estnhli.hed a depot of supplies, and made
thorough and extensive soundings in tho
northern sounds us far north us Behring

Gon. Russell, commaederof the post, and
half of his officers are down with tho
broak-bono fovor, and tho prnssure on

ful if his brigade is removed for muster-

There is no foundation in tho statement
of tho Washington papers that the Secre
tary of tho Treasury will put forward a
new loan. , _

White l.ubor ou Farmw.
About two wopks bro, Mr. William
Clark, of Halifax county, Va., introduced
upon one of hi* plantations eight white
laborers. These laborers are Danes, and
procured through ihe active agency of
SlesBis. Ooddin & Apperson, of liich
mond.
Various reports have goun through tho
country concerning; the success of Mr.
Chirk’s schemes so fur. We are happy to
have it in our power to state, from n per
sonal interview with that gentleman, ex
actly how he iu progressing under the new
system.
The Danes are under tho management
of a Pennsylvanian who belonged to the
Sixth Corps, and who Ims recently married
in the neighborhood. Ho ia represented
as uu industrious, attentive, hard-working
man, willing to turn his hand to anything-
Mr. Clark wisoly determined not to mix
tho whites with the nativo free negroes.
There is an antagonism botween the two
races, when put at points, which can never
bo reconciled. There is danger, too, that,
by associating with freo nogroes, they wil
acquire their la ay habits, to a considerable
extent. The Hands are therefore, put
upon a separate plantation and kopt aloof
from the idlo, marauding negroes. Some
how or other, since the negroes have been
liberated, there has boon an insuflerable,
unheard of amount of stealing going on,
in town and country. In some parts of
Halifax, we are informed, tho planters
have to do what was never necessary be
fore : namely, keep a man, on double pay,
for lue express purpose of minding the
stock, day and night. Mr. C, congratu
lates himself that, at least so far as one
plantation is concerned, he iafroo from the
pillaging of free negroes.
Among tho eight Danes, there aro sevor
al mechanics. Those who intend to em
ploy white labor aio warned against get
ting mechanics to do the farm work, and
advised to bo careful to scloct from tho
rural districts. Mr. C. not having use for
so many mechanics, is inconvenienced to
some extent; hut he is going to teach all
who are willing to be taught tho details of
plantation business. Of course, tho for
eigners display great ignorance at first.
The mode of cultivation is so different
from what thoy havo been used to, that
they cannot be expected to be expert la
borers, under our system, before they Lave
beon taught. Hut thoy aro willing and
quick to leurn. It is contemplated to em
ploy a few of our own people to work
with them at least for awhile, unlil they
have learned our manner of working.
Mr. Clark waa one of the bent planters,
under tho old system, in our whqle coun
try, and farmed on n most extensive scale.
We are glad that such a sound, practical
man has taken hold of this subject. He
realized at onco our condition, and wont
to work in earnout to inaugurate the new
ordor. lie has the ability, material and
mental, to carry such a project through,
and he is more determined than any man
we havo met with.
' Tho main point is to make a settlement,
fora beginning. Freo white labor is no
experiment. If onco u fow are regularly
and permanently located in a neighbor
hood, tho difficulty is over; others will
surely follow suit. This is illustrated by
the fact that, since the introduction of
these oigbt Dane?, three other foreigners
have applied to Mr. (J. for employment.
Mr. Clark ia determined to spare no
pains or reasonable expense in making the
strangers salisllod with their now homea.

When the tide sots in fully, lager beer
saloons will soon follow without hojk ex<*

well. Other enterprising planters of Hali

attention, whose plans, in a short time, wo
expect to notice.

