One thing is certain; no champion OF the
Southern Confederacy has ever yet seen Int to
state honestly, truthfuly, to the civilized world,
hoo and uhy the States composing that Confed-
eracy seeded from the Union, and set up for
themselves. Is not the fact most significant
We have "a Geography for Beginners. by
the Rev. H. j. Stewart" which proclaAns itself
one of palmetto Series" and bears the i'm
print of -. w. Randolph, Richmond Va,
1864" 1t was obviously printed in England:
but that is immaterial. What interests us in
il is its illusions to the great struggle which
has recently shaken the continent Here is the
most important Up. 2O0):
"In the year 1861, the Federal Government of these
States. elected by sectional minority of 100000 (ont
OF total vote Of 100000 attempted 10 subjuRate the
Southern States by military occupation. This occa-
stoned the final separation OF those States; ard the
rmatiOn of The Confederate States OF America as an
independent Government"
Let US see just how many palpable untruths
are crowded into these few lines of professedly
historical record:
l. 1t is not true that o Federal Government
was " elected in 1861, nor yet in 1860. Abra-
ldlH l4lHcOlu was CHOtcu lcSIucut III lCOV anu

Judicial as well as an Executive department;
and Of these the two former and more important
remained pro-Southern, Notwithstanding Mr..
Lincoln's election, and would probably have so
continued to this day. Secession was the cause
of Republican ascendency in either House Of
Congress and on the bench of the Supreme
Court and is thus most untruly presented az
its consequence.
II. The aggregate vote for President in
1860 was 1850, 1913, whereof Lincoln received
l 1866, 452, that being 49l ,295 more than were
cast for Douglas, who stood next on the poll.
1t would be hard indeed if the President fairly,

scatter aud thus neutralize their votes. Had it

From gentleman who arrived from CharieS
ton Yesterday, we learn that news was received
lust as the steamer was about leaving, OF tho
complete success Of an expedition recently sent
out by Gen. Gilmore, under Brig. Zen T.. ID
Potter. Gen. Potter started from Sumteryille fol
Manchester, and on the way destroyed all of the
connecting railroad bridges on the line between
Columbia and Florence. The expedition de-
sfrovcd 1000 bales Of cotton, Locomotives
and IS paSScnger-cars, and brought back witt
il .. 800 liberated slaves. From 5000 to 6,OO'
more of the same class were waiting to come
in. A. our informant had but moment tC
make notes of these particulars, it was impoF
sible TO get further details. The result Of thu
expedition, however, was considered satisfactory

DIR NEW PHEssDENT.

Andrew johnson grows stcadlly III puont
confidence and esteem. in spite OF the injustice
done to the country as well as to him in COM
pelling him to make off-hand responses to two
or three elaborate addresses per day, intended
to enlighten him as to his duties as well a.
with regard to the importance and influence OF
those who make him the target of their orations.
He was so recently indicted into his great trust
that he must bear these infections for the
moments; but We feel confident that his COM
plaisance is very nearly exhausted, 50 that he
will very soon ask his haranguers to give him a
chance to attend to his business by mnding
their own He is firm though courteous and
will not allow time that belongs to the public
TO be bored away much longer.
Mr. johnson has some rare qualifications for
the vast responsibility so suddenly thrust upon
him. In the first place. it will not be easy to
expose him to prejudice as Yankee lie Is
a Southerncr born and bred: he never lived in a
Free State till he made one free for himself; and
ii will be difficult to make the Poor Whites OF
the South believe him their natural, implacable
Zoe. 1t will be uphill work to difiuse belief
that he is keeping up the War on purpose to en-
|rieh Eastern manufacturers. Having always
been a Democrat, it will be a job to induce
any but Irishmen to oppose him in the interest
OF democracy" Since he has always voted
against Protective duties, it will be hard to In
duce general belief that he is fighting TO Sc

voted and acted as though Blacks had no rights
which Whites are bound to respect, It is no
1 light task to convince the public that he il
Z hired from the path Of peace by "nigger-wor'

