4 THE PRESIDENTS IsTENr1oNs.-The following
statement, we have reason to believe, is perfectly
reliable so UNA ..-- ,ss.zEI E; dI-al p :
% President Johnson has written letter TO a
friend, at oneof the interior towns of West Ten
nessee in which he declares that he is only wait
ing for Texas to do as the other Southern States
have dpne+-abolish slavery declare secession null
and void, ETC., In order to issue his proclamation
declaring general amnesty, and that the lately
rebellious States, having complied with all the re-
quirements of the government, have resumed all
the relations to completely restored union, and
are entitled to equal rights with all the other
that the most ardent lovers of peace and union
could desire all that has been SO long promised
and expected. 1tisto end the war otficially--re-
store the hdbedS corpus everywhere and admit
the Southern members to Congress, subject only
to the constitutional right of that body to ex-
anime and decide upon the credentials and quail
geations of each individual member.
- In the letter referred to- the President reiter-
ates his determination to take no step backward in
the course of policy he has marked out, and de-
clares his fixed unalterable resolve to restore the
their legitimate consequences and conclusions the
positions he has assumed. He intends firmly to
see that all the States have that represention in
Congress to which the Constitution entities them:
and to recognize majority of the representatives
of all the States as the Congress-
In the same letter, it is said that the President
announces policy he intends to pursue in regard
to Tennessee, which, while we deem it proper for
the present to Withhold, we may assure our read
efs will at once lift State up out of the mire OF
oppression from an irrepressible ogarchy, and
place it by the side of the other States Oh the
platform of equal rights.

Inc lrshman's flea was no circumstance to this
great Mexican flea oortina, who is nearly always
ileeing, and has fought seventeen fights and been
whipped and run seventeen times. Those who
really want MIN, can never get a thumb upon him.
He has several times placed his head in the beak
q the American eagle; but the general inpres.
sion Is, that if the beak had felt like giving bite
the Cortna head would not have sheen there. The
Imperialists sympathise with Canales so far as To
hope that he will catoir Cortina and put An efd ID
theseemingly charmed life he has led 50 long. a7
K Canales, / may state, is more respected and con.
sequently more feared by the Imperalists than any
Of the other Liberal leaders on this border. He
observes some Of the rules of civilized warfare,
and when he makes an offensive movement, it Il
sure to be seriously felt. But upon occasion, ii
need be, he can shoot and kill as cody as his enc
my Cortina. His disposition was somewhat illus
trated by the incident which first brought him
upon the stage of public notoriety. About the
time he reached the age of manhood, his father
Old Gen. Candles, was living with a handsome
young mistress. For reasons of his own, never
explained, the youth one morning visited the
house in friendly way, during the old mans alb
senee, and asked the lady for a cup Of chocolate.

pistol, shot her through The heart, and fed.

CROQUET. - During these melancholy
autumn days, when business stagnates and
items are scarce, it is refreshing to dis
cover any signs of vitality about town. The
old men, as in days of yore, are puzzling
their brains over cent. per cent; not, how
ever, we regret to say, with the same results
as formerly. The young men and boys
have gone crazy, absolutely and -undenia-
bly, crazy, over baseball" and We have
been on the "qui riue" to find out what
mania would attack the gentler sex. AT
last the disease has made its appearance,
and it seems likely to be epidemic and en-
demic. Croquet is all the rage among the
ladies and their bcauX! They are playing
it on Church Hill, on Shockoe Hill, and on
CANDLES Hill, and wherever yard fifty
feet by eighty, or even of smaller dimen-
sions, can be had. 1t seems that our south
ern girls will find in this healthful and in
nocent game the excitement which Yam
kee girls seek in skating. 1t can be played
by four or eight persons, and is admirably
suited for the entertainment of families or
schools.
All who wish to see the game can do SO
by calling at the book and stationery store
of Messrs. Starke s Ryland, 9l5 Main
street. All can learn it, as book of in
structons goes with the game. Most oi
the young men about town have baseball
on the brain; but as usual, we are to be
found on the ladies' side, and We say riut

THE EplscopAL CHURcH.-The Rev. MT
Kepler, of the Episcopal Church, will hold
divine service In the Mason's Lodge, nex'
Sunday morning, ct II o'clock, ana sga;n
at 81 O'Clock In the afternoon. IL u
earnestly desired that all communicates
of the church, and all friendly to the
establishment of the Episcopal Church In
this place, will attend, as the divine COM
mand Is laid upon all, "To work, while II
is called to-day; for the night cometh
when no man can work." The Episcops-
lians, 1t is true, are few In numbers; but
they must, with prayerful earnestness, 90
bravely to,work, feeling assured that their
Heavenly Father will, in his own good
time, bless their labors, and pour out his
Spirit abundantly upon them.
They have noble example before
them in the Methodist and Baptist
Churches, which they should strive to imi.
tate; to 90 forth as jealous laborers In
Zion's field to reap the harvest which is
whitening before them.
A slight sketch of the history Of the
church just here may not be uninteresting
Previous to the revolution, Manchester and
Chesterfield comprised the parish Of Sale
but after the close of the war the parish
lands were handed over to the poor fund
by the Government, and the Rev. Mr.
Robinson, having no longer beneace, be.
came the tutor Of John Randolph, o1
Roanoke.
The parish church, which has defed the
storms of time and is still standing, is
wooden building situated in the midst Of
thick forest about ten miles to the west o
Petersburg. 1t was for some years used
by the Presbyterian and Baptist churches
alternately, but since the war it has beer
entirely deserted.

THE THEATRE.-Last night Mr.. J. B.
Polk closed his engagement in this city in
Goldsmith's comedy of "She Stoops to
Conquer" and we regretted as the curtain
dropped that this talented young. actor
was not to appear on the Richmond boards
again for some time. His appearance as
NARROW last night was much better than
his first, and he did the character almost to
perfection. The scene between himself
and Miss Hardcastle was capital, and ere
ated much diversion. Miss Laura Wal
dron acted her part with much grace. An
drew Waldron was not suited to the cha
racter of Tony Lumpkin, though his efforts
were creditable. Rosene is young actor
of much promise, and always does well. --
The performance on the whole was very
good. In bidding adieu to Mr.. Polk, we
tender him our regrets that his engage
ment here was not as successful as he de-
served, and we assure him that when he
returns in better times we will give him
suitable welcome. ...g ~,

day of December, 1860, and the barque and
cargo were captured by the United States
off the capes of Virginia, July lst, 1861.
The case was brought up on an appeal
from the Circuit Court Of Richmond, Hon
John A. Meredith judge. Counsel for the
appellees, Judge Crnmp, Conway Robinson,
