Our Foreign RslationL.

The Louisville Journal remarks that the
people Of the Uni;ed States want no war
with any foreign power. They have had
enough Of the calamities of war for the
present, and they now desire peace. Our
soldiers, as GgenerAl rule, want TO go home.
They want once more TO clasp their loved
ones to their hearts, and TO engage again in
the peaceful pursuits Of industry. There
may Be some restless spirits who have few
domestic ties, or who have become enamored
Of mar,i i glory that are ready for anything
that gratides them in this respect. Such
will doubtless End their way 70 Mexico. But
the great mass Of our citizen soldiers, We
repeat, want 10 return TO their homes. Not
outstanding all this, however, it must be
evident to every foreign power that our
Government is in a condition to exact JUS
tice aud fair dealing-We trust it will never
require more-from any or every nation, anil
no nation can expect it 10 ask for or &C
cept anything less.
Our power has been sufficiently demon
strated, and there is no need Of buster TO
cause il - be respected. The hour Of vic
tory and when our strength has become
known, is the hour for calmneSs, of that
moderation which is indicative Of PoWe-.

whose duty it was, under the law, to appoint
other officers drawing salaries. After his
appointments were confirmed by the Senate,
he had an interview with the appointees,
and requested them-rather ordered them
TO appoint a political friend of his from Lin
coin county, the great whisky-Democrat
section. His appointees proved to be men
OF nerve, and, as they were responsible I'M
der the law for the appointment, refused to
appoint his friend.
Johnson became exceedingly violent,
cursed Davidson county, where Nashville is
situated, and, like good Queen Bess, who
wrote to the Bishop of Ely: "Proud pre-
late, ! understand you are backward in COM
plying with your agreement; but / would
have you know that /, who made you what
you are, can unmake you; and If you do not
forthwith fulfil your engagement, by God
will Immediately unfrock you. Yours, as
you demean YOURSELF" so johnson, next
day, had the Senate to reconsider their APP
proval, and then withdrew the names of the
former appointed, and appointed others who
did his bidding.

IL "hated, but could not do without him.
In his second canvass for the Office of Gov
ernor, he trampled upon the platform Of the
party that nominated him, raised his own
issues for debate, which we're not supporte d
by a single leading Democratic paper in the
State, yet all the party journals advocated
his election.
This was Andrew Johnson before the
war. That he may win the confidence, es-
TEEN and love of waiting people, as did
his predecessor, is the wish of every lover
of his country.

its laws throughout the boundaries of this
State, leaving its inhabitants at the entire
mercy of those who pretended to exercise
a rightful jurisdiction therein, thus with
holding its protection, and measurably re-
leasing the people thereof from the allie
glance Justly due the same, and enabling the
traitors who were in temporary command to
coerce into their support many honest and
Well-meaning persons, and compelling all
either to fOrsGke their homes or TO remain
in a state of quiet submission until q more
favorable state Of affairs should arise;
And whereas, the day has now come
when, from the operation OF the armies Of
the United States, the military power under
the command of those in rebellion has been
so far crushed as TO remove the restraints 1t
imposed upon the action of the people OF
this State, it is, therefore,
Resolved, as the opinion of that portion
of the people constituting this meeting, that
the time has come when a proper regard
Tor our past suherings, our present state,
aud our future prospects require that, in
conjunction with our Loyal brethren through
out the State, we should adopt some mea-
sures looking to the restoration Of cur State
AM National Government.
RESOLVED, That with no desire TO avenge
the injuries We may have suffered, and with
an earnest wish TO heal the wounds inflicted
on our beloved State by the late unparal-
eled war, we desire that such = course may
be pursued by our. State and national au-
thori,ies as shall insure beace and tran
guilty to all, with as little suffering to any
as is consistent with a due regard TO the
principles Of justice and the future peace
aud welfare of our common country.
RESOLVED, That inasmuch as the institution
of slavery is opposed 10 those fundamental
principles Of republicanisn on which our
government is based, and was only tolerated
by its founders as an evil that would gradu-
ally vanish before the enlightened opinion Of
a civilized community, as all history hath
proven; and as il has been the remote, if not
the direct cause OF engendering that feeling
Of sectional strife in which the rebellion has
had its strongest support, the time has now
come, in our judgment, for its extinction
from amongst us by those safe, sure and le
Ultimate modes of action prescribed in the
organic law.
Resolved, That the Ordinance of Secces-
sion passed by the Convention held in Rich
mond, being in conflict with the Constitution
of the United States, is null and void, aud
all ordinances passed by said Convention
thereafter, and all Acts of Assembly passed
by what purported TO be the Legislature Of
Virginia, acting, a. we believe, under duress,
from that date, are not binding on the inhabi-
tants OF this State.
RESOLVED, That in selecting candidates for
office, preference should be given TO those
whose past conduct gives an assurance Of
their devotion to the Government as consti-
tuted and handed down to us by our fathers
inasmuch as he who has proven himself true
in the hour of trial, is more likely to stand
steadfast when difficulties surround the Gov
eminent, than he who has bowed before the
storm.

