n@.Vice President johnson was inaugural
ted the 4th inst and took the seat as presiding
officer over the Senate. We have no remarks
to offer in this connection, as to occurrences
referred to by cotemporary editors, unless it
be toexpress our sincere regret over the scene
which it is claimed was presented on the occa-
sion,. which heretofore on all similar occasions
was sorsatisfactory Having no personal ac-
quaintance with the gentleman in question, or
knowledge Of his habits or frailties, we forbear
allcomments, unless il be in common with 9th
ers who supported him, to express our sorrow
should the charge be well founded, or our sym
pathy in case they be untre. Should the i'm
propsiety ascribed to him be well founded and
have become habitual, Andrew Johnson is un-

nsy-It is claimed by eastern correspondents

B9y"It is claimed by eastern correspondents
that schemes have been concocted to capture
both the President of the United States and
General Sheridan, and to convey them to
Richmond, as was done in the case of Gener-
ais Crook and Kelly short time, since at
Cumberland, Md.
In the first case a crazy Secesh lover fresh
from the South, n drunken brawlcr on the av-
enue at Washington, was arrested by the au-
thorties after expressing regret over the fail
ure of a scheme said to have been matured for
the capture Of the President on the morning
his Inauguration. Monsieur Secesh was in
carcerated, since when nothing further in this
connection has been revealed. There are ma
ny, however, who attach no Importance to the
report AS to the reported capture ofthe Gen
eral, there is something more tangible and re-
liable. 1t is reported that several of the 'frst
families in the valley at Winchester, Va,
mingled with whom are numerous beautiful
and accomplished scccsh ladies--whose charms
it were hoped would prove potent auxilares
on the occasion-professed to have gotten up
a ball, the grandest of the season, for the occa.
sion of honoring Gen, Sheridan, who was
to be special guest on the occasion. In the
midst of the reves which were to be had, Mos
by's Guerrillas were Suddenly to be introduced,
the General and his officers captured and hast
encd tothe presence of jeff Davis. The plot,
however, by some means proved a failure
probably owing to the absence of the chief
guest who, about the time, had proceeded in
pursuit of Early and his army, which he sue
cceded in routing and mainly captured. The
hook by which they expected to effect the i'm
portant capture, was no doubt well baited
wiM Virginia beauties of tile first families,
but nevertheless proved failure. Better
thousand times, that if the head Of the brave
General should fall, that it fall at his post in
the field of battle, than in Delilahs lap
The ladies in question, ii is said, are paying
pcnance within the secesh lines

his age. He was born at Seville, in Spain, on

New York, March s.-The Herald S
correspondent of the 9TH, says: II is re-
ported that fot some weeks past, large num-
bers of negroes have been at work throwing
up Notifications along the banks of the Roa-
noke river. Several months since, many old
and experienced officers surmised that if Lee
was compelled to fall back from his present
position, he would form q new defensive line
along that stream.
The country is admirably adapted for the
purpose, and the river will add considerable
to the difficulties which an attacking column
would have to overcome. Siege guns from
Petersburg and Richmond have been sent of
in that direction via the Danville Railroad
and many things seem to indicate his army
will soon be en- route for the same place.
