The Innocent Michigan Cavalry.

The ridiculous story that Mr.. La,
Wis was captured in female apparel
NAV be accounted for. If he was
folded in the arms of Morpheus, his
first proceeding upon being. so rudely
awakened, would naturally be to draw
ON his dressing-gown-a convenience
inseparable from officers OF rank when
AZ leisure from camp duties. The
Michigan cavalrymen, not beng ia
miliar with the comfortable, but some
what feminine looking article af' attire,
might naturally have mistaken it for a
lady's wrapper, and their imaginations
furnishing them with the details OF wo-
manly accouterments, it was easy for
little campfire coloring to hnish tne
picture so greedily accepted at head
ouarters.-New York Ns.ss.

The Presidents Policy.

The plan adopted by President John
son for restoring civil government to
the people of North Carolina, is meet
ing with very general approval. A few
impracticabilities, like Wendell Phil
lips, denounoe it because it does not
override the laws of that State and
compel the people to permit the negroes
TO vote; but this class, as now devel-
oped, is not large. The common senti-
ment among the friends of the admins
tration is well expressed il the follow
ing article in the N. Y. Tribune:
"There may be others who concur
with Mr.. Phillips that it would now be
wise and well for Abolitionists to de-
nounce and oppose the Federal Ad-
ministration, and set all the patronage
and power of the Government against
them, in the interest of negro suff-
rage. They, Of course, deem this
the right way to achieve that end. We,
on the other hand, regard it as sure to
defeat its present achievement, and
likely to render it foreveT unattainable.
Hence the Tribune is freely stigmatiz-
cd by the Phillips school as timid, or
half-hearted, or vascillating, or imprac;
ticable, because we adhere to the poll.
cy of attempting what may be hoped
attainable rather than waste strength in
essaying the impossibe-content to do
the good that is practicable to-day, in
the hope that this may render further
good practicable tomorrow"
To us it seems clear, that the best
interests of the oolored race, as well as
those of the country, demand that this
matter be conducted upon practicable
plans. 1t is useless to talk about the
Presidents setting aside the Constitu.
tional authority of the State govern.
ments, and debating policies in oppo.
sition Herewith. If North Carolina is
a State in the Union, her Constitution
and Laws should be just as sacred from
Executive interference as those oi
Ohio, and'the loyal citizens of the one
should have the same right to dictate
their local policy as those of the other
If the President can forcc negro suf
frage upon North Carolina, he can
upon Ohio. There Is no difference in
the relations of the two States with
the Executive.

A Story of Andrew johnson,

Mr.. Lincoln told us this story of
candy Johnson" as he was familiarly
in the habit of calling him. 1t was a
few weeks prior to the Baltimore Con-
vention, before it was known that Gov
ernor Johnson would be the nominee
for the Vice Presidency. Said he: 81

From North Carolina.

The Wilmington Herald of thh Sd

tionby the Union army, and who
formed very unfavorable estimate of

knows. Ten days ago, all kinds of We

A BETTER TINE FOR Consumers
The costs of ordinary provisions in
Richmond is less than half what it is in
New York. Good joints of meat can
be had for ten cents pound. The
same could hardly be bought here for
two shillings. Eggs are quoted at fif-
teen cents a dozen, and butter at twen-
ty-five cents. The extortion to which
we patiently submit here cannot last
much longer in the face of these facts.
The difference does not apply alone to
necessaries, but to luxuries as well.
AT Charlotte, North Carolina, you may
buy as much tobacco for twenty five
cents as you can buy in New York for
q dollar. A little while and the tum-
BILE in prices here will startle those " ho
have traded on the faith that war
prices should rule permanently. Like
other dclusions we shall see this ex-
plod ed anon.-New York Times.

GENERAL PILLow OUTwITTED BY AN
ESCAPED Michigan PRlsoNEh.-Hen-
ry G. Heartwell, a privaue in the LIST
Michigan battery, cont ibutes to the
Cincinatti Gazete the story of his es-
cape from the rebel prison at Ander-
sonville. After several unsuccessful
efforts to escape, Heartwell and COM
rade named Loyett finally got away,
and adopted the daring experiment of
presenting themselves before the rebel
Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, at Macon,
passing as deserters from. the Union
army, and demanding transit to some
foreign country, in accordance with
General order No. Go, from the rebel
War Dep artment. The plan succeed
ed admirably. Pillow gave them the
necessary documents to carry them
into. the trans-Mississippi country,
whence they told him they would make
their way to Canada or Mexico.
Armed with this authority, accom-
panied by orders for transportations
and rations, they left Macon on the
2sth of last March, crossed the States
of Alabama and Mississippi by railroad
and steamboat, and on the 9TH of April
reached the vicinity of Grand Gulf,
whtre they hailed and were taken on
board the United STATES gunboat

