Presidents Response.

WasaIsGfoS, June s.-sThe President
today genta message to the House in
reply % the resolution requesting infor-
nation as to whether any of the civil or
military employees of the Government
have assisted in the rendition of public
honors to the rebel living or dead. He
incloses communications from the heads
of the Departments, in substance as fol
lows 1.-THE Secretary of State says he
has no knowledge or information on the
subject of the resolution, The Attorney
General remarks that his department has
no knowledge of such disloyal demonstra;
ton on the part of any officer subject to
its jurisdiction, and he believes that none
such has taken place The Postmaster
General says he has no information upon
any branch of the inquiry so far as it
related to the officers and employees of
his department So far as | am advised,
none of them within the State of Geor-
gia or any other of the rebel States have
in any way countenanced or assisted in
the rendition of public honors to trait
ors, either living or dead, or concurred
in the obstruction or denial by the rebel
authorities of the privilege Of doing like
honors to loyalty at the graves of Union
soldiers who have persisted far from their
homes and kindred

Lauaas on tha Mississippi.

The New York Tribune has by acci-
dent found itself advocating good
thing. but like everything that emanates
from that sheet, there is a selfish motive
at The bottom of its reasoning. The
Tribune hopes Congress will not adjourn
until something is done to repair the
Southern levees, because Congress hav-
ing decided TO put duty of i've cents
per pound on raw cotton, must, II ohty
for the 2'reasu9yS sake, endeavor TO
stimulate and expand the cotton cul-
ture Had &, 1000, 900 been seasonably
expended on the leve,5, of the Mi sslsslppl,
Yazoo and Red rivers not less than dou-
BILE the amount would have been added
TO the revenue from this year product
of cotton alone, and the good thus effect
ed. would have endured and borne fruit
for years-much of it forever, Assum-
ing that the cotton tax will have to be
borne for FIVE years, $1,000, 900 expended
ON leyees this year, and $l,00O0O0 per
snnum for the next tonr-S9, OO0'oOO IN
all--would return to the Treasury not
less than $4,000, 600, beside adding I'M
mensely to the development and expan-
sion of our national wealth.
The Tribune is in favor of making
short cuts in the river from ST. Louis TO
lis mouths. and thinks the current
would be thus rendered far stronger and
swifter, so that twice us much water as
now would pass given point in an
hour" The water would make its way
from ST. Louis to the Gulf in a third of
the time now taken; the channel would
be worn deeper; and the necessity for
OVERLOOKING its banks would soon be
wholly obviated. For few years there
would be considerable caving in of banks
at certain points but soon these would
have been adjusted to the new condition
of the stream, and thenceforth crevasses
would be rare, and floods almost I'M

De Tocquevllle's Prophecy.

The great French writer, on Ameri-
can democracy, displayed wonderful sa-
gacity in perceiving the tendency of our
institutions. One extract from his work
will illustrate
If it be supposed that amongthe States
which are united by the Federal tie, there
are some which exclusively enjoy the
principal advantages of Union, or whose
prosperity depends on the duration of
that Union, it is unquestionable that
they will always be ready to support the
central government in enforcing the
obedience of others But the govern
ment would then be exerting force not
derived from itself, but from principle
contrary to its nature. States form con-
federations in order to derive equal ad-
vantages from their union; and, in the
case just alluded TO- the Federal govern
ment would derive its power from the
unequal distribution of those benefits
among the States.
If one or more of the Confederate
States have acquired preponderance
sufficiently great to enable it to take ex-
elusive possession of the central author
ity, il will consider the other States as
subject provinces, and it will cause its
own supremacy to be respected under the
borrowed name Of the sovereignty of the
Union Great things may then be done
in the name Of the Federal Government,
but in reality that government will have
ceased to exist In both of these cases
the power which acts in the name Of the
Confederation becomes stronger the
more it abandons the natural State and
the acknowledged principles OF the Con
federation

ON THE BRAIN.

The Dyersburg Gazette says: The
Rev. Mr.. JOHNSON, Of Mclemoresville,
Tenn, has recently preached several
sermons in that place, which have elici-
ted considerable comment from those
who heard him He predicted that the
millennium would dawn in 1872, that the
world was not to be destroyed by fire
only purifed--that when Christ made
his second appearance on earth he would
remain, and that the millennium would
continue for three hundred and sixty-hre
thousand years. As We did not hear the
Reverend Doctor, we do not enlarge on
his peculiar doctrine, for fear of doing
him injustice. But many of our people
seem to have millennium on the brain.

From WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, June 30.-In the House
yesterday debate arose on the amend
ment of Wilson, of Iowa, to strike out
the duties on linen, aud make it IS per
cent al calorem Mr.. Wilson said he
thought the manufacturers of the coun-
try were committing great error
in pressing a bill on the House which
proposed such an enormous increase
of duty, there was danger in such an
enormous increase, and the effect would
be such that succeeding Congress will
90 to another extreme. The great body
of the people in many sections OF the
country favor protection TO the manufac-
turing interests, but the legislation pro-
posed here in the passage of this bill
will drive them into the free trade line,
and he warned them that the storm would
come.
Stevens expressed regret at such AN
tiquated ideas, and said thatthe Western
people had determined that the raw ma
terial of that section should still supply
the workshops Of Europe, and taking
back European manufactures instead OF
building up home manufactures and home
markets, as he thought the sagaciOns
men Of the country ought TO do, and
said he hoped that the time had arrived
when all would agree to build up home
markets for home produce in all parts OF
the country, and not have the tributary
pauper labor of Europe. We had been
deluded long enough with the idea that
the production of home manufactures
was an injury 10 the consumers.
There was time in every country when
manufactures should spring up all over
il, and home products be consumed there,
and he was astonished that people should
adhere to the old notion that they should
send corn, etc, to England and purchase
goods instead Of manufacturing them at
home, aud in two or three years selling
at their own doors their agricultural pro
ducts at their present prices The
amendment was rejected.

in which a certain General retreated
from the rebs Says the account:
Up TO this time, Ben, the adiutant, had
done nothing remarkable. But on that
memorable Friday, Jan. 2, 1868, he did
signalize himself The regiment was
placed in an exposed position, across the
river, and when the hour of seyerest
trial came, and our forces we're falling
back, having in view the fact that his life
was precious, both TO himselfand friends,
Ben commenced hasty retreat Here
is one of the best instances on record OF
retreat in good order." BE had gone
but few rods, when be threw away a
splendid heavy overcoat which material
ly impeded his progress, and with re-
newed vigor sgain broke for the rear.
Soon finding his heavy cavalry boots a
burden, he sprang behind large tree
and shed them. and made the balance Of
the distance to the hospital-some two
miles-in his stockings.
