by the wounds he received at the

professional than distinguished. In

Who are not fayorably impressed by
President johnson from having seen
him. The portraits ia the print-shops
indeed resemble him; bat photo
graphs are OF little value in giving
one an idea of persons he has not
seen. They are excellent aid TO the
memory in recalling the features of a
face or a landscape. as recollection
easily supplies what the photograph

The National Issue.

The President makes the reception o.
tho concurrent resolution Of Congress,
respecting the submissiou Of the pro
posed amendment to the Constitution to
tho Governors Of the several States, the
occasion of message to Congress, IN
which he shows very plainly that had Il
been submitted Cor his signature, hi
would have vetoed it.
lie makes three points why it shoule
not have been submitted for the action
Of the State Legislatures First, thai Il
yss not submitted for lis approval
Second, that there were eleven States
not represented in its passage. Third
that TIC people Of tho nation had MOI
been afforded en- opportunity Of express
ing their views on the important ques'
tons which tho amendment involves.
From this it is plain that there is an
issue now joined between tho President
and Congress, on tho subject CT recon
struc,;on, which il: Are those men who
have laborcd four years to destroy our
Government to be allowed nov to rule
it? The President takes the affirmative,
and there is no doubt, if his policy sue
cccds, but that jeff. Davis may yet live
to occupy his old place in the Senate
What Union man is there who does
not nor revolt at tho bare idea Of such
n consummation
l. is very evident that the President
hopes to SEQ a sufficient number of Dem
ocya.s elected to the State Legislatures
this fall to prevent tho ratification Of
this amendment; and this being effect
cd, he will expect to sec as many Demo
Gratis returned to the next Congress as
will enable it to ai,.it tho rebel States
Is they are now reconstructed, and to
repeal the test oath act, and then the
vcric,s perjurcd rebel will be permitted
to take his seat by the side Of Union
men in Congress.
Union men! are you prepared fol-
this? If not, then DO up and doing
Suffer rot yourselves to be lullcd into
the belief that there is no danger. The
willy foo is always on the alert; and
when VIC consider the vast amount Of pa
tronogO the President has at his disposal
wc arc almost ready to trcmble at the
contemplation oc the possible result.

LiccnSc---ChnrleSt0n Corporation.
The Mayor and Couuci! Of the
town Ct Charleston held meeting last
Monday night, and after discussing
the question somo time, determined to
grant license the ensuing year, to retail
ardent spirits. Different arguments
were offered in favor of this policy by
tho different members Of tho council
One held that the traffic would be carried
on clandestinely, if it should not be
sanctioned by license, and the corpora
ton would derive no revenue from that
source whereas if license be granted,
it will greatly relieve taxpayers, and no
more evil consequences will flow from
the traffic than would if license should
be withheld. Another argument was
advanced, which we never heard before
advanced n favor Ct this traffic, that if
the sulo was restricted to druggists, thoy
possessing monopoly Of tho business,
,hc price would DO enhanced to such an
cxtcut that none but tic uost wealthy
would DO ablo 10 procure this prime 20,
ccssity. 1t was con,cnded that it was
important that tho poor should DO able
to procure this elixir Of life as we'll as
the rich but in the same breath it was
argued that tho license should DO high,
20 os to restrict the sale to q very few
persons, in order to do away with the
numerous low doegerics around town.

Despite the hcsitancy caused by want
of decisive political notion thus far in

cial fluctuations which proceed from this
source, tho Southern States nrc doing

thereby giving promise Of moro energy

sows. The delay has been so considera'

We hail every indication tending to prove

1t is said that the capitalists Of Paris
have taken in hand the canal uniting
the james with the Knnawhn rivers. and
intend to push forward their work so
vigorously ,hat in five years there shall
be on unbroken wnter communication
with tho Ohio. thus increasing the fucili.
tics for shipping western produce, and,
it must DO confessed, establishing new
competition with tho Boston. and A.
bany, the New York and Eric and New

and Atlantic and Great Western, and tho
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads, us we'll
as with the several canals. At tho same
time o project is stirred to connect New.
port News with the Ohio river at Guy.
andottc, in connection with the roads
already built.
Here are projects, said to be so far
advanced that work will shortly begin
upon them, which indicate no small
amount Of energy and resource, and
which, while they promise a new era to
Virginia, in kind as we'll os in degree,
threaten to oppose some Of the subsist.
