Foolhardy Exploit.

A special dispatch from Augusta, Me-,
to the Herald describes very foolish
action of young man, on the success OF
which he won the paltry sum OF twenty
five dollars, and gained nothing else, for
bravery could have nothing to do with
such suicidal attempt:
"A young man by the name of Charles
Marston advertised that he would sail
over the Augusta dam (thirty feei) be.
tween the hoHrs of two and three o'clock
Saturday afternoon. As the river, ow-
ing to the recent rains aud thaw, has of
late been very high, the proposed feat
created quite an excitement. At the ap-
pointed time large concourse of peo-
pie had assembled on both sides of the
river to witness the daring exploit, and
Marston soon after started from the main
body of ice, about twenty rods from the
dam, in a small wherry, steering with
common paddle. The current soon took
the boat, aud he was propelled through
the water with considerable speed until
he arrived at the edge Of the dam, when
he shot over with fearful velocity. As
the boat went over, Marston flung him
self nearly on his face, clinging to the
sides, and in that position both man and
boat disappeared in the boiling surge be-
low, bu. almost instantaneously reap
peared, and rode safely out in the stream
amid the cheers of the crowd"

EDITOR LEDGER: Adding insult 4
injury is a common saying and com
mon occurrence but was there ever 81
Outrageous and aggravated an instanc'
as that of Andrew Johnson toward thu
people ofTennessee and the WHOLE South
The bold effrontry and utter shameless
ness with which he comes amongst III
make his presence the very enormity o.
insult to injury. His unblushing impu
dence and bsrefaced presumption aggra'
yate, indeed, to very evaporation.
Just to think Of it. Bred as public
man, in the wild torrent OF party politics,
and practiced and consummate in all the
factious arts of the accomplished dema-
gogue, by which be gained the highest
honors within the gift of the people, this
low minded plsbeian to all that is noble
and refined-this Judas Iscariotto every
political friend aud party--this Benedict
Arnold to his own native land and home
this great traitor and condemned
transgressor of every principle of honor,
truth, gratitude, justice and patriotism,
of everything, indeed, that ennobles q
man and makes true statesman-he--
| Ibis man Andrep Johnson-impelled by
terrible ambition, and blindly in
fatuated with his own popular powers,
coolly new returns, with enthusiastically,
among his once trusting and devoted Ten
nesseans, who made him great, but whom
be involved and then deserted-whom
be deceived and then characterization
he ruled tyrannically as Military Gov
ernor and bound in the chains of politi-
cal slavery in which they are still strng-
Cling, and whose lires, property and
homes he claimed with savage cruelty
after they had surrendered their arms. as
the spoils of the copquering North, and
an immolation to the god Of war; he,
this cold-hearted and bloody tyrant and
daring demagogue, returns among these
same people levying upon their attention
and hospitality, and seeking to raise
popular excitement and commotion that
his own infamous history may be covered
up aud forgotten, and he, Andrew JOHN
son, once more again be trusted and ele-
waited to power by the people of Tonnes
see.
Now, was there ever SO great an out
rage2 Praise to the LEDGER, for its out
spoken denunciation of this most enor-
nous insult to the intelligence and self
respect Of the Southern people, and
grateful response to its noble sentiments
is felt in the breast eff every true man
throughout the country. Be assured, at
least, of the warm greetings of the men

WHAT Asts Of tes RsteI States are TO DO

Ia answer TO this question, the So.
preme Court Of the United States, In the
Texas case just decided, said:
il is not necessary TO attempt any
exact dH6niiions within which the act Of
such State goFernmsnt nsst be treated
as valid or invalid. II may be said,
perhaps With sufficient accuracy, that
acts necessary 10 peace and good order
among cilizens-such, for example, 90
acts sarctioning and protecting marriage
and the domestic relations, governing
the course OF descents, regulating the
oonyegGpas and transfer of properly,
real sad Bss-sssl. end providing rene
dies for injuries TO pesssa and eetete,
and other similar acts, which would be
valid If smanating from a lawful govern.
meni-must be regarded 10 general as
valid when proceeding from the actual
though unlawful government; and that
acts in fsrsberHnce OF support Of rebel
lion against the rnite! States. or in
tended 10 defeat the lust nghis OF
citizens, and other acts Of ike nature.
must, in general, be regarded as invalid
and void.
