LETTERS FROM OUR FRIENDS S
EBENsBuRa, March Is, 1869.

70 the Editors cf The AIeghanian
Andrew johnson has retired to private
life. have no disposition to review his
Presidential career It is sufficient to say
that he has disappointed every reasonable
expectation of his political supporters
He was brought into prominence, and made
viee-President, because he exhibited such
energy in battling the rebels in his own. a
southern State. He was credited with
s;ncerity in his course, and it was supposed
he was fighting for the Union on principle,
hut his subsequent course shows that ne
dealt the rebellion blows, 'not because he
loved Caesar less, but Rome more" The
aristocrats of the South who inaugu-
rated the reign of blood had no pIebeidn
afinities with A. johnson, the tailor, hence
he opposed them. AS soon as they were
defeated, however, he returns, like dog
to his vomit, to his first love, and the COM
panionship of old ideas. He never had
any afhnities with the representative men
of the Union. Moreover, like self-willeo
men of limited culture, he was dogged anC
obstinate, and refused to be advised.
His induction into Office was not of
very fattering or promising character, still
the utmost stretch of charity was exercised
BY those who had elected him to power
The honest and patriotic but tender
hearted Lincoln had been removed by the
hand Of violence, and only, as it was tho't
for the author of such sentiments a.
TRAITORS should. take back.seat1 to vim
dicate his views. Why he failed to carry
out these utterances, can only be explained
.on one of two hypothesis. He was hypo
critical and did not mean what he said, oil
he was cowardly and feared that the des-
peradoes infesting the South. would resort
to their familiar code of violence The
6rst suspicious entertained of him, after
assuming the Presidential chair, were in
his associations. A class of conservatives
. with rebel afhnities became his con6dents
. and counsellors, while the friends and
rOst intimate advisers of the lamented
Lincoln were given the cold shoulder 1
was as clear an evidence of detection a
for a temperance man to forsake the tenn
perance meeting and become hanger-on
at the bar-room. It is useless to charge that
ultra radicals, by the obnoxiousness of their
views, forced Andrew johnson beyond
the pale of the party that elevated him to
power. He was treated with Difference
aud honored to the last degree, before he
vas denounced, but all in vain. High.
minded men had too much self-respect to
be sycophantic, and he was left to his own
course; and what pitiable spectacle OF
7ain-glOry and ruined hopes does he pre-
sent as he takes his departure from power!
But yesterday, his name might have stood
against the world, now les he there, with
AOne go low to do him reverence"

Now, to the point. Isaac Crawford,
Esq, the worthy proprietor of and caterer
to the tastes of Che hungry and dry at the
"Logan House" was made the recipient by
public acclaim of a dissecting instrument
used at hotel tables at times when bovine
favors are prepared for distribution to
hungry people.
The favor was accepted by Mr. Craw-
ford, who returned his thanks in manner
peculiar to himself, viz, cleverly and
kindly. He promised that he would re-
member his friends for the kindness done
him on the occasion, and that they would
hear from him after the "fish" season was
over.
Mr.. Crawford's observations and hints
were duly appreciated by his townpeople,
who have known and respected him so
long. 1t was among the most pleasing
and amusing features of the fair just
closed. QUIs.
MEMoRANDA.-Theb blue bird and the
robin paid us visit on Sunday, but
snow-storm the same night caused them
to go back whence they came. .Blairs-
vile had mad dog last week. It was
killed. On Saturday afternoon week,
man named John Dorsch, of Cherryhill
township, Indiana county, was killed in
sudden ard unexpected manner. He had
visited Indiana, and was on his way home,
riding in wagon, when the wagon jolted
and threw him off, the wheels crushing
him in such a manner as to cause his al
most instant death. The first shad of the
season were in our market last week. "A
young man named Wagner was drowned
in Sewickly township, Westmoreland coun-
ty, on Monday week. The fair in aid of
the Ebensburg Catholic church closed on
Saturday evening, after a run of two
weeks We understand that about 81, 900
were realized. "A fire in Punxsutawney
last week destroyed the store-room of Mr..
Rosenberger, and its contents. .Pittsburg
has the meanest man. He has brought
suit against his brothers estate for time
alleged to have been lost in attending said
brothers funeral. See advertisement of
dissolution of partnership between Messrs.
G. +. & T. S. Robinson. j Johnstown has
a literary association. On Thursday Of
last week, an old lady, named Matthias,
living with her daughter and a small
grandchild en- the outskirts of Somerset,
during the temporary absence of her
daughter accidentally set fire to her clo-
thing, and was literally roasted before as
sistance could arrive. She died on the
following night. Gilbert Hogle, of Milf.
fin county, had his arm broken the other
day by being thrown by mule. Through
tickets to all points west are now sold at
/ Cresson station. THE Republicans of
Huntingdon county talk of adopting the
Crawford county system of making nomi-
nations. Somebody in Blair county has
discovered that iron furnaces emit, with
the waste about the stacks, considerable
quantity of zinc, which is worth $15 Or $40
per ton.
