Tkc Corning Message.

Tie usually well-informed cores
pondent of the Baltimore .Suu teIe
graphs to that paper:
All statements to the effect that the
President has announced his deter
mlnatlon to recommend the adoption
of the amendments to the Constitu-
tion proposed by Congress are utterly
unfounded. He has not said to any
one he was i'll favor of those amend
ments. 1t is true, nevertheless, that
the President has had under consi-
deration some of the political points
to be embraced in his next annual
message to Congress, and some of
these points have been submitted to
his Cabinet. There is good reason
for saying that Mr.. johnson will ad-
here strictly to the policy that has
characterized his administration.
Among other things, he will urge
that while the Constitution leaves it
an open question for the courts whe-
ther ordinary legislation is or is not
binding while States are refused rep
resentation, that instrument. is dis
tinct and emphatic in its requirement
that in the preparation of amend
ments to the Constitution, all the
States that claim and are willing To
exercise the right shall be repre-
sented.
The President will insist on the
immediate admission of loyal and
legally qualified representatives from
all the non-represented States, in
order that Congress may be enabled
to prepare such amendments as the
condition of the country demand. He
Will likewise recommend that when
Congress is In accordance with this
view of the requirements of the Con-
stitution, amendments may be pre-
pared adapting the questions of rep
resentation and taxation to meet the
changed condition of the country. 1t
is also understood that the President
will embody in his message, as a sug-
gestion to Congress, tie two PROPOSE
tions for amendment submitted last
winter in the reported conversation
with Senator Dixon. A corrected
and revised copy Of the propositions
for amendment is herewith sent as
follows:
Representatives shall be appor-
toned among the several States which
may be included within this Union
according to the number of qualified
male voters, as prescribed by each
State. Direct taxes shall be appor-
toned among the several States
which may be included within this
Union according to the value of all
property subject to taxation in each
State. This amendment not to take
effect until the census of 1870 shall
have been taken"

Raymond's TerSivcrsation..

The New York SIN is prophet.
Some days since, it uttered the fol-
lowing prediction concerning H. J.
Raymond's political course:
"AIr. Raymond, who is the present
Representative for the Sixth District,
is in doubt about what he had better
do. If the prospects of the conserv-
ative party were good in the country
generally, he would undoubtedly Us
the anti-radical candidate for re-elec-
tion in his district; but.he has lately
been admonished, through his paper,
that something must be done, and
his present programme is to get back
into his old party with all possible
despatch.
"The arrangement which he and
his friends have completed for effect
ing the transaction is this: He is to
Immediately bring his paper around
into the radical ranks, in considera-
tion of which the radicals are to give
him the nomination for Congress in
the Sixth District That nomination
is then to be declined, after which
the Times is to go in strongly for the
Fenton State ticket, and the transac-
ton of Mr.. Raymond will then have
been completed.
These predictions have been veri-
fied-his paper has gone over, he has
declined to run for Congress, and the
third feature of the programme will
doubtless be carried out. Aud all
this from the long-winde! mouth
piece of the Philadelphia Conserva-
tive Convention! Is there any homes
ty in New York politicians?

w hO Is He!

The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore .American--a radical
journal. by the way-writcs the fol-
lowing 10 that paper:
ga gentleman from South Carolina,
an original secessionist, who served
the so-called Confederate Govern
ment with distinguished ability, ar
rived in this city, yesterday, on his
way home, having spent some weeks
in travelling throughout the Northern
and Western States He says he tra-
veled with the object in view Of as
certaining for himself the love and
temper of the Northern people as re-
CARDS the South, and with special
reference to the prospect of Mr. John
sons policy being endorsed by the
people. From what he has seen and
heard, he believes the people, every
where, will 1epudiate Mr.. johnson $
policy at the polls, and he is now con-
vinced the best policy for the South
is to at once adopt the proposed
amendment to the Constitution, as
being the best terms they are likely
to have offered them. He leaves for
home the present week, and intends
to urge upon his people the necessity
of Immediate action upon this vital
question.
We can scarcely believe q word Of
this charge against South Carolina
gentleman, If it be so, we think this
gentleman is utterly ignorant of the
political tone and sentiment of his
fellow-citizens in this State. We do
nor believe that the people of South
Carolina, even for the boon (?) Of
having their few representatives ad-
mitted to Congress, will ever agree to
swallow this last radical pill. We
would like to hear his reasons for
urging upon "his people to stultify
themselves by further concessions to
the radicals.

