Mr.. JOHNSON has beyond question made
the very gravest errors, and the one refer

striking, but he has long been aware of it
and we believe has made and is still max

trim their sails to catch the popular breeze,
but Mr.. JoHNsoN already possesses the prize

to receive the popular applause. He can

the Presidents Policy.

We publish to-day an able and interest
ing letter from highly valued correspon-
dent, among other things criticising Sc
verely the policy of the President. While
we cannot agree entirely with our cores
pondent, there is much in the letter which
will strike our readers with great force.
Possibly the author of the letter, and we
confess to the same ignorance, does moi
know the necessities which restrain the
President from reinstating the officers
removed by the District Commanders.
Certainly no mere questions of policy will
justify the administration from restoring
those to their rights and property who
have been wrongfully deprived of them by
subordinate officers, and we are unwilling
to believe that such feelings actuate the
conduct of Mr.. JOHNSON. There is, we
confess, in high and low places, too much
disposition to bend the pregnant hinges
of the knee" to the throne of power, but i
is improper to Judge, and possibly harshly

This question seemed to have disturbed
our citizens. We knew we were States

thought possibly we were when salutes,
were to be fired, but we knew we were on

one gun should be fired for leach State, .
many citizens counted them, in order to

were fired, we suppose the commando,
was in as much doubt as we were, and com.
promised the matter by giving only ''na.

She does not use the fashionable plan of
advertising a public examination--of pre-
pairing her pupils to show off on certain
prescribed lessons-of making public dis

based upon clap-trap, humbuggery, dema-
gogism. Mrs. Ransom's departure fiom

TARDORo', July 3, 1867.
NessrS. Editors This county, after hay
ing lost its jail, 10y the torch Of the Federal
invaders, during the war, since the ending
of the same, appropriated a large sum of
money for its reconstruction, Ibeieve about
$11 ,000) Three gentlemen of known ex-
perience and taste in such matters, were
appointed by the County Court to have
the said Jail built. They went promptly to
work, and about two months ago it was
completed. The model was considered by
all to be beautiful, and the inside arrange
of last night will demonstrate that the Or
namental III such buildings may do very
well, but that strength is absolutely essen
tial.
In the Jail there were confined six prison
ers, three accused of homicide, one of high
way robbery, and two for larceny. This
morning our worthy iailor woke up and found
that four of his birds had flown, and in
stead of sweltering in the fumes Of a dun
geon, are now enjoying the fresh air of
Heaven.
Those who escaped are, Gus Holmes, (col-
ored) who few weeks ago committed a
most foul murder by shooting another col
ored man in his own house, without provo
cation Albert Barnes, (colored) who was
char ged with having committed highway
robbery, and two others, who had been
committed for larceny.
The other two prisoners, Jim Knight and
John Taylor, who are accused of having
murdered Young Cutchen some time ago.
remained in the jail, although the doors
were opened to them. The prisoners escap-
ed by unlocking the paC-loc1s which fasten-
ed their cells, and after getting out of the
cells bored through the W. lis, which were
composed of only plaster g; d brick.
The Sheriff is on the look out, and it is
hoped that he may be able to overtake the
flying birds. Yours,
