chance in the race OF life, and let merit be re-
warded without regard to color" In Tonnes
see, as reorganized, the elective franchise is
: lett to the discretion of the Legislature, which
is the proper way to settle it. But TO clinch
. the nail on the abolition of slavery, Mr. John
! son advocates the amendment of the federal
constitution still pending before the States for
/ it's three-fourths vote.
Lastly, touching our foreign affairs, Mr.. John
son, at this Nashville meeting, spoke with his
usual trankness. He said that che was in favor
of the Monroe doctrine throughout, and he pre-
dicted that the day was not far distant when,
with this rebellion crushed, we shall say to
! in Mexico" If the Emperor of the French,
therefore has not been informed Of President
Johnson's position upon this subject, let him be
assured that it means the enforcement, if neces-
sary, of the Monroe doctrine.
Such is the accepted and declared platform
upon which Andrew Johnson, Southern aboli-
tion war democrat, from the ranks of the
people, has reached the Presidency. Radical
as he is against monarchies, aristocracies, trail
tors, treason and slavery, he is still conserva-
tive in regard to the reorganization of the
rebellious States. The leading rebels Of the
South, especially Of the slaveholding aristoc-
racy, will be held to stern account; but the
masses Of the Southern people, recognizing in
Andrew Johnson one of themselves, will gladly
return to the blessings of the Union under his
administration. Thus we may reasonably
expect that, with the regular meeting of Con-
gress in December, there will be a full delega-
State; and that, as a national democrat of the
old Jacksonian school, President johnson, the
master now, will be the recognized master Of
the situation.

CoLDs.-When man begins to cough
as the result of common cold, it is the ct.
fort Of nature herself attempting the cures
which she will effect in her own time and
more effectually than any man can do, if
she is let alone and her instincts cherish

1t has been reported, not reliably, we
think, that Gen. Lee is to be indicted and
tried for treason. We cannot believe the
report, because such an action against
General Lee, by the United States au-
thority would be in utter violation OF the
articles of surrender which he, as com
mander of the rebel army of Virginia,
accepted from General Grant. The faith
of the nation was pledged by those arti,
cles, and they amply protect him and all
who observe them from any such disturb
ance by our authorities, either civil or
military. The following articles of the
surrender is very clear:
"Each officer and man will be allowed
to return to their homes, not to be dis
turbed by United States authority SO long
as they observe their parole and tho laws
in force where they reside"
We trust that the authorities of the
United States will scrupulously uphold
every article of the agreement between
Grant and Lee A violation of them

is It to rest the wearied heart and mind

couneenance of one who has often treated
our sorrows with compassion, returned
lonsfferiug to cur tryingness, and

No. Book LIKE TIE BIBLE-We find
upon every attempt to make ourselves ac:
quainted with the contents of the Bible, a.
deeper and deeper impression that it is
wholly different from all other books. If
we pursue any portion OF it in connection
with any portion of any other book, we
we are struck with something about it,
though we may not be exactly aware OF
what it is, which places it SO entirely by
itself that no part of it can be incorporat-
ed with it, without our being able instant.
ly to perceive the vast difference. The.
more we enlarge the compass of this inn
preston and endeavor to, take in the
whole spirit which pervades the Bible, the
more fixed becomes our conviction that
this is immeasurably different from any
thing else.

COLONEL MosBY-Some little stir was


created in the city yesterday by the re,
port that Colonel Mosby, the celebrated
partisan chieftain, was1n Lyncburg. Va
rious rnmors were afoa5 as to the cause
of his appearance, but the following are,
we believe; the facts of the case Some
DAYS since Colonel Mosbys brother came
to Captain Swanl, Provost Marshal OF
this city. TO enquire if Mosby would be
paroled on coming in and surrendering to.
the authorities. Captain Swank replied
that he would make Inquiries upon the
subject and give him an answer in q few
days. Day before yesterday, he again
called to see the Marshall upon the sub
iect, and was told that Colonel Mosby
would be parolcl if hc-would come in and
give himself up, In accordance with this
information, Mosby came into Lynch
burg yesterday and applied at the Pro
vost. Marshal,s Office ior q parole. Cap
tain Gurnett happened to be attending to
the duties of the office at the time, and.
not being aware of the arrangement sent
to Colonel Duncan for instructions. lie
was Immediately ordered not to parole
Colonel Mosby until further orders from
Colonel Duncan. In the meantime, dis
patch was received from Richmond, and
Mosby was ordered to leave town imme=
diately, while the provost guard were in
structed to see that lie did SO without mo-
lestation or hindrance. s1'he dispatch is
generally supposed to have been an order
for his arrest. probably under misappre-
hension of the facts, and as he had come
here under an implied safeguard from the
military authorities, they felt bound in
honor not to take advantage OF the act.

