Gen. Johnston, the bogus report of whose
capture at Fort DOnelson gnve him biograph-
ical fame two months ago, is now certainly dis
pos~d ofat last, as his dead body is in our hands.
He was one of the five rebel ''Major Gene
rails" the other four being Beauregard, Lee,
Cooper and Joe Johnston. lie was for half a
year commander of the rebel Department Of
Kentucky, with his headquarters at Bowling
Greens which famous strongholdhe evacuated
six weeks ago. lie is &C years of age, na.
tive Of Kentucky, and graduated at West
Point in 1926. lie was engaged in the Black
Hawk war, in the Texan war of independence
in the Mexican war, and in the war against The
MormoEs. He was Brigadier General in com
mand of the Military District of Utah, and
at the opening of this rebellion was in com
mand OF the Department of the Pacific
Shortly after the rebellion got under way, his
| loyalty was suspected, and Gen. Sumner was
sent out to supercede him. Before Sumner had
reached CaliE rnia, Johnston had left TO join
the rebels. For fear Of being caught, he took
the overland route, with three or four compan
ions, on mules, and passed through Arizon;
and Texas, and thence to Richmond. At first
he was appointed a rebel commander on The
Potomac; but upon the great Importance o
the Western Department being seen by JEFF
Davis, he was appointed 10 take chief command
at Bowling Green. He did everything tt
strengthen that position; and bring as large
iorce as could be got for It's defence. But, d
being outfanked by our advance up the Cum
barland, he ineontinently deserted his strong
hold, fed to Nashville, from thence to Decatur
and from thence to COrinth, and now has fall
en-a traitor to his native State and to his coun
try. Johnston was little over six feet high
of large, bony, sinewey frame, with grave
gaunt and thoughtful face, of quiet. unassum
ing manners-fo forming, in all, soldier of yer
imposing appearance. lie was considered b
military men the ablcst general, for command
in the rebel service, and his loss win be sever
blow to the tottering rebellion.

Obituary of a Miser.

We find the following in an eastern exchange.
Ii is both interesting and instructive;
have been SO much struck day with
case of post ao1tem justice, that 1 cannot re-
train from nalratmg it, in the hope that some
living miser may lay the lesson to heart. The
subject of the ldlowing "obifuaru" was the
son a poor wood-chopper, and he died in the
possession of $IOOO0,OOO. The London jour
mails, it seems, arc not afraid to cngrave the
truth on the mans tombstone:
The shipping and mercantile interests were
deeply shocked to learn of the sudden dccease
of Mr.. Dunbar, the well known shipowner and
merchant. His death took place this morning
Just before leaving home for business, at the
moment when his sevrant was helping him on
with his coat. Mr.. Dunbar was the OWL
er Of 50 vessels, chiefly of large size, and his
property of every description is roughly cal
culated at upward of 92,O0O,O0O sterling. lie
was mercahant as well as a shipowner;
SPECTATOR on the Stock Exchange, as well as
in foreign and colonial produce; director III
several public jdint stock companies; a man
firm and severe, just and honorable, paying to
the utmost fartbng, and eXactiug the same
With all his wealth, lie is not known to have
contribute to charitable objects Where money
was to be made he was foremost, but while he
made much he lost much. In the one article of
rice alone, he, some few years ago, lost 9l00,-
600, and the market for that produce has ney
er been the same, as it used to be since he went
into il. He was induced TO cmoark in the
speculation, in expectation Of the Crimean
war lasting for years. Under this impression
he purchased no less than twenty fine large
teak built ships at Rangoon, and chartered
the whole On his own account with the rice re-
| lerrel to. Before their arrival the war was
over; rice, which previously was selling at very
high prices, at once fell in value, and Cont;nu-
ed to do so, tie stock on hand was greatly in
excess of the demand ,;it became unsaleab!e, and
/ the loss was extensive. Mr.. Dunbar's invest
ments in various joint stock companies were so
large that the prospect of his shares being
thrown upon the market, has to-day depressed
several, particularly the marine insurance COM
panies. With abundant means and influence
at command for doing good, he leaves behind
him no lasting or grateful memorial of his
name, occupation or character. Making mon
ey and keeping it was his occupation. lie
i heaped up riches, which he neither enjoyed
himself nor allowed to others, and knows not
who shall scatter them. In few words, he
was man of great wealth, but no heart, aud
his epitaph might be written-'IIe was born;
he lived; he died; he was buried
This large fortune will fall into the hands oI

eating thLir RIGHTS

The great cry of the confeds, in bringing
on this rebellion, was that there was danger
ahead for their negroes, by the election of
Mr.. Lincoln; therefore they were going out
of the Union to enable them to secure 'tteir
righis." The consequence has been, that
greater losses of slaves have taken place than
would have occurred within the Union for a
hundred years, and those which remain are
becoming valuless. y sale is reported by the
Frederick (Md) Examiner, of likely. sound,
and healthy negro wcman, aged 80 years, her
two children, a boy Of four and a girl OF two
years, both well conditioned; they were sold in