"yery well," yielded Maud, rising
slowly, and very angry with herself

AS soon as she left the room, Nelson
hastily glanced first on the table, then
at the mantle.
"No signs of my valentine. 1t is
very evident she has not received it.
I'm fortunate fellow, for it will be
better to say what / have to say in a
more manly direct way. Phew! what
strange creatures we are-six months
ago Maud Hunter seemed to me only
a pretty, interesting little girl, and now
Halo! what's that ?"
With this last exclamation, he picked
up something from the grate-pan.
"Aty valentine, by all that's vexa-
tious! she has thrown it away in soorn"
----he read:
"You have not expressed your feel
ings more truly than youhave my own" 7"
"God bless her! But why did she
not send it to me, as she evidently in
tended to do-ah! see, maidenly
hashfulness-dear angel!" and Mel
son performed the novel and very orig
inal pantomime of pressing the paper
to his lips.
Just at that moment Maud entered,
and Nelson precipitately advanced to-
wards her.
"Dear Maud, know it was wrong
for me to read this, but / could not
help it. May Heaven blessyou for the
joys you have given me-"
Maud drew back haughtily.
"Nay," he continued, ''this surely
is no idle jest-this writing, Maud, is
your own, and the meaning
"Is mine too," interrupted Maud
with cold dignity, though not without
sudden suspicion that she had com.
mitted herself in some unaccountable
manner.

He handed it to her at once, in 4
puzzled, troubled way.
1t was now Maud's turn to be aston.

as she gazed upon it, II thought il

provoking selfpossession. ''Ah, / sec

Trembling from head to foot, the
poor girl stood before him like a cul

revelation made by the freight.

Progress ist the south.

The Richmond Republic states that
the farmers Qandholders) Of several
central counties of Virginia met last
Thursday at Louisa Court House, and
fixed on So per month as the price
they would pay for negro labor this
season-the negro to clothe himself
and psy his own Doctors bills. This
will seem inadequate to the Blacks,
who are quite aware that they have
hitherto been hired out by their masters
and for those masters benefit, at $40
to s25 per month. Yet we would urge
every one Of them to accept the S. per
month and 60 to work, provided he
can get no more. "Strikes" are al
most always blundcrs-the laborer,
standing idle at his own cost inevitably
growing less and less able to resist the
demands of Capital. Always work
for the best price you can get, is the
safe rule, and thus qualify yourself for
earning and requiring more. The ne
gro who works for IS per month, and
has family to support out of the pro-
ceeds, will see hard times; but he will
not soften them by earning nothing at
all. And free man at work, and thus
earning some sort of living, may al
ways hope to do better at the close of
his present engagement.
Gen. Patrick, Provost Marshal Gen
eral of the Army Of the Potomac, at
tended a meeting of Blacks at Rich
mond on the Goth ult., and urged all
those who swarmed in from the coun-
try to retutn to it and hire out to the
farmers Qate planters) for the most
they could get. He cautioned those
who should remain, against idleness,
and admonished all, that Freedom inn
piled industry and frugality. Such ad-
vice is freely given all oyer the South,
and the Blacks generally hear and
heed it. Yet they follow our armies
and flock into cities, often because they
prize Liberty and fear that it may be
snatched away if they remain with
their old masters. Some complain OF
hard usage, and say they cannot trust
their late masters; but, very generally,
they cheertully accept kind words and
fair promises when rendered, and go
to work at the low wages offered them.
And the masters, who at first would
have no dealings with free negroes, are
finding that the negroes are as ncces
sary to them as they to the negroes
and are calling back those they toe
hastily repelled. Hence, though an
archy, idleness and famine, are very
prevalent, it is plain that matters arc
gradually improving, so that the mum
Der of the unemployed is diminishing
Marriages among the Blacks hitherto
living together without any formal tic
are increasing; and the tendency from
bad to better is very general. Very
little beside food, and none too much
of that will be grown this year at the
South but next year will see the con
dition of those States bravely altered
Meantime, farming-lands, forests, mines
and water-power, &C., are for sale dos
cheap throughout the South, and those
in want of either, may buy them this
year as never again.-N y Tribune.

The TnrNG YIELDED.-The Tribune
ends long article ppon--"What shall
be done with the negro?" thus:
"There is just one thing necessary at

recognition of the fact that slavery has

people are free. We believe this rec
ognition is being generally and hearth

In rebellion, and we will do all in our
power to encourage them in this course.
Only clear away the wreck Of slavery,

coddling devices, and let the negroes
take care of themselves"
