SENATOR SUMNER INsrRucrtyG PRESIDENT Johnson
correspondent of the New York World relates the
following incident
One day last week well known gentleman of this
city an old time personal acquaintance of the presi-
dent, made brief call Mr. Johnson as it has been
for years his wont to do. But few moments had
elapsed when servant entered and placed volumin-
GUS Geographic dispatch in the presidents hand He
found it to consist of several ooscap pages of manu-
script containing instructions to the president on all
those topics, such the abolition of slavery the
treedmens bureau, negro suffrage &c, &c. which
might be supposed likely to find more or less of place
in it, and which are the we'll known hobbies of the
genuine radical party The dispatch came from Mr.
senator Sumner, and in corner of i was written
sum Of nearly $4 the cost of the Dispatch which
Mr. johnson was left to pay. 1t will be considered
matter of wonder if the human nature Of Mr. John
son exhibited decided tokens of dspleasure and ndig-
nation at this evidence of Mr. Summers impudent aud
unmannerly interference with his personal and official
independence. Mr. johnson gave vent to his sense of
the ambitious bnsybody and negro-struck senator's
dIcatlon, in decidedly terse and characteristic way
II Mr.. Summers conduct may be taken average
sample of radical notions it must be inferred that the
free speech party have not left that privilege even
to president when preparing his annual message and
that nothing must move be said in this country that
is not dictated by their WILL and be subordinate
to their aggrandizement

LATEST WAR NEWS.
New YoRK, Feb. 6.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.
The Commercials Washington special
says: 1t is confdentially asserted that the
President will issue a proclamation set
ting forth the result Of the peace negotia-
tions, and calling upon the people to fill
up the ranks Of the armies and assist in
closing the war by overwhelming military
operations.
The Posts special says the new tax
BILL reported to the House this morning,
imposes an income tax Of ten per cent.
on llsmounts exceeding $4,000 per year;
crude petroleum, six cents per gallon; on
cigars, sixty cents per pound; manufac-
turing tobacco, forty cents. The present
rate Of tax on manufactured goods is in
creased twenty per cent. A section tax
ing all sales is reported, but its adoption
is not recommended. No tax is laid up
on State bank circulation.
WAsmNcToN, Feb. 0.
The National Lntelligencer of this
morning says it is now clear enough that
the war must 60 on with renewed energy.
There can be no excuse now for holding
back men or money TO the uttermost.
The rebel leaders insist upon a dismem-
berment of the government as sine qua
non to any negotiations. We almost
state BY authority when we say that the
rebel leaders who attended the recent con-
ference declared that civil war would fol-
low in the South were a proposition of
restoration submitted to the people. Now
this statement is either a wanton misrep-
resentstion, or it means that there is a
formidable Union sentiment in the South
ready to take up arms for the old flag,
for certainly we cannot suppose that these
men meant by such declaration that
they would be glad to hazard the propo-
sitioh for reunion il they were not fearful
that The uupopularity Of such movement
would lead TO revolt agains themselves.
The proposed tax on sales is oue-hall
per cent, and there is little prospect of its
adoption BY the House.
Measures will bc at once adopted by
Congress to strengthen tho government,
the armies and the finances, for a grand
summer campaign. $780,

Mr.. EDIroR: Several fine plum trees,
Of some Of my neighbors, have been de-
stroyed, within the last two years, by ker-
osenc, which got on their limbs and trunks
from vessels placed in the trees, for the
purpose Of saving the fruit from the cur
culio, Whilst the kerosene failed entire
lyto keep off the Cuculio, it proved IA
tai to the trees. Think il is high time
that some facts Of this kind we're publish
cd, to caution the public ngainst the use
of kerosene for this purpose, as it does 20
good, and endangers the life Of the tree.

ONE of the most important topics Of
of discussion yet introduced in our State
Legislature is that relating to County
Superintendents Of Schools. tits becom-
ing most visibly apparent to our educa,
tionists that our Primary Schools can be
benefited by no one means so much as
by the supervision Of well qualified, ear
nest County Superintendents. The cx-
pertinent, rs inaugurated in the, New
England States, New York and several
Of our Western States, has proved Of en-
inent advantage to public schools, by In
Producing uniformity Of text books, uni
form methods of teaching and the en-
ployment Of none but worthy persons as
teachers. The bill now pending provides
for the election of such Superintendents
at the annual township meetings, whose
duty it shall be to examine teachers, take
the supervision of libraries, visit schools,
hold teachers Institutes, &c. Compensa-
ton is to be fixed by the Board of Su-
pervisors-not to be less than So 90, nor
moro than 81 90, per day, for time actu-
ally spent-$l 90 Of such compensation
TO be taken from the school fund Of each
district, the balance to be paid by the
county. We hope the bill will pass. The
bill has passed the House and ordered to
take immediate effect. w

Our village contemporary, OF yesterday,

"the feeling in his presence that The ac-

their proceedings. Touching that mat
Ter we first stated that there were too
many newspapers established in the coun-
ty, and for that reason the Board did not
allow full compensation to each for print
ing their proceedings. Mr.. Smith warm
ly contended that the action of the Board
was niggardly and contemplate, that
their motives were illiberal and unjust.
To which we said, "if so, the action was
contemptible." That's all, in substance.
We have never had the least objection to
the establishment, or the continued exist
ence, Of. the Union in this village. On
the contrary we have ever extended tc
