Mansion House.

We made flying visit to- alexandra few
days ago. Stopping at the Mansion House
kept by Messrs. Saunders & Maddux, we had
an opportunity of partaking of some of the
good things prepared by those accomplished
caterers. We regret that we have not room
to enumerate some Ofkhe fine dishes set before
us, but advise those who visit Alexandria to
stop at the Mansion House, and judge for
themselves.

Discussion i'm Mart1nsburg.

We learn that the various candidates for
Judgeship Senate, &C., addressed the people
Of Berkeley on Monday last. We understand
from those capable of Judging, that JoHN w.
KENNEDY, Esq, acquitted himself with much
ability He spoke for two hours.
The speech of Mr.. DowNEY, candidate for
the Senate, was courteous and manly, whilst
that of his opponent, Chapline, was the reverse.
He characterised Mr.. d. as copper head
phrase the negro heads" generally use,
when they fail in argument. We have heard
that Mr.. Downey retorted with much severity,
stating that whilst his sons were battling for
the flag, Mr.. Chapline-an able-bodied man
never flashed grain of powder, but skedad-
died" whenever a confederate made his appear
in his neighborhOOd This is in keeping with
such men as Mr.. c., who pirate loudest of their
loyalty-when seeking office-but who never
drew sword or bayonet in defence Of the " stars
and stripes"

. President Johnson,s Policy.

Many persons who witnessed the cavalier man
ner in which Senator johnson was treated in the
Senate by many of the leaders in the spring
Of 1861, and who remember that he was in
danger of personal violence on bis way home,
are agreeably surprised at the unselfsh man
ner in which he has acted as President The
London Times of the Goth September has the
following on the subject:
There is every reason to hope that peace
abroad as well as at home will be the leading
aim Of President Johnsons policy Few could
have expected that one who denounced rebel
lion 50 sternly would display such moderation
and humanity in the hour Of triumph, or that
so eager a partisan would prove capable of RI
sing so far above party influences. Perhaps
Mr.. johnson himself, like his predecessor, Mr..
Lincoln, hardly foresaw the mellowing effect
Of responsibility upon his earlier views, and
would freely admit that in his short experience
Of office he has both learnt aud forgotten much.
This power Of rapid seli-adaptatiOn is an emf
nenty American virtue, and it has infinitely
facilitated the work Of pacifcation in the South
The Southeners do not pretend to have altered
their private convictions, but they look facts
in the face and, finding the question Of slav-
cry settled once for all by force Of arms, they
make the best Of it and cheerfully rejoin the
Union. The same good sense and readiness to
let bygones be bygones have been shown by
the Northern people, and still more remarkably
bv the Government.

to greater or less extent to that of Messrs.
