soon be called upon to furnish her quota of
men for the regular army of the Southern
conrederacy. This Quota has been put
down at 900 men, With an empty trea-
sury we cannot imagine how she can enlist,

Tribune states, our state is bankrupt at
this early stage Of the action, We think the

Brave Andy johnson.

Mr.. Jchnsan's history has been a strange
Bnd eventful one. Left an orphan at an
early age, without property and friends, he
was bound apprentice to a tailor, whom he
served for seven years He never attended
school day in his like, and painfully
taught himself to read by perseyering eff
forts, after his daily labors on the shop
board. At the age of 20 he married and
his wife taught him to write and cipher.
Within two years he was chosen Mayor of
GreenviIle, where he had settled after re-
moving from his native state Of n, Carolina,
and five years later he was sent to the egis-
lature. In 1913, at the age of 35, he was
sent to Congress, where he remained ten
years, when he was elected Governor of
Tennessee and after filling the Office for
two years he was chosen u Senator of the
U. States in 1857. The high personal
qualities which have raised Mr.. johnson, in
the face of such disadvantages, from the
position of a journeyman tailor TO that of
U. S. Senator, were strikingly shown in the
recent session of the Senate, where his
brilliant and overwhelming replies to Gen,
Lane commanded universal admiration while
his manly aud energetic defence of the nnion
gave him a claim to the gratitude and es-
teen Of the free states which can never be
forgolten.-N. Y Tribune.
