CHANGE oE STANDS.
The main stand, where the organization was
effected, was facing west, and the wind being
from that quarter would blow directly in the face
of the speaker. Gov Johnson intimated to the
committee that it would be difficult to speak un-
der such circumstances, and a party at once set
10 wo1 to erect another stand on the side of
the State House. The reporters and others seized.
their chairs and prepared to change quarters
Through the kinndess of Mr.. Holloway, the re-
portOrial corps were conducted through one Of the
windows of the Governors Office 20 the new
stand. A sea of upturned faces were already in
front, waiting to hear the words of wisdom that
might fall from the lips OF the orator from Ten
nessee.
GOVERNOR JoHSsoS's SPEECH.
Governor Wright presented Governor Andrew
johnson, of Tennessee. Governor Johnson was
received by loud cheers.
Governor Wright said that twenty years ago he
had the honor of meeting Governor johnson in
Congress Since that time he had been Governor
OF his State, Senator in Congress, and was now
Acting Governor in his own State. He comes to
you a. the representative OF our Institutions. He
was poor boy-sat upon tailor's board-and
has since filed all these high Offices. He was
representative man. This Government belongs
30 the people, and Governor johnson comes to.

not with the hope that he will increase the
Copperhead vote this fall !; but for the pur.

up to the Mahony- Byington standard OF
politics. The game is shrewd one and
will to some extent win. 1t may and will
damage Tuttle this year, but will contrib
ute to the ascendency of the Byington-
Rabbit Cassidy Mahony faction next year.
The leaders of this faction know what they
are about. If by any accident, an opposi-
ton President should be elected in 1864,
thew are determined to be in position for
the dispensation of Federal patronage in
Iowa. They have no hope of success this
wear and but little of the contest in Iowa in

speakers from Fort Madison. They, how

Upon consultation it was deemed best, ow-

until evening. Accordingly Prof. Cham

a song and responded, after which he de-

A NEW REBEL IDEA.-A letter from sone
OF the aoiest citizens of Louisianatis print
ed IN the Columbia South Cu70liuida. He
makes the following suggestion as TO the
means OF conducting the war in future:
The war if continued can no longer be
conducted as it has been. Our currency is
so deprecated that it will soon cease to be
aFallapie. see but one remedy. Let no
more paper money be issued. Let the
whole Contederacy be divided into two
classes-the com batants and the producers.
AS long as this war shall last. every one of
us must be satisfied with shelter food and
clothing, and nothing else The soldiers
and officers from the highest to the lowest,
must tight without pay. Why should thew
need money when provided with necessa-
RES and their families taken care of? Let
all the resources and productions of every
Iar1ner or planter be put at the disposal of
the Government without paw Let every
woman and child, old enough for the pur-
pose, be made to work without pay. Let
the PRESIDENT and every civil officer or en-
pioyee nave no pay. In fact, let it.be a
penal offense to buy or sell anything; but
let food, raiment, shelter and medicine be
secured to every one under parish or coun-
~ organization, controlled or supervised
by the general Government. In this way
lhere would be no further increase of the
natlonal DEBT; in fact no currency would be
necessary for the time being, but every
one who should have Confederate notes in
his pocket would then feel that thew are
GOOD, and that be would have something to
1all back upon when peace is declared.
1T is on this principle that Frederick
the Great, when the existence of Prussia
was at stake, carried on successfully his
seven years. war against such odds as the
world mad never seen before and never saw
since. Berlin, his capital, was taken and
sacked hve or SIN times, and his whole ter
rltory turned almost into wilderness, but
ne came out OF that war without cent of
debt. Why? Because he seized upon the
Wnoie OF Prussia, and forced every human
Delng TO contribute to it's deliverance,s He
did not issue bonds, but parted with his
silver spoons, and expected the same sacri-
nee from all his subjects. He took every-
thlng III the name of Prussia, and paid for
nothing; we know with what glorious re-
suits. Should we adopt such a policy,
which would instantly put stop to the
increase of our national debt and ,n.ue the
world the sublime assurance of our: deter
minatiOn not to fail-together with The I'M
denlable proof of the impossibility of our
failing, because of the very adoption of
such policy-the eight per cent. bonds
winch rise to l2O or 100 in Europe The
ialn OF so heroic nation would no longer
be doubted. Those bonds would then be
more eagerly sought after than gold. and
with them we would procure everything

SEN. LYLE STILL LIvEs.-A private
dispatch from Capt. Hunter Brooks was
received IN this city yesterday; stating that
Gen. Lyle was not killed, as reported in
the regular associated press dispatch, but
was severely wounded and taken prisoner.
1t IS singular coincidence that Gen. Lytle
was wounded and fell into the hands of the
enemy at the battle of Perrysville, and that
the regular dispatches then announced his
death. His friends, and their name is le-
Slon, have reason to hope that his wounds
are not mortal and that he viii live to serve
his country.-Cfn. Com.
