been recently in consultation with the
President, (says the Tribune) urging him,
1t is understood, to come to some agree

reconstruction. The mere fact of consult

believe, indicates the falseness of those
rumors that Mr.. Johnson intended to act

ANTIETAM NATIONAL CEMERERY Thomas
A. Boult, Esq, secretary and treasurer of
the Antletam Cemetery Association, gives
the following information in relation there
to :
burial corps has been sent to the Gem
etery by the Government, with train of
wagons, &c. The men of this corps disin-
ter the bodies from the many trenches and
graves around the neighborhood of the bat
tle-feld, place them in coffins, and deliver
them to DR.. Biggs, superintendent of the
cemetery. DR.. Biggs has trenches excava-
ted IN the divisions of the cemetery set
apart from each State, and as the bodies
are received, they are inferred in their re-
spective trenches The cofins are number.
ed, and the number is set down in book,
opposite the name of the soldier, if known.
The collins are placed exactly eight inches
apart IN the trenches, and it can thus be as
certalned by measurement, when the trench
es are filled up, exactly where the body
bearing each name and number is inferred.
There are trenches excaVated for sixteen
States, and as the remains are brought up
they are taken to the trench to which they
belong. Thus bodies can be identified to a
certainty. Nothing now remains of most
of the bodies but the bones. In some cases
the fest has not decayed, but appears to
have dried. After all the bodies around
the battle field are appropriately inferred,
the burial corps will proceed to gather and
transport to the cemetery those lying at
different points in the county, Keedysville,
Boonsboro, Funkstown, Hagerstown, and
other places, together with those who fell at
South Mountain.
The masonry of the cemetery wall is com
pIete, including the foundation for the iron
fence on the turnpike front This fence
will be delivered and put up during the fall
and winter. The coping stones, of Keedys-
vile marble are about being placed on the
walls on the other three sides Some of
them are sixteenfeet long. There are 2, 700
linear feet of these stones, and the cost is
about So per foot,placed in proper position.

BS~One evening last week as he had
flushed supper, Mr., Robert Henry, of
Oakland township, this county, discover,
ed that the roof of his dwelling was on
fire. With the assistance of his wife
and little girl who was with them, he
succeeded in extinguishing the flames,
which, had they been allowed fifteen
minutes more time, would have reduced
his dwelling new frame house-to
ashes. As it was, a considerable portion
Of the roof was destroyed. Indeed, it is
almost a miracle how the FIRE was guonch,
ed, as there was quite a gale blowing at
the time.
Mr. Henry thinks that the FIRE origin
".ed from n spark that must have fallen
on the roof. having passed up the chin,
ney People should be on their guard

Credit.

The New York Mercantile Joaraal in
lengthy article on the above subject.
concludes in the following language,
which might pay porusal:
If we would then draw some final
conclusions from the views we have here
presented on subject that so gravely in
terests all classes of business men. we
might tormalize them in something like
the following shape. If man asks US
for credit, We would inquire
lst. Is he honest2 I'd. Is he capable 2
ID. Docs he understand the business in
which he is engaged? 4th. Is he pru.
dent, temperate, economical, industrious
and energetic?
This is much to ask, and upon the an.
swers must rest the Judgment we form of
the character OF the man with whom we
are about to transact business. All these
Inquiries having met with completely sat.
lsfaetorlly replies, We come to the second
layer Of the foundation. viz: his means /;
and must furthermore ask, 5th. Has he
a sufficient capital available against mis-
fortune ? 9th. Is his capital such in ma
ture and amount as to ensure an adequate
margin against the risks of his business /?
The solution of the whole matter lies
Ia the result OF this or similar iuterrog,
attory and thoroughly prudent aud in
teliigent man of business will be iphuen.
eed thereby, as to whether or not he will
grant the credit requested at his hands.
The accommodations that those who are
not prudent and intelligent coneede, are
sources OF danger to both parties. He
who receives is as much imperllled by
them as he who gives.
In laying down these rules which seem
to combine the practical experience of the
great business world of modern times il
is not intended to exclude a variety of
cases that may spring up where there is
an intimate and thorough knowledge be-
tween man and men. The varieties and
yicssitudes of human affairs are so man
itold, that every ENHANCEMENT cannot be
toreseen, but law once established and
admitted, is not in the slightest degree,
impaired by the grace that is exercised in
administering it. In new country like
ours, exceptional circumstances viii arise,
and these must be carefully considered as
they come; But the one grand rule that
includes all contingencies and embraces
all difheultles 10 its pGrview, is, that credit
must rest not merely upon intentions and
book balances, but upon actual mercan-
iile character aud unepestionable mercap
tile means"
