Wo lcturn from tho Lynchburg (Virginia) pti-
l?ors thnt tLo reception of ox-Prenidont JobUBon
in Lynchburg on ThurH&iy was very enthuui-
ustir. A oomraittec appointed by a public meet
ing of the citizons met tho ex-Prenulunt fit Olntr-
lotteHvillc, wluTe an innnenao conroiu'Ke of per
sons, consisting of Univysity students and citi
zens, bad assembled to greet the cx-Prosidont.—
From tho Lynolibuvg.U/v/bdan wc mulic the fol
lowing extracts;
At CharlotteBVjUo Mr. Johnson wan bailed
with shouts by the crowd, and was conducted by
a committed io thn porch of the Central Hotel,
where ho responded to the demonstration in ono
of tho happiest speeches of his life. After the j
speech, which lasted some liftoeu ortwqnty min
utes, Mr. Johnson was escorted into the hotel, j
where ho partook of a repast which had been ;
provided for him. The train left Charlottesville j
amid tlie shouts of tile multitude, to whom the
ex-Presideut waved Ids adieu.”
The trip to Lynchburg was a very pleasant j
one. Mr. Johnson was exceedingly sociable and
agreeable, as w«fe the members of, his family and
suite. They all conversed freely and pleasantly j
with the gentlemen of the committee, aud seem
ed to be gratified at tlie attention shown them. |
On urriviug at Lynchburg, Mr. Johnson was ;
enthusiastically greeted at tub depot, and con- j
vcyed in an open carriage to the Norvell House, j
Thu route was lined with spectators, and the !
windows of the houses wero thronged with ladies, i
who waved their welcome to our distinguished !
guest. ITe acknowledged the compliment by re
peatedly raising hi*s hut, and bowing to the rigid j
and left? A largo crowd at the hotel called Mr. j
Johnson out, and he. made a speech, in which j
he thanked tho people,' riii<1*finid he was on his |
way to his homo in Tennessee, where he would j
go into retirement.
At night a banquet, was given at the Norvcll
House. Thu diuiug was handsomely decorated, J
and among tho inscriptions was one, conspicu
ous in evergreen letters, “Andrew Johnson, the |
Patriot.” Hon. Thomas »S. Locoek presided j
over the feast*. Thu regular toasts were to Mr. j
JomiHon: to the President of the United SLalcs;
to the United Stub's; to Senator Patterson, of
Tennessee; and to Virginia.
Tho following was the toast to the President:
His excellency Andrew Johnson, ex-Prcsident !
of tho United States: the olmiupmn of the Con- I
nUtation, whose name will ever me held dear, |
aud whose great fame will ever be cherished by >
every American patriot! At the close of a bloody I
and exasperated war of sections, when bad uion !
wore striving to prolong the evil passions grow- |
ing out of it, and to advance through these their |
own aspiring and Hellish schemes, it was his no- 1
ble odort and ambition to allay these disorders, j
to bury in oblivion the troubles and contests of ;
the past, to inspire national confidence and har
mony, and to establish in all sections a real and
honorable peace! Every tribute of gratitude and
every badge of honor lire justly due one who j
j thus sacrificed.personal ambition, and disdained !
j unlawfully conferred powers, in behalf of prin-
| cinlo, duty, and country. May a future crowded ■
; with blessings succeed a psu>t crowded with hou- ;
j ors; a fitting reward for labors exerted in de-
; fence of the rights and liberties of tho people!
I Prolonged applause followed the reading of j
i the toast. When it subsided, Mr. Johnson rose j
and responded. He said, substantially, (we j
j camiot pretend to report him fully or accurately
j at the lutu hoijr at which wo write:)
: (T ontlemen, in rising to acknowledge th • honor }
paid me, it is not for the purpose of making an i
I address, but simply to tender my thanks lor the ,
' compliment, and for tho cordial welcome which j
| I have received here. Being now but a private
citizen, I have the right to accept, the civilities of I
| my f. ll iw-citizons. and none ever tendered me ;
j lmvc afforded me more gratification or pride than
those in which I participate here and now. j
In allusion to the latp struggle, I have little or I
' nothing tit say; bnfcjtas a ■private* citizen, there !
j can be no objection to my expressing the feelings ;
i of conscious pride which 1 have felt within the j
! past two weeks at the words of approbation j
which have come to me.
j Much has boon said in reference to abolition
| and emancipation and freedmen. But lie would
l call attention to the greatest* ease of omumupu- ;
‘ tion that had taken place since the war. You |
i will not charge it to egotism when I say that I I
• have been for the last lour years the greatest !
I slave in the United States. I now rejoice that 1
stand forth a fre&Jman. I tlumk God that I am I
i free, and am permitted to stand here,in your j
j midst in the enjoyment of that freedom. And, j
I follow-citizens, in being emancipated from the I
j arduous duties of the last four years, in step- j
| ping into the ranks of tho people and helping |
I them to bear the burdens which I have not been j
j able to remove from their shoulders, it affords
I mo more pleasure than if Iliad been inaugurated I
a second time over the ruins of a violated Con- [
stitution. [Great applause.] |
When I camo into power, ere tho passions of j
war had subsided, it was my high aspiration to
restore peace and harmony to our distracted
country. I commenced first at tho point at
which yon accepted tlie terms of the surrender
—hoping thnt by a kind and conciliatory policy
tho seceded States would boon assume their for
mer position in the Union. My object was ns
speedily as possible to restore peace and harmony
and close up the breach which divided tho coun
try. Up to the Thirty-Ninth Congress the work
had boon well nigh completed. Senators and
Itcpresentntives from the South wero knocking
for admittance. But there again the breach be
gan to widen. I will not go into the particulars
of whnt ensued. The difficulties are familiar io
you all. The events have passed into history,
and by it the future will judge. But what I have
failed to do as President I will still eudeavor to
do as a private citizen—aid in bringing . about
peace aud good feeling to the country.
I nmy not bo as hopeful as some. I have hop
ed that the country would bo saved, and sHll do
not despair. Mv confidence in the wisdom and
virtue of the people is strung. I have an abid
ing trust that the time will come when this ty-
ranicul power will disintegrate, and the Consti
tution and law£ assume thuir wonted sway.—
True, when I looked to the great apathy with
which the people regarded the acts of Congress,
it was more alarming in my mind than anything
that had happened. But T hope to see that ap
athy give way to a stem awaking to tho perils
and duties of the hour—when tho people will
riso in their power and vindicate their violated
rights.
I repeat that I have enjoyed more real satis
faction in the past two weeks than in the four
years of my administration.
Mr. Johnson then spoke of the aggressions of
Congress on the other branches ot the Govern
ment, and its usurpations—exercising powers,
said he, which kings would tremble to wield.—
Ho also alluded to the enormous expenses of the
Government., and the burden of taxation.which
the people were called oil to bear. In this con
nection.ho said, .corruption, permeates every; de
partment of the' Government; and in -retiring
from office he felt that be might exclaim:
•j When vfco piwffls and Ira pious men bear sway,
The i>o*t of honor Is tho private station."
In rctiriring to my rural home, I slmll keep in
mind the advice of Cato to his son, to • ‘ pray for
ltomo.” If I can do no more I will pray for my

