Johnson,s Purposes.

General Boynton writes thus to the Gin
cinnati Gazette, concerning the deep-laid
plans of Mr, johnson. We shall be for
tunate people if our neglect of duty in re-
fuslng to impeach and remove the bold law
breaker does not fall in terrible punishment
upon our heads:-
The Presidents advisers and associates
agree in the statement that Mr. johnson
now intends to work earnestly. If the Re-
publican party can be completely over
thrown he intends 10 do it. He says he is
free; that all fear of Congressional interior
ence is at an end; that so long as he can re
move District Commanders at pleasure, lie
can keep the South in such Il turmoil as will
| prevent reconstruction, and TO prevent this,
his whole energy, all his authority and all
the powers he dare make use of will be OK
erted throughout the remainder of his term
Either Mr.. johnson has been moderated
by the Republican party, or Of late he has
yielded more fully to able men around him
1t may be that the Democratic leaders of
New York and Pennsylvania are shaping
his course, and that he is allowing himself
to be thus led; but certain il is, that a plan
Of action is being perfected which, under
him, will yet cause the Republican party
STAT liOuDie, dit' ~ uot llltt VIII
boldness and yigor, cost them defeat in the
Presidential contest Those who are gath
ering around Mr. Johnson now are looking
10 success achieved by positive measures,
by platform which has meaning; apG
they expect TO match this against what they
declare to be the drift Of Republican senti
ment, namely: Il popular candidate without
a platform. And they well know that posi-
tive men all over the country, will, in thci
hearts at least, most admire the formc
course.
The whole sweep Of that political move
ment here which hinges upon tic ACTION q
Mr.. johnson is bringing to the minds q
many the question, whether, after all, til
country has not moderated him. Many ar

Advertising In Dull Times

The Tribune, referring to the dull condi-
tion of trade, and to the fact that heavy
profits in business, the past year, have been
the exception and not the rule, holds this
sensible language 3
In the meantime, how are business men
to keep afloat Prudence and economy, Of
course, are the two great lessons to be learn
ed; but there is one part of these lessons
which in dull times is especially apt to be
forgotten. BE sure of one thing whatever
you have TO sell, there are many people
ready to buy, eyen in the most depressed sea
sons. Find them out; show them youi
wares; persuade them to buy ofyou rather
than another When buyers are reluctant,
sellers must be active 1t is neither cheap
nor sensible to sit still behind your counter
and wait for the hustle of trade to revive.
When business is dull that is the very time
to advertise. In the first place, that is when
you most need to advertise; and in the sec
ond, that is when people devote most time
to reading the newspapers, and when youi
advertisement consequently is most general

THE "CIIIVALRY.p

Southern Society, the secesh weekly
published at Baltimore, thus pictures those
pinks of human perfection, who are sup
posed to have formerly existed in the South,
the ''chivalry:"-
"They were the most quiet, easy, gentle,
heightened, and courteous people in the
world. They felt their superior manners
they knew that they possessed them. Their
politeness was of the heart. Having an
abundance at home, and being engaged in
the elevated task of governing and instruct
ing inferior beings, whilst at the same time
improving themselves, they felt kindly and
humane toward all. = They were
in the garden Of the world ministering Ia
the wants and attending to the natural ne
cessities of several different races of human
beings at the same time"

The War Department has received letter
from breckenridge County, Kentucky, giving
an account of a most horrible outrage at
tempted upon the inmates and trends of ore
of the largest colorcd school in that county.
1t appears that teacher proposed to have
concert and exhibition on Christmas eve.
She was warned that il could not be per-
mitted, but refused to believe THAT the rebels
would carry their threat into execution, and
went on with her preparations. The
exhibition was finally held in one of the
colored churches, which was packed with
friends of the school and children. Within s
few minutes after the exercises closed, hnI not
until the people had left, the church was
blown to pieces by the explosion of keg Of
powder that had been placed under tho
platform on which the children were seated,
and probably touched off with slow match:
An explosion during the exhibition would
probably have destroyed the entire au-
diGnce.

1t should be continually kept in view that
the Republican strength in the South. is
largely composed of white men. In North
Carolina, where the preponderance of regis
tered whites over blacks is largest, there the
majority in favor of Reconstruction was one
OF the greatest Though the Conservatives
made an active and energetic canvass against
the holding of the Convention, they were
defeated by nearly fifty thousand majority.
Apd they lost no counties more generally
than those of the mountain districts, where
aery fen blacks Were registered. Con-
corning the Union men of North Carolina,
late Issue OF the Raleigh Standard says
Thousands of Shareholders in the South
were ready in 1860, to give np their slaves
to save the Union-were ready, in 1863, tc
reconstruct the government, though they
know that under Mr. Lncolns prociamatioi
they should lose their slaves-were ready. in
1865, to submit uncomplainingly to sucf

The acts of Congress make sure to ther

NATIVES oppose those Acts? To ask them t

shallow trick. The Standard, on thi
point says

National Convention of the Grand Army
of the Republic.

General Orders, No. 40, which has been
lately issued from the Headquarters of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Springfield
Illinois, announces that the first National
Convention of the Order will be held in
Philadelphia on the 18th of January. Meet
ings OF the different departments through
out the country have been held and dele
gates elected. As the Order numbers at
present about one million of Members, the
Convention will certainly be very large,
one, and will be attended from all parts OF
the United States, the posts of the Grand
Army extending from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and from Maine to the Gulf Of Mex
leo. A circular has been issued from the
Headquarters of the Department Of Penn
sylvania. 1t announces that the Conyen-
ton will be held at the Assembly Buildings,
southwest corner of Tonth and Chestnut
streets, Philadelphia. Delegates upon their
arrival will report at the Headquarters Oh

Very many of the railroads of the country
have agreed to sell excursion and commu,

them at half fare, and the attendance on
members will doubtless be very large.

Farmers Coming South.

The extent to which the farming communities
in many Of the Northern States are moving to
more genial climates, and an easier titled soil is
hardly generally known. One of our real estate
agents in Wilmington informs us that he now has
on file applications and inquiries from no less
than three hundred parties, in reference to lands
for sale one the Peninsula. They write from all
the New England States, New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and States further Vest, while one gentle
man writes from Tennessee. Most of the parties
desire less severe climate, with shorter winters.
They will find these desirable conditions in our
favored State.

NoTwrTHsTA NDINa the money spent by the
visitors to the Great Exhibition, it is stated
that since the establishment of the Empire,
there has not been as great commercial
stagnation in Paris, nor more general
want of confidence among business men.
Capital is unemployed, and the banks are
overloaded with deposits. A general, though
indefinite fear, that the country is on
the eve of some great internal or external
connection seems to be the cause.

THE COTTON TAX.
The Senate finally compromised on the
repeal OF the cotton tax by merely suspend

will be considerable opposition to this in
the House, where there are many who will

absolute repeal for all time to come.
This compromise is really an abandon
