of Mrs. LINDSEY, on the farm of the late
George Isler, came very near destruction from
fire on, Sunday morning last, and was only
saved by the prompt exertions of Mr.. George
Lindsey, who happened to be at home when
the fire was first discovered. as it was,

UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WAsHINGTON, March l., 1867.

Dear Sir: Your letter of the Sth inst, is re.
ceivcd. The bill you referred to was passed
IN the earnest hope that it you'd tend to the
full restoration Of all the States to all their
rights in the Union. The sixth section I
think too harsh, but it was put in the House
as the result Of opposition from both extremes.
At the request of large numbers from the
South, We are passing supplementary act to
provide machinery of Reconstruction. The
original bill left all this TO each State, but
there was danger Of double organizations and
conventions, and therefore 10 avoid further
strife or difference, this new act will be pass
Cd. 1t is merely scaGOlding.
My earnest conviction Is, that the South
should not forcgo this opportunity to be re-
stored to representation; aud you may rely
upon it, thar majority in both Houses will
adhere to this offer, and execute it in good
faith and to the letter, if your people will do
likewise. Neither section can be prosperous
while the present condition OF military sur
yeilance prevails.
You can do as you please with this.
Very truly, yours,
john SHERMAN.

VIC copy the following from the Richmond
Correspondence of the New York HaqH:.
RICHMoNp, March 22.-When General
Schofeld had issued his Gencral Order No
/, assuming the command Of this district he
was called upon by that erratic indiyiduak
John Minor Bolts, who Was then in this CITY
and who, in lengthy TRADE against all mr.
ties, classes and sscts differing in views with
himself, undertook to instruct that officer in
the co"rse he should pursue and the manner
IN which lie should apply his new mowers to
certain parties. In this unasked. for advic.
Bolts never once afforded an opportunity to
be told, OF Tor moment thought, lie was in
trudins upon an officer who because of his
ability to administer justice and effectively
enforce the law was appointed here. Tho
Ncnerai listened calmly to the raving of this

ever "ouchsafing him a reply, not even a

his leave, sneaked out like badly snubbcd
man, which Bolts was. After lie had gone.
the General, who was quietly smoking a ci.
gar, turned to one Of his officers present and
remarked eff Sherman was here that man

a LRApER WANTEu.

The conservatism of the country needs a
party leader. It has had none during the
existence of the seth Congress. andso far the
same want is felt in the 10th Congress-
President johnson has come nearer to the
character of leader than any other nan hold
ing official position; but he lacks nerve
backbone. He has planted himself, in all
of his vetoes of Congressional bills at least,
upon the Coustitution-the basis of conscrva-
tism; and for this he has won the regard of
all lovers of that grand old government char.
ter. But he has not won either respect orr
fear from the Congressional maiorities who
have traitoEOusly set aside nearly all the cs-
sensial provisions OF that instrument The
reason Of this is obvious Mr.. johnson. while
basing all cf his.vetoes upon the unassailaLle
grounds of the uuconstitutionaiity of the bills
which called them forth, has, even before
those vetoes were superseded by Congress,
announced his determination to enforce the
laws notwithstanding their UNCONSTITUTIONAL
ity. This shows one OF the two things Eth
or want OF nerve, or wa3t of honesty
We believe the President to be honest
though at the same time we believe him to
be influenced materially by men in high pla-
ces about him who utterly depraved in
all political sense. 1t is, therefore, want of
nerve that has caused failure in Mr. john
son as political leader aud this same want
was, and is. existing in every man Of the
present conservative congressional minority,
who have brains cncugh to supply the intel
lectual needs of a party leader, Mr. john
son had the opportunity of putting himself at
the very head of all living American states
men, but his want Of pluck has allowed that
opportunity to pass away from his gasp. It
his duty to say to Congress what lie has
various veto messages, but it was no
is duty, as true and brave patriot, TO
1t that he would never enforce any law
he believed to be in violation of the
tution. If he had done this, his oppo-
n to the madness of the day would have
IN effective, the country saved from the de-
etivc policy which is now governing it,

of the base and bad Eicn who are now

been at the cost of another war To

and to lead the hosts of lovers CT trus liberty
who are ready to rally around his Standard
The Constitution and the Union were worth
fighting for six years ago, and they should be
no less worth fighting for now; but if they
are not saved speedily they can never be saved
at all; and the country must be, then, either

Gen. Butter has accused Mr. Biogham
and the Court Martial, of hanging an inno-
ecu: woman. The New York Times retail
ates on Gen. Butler in the following. Its
evident that great deal more hanging will
have to be done before justice gets her dues:
Cen Butler is man who stabs in the dark.
In the war he buug one man. who was nm:
armed, detcnceless, and wholly in his power.
Without trial or the scmblamce of. one. He
imprisoned and tortured under false pretcxts
an army chaplain for not inven,ing, or assert,
ing when he had invented it for him. false
statement about brother officer. And he
now seeks to infuse into tie public mind, big
cowaTdty insinuatiOns, an infamous caiunny
against the President of the United States.
The country will treat it and him as both de-
serve.

whatever you do don't give Miss Warren

whatever you do don't give Miss Warren
your explanation about the letters -
Don't you see? She thought you didn't
send back your letters for a sentimental
reason; because they were SO dear to you
that you couldn't part with them and so,
in point Of fact, that little misunderstood
ing Of hers led to the establishment Of
your love affair. ="
''Do you think SO ?'' he added musingly.
but if George has made any mistake
about the matter, think I'm bound to
set her right
My dear Stone take my advice; for fear
Of accidents set her right-lf you must
set her right-after the wedding ceremony,
not before'
Whether or not he took my advice I'm
not aware He was married in due course
to Miss Warren: and | know that that
lady was often heard to declare subsequently,
she bad married the best husband in the
world.
His practicality had answered and it
may be good plan to convert love letters
into pipe lights; still shrink from laying
it dawn as rule that such a course should
invariably adopted. Lovers must be left
in that respect to pursue their own devices
and to what may seem right in their own
eyes. 1t mnst be owned, however, that the
story of Stones love affair shows that there
is somethidg ia be said in favor of practi-
cabiity From the BeLgrGUjGn
