HEADQUARTERS % DIVISION, l5rK
ARMY CORPS, RALlIoH, N. c., April %,
lS65.-To-day I visited an old lady, an
old resident of this city, who seemed to
enjoy the privilege Of furnishing me with
the early history Of our new President,
Andrew johnson.
Andrews father was her fathers hostler
at the time OF his birth, and the room &C.
cupied by his parents was over the kitchen.
The lady (Mrs. Stuart) declared that his
father and mother were honest and indus
trious. And" said she. becoming very
eloquent, "you know an honest man 10
the noblest work of God" She stated
that, on returning from 4 ball given BY
her neishbors in honor Of her marriage,
the seryantl met her at the door with the
news that Polly" (Andrsw's mothsr)
had q baby. She ran up stairs, placed
her hand upon the brow Of the newborn.
asserting the right to name it, and there
upon proclaimed it Andrew Mcdonald"
His father said no. not Mcdonald
"agreed," said she. and thus We have
simply " Andrew Johnson"
The next remarkable incident was his
escape, during apprenticeship, from Mr..
L~etchford. q tailor. who offered . reward
Of Ave cents for Andy's return to service.
The old lady expressed her pleasure at
his success in life, and desired mo TO re-
mind him of her. and also begged that ]
ask q favor Of him in her behalf, namely 4:
That he would relieve her grandson from

together from the Psalms appear to have

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

The telegraph has informed our readers
that General Sherman and the American
Minister, Mr.. Campbell. have at last sailed
for Mexico, and it is quite evident that
Macmillan will have to git up and git,'
to use . western phrase. The attitude Of
this Government toward Mexico, and the
condition Of Affairs in that country, isful!y
confirmed. The French Government have
asked for = delay Of the time for the with
drawsl OF the 6rst in%s,allment Of their
troops, until the lst Of January, with the
promise that il this time 10 granted, It will
waive the time allowed for the remova OF
ths remaining de,aehmsn.s, and remove
all substantially at one time. To this our
Government has not assentsd, but insists
that the withdrawal shall commence a.
once, and proceed as vigorously as posi-
BILE. Il 10 more than hoped that the whole
body Of French troops will leave Mexican
soil within two months.
In view Of the possibility Of disturbances
In the country, and the anarchy arising
from the numerous factions and cliques
that have for 90 long cursed the land, our
Government will be prepared TO protect
the recognized Republican Government Of
Juare., and establish it on a firm and de-
e!sive footing. In consideration OF these
services, the ces,ion Of Lower Cslifor-
mia and the northern portions Of the States
Of Sinaloa and chihuahua 10 made to the
United States. 1t 10 no part Of the agree
men, yet made that the United States is
to guarantee the claims Of France to Mex
leo, though such = course may yet appear
sIpsdient and proper; in which case the
Government Of this country will not hes
ita,s 70 take the responsibility. The main
poin. sought is to enforce the Monroe
doctrine by removing European Interven-
ton nom Mexican affairs, and securing to
that country q stable Republican form Of
Government. The responsibility Of this
undertaking has been fully discussed by
the Cabinet. and the decision has been
unanimously arrived at that the time has
come for the energetic action indicated in
the proceedings above foreshsdowed.
These proceedings have now taken defined
form and shape, and have entered so far
into prosecution as to be beyond recall.

authority, or ignore it. The frat a%ltsrns-
tive, with the present majority OF Con.
eress and the people against him, would
be as idle a. Canute's proposition to stop
the waves by seating himself a. their
sovereign on the beach. II persisted in,
il would work his own overthrow, per-
haps his anticipation OF Jefferson Davis
upon the gallows. II he should simply
ignore Congress, then we should have the
singular spectacle OF the Executive and
Legislative branches Of our Government
endsavoring to 60 on independently
Of each other. A termination like this,
we must ackuo wledge. seems now quite
possible. Nor would it necessarily harm
the country beyond remedy. Congress
would not be at all annoyed, for, as we
have seen, it would have no difficulty in
going on. and performing all its work Of
legislation without any recognition from
the President. The executive action Of
the Government could also 60 on during
the three months from December to March,
just a. If Congress were not in session.
This would make no longer interval than
is usual every other year between the SEES
sions Of Congress.
Surprising this state OF affairs, there
may not even be an impeachment OF the
President. Both parties may so on quiet.
" in their own spheres, waiting for the
natural issue Of events. What will this
be- The Fourth Of March, 1867, will soon
come. The Thirty ninth Congress, upon
u supposition, will peacefully dissolve,
and return to their homes and the Presi-
den, may congratulate himself, il he is so
disposed, upon remaining master OF the
field. But financial necessities will ooige
him soon to call together the Fortieth Con-
gress,-a Congress which. from present
appearances, will be decidedly stronger
against his policy than the present, and
which will doubtless be constituted like
its predecessor. What shall he then do
He cannot recognize this Congress, with
out condemniug his non-recogpition Of the
Thirty ninth; and, If he does not recognize
il, HE administration must soon come 70
an end for want Of means.
Such is the dilemma before the Presi-
dent, upon the supposition Of the utmost
patience and forbearance towards him per-
sonally, 1t is evident, however. that the
indulgence OF his misdemeanor in office
would not be carried to this length. What
then can he do How can he extricate
himself from the difficulties into which he
has brought himself by his wickednes'
and his folly. His best course, unquss-
tionably. 10 now to confess both, and to
endeavor during the rest Of his term to
make atonement for the sins and errors Of
tho past. This would seem q great hu.
initiation to so ambitious and proud q
spirit; but any other course threatens to
b still more humiliating.

