told them he had no information a to how

slider North CArol,ns out Of the Union -
the question Of secession had not been
subnitted 70 the people,; that he would
respect every man that va not an orici-
nal secessionist and treAt them With everv
consideration. Still he inst march through
the State in pursuit of Johnston, and the
people must necessarily suffer by that
march. Johnston's arupy vas inferior to
his and every man slain in the future vas
m unnecessary sacrifice. Johnston and
not himself would be responsible for tie
sacrifice aud the suffering entsiied on the
people Of N. G. The civilized world
would pronounce Johhston's course in.

1ne 1rioones W sshfngton special says
the statement that President johnson de-
clines all precaution fof his personal safety
u erroneous. True he has not given auv
special directions for guards to be placed
about his person, but lie approves the pre-
cautions taken By the authorities, which
embrace tho continuance upon duty Of
the late Presidents body guard, COM
nanded BY 1t J. b. Jamison of Ohio.
This company consists of one select man
from each county in Ohio and numbers
nearly ono hundred men. A sufficient
forcs Of this guard is upon duty at all
times, and the visitor who calls upon the
President At bis temporary mansion is
confronted st once upon approaching the
door BY three or four soldiers, who do not
permit any one TO advance until his name
has been sent 10 and the order given by
the President to admit hin. In the hall
adjoining the reception room are also
found soldiers Of genteel department. who
quietly remain about the entrance within
few feet Of Mr. Johnston. Scntip.ls alse
constantly ssrroand the house upon the
streets and ia the lot upon which ths
building stands. In fact every reasonable
preoaution il takea 70 prevent any sio
leaos being astsmptsd upon tho Prssi
dent.
