The Presidential Journey.
Asa general principle, we are op
posed to Presidential tours, Presidential
orations, and Presidential speech
making. We think it lowers the dig
nity of that high office—the Chief Mag
istracy of the Nation, nnd sinks the
President in the politician. But there
are exceptions to every general rule;
nnd one oAhese is the preaent tour of
President Johnson through the North
ern States. He has inaugurated a
policy in reference to the reconstruc
tion of the Union, and the rehabilita
tion of the Southern States with the
Constitutional rights of which the result
of the late war has deprived them—a
policy in direct opposition to a hotly of
Radical usurpers who claim to be the
Congress of the Uuited States,and set at
defiance every principle of the Consti
tion, of right and justice. Uis policy
must be sustained by the people, or
not only is the Union destroyed, but the
last vestige of Constitutional freedom
fall with it. It becomes his duty, then,
as a patriot and statesman, to make
every sncrifice—to strain every nerve in
making his policy successful. And in
no way can he do this so well as by
going among th£ people of the North,
showing himself to them, and refuting,
personally, the, calumnies and false
hoods of his and the Nation's enemies.
By this course he will be better able
to arouse the patriotism and awaken the
now slumbering sense of justice of the
American people; and, at the same
time, ascertain the strength of our
friends and supporters at the North.
The overtures which greet him at
every city, town and station, might,
under any circumstances, be gratifying
to his personal pride and vanity; but
there is something more than mere indi
vidua! enthusiasm in them on this occa
sion. They must be taken as evidences
of popular enthusiasm and popular sup
port; and we sincerely hope that they
will be largely reduplicated and endorsed
in the approaching Fall elections.
The speeches the President on this
journey are eminently worthy of the
man. They show that he has taken a
position w hich he believes to be just and
proper, and that he has the boldness to
sustain it at any and every hazard. In
this he has our warmest support, and for
this our sincere gratitude. We rejoice,
also, that he has taken this journey, and
feel confident that its results will be
most beneficial to the whole country.
Death or Col. John Harlkston
Read. —The Charleston Daily Notes of
yesterday says: “This gentleman, who
had arrived in Charleston but three or
tour days ago, on his way to Columbia
to attend the extra session of the Legis
lature, died suddenly on Friday night, of
disease of the heart. Col. Read repre
sented Georgetown District for many
years in the House of Representatives of
this State with great ability and untiring
zeal, and was always regarded as a man
of the highest character and influence
by the members of that respectable body.
When the State called upon her sons for
help during the late revolution, he nobly
responded, and went out as the captain
o r a company, and at the close of the
war was one of the field officers of his
regiment. In private life he was urbane,
hospitable, generous and kind, being
one of those who had always been looked
upon as belonging to that class known
as ‘Carolina gentlemen,’ and who are de
creasing rapidly by death. He has left
a family to deplore his untimely loss,
and many friends who will sincerely re
gret his death.”
Another Batch or M. D’s.—The fol
lowing named gentlemen compose the
graduating class of the Atlanta Medical
College for this year. The commence
ment exercises took place on Friday
last: R. B. Anderson, R. S. Cameron,

GRANITE
Texas Senators. —Hon. David G.
Burnutt and 0. M. Roberts have been
chosen United States Senators from
Texas. Judge Burnett is a native of
New Jersey, but in early life emigrated
to the Southwest. He was the first
President of the Republic si Texas,
and is now far advanced in years.
During the war he remained at his
home in Texas, bnt after peace hfid
been declared, went North as a Commis
sioner to intercede with President John
son for the releaso of Jefferson Davis.
He is highly esteemed as a gentleman,
and his designation to this place indi
cates a conciliatory spirit on tho part of
the Texans. Judge B. is on a visit to
h?s friends in Newark, New Jersey. Mr.
Roberts, his colleague, is a gentleman
of iutluence, nnd a strong cjuservative
man.
Body of a Female Soldier Found.
—The Petersburg Index says the grave
diggers at the Crater, have unearthed)
a short distance in front of that famous
place, the body of a white woman,
dressed in Federal uniform. The body,
when found, was in an excellent state of
preservation—the bust especially was
perfect. The features, pallid with the
hue of death, revealed the delicate cast
of her woman’s face, and her hair,
though ent short, possessed a gloss and
softness which alone might have ex
cited a suspicion of her sex. She had
been shot through the head. She was
carefully placed into one of the new
coffins, provided for her stern comrades,
and taken off with them to be buried
amongst them.
Tilting Hoops in the Cars. —Even
Madamo Demorest’s Mirror of Fash
ions, for September, whose orthodoxy
no lady will question, is disgusted with
the “tilters,” when they come to be
used in the cars. Hear what it says:
If anything had been required to give
the much-abused tilting hoops their
death-blow, it would have been fouhd
in the mortifying inconveuience to
which they have subjected ladies travel
ling in the cars. In the narrow space
between the*rows of seats it was impos
sible to prevent them from catching at
every step, and therefore half a dozen
ladies, each hurrying with the tradi
tionary little box, big box, carpet-bag,
and bundle in hand, to get a seat,
would all at ouce come to a dead lock,
unable to move without leaving part of
their raachiucry behind, and unable to
extricate themselves with their hands
full of packages. Certainly there will
have to be some change in hooped
skirts before another travelling season.
Rust. —The Columbus Sun says,
since the recent rains, rust lias made
its appearance in cotton. Much has
been ruined by this fell agent in that
and adjoining counties, and in Ala
bama, along the line of the Mobile and
Girard Rail Road. Much cotton has
been ruined thereby. The staple in
this section has been affected by almost
every ill, and the hopes of almost every
planter have been most bitterly disap
pointed.
