President johnson.

recent visit to Washington afforded us an
opportunity of gaining some inside views Of
things not always seen and understood at a
distance. The result was thorough convie-
ton that the policy of President Johnson af-
fords the only hope of an early pacifcation Of
the country. e,must be saJtained by the
conservative element without reference to mi
nor matters. We wer eassured that he means
well towards the Southern people, and takes,
the position that their destiny is mainly in
their own hands, A cheerful and undoubted
loyalty on their part will strengthen his hands
and enable him to resist the tremendous pres
sure he has to withstand from those who coun-e
sci severe and vindictive measures towards the
South while, upon the other hand, a contra
ry course will take from him the power to aid
us. sG
The course of the President in rebuking the
false teachers who would "ruin the churches"
in the South, in compelling the Northern
Church to restore the Southern Methodist
Churches to their owners in New Orleans
Memphis, and elsewhere, and in requiring the
Freedmens' Bureau to relinquish lands belong
ing to men whom he had pardoned, shows that
he will not yield his own convictions of right
to the clamors of the unreasoning mob.

The Negro.

The Mobile 4Adeertiser makes the following
suggestions, which are worthy of being duly
considered 1t says: Let us all, in discuss
ing this momentous negro question, and in
attempting to discharge our solemn duties to
this people and to our own country, look at it
in the light of fact and history. Let us force
demoniacal politicians to cease to make these
poor people the sport of their ambition, the
food for powder, in their aggrandizing politi-
cal campaigns. The negro has been freed as
the result of one whole generation of political
strife, and four years of awful carnage. SO
be it Now let us all take care of him, and
help him on according to his real wants--aid
him to live by teaching him that labor and
existence are inseperable, and give him all the
privileges and franchises that are good for
him. But we solemnly protest in further
marring, the republican structure of this
white mans Government, in which thirty
millions of that race have their well-being
and happiness at stake, III order to confer i'm
aginary blessings upon three millions of ne
groes. The negro has been the idol of politi-
cal worship long enough. Let us close that
chapter and turn over new leaf, and while
doing our whole duty by this orphaned peo-
pie, let us pay some attention to the grand in
terests of the white race, in the restoration of
the republic to the purity and freedom in
which it has so much suffered in the late revo-
luton 1 ~,

A Snake Story.

The greatest snake story OF which virginia
has ever boosted, was related to us on Satur-
day last. In Buckingham county, few days
since while citizen was walking out IN the
neighborhood ,of Willis creek, he espled at
some distance large moving object, which at
first impressed him with the idea thatlt was
procession of cattle vending their way 10
neighboring meadow With the convection ne
continued on without giving the matter much
attention. till all at once the glaring eyes ana
kissing tonge of huge serpent startled MN
from his composure and transhxed MN tor
few seconds as if spell bound. Conclous OF his
fate if he remained long in this condition, ne
with great effort turned his back and ran In
the direction of a neighbors to communicate
what had occurred, looking back at every Jump
to see if he was pursued. After an hour or so
a half dozen Or more servantsa and whites armed
with pitchforks, guns, &c, returned CAUTIOUSLY
to the spot but failing to find the object OF
their search, the idea suggested that prooaoly
the monster had taken refuge in the creek
mccordingy they proceeded hither, when' 70
their arnazement, the story related assumed
FEASIBILITY, as upon the beach leading TO tne
river were long trails buried in the sand SINH
lar to the indentations that the largest size

pected that raid would be made upon HIM,
and therefore sought safety in the waters Of
Willis creek.
The length of this serpent Gf such it was
could not be less than seventy-fve or eighty
yards, as the party who saw it is positive that
that portion oft which he saw extended along
nine panels Of fence, and he is confident that
he did not get glimpse at more than half Of
his snakeship. Just think Of a serpent exceed
ing in length one of our squares on Main
street
Since the circulation of this story, the navi-
gators of Willis creek have become exceeding
ly uneasy and always keep sharp lookout
ahead. .aae
Our informant is a gentleman of high re-
/ spectability, who is Just from the county where
the serpent is reported to have been seen; but,
in Justice to him, we must state that he IS Gre
dulous about the truth oft. Ian 81.

The True Policy OF the south.


