Stanton and Sherman.

The Troy Times relates the following
anecdote OF the Rev. J. o. Fulton, who
deliyed the 4,h Of July Grafton at that
place., 1t is given on the su,hority OF an
Albany ediior, and has not been before in
print: ... .. ........''
At the second day OF the great review
in Washington, when the slalwart army of
the West. who lad "marched down to
the sea" With Sherman, were filing ,bro'
the streets at Washington, the climax Of
the scene centered at the stand of the
President, where all the civil and military
dignitaries Of the land were assembled to
witness the pageant. 1t is well known,
that as Sherman approached the Secre.a.
ry OF War, he refused the latter's prof.
fered hand. At this moment Mr.. Fulton
was standing short distance from the
spot, with clear space between him and
the stand. In voice, which. for clear.
ness. has few equals, he thus spoke:
"Edwin NJ. Stanton, savior of you,
country, organizer of victory, rise up and
receive the greetings Of your fellow.citi'
zens."
Mr.. Stanton turned pale, but arose
Presid't Johnson shook him by the hand
Sc did Grant. And then the crowd, like
ibe rushing of many waters gave cheer
upon cheer for the Secretary OF War.

Now this is all fine, and, coming from an
ox.Rebol, almost delightful. Such good
moral talk can certainly do no injury to
anybody, black or whito. But there Is one
fact which, to our mind, seriously dotracts
from its force, and that is, that this same
Gov. Holden, md all like him, arc pursuing
policy in regard to tho negro. calculated
to destroy every incentive to improvement.
1t sounds too much like the old plantation
sermonizing: "You know you have no rights
in this world; you do not oven own your.
selves; il is not to be expected that you will
understand when you are well used: but be
good niggors, and obey your masters here,
and, when you have received your last
fioggng on Garth, you will go to
heavon." ThoSo Southern whites, who
prido themselves upon their superiority to
tho negro, have evidently no. been sufli
ciently humbIod to understand their whole
duty yet. Gov. Holden has come to know
that providence has wilIed that the very
means adopted to render yourfthe negroes
servitude perpetual. should be His instru.
monts for releasing you [tbem] from bond
ago." and bo will yot learn that Providence
wills that in like manner their entire enfran.

Joe Johnston 8 Opini On of Davis.

- sosso. tOAu AssCutnOuu E9ybs
General Joseph e. Johnston, in letter
to friend in this city, remarked that the
Southern cause could not have failed with
anybody else but JEFF Davis as its leader
That opinion seems now to gain ground
very rapidly, and public sympathy with
him is Diminishing in proportion as this
fact is being realized. Colonel Nortbun
Davis, Commissary General and peculiar
protege, condemns without reserve the poI.
10y which he pursued. The Colonel saws
that 30 disgusted did he become with the
whole cause that he refused to speak to
him for nearly twelve months before the
evacuation of Richmond. He said that nj
the battle of Drury's Bluff, Davis who was
near the scene of battle, feared to order his
generals to change the plan of action
though he knew it was wrong. The Colo.
mel says, moreover, that for the last twelve
months. before the close of the war. Davis'
mind was very unsettled, so much so tba,
ne rarely issued an important order which
be did not afterwards countermand. Ha
changed bis opinions constantly. except in
regard to some generals who were obnox.
ious to him. His hostility to them and his
opinions of their inefioiency remained uni.
form ana unabated.

A Terrible Tornado

The village OF Viroqua, 10 Vernon County

"At four o'clock black clouds rolling

most Immediately could be seen coming
IRON the northeast a cloud of wind, rolling
at times close to the earth, dust, sticks, Sc.

peared another cloud of like nature coming
directly toward the village from the west.
The first curront was passing to the south.

two minutes its fury was spent at Vroaua,
and the southern portion of the place land

We ever witnessed before"
Over ono hundred persons we're badly in /.

more thought to be fatally injured. Twen.
ty.fvo houses wero demolished, and some of
them removed entirely from their founda

'The dwelling OF John Gardener, q large
two.story frame house, was whIrIed up in
the air. An oak tree standing near BY, six.
