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 $14.fi77 , 2:1 H()4 . 10,270 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 whole affair was it success, and Lynch burg has acquitted herself most creditably and genteelly in this reception and entertainment of the honored eX-Breuidcnt.

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. From the Now Now Orion:»• OivhomiL] inuuifural Contraati. FROM T1IE nUDLlME TO THE IUDICUL0U3. When Washington was inaugurated ha de clared thus j 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.

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.

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. country. *" *' Then, gentlemen, please accept my thanks for this cordial welcome aud generous hospitality.

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.

President Grant's appointments may be ex pected to increase rapidly. We sec that they are ull iu the family way. Rtokos is going to run for Governor of Ten nessee. If lie only makes as good time as he did iu the days of John Morgan and Dick Mc Cann, he will be elected. One of the necessary inquiries in regard to even’ Radical candidate for the Presidency here after will be: Has he relations enough to* fill all the offices? Why don’t certain merchants advertise? Be- dause iliuy hell nothing. Why do they sell noth ing ? Because they don’t advertise. If your name is Grant, increase and multiply with all your might, for pci sous of your name are in immense demand. Gen. Lougstroot’s cause was defeated in the war. He accepted the situation. ITe has been offered tho New Orleans Surveyorship. Again 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 his late rise.’ 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 at the name time, something may come of it. 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.

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."

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 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.
