Jlic Daily City Printer—Official Paper LARGEST (Iff^CIHCULATIOX. AUGUST A. . GA.I TUESDAY MORNINtT .Sept. 4. Hl«6 Job Printing In Plain and Fancy Colors, neatly, cheaply and prflinply executed at this Office. Having fhst power presses, tho boat material, and skilled workmen, enables us to do Job Work at the lowest figures and qest manner. _ 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, M. W. Fowler, S. S. Smithwick, J. 11. Phares, Wm. H. Johnson, J. G. Arnall, R. G. Smith, Wm. O. Daniel, J. H. Russell, M. D. Sterrett, R. E. Bailey, T. 8. Mitchell, J.' B. C. Wright, J. S. Mc- Cants, D. C. Bennett, C. C. Sanders, C. C. Hart, J. A. Hunnieutt, A.H. Brantly, J. C. Sosnowski, H. N. Harris, C. S. Williams, J. S. M. Hardman, Paul Gist, G. B. Atkinson, M. Edwards, G. F. Wirsen. 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. Special Notices.
