A delegation from Missouri waited upon
President Johnson, yesterday, and explained
to him the course of the Radicals in that state,
and Ct the Governor, and asked protection
against their tyranny and oppression.
The President, in answer, said: Eve will

us here and think you will find the protec
ton OF the government, as lar rs compatible,
afforded to you. Gen. Hancock will be upon
the ground, and give you every possible assist.

Ex-Governor King remarked: eve should
like it if he could be put in the foreground. I"
To this the President replied: ''He is COM
mandant Of the department.
Col. Droadhcad then advanced and said -

take great pleasure in presenting the name OF

OF the heroine the London Spectator says:
'Armadalc'' gives US for its heroine a woman
fouler than the refuse Of the street, who has
lived to the ripe age of thirty five and through
the horrors of forgery, murder, theft, tigamy,
jail and attempted suicide, without amy trace
being left on her beauty. The plot turns on
this woman's attempt to murder boy whom
she first attempted to marry, and to pass her
SELF off as his widow By means Of her marriage
to another boy who is secretly his namesakc.-
And these attempts arc told frankly in diary,
which, but for its neutrality, would be simply
loathsomc, and which needs all the veneer OF

sparkle to disguise its actual meaning.

he said he had opposed at the start Mr..
Stevens thinks nations are punished by Provl-

is sent to us because the nation does not do
justice. \ year ago, the Republican leaders
thought Providence gave us Mr.. johnson as
President as token Of especial favor, and that
the mild policy of Mr.. Lincoln was to be de-
parted from. We are afraid the Republican
leaders cannot be recognized as authorized in
tcrprcters Of the Divine will.
Mr. Stevens also said: II say that am not

always engaged in some laudable enter
prise, either of a public or private CHAR
actcr, and not the least of which is one
now in course of successful completion,
in behalf of the suffering poor of the

more are busiIy engaged in promoting
the success of the great fair to be held
in that city for this praiscwortly object.
From the Baltimore papers of a recent
date, handed us By friend, we perceive
that their efforts arc being crowned with
success far beyond their most sanguiuc
expectations, and that the proceeds will
no doubt amount to some two hundred
and fifty to three hundred thousand dol
lars. This amount judicionsly distribu>
ted amongst the poor of the South will
60 far towards assuaging the poverty
stricken distress and ills of the many
thousands ofpoor we have in Our land.

Another Fire i'm Darling
= ton.

The Sumter WateAman of the present
week says:
Scarcely had the smouldering ruins
ceased to give forth heat, ere the flames
are again performing their work Of de-
struction- at Darlington, and the re-
naming portion of the square is con-
sumed. We learn that about fifteen
buildings were this time consumed, in
eluding the entire number Of mercan-
tile houses of the town.
The Fire was the result Of accident,
and was communicated through tho me-
dium of Liquorine burning fluid, which
accidentally caught fire. Our neighbor-
ing town is certainly most sorely afhict-
ed, and has our deepest sympathy.