Mr. Johnson returned his warm and hearty
flmnks to them for the kindness and courtesy
which ho hud received during his sojourn in
tlie city, and assured them that he lmd never
been more agreeably and cordially entertained
in Ids life.

The stockholders met at Nowimu, Ga.. last
week, at which time Capt. A. J. Whit**. M r . W.
Ohupman, J.ohnL Whituker, Thomas A Grace, B.
M. Milner, Smith aud Gump, were chosen dnoi^
tors. Capt. White was elected President of the
Board.
Tho original stock of tho company was cut
down to fifty cent.; in the dollar, (bulore it was
not worjtli live cents,) and arrangements made to
commence work upon the road at once.
The Macon «fc Western and Brunswick roads,
each, took stock to tho amount of $150,OGU.—
The Central road will also take u large amount
of stock at some future time. With a good
President, an excellent Board, and plenty of
money, tho l oad will bo pushed forward rapidly.
We learn with pleasure that the Macon &
Brunswick luado, in order to commence opera
tions immediately, have generously tendered
tlie use of cross-ties and iron without charge,
only requiring the return of whnt may be used.
The roadbed is complete and ready for the
ties and iron nearly forty miles, su Ihut, with all
tlie advantages at hand, the iron horse may safely
be set down as making its way directly to Now-
nan by the first, ol November next. Tlie skep
tical rimy dispel their doubts, and go to work lor
tho road, for it. is a “fixed’’ fact—a reality.—
Croakers and evil prophets may hang their harps
upon the willows, for the Savannah, Griffin and
North Alabama Itoad will be built.
Tho Star considers it a certainty that the
“ Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama Railroad
will be constructed and that speedily. The
route is front Griffin to Xewnan, thence by way
of Guutersville to Deentur. The Star Says that
the original stock has been cut down to fifty
cents iu tho dollar; thnt tlie Macon and Western
and the Brunswick loads have each taken stock
to the amount of v.150,000 and that the Central
llaiproad will take a large amount of stock here
after. The road bed is now ready for a distance
of nearly forty miles, and it is contemplated
that the cars may be running, from Griffin to
New nan by the first, of November next. The
distance from (Trillin to Decatur will be 23;iA
miles: estimated average cost per mile, equipped
$23,033.