of that shop. In short, he is in position L

But morc he knows the Rebellion egg anC

! their objects and their hopes lie knows how

that Rebellion and wherein it is safe 10 tenn
per Justice with Mercy. And when he-in q
Proclamation or otherwise-shall set forth the
extent to which he will grant amnesty, and
wherein he must insist that the law shall take
its course, there will be very general DISPOSE
ton to acquiescc in his conditions and limita-
tons in the firm belief that he knows what is
necessary in the premises and will be as rigor-
Gus a. he must, and no more 80.
Mr.. Johnson's response to the address oil the
British envoy is admirable alike in substance
and manner. and will be read with satisfaction
abroad. II the bores of all sorts will but give
him chance, we feel steadily growing conf
dence that his Administration will prove eih-
|cient, successful and popular.

II almost EFFORTS a SMILE even in the'c mclan'
choly days, to read in the synopsis Of Foreign
Intelligence paragraph like the following:
1.-The pirate Shenandoah was still Mt Melbourne.
Feb. ~ Capt. Woddel threatens to report 10 Rich
mond the conduct Of the Australian authorities In re-
iusing 10 furnish bis vessel with supplies"
There is intelligence already upon its way TO
Capt Waddcll which will materially affect hi,
intentions Of reporting to Richmond" and
which will hardly cause the Australian authori-
ties TO alter their resolution. The Confederate
steamer must change its name, for already there
is no Confederacy. Even the pretensc of a
pseudo nationality is no longer possible. With
out capital, without commanders, without Il
Congress, without even the forms and
modes and shows Of a Government, with
less status in tho family Of nations
than mud-walled village in the center Of
Africa, the unconfcdcrated Coniederacy, never
to be marked upon any map, never to be de-
scribed by any geographer, never to be men.
toned in any gazetteer, is as much in the cate
CORY Of unrecognzed political existences as Jul
piter or Gcorgium Sidus. If Capt. Waddell had
been a respectable naval commander one month
ago, he is just a pirate now, and nothing
better. There is not civilized port in the
world in which be will not find il difficult TO buy
an ounce of biscuit or morse of pork. En-
frances and clearances are for him impossible.
He may fly black flag as safely as his old ban
ner. His shadOwy Secretary of the Navy has
exhaled. The bloody farce is over, and his
|commission is about as valuable as last week s.
|play-bin. His ship is possession from which
he may well pray the good Lord to deliver him.
He has but two ways loft of saving his neck-
he must sink or he must Surrender the Shcnan-
doah.
This is a selfish world, and it has no mercy

for political failure. The so-callcd Confeder-
ate States might, if the fortunes OF war had
favored them have fought their way to consid-
Grafton and to liberation, though certainly not
to responsibility. Here, at home, we compre-
bend all the moral bearings of the question
which has been so emphatically decided, and 1t
gives purcr pleasure to our victory, because
we know it to be victory for the right; but
foreign nations will have done all which bitter
experience has taught us to expect OF them,
when they have admitted that, in purely ma
tcral contest We have shown ourselves inylnci-

shade the equity of our cause, but the success
which Providence has vouchsaied to US viii
have a very modifying effect upon our critics,
and secure for us at once good manners and fair
play. neither Of which, in the hour of our need,
have been superhuously accorded 70 us.
Nations which live only four years never cut
any considerable figure in history. But the
ConGederacy has graver matters to deal with In
the Judgment of the future than the mere
breyity of its existence. II might have had a
good cause. and it lad one which must be
noisomc in the nostrls OF an advancing world.

JEFF. Davis. Ansner.-We would do nothing
with him till we had caught him, and would
say nothing calculated to increase the difficulty
of catching him or that of putting down thu
Rebellion. If We had him fast, our treatment
of him would be governed, first, by the condi
tons of his surrender, if such there were; next
by careful determination of what was best fol
the country. But We fail to perceive the wis
