CWPresident johnson, in the natural course
of events is expected to return to Tennessee
next year not Greenville, but his farm six
miles from there on the railroad, will doubtless
be his home. About six months since, the Pre-
sident purchased beautiful plantation, con-
tanning about five hundred acres, at Hcnder-
sons depot, with two fine Touring mills on it
and also beautiful building spot withina hun
dred yards of the depot, commanding view
of the Alleghanies for fifty miles, and that

post office at that station has been changed

rs 1t will be remembered that some weeks
ago Mr.. Ashburn, one of the prominent Union
leaders in Georgia, was brutally nsrdered al
| night, in the most bold and defiant manner, al
| Columbus, in that State. The civil authorities
not daring or not wishing to investigate the
matter, for fear of the Ku Klux, Gen. Meade
in command there, Immediately took steps te
see justice done. Having received overwhelm
ing proofs of the innocence of Ashburn and
the guilt of his assassins, he set the ball in mo-
ton for ferreting out the murderers, and sue
ceeded in discovering and arresting the wretch
es, who arc now in durance vile at Fort Pulas
XII. They prove to be members of the chivalry
of that section, and men quite prominent as
conservative leaders. Their arrest has opened
a vein of southern yituperation from the news
papers in that vicinity, and cry has gone, ur
for the release of these murderers at once
The Columbus San violently assails Gen
Meade for his course in this affair, and calls
upon Mr.. johnson to interfere. a3 .,.- ~