The inuguitude and difficulty under which tho
voice of JTtV country calls me, being tfitffloient
to awaken in the wisest and nidsf experienced
of her citizens a ctis.nistfui scrutiny into his
qualifications, could not but overwhelm with
despondence one who, inheriting inferior en
dowments from nature, nnd unprnctieed in the
duties of civil-administration, ought to bo pe
culiarly conscious of his own diffidence.
And General Washington laid been a member
of the Continental Congress and had presided
over the convention that framed tho Constitu
tion.
Mr. Adams said:
Un this subject it might better become mo to
be silent, or speak with auThrenco.
And Mr. Adams had passed his life in connec
tion wi li civil affairs.
Mr. Jefferson said:
1 avail my sell of the presence of that portion
of my lellow-citizens which is lure assembled to
express my grateful thanks for the favor with
which they are pleased to look toward me, to
deemre a sincere consciousness that tho task iu
above my talents, and that I upprouh it with
those anxious and awful presentiments which
tho* greatness of the charge and Weakness of my
powers so justly inspire.
And Mr. Jeffuioon was tho greatest statesman
"fids «ao.
Mr. Madison thus expressed himself:
I repair to the ]>ost assigned me with no other
discouragement than what springs from my own
inadequacy to its high duties. If I do not bi.ik
under the weight of this deep conviction, it is
because, efr.
And Mr. Madison was a distinguished poli
tician and Htuluoinuu, uml diplomatic, and
hud taken the most prominent part in framing
the Con. tituHon.
Mr. Monroe remarked:
Conscious of my o .vn deficiency, I cannot en
ter on these duties without gieut* anxiety lbr the
result.
And Mr. Monroe was recognized as a man
who, from his long experience and iiis rip*' po
litical education, was eminently fit to be trusted
with the conduct of public affairs.
Gen. Grant in his inaugural address delivered
on the 4th of March, 18(59, says;
“The responsibilities of the position I feel,
but accept them without lbar. The office 1ms
come to mo unsought. I commence its duties
untrammelled."
And (leneral Grant is a soldier trained to the
maxims ot the military art, oirid used to tho ex
ercises of despotic military authority, but with
110 more practical knowledge of the workings
of civil government than it lie had been bred
among the Esquimaux or the Fejee Xblanders.—
Yet Gen. Grant accepts responsibilities without
fear which filled Washington with despondency
and Jefferson with anxious and awful presenti
ments. To him the difficulties of the Presiden
tial office are obstacles to bo cleared away by
bold assault, and the Government machine a
fortr ss on which ho proposes to nioVe without
delay. This sort of conduct iy very much like
that ot au engineer who should undertake to re
pair a steam engine by smashing it to pieces.—
Hj would remove the obstacle to his working, no
doubt, but lie would destroy the machine.

