duly repre sented. The Latest News. BY TELEGRAPH. LAST NIGHT'S REPORT. The Late Freshet at Meadville.

The panic and excitement of yesterday have somewhat subsided. There is more quiet and a steadier feeling in financial and commercial circles. There was a general disposition to rally the prices in all directions, yet everything is unsettled and the market. is still feverish. At the Stock Exchange there was an increased demand for Government gold-bearing bonds.

The market improvement in them is with quite liberal dealing. The greatest advance was ia the 10-40 loan. Coal and miscellaneous were all better on call, but the prices fell off again. Railway peculations are all better and there was an advance of 12 per with some demand for leading shares. At the second board the depression in the Bailroad List increased, and the lowest prices since the beginning of the down ward movement were made.

There was a strong pressure to sell throughout the last board, but the market was Bteady, with slight improvement on some shares. I here was a strong effort made this morning to rally Gold, but tbe feeling was not fully sustained, and in the afternoon the advance was entirely lost Early in the day a report was current that Grant had been defeated, which was afterwards denied. The latest rumors are that Mobile has been captured, and that tbe Can ada will bring out a large amount of specie. is PETROLEUM STOCKS. Petroleum Stocks are dull, and prices a shade lower.

United States sold at 1450 Buchanan Farm 105 Oceanic 250 Excelsior 600; Cherry Run 71 Germania 85; Bynd Farm 890; Tack 305310; Webster 116. Crude Petroleum is a trifle better to-day. Sold a. 26c; Refined, in bond, 6455c; fme, 7476c. There was a tendency towards more steadiness early in the day in commercial circles, but towards the close there was a renewal of the decline of the past week.

Everything is again on the down track. In general produce and merchandise only a limited business is doing and dullness is still prevailing feature. Telegraphic reports of the leading markets all over the country show a heavy decline in principal articles, produce and manufactures keeping pace with the depreciation here. The fall ing off in Sugar, Molasses and every description of groceries is very marked. Pro visions sympathise very perceptibly in the downward tui n.

in tne dry eoods mar ket there has been a rapid decline. At the dry goods auctions to day buyers manifested anxiety market ieverish and unsteady; prices fluctuate with every rumor. In most oases the same articles as were sold on Friday show a decline, and very few re covered a slight advance; many lots were passed entirely over. The sale included in the line of flannels that which brought only indifferent prices there was a fair sale of French goods, which pawed off fairly, prices having somewhat recovered from previous low rates, and a large sale of ribbons satisfactory prices. The attendance was large, and the bidding quite spirited.

STOCKS. At the Evening Stock Exchange stocks were not very strong this evening. Gold sold, after call, as low as 155, and stood at the close of the market at 155). American Gold 163.

PRISONERS STATEMENTS. The Tribune publishes a statement of prisoners recently escaped from the South. They report a strong Union sentiment in the region where they traveled. Large quantities of cotton are concealed and waiting transportation to our lines. APPEAL FOR CLOTHING.

The American Union Commission pub lishes an appeal for olothing to give to deserters, in exchange for uniforms of the rebel army, in which they do not wish to appear after passing our lines. HOSPITAL STORES. A letter from Xewbera urges the people in fnrwarrl wilrmiiL rlnlav. atir.h hrwnitat stores' as can be collected. Sick and wounded soldiers from Sherman's army are daily arriving, and there is no adequate supply of such articles as they need.

SPECULATIONS ON MEXICAN AFFAIRS. The Herald editorially thinks Maximil ian's quarrel with the Church party will result in its driving him from Mexico. It says his position is very precarious, as be has quarrelled with the party that took him there, and may lead them to unite with the Republicans. It says he has broken off with the French, so that his speed overthrow is predicted. The Kim' Paris correspondence says: The excitement about the relations be tween France and the United States is increasing.

PROTESTS. Paris papers announce Maximilian's protest against being excluded from the succrssicn to the Austrian throne. The inference is that he expects to leave Mexi co and return to Austria. HOPES TO BE BLASTED. The Raleigh Conservative of the 10th says: We pin our rates to uenerai with the assurance that General Sherman can be defeated, and we await the result with patience.

We know there is activity among the military on our side, and efforts are making to arrest his onward progress. BLOCKADE RUNNERS AT NASSAU. A private letter from Nassau, dated the 12th, says thirty-six blockade runners are in that harbor with nothing to da There are fifty warehouses full of goods for which there is no sale. Cargoes ordered from England three months ago are aariving, and the owners are sending them back in the same vessels. SPECIAL ORDER.

