SERIOUS AccIDEsr. - On Monday evening last

miraculous that he escaped with his life. Although
his injuries of serious nature, there is every rea

lily some nine years since. Though the
lady was well informed as to the disap-
pearance of his father, the reverend gen.
tleman was surprised to find that she was
better posted in his family affairs than he
was himself. Becoming possessed of all
she knew, he wrote to the postmaster of
2, in the State of -, and ascer-
tanned facts which left no doubt in regard
to the identity of the individual Pro-
ceeding to the place in question, the
senior Eastman was found, and was per-
fectly overwhelmed at intelligence from
those who, for half century, had been to
him as dead. The old man, overjoyed,
took him home, and introduced him to
the "second family" for he had married
again and had four children, who in turn
were grown up and had children of their
own. The wife was dead, and the old
man, now seventy six years old, finds the
wife he left blooming young woman
with the gray hairs and wrinkles of sew
euty-nine. The father will soon be in
this city, and those desiring to ascertain
the facts of this case can inquire Of the
parties to it. That the family is again
united, we rejoice to be able to say, and
that they may pass happily through the
remaining years of life is our heartfelt
wish.

Andrew johnson for Presid emit.

This sounds strangely, but Avery"
the correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial, gets off the following from
Nashville:
There are those here who firmly be.
lieve that the great impeached will sue
ceed Grant in the Presidential chair.
The believers in future state for A. j.
figure it out on the political chess board
in this way. They say that Rsdioalism
is killed forevermore in Tennessee and
Virginia, and that it will soon die in all
the Southern States. The Conservatives
will vote and rule. Although the negroes
may all vote one way, they will still
be in the minority, and gradually they
will come over to the cause of their old
masters aud vote the same ticket After
awhile they will get tired, seeing that
their ballots do no good one way or the
other. All the Southern States will then
send Democrats, who will unite with the
Northern Conservative-De Democratic ele-
ment, and, to use the language of one
who was enlightening me upon this sub
ject, lit won't be five years until we rule
the country from Maine to Mexico"
swell, after that, what p / inquired
Why, its plain enough to see what
will follow. We will pay the national
debt in greeubacks and get that great
load off our shoulders. We'll buy up the
bonds with greenbacks, and then collect
the greenbacks for taxes and burn them
up. In this way we will stop the interest
aud cancel the debt. In regard to the
negroes, they can vote or not vote, just
as they id please. They are gradually
dying out any way, and will not figure
much more in politics. Our platform
will be equal rights, free trade and
whisky. We can't lose anything by
giving the niger q chance, aud may
make somethisg by it. Free trade will
carry the West like wild6re, and by in
serting whisky in our platform we are
certain to be all right in Arkansas and
Kentucky. Every cody shall have plenty
of whisky, and we will have US
Supreme Court that will knock the
anti-liquor laws of Maine aud Msssa-
chusetts hell, west and crooked. Just
look at it," continued this believer in a
better time coming, as he warmed up
with the subject, and with the contents
of q pint flask, which he carried in his
bosom, "just look at IL; in Boston
they won't let any man take drink.
They have deprived man of his greatest
liberty-a liberty that even Russia and
the despots of the Old World allow-the
liberty, mean, to take q drink when a
man wants to. That will never do, never
do. Our forefathers fought seven years
to establish this free Government, and
now the Radicals are subverting our lib
critics. But then il will all be right in
about FIVE years. Well have Andy in
the Presidential chair, and things will
be fixed IN TO suit u.s.
