WE have heard that it is in contem-
plation among the Radicals at Wash
ington that sumner, in the Senate, and
Boutwell,, in the House, shall stimuli
taneously introduce bills to change the
name of the mississippi" TO the Mig
er, and TO order the secretary of the
Interior to have the Capitol painted
black. The project slumbers, because
the three Radical Senators who are
not ianke.s by birth, hesitated, rs it
might not be eapproyed by the honest
yeonen Of the Mississippi Valley,
sumner thinks he can succeed in get
ting majority vote TO change the first
syllable of the new State of "COiOrn-
ado into BLACK "a. moor" aud with the
patient waiting of lhe man of one idea,
he has laid aside the Mississippi scheme,
until his proposed amendment OF the

a BILL has been introduced into Con
gress to abolish the Office of Adjutant
General of the Army. The reason for
this is,that the President has appointed
an officer to fill it whom Congress don't
like. This is a fair specimen ofthe set
tied and comprehensive wisdom by
which Congress in very many things is
governed. The minister to Rome was
not favorite with Congress, so the mis-
sion was abolished. Our Minister in
Portugal, in private letter, spoke dis
respectfully Of Congress, 50 lis salary
was Withheld. The President is not
popular, therefore it is proposed to abol-
i'h the Presidency. Republican insti-
tutions are not strengthened or recon-
mended to the world at largo by such
demonstrations as these.

WHY did not Gen. Butler, when he
determined to bring in an article OF i'm
peachment on his own account, repeat
the charge he made year ago that Mr..
Johnson was an accomplice of Booth in
the assassination of President Lincoln? !?
He declared then that he had evidence
of the fact, and gave mysterious hints
of the awful revelations he was ready
to make. 1t was mainly Oh this ground
that he then desired impeachment; and
he was very much disgusted because
the failure of impeachment at that time
prevented his proceeding with his eX-
pOsures. He has now at least the chance
of bringing his charges to II legal test.
Why don't he do so? If he should
make out his case, he would have no
further trouble with the conviction and
removal of President Johnson.

WE are not sure that Congress will
need the aid of the Loyal Leagues and
the Lodges of the Grand Army of the
Republic, which have volunteered
to defend and protect it in its course.
We find motion in the Georgia Con-
vention for an adjournment and n sub
sequent reassembly, the latter to last
$50 long as it may be necessary for the
protection of the loyal Georgians and
Congress Of the United States" Let
Congressman, therefore, stand firm or,
as Mr.. Sumner would say, "stick. ;" The
Georgia convention backs them.

DREAM REMARKABLY FULFILLED.
Rev. l.. w. Lewis, in his "Reminis-
cepces of the War;" now being pub
lished in the Texas Christian Adro-
cate, relates the annexed remarkable
instance as literally true. The battle
referred to was that of Prairie Grove,
in Northwest Arkansas, fought De-
cember 7, 1862:
A curious fulfillment of O. dream
occurred at the battle under my own
eye. A man by the name of Joe.
Williams had told dream to many
of his fellow-soldiers some of whom
had related it to me months previous
to the occurrence which I now re-
late:
He dreamed that we crossed q
river, marched over mountain and
camped near q church located in q
wood, near which terrible battle en-
sued, and in a charge, just as we
crossed the ravine, he was shot in the
breast On the ever-memorable 7th
of December, '62, as we moved at
double-quick to take our place in the
line of battle, then already hotly en-
gagged, we passed Prairie Grove
Church, small frame building be-
longing to the Cumberland Presby-
terians. 1 was riding on the flank of
the command, and opposite to Will
liams, as we came in view of the
house. "That is the church, colo
mel, L saw in my dream" said he. 1
made no reply, and never thought of
the matter again until in the even
ing, we had broken the enemy's line,
and were in full pursuit, when he
came upon dry ravine in the wood,
and Williams said: "Just Oh the
other side of the hollow was shot in
my dream, and 1 will stick my hat
under my shirt" Suiting the action
to the word as he ran along, he
doubled it up and crammed it in his
scarcely had he adjusted it
before minnie ball knocked him out
of the line. Jumping up quickly, he
pulled out his hat. waved it over his
head, and shouted, I'm all right!'
The ball had gone through four
thicknesses of his hat, raised black
spot about the size of mans hand
just over his heart, and dropped into
his shoe.