Public HIecting.

COLUMBIA, October ), 1866
y meeting OF the friends of the National
Express and Transportation Company was
held this morning, at Gibbcs' Hall.
On motion of Mr.. w. H. Tallev, COL l..
ID. Chids was called to the chair who
stated the object of the meeting.
The President requested Thomas Il.
Gregg to acs as Secretary.
Mr.. James G. Gibbes offered the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whcseas it has become evident to the
public that the National Express and
transportation Company, of which Gen
Joseph +. johnson is President, has been
compelled to succumb to circumstances
beyond their control, and a period in its
affairs has arrived which requires that ali
true friends OF purely representative
Southern company shall be encouraged
and supported by the public; and
Whereas the course of the National Ex-
press ana Transportation Company. sine,
Its establishment, has been calculated to
benefit every community in which its
agencies exist, by creating healthy COM
petition and greatly reducing the price OF
Transportation over the principal railway
lines: and
Whereas We recognize the National Ex-
press and Transportation Company as part
of the enterprise of the South, and, as
public spirited citizens, will do what we
can to foster and promote it's interests;
and
Whorcas the citizens of Augusta, Charles
ton, and other cities i'll the South, have
held public meetings expressive of their
sympathy ia cooperation in the endeavors
to maintain the National Express and
Transportation Company until it shall be-
come Il firmly established success; there
fore, be it
Resolred, That it is the sense OF this
meeting that the people of South Carolina
cannot better express their appreciation
of Gen. Joseph E. Johnson, and the Com
pany of which he is President, than by
giving to him all the encouragement whjci,
is possible; and that we regard it as a mat
ter of pride that 4 Southern enterprise
intended to benefit the whole coiamupity'
should not be permitted. for the want OF
Southern patror age, to fail in its good
work.
ResoIrea, That the President of this
meeting be respectfully requested to for
ward these resolutions to the Directors of
the National Express and Transportation
Company. at their meeting to be held in
Richmond, Va, on the 9th instant.

A GERMAN PRESS ON THE SOUTH. -
The Westliche Post, u German paper
published at st. Louis, is convinced
''that the former rebel States, in case
OF a radical victory at the next cleo
tions, will submit for good to the
Congressional policy, and try by their
good behavior TO deserve again the
rights of representation in Congress.
They will see that the Northern De-
mocrats are only their false friends,
and act accordingly" If the West
Hche Post finds some comfort in the
evangelical hope that the South in
future will love her worst enemies,
and bless those who have cursed
them, we do not object. Better to-
day than tomorrow, if, after all, the
millennium is to come.

GENERAL SIcKLEs. The President
has appointed Gen. Sickles Colonel
of the Forty-Second Regiment Of
United States Infantry, one OF the
new regiments created by the army
bill, recently passed by Congress.
This is intended as an official recog-
milton of Gen. Sickles' services to bis
country. The General, according to
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, has intimated to
the War Department his acceptance
OF the appointment in the regular
army. He will soon be mustered out
of service on his volunteer rank, but
whether he will retain his present
command, under his new rank, is
doubtful.

THOSE ONO RIVER "GUER1LLAs. -
Considerable sensation was produced,
few days since, by the report, which
first originated in the Cincinnati pa
pers, that United States mail agent
was captured near Warsaw, on the
Ohio River, by band of rebel que
rillas. Although we thought the
story quite improbable at the time,
we published it as we found it in the
Louisville Courier 1t now turns out
that the mail agent, whose name is
DR.. Farris, had been indicted for
mnrder in the Ci~cuit Court of Gala
tin County, Ky, Ind that the party
of men who captured him was the
Sheriff of that County and hig posse
comitatuS. So much for the band Of
rebel guerillas, and their murderous
designs on the Doctor.