GEN. THOMAS REPORT.

Maj. Gen. Thomas, In his official report oi bis autumn and winter crmpaign, says that to CoL Palmer, and his command, is accorded the credit of giving Hood's army the last blow of the campaign, at a distance of over 200 miles from whero we first.struck the enemy, on the 18th of December, near Nashville. He says to all my commanders, Major Generals Schofield, Stanley, Rcsseau, Sted- man, Smith, and Wilson, and Brigadier General Wood, and their officers and men, give my thanks and gratitude for the generous self-sacrifice and manly endur ance under trying circumstances, and in all instances too much praise cannot be accorded to any army, which, hastily made up from fragments of separate corps, can successfully contend against a force nu merically greater than itself and of a more thoroughly solid organization, in inflicting on it the mo3t crushing defeat, almost to ST.

The rebel Major Bradford has been as signed the command ot a selected body of desperadoes from the Southwest Depart ment to bushwhack along the Big Black and Mississippi rivers. High premiums are said to be paid for the privilege of serving in this command. The Bulletin has information that For rest, with three thousand cavalry is at West Point, Jackson at Verona with three thousand, Mc Butters at Kalona and Chalmers at Habia, each with one thousand. These numbers are believed to be exaggerated, but the locations are probably correct. They are poorly mounted, but have abundant supplies.

FROM NEW ORLEANS. New Orleans March 17, via Cairo 22. Free trade lfts been extended along th line of the Mississippi, and liberal permits are granted for supplies. The steamship Morning Star left the bar on the 15th for JSew York. General Canby is now near Mobile and a general attack will certainly be made within five days.

The steamer Keyport, while passing the Highlands on Pamunky river, was fired into this morning and considerably dam aged. FROM RICHMOND PAPERS. The Richmond DUpatch, of Monday, quotes from the Raleigh Progrest a rumor that one of Sherman's columns is moving to cut the railroad between Greensboro and Raleigh. The Sentinel says twenty thousand dol lars in Confederate money and several watches and other trinkets were found on the body of one of Sheridan's raiders killed near Ashland. The Raleigh Confederate, of the 16th, says The best impression to-day ia that Sherman is trying to find Terry and Schofield.

Raleigh does not seem to be in his path just now. The Progress, of the same date, has the following The career of Sherman will be put a stop to. We violate no secresy by saying he will be confronted by a formidable force, commanded by able and experienced officers. The same papers say that Wade, Hamp ton and Hardee, with only their body guard, charged upon and defeated 200 of Kilpatrick's men. The Dispatch reports a great flood in the James river, flooding the lower part of the city and stopping all repairs to the canal.

RUMORS. The World 't Washington special says Fresh rumors are received that the rebels will evacuate Richmond. It is thought a great battle must take in a few FROM SHERMAN. The Tribune's Beaufort, N. corres pondent, of the 19th, says Sherman's advance at Goldsboro encountered the rebel rear guard and drove it till they came np with the main column.

There had been no other fighting. Yesterday Evening's Edition. NEWS SUMMARY. NEW YORK. March.

22. It was recently stated in the South Caro lina Legislature that the entire effective force of the Confederacy was only 120,000 men, and official documents from Richmond were produced to prove the statement. The Herald prints official documents croine to show that there is a comnlnta rnn. tore between Maximillian and the Catholic Church. Among them is a letter from the Pope to Maximillian, in which he utters warnings and gives advice, all of which, however, are disregarded by the latter.

The Arch Bishops and Bishops ot Mexico, also protest against the acts of tbe new tmporor and appeal tor a sutpension of the measures against the church. Their protest is also unheeded and the final decrees of religious tolerance and the confirmation of the reform laws of uarez are pronounced. Abe Tribune James river correspondent says from report that great consternation is prevailing in that city. They say that the city has been for some time in course of evacuation, sending government materials, machinery, to Liyncnourg ana Aunviue. sneridan, tney also say, has put a stop to this in a great measure by destroying tbe Kicbmond and Lynchburg Canal the main means of communication left, The Danville road is nearly worn out.

These men think Davis, Lee and other leaders have lost all hope, and already have their eyes on Mexico as an asylum. ine Tnoune a wasnington correspond ent says: A Senator just from the front says it is General Grant's opinion that iticnmona will no evacuated witnin a few days. Tbe sanitary commission are sen dine large quantities of stimulants to the Army of the Potomac. A number of sureeons and nurses left here to-day for City Point.

