OF YESTERDAY.
POPULARITY OP PRESIDENT JOHA
SON.
Perhaps uo President lias come into (he
exercise of his authority with less preposses
siou in hi 9 favor, or under circumstances
more unfavorable to the growth of populari
ty than President Johnson. He had not even
the prestige of the successful candidate of a
popular election; he could not command
even the sycophantic clamor that arises to
greet the incoming of anew government;
the country had not been suffering under the
misrule of a bad administration from which
it was now joyfully freeing itself to receive
the new choice of the majority. None of
these auspicious circumstances attended the
secession of Andrew Johnson to the Presi
dency. His attainment of Presidential hon
ors was simply the result of tne natural
routine of our law’s; the people were
still absorbed in mourning their ter
rible bereavement ; his ptedecessor was
one who ranks second to Washington,
only in the love and admiration of the peo
ple. The inauguration took place in a pri
vate apartment, in the presence of perhaps
a score of people, and the new President took
his seat surrounded only by a body
guard, while the eyes ol the people were
strained after those who pursued the
assassin and their “hearts were in the cof
fin” with their President, as they still called
him. Under such an unhappy combination ot
events did President Johnson assume his
trying position.
Nor w r as this all. Besides these negative
disadvantages bearing upon Mr. Johnson,
there was even a positive distiust of his abil
ity, and of the rectitude of his intentions. A
thirst for revenge, a subjection to partisan
prejudices and purposes, and a headstrong
will were so persistently attributed to his
character that it began to be widely doubted
if the new 7 President wisdom,
moderation, and singleness of purpose requi
site for the task of reconstructing the shat
tered fabric of the Nation.
A week of official action had scarcely
elapsed before an entire revolution in the
popular feeling with regard to President
Johnson was witnessed. His responses to
the addresses w hich were presented to him
from all quarters so numerously, indicated so
lull and just au appreciation of his position, and
his proclamations set forth so discreet and
temperate a policy that from all quarters were
received congratulations and the most cheer
ful acquiescence to his authority. The South,
which had been looking for the most rigorous
measures from him, have been disappointed
in every instance w here a display of the tem
per and tyranny attributed to him might
have been expected; the loyal masses of the
North have rejoiced at the wisdom, firmness
and mildness with which he has dealt with
the vexed questions of amnesty and recon
struction. Few* disparage President Johnson
whose disparagement is not lather compli
mentary than otherwise.

in gteul haste. Roddy” the Collector and
Depositary of the C. S. A., since he left Sa

Command of Brig. Gen. Hazen, attacked and
carried this important work ; its garrison at
‘the time was one huudred and fitly men, and
its commander was Major George W. Ander
son, jr. The loss of the command of Major
Anderson was forty killed and wounded;
Clinch s Light Battery, had Lieut. Hayard
killed, Capt. Clinch and Lieut. Win P.
Shirm, wounded ; Company E, Georgia Re
serves, had Capt. Morrison wounded in both
legs. Gen. Hazen acknowledged the gal
lantry of this small garrison; the bravery
here shown was worthy of a better cause.
Fort McAllister is situated at Genesis Point
in Bryan couuty, Georgia, a few miles above
the mouth of the Great Ogeechee river. When
Savannah w r as beseiged the post was of great
importance, Gen. Sherman knew' this, and
be sent the gallant Hazen to capture it; com
manding the Ogeechee river, it prevented
Sherman from supplying his army from the
Atlautic. Maj. Geo. W. Anderson, Jr., the

