Andrew Johnson---His Flight.
TFrom the Knoxville Register.l

Andrew johnson left Greenville last
Wednesday evening, little before sun
down, in covered buggy, with friend by
his side, and three men on horseback as an
escort. We hear Of him near Whitesburg,
in Jefferson county, where he and his
suite were refused accom- modatiOn at a
public houss by patriotic landlady. We
have information Of his passing Beans
Station next morning. Near Cumberland
Gap, it is said that he assured his Union
friends he would return with twenty thou
sand men. But whether he was still in
the buggy, or as one rumor has it, had
chartered stage with sixteen guards, has
not been exactly ascertained. His fight,
however, needed only the scotch cap and
military cloak to make it as notable as the
pIemorable escapade of his master Abra-
ham. Thus he has gone, like culprit
sneaking through the mountains to advise
the enemies of the South to come and de-
vastate his own country and slay its inha'
bitants.
/ Some time ago, Lincoln appointed John
son visitor to the Military Academy a
West Point. This was a Yankee trick o.
Abe's to give him chance to 90 North tC
betray his country, by giving our enemies
information of all the movements in the
South. This pretended mission is tho
by his friends 10 be sufficient to delud'
the people of East Tennessee.

Silent lent its eager ear, to hear sound of soul

The soug-birds hushed their joyful hymns,
The cooling zephyrs paused awhile to gather melo-
dy and music.
galaxy of beauty gathered there, seemed listening
for some
Coming sound. 1t came: A gentle stir, and then
ayoung and
Blooming maiden stepped on the mimic Rostrum.
A few and pithy words flowed from her young, glad
lips,
Showing the audience vast that woman has soul
for noble actions formed.
She then with grace and easy dignity Of mein
Gave into bold and manly hands, flag to cheer
them on.
Ahl now upon the vision bursts sight which
Holds the hearts of lovely maidens willing captves,
And forces from the sterner breasts note Of admi

Profoundly deep. He takes the Banner bright
unfurls it to the
Southern breeze and with the FIRE of young and
ardent
Heart, thanks the beauteous ones for that bright
gift
he vows in glowing eloquence to ''ncver see it low

He boldly says that "all will die by such token,
proud of
womans love. And now his eagle eye of genius
Flashes its spirit forth:
He waves the threatening arm of vengeance towards
Band of Traitors vile, and tells in burning words of
That man CAs do and WILL.
Now who that sees that bold embodiment OF
Bravery, strength, and will could doubt the issue
As every eye is gazing now, and lovely lips have

Towering strength is seento grow almost IMMORTAL.

His guardian spirit has safely borne him on,
And no great strife has been bis fortune
Fen destiny itself seems bowing low to do him

His name is now on every tongue his favor oourted:

All this-the homage of the world, and its vile

JUDGE TANEY.-The French Courier, in
noticing the revolutionary progress of
events in this country, such as the attacks
on Judge fancy, and the suspension of the
right of habens corpus, saps:
1t is not six weeks since the North was
called to arms, and in that short period
there has been talk Of "inciting a servile
war, of superseding the President for in
capacity, of suppressing sum
marily the fundamental guarantees of in
dividual liberty, of establishing the laws OF
suspected persons, of constituting perma-
nent army" This is going both fast and
far. In matters less important, but no
less significant, it is proposed to institute a
distinction sn favor of those who will take
part in the war, under the forms of com,
missions of honor. Whoever should have
suggested single one of all these three
ideas only two months ago, would have Ell
ther been ridicnled numerically or sharp
ly remiNled of the Republican sentiment

is good to be loved, but it is a paradise to

looking out through guileless eyes, beholds
only the sunshine of Gods presence; and
its deep calm, its passion pure extacy, are
worth an age Of ploddug pulseless life
First Love is the golden key to the gate of

that gate weeping, weary, sick Of earth and
its sordid passions gazing back sadly at
its shining portals, whence forevermere
they are outcasts, and which the mists of

some there are to whom love is myth, a
beautiful delusion, talked of in stories,
sung of in songs some to whose eyes its
eternal truth has never been revealed, who
rank it with old poets fables; some who,
if they acknowledge it at all, say it existed
only in primitive times, when men talked
face to face with angels, and the world was
in its youth, Do we never talk with an

