which that instrument prescribes.
While one of its provisions makes the
President Commander-in-C Chief of the
army and navy, another requires that
he shall take care that the laws be
faithfully executed. Believing that a
change in the command of the Fifth
Military District is absolutely necessa-
ry for a faithful execution of the laws,
| have issued the order which is the
subject of this correspondence, and in
thus exercising a power that inheres in
the Executive under the Constitution,
as Commander-in-C Chief of the military
and naval forces, | am discharging a
duty required of me by the will of the
nation, as formally declared in the su-
preme law ofthe land. BY his oath the
Executive is sOlemnly bound, "to the
best of his ability, to preserve, protect
and defend the constitution" and al
though in timeSQf great excitement it
may be lost to public view, it is his du-
v,
himself, to hold sacred and TO enforce
any and all ofitS provisions. Any 9th
er course would lead to the destruction
Of the republic; for, the Constitution
once abolished, there would be no Con-
gress for the exercise oflegislativep pow
ers, no Executive to see that the laws
are faithfully executed, no Judiciary to
afford to the citizen protection of life,
limb and property. Usurpation would
inevitably follow, anda despotism fixed
upon the people, in violation of their
combined and expressed will. In con-
clusion, fail to perceive any military,
pecuniary or patriotic reasons why
this order should not be carried into
effect. You will remember that, in
the first instance, | did not consider
General Sheridan the most suitable
officer for the command Of the Fifth
Military District. Time has strength
ened my convictions upon this point,
and has led me to the conclusion that
patriotic considera tons demand that
he should be superseded by an officer
who, while he will faithfully execute
the law, will at the same time give
more general satisfaction to the whole
people, white and black, north and
south. lam, General, very respectfully
yours, ANDREW JOHNSON.
To Gen. U. S. Grant, Secretary Of War
dd Interim.

IMPRoVEMENTs IN PREPARING
CORNED BEEF.-It was long since
known that bladdeis have the peculiar
properly of pressing water and Watery
vapOr through their pores, but not al
cohol, so that brandy or whisky encloS-
ed in a bladder becomes much stronger
in the course of time by the loss of wa
ter,evaporating through the pores. DR..
Marcel, in England, has discovered
that bladders possess a similar proper
ty in regard to juices ofmeat. He salts
meat, enclosing it in bladder previ-
Gus to plunging it in the brine. The
brine passes freely through the bladder,
but the nOurishing constitution contain
ed in the juice Of the flesh are preven-
ted from dissolving in the brine. The
meat thus prepared was found to taste
better and to be more wholesome and
nutritive than meat salted by direct
immersion in the brine. The brine of
our common corned beef is strongly
charged with nutritive material, and
makes an excellent soup when the eN-
cess of salt is removed by crystalization
after concentrating it by heat.

STORY WITH \ MORAL.-When Gen
eral Jackson was moving on to-strike
McClellan's flank on the ChickahOm-
inv, he came TO a stream which had
no bridge, and could not be crossed
without one. The General had brought
with him from the Valley a rough,
uneducated man, full Of energy, who
had served him in emergencies, and in
whom he had the utmost confidence.
He called this man and told him that
stream must be bridged Immediately !;
the regular engineers were also advised
of The fact In short time the rough
carpenter and the polished men OF
science were at the stream the former
had his plan, the latter theirs, he wish
ed to 90 at the work at once without
drawings, but they objected until they
could perfect the plans on paper. The
engineers retired to their tent to per-
feet paper bridge; the carpenter took
his men and went to work at once to
make a real one. In very short time
he appeared at the Generals tent, and
reported briefly thus: General, that
bridge is done, but them pictures amt
come yet" Thisstory has moral that
all our readers can discover.

VOL. 62.--WHOLE No. 5.4O8.