Pendleton and the South.
Tho editor of the Montgomery Mail has re
cently enjoyed an interview with Geo. IL Feu-
diclou, whoso name aud fame shine like boacon-
lights in these dark days. Among other lopicii
the negro question was discussed. Tho sub
joined extract will convey a clear idea of Mr.
Pendleton's present opinions:
"Mi/ce no promises to the ncjro. If you mak9
him projnitri you thill he In honor hound to terrp
faith tcith himKeep aloof from that entangling
alliance. The questions before you demand no
pledges from vou to tlie negro race. Do not be
impatient if the return to a white man’s govern
ment should bo delayed longer than you expect
A low years arc noihing in the lifts of a govern
ment. Look how the years of Cromwell and
NupoLon Were crowded with new and unexpected
events.
“ At this point I suggested to Mr. Pendleton
that impatience and desperation, no doubt, had
driven some low prominent gentlemen of our
State to accept tlio existing state of affairs tu %
thing to be maintained and sir ported, and In
that connection alluded <0 a strong expression
made use of by Mr. Toombs iu a conversation
lust summer with General Gordon. The remark
of Toombs was: ‘Gordon, the truth is Unit tho
Radicals bare accumulated their outrages with
such startling rapidity that they have fatigued
the indignation of our people.'
“Mr. Pendleton Mailed at the force of tho
apothegm, and continued:
“ * Do not stiekle upou questions of polioy.—
Your people need to stand united, uiul you
should not permit mere questions of policy to
divide you. Of course I, who am sitting here iu
my office in Ohio, with all my rights of person

When it was announced that Gen. Grant had
appointed Gen. Lougstroet to the office of Sur
veyor of the port of New Orleans, wo at once
concluded that the President was apprised'of liis
appointee’s having been once indicted for smug
gling, and therefore thought him the better
qualified to detect others who might engage in
similar practices.
About the year IRfiu, as we are informed,
Longstreet being a Major in tlie United States
army aud in command of a military post on tho
American side of tho Rio Grande, was indicted
in the District*Court of the United Stater for tho
Territory of New Mexico for the crime off smug
gling; but, when the United States Marshal
went to tho fort to execute tho process of said
court, the gates worn closed against him. and lie
had to return without executing it. The mar
shal having reuojtedthe.se facts tu the then Gov
ernor of tho Territory, lie made application to
General Garland, who commanded that military
district, fro have Longstreet surrendered-to tho
civil authoriti’0 for trial; but as Longstreet was
a relative of the General lie evaded the applica
tion of the Governor, and ordered a court of in
quiry to investigate the matter. This court,
composed of his brother officers, found Long-
street guilty, but the General disapproved of the
finding of tlie court, ami the matter was settled by
his giving a pledge to the civil officers that
there should he no more smuggling on the part
of the military.
Hence we infer that Grant, knowing that
Longstreet had some knowledge of holes through
which offenders might slip, thought him a .suit
able hand to stop them, and therefore appointed
him to this responsible office, notwithstanding
lie had been a Confederate officer.—Courier-
Journal.

Important to Owfers of M.uitilt? Quarries in

connected with the department of Agriculture,

sioner with the duty of making a collection of
specimens of all tho varieties of marble in the
United States, that is desired by the department 1
that all those engaged iu the quarrying of mar

directed to the Commissioner of Agriculture,
Washington D. C. The express charges upon
such specimens will be paid by the Department.
The specimens should bo six inches long four
wide, aud one in thickness, and polished. A '
description should accompany, stating the loca

as tho extent of the deposit, when discovered,
if now worked, etc. As fast as they are received
tho specimens will be arranged iu a case for ex

All tite Stock Taken.—With much gratifica
tion we are able to state that the additional $450,-
000 of stock asked foa by the Eaglo and Phooniz
MniinfeoturihgCompany of this city has all been
taken. This shows, in an eminent degree, tliat the
people of the South are earnestly seeking wealth
and independence in the right direction. Tho
purpose of tho company is to erect another mill
as large as tho present one, iu which are now
running over 9,000 spindles, and crowd it with
machinery. The new building can be put up
for much loss tuan the present one. Before
many months this immense establishment will
have in operation some 20.090 spindles, consum
ing some. 20 bales of cotton per day and many
thousand pounds of wool, nnd manufacturing a
variety of goods. That it will pay largely, the
experience of the past fully demonstrates.—
Southern mills can manufacture goods at 15 per
cent, lose than those of the . North. Buoeess,
ample and large, we wish this gigantic establish
ment.—Columbus Sun.

ho accepts the* situation.
President Grant’s father is recovering from
tho injuries caused by his late fall. Wo hope
that the son will recover from those causetf by

