says that such a gigantic proposition is even
now on foot. and that plenty Of capitalists are
ready to engage in it as soon as the plans are

been consulted, and that they have drawn up
report which is perfectly feasible, and only
requires time and money to carry out. The
capital required, it is estimated, is five hun

QUITE UNNATURAL. "A correspondent of a
Cincinnati journal states that President
johnson takes off his clothes when he goes to
bed--wit wonderful celebrity. That he
puts his head on his pillow and goes to sleep
at once. Says the New York Enpress,
considering the alleged blaclness of his
heart, the atrocity of his bloodthirsty nature,
and the fearful enormity of the crimes he is
said to have committed by the Radicals it
would seem strangely unnatural that his mind
should permit sleep-and it is scarcely neces-
sary for us to add, that the Ultras place no
reliance whatever upon the statement Of the
said correspondent.
