the time were incxplicablc. Tho feat
of obtaining this information is unri-
vailed in tho annals of war, and gradu-
ally, as the facts como to light, it will
be found that Grant had every day
such particular information from the
rebel capitol that he knew what jeff
Davis was talking about each day in
the most private of his conversations
with his Cabinet and members of his

If President JOHNSON adopts
tho course indicated below, and by
''prompt, vigorous and decisive ac-
tion," shows his hand, We too will re-
gard the Convention success, for we
will consider it as tho spring of On.
couragcment and action to him.
McC.
The New York Nc,os, of Saturday,
says:
Lot tho President strike tho opposi.
ton when and where hc can. And
first, let him oust every radical office
holder that depends upon the Federal
patronage. Not a man of thom should
be retained in any Office over which
tho Executive authority has control.
That done, let him take measures to
protect tho Southern members of Con-
grcss in their soats at tho next session.
llc has declared that they have the
right to be there, and he should pro-
tect them in that right. Tho emcr-
gonoy calls for prompt, vigorous and
decisive action, and every blow dealt

self, to which allusion was made in
tho outset of this article. Now to ap-
ply this to his agency in establishing
what is now existing as tho Empire of
Mexico.
While wo arc not willing to accord
to Napoleon divine foresight, still he
has shown penetration of mind that
places him high in the scale of far
sighted craftsmanship, and he has owl
IDENTIFY seen his own designs and plans
from the beginning to the end with
singular sagacity. Has he done this
in placing Maximiliau. over the Mexi-
can Empire : Is Napoleon the pow
er behind tho throne in that Empire 7

Macmillan, has got OH this continent.
If England has possessions here why
not France 7 Tho deep plan in the
conception of such grasp on territory
here, III which he secured the co-opc-
ration of England and Spain, ushered
him into Moxico without any fear that
a protest would como from either of
those powers. Tho time was oppor-
tune. The United States, which he
did fear in peace, were thcn at war
among themselves. And Napoleon
knows we'll enough that there is
enough to engage this Government,
now, i'll managing it's own storm
tossed craft, to keep it from any deci-
sive interference with his plans in
Mexico. Hence his own terms are
accedcd to by the United States, as to
when he shall take his troops out of
that country. Napoleon knows that
elements are now at work here which
may cventuato in issues that he may
control. So that with the very undc-
cidcd status of affairs in the United
States, and the deep and perhaps sig
nilicant, signs Of u revolt in Ireland
which would distract England in his
favor, the slurs cast upon Maximilian
by the Northern press are premature,
for it is not at all probable, that the
power which holds him there dreams
of letting 60 its hold.

A Suggestion

Every District except two, VIC be-
liove, was represented in the Colum-
bia Convention the State was fully
represented in the Philadelphia Con-
yention these Conventions have as
sembled and adjourned. SO the pa
pers say.
Many persons, some of them men of
sense, think that the action of tho
Philadelphia Convention will do good.
But if the Radical papers can publish
extracts from q Southern paper hero
and there showing that the South re-
pudiatc tho action of that Convention,
no good can be done. It will be assum-
cd that these papers, although in fact
they may be exceptional cases repre-
sent not only their localities, bat their
States.
Can not papers keep silent, and cx-
crciso little prudence for their coun-
try's good ? Where District after
full and fair discussion has decided
upon line of policy, has an editor
the right to place the District in a
false position 1t will be assumed
that papers represent the sentiment OF
their Districts. We know that this is
not correct, yet such is always the as.
sumption
We know how powerful pride OF
opinion is and ut the same time We
know that it is possible for any man,
editor or not, to be mistaken.

The Life and Campa igns of General
(Stonewall Jackson, by Prof. R. i.
DabnGy, D. d. of Ya.

We are indebted to Mr.. JOHN
FRASER, Agent for the sale of the above
work, for copy of the Life and Cam
paigns of Stonowall jackson, and in
addition, for a lithograph likeness of
Jefferson Davis.
This is Southern work, by South
ern author, from Southern publishing
house, and its subject the greatest
Southern hero of the Lost Cause of tho
South. All this gives the work great
merit. But it has other merits. It
tho only edition authorized by the
widow of our lamcnted Jackson. The
author, distinguished divine of Vir-
ginia, was personal friend, and Chief
of Staff of the great soldier.
The Typography, tho plan, tho style,
the diction and tho truth, make the
work all that the most fastidious could
desire The argument on the cause of
tho war is the ablcst defence of the
justice of Southern effort for indepen-
dence we have ever mot. The work
is dedicated to "widows and orphans
"of the Southern soldiers who fell in
'tho cause for which jackson gave his
"life," and no filter monument can be
built to the almost sacred Justice of
that cause, and it is we'll worthy on
that account to become an ornament
and record for reference in every
Southern household.
AS nero literary work, the book
is entirely fascinating.
The descriptions of battles glow
with vivid reality that every old
Confederate soldier will enjoy.
We would urge everybody to secure
a copy of the Life and Campaigns of
jackson, with which will be given n
copy of the likeness of Hon. Jefferson
Davis. Call OH JOHN FRASER, Esq,
familiarly known among his friends
as JACK, who can be found at tho store
of THOMPSON, WRITER'S & Co., and
add to your library book of superior
morit.
The illustrations consist of what is
said to be very accurate likeness of
Jackson, and of diagrams of tho prin-
opal battle-felds in which our immor-
tai hero gained his laurels.

This is Candid.

We clip tho following from the
Phgnsr. If Perry, ORR, and SrEpm-
EMS can endorse both resolutions and
address, in full, why should any pa
pers, friends of the Convention, ignore
part and accept u part? We think
that in bad taste, under the circum-
stances. McC.
A correspondent ofthc New Yrok Times
telegraphs that paper as follows:
Late last night the nature Of the resolu
tions was we'll known to Tire insiders, and
big, good-na,urcd, energetic Browning, OF
Illinois, meeting Parsons, of Alabama, in
tho corridor, patted him affcotionatcl on
| the back, and aaid ''We must have q
unanimous vote of. hand for them to-mor.
| row."
"Why, certainly" answered Parsons
jthcrc is nothing in thcm anybody can OBJ
cct to-"
Gov Perry, of South Carolinn, moved tho
| adoption Of the address.
Gov. Orr, from the same rcgencrat ed and
discnthralled State, signifcd his hearty
acquiesccnce in both resolutions and adj
dress.
Alexander II. Stephens, of Georgia, lying
sick upon his bed, when informed of tho
purport ofboth, expressed his groat salts,
faction.
Other representative men-such rs Ran
dali Hunt, of Louisiana; Flournoy, of Vir.
ginia; Ycrger, Of Mississippi, and others :

"A SuggCSti0n,n

The insinuations of "Policy" are
wholly gratuitous. lie has been anti
cipated, ho might have seen, by our
last issue in which We said "with this
erpose we arc done ;"-that is We arc
done with objections. Besides we
have no controversy with those we OPP
pose in opinion, and mean to have none.
The whole matter resolves itself sim
ply into this. We told our opponents
they would be disappointed. Many
have confessed it. We simply gave
their confessions. So "Policy" need
not shake his disappointed head at us
and say we did it. If pride of opin-
ion keeps him "of the same opin-
ion STILL" he must beware not to
throw stones. We have done lust
what his allies havo donc-endorsed
the good, ignored the bad. Can can
dor, can justice, can any man with a
particle of libcrality in his soul OBJ
jcct to that? NIcC.