A YOUNG HERO KILLS SIX CHEYEN-
MES AND ESCAPES WITH A ~CALP.-
Some four or five weeks ago, one of the
grading parties in advance Of the rail
road had with them young man of
about Is years named George Wait
His business was to break the prairie
ground with plough for the graders
along the line. One morning, as he was
out about two and Il half miles from the
camp, twenty-One miles beyond Els
worth, mounted on mule, he discover
ed party Of about thirty Indians dash
out of the timber Oh the Smoky Hill,
and make toward him and another man,
who was on foot, about a quarter Of a
mile nearer camp than he was. He
started to go towards camp, but the In
dianS discovering his intention, by the
superior fle tness Of their ponies, cut
him off. Young Wait now saw them
divide into two parties-one party 60
ing toward his comrade and the other
towards him. He attempted to make
the timber on the Smoky Hill, but the
Indians were too rapid in their move
mCntS for him. He had two navy re-
VOlverS, and resolved that the redskins
should pay for his scalp if they got it,
and fair price, too. Soon they came
near, circIing around him with savage
>alis npJ bnraD CboctiD0 OF hin, Tho
Indians seemed to be we'll armed with
pistols and Iances, very few having bows
and arrows. Wait returned the fire,
and he says that several times they
came so near that the lanceS nearly
touched him. Indian after Indian fell
before the unerring aim Of Waits six
shooters, and the assaulting party was
getting smaller very rapidly; the dead
Indians being carried away by the sur
vivors according to Indian CUSTOM
Soon he heard the shouts of approach
ing comrades, and the Indians made
final dash to kill the brave boy, who,
manned already with bullet in his leg,
Sllll SluCh W lilS IlIuIC' oIlC y w eiI
rior came up until the muzzle OF his pis-
tol nearly touched that of the boy; and
both fired-the Indian falling from his
horse with a mortal wound, while the
hero of the fight only got a revolver
ball in his side. In few moments
more the rescuing party came up, con-
=. 1, L
and some railroad employees, when the
Indians suddenly retreated. 'Waitstill
had strength to dismount and take the
pistols and scalp-lock Of the ''last ofthe
Cheyennes ;" which last he now bears
as Il trophy of his fight.

WRITE PLAIN.-A petition recently
presented to a Buffalo court was rejec-
ted by the judge on account Of "illegi-
bic writing" Bad hand writing, it Is
generally supposed, is the sure indica-
ton of genius, but there can be no grea~
ter fallacy. To write legibly can never
interfere with mans chance to gain
fame, while to write illegibly does in
terfere greatly with success in a print
inc Office. People who write for news
papers should remember that good
writing and good sense, aplain hand and
plain words are always most highly pri-
rod

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. II, 1867.
His E.rcelLency, AndTel0 Johnson, PreSt-
dent Of the United States:
SIR am in receipt of your order of
this date, directing the assignment Of
General q. III. Thomas to the command
of the Fifth Military District, General
Sheridan to the Department Of the
Missouri and General Hancock to the
Department of the Cumberland also,
your note of this date (enclosing these
Instructions saying, "Before you issue
instructions to carry into effect the
enclosed order, would be pleased to
hear any suggestions you may deem
necessary, respecting the assignments
to which the order refers"
l am pleased to avail myself of this
invitation to urge, earnestly urge
urge in the name of a patriotic people
who have sacrificed hundreds of thous-
ands of loyal lives and thousands of
millions Of treasure to preserve the in
tegrity and union of this country that
the order be not insisted on. 1t is un-
mistakably the expressed wish of the
country that Gen. Sheridan should not
be removed from his present command.
This is a republic where the will of the
people is the law of the land. l beg
that their voice may be heard.
Gen. Sheridan has performed his civ
il duties faithfully and intelligently.
His removal will only be regarded as
an effort to defeat the laws Of Congress.
1t will be interpreted by the unrecOn-
structed element in the SOuth-those
who did all they could to break up this
Government by arms and now wish
to be the only element consulted as to
the method of restoring Order-as tri-
umph. 1t will embolden them to re-
newed opposition to the will of the 10y
al masses, believing that they have the
Executive with them.
The services Of General Thomas in
battling for the Union entitle him to
some consideration. He has repeated
ly entered his protest against being as
signed to either of the five Military dis
tricts, and especially to being assigned
to relieve Gen. Sheridan.
Gen. Hancock ought not to be re-
| moved from where he is. His depart
nehG Is complicated one, Wnlcn Will
take new commander some time to
become acquainted with.
Thereare military reasons, pecuniary
reasons, and, above all, patriotic reas-
ons, why this order should not be in
sisted on.
beg to refer to letter, marked pri-
r
when first consulted on the subject OF
the change in the War Department. 1t
bears upon the subject of this removal,
and l had hoped would have prevent
ed it.
have the honor to be, with great
respect, your obedient servant,

able time for reply, have not received it,
that they will address him a letter, cnclos-

viously addressed to the Agent. If this is

READY-MADE CLOTHING.

TNHE ladies, gentlemen and young peo-
i pie OF Columbia, who may be in want
OF "SOMETHING TO WEAR are respect
fully and earnestly invited by the ladies of
the Industrial Association to call at their
"ork.room, in the Female Academy, and
examine the articles which they have now
ready for sale. Some one will always bo
found ready to exhibit the ready-made gar
ments and to receive orders from those
who may wish to have work done neatly
and promptly.
The object of the Association is to fur
nish constant employment to those who,
having been impoverished by the war, now
depend on the needle for daily bread.
Does not such an object commend itself to
the hearts of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that
on, people prefer Northern made GARMENTS,
ana that there is, therefore, no more work
for them? Shall it be said that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in
the capital of South Carolina? Jan 10