upon the restoration of the U. S. Mail fa
cilities.
The Gov. Titour Disaster.— Six dead
bodies have recently been discovered in the
Savannah river at different points below
where the Gov. Troup was burned a fort
night since. All colored persons, save one.
Burial of the dead at the Wilderness
Battle Field.— The government yesterday
despatched five hundred men, with iutreneli
rneut tools and coffins to the battle-fields of
the Wilderness, for the purpose of decently
interring the remains of all soldiers exposed
to view, of which there are quite a number.
Released from the Old Capitol. —Sever-
al parties imprisoned on suspicion of compli
city in the conspiracy have been released
from the old Capitol, together with some
witnesses in the assassination case, also con
fined there. •
General Grierson, the famous raider, has
been assigned to the command of the national
cavalry in the Department of the Gulf. Gen.
Canby has turned over a portion of his cav
alry to General Sheridan,
The Shenandoah Valley. —According to
accounts from the Shenandoah Valley, the
people there have gladly settled down to the
changed condition of affairs.
More Piracy. —We tiud the annexed most
curious paragraph in the Northern papeis.—
it seems unlikely to be true : %
“A correspondent of the Nassau Guardian
of the 10th of May tells a strange story of
outrages alleged to have been committed by
tlie rebel pirate Parr off Inagua, which, how
ever, later Nassau advices do not confirm.—
This account states that Parr captured the
bark Lizzy, from Cuba, set her on fife, left
all on board to save themselves in the small
boats or be burned or drowned, and sailed
• away, telling them that lie intended to drown
a thousand before the war was over. It. is
added that some of the Lizzy’s passengers
were believed to have been burned or drown
ed.”
Curious Correspondence? —The follow
ing statement is almost too strange to Use true,
but if it can be proved it will place the
Messrs. Woods, Seymours & Cos., in “a pe
culiarly perplexing predicament:”
Stranqe On Dit. —It is reported the gov
ernment has discovered a large batch of let
ters from Fernaudo Wood, Ben Wood, the
Seymours, and various other persons in the
North, among the rebel archives seized in
Richmond. It Is further said that these let
ters, when published, will staitle the com
munity, showing as they will the complicity
of the writers in the devilish work of the re
bellion.—N. Y. Herald, 1 Oth .
A Seasonable Hint.—A person leaving a
warm room, and going into a colder, or into
the open air, should carefully close the lips
tor a few minutes, uutil he has become, as it
were, acclimatized to the colder atmosphere,
aud breathe through the uostrils alone, by
which the cold air is made to traverse the
long, warm nasal passage before it reaches
the windpipe aud vocal organs ; and its tem
perature being thus raised, one common
mode of •‘catching cold” is avoided. Most
persons, upon leaving a warm church or hot
concert room, immediately open their mouths
to discuss the merits of those they have just
heard,and tuauy.a severe cold is taken. It is
equally common, but still worse, • for a pub
lic speaker to do so ; for his throat is more
heated from his recent exertions, and he
m«y, and often does, become hoarse for a
month by such apparently trilling neg
lect.
Strange Couple. —ln the lower part of Ibis
city, says the Augusta Transcript, reside a
man and his wife who have not spoken to
each other for the past eight years. What
reuders their conduct singular is, that not
withstanding this tact they occupy the same
room, and move along as if there were no
cloud belweeu them.
Government Stores Returned. —We learn
that one hundred and fifty boxes of medical
stores, belonging to the ••rebels,” have been
eturned to the authorities m this city, in pur
suance of the call issned by the command
ant.—Augusta Tnmsciij.t .
Thu ReV M D (to* in tii« Cote
tnunwealth this !tgi*«*blr sketch of tb® late
performance of Fernando Woad In London.
Mr. Wood left for Paris immediately after
the play, and, as wc learn, took no part in
the meeting called by Mr. Adams, our minis
ter to England:
“You may judge of the scorn with which
Americans in London read, in Thursday
morning's papers, the following notice;
“‘Sir,- I shall be much obliged if you
will state that a meeting of tbe Americans in
London will be held at this hotel to morrow,
at 12 o’clock, with reference to some appro
priate expression of sentiment concerning
tbe lamentable intelligence from the United
States.
“ 4 Very truly yours,
44 4 Fernando Wood.
44 ‘Grosvknor Hotel Pimlico, April 26.’ ”
“It was seen through ia a moment. A
goodly number of loyal Americans went
there determined to prevent this sneaking
effort of Wood to be tbe American represen
tative aud paragon of patriotism here (where
be lias been for two weeks), and there was
in the room ready for use a certain message
of bis recommending the very proper and
praiseworthy destruction of tbe United
States as a good moment for tbe secession
of. New zAork City. When we bad all
been seared in silence for a few moments,
a model waiter of tbe aristocratic Grosvenor
Hotel came to the door and proclaimed, • ‘Gen
tlemen ! the Honorable Fernando Wood!”
As tiiat sleek and oily individual walked
in, slow and stately, some individual began
a clap with bis bauds—whereupon he was
utterly covered up aud bidden away beneath
spontaneous hushes and hisses from every
throat. Fernando caught the hurricane in
his breast, staggered a little, then went on
to the upper pari of the room. Someone
then proposed that he (Wood) should *ake
the chair, but almost before the motiou had
passed from his lip, Dr. Black, of Kentucky,
entered the door and called out; ‘Gentle
men; I have come from the residence of tbe
American minister, and have a message from
a number ol eminent Americans to those
who have gathered here-’ Dr. B. then said
that it was the opinion of Mr. Adams and the
gentlemen in consultation with him that a
general meeting of Americans should be held
in St. James s Hall on Monday evening, and
that all should reserve auy minor expression
until then. The Woodite thought that this
meeting might go on; but he was interrupted
by a call to adjourn. The next attempt was
to thank Fernando Wood for calling us to
gether : but Rev. Crammond Kennedy, sub-*
ageut with Dr. Huyne for the freedmen,
mounted a chair aud asked if Americans
needed to thank auy man for calling them
together ; whereupon tbe motion to thank
not being put, tbe crowd left the room to
Wood anc. bis friend. You may think this
manifestation ol feeling harsh; but 1 assure
you that it was.what the human nature of
lionoQible men was not able to stand, to be
hold tbe countenance of one who bad devo
ted bis life to strengthening the arm that has
covered America with devastation anil grief,
in the very hour when that arm had fillad Up
the measure of its iniquities.”