Tne Herald a Wasnington special says: It is known by the Administration that Stephens, Hunter and Lee are all hopeless of the rebellion, and have informed Davis. Lee looks npon the arming of the slaves as a failure, for the simple reason that Congress delayed the measure too long. Besides tne lauure to make tne negroes free render i the plan useless. president Unco in does not believe tnere will be any more serious fighting, but that the rebels will soon surrender. The Heralat Key West correspondent says: Tne object ot uenerai jxewton recent expedition up St.

FROM NEW YORK. NEW YORK. March. 22. The Timet' correspondent says that rebel deserters report Shermrn arrived in front of Raleigh on the 13th, and that a battle was going on at last account.

This could not have been as Sherman did not leave Fayetteville until the 14th. FROM MEADVILLE. The Great Flood in the Oil. Regions. Repairing of the.

state of the Hotels Incidents of the Incidents of the Trains on the A. G. W. Railway. Resumed.

Correspondence Cleveland MEADVILLE, March. 20. Editors Leader: The city is resuming its wonted life and activity buildings, fences, sidewalks, are being repaired, and soon all traces of the great flood will hare disappeared entirely. The countenances of tbe citizens no longer wear an expression of gloom and foreboding, but now beam with gratitude and thankfulness. The streets are filled with people, and here and there are to be seen groups busily engaged discussing the leading and all-engrossing subjects the flood, the draft and oil.

A draft took place yesterday and is being continued to-day, and the city is filled with inhabitants of the surrounding towns, all anxious to learn if they have been drafted. The hota's are crowded, jammed full sleeping accommodations sought for any where, at any price. Many were com pelled to sleep on the floors of the sitting rooms in several of the hotels last night. During the flood, many strangers who were unable to proceed on their journey, were kindly provided for by private fami lies, who are noted for the promptness with which they always come forward in such emergencies. A splendid new hotel is being erected or rather is just being completed on the corner of Chestnut and Water streets.

It is built of brick, in a semi-gothic style, and will accommodate several hundred guests. It is an ornament to the city, and a credit to the builders. On the whole, Mead vi lie is is a truly thriving, flourishing condition. The streets are kept clean and tidy, the people are kind and sociable, and everything tends to make It a matter of regret to a tempon ry resident to be compelled to leave behind so genial and pleasant a place Major Delaney, a colored citizen of your State, was in the city yesterday, and left this morning for Charleston, to take his place on Gen. Saxton's staff.

Ha is vary black, wears his straps wit a diznitv. and makes the military salute with all the ease and grace of a French officer. Considerable anxiety is felt here for the safety of a party consisting of two gentlemen and two ladies that left the steps of the McHenry House in a boat for Franklin, on Saturday last. Nothing has been heard from them Bince their depart ure, and fears are entertained that they were sweptaway by the flood and drowned. The excitement here during- the contin uance of the flood is described as beinz of the most intense nature.

Police were sta tioned at each end of the Chestnut street bndge to prevent people from attempting to cross on foot, until the water rose so high as to set the bridge afloat. Nearly the entire population gathered around on eminences and buildings to witness the grandeur and destructive force of tbe raging flood. On the west side of tbe town all the yards and gardens were covered to the depth of three or four feet with water, the plank walks, fences, about the depot and AlcUenry House were floating and drifting away, and oil-barrels, hay, trees, fences, lumber, etc rushing by on the main current from the country above with lightning velocity. Small boats were plying hither and thither, taking women and children from houses whose lower stories were filled with water. Many poor families were obliged, in their hasty departure, to leave behind many articles valuable to them, which they have been unable to re cover.

West of the McHenry House, across the creek, stands the large stave manufactory of Mr. Horace Cullum. The water rose so rapidly that it was impossible to save anything, and Mr. Cullum is a loser in staves, barrels, and other property, to the amount of three or four thousand dollars. The first stories of a row of splendid little cot tages in the same vicinity (built by the A.

G. W. Railway Company fur its employees), were filled, and the inhabitants of many of them removed their forniture to the upper stories and left the houses to the mercy of the elements, but two or three of the families braved it out, remaining in the second stories until the water subsided. Many telegraph poles had been carried away, the wires were down, and the citizens completely cut off from communication either by telegraph, rail, boat or horseback for three days and it is the fervent prayer and hope of all that they may never again witness a like condition of affairs. I I of MEADVILLE, March.