Those cOntrabands-Change in Public Opinion.
ChaPge is,patures law We see this writ
ten on everything below, and in the heavens
above; on the leaves of the forest, and the vi
olets of the meadow; on the banks of the low
y stream, and on the sides OF the mountain,
towering aloft in its granduer. Even the stars
we call fixed, retain not their plaee-one dis

So it is with the thoughts and purposes of
men. They are ever varying. AS the stream,
Oozing at first from the rock and then contin-
uing It's onward flow, widening and deepen
ing as it goes, till at last it bears all before
opinions often start In obscurity and seem too
Insignificant for notice, aud yet continue to
augment till they become semi-omnipotent,
crushing before them all that may presume to
oppose. AT other times We see the most vast
structures Of human thought, which have been
ages IN noticing, melt away Us in an hour, like
banks of log before the rising sun. When
Martin Luther first began to declaim against
the SUPPOSED abuses of the Romish church, he
little thought that be was firing that magazine
of public wrath which was so soon to explode
and scatter that gigantic structure of deprav-
ed wisdom and overt Wickedness, even beyond
the hope of repair. But SO it was. When
james Otis delivered his famous speech in
Boston against British eneFo4chments on CO
lonIal rights, he did not even dream that he
was laying the grand corner stone of Ameri-
can Independence. No, not even when blood
began 10 flow at Lexington and on Bunkers
Hill, could the word Independence have been
lisped in the faintest whispers. 1t would ev-
erywhere have been met as treason. But events
continued to evolve themselves and public O.
pinion was swept on before them till that omi-
nous word could not Only be spoken aloud in
open day, but everywhere be hailed with the
most jubilent exultation. So when the walls
Of Fort Sumter began TO crumble beneath the
FIRE of the rebel batteries, and Abraham Liu-
coin gave the bugIe note of alarm and called
for his three months volunteers, but few imag-
ined that that crumbling beIokened the down
fall of american Slavery, SO long and by so
many considered inviolable, and that that call
was to the funeral pyre Of this great Moloeh
Of American dishonor. Such a Thought may
have been carefully whispered in The hope Of
the few, but would have universally been dis
countenaneed blythe many. But The idea has
been flung to the breeze; public feeling is agi-
tated and is fast bringing to the point that this
struggle is not to end till The entire fabric Of
the accursed institution is crushed as an egg
and the last stain Of,it is wiped out as We wipe

Easlish Opinion of the Emancipation Me.


The English papers of the 2Oth ult., receiy.
ed by the Jura, have brief comments On
President Iincolns emancipation message
The following are the views of the Londos
Star:
President Lincoln has sent a message to
Congress which win secure for him the warm
est sympathy and admiration of the civilized
world. He proposes that the Two Houses
should. by joint resolution, offcr to cooperate
with the slave States for the gradual emanci.
patton of the slave population. He advocates
the proposition by arguments which are ire
sisiible. He points out that this measure is
one of the most efficient Of selEprescrvation;
and that if adopted by the more Northern
States, it would ALLEVIATE them permanently
from the Southern Confrleracy, and so break
the neck of the rebellion. While not claiming
for the Federal Government the right TO inte-
icre with slavery within State limits, the Pres
ldcnt significantly remarks that if resistance
TO the national authority continues, it is i'm
possible to loresee what may take place. "Such
means as may seem indispensable, or may OBJ
viousy promise great efficiency towards ending
the struggle, must aud will come" This is an
unmistakcable hint TO those who persist in re-
belIiOn 10 put their house in order. Mr.. Lin
eoln in the form Of an interrogatory, suggests
whether the compensation offered would not
be of more value to the States and persons
concerned that the institution of slavery 10

pears 10 have been well received by the more
influential organs of the press and we shah

it must occasion within the walls of Congress-

of this document, and the charaeter Of the issues
which are involved in the propositions which it
contains. 1t is, at all eFents,an indication that

SwIFTNEss OF BIRDs.-It has been calcula-
ted that hawk will fly not less than $50
miles in an hour. Major Cartright, on the
coast of Labrador, found by repeated obser-
yaiions, that the flight Of an elder duck was
at the rate Of 90 miles an hour. The flight OF
a common crow is nearly twenty five miles an
hour, and SpalIauzani fonnd that Of the swal-
low TO be about 62 miles, while he conjectures
that the rapidity of the swift is nearly three
times greater. A falcon, belonging to Henry
", of France, flew from Fountainbleau to
Malta in less than twenty-fOur hours, the dis
tance being $50 miles; and it is probable
that his flight was about IS miles an hour, as
such birds fly in the day time only. These
facts show how easily birds can accomplish
their extensive migrations, especially when We
consider that favorable wind materially help
them Cn .heir voyage.
