From the Brandon (hiss.) Republican
QUITE an effort was made in our late
Congress to nav the President $4,000 out
of his $25, 600 per anum in gold. One Dill
passed the Senate and another one passed
the House, but we believe neither one
became a law. We heard of no bill be-
ing introduced to give privates IN the
army, at Sl3 per month, portion OF
their wages in gold. A private gets 500
per year for facing the balls OF the enemy
and standing guard on cold and stormy
nights. JEFF. gets $4,000, or little
more than one hundred and sixty prlyates
get; has the kprivilege of giving all his
friends and relatives fat offices; lives IN a
fine house free of rent, and has Lees
whole army to protect him from the bull
lets of the enemy. Verify, this Is a
strange world.
OLD Abe Lincoln's father was noted
for his hog stealing propensitiesp and for
getting drunk and whipping his wife and
little Abe, who run away from him and
engaged as deck hand on steamboat,
until he raised money enough to open q
little cross roads whiskey shop. ,s.
ANDY JoHKsoN's4father was several
times publicly whipped at a whipping~
post, and afterwards sent to the peniten-
tiary' Andy could not read or write his
own name at the age of twenty-one.

Charles Sholl, G. E, and published by

am acting under the conviction, based
upon personal experience and ample infor-

Of Immigration, 10 order to prevent abuses

to be under the authority and the auspices

sonally concerned much more probably
employed in using my opportunities for
the colonization of tracts OF waste lands in

l have now progressed far enough to
satisfy myself that Notwithstanding the
preJudices cultivated against us at the
sources and landing ports of emigration,
We will command q reasonable share of
the inhuH so soon as the perils of war are
shifted from our Immediate vicinity, and
We devote the necessary means and indus
