THIS COUNTRY IS AN OLD ONE.

GeoIogist make it pretty certain the American
continent is the oldest in the series. But the idea
prevails that man has not occupied it so long as
he has Asia, Africa and Europe This is mere as
sumption. pains were deliberately taken to
classify the evidences that might be collected to
show the antiquity of the works of man on both
sides ofthe Rocky Mountains it would concu-
sivey prove that man was at a vastly remote
period, even anterior to the mould builders and
they flourisbed, perhaps several thousand years
before the advent of the Indians 1t is not diff
cult to make reference to four distinct races who
have existed here, fulfilled their destiny and dis
appeared Their demi-advances in civilization are
family indicated by the merest fragments of de-
signs, but which man alone could produce. How
many races generations had preceded even the
oldest Of the old of which we have vestiges is
lost in The accumulating lumber of unrecorded
cycles
That this continent was untenanted by man till
within the last thousand or five thousand years
admits of question, since the more the ground
is overhauled by those with Anglo Saxon blood
in their veins the greater number of strange
things come into view, indicative of an antiquity
of the continent, and antiquity, too, of man.
which will become more perplexing as those rel
les are multiplied and examined. One may see
throughout the whole series ofthe Western States
indications that there population has been far
greater heretofore than it may again be in two
hundred years to come, under the best auspices
of modern civilization.

THE ESIDENT'S SPEECH AT
ANTIETAM CEMETERY.

"My -couutrymen /: In appearing be-
fore you it is not for the purpose of making any
lengthy remarks, but simply to express my ap-
probation of the ceremonies which have taken
place to-day. My appearance on this occasion
will be the speech that will make. My refec-
tions and ry meditations will be in silent COM
munion with the dead, whose deeds we are here
to commemorate.
"I shall not attempt to give utterance to ihe
feeling and emotions inspired by the addresses
and prayers which have been made, and the
hymns which have been sung. shall make at
tempt at no such thing. | am merely here to
give my countenance and aid to the ceremonies
on this occasion, but must be permitted to ex-
press my hope that we may follow the example
which has been so eloquently alluded to this af-
ternoon and which has been so clearly set by
the illustrious dead. When look on yon
battle field, / think of the brave men on both
sides who fell in the fierce struggle of battle, who
sleep silent in their graves Yes, who sleep in
silence and peace after the earnest conflict has
ceased Would to God we of the living could
initiate their example, as they lay sleeping in
peace in their tombs, and live together in friend
ship and peace. Applause.
You, my fellow-ctizens, have my earnest
wishes, as you have had my efforts in time gone
by in the earliest and most trying pers to pre-
serve the Union of these States, to restore har-
mony to our distracted and divided country, and
you shall have my last efforts in vindication Of
the flag of the republic and of the constitution of
your fathers" Applause

GREELEY CAUGHT.

'Data," the Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sum- gives the following:
About month ago Mr. Greeley printed an
editorial in the Tribune, based on rumor by
the telegraph that General Steadman had been
appointed Secretary of War. 10 that article
MIR Greeley says:
"The appointment of Steadman as Secretary
of War, monstrous and ridiculous as it is in
trnsicaIly, is in perfect keeping with Mr John
sons policy, which is always to choose the worst
man in the country Cor given position. If be
could have found successor to Mr. Stanton more
obnoxious to the people, and less worthy of the
Office than Steadman, he would have inevitably
chosen him, but that was impossible. S.eadman
is the last man 10 the United States who ought
to be Secretary of War;" &c.
Something over year ago, when Gen. Stead
man was named as the then probable successor
OF Mr. Stanton, Mr. Greeley wrote letter to Mr.
johnson, copy of which was retained by the
friend Of General Steadman who delivered the
papers to the President. That friend furnishes
your correspondent with the following copy:
Office ofhe Tribune, NcU York, Jan. %,
1866. [Confdential Dear Sr:-The jou.-
mails generally say that Mr. Stanton has rendered
bis resignation and expects soon to leave the
War Department Should this be the case /
venture to suggest as his successor Gen. James
B. Steadman of Ohio, one of the bravest and
truest of our Union volunteers, and capable,
devoted patriot. Trusting you are aware of his
merits, | remain yours, HORACE GREELEY.
Hon. A. johnson, President.
AS it is certain that Gen Steadman will again
be urged for the place of Secretary Of War, and
as it is probable that he may yet be appointed to
that Office, the foregoing editorial and letter be-
comes interesting.

"Do You Know WHAT You CAN Do !"-We

like giant when he gets upon his feet, once edi-

the paper in his hand-espying a quiet looking

Raising himself slowly upon his feet until he

The man eyed him from head to foot for
