GSeThe Baltimore military companies,
when here on the occasion Of the inaugura-
ton waited on Mr. Reverdy Johnson and
paid their respects to him, through their
chairman, Col, Hickman. In reply to an
allusion Of Col. Hicl,mann's respecting his
appointment to the Attorneyship General
Of the United States, Mr.. Johnson observed
that 'it would be his study and ambition to
Justify the confidence Of the President, and
to realize, as far as he was able, the hopes
Of his friends" There is no gentleman, in
the whole Union, whose appointment to this
responsible station, viii give more gratifca-
ton, than that Of Mr.. Johnson. 1t is
unexceptionabe, and we predict for his
term Of office the most brilliant success-a
success commensurate with the majesty Of
his client and the court before whom his
causes are TO be tried.

e5-If our diplomatic Representatives
abroad would initiate the recent example Of
Mr. Rowan, our Charge at Naples, in vim
dicating the honor of our country, when as
sailed, the American flag would soon come
TO be as much respected as that of Great
Britain. The case was this. An Ameri-
can sailor, in a state Of intoxicatioD, was
killed at Messina BY a Neapolitan soldier.
The moment Mr.. Rowan heard Of it, he
embarked on board the u S. steamship
Princeton, which was lying at Naples and
repaired 10 Messna, where he addressed
prompt note TO the proper authority deman-
ding redress for the outrage. He was as
promptly informed, that the murderer had
been expelled from the Army and given over
to the civil tribunals to take his trial accord

ed over to that gentleman. Mr., Came

ced in the indignity. He wished to have
difficulty with no man. In the course Of thlr-

The Southern people were induced TO vote for
General Taylor because he was Southern man, and
would, OF course, secure for the South fair share
OF our new Janitorial acquisitions. augusta Consfi-
futonalst, ID.
The Southern people did no such thing.
1t is libel upon their intelligence to make
such an assertion. But ii such were the fact,
why did the Southern people who voted for
Gen Cass do so' As well might we inn
pugn their motives for such an act, and de-
clare, that they did 60, with a view to de-
prive the South Of carrying slavery into the
new territories The Southern people who
voted for old Zack, did SO, because they had
confidence in his honesty, capacity and tidel-
ity to the whole Union, and because he re-
pudiated the assumption OF the legislative
power by the Executive. They knew, that,
il let alone by the Executive, Congress
would do justice to the South in its future
legislation upon the territories, and that Gen.
Taylor, il President, would guard the Con
stituton from violation in the last resort-all
that any part OF the Union can ask at the
hsods Of any President The future will
prove tina, the popular Judgment Of Old Jack
WAS correct to the letter.