VISIT TO FORT DELAWARE.

Ascending a pair of stairs to the second
sstorgof the fort. we were ushered into a
small, plainly furnished room, and found
there, Sitting at a table, Colonel Lubbock,
of jeff. Daviss staff. Colonel Lubbock
was captured with Jeff. and soon after
wards was incarcerated in Fort Delaware.
He was. prior to 1868, Governorof Texas
bnt was called to Richmond by the arch
traitor, and placed on his staff: lie ae='
comnanied Davis on his fight from Rich
mond. and was his constant companion
until capture.
IT. strictly prohibited to have any IN
terconrse ry % With State, or in fact any other
prisoners at the fort; but as the com
n,andant kindly permitted the writer to
go where he. pleased, he strained a point
q and said what he pleased to the extent
of q few hurried words with Colonel Lub-
book: He stated that he had not been
permitted to see q newspaper since his
capture; but from what he had heard he
thought some erroneous statements had
been published regarding the capture OF
Jeff. Davis. He (Davis) did not proper
lv belong to the train in which his wife
and family were. lie was travelling with
an entirely different escort; but it was re-
ported to him that party Of Jay Hawk
ers were about making an attack ON and
robbine his wife's train, and he hurried
over, in company with Colonel Lubbock
and others, to protect them if necessary
and arrived just in time to be gobtled up
by theblue Jackets.
Colonel Lubbock is permitted to take
walk for half an hour each morning on
the parapet of the, fort attended by a
guard. On these occasions he dons arebel
coloners coat,:with three stars on the col
lar. q well-worn pair of buckskin gloves
and military cap, and thus attired slowly
parades the parapet during the allotted
time. He is apparently about fifty years
of age, bald headed, has a grey bealrd and
5nustach, and short and thick set in figure;
He is evidentlya man'of education, and
very courteous and gentle in his mar
ners.
An adjoining room is occupied by Lieu
tenant Colonel J. NJ. Johnson, Thirty
second Mississippi, who was wounded
November 30th, 1864, at Franklin, Mid
die Tennessee. Colonel johnson is son
of the rebel General Albert Sydney John
son, and resided, before the war, in Car.
roll county, Mississippi. He is a tall
commanding looking man, with large
gray eyes and military mien. While en-
towing his morning walk on the rlmparts

HIS ErcelIency Governor Smith:
| Complaint is made tome, by Vermont. III,
the assignment of her quata for the Draft .,
the impending call is intrinsicallv uni,st
and also In bad faith to the Government,
promise to fairly allow credits for men nre
viously furnished. Toillustrate, a supposeo
case is stated, as follows:
Vermont and New Hampshire must be.
tween them, furnish 5000 men. on the mend.
ing call, and, being equals, each must fnrn.
lSh as many men as the other in the long run.
but the Government finds that, on former
calls, Vermont furnished a surplus of 500
and New Hampshire surplus of I.5eO-
these two surplusses, making 1000, are ad-
ded to the 5000, making 5000 to be fIrn-
lshed by the two States, or 1000 each, less by
taIr credits. Then subtract Vermont's surplus
OF 800 from her 1000, leaves $500 as her
quota on the pending call; and likewise
subtract New Hampshire's surplus of 500
from her 1000, leaves $500 as her quota on
the pending call. These $500 and 9. 500
make precisely the 5000 which the supposed
case requires from the two States; and it is
Just, equal, for Vermont to furnish l 900 more
noO than New Hampshire. because New
Hampshire has heretofore furnished I.OOOI
more than Vermont which equalizes the bur-
thens of the two in the long run. And this
result, so far from being bad faith to Vermont,
Is I. Indispensable to keeping good faith with
New Hampshire. By no other result can
the 6OOO men be obtained from the two States.
md at the same time, deal Justly and keep
alth with both; and we do but confuse our
selves in questioning the process by which
he right result was reached
The supposed case is perfect as an illus
ration. The pending call is not for 3OO,-
100 men subject TO fair credits, but is for
100000 remaining after all fair credits have
'een deducted and it is impossible to con-
EIDE what Vermont asks without coming out
hort of the 100000 men, or making other To-
alltlcs pay for the partiality shown her.
