ANDREW JOHNSON

Is DOW the constitutional President of the
Republic His actions, his opinions, his
record, and his habits become now more
than ever matter of public interest
aud we are glad indeed that the concur,
rent testimony of those who know best,
leaves NO reason for apprehension as to
his general sobriety and blameless deport-
meut. Gen. Burnside, in a recent speech
in New York, referred to the mortifyiug
display at his Inauguration, and assured
his audience that they need cherish DO
fears as to his habits-that he is and ever
has been man of sobriety. and that pro,
tracted illness had necessitated the s.iW-
ulants which unnamed him in the Sen
ate. Senator Dooiittle, who served with
him 10 the Senate for a number of years,
made speech recently, and referred to
the widespread anxiety as to Mr.. John
sons habits now that he has become
President. Mr.. Doolittle is gentleman
of the purest character, and entitled to
the fullest credit Speaking of the new
President, he said:

OUR MARTYRS.

The cruel sounds of war the cries
Of souls that struggle unto death
And the dear Flag-our blessed Flag =
1t trembles with their dying breath
They stood for Truth-they fall for Right !;
Around their living brOws they twine
The flames of Death-a lurid crown
And perish with JOY divine
God called them on, they said no word,
But rose and took the hero's sword,
And, fronting wrong and danger there,
Sent their lives heavenward, for a prayer.
All how holy must thou be,
Liberty
To endure the chrism of their blood
Afar, home-eyes grow blind with tears,
Home-hearts are sick with longing love;
They knew it all, but could not turn,
While God was watching from above -
They were not traitors, to prove false
When Duty pointed to the feld
Their hearts had answered Freedoms call,
Their hands should never weakly yield |!
In lonely waste of swamp and plain,
Ended their long. cold march of pain;
In many q fatal trench, they rest
As still as on their mothers breast u
All how glorious must thou be,
Liberty
Crowned with martyr-souls, like these
By every Northern hearth is told
One story, with different name
How some brave man laid down his life
To save our dear old Flag from shame !;
How, though the glad years, singing, bring
The flowers Of Spring, the Summers glow,
There's sometiug lost, we shall not find
In all the years that come and go
And wistfully our sad eyes turn burn,
Toward where the Southern camp-fres
And, thinking cf our dead, we pray,
Dear Lord, haste on the trinmph-day p
All how worthy must thou be,
Liberty
Baptized in tears and holy blood

ley of Company A, cath Iowa Infant
~, who has been honorably discharg-
ed from service and was on his way
to his home in Mitchell county. The
Captain has been in many a hard
fought battle and has received wounds
almost without number. After the
Red River expedition, his regiment
was transferred to the Shenandoah
valley, where, under the indomitable
Phil. Sheridan, they performed prodi-
gies Of valor, and were kept constant
ly employed. Capt. Mckinley is Grip
pied for life and deserves well of his
government and country. He now
proposes spending some time in acqui-
ring an education which will enable
him to engage with success in some

From General Sherman.

A letter from Goldsboro, April 4th, says
Sherman had not yet moved. The army had,
however, been fully supplied with clothing and
provisions and was ready for any emergency.
An interview with Wade Hampton, under a
flag Of truce, had taken place, but for what
purpose was not known.
Johnstou's main force was about twelve
miles northwest of Goldsboro. There were no
indications, however, that he intended to make
. stand.

90 Still Harping." I"

Many of the Iowa editors and cor
respondents still continue to talk Of
the wonderful performance of Governor
Stone in freeing Iowa from the draft
Now mark how plain a tale shall put
them down" When Gov. Stone was
about to visit Washington, soon after
the Presidents last call for 100000
then, Adjutant General Baker reques-
ted him to see if the quota of Iowa
could not be reduced, at the same time
placing in his hands documentary evi-
dencc Of the number of men already
furnished, their terms of service, &c.
After reaching Washington, Governor
Stone telegraphed to Adjutant General
Baker that nothing could be done, and
proceeded on his journey to Savannah,
Ga. While matters stood in this way,
Hon. Hiram Price came home from
Washington, and Gen. Baker applied
to him to look after Iowa's quota when
he returned, at the same time placing
in his hands the necessary documents.
When Mr.. Price returned to Washing
ton, he requested one or two other Iowa
Congressman to accompany him to
Provost Marshal General Fry's Office.
On laying their business before him,
Gen. Fry promised an investigation,
and an answer on a certain day. Mr..
Price called at the time appointed, and
was told that probably no men would
be required of Iowa under that call.
About this time Gov. Stone returned
to Washington from Georgia, and,
learning the result, FASTENED home and
issued his famous proclamation that
Iowa was out of the draft +! To whom
does the credit belong? Will not any
candid and honest man answer: First.
to the soldiers second, to Gen. Ba-
ker third, to Hon. Hiram Price and
last and least of all to Gov. Stone ?
If any one doubts the truth of our
statement, let him call Adjutant Gen.
eral Baker to the stand and he can get
all the proof he may need. In this con-
nection, We beg to say that we make
no complaint against Gov. Stone. He
showed . commendable zeal in issuing
the proclamation, and we presume
would have "freed Iowa from the
draft if he could ; but why not allow
every man to enjoy his own thunder
