"Rebels Poetry---A Hard Hit. >

.'The National Tateliiseneer has taken TO pub
fishing rebel poetry. Rather bold for the special
organ Of the President; but after all, it is no
worse than supporting Andrew johnson, and it
certainly is consstent--Nee York Tribune.
The poetry above referred to was piece
called 1.-The Blue and the Gray" which or

for September. IF the radical Atlantic

of Massachusetts, is contributor,
can publish it, we certainly think the

questioned. The Tribune SEXES upon small
things, in the absence of greater to display
its malignant partnership.
Speaking of poetry, remind us that there
appeared in the Tribune, not long since, a
piece addressed to the American flag, as fol-

The great political soup society which
holds perpetual meetings at Washington, is
determined TO keep the country in con-
stant bubble ofexcitement and alarm. Every
day or two we hear of something startling
or revolutionary taking place ut the Capt.
tol, WARS and rumors Of wars' are beng
continually sent over the wires TO alarm
the people, and retard tie progress OF bust
ness.
First we hear that "Grant dcfles tho Pre-
sident and refuses 10 execute his orders !"
then again, Grant is as docile as lamb,
and complies with Mr.. Johnson's com-
mands. Next, Mr.. johnson threatens to ar
rest the General; and soon alter we find him
in long consultation with "Merry Andrew"
at the White House. One despatch tells us
that there is an irreconclable rupture in
the Cabinet; and that every Cabinet officer
has rendered his resignation; and another
despatch reports that "there is no prospect
OF an immediate retirement of any of its
members. The relations of all of them with
the President continue of an agreeable char
acter.n And so these mischievous reports
fly about the country-North and South
carrying terror and fear wherever they go.
1t is a most unfortunate thing for the
peace Of the nation that so many profession
al political scamps are encouraged about the
National Capitol. Their presence there a'
elsewhere works serious injury TO public
morals and political honesty and the soon
er they are expelled from all honorable as
sociation the better.

GRANT AND JOHNSON.

We publish entire to-day the correspon-
dence between Andy johnson and General
Grant, relative TO the removal of Gen. Sher-
idan. 1t will be seen that Gen. Grant pleads
hay prolests-in the name of patriotism
and the people, in behalf of Sheridan in an
earnest, plain and emphatic manner; while
johnson, on the other hand, insists-in sre
cious sentences--in the interest of treason
and copperheadism for his removal. II
Congress at its next session does not impeach
the miserable drunkard who thus strives to
destroy the peace and unity of the country,
by constantly essaying to thwart the wishes
and will OF the people as expressed through
that body, we shall conclude that it is made
up of dough-faces and towards who are un-
mt for the position of guardians of the ma.
tion's honor in times Of peril.
