SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT.

The following speech was delivered by President
JOHNSON at the dedication of the National Cemetery
at Antetam:
My FELLOW CouNTRYMEN In appearing before
you, it is not for the purpose of making any
lengthy remarks, but simply TO express my appro.
baton of the ceremonies which have taken place
to-day Ny appearance on this occasion will be
the speech that will make. Ny reflections and
my meditations will be in silent communion with
the dead, whose deeds We are here to commemo-
rate. shall not attempt to give utterance to the
feelings and emotions inspired by the addresses
and prayers which have been made, and hymns
which have been sung. shall make attempt at
10 such thing. am merely here to give my coun-
tenance and aid 10 the ceremonies on this occasion
we may follow the example which has been SO
eloquenty alluded to this afternoon, and which
has been SO clearly set by the iustrious dead.
When we look on yon battlefield, 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 to-
gether in friendship and peace Applause. ]
You. my felowcitizcns have my earnest wishes,
as you have my efforts in time gone by, in the
earliest and most trying pcris, to preserve the
Union of these States, to restore harmony to our
distracted and divided country, and you shall have
my last efforts in vindicaton of the flag of the Re-
public and of the Constitution Of your fathers.
Applause.

ELECTIONS IN TIE MILITARY DIsTRlcTs.-Thc
National lnteliigencer, of Monday, states that the
President and Gen. Grant held q consultation last
week in reference to the postponement of eectious
in the Southern States. II is understood that they
agreed that under the reconstruction acts, neither
the Executive nor the Gcneral-in-Chicf has any
control or authority over elections or registration
in the military districts but it is understood they
have agreed on the propriey of holding elections
on the same day, and that it would be advisable to
suggest the same to the generals commanding
not in the shape of order, however, but as an
advisory communni cation, which General Grant
was expected to send.
Information receivad in Washington, Sunday,
from private Sources leads to the belief that Gen.
Mower will postpone the election in Louisiana
until the first Monday of November next, on ac-
count of the yellow fever, and the consequence alb
sence of many voters. In official circles it is not
believed that General Mower will take action in
that direction except upon consultation with Gen.
Hancock. who is understood to acquiesce in the
suggestion that all elections be held on the same
day.-Baltinlore Sun.

7y7 WgAT TIE RADICALS HAVE DONE.

= The Netyopoiildn Record prefers the following
bill of indictment against the Radical faction
They lave fastened upon the country debt Of
three thousand Millions at least one-haf of which
was stolen by official harpies and cormsrants Of
their own party.
They have ground to the earth with crushing
weight of taxes the industrial and producing
classes of the couutry.
They have established a bond-ocracy which
shares aone of the burdens imposed upon the peo-
pie, but which wakes rich and fat on their sweat
and toll
sWlliIe they have increased the price of oil the
necessares Of life by their Infamous policy otclai
punderng and partisan legislation, there has been
no corresponding increasc in the wages of industry
They havegbult up thieying, swindling bank
nr system that picks out of the pockets Of the peo-
pie from twenty-five to thirty millions year.
They have reduced ten States to the condition of
subject provinces, where all the rights of the peo-
pie are at the will of the infamous miscreants like
Sickles end Pope and where the niger is politi-
cally the superior of the white man.
They have disfranchised ten millions of our own
race and blood.
They have trampled under foot the great vital
principle:of free government; that taxation and
representation should be inscparablc.
They have deprived the President OIL his consti-
tutional authority and power, and created in the
place of the three departments an overshadowing
usurpation in the form of Congressional oligarchy
They have inflicted eternal disgrace upon the
country by the murder Of an innocent woman,
through such devils instruments as Holt and STAN
ton.
They have made mockery Of the ballot in Ten
nessee and Missouri, where innocent men are
murdered through the conniyance Of Brownlow
Fletcher and their hell hounds
They have broken every Congressional and other
pledge which they made when they tricked the
country into the adoption and prosecution of the
war policy.
They have let loose flood of spies and detec-
tives over the land and suborned peruers to swear
away the lives of innocent men and women.
They. have provoked bloody collisions in the
South, and then fabricated therefrom, through the
instrumentality of paid agents and correspondents
infamous lies, with which to fire the Radical heart
They have concocted, through such degraded
wretches and black hearted miscreants as Ashley
and Butler most deylish plots for the ruin of their
political opponents.
They have reduced the agricultural and prOduc-
ing portion of the country toa state or tributary
vassalage to the manufacturing monopOlies of
Puritans.
They are now engaged in deep conspiracy to
change the form of our government and reduce
the North to tie same condition as the South.
Such are the acts, such the designs of the Radi-
cal party.

HORRIBLE MURDER.

- JoHy HENRY. McGILL was shot by freedman at
the residence of Mr.. ]. P. TUCKER in this Diarict,
on Saturday night. 2lst ult., only surviving few
hours after receiving the shot. The circumstances,
as related to us, arc substantially as follows;
Al. ,HALL and J. P. Tucker had had a diff
Guilty sometime during the day of tle 2lst ult., at
or near TucKER's residence. a. ]. HALL left, and
,wentho about sun down. and got q freedman,
ELRERr BRowNLEE, who is working on his farm,
and his gun, and started back to TucKEns for the
purpose of getting satisfaction On their way to
TgcxER's they stopped at ]. S. AsHLsY's, and
HALL went into the house to get drink of brandy,
: while the negro remained st the gate. ASHLEY
refused ut first to give him the brandy, until HALL
promised him upon honor, if he would, he would
70 home. After he succeeded by this strategy, in
getting the brandy, he went out to the gate and
gave the negro part of it. He then confessed that
he had told lie, in order to get the brandy, and
TINT ne was going to TUcKER'si TO have satisfaction.
When he rode up to TUcKEns, he called him
-ont, but Capt. D. l.. HALL, who was at TUcKEn's,
: told TICKER to go into the house, and he would
go out and try to get A. J. HALL to go home
HALL was, he saw q man whom he took to be NO.
gro, standing near by in The corner of the fence
with gun. When the negro saw that Capt. HALL.
had discovered him, be stepped off some six PAGES
: from thesfence, and faced toward Capt. Hall, at
the same time bringing hs gun in shooting posi-
.:tion. Capt. HALL told A. ]. HALL several times
to 20 home as he had seen TUCKER, and the diff
a. oil ed hpt T
remained, saying he intended to have satisfaction
Capt HALL then went towards the freedman, Ell
{, BERT BRowsLEE, and asked him to give up his
gun, when the negro swore he would not do it, and
ordered him to halt. About this time JOHN Nc
G1Ll, who was also at TUcKEn'S, came out to where
Capt. HALL was standing. Capt. HALL again
asked the negro several times to give up the gun,
but rHes negro would not do it. AT length Capt
HALL told him he must give up the gun-and at
the same time he and McGILL commenced to ad- :
, vance towards him. The negro still swore that he
: would not give up the gun, and ordered them to
halt, as he '1belonged to the Union League, and
would shoot" About this time the negro aimed
his gun at McGILI, and discharged it, the load en-
tering the upper part of McGILL's stomach This
was about o'clock, at night, and McGILL lived
till about o'clock next morning.
EBERT BRowNLEE has been arrested and lodged
in ai at this place to await his trial; but, strange
to say, A. J. HALL has been permitted to escape
Stranger still, we understand he present at the
,inquest," and remained until after the burial,
.y1ithout being arrested Who is responsible for
aueh q violation of law and justice as this? Who
is safe. under such administration of law? The
matter ia one which the proper authorities should
investigate for the common good.