21. Editors Leader Travei to this city is uninterrupted, the A. G. W. road having been placed in completerunning order, but it will be some days before the trains can arrive and depart on time, on account of a slight leeling of insecurity that seems to be prevalent, and the company thinking it proper to run trains ratber slow, especially where the breaks have been repaired, although it is the opi ion of many tuat the repaired places are even stronger and safer tnan tney were before the ooourraoe.

ot the flood. The Franklin Branch is being repaired to-day- some 200 men being engaged in tne work; but it will be at least tnree days before it can be placed in running ordr, as the damage to that portion of tne road was nearly three times as great as on the main road. Great ere Jit is due the company for tne promptness and energy they have displayed in overcoming, in so snort a time, these seemingly insurmountable difficulties, but zeal, perseverance and energy are, as is well known, the leading characteristics of the officers of the A. G. W.

Railway. Coming to this city Monday, this side ot French creek, Hundreds ot sbeep were seen scattered alongside the track, and through the fields. A Mr. Smith, living a short distance below town, had nearly two hundred drowned, and a Mr. Anderson, in tne same neighborhood, lost some forty or fifty.

But these are only isolated cases, and it is said that many more tarmers in this vicie itv have lost largely. Tne bodies of sev eral cows and horses were seen floating by the city on nday. The flood reached the first floor of the McHenry house, and everything was re moved to the upper stories, but fortunate ly the water subsided before tne nret noor was covered. The beautiful grounds be longing to the House are in a sad plight fentes carried away, trees and shrubbery destroyed, and everything in a bad condition generally; but the proprietor, Mr. Taylor, will immediately put the grounds In complete repair.

In the meantime the business of the House goes on uninterruptedly, and travelers will find the McHenry tne same excellent, noiei as formerly. ANDY JOHNSON'S SPEECH. The "Kevised and Corrected" Inaugural Speech of Andy Johnson. as It Speech of Andy Johnson. as It appeared in the Congressional.

Globe. The Vice-President elect, (Hon. As- drew Johnsos, of Tennessee, in reply to tne question as to whether he was ready to take the oath.) Iam. Then turning to tne senate be said senators. I am cert) to-day as the chosen Vice-President of the United States, and as sucn, by constitutional provision, I am made the presid ing officer of this body.

I therefore pre sent self here in obedience to tne men behests of the American people to dis charge a constitutional duty, and not pre sumptuously to thrust myself in a position so exa.ted. Mav 1 at tnis moment it may not be irrelevant to the occasion advert to the workings of our institutions, under he Constitution which our fathers framed and Washington approved, as exhibited by tne position in wnicn stand Deiore tne American Senate, in the sight of the American people 7 Deem me not vain or arrogant yet I should be less than man if, under such circumstances, I were not proud of being an American citizen, for to-day one who claims no high descent, one who comes from the ranks of the people, stands, by the choice of a free constitu ency, in the second place in this Govern ment. There may be those to whom sucn things are not pleasing; but those who have labored for the consummation of a free government will appreciate and cherish institutions which exclude none, how ever obscure his origin, from places of trust and distinction. The people, in short, are the source of all power. You, Senators, you, who constitute the Bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, are but the creatures of the American people; your exaltation is from them the power of this Government consists in Its nearness and ap proximation to the great mass of the people.

You Mr. Secretary Seward Mr. Secretary Stanton, the Secretary ot the Navy, and the others who are your associates you know that you have my respect and my confluence derive not your greatness and yoir power alone from President Lincoln. Humble as I am, plebeian as I may be deemed, permit me, in the presence of this brilliant assemblage, to enun ciate the truth that courts and the President and his advisors, derive their power and greatness from the people. A President could not exist here forty-eight hours if he were as far removed from the people as the autocrat of Russia is separated from his subjects.

Here the popular heart sustains President and Cabinet offi cers; tbe popular will gives mem ail meir strength. Such an assertion of the great DrlnciDles of this uovemmeni may ce con sidered out oi place, and I will not consume the time of these intelligent and enlightened people mucn longer; but could not be insensible to tnesa great truths when a plebeian, elected by the people the Vice-President of these mted states, am nere to enter upon sb discharge of my duties. For those duties claim not the aptitude of my respected predecessor. Although I have occupied a seat in both the House ef Representatives and the Senate, I am not learned in parliamentary law, and I shall be dependent on the courtesy of those Senators who have become familiar with the rules which are req uisite for the good order of this body and the dispatch of its business. I have only studied how i may best advance the interest of my State and of my country, and not the technical rules of order; and if err I shall appeal to this dignified body representatives ot tales lor sunaneet and indulgence.