New ENGLAND MoNEY.-There is
unquestionable authority for stating
that the New England manufacturers
and bondholders have recently con
tributed very large sum of money
for carrying the Indiana election.
This they can very we'll afford to do.
II they can prevent their bonds from
being taxed, and keep up the present
high tariff, by which single manu-
facturing firm makes profit of $16,-
o09 day, they can very well afford
to pay large sums to carry Indiana
for the radical ticket. But what say
the people of this State to the ar
rangements? Are they willing to be
made hewers of wood and drawers of
water to the New England moneyed
aristocracy- their manufacturers and
bondholders?-N. 4. Ledger.

This sentence, politically speaking,
can be applied to Andrew Johnson,
with great propriety, at this time.
Undismayed by those indications of
radical strength which have already
disintegrated the loosely-built and
unreliable conservative party of the
North, and which have frightened
the New York Herald, Times and
Post from his support, the Richmond
Times says that he stands faithful
among the faithless, as firm and i'm
movable as the rock of Gibraltar.
The unfounded rumor, which we
noticed few days ago, that the re-
suit of the elections in Maine and
Vermont had induced him to aban-
don his policy, the Times says he has
given an ''emphatic denial He
also authorizes The statement that he
has in no way modified his policy, or
signifed his approval of the ''con-
stitutional amendment" adopted late
ly by Congress. He holds that amend
ment to be grossly violative of the
fifth article of the Constitution,
which says that ''no State shall be
deprived, without its consent, of its
equal suffrage in the Senate" and,
as eleven States We're vainly asking
for admission, at the time the amend
ment was passed, the President con-
tends the whole proceeding was in
validated
There can scarcely be any retro
grade movement-any step back
ward-taken by the President, no
matter if the party opposed to him,
through the coming elections, should
retain orincrease their present power.
He cannot, with any consistency,
abandon the constitutional ground
he so boldly occupies at present.
There is no inducement for him to do
SO, and we believe that he is honest
and sincere inhis convictions of duty,
and that he has the firmness, man
hood and fidelity to maintain them at
all hazards.

They Won't Admit Us.

We recently reproduced a para
graph from tie New York hsaepeu-
dent. declaring that the radicals would
not admit our Representatives into
Congress, even if we were to ratify the
constitutional amendment. That pa
per repeats its assertion in more en-
phatic language. Hear it:
eve know personally every promi-
nent member of Congress, and we
know that the leaders do not mean to
admit the unadmitted States on the
mere adoption of the amendment.
Moreover, we know personally the
leading radicals of the Republican
party outside of Congress, and we
know that they have no intention of
making the amendment the final mea-
sure of admission. To say, therefore.
as the national committee say, that
on condition of adopting the amend
ment as Tennessee adopted it, 'the
door stands invitingly open for the
ten other States, is to make pro-
mise to the ear to break it to the
hope
The Boston Commonwealth, a Sum
ner organ. says the same thing.

is fully attested by the enormous sale it has
reached of 100000 Volumes, and is now selling

All those who have acted as Agents for the
work and delivered the first volume, are invit-
ed to re-canvass the territory they have occu-
pied, and to canvass it more thoroughly-tor
by SO doing they will greatly increase the sale,
and consequently, enhance their profits.
. We have concluded to issue an edition of
both voIanaeS bound in one, which is now ready,
and seems to exactly meet the wants OF the
people. 1t is the opinion OF Agents now IN the
field, that the future sales of this work will be
confined exclusively to the ta1o 00lumes bound
IN one.
Other Histories have been before the public
for some enthusiastically a0ritte7a, before the re-
port of General q. S. Grant and other docu-
ments had been submitted to the Government,
and consequently are inaccurate and deficient
in much that constitutes the greatest value and
Importance of such works.
Mr.. Headley has delayed the completion OF
this, until those documents necessary to correct

superiority and help to render it by far the most