The Metropolitan Record hits the nail ex-
actly on the head in the following which we
extract from the leader in its issue of August
I'd. We commend it to the calm considera-
ton of our reader. If the Radicals rely on
policy to further their ends, let us show them
that we can make use of the same weapon.
If it becomes war of strategy, let the teach
ings Of Machiavelli guide our councils:
1.-THE Radicals are mastering all their
strength for the battle which is certain to
take place GA the question of the admission
of the Southern representatives in the APP
preaching session of Congress. No time is
therefore to be lost in organizing the forces Of
the opposition. Strategy must be resorted to,
as we have willy enemy to deal with. Let
us gather all the elements of opposition for the
conflict let there be no hair-splitting Or i'm
practicable theories What we want now is
success it is more important, it is imperative
that we do not fail The South must elect
men who are least Objectionable to the sensi-
lively loyal Of the North For our part we
hate expediency, but it is very good thing
at times, and should be resorted to in cases
like the present, Let lis succeed now with
what is called the moderate conservative men
of the South for candidates, and the future is
secure; let us be defeated through any folly on
our part, and it is impossible to foretell the
evils that may fall upon the South We do
not wish to look at the gloomy side of the
subject, but if the radicals succeed the South
will have to pass through a still more fearful
ordeal than that to which she has been and is
still subjected

Robberies ON a Steamboat.

On Friday morning last, when the passeS-
gers in the steamer Adelaide, Capt. Cannon,
bound from Baltimore to Norfolk, rose FROM
their births, several of them found that they
had been despoiled Of property during the
night. One gentleman lost his watch and
nearly one hundred dollars another had lost
in the neighborhood of two hundred dollars "a
third had lost about twenty five dollars while
a lady had lost her jewelry. 1t was soon as
certained that the thief or thieves had not at
feeted their object by going into the state
rooms, but by passing outside had reached into
the windows and drawn out pantaloons, vests,
coats, baskets &C., and after taking what they
wanted, had left the articles on the deck. LII
the meantime it was known that young lady
from Baltimore, had observed during the night
a person thrust his arm into the window Of
the room she occupied, and took hold OF her
dress, which was hanging on chair near the
window, but who withdrew the arm upon a
sharp question, "who's that?" The young
lady was also positive that the person was q
dark mulatto, the light shining directly into
his face, and that she could recognize him.
A general search of the boat took place in
Guiding persons of the passengers, but nothing
could be found. Finally, when nearing For
tress Monroe, colored man was found, a pas
senger, hidden away in the forecastle. Hewas
brought out, and with him carpet bag,
which, upon being opened, was found to con-
tain the lost plander. When the young lady
noticed above saw him she Immediately recog-
nized him as the person who had thrust his
arm into her window. He had a companion
with him, who was also arrested by the pro-
vost guard, on board, and upon the arrival Of
the boat at Old Point, they were handed over
Ii Il, L. ,Nn4 .lon -
that point Two of the parties robbed be-
longed to Hampton, in the immediate vicinity
Of Old Point, and it was deemed that their EVIL
dence, with that of the provost guard, would
be sufficient for their conviction. Capt Can
non, with Mr.. Classon, the purser, and the
other officers of the boat, Immediately upon the
announcement of the "raid" which had been
made, concerted the most active and prompt
measures for the discovery of the guilty parties,
and which. it will be seen, proved entirely sue
cessful.-S,m.

How TO Grow BEAUTIFUL Persons may
out-grow disease and become healthy by pro-
per attention to the laws of their physical
constitution. By moderate and daily exercise
men may become active and strong in limb
aud muscle. But to grow beautiful, how?
Age dims the lustre of the eye, and pales the
roses on beauty's cheek. while crows-feet, and
burrows. and wrinkles, and lost teeth, and grey
hairs, and bald head, and lettering limbs, and
limping, most sadly mar the human form di-
vine. But dim as the eye is, pallid aad sunken
as may be the face of beauty, and frail and
feeble that once strong, erect and manly body,
the immortal soul, just Hedging its wings for
its home in Heaven, may look out through
those faded windows as beautiful as the dew
drop of summers morning, as melting as the
tears that glisten in affections eye by growing
kindly, by cultivating sympathy with all hui
man kind, by cherishing forbearance toward
the fnllies and foibles of our race, and feeding
day by day on. that love to God and man
which lifts us from the brute and makes US
akin to angels.

THE TRUE PoLIoY.-The New York Id
0ertiser, referring to the condition of the
Southern people and the policy to be pursued
towards them, truthfully observes that "a
people, who struggled 50 long and suffered SO
much to achieve what they supposed to be
right, are not likely to prove treaeherous to
their vows and again raise the standard of re-
bellion. We believe they can be trusted, and
should receive encouragement from the Gov
eminent and the Northern people to lay hold
of and overcome the obstacles surrounding
Them Will not our authorities, dictated by
motives of policy and humanity, refrain from
confscation and other punishments, and ten
der to the Southern masses support and en-
couragement"
