United States and is by that officer recognized as
State Government; finally, the officers Of the State
Bank the Comptroller, the Treasurer and the Sec
retsry Of State, under the old State Government
have surrendered up their books and papers 10 Gov.
Brownlow, and thus, by their action have acknowl.
edged him as the head Of the State Government.
The man who, against this overwhelming array
OF the evidence Of the legality Of the existing Gov.
ernment raises quibble or cavil against its author.
ity, is mere misehief-maker, working in the inter
est of the old slave oligsrchy. The movement
against the State Government is q movement to re-
establish slavery here. It can have no other pur-
pose for the sole difference between the Constitution
Of 1885 and that Of 1865 Is that the former recog.
nizes slavery and the latter does not In all other
respects they identical; the latter is verbatim
copy Of the former The present State Government
is legal, regular, valid established Government;
none could be more 50. And If the people desire
peace, if they would avoid the scourge Of another
war far heavier than that which they have already
felt they must give it firm support.-NdshriRe

DIsInherited for DisIOyaIty.

James c. johnson one of the wsalthiest men in
the South, died on the 18th instant at home neal
Edenton, in North Carolina. He disinherited al
his relatives because they left him and identified
themselves with the rebel cause His property
amounting 10 many millions of dollars, he left TO
few personal friends. His immense possessions, on
Roanoke river, comprise the richest lands in the
country. At the outbreak of the rebellion, he told
his slaves, numbering nearly thousand, that the
war would make them free and they could remain
with him or 20 where they pleased. he was per.
sonal friend Of Mr.. Clay, whose indebtedness, which
amounted TO over thirty thousand dollars Mr. John
son is said 10 have cancelled without Mr.. Clsy's
knowledge who was never able to ascertain who his
benefacter was. He was about eighty years Of age
when ne died. and was devout Union man up to
the hour of his death

Truth In COUFtShiD,

Be true TO your lover. don't mean stick 10 him
but don't deceive him. Let him know, let her know
what sort Of a person you really are. Tell eact
other your faults, make known your real opinions
state your views of married companions Despise
and abjure the humbugging which is almost univer.
sal among lovers. Girls keep out of sight of thei1
fsilings and do their best to cause their beaux tc
think them angels, and men bow like slaves to every
wish or whim of their ady-loves, and seem to live
but to make them happy. Now that is not as il
ought to be; it will not be so after marriage. The
woman will grow weary of acting her prettiest, and
the man will not endure to all sort of inconvenien
ces and submit to all sacrifices to please the woman
who is securely his own.
It is the dearest pleasure Of every true woman to
obey and make happy the man she loves, if he is
kind and reasonable, but how much better it wSuld
be to teach the sweetheart to her true position.
won't say any to the girls for as they have tc
be wooed and won, and as they have fewer chances
than the men have, there is more excuse for them
TO put the best side out only let them strive to keep
il out and we have no further controversy with
them. But the men are without excuse for holding
out such pretenses as they do. Cruel because the
pain which the woman will feel when all his subser-
Viency and preference to her is withheld will be in
proportion to the pleasure with which it is received
unwise because it may be such shock to her as to
cause her reSsutey to rebel silently cease to love
In either case the husband will be sorely punished
for so long ignoring their just relations 10 each
other.

Presidency Of the Alexandria Library Compa.
ny, at the last meeting Of the stockholders,
previous to the war to reply to the enquiry
concerning that institution, made IN the "a
zette, of yesterday, [ have only to say that
nearly all of the new books, about thousand
in number, have been either destroyed o.. car
ried off, and that the library now consists OF
about 1000 volumes Of old books, many OF
them exceedingly valuable indeed, but useful
rather as books of reference to scholars, than
for the purposes for which people usually sub
scribe to libraries. Judging from my expe,,
rience as an officer Of the company, | would
saw that unless 81. 900 were subscribed to re-
place, in part, the books have mentioned, It
would be folly to attempt the resuscltatlon OF
the library at present, and not seeing, much
chance OF raising that sum, [ have taken no
action, as yet in the matter, the remaining
books being now perfectly safe in the charge OF
the gentleman who occupies the library room.
I feel deeply interested in the reorganization
of the company, and if the gentleman who
made the enquiry has any plan to propose to
that end, would thank him to call upon me,