Cost of Marino a Newspaper — The

ment, which will, we fancy, open
the eyes of certain of our friends who
seem to imagine that a newspaper can be
made for nothing, and that editors and cor
respondents work without pay:
Cost of tuk War Correspondence of the
Herald. the last lour years we have

sea or laud where the services of a special
correspondent could be an advantage to the
public. Our army correspondents have, on
an average, used up or hud captured one or
two horses each. The whole cost of this
war correspondence establishment reached
during the rebellion the sum of nearly halt a
million of dollars.

Mahv* Ufm't Artr ran ffiiUiiiii »W|tu
liable of his ttiaity high intellectual qualities
Rod with a tender appreciation of tbe impor
tance of small people, Baron liebig devotes
a special .article In an English Scientific peri
odical to tbe description of anew article of
diet wbicb he conceives to be the most fitting
substitute for tbe natural nutriment for those
children whose are by circumstances robbed
of their mother s milk. It is well known that
a cow’s milk does not adequately represent
the milk of a healthy woman, and when
wbeaton flout is added, as it commonly is,
Liebig points out that, although starch be not
unfitting for tbe nourishment of the infant,
the change of it into sugar into the stomach
during digestion, imposes an unnecessary la
bor on tbe organization, which will be spared
it if tlie starch be beforehand transformed
into the soluble forms ot sugar and dextrine.
This he effects by adding to the wheaten flour
a certain quautity of malt. As wheaten flour
and malt flour contain les6 alkali than wo
man's milk, he supplies this when preparing
the soup. This “soup” may lie shortly pre
pared as follows: “Half an ounce of wheat
en flour, and an equal quantity of malt flour,
seven grains and a quarter of bi-carbonate of
potash, and one ounce of water, are to be
well mixed ; five ounces of cow s milk are
then to be added; and tbe whole put on a
gentle fire; when the mixture begins to
thicken it is removed trom the fire, stirred
during five minutes, heated and stirred again
tilt it becomes quite fluid, and finally made
to boil After the separation of the bran by
a sieve it is ready for use. By boiling it lor
a few minutes it loses all taste of the flour.
A Word on Clocks.— lngenious men of
all ages, from Archimedes, 200 years h. c., to
Wallingford, at the commencement of the
fourteenth centurv, have been cited as the
inventors of tlie clock. The fact is, that the
clock, like almost every other useful imple
ment gradually grew to perfection: one man
suggested wheel-work; another the weight
for maintaining or driving-power; another
the balance for regulating tbe expenditure of
that power; another tbe dial and hands; an
other tbe striking parts, and so on; and at
last, one man combined all together in one
machine, and gained the credit of makiug t.he
first clock. This man appears to have been
one Henry de Wick, or de Vick, who placed
a clock in tbe tower of the palace of Charles
Charles the Fifth, about tbe year 1364, which
clock is the most aucient of which there ex
ists any particular description. The princi
ples upon which it was constructed were es
sentially the same as those of the presnet day;
that is there was a moving power and a regu
tiug power. The moving power was a weight
hun£ to a cord, wouud round a barrel; the
unwinding of which, by the fall of the weight,
gave motion to a train of wheels that moved
the hands- around the dial. The regulating
power was a balance-wheel, swinging
backward and forward alter the manner of
the watch-balance, so familiar to us all.
Preof.pt and Practice. —We have been
informed that a short while since, one
of the new “schoolma’ams,’ in Savannah told
her flock of little darkies that they were just
as good as anybody—iu fact, on a par in
point of privileges with white people, aud
they had a right to protect themselves from
violence, etc. The other day, this same in
structress had occassion to wallop a good
sized ebouy urchin in her school, lor some
misdemeanor, whereupon this newly fledged
freedman, doubtless remembering her dis
sertation on “privileges,’’deliberately pitched
in—returning her blows with compound in
terest—she coming out second best. On
complaint before the Court, tlie apt pupil
was forwarded to Hilton Head.— Augusta
Transcript.
To Housekeepers. —As the.season for pies
and puddings is close at hand, we would
state for the benefit of housekeepers, that
the acid in all fruits may be neutralized by
putting a third of a tablespoonful of soda in
the fruit. It does not affect the flavour iu
the least, and it requires a less quantity of
sugar to sweeten.
The Peach was origibally a poisonous al
mond. Its fleshy paits were used to poison
arrows, and for this purpose introduced into
Prison. The transplantations and cultiva
tion, however, not only removed its poison
ous qualities, but produced the delicious
fruit that we now enjoy.
