An action of trover was Immediately COM

Striking Personal Descriptions
OF President j LOhnsOISt.

The Hon. JoVS d. BALDWIN, member Of
Congress from Massachusetts,, writes this
description of ANDREW JOHNSON and his 22d
of February speeohi .,.-...,,
What the President said is before iho
country. How he said it my poor words
may fail to tell. For the Erst time stood
near and looked closely on the man. In
tho course of an eve, t.ul life, have seen
many men OF willlul power and force, but
never before have looked on one 30 thor
oughly embodying tho evil spirit Of revolu-
ton. He is terribly in earnest, and, withal,
most vndictively COOL
Thoroughbred demagogue, his incon.
soquontial logic, his egotsms, his repeti.
tions, his thorough belief in himself, and his
popularity, are all elements Of strength
when he faces such assemblages as were
arrOyod about him yesterday.
Andrew johnson is an able man-how
able | never realized till yesterday. All
results are involved III his poliov. Had he
Cabinet as able as desperate, the dire re-
suits which tho future would bring, could
hardly be named now. We stand on the
verge of fierce strife, to meet which the
country should gather it's strength and
grid it's loins. This man is no weak Blu.
chanan, and he means to crush Congress or
be crushed.
MIR. Johnson is man Of stalwart mould.
Just above tho middle stature, he is 80
broad-shoudersd firm set and deep chest.
ed. as almost TO seem below il. lie has
large head 1t is a compact homo for his
tery will aud brains. His face is marked
strong oval outline, powerful under,jaw /;
well-defncd, but ather sharp chin wide,
Straight mouth, iull, flexible lips skin
coarse in texture, but firm complexion
swarthy, hair coarse back, streaked with
grey; anose small at the root, bat full and
large at tho nostrils, which expands and
lifts as he speaks broad, roomy forehead,
beetling, bushy eyebrows, beneath whicl,
are pair of the coldest hazel eyes ever
saw in human head these are the out
lines of Andrew Johnson.

GREAT FIRE IN MAYTI.
Port au Prince Nearly Destroyed-On
Thousand Houses III Flames.
Correspondence of the New York Herald.l
PoRT AU PRINCE. March 90

Correspondence of the New York Herald
PORT AU PRINCE, March 20.
A very disastrous and destructive fire
broke ont in this city on tho 10Th inst, at
Z o'clock in the morning, and half of the
capital Of lIayti is in ashes. In no city in
the world could fire extend more rapidly
than here, where the houses, being built of
wood, rapidly become prey to the devour-
ing element. No engines have ever been
bought to cXtinguish fires, notwithstanding
the calamity of the 2Sth of February, 1865,
when very nearly haIf the city was burned
and great numbers of families were ruined.
The people, instead of hel ping TO stop the
progress of the fire, either ran about half
wild in the streets or tried TO rob and plum
der. The educated classes and the foreign
ers did their best TO save the city. Tho
Government ard the troops did nothing (;
but what could few men do when they
only had at their disposal few buckets
and but scanty supplies Of water2
The fire burned for thirty hours Tho
cause OF it is unknown, but it is a fact that
efforts were made by some to set on fire the
houses that had luckily escaped. Thirty
three blacks were completely burned down,
embracing about one thousand houses.
Eight or nine thousand people are now
without a home, many of them not being
able even to save clothes for themselves and
children There is great distress in conse-
quence.
The losses cannot yet lie ascertained, but
many people who were rich before this dis
aster are now penniless. Those who had
confidence in their fre-proof buildings
slowed them full of their own and the val
uables of their friends but several of these
buildings were burned down, the shutters,
their strength, having been
blown open by the intense heat. Thanks
are due to the crews of the American and
other vessels in the harbor They acted
with courage and the greatest activity, and
saved much property.
Port an Prince Port Republic), the capi.
tai OF the Empire of Hayti, is also it's prin-
cipal seaport, and residence Of the Empe-
ror Geffrard. 1t IL irregularly built and
Of wood. The only building
which has any claims TO architectural ex-
celence is the palace. There is, or was, a
church, an arsenal, mint, lyeeum, military
hospital and court house. 1t is the seat Of
the superior courts of Hayti.

FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.

The dew lay glitteTing on the grass.
A mist lay over the brook,
At the earliest beam of the golden sun
The swallow her nest forsook.
The snowy blooms of the hawthorne tree
Lay thickly the ground adorning,
The birds were singing in every bush
At five O'Clock in the morning.
Bessie, the milkmaid, merrily sang,
For the meadows were fresh and fair
The breeze Of the morning kissed her brow
And play'd with her nut-brown hair;
But oft she turn'd and lookd around,
As If the silence scorning-
Twas time for the mower to whst his scythe,
At five o'clock in the morning.
Over the meadows the mowers came,
And merry their voices rang,
Aud one Of them wended his way
To where the milkmaid sang.
And as he lingerd by her side,
Despite his comrades warning,
The old, old story was told again
AT fve O'Clock in the morning.

The EGect of sou,hern POLICY.

The new policy of Andrew Johnson is
having its effect in Maryland Union men
residing on the eastern shore of the State
are being sued in the local courts for SLAM
der. and for reporting to the military
authorities during the war, outrages com
mitted by the secessionists. These men
are tried by Copperhead Judges and juries,
thirsting for vengeance, without any chance
Of obtaining a fair trial. The Freedmen's
Bureau Bill having been defeated, leaves
the freed negroes 10 the operations of the
black code, and their children to be bound
out by Orphans Courts to their old masters
who then hire them for pay, sell their time
and labor. and thus treat the principle Of
the Constitution with contempt, and mako
a dead letter of its emancipation clause.