BUScoxBE-About an hundred and fifty Ameri-
can niggeT-worshippers, sojourning in Paris held
meeting in that city last month to give aid and COM
fort to Lincoln and to 'save the Union"
Among the company present were Mr. Dayton,
Lincolns Minister to France, Sanford, do. to Begi-
-um, Burlngame, do. TO Austria, Cash Clay, do. to
Russia, together with several reverend gentlemen,
and lot of merchants and pleasure-seekers. All
of those that we have named made speeches aboun-
ding in buncombe glorifcation of France, and abuse
of England. The speech of Cash Clay was the
chief feature of the occasion, and is absolutely
sickening in its patronizing toadyism towards
France and its warning and threatening tone to-
wards England The abominable egotist, wereck-
on, thought that Louis Napoleon would feel very
proud of the commendation OF Cassius Clay, and
that Lord Palmerston would quake and tremble I'M
der his displeasure but neither Of these dgnta-
res, if they ever read Cays speech, could have any
other feeling than disgust and contempt for it,
England must despise his silly and contemplate
threatening, just as France must his hypocritical
praise and patronizing. The Emperor, we reckon,
could hardly take as compliment Clays questions:
"Can France .orget who has doggedly hedged in all
the fields of her gloryr Can Napoleon forget St.
Helena2 Will he at her (Engand's) bidding turn
his back upon the East 2" New Of all men in the
world to see through such contemplate claptrap as
this, Napoleon is the man. He must utterly despise
it; and if he were previously disposed to be a
friend of Lincolns desperate fortunes this transpa
rent attempt at humbug and trckery must surely
make him an enemy.

THE LENGTH OF THE WAR.-The New
York Tribune begins to appreciate and
the twenty years job it has
been bringing ON the country. The fol-
lowing is from that paper:
The contest is destined to be more pro-
tracted than was generally anticipated at
its commencement. Though the South is
inferior to the North in some important
particulars, and especially in money and
credit, and though her maratime resour-
ces, her mechanical appliances, and her
manufactures are slender, yet she abounds
in brave men, accustomed to the use of
weapons, and reckless of life. She has
some Of the best military engineers in the
country, and some Of the ablest officers
who have led our troops in recent wars
Though cut off from her usual supply il
the North, and hemmed in on her seI
coast, she will by cultivating selfreliance
make desperate efforts to supply these de
ficiencies. Rely upon it, the naughty
imperiOus, impassioned South will hole
out in this contest to its last extremity

A LITTLE TRUTH.-The n Y. Herald, out and out
for Lincoln, Notwithstanding its customary system
of stupendous lying in behalf of the nigger-wor-
shipping Administration, finds it necessary, now
and then, to tell the truth Every one knows how
it and other Northern papers have boasted of the
millions on millions of money at Lincolns COM
mand; yet the last U. S. Government loan was Ia
ken only at the runous rate of fifteen per cent dis
count; and, in view of the necessity for further
loans to carry on Lincoln's kingdom and his war,
that Herald, in late ISSUE holds forth as fell
tows:
1t is supposed in the street that govern
ment will require at least hundred millions of
money this summer. How to raise it is the ques-
ton. II cannot be raised by the sale Of Treasury
notes. People will not take them at par unless
they bear some ruinous rate Of interest. To issue
more federal stock would inevitably cause severe
fall in the price of the six per cents. they would
probably sell below go before $25 900 900 were ne
gotiated. No scheme promises so well as that of a
great bank Of $75,00o,000 or l00,000,000 capital
in which the government should take $50, 600, oO0
stock, paying for II in its own per cent stock al
par.
This sounds very differently from what we have
been used to, in Lincolns organs; and we hope
that viii hear no more, after this, about rich
North and bankrupt South.
