Tlie Paris Journals comment at some
length on President Johnson’s 22d of Feb

clares his policy to be retrograde, wftilo
Avenir affirms-tliat thePresidenl’s firm and
resolute conduct has quite disarmed the
combinations oftlie extreme parties, but is
apldauded by tlie iiuiss of tj|0 people, who
willingly aftbrd their approval to bold 'and
decisive measures, .The Debats-expresses
itself in these terms:
“Whatever may have been tlte-mobility
of Mr. JolmsQii’s policy either before his ele
vation to tlm Presidency or since, it is eer-
ttihi that at tl\ii» moment lie is defending
with, far more intelligence than his adversa
ries the true interest of the Union. The
war was undertaken by tho Xytli against
the Kouth, not only in the name of liberty
against slavery, but for the security of the
Ameriraii Union. Cant'*, -re who contested
then so energetically and legitimstly the
right of tlie Confederates to secede ftom t he
Union, now without flagrant contrailietien
deny them the right to. re-enter H ? After
the frightful wnr which lias soprofoimdly
injured tho country, the United Kt:\tei can
lutro no more pressing duty than flint of re-
eonstrncting that unity, which is the found-
ation und strength of tin ie |svwer unit infill
[Mice. To oppose the plans fyr that purpost
pursued by tlie Executive power—toexeimlo
tty sm-eial .laws tlie representatives of tlie
South—is it nut in reality to prolong the
state of war, anil to peryetuate dissensions
and hostilities which every effort should he
made to efface? Wi'tliout iffiubt this work
is difficult, and the lately rebellious Ktates
ought to re-enter tlie Union only under eili-
cneious guarantees against new nurture*;
hut it is not by a system of absolute exclu

The statement published that Governor

Senators in.the city—Sharkev'of Mississip

Hotr Bishop Polk was Killed.
The following account of tlie death of tliis
brave man is%opied from the Xew Orleans
correspondent of tho X. Y. Times, the wri
ter of which says, lie received the statement
from Bishop Polk’s Inspector General : *
It seems that Gens. Joe Johnston, Polk
and Hardee, accompanied by Gen. Jackson,
oftho cavalry, and an escort of staft-officcrs,
had ridden out iu front ol Hates’ lino to ex
amine a position, thought to he snitablc for
the ’Washington Artillery. The horses
were made fast at the foot of the hill, and
the-party ascended to the crown. Here
they .were the initials to an “abattis,” with
several eminisures, rendering the plheo very
much exposed. Onr own guns were less
than eight hundred yards in front. There
lmd been little desultory firing during lin
early hours oftlie day, but tliis had ceased
some tinfti before the group of officers began
their recqiinyivance. This was prolonged
to a much greater extent than usual, and
glided into n general and animated conver
sation, all oftlie officers being gathered into
a knot and using their hands and glasses
with a freedom bespeaking rank and inter
est, The gunners upon onr side could i«ut
fail to see them plhinlv, and while they
were being observed, deliberately returned
jhe observation, with full time for catcula-
djiistiiicnt. The party seemed to
ir exposed situation, although
e ennooneers who had been at
work upon the little tier of breastworks,
pointed out to them the accuracy of our
shots.' Presently a spherical case shell was
discharged from our battery, and exploded
directly above the beads of Gens. Johnston,
Polk, Hardee and Jackson, all of whom fell
to the ground to avoid the concussion or
fragments. It was then proposed to divide,
mill the different officer* separated to sniff
courses as'were at hand. Gen. Polk select
ed a very secure shelter; but,becomingim-
patiidA and anxious to see the range of lire
more accurately, be stepped out upon the
brow and was intently gazing out across tlie
country—his arms folded and his k*lt side
presented—when a thrfe-iuch round shot
from a steel rifle (aumou struck the elbow,
eniririiig both arms, and pnssi'jg through
the heart, a portion of the cli£8| and stom
