For as tie Prophets standard waved, the cry

" II so II s great AIlah's win, we viii united
Let the usurper gain the day, VEN let his min-

They fell, those gallant few-they fei!-but did

The PRESIDENTS PREsEEr VIEWS
OF REcoNsTRUcTIoN.-A Washington
despatch states the following, which
we can only say is doubtful-very:
"The latest bulletin as to Presi-
DENTAL reconstruction views would
place Mr.. johnson in direct hostility
to the enemies of reconstruction
under the Congressional programme.
1t is stated to-day, by distinguished
Senator, that Mr.. johnson sincerely
regrets that any of the Southern
States have been so unwise as to at
tempt to restrain>the enforcement of
the reconstruction acts by Injunction.
Nay, more, it is even said that SO de-
termlned to carry out the measures
that, even should iniunctions issue
from the Supreme Court, he would
disregard them. That is certainly a
very remarkable exposition of Presi-
dental views on this important sub
Ject; but it is vouched for by n very
reliable Senator. The same Senator
anticipates that, by the meeting of
Congress next December, tho South
ern States will be ready for admis-
sion, and the great problem of recon
struction will be solved, or, ut least,
very near its solution"

Among the private soldiers now
on duty at the Jackson Barracks,
below the city of New Orleans, is
one by the name Of Schultz, who
served during the late war Us Colonel
OF al Illinois regiment, and upon
leaving the service was breyetted to
the grade of Brigadier. Finding,
no doubt, charm in. military life,
he re-entered the service and enlisted
as a high private. But here's tho
rub. BY an Act of Congress-. all
e1-officers OF the United States are
permitted upon military occasions
OF Importance to wear the insignia of
their brevet rank. Therefore, upon
the next parade, will be presented
the curious anomaly of q Brigadier's
star carried on the same shoulder
with q musket. Will the inspected
out-rank the inspector?

ONE OF Two THINGS. will
remain under military rule" So SAYS
some Arkansas editor, and some
Louisianian echoes it. But, saws the
New Orleans Picayune, you cannot
and will not remain under military
rule; you will have government
made for you, il you do not make it
for yousef under the military bills.
Ii you vote down a convention, YOU
who thus vote will be disfranchised
by supplementary bill. and then
none but black and white radicals
will have any voice in the Govern
ment. Nothing con be more wild
than the idea that there is any mode
OF action or posture of inaction which
can avoid the issue. Organize or
emigrate! This is the only alterna-
tive.

thirty-one copper plates, on various
banks. Each plate was carefully
wrapped up in separate piece Of
paper, and the whole was labelled

amount of the note was left blank,
so that the plate could be used for
any denomination. They are all on