PAYING OUR DBBrs.-Twenty-two mil.
lions and more Of surplus revenue raised
by taxation, and appropriated one month
after another to tho reduction Of the Ma
tional debt, 10 = terrible strain to put
upon the vitality and resources even OF
this great country. The present genera
ton Of taxpayers in the United States are
bearing chesrfully q load which is with
out precedent. Not q nation in Europe
could stand under it for . year-it would
be tantamount to confscation. England
would droop and her commerce die. Her
FORCES and factories would soon be si-
fenced, and her ships would lay idle in
her docks. We have borne It for some
time, and yet who can say that the limit
Of our strength or endurance has been
reachedi The country shows no signs OF
suffering any more pressure than what is
. working load In soms countries, and no
doubt our load il far within the line Of
breaking weight. More than enough has
been done. however, to prove the integ-
rity Of tho nation towards its creditors
and its ability to meet all its engagements,
and probably this year with its $3.50. 000,-
900 Of revenue will be the last Of heavy
taxation in time Of peace. We had close
upon 800, 0o0. 900 Of gold in the Treasury
on November lst, beside $1,000, 900 Of
currency ; and a. the telegram published
last week gives vi the round figures Of
the reduction in October at 1920 o 900,
by dsducting that sum from the statemen,

we are unable to say which party can re-

conclusively apparent that some nominees
on both the regular Union and lndepsnd-

su,peeted OF Coucupiscency

An unusual hutter was p~erceptlole in
our staid, eircumspect and virtuous COM
munity on Thursday last, growing out OF
q report that . young and tender maiden
not more than twelve or fourteen years Of
age, had eloped from . point about eight
miles above here with q libidinous old
reproba,e, q married man old enough to
be her father. On inquiry We ascertained
that this young girl, whose parents reside
in this place, had been sent to reside with
a family at Blue Bluff, a few weeks ago.
Owing to some misunderstanding occur
ring in the Blue Bluff family the early
part Of this week, q gentleman spoke to
Northup requesting q place in his family
for the girl, and was referred to Mrs
Northup who remarked that "~doubtless
he thought that he was doing the girl q
benefit but in fact MAS doing her an injury,
as Northup's animal passions were un-
governable, but she (Mrs. ny would do
the best she could for the girl" Northup
on Wednesday 10 represented TO have been
~lounging around the house improving
every opportunity to make advances to
the child, until his wife became outraged
a. his actions, and drove him from the
premises. She accused him before many
persons Of e%ndeavoring to degrade herself,
and said he had induced persons to ap-
proach her with that object in view. News
was brought to town of the condition Of
affairs, when Mr.. /. T. Coffin Immediately
repaired to Alta-where the couple were
stopping-snd by judicious advice induced
the girl TO return to her parents. We can
not find words sufficient to express our
condemnation Of the conduct Of Northup.
The girl 10 nothing more than a child, and
Of course, being young and inexperienced.
felt fattered at the attentions shown by
Northup. That his designs upon the child
were fendish we believe, or he would
never have induced the girl to remain from
home so long, when 80 near it. II the re-
ported statements Of his wife with the ru-
mors of his previous life in transactions Of
a similar character during his residence in
the Reese River country be true, then to
guard others from depreciation, we recon-
mend that the method usually adopted to
curb the passions Of other members Of
the brute creation be pursued in his case.
II 10 fortunate for this fellow that the
father Of the girl is at present from home,
otherwise he would illustrate the Scrip
tural maxim that punishment follows
