A VIsIr TO Gov. ALIENS GRAvE.-Some
four days ago. We took occasion 10 pay a
visit 10 the American CT metery, for tbe
express purpose of viewing tbe last rest

patriot warrior sleeps in the bosom OF

seeming neglect, we learned that nothing

cause it was understood here that the Iiv.

Many Northern clergyman are refusing
to pray for the President of the United
States. That refusal at the South a few
years since was called "disloyalty.n-
But it makes no difference. We doubt
if the prayers of such clergyman ever
get much higher than their mouths, or
have any influence whatever in courts
above.
We were once in company with a poor
clergyman of Baton Rouge who was i'm
prisoned by Beast F. Butler, Esq, for
praying for JEFF. Davis. Wonder if the
Beast would imprison a Northern minis
ter fer refusing to pray for Andrew John
son He might do SO if the poor fellow
had an extra fifty cent fractional cur
rency in his pocket.

JEFF. Davis, dated the I'd, and published

which . word from President johnson to

any leader who would have put his, own
reputation and the lives of his followers at
risk, If he had not believed that this Gov.