Some even of tho Radicals arc disgusted with
President Grant’s “ nepotism." They think that
ho has been reading old Cornclious iNepos.
Tho Radical organs ask, who is Boric ? And
;hen they proceed to tell who he is. But it has
taken them a good while to get the information.
President Grant had no relative on hand to
take the Cincinnati postoftice, and so he gave it
to his old father’s next-door neighbor, a resident
of Covington.
There is good reason to think that President
Grant, without pleasing anybody, has displeased
himself.
The editor of the Atlanta New Era is a raging
“ Bard," and his paper is his lyre.
If the coming man and the coming woman come

We are afraid that Grant exhausted ull his iu-
depend nee and energy before his inauguration
in preparing to bo tremendously independent
and energetic after it. He seems to have adopt
ed as his model the fellow who took a three-
miles run to jump over a gate, but, when he ar
rived at it, sunk helplossly down, unable to raise
a foot.

"There is growing up in various parts of India

—a Church of God, a perpetual Theistic faith,
which inherits the grand affirmations of the old ‘
Hindoo Scriptures, yet is not at all bound there
by. It blends the old mystic ferver with the
purest practical morality, aims at the religious
aud social regenerating of India, and roaches
its spiritual hands across the seas of race, just
as the electric wire is encircling tho material
globe, to that free religion which lias come out
of the Christian as it itself lias irom the Bram-
inical dogma, on this common ground. It is
from such elements as these that the futuro ro-
ligion of the civilized world is to grow.
Georgia Ahead of New England.—Said Mr,
Sprague the other duy in a speech iu the Senate:
“A few weeks since, in order to understand
something of the condition of the South, I vis
ited Georgia, and naturally was invited to in
spect a cotton mill. In the city of Augusta, Ga.,
is a cotton mill that to-day will surpass, in the
success of its operations, the best one in New
England; and the secret of that success lies in
the turn o * ore roll where the cotton is delivered
on the spindle, it turning at one hundred and
fifteen turns to the minute, where others in New
England, and even by the side of it, turn ninety
or orie hundred."
Jo:>itua Hill and the Thihune.— Some days

paragingly of Senator Hill hanging around Wash
ington aud elegraphing home to have the State
go iu such a way as to advance hi$ own interest.
Mr. Hill took the matter to heart and address
ed to Mr. Greedy the following letter oi remon
strance:
Sir;—In your paper of Saturday last, in refer
ring to the action of the Georgia Legislature on
the adoption of the Fifteenth Constitutional
Amendment, you make wlnit I consider an un
generous allusion to myself. You describe me
as hanging by the eyelids beforo the doors of
tho Senate at Washington," Ac. If you mean
by thi-.j expression that I vox the Senate as n
body with my presence, or ns individuals by my
calls or my letters, endeavoring to procure ad
mission as a .Senator, it is an unwarrantable as
persion.
I have not spent an hour in nil with the Sen
ate or Senators since the recess in December,
and but ittle time before tliat. I did, about the
1st of December, call on Senator Sherman to re
quest him to present my credentials to the Sen
ate. And although invited bv several Senators
to visit them, and fully apjirociate the civility. I
have thought it more dignified aud independent
not to do so. They will not charge me with ob
sequiousness. I think r understand whRt is
duo to my own solf-Tespecfc. It will bo time
enough to instruct mein maunero when Senators
shall complain of my importunities.
As for my “ telegraph? g solemnly," or in
any other vein, what consequences were likely
to ensue to my colleague and myself—by
the refusal of the Legislature in adopting
the uiuomlmeut—and what Congress would do
with Georgia, and liow soon it would act I will
merely say I have not ventured to predict the
action* of Congress in relation to Georgia or any
thing else. 1 have my opinion as to the course
to be pursued by Congress to secure the best in
terests oi both Governments and people, but,
while tho present circumstances exist, I cannot
expoct it to influence others, and therefore do
not urge it. Rsspectfully, youro,

Trrr Fruit Crop.—Several gentlemen with
whom we have conversed noon tlio subject, state
that in certain localities tlie fruit has been killed
outright, whilst in others it has been injured but
slightly. About one-half the crop of last season
was killed, which proved to be a blessing, as at
first there was a superabundant budding, and
enough was left to insure a huge yield of well
matured fruit. This was particularly tho case
in regard to peaches. Hope it may be tho cass
