GENERALS

Scraps fron :" Behind the scenes"
MR.. L1ScoLN's CLINTON OF SOUTHERN
GENERALS.
Mr.. Lincoln was generous by nature, aud
though his whole hesrt was in the war, he
could not but respect the valor of those OPP
posed to him. His soul was too great for
the narrow, selfish views Of partisaHship.
Brave by nature himself he honored BRAY
cry in others-eyen his foes. Time and
again have heard him speak in the high
est terms Of the soldierly qualities of such
brave Confederate Generals as Lee, Stone
wall Jackson and Joseph E. Johnston.
jackson was his ideal soldier. "He ia
brave, honest, Presbyterian soldier" were
his words what a pity that We should
have to fight such gallant fellow If We
only had such man TO lead the armies OF
the North, the country would not be ap-
palled with 80 many disasters.
As this is a rambling chapter will here
rsoori an incident showing his feeling To-
wsEds Robert +. Lee. The yeey merdiag
of the day on which he was assassiasled,
his son, Captain Robert Lincoln, came into
the room with a portrait of General Lee in
his hand. The President took the picture,
laid il on a table before him, scanned the
face thoughtfully and said, st is good
face; it is the face Of a noble, noble, brave
man / am glad that the war is over at
last" Looking up at Robert, he continued
DWELL, my son, you have returned safely
from the front; the war is now closed, and
we soon will live in peace with the brave
men that have been lighting against US. l
trust that the era of good feeling has re-
turned with the war, and that henceforth
We shall have peace. Now listen to me,
Robert you must lay aside your uniform
and return to college; l wish you to read
law for three years, and at the end of that
time hope that we will be able to tell
whether you will make lawyer or not
His face was more cheerful than | had seen
it for long while, and he seemed to be in
a generous, forgiviDg mood.

ENNo9a khe n. Y Herald

President johnson Have to Say!
From ths n. T. Herald.
The two houses of Congress will resssemble
in the National Capitol on the first Monday in
December. 1t will be the last session of the
Fortietn Congress, and its constitutional term
will cease at noon on the 4th of March next,
when the Forty frst Congress will immedi-
ately take its place, under a recent law, in
order to be ready for the eXgencies of the
incoming Administration. We suppose that
on that occasion the two houses will await the
inauguration of Grant ana COlfax as Presi-
dent and Vice President, and that thep, after
a formal organization, a joint committee will
be sent to President Grant to report progress
and TO inform him that the two houses are
ready to receive any communication he may
have to make. Thereupon, in addition to the
usual inaugural address, we may look for a
message to Congress fOreshadowing the general
policy of President Grant.
Meantime, however, we may expect from
President Johnson on the reassembling of Con-
gress pretty extensive aud comprehensive
message. We presume, too that it will not
be so much devoted to the legislative mea-
sures deemed necessary for the public interest
as TO the vindcstiOn of "my policy" Last
december Mr.. Johnson was particularly jubi-
liant over the significant results OF the Northern
State elections of 1867, and We shall be little
curious, therefore, TO see his explanation of
We suspect, however that he will either
ignore this subject entirely or touch it very
gingerly. His eleventh hour eleotioneering
pTOnunCidnieatO in favor OF Seymour places
him so broadly in opposition to Grants cleo
tiOn that We can hardly expect the outgoing
to rejoice over the happy auspices which sur
round the incoming administration. In short,
We anticipate from Mr.. Johnson nothing very
wonderful, though something better than the
old story of his constitutional views of recon-
struction, and something more than the
dangers and disasters attendant upon wide
departures from the landmarks of the COnsti-
tuition as understood and defined by Mr.. Johp-
son-since the first Monday in December, 1855
We have the right to ask for something
more. We should like to have, for instance,
some exposition in the forthcoming message
of the financial policy pursued by his Score
taTy of the Treasury, for which the President
himself is responsible. Mr.. McCulloch has
not given MS very good administration of
the Treasury Department. On the contrary,
| it has bsen the administration rather of a
small sto0kj9bber than of a great statesman

Southern Railroads.
Nom NE ~. Y. Tribune


General Rosecrans has written letter in
favor OF a Southern trans continental railroad,
to add another to the many railway spOkes
now running from West TO East across the
United States, and having their hub in Eng
LAND What the South needs is not better
communication with England. Every one OF its
rivers, except the Tennessee and Cumberland,
1uns towards England, aud tends TO carry its
commerce. abroad. The greater the relative
trade of the South with Eogaud compared
with it's trade with the Northern States, the
weaker is the Union. The greater its com
meIce with the Northern States, the stronger
the Union and the less the need OF bayonets
10 hold it together. If national aid is to be
called for to build Southern railroads, let them
Iun from North to South, 50 as to increase the
transportation of Southern cotton, tobacco
and mOlasses into the Northern States for
manufacture and consumption, increase the
transportation OF men, machinery,
capital, stock, goods and tools from the North
into the South, and thus weld the two sections
in all their interests more firmly together, and
render the Union not union OF States with
diverse or conflicting interests, but union of
populations and industries whose interests are
identical. In Prussia, forty years ago, similar
steps were taken to unite in interest all Sec
tions of the German Confederation by so per-
fecting the means of railroad communication
between all parts Of Germany as to facilitate
their internal and domestic commerce, at the
same time that by the Zollverein all the
States of the Confederation were surrounded
by Gordon of protective tariffs which amply
sustained their home manufactures and
agriculture from injurious underbid-
ding by France and England. The result
is seen in the growth of wealth, the spread of
popular education, the growing comfort and
individual freedom of the North German
people, and in the advance of Prussia to the
position of frst-rate European power. lad
Germany converged her railroads towards Lon
don instead of towards Berlin, and given
France and England the free trade they
coveted, her railroads might have carried more
produce for the first five years, or might not,
but Germany would have continued the same
weak, distracted eoDglOmeration of sectional
and discordant pIincipalities it was then. The
future centre OF American industry lies be-
tween Pittsburg, Chicago, st. Louis, and Mem
phis. Let the means of communication be-
tween all parts Of the South and these points
be perfected, and let the country forget as
soon as possible that it ever relied on foreign
market for the sale of its raw products.

The church question is likely to
raise a rumpus among the "trooly
loil" in Washington. Some months
ago, the leading Republicans in the
district organized Il church for Rev.
DR.. Boynton, the chaplain of the
Senate. They ',uilt q new church
edltice in Washington, and it has
recently been opened for services.
Things went on swimmingly until
the other day, when two negro men.
graduates of Oberlin College, made
application to join this church. The
Rev. DIR. Boynton, however, was
used to preaching to the aristocratic
Christians Of the Senate chamber,
and positively declined to minister
to the ''cullud brethren" He OBJ
Jected to their joining his church,
and preached q sermon against it.
He, however, advised the two ne
groes to join one of the African
churches of Washington city.
At this juncture, the '"heroic"
General Howard appeared upon the
scene, and insisted upon receiving
the negroes, but without success. The
affair has now grown into a serious
split in the church, and the mem
bers are about equally divided. A
council of the body has been called
to reconcile differences, but there is
little chance of settlement. The
"heroic" General Howard insists
upon carrying his point, and the
probability is that the congregation,
which, is a large and wealthy one,
including General Grant, who is ono
OF the trustees. will split t-Richmond
