Letter from Gen. Wilson TO Gov.
Brown.

Gen. Wilson in letter to Gov. Brown,
who had complained of the collapse of the
currency and great destitution of provisions
among the people, says: He is instructed
by the President to say to him that these
evils were caused By treason, insurrecton
and rebellion against the laws of the United
States melted and carried on for thel last
four years by you and your confederate
rebels and traitors, who alone are RESPONSE

English Opinion of President
Johnson.

The London Spectator, of May 6, has a
long article on our new President, which
commences as follows: A very original,
very determined, it may be very dangerous
but unquestionably very powerful man, has
succeeded Abraham Lincoln. The public in
this country has been deceived as much by
the formal utterance of Mr.. johnson when
accepting the Presidency as by the accident
which threw such ridicule over his inaugu-
ration, in the subordinate Office. This is no
feeble ruler. sure to be a tool in the hands
of his secretaries or the parties around him,
any more than it is drunken rough, eleva-
ted by an accident and incapable Of an idea,
but a strong, self reliant man, accustomed to
rule, and to rule in a revolution, with pol
icy as distinct as that of the oldest Euro
pean statesman, and will which, be that
policy wise or rash, will assuredly make re-
sistance to it most dangerous task. There
is no single point in politics which it is SC
important to Englishmen to understand as
the character of the American President
they cannot afford second mistake such al
that committed about Mr.. Lincoln, and w
have passed hours in studying the speeches
and acts of Mr.. johnson as Governor o.
Tennessee. The more we have read th'
more strongly has the conclusion grown OF
us, that the new American President is ont
of the most individual men on the continen
"a ruler who, whatever else he may do o.
leave undone, will most assuredly rule; VIII
will borrow knowledge, but accept advic
only when it harmonizes with his ewn pre-
conceived convictions. ..p.

why.

? The President assas.natedl and BY whom2
A great and good man, destroyed and whyl
The Chief Magistrate Of an enlightened and
sovereign people foully and brutally mur-
dered, and for what purpose? The question
is, and will often be asked, tohyf Must we
look,enly upon j. Wilkes Booth a. the
murderer No Il was not in the imaglna-
tions Of his wicked heart, perhaps. that this
fendish plot was conceived. No The
statesman and philosopher will be able TO
trace the damnable plot to that bideous
monster, the demon of slavery--that dark
and foul spirit, which, while in bondage
millions of people, was continually seeking
to place its blighting pail upon the whole
nation.
Away far in the records Of the past, we
can trace the spirit that moved the heart
and directed the fatal blow given BY the
assassin Booth at the life Of the President
and brought every lover of his country to
the seat of mourning. Away back, even
from the time that Lovejoy Of Illinois. (tbe
first victim and the first martyr in the North.
ern States,) perished by the hand oi
pro-slavery assassins there is blosdy track
that can be traced through the halls Of Con.
gress aud now to the door of the Presidential
mansion. The movings and the workings
of his spirit has been omni present, $50 to
speak, everywhere. II has been in our
own community, years ago in plotting
against the lives and the property Of our
best citizens, because they dared to exercise
the right Of free speech, touching the ques.
ton of slavery. 1t may be traced to South.
ern dungeons and Southern gibbets, where
sslf.sacrificing mon have suffered for teach
ing the poor slave that be had a soul, and
to read the revelation Of God to man.
1t is the same spirit that has moved the
pen of pro slavery editors, and pro-slavery
speakers, whenever they have prated and
| howled about abolitonism. 1t is the spirit
| that has talked and wrote about sectionalism,
Southern rights, and State rights, until the
rebellion was rife in the South. 1t is the
same spirit which four years ago, planned
the assassination of the President at Bati
more, as he passed through to Washington
and which afterwards insinuated that he
was coward for having avoided theil
monstrous villainy. 1t is the same spirit
that fred up,.n the flag at Sumter and drove
the brave Anderson from one of the coun
try's forts.
1t is the same spirit, finally. for we have
not time to say more, that during the last
four years has abused and villfied the Pres
dent for every effort which he has put forth
to save the nation, and which has also abus
ed and attempted to dshonor our brave
soldiers in the field bearing aloft the starry
flag of the nation in the face of armed con
spirstors against its life that rejoiced ovel
the misfortunes Of the Federal arms. Wher
shall the nation be safe from its accurset
machinations?-Not, says that true Demo
crat, Daniel s. Dickinson, until we dig NJ

Capture of fEx-Gevernor Harris.

1t is reported that Isham G.. Harris, the
late rebel Governor of Tennessee, has been
captured. IF so, the government have Sc
cured scoundrel of some importance, not
by reason of his mental strength, which is
Indifferent, but because he is the man who,
more than ali others, took Tennessee out Of
the Union when feur-6fths of her white
people, and all her blacks. deprecated, and
many of them stoutly resisted, the wicked
suicide. Harris is about as bad specimen
as treason can furnish; he is as great a
braggart as Beauregard, and coward in
successful rivalry with JEFF. Davis, of the
petticoats. Harris is the individual for
whom Parson Governor Brownlow has been
looking for some months, and whose per-
sonal history he sketched but few days
ago in his sledge hammer English. If Har.
ris falls into the hands ofthe Parson, be will
have urgent need of prayer, and that at very
short notice, 1t is not unduly dignifyine
this malignant traitor to say that his violent
efforts for the rebellion, in 1861, added, fol
a time, the States Of Tennessee, Kentucky
Missouri, and probably Arkansas, to thu
Davis conspiracy.

A Nest of yipers.

The N. Y. Times quotes from Western
paper the following statement, showing that
assassination and murder have not only here
and there rufiianly admirer, but that
whole community may be so lost to deeency,
and devoid of every instinct OF patriotism
and humanity, ms to exult as one man ever
a crime which has no parallel in American
annals. The statement is as follows: =,
"About eighty miles from Shelbyville,
Indiana, is the little town of Marietta, a
place noted for nothing particular, save tho
yirulent type Of copperheadism prevailing
there. The reception of the dreadful news
from Washington set the copperheads there,
abouts crazy with joy. In the absence Of
cannon they loaded and fired an anvil re-
peatedy, shouted, danced, sang, and In
every possible manner gave expression to
their demoniac joy, after which they con

GETTING AT THE TRUTH. The u. s.
steamer Suwanee was the first of our war
vessels to enter the port of Bahia, Brazil,
after Capt. Collins captured the Florida
there. She was received in a very friendly
manner, and her officers were told that At
the time of the capture the Brazilians did
not make any fuss about it, but were ineited
by the resident English, who asserted that
Brazilian neutrality had been violated, and
their honor was now at stake;p with all this
and great deal more; but when the letter
Of Secretary Seward came out, it pleased
them SO that they raised procession Of ovel
Thousand people, with the American en-
sign between two Brazilian flags at the head
and marched through the streets, crying out
"Vira la An.ericdP' which OF course dis
pleased the Johnny Bulls" very much, bu
their displeasure amounts to nothing,as the!
are not liked by the BraEilians.