Before I conclude this one: inaugural address, in the presence of this audience and though a plele.n boy, am author ized by the principles of the Government under which I live to feel proudly conscious that I am a man, and grave dignitaries are but men before the Supreme Court, the representatives cf foreign Governments. Senators, and the people, I de sire to proclaim that Tennessee, whose rep resentative 1 nave been, is iree. cue nas bent the tyrant's rod, the has broken the yoke of slavery, and to-day she stands re deemed, she waned not ior tne exercise power by Congress; it was her own act, and she is now as loyai, jar. General, as is the State from which you come. It is the doctrine of the Federal Constitution that no State can go out oi tnis nion ana moreover, Congress cannot eject a State from this Union.

Thank God, Tennessee has never been out of the Union It is true, the operations of her Government wire for a time interrupted but she is still the Union, and 1 am her representative. This day she elects her (governor and ner Legislature, which will be convened on the first Monday of April, and again her Sen-tors and Representatives will soon mingle with those of her sister States; and who shall gainsay it, for the Constitution requires that to every State shall be guaran teed a republican iorm oi government. 1 now am prepared lo take tne oatn oi office and renew my allegiance to the Constitution of the United States. Incidents of Sherman's March through. South Caroline.

We clip the following from the corres pondence of the Hew York Herald from Sherman's army: HANGERS ON OF THE ARMY. I have used the word bummer in my accounts, and it has been suggested that many of your readers do not know the meaning of the term. It has now a recognized position in the army lexicon. Any man who has seen the object that it applies to will acknowledge that it was admirably selected. Fancy a ragged man, blankonod hy the smokes of many a pine knot fire, mounted on a scrawny muis, without a saddle, with a gun, a knapsack, a butcher knife and a plug hat, stealing his way through the pine forests far oat on the flanks of a column, keen on the scent of rebels, or bacon, or silver spoons, or enrn.

or anything valuable, ana you nave him in your mind. Think how you would admire him if vou were a lone woman, with a family of small children, tar from help, when he blandly ib quired where you kept your valuables, "ioina now yuu would smile when he he pryed open your chests with his bayonet or knocked to ninnw vour taoles. Dianos and chairs tore vour bed clothing in three inch strips, and scattered the strips about the yard. The bummers i av it takes too mucn una to use keys. Color is no protection from these rootrhnders.

Thev go tnrougn a negro cabin in search of diamonds and gold watches with iust as much freedom and vi vacity as they "loot" the dwelling of a wealthy planter. They appear to be pos sessed ot a spirit of pure cussedness. One incident of many will illustrate. A bummer stepped into a house and in-quircil for sorghum. The lady of the house presented a jug, which he said was too henvv.

to he merely filled his canteen. Then taking a huge wad of tobacco from his mouth he thrust it into the jug. The ladv inauired, in wonder, why he spoiled that which he did not want. Oh, some feller'U come along and taste that sornhum, think you've poisoned him thon he'll your damned ort There ff muutted men with the columr, inl tbey go every- where. Some of them are loaaed down with lilverware, gold oom and other valaa-bles.

I hird notttagin sayingthat thrta. flftbs (in value) of the persoaal property of the counties we hare passed through at in Sherman's army to-day. The yield of horses and wagons has not been so large aat on the Georgia campaign. In the matter of food we have fared quit a well. THE WHITE SLAVE.

The famous white slave came into oar lines this morning and reported to General Logan. His name is James La Roach, of French descent by his father. His graat grandmother wat a pretty Indian girl, and reared by a Mr. Torrent, by whose son shs had a daughter, who was sold to a Mr. Western, of Charleston, who had a daughter by her.

The latter was the mother of our slave, and kept in servitnda by her half-sister, a Mrs. Smith, who afterward sold both mother and children to bearUeea traders, who trafficked them over th country. This man was about forty yeara of age, slight build, long sandy haur and whiskers, and evidently without a paxtida of African blood in his veins; yet he wa the bondman of his kinsman. Arkansashsa bean transferred from vba department under the command of General Canby to that under General Pope. gaii.