An HISTORICAL TREE.-The famous apple
tree under which Lieutenant General U. s.
Grant, commanding the United States forces,
and General X. 4. Lee, commanding the
Confederate forces, met and agreed upon
terms OF capitulation for the latter army,
has been cut down, hewn in pieces, and car
ried away, pieeemeal, by enthusiastic search
ers after souvenirs Of an event that is to
make an era in history. The last seen or
heard of the tree was when some soldiers,
from both armies, were digging down for the
possession of its roots. The relics are now
distributed over the country In twenty thou
sand different fragments, Whitfield into oil
manner of shapes, and the leaves and bios
SONS constitute priceless " markers" In
numberless albums. OF course, when the
souvenirs from the genuine tree are exhaust
ed, another apple tree can be cut down,
pulled up by the roots, and distributed as
portions of the identical tree in the refresh
ing shade OF which Generals Grant and Lee
| signed the little document that brought
peace to our country.
1t is worthy of mention, perhaps, that
the tree in question was sweet apple, not
sour apple tree, so often and so feelingly
alluded to in connection with the late Presi-
dent of the Confederate States. The late
tree deserves to take its place in history
with the willow tree of Pope, the cak Of
Dryden, and the no less celebrated charter
oak Of New England.

The FUEL MARKET is in a very unsettled
and unsatisfactory state, and has been ever
since things came under tho new dispense
ton. The difficulty is owing, in a great
measure, to the enormous and unnecessary
freight charges which the canal boat owners
have put upon wood. The freight charge
now upon wood is 1925 per cord. In Con.
federate times the charge was equivalent to
Is cents in Federal currency. The dealers
offer 10 cents, which is three times as much
as was formerly paid, taking the present
currency as basis OF calculation. They
are willing to pay one dollar for every TWEEN
ty miles of transportation, and it is well
known that very little wood comes to the
market from that distance.
The cost Of transportation, of course, ne
cessitates a corresponding increase in the
retailing price to consumers, and in the end
the latter, aud more numerous class, are
made to pay the difference. With the in
crease of canal transportation, so many Of
the boats having been destroyed, VIC hope to
see these differences of rates conciliated,
and the principle, ''live and let live" recog-
nized in all its length and breadth.

SNoBs.-This tribe of the genus homo is
recognized by the inevitable peg-top pants,
hat after the plan of the Capitol dome at
Washington, d. g., and elongated whiskers
of any hue that the wearer or his barber die
tates. This snob, Southern and Northern,
is to be encountered on the lines of travel
and OF the hote |, and is known by the sneer
he affects at the sight of everything rural,
plebeian or humble. Simplicity he despiscs,
and dishes that are not served in the sty lie
Of Delmonico's, Parkinson's and Taylor's
are only fit to be turned over to the servants.
His vernacular runs thus: "Ah, boy, take
this dish away, ah; what do You bring me
that forf Do you take me for a pig, ah f"-
In his cigar the snob is exceedingly particu-
lar. To offer him common cigar is to of.
fend his olfactories to an extent that recOve-
ry in a week is impossible. The genuine
Regalia and Principe are his boast, and he
dallies with them, revolving between his
pearly teeth, to the infinite delight of an
audience-composed of himself. Moreover,
the snob affects modesty and cleanliness,
when he is neither too modest nor clean
himself. He puts on the air of gentleman
that he may better counterfeit the perfect
model. OF all classes of men who wall, the
earth, save us from the snob.
