The President for Retrenohnsllt.

President johnson is understood TO
have put his foot down firmly for res
trenchment and economy. The subject
of the reduction of the expenses, Of the
Government, and the duty of making an ,
earnest effort to get those expenses back,
as near to the old peace footing as, they
can be got under the changed circam-
stances Of the country, were brought to,
the attention Of the Cabinet in its delib-
erations within the first week after Presi-
dent Johnscn's accession to Office. We

From the Raleigh Progress, April Is. !
Then and Now.

For four years this country has beer
deluged in blood, a useless sacrifice upor
the altar Of unhallowed ambition. The
dark wing of war ovorshadowed the land
and we rushed under the cover of its
baleful shadow, and blindly followed the
originators Of our troubles to the verge
of the precipice of worse than Turkish
despotism Our property has been seized;
our personal rights and privileges wrested
from us taxes have been piled mountain
high upon us, and then Pelion placed up
on Ossa; our children and our sons have
been torn from us to bare their breasts to
the " leaden hail and iron RAIN" and, in
the sacred name Of Liberty, we have been
led, step BY step, to surrender almost the
last vestge Of liberty into the hands of
one who knew power only to abuse it,
and whose grasping ambition made him
reckless of the means in the prosecution
of his aims. From thrift and prosperity
we have been reduced to poverty; from
plenty to the brink of starvation; and
from happiness to abject misery. We had
never been sick, and knew not how to
appreciate health; we had never known
want or oppression, and knew not how to
appreciate plenty and freedom. We
plunged into war, and weeping and vail
ing have filed the land, and blood has
stained the earth.
And all for what? Not evon for an
abstraction. We can now realize The
fact that we were duped, as people, by
the wicked designs of bad men, who per-
verted the name of Freedom TO the at
tempted accomplishment of their own
base ends.
But the scene changes. The white
dove of peace is lowering over us. If we
entered upon the war with pleasure; we
bail the prospect of peace with rapture.
We sowed the wind and we have reaped
he whirlwind Would chat the past four
years could be blotted from the record of
lime Vain wish The dead can not
30 recalled-the past can not be undone. >
We can only look to the future and hope,
rusting in an all-wise and merciful God.
War stirred the bitter fountains of the
oul, but its sweet waters swell up at the
Welcome sound Of peace. Our recupera-
i've energies will astonish even ourselves,
md in few years We shall see the desc.
ate places blooming again. !

The Family of President johnson.

The new President of the United States,
Hon. Andrew johnson is in the fifty-sixth
year of his age. His family consisting at
present of his wife, two sons and two
are residing at Nashville, hav-
ing been driven from their homes in East
Tennessee: Charles Johnson, third son,
while acting as sturgeon in the army, was
thrown from his horse and killed about
two years ago. Judge Patterson, son.
in law of the President, also lives in
Nashville, and Colonel Stover, the other
son in-law, was killed on the 18th of
December last, whilst leading the 4th
Tennessee (oyal) Infantry in the battle in
front of that city between the forces of
Thomas and Hood. Mrs. johnson being
in delicate health, it is probable that Mrs.
stover will mainly do the honors Of the
Presidential mansion.

"ouiu say ue"tn is too easy puhlsu
ment. Loud cheers. My notion is
that treason must be made odious, tha
traitors must be punished and impover
ished, their social power broken, tina
they must be made to feel the penalty o.
their crime. You, my friends, have
traitors in your very midst, and treason
needs rebuke and punishment here as
we'll as elsewhere.
1t is not the men in the field who are
the greatest traitors. 1t is the men who
have encouraged them to imperil their
lives, while they themselves have remain
ed at home, expending their means and
exerting all their power to overthrow the
Government. Hence | say: tile latter to
intelligent Influential traitors. But to the
honest boy, the deluded man, who has
been deceived into the rebel ranks,
would extend leniency; l would say, re-
turn to your allegiance, renew your sup
port to the Government, and become a
good citizen; Jut tie leaders Iwould hang.
| hold, too, that wealthy traitors should
be made to remunerate those men who
have suffered as consequence of their
crime--Union men who have lost their
property, who have been driven from
their homes, beggars and wanderers
among strangers. 1t is we'll to talk about
these things here to-day, in addressing
the well~informed persons who compose
this audience. You can, to a very great
extent, aid in moulding public opinion,
and in giving it a proper direction. Let
us commence the work. We have put
down the traitors in arms. Let as putI
them DOM IN low, in public judgment, and
an tho morals Of tie aCorld."
AT the great public meeting held in
New York on the reception of the mourn
ful news of President Lincoln's death,
Hon. S. Fessenden said ...
"Let me assure you, that If these
rebels think they have gained by the
death of Lincoln, they are mistaken.
They have lost. A truer man never
lived than Andy Johnson. He will stand
by the Constitution. Within the last
week have heard him say that if he had
the power he would hang Jeff Davis and
Lee. God helping him, he will do it,
and the country will say amen"
At the same meeting General Butler
was present and said:

Every Nan ma own D.teoter.

An idea prevails that only q few
experienced money dealers and pro
fessIonal experts, are capable Of dis.
thguishipg counterfeit from genuine
money. Mr.. Laban Heath, of Boston
has issued a work called tCounterfeit
Detector at Sight,, which enables eOe
ry personto tell counterfeit from q
genuine bill at sight. The work il
highly recommended by Hunts Mer,
chants Magazine, by Mr.. Cary, man
ager of the American Bank Note
Company, by Russell, Foreign Money
Teller of the Suffolk Bank, Boston,
and by a number Of Cashiers, Tellers
and Bank officers.
The general principle Of detection
is that all parts of genuine noes are
engraved BY machinery, (with some ex-
ceptions, named while all parts Of
counterfeit notes are engraved By hand,
(with some exceptions, given).
Tho manner of detecting spurious
notes is simple and soon learned, Ev.
cry man and woman may acquire the
art, so that, with the aid of a Ions, it
will be impossible to be imp osed upon.
The regular counterfeit detecters can
only describe spurious bill after il
has been circulated and detected, but
this book, if generally read, would
make every man dete cter and pre-
vent the introduction Of counterfeit
notes.

Your dispatch has been received.
The people Of Georgia should not hes
itate one singlemomentin repudiating
every single dollar of debt created for
the purpose of aiding the rebellion
against the Government Of the United
States. 1t will not do to levy and col
lect taxes from a State and people that
were loyal and in the Union, to pay a
debt that was created to aid in taking
them out and subverting the Constitu-
ton of the United States.
l do not believe that the great mass
of people oftho State of Georgia. when
left uninfuenced will ever submit tothe
payment Of debt which was tho main
cause of bringing on them the past
and present suffering, the result of
the rebellion.
Those who invested their capital in
tho creation Of this debt, must meet
their fato, and take it as one of the
inevitable results of the rebellion, tho
it may seem bard to them. 1t should
at once bc madc known, at home and
abroad, that no debt contracted for
the purpaSa ofa dissolution of the I'm
ion, can, or ever will be paid, by taxes
levied on tho people for special pur-
poses. (Signed)
