Poor Tribute to President Kim
COfn's Patriotism. u- r.

-v The Cleveland Leader, in referring to the
Sherman and johnson Peace 40 gotations
says, "r -
1.-The very possibility that by the mere
agreement of subordinate military officer
the whole power of the Government might
be paralyzed, the whole suffering and sac
riiice Of the war come to naught, the crime
of murder and treason be left unpunished,
and the murderers and traitors, protected by
amnesties and agreements, permitted to
misrule the South again, and, when they
please, to raise renewed rebellion, knowing
from the past that even should they fail
they will not be punished, suggests that
our duty isnot yet done, and that the rebel
lion is not yet crushed. Thank God there
is no danger Of such a consummation and
apotheoSis of treason now. Two weeks age
there might have been. " I
Two weeks ago President Lincoln waf
aliveo and it is certainly paying poor trib.
ute to his patriotism to say that there wat
danger that he would have given his sane.
ton to terms of Peace by which "the Gov.
ernment might be paralyzed, the Whole suf:
fering and sacrifice of War come to naught

is very profound, who believes he would

WHAT WILL BE THE FOREIGN PoLICf
OF THE New PREsiDNI?-We believe from
what we know of the late venerated Presi-
dent and Of the present one, that the latter
will be much more demonstrative and ex-
acting in his foreign policy. Mr.. Lincoln
was a man Of such gentle nature that the
idea of war for any less purpose than the
actual preservation of the national existence
was abhorrent to him; and, moreover, the
political associations Of his life did not lead
to the assertion Of an extreme national poll
cy. But the case is different with Mr..
johnson. Mr.. johnson has always been a
Democrat of the Southern school-that is,
so Tar as foreign policy is involved, commit
ted out and out to the Monroe doctrine, tie
annexation OF Texas, the acquisition of Gu
ba, and so on, and be is man of the great
est tenacity of purpose We do not doubt,
therefore, that whoever is Secretary Of State,
France, England and Spain, will soon find
our foreign policy of more exacting char
acter than it has been since Spain got the
St. Domingo business, France into Mexico,
or since England committed herself in such
a hurry to her remarkble neutrality. ~

. Special Order No. So:
The General Commanding announces to
the army the suspension OF hostities, and
an agreement wi b Gen Johuson and other
high officials, which when formally ratified
will make peace from the Potomac to the
Rio Grapde. Until absolute peace isarrang-

crate the two armies Each army comman-
der will group his camp entirely with a view
to comfort, health and good policy. All de-
tails CT military discipline must still lie
maintained.
Your General hopes and believes that in
very few days it will be his good fortune to
conduct you to your homes. The fame of
this army for courage, industry ard disci-
pine, is krown all over the world. Then
let each officer and man see that it is not
stained by any act Of vulgarity, 1owdyism
and petty crime. Cavalry will parole the
front of the line. Gen. Howard will take
charge Of the District from Raleigh up,
with caya!ly, Gen. Slocum to the left and
Gen. Schofeld in Raleigh. Its right and

The Plague.

The Siberian plague, as it is called, was,
at last accounts, raging at st. Petersburg,
and already there is serious alarm in Wes-
tern Europe, for fear that it will extend to
the continental nations. There is every
reason to believe that, like the Asiatic chol-
era, and all the great epidemic diseases
know to history, it will extend its rayages
westward The French Government has
ordered all vessels from St. Petersburg to be
put in strict quarantine, while the Austrian
Government has sent medical commission
to Russia, to inquire into the nature of the
epidemic, and the best means Of treating Ii.
There is no doubt but this is the same dis
ease as that known to history as the plague, +,
and which has, in its time visited every con-
tinent but ours. Should It extend tc Wes-
tern Europe, it may not spare us, and hence
its progress will from this time forth be
watched with the keenest solicitude. Its
character is that of a contagious fever, ac-
companied by buboes, carbuncles, and 9TH
er unsightly .ruptions, Persons taken with
it often die within thirty hours. 1t gener-
ally lasts, however. week or ten days be
fore terminating fatally. -New York World.

Ts,1 Elephant Oh their Hands

The following extract, from a Richmond
correspondent of an Alb 'lition newsl apcr,
the Philadelphia hqan~r reminds Us of
the fellow who won an elephant, and then
did not know what to do with it, The cor
respondent says:
"TIlE GROWING EVIL. ...
"In Virginia is the constant and increas-
ing influx of the negroes into the city. 1t
is doubly an evil. They multiply by so
much an already too extensive pauper pop-
ulation, and they denude the farm lands of
the labor necessary to putting in the crops
and securing the haryests the present year.
1t is not intended to imply that these ne
groes should remain on the plantations in
their former condition, hut facts plainly
stated will show that the Government
should now, when all danger of their depor-
tation by their former masters is over, dis
courage, if not positively prohibit their he
gira into the cities, Here they are the most
unprof able of consumers.
Bred, all their lives to agricultural pur-
suits, they are ignorant of mechanical
tades, and cannot expect employment that
would be profitable for themselves or the
con mlnitv. On the other hand they would
be invalr able on the plantations during the
present season. A trip over any one of the
Virginia railroads reveals the fact that a
large proportion Of the soil is lying idle,
while the whole State is numbered with a
s arving population. This soil must be cul-
tiyated, and as in many instances its owners
have fed, sound policy would dictate that,
for a season, at least, it be turned over to
the negroes, to make what they can from
it. They could certainly supportthemselves,
and that is more than they are doing here.
General Ord has this matter of the r.
lux of stranger population, both white and
black, under consideration, and some policy
in respect to it will shortly be announced by
general orders, and in his hands it may
safely be left. ".,. .... .. ..'