Au Hour With President Johnson.
The Hod. A. K. McClure, of Pennsyl
vania, lately had an interview with Mr.
Johnson, of which ho gives an account in
a letter to the Franklin Repository, under
date of October 81, 18C5. After speaking
of the President’s appearance and man
ners, Mr. McClure says:
However reticent ho may boon somois
sues, he seems to have no reserve as to tho
I tolicy he conceives to lie the true one to
>ring back the insurgent States. He dis
cussed the position of thoso States and
their pooplo with great interest and occa«
sional warmth, and with a frankness that
left no doubt us to his purpose. He holds
that they were never out of the Union;
that secession, however accomplished us u
fact, cannot be accomplished in law; that
the supreme authority of the Government
in those States was not overthrown by re
bellion, but simply in abeyance, aud of
course it logically follows his premises
that, since rebellion Lm* the Htetmi
resume their proper plnco in the Union
and restoration is accomplished. T his, in
brief, was the stand-point from which the
President discussed the question of re
construction for more than an hour, and
answered suggestive objections at times
with an earnestness that demonstrated
how ardently he is working t<> give suc
cess to his policy. I could not but re
mind him that his theory stripped ail
traiters of the protection they might claim
as public enemies; that it would stamp as
guilty of treason, within the law, every
man who aidod the rebellion, and of ne
cessity demand at his hands commensu
rate punishment for what he must hold as
unmitigated crime—as appalling murder
and desolation for which there i9 no ex
tenuation to be plead, “You have,” 1
added, N given us on every hand tho na
tion’s monuments of mercy—where will
boils monuments of justice? Davis is a
>roclaimed assassin, as well as a traitor—
is agents have died, another (Wirz) will
follow—how are tho principals to atone to
a people doubly bereaved iu their homes
and in their sunctuary of power?”
To this thu President answered with
much animation that the measure of, and
tho time for, atonement wore yet for the
future to determine. 1 shall not soon for
get the emphasis with which he declared
that the South must come back aud bo a
part of us, and “it must cornu,” he added,
“with all its manhood—1 don't want it to
come eviscerated of its manhood 1” To
thi9 proposition abstractly there could be
no objection made. We want tho South
with all its manhood, which 1 would cou-
coivo to bo tho Southern people with their
treason abandoned and their crimes pun
ished—not punished revengefully; not in
imitation of the guillotino ol France or
the Inquisition of Spain; but by making
the leaders who conspired to overthrow
tho Government straugers to its honors
and its citizenship, and thus through lift*
tho monuments of the cower, the justice
and the magnanimity of the mightiest na
tion ot tho earth. The President said
that such may be the measure of punish
ment; that he had pardoned but few who
would como under su6h a rule; that there
aro exceptions to all ruloi, and there were
both civil functionaries and army officers
who might bo pardoned with propriety.—
He said he had not yet gone as far in his
amnesty, either general or speciul, aa Mr.
Lincoln proposed. Ho explained what is
not generally known, that his pardons are
mainlv of business men,.many of whom
were Union men, who must have pardons
to enable them to sell or mortgage Lbeii
lands, or to got credit in their busincs;
operations; and added that he bad uotyel
readied the consideration of such cases ac
Loo, Stephens, Longstreet, Beauregard
and others of that class.
He spoke freely of the proposod trial of
Davis, and said that a9 yet the Govern*
uient bad not taken any steps in the mat
ter. If he is to be tried in Richmond, the
trial must necessarily be postponed until
tho civil authority ia fully testored, and
then it will be a question of consideration
under the condition of affairs which may
at that lime exist. As Virginia is still
practically under martial law, certainly
wholly under military rule, I judge that
many moons may wax and wane before
we can have a great stale trial. 1 do nol<
question tho wisdom of this delay, for it
is certainly better for t'.io Government to
avoid tho danger of defeat in attempting
to convict of constructive treason in Wash
ington, thun to force a trial which might
afford a technical escapo for Davis and
leave tho great question undetermined. If
l were going to guess on the subject, 1
would sav that Davis is more likely to be
paroled during the next year than to be
tried, and if he is ever hangod ha must do
it himself,
The President is clearly adverse to con
fiscation, and that question i9 practically
settled. Whatever might be the views of
Congross, confiscation is not possible with
an Executive determinedly hostile to it
and with the pardoning power in his
hands. 1 infer, however, that on this
point Congross will harmonize witn the
Executive, as a number o( even the radi
cal leaders, such as Greely and Sumner,
openly oppose it. If our credit can be
sustained otherwise l am content. Five
years hence we shall all he wiser on that
point than now.
I believe that the President will wield
all his power to effect tho admission of the
representatives of the rebellious States into
•Congress durjpg the next session. The
Senate being oiganized, the question can
not come up there until it is brought up in
order; but there will be a strong pressure
to force the admission of the southern
members, by placing tbeir uam<*& on the
roll when the House meets. This, Mr.
McPhorson will not do, and on all votes
of instructions he will call only those who
are returned from States clearly entitled
to representation. The law fortud* him to
do otherwise, and he will bu faithful to it.
The question of their admission will then
agitato the House, and I fear make a sad
breach betwoen the President and Con
gress. The South is encouraged by thu
position of the Administration to be im
portunate in its demand for admission,
and it is not improbable that it will in the
end be admitted. I have seldom seen
Congress struggle against power and hold
out to the end. The history of such con
flicts Is always dotted with frail ones who
fall by the way. I have ever felt that tho
revolted States should take no part in the
Government they vainly soughtto destroy
until all issue* arising from the war, and

Tho sole and heel are made of hard uiaplo

The uppers are fastenod to tbo sole by a

of the sole, and fastens sole and upper to

any sewing can do. When put together
the shoe presents a handsome appearance,

hollowed out on tho upper side, and the

On tho future of the freed men the Pres
ident talks well. He displays moro sense
than sentimerrt on thoouestion, and means
to solve the problem, fairly as demanded
by civilization and humanity. Of their
ability to win a position that will enable
them to be incorporated into our system of

y hopeful, but feols that It must be fnirly

That failing, ho looks upon colonization hh
the only alternative.
It would be foolish to disguise the fact
that the President, both by word ami
deed, disclaims the position of a partisan
Executive, and that ue is not insensible to
ring approval of his Aminiatra-
ko Democratic party. 1 do not
ilhis that he is in sympathy and
with them ; but I do mean that
wholly in sympathy against
them ; and will, 1 feel warranted in say*
ing, adhere to the wolitloel fortune* of the

Ho evidently means, above all other
things, to compass the admission of the
Southern members and the complete res
toration to power of those .States, and if
Massachusetts and South Carolina can
striko hands over tho same Administra
tion. then will we have a faithful Presi
dent and a harmonious country. If not, I
leave the future to tell the story. Where

A Family Wedding Coat.—The
Staunton Spectator, in the following,
gives an account of a coat that has proved
a veritable heir-loom :
Many yoars since art old German clti«
zen of Pendleton county, when about to
load bis lair “Crow" to tho hymeneal al
tar, purchased a broadcloth coat in which
ho was married. His wife presented him
with many children, among whom were
eight aons, everg our of whom were mar
ried in tho saino coat iu which their father
married their mother The youngest of
the sons had seem sons, every one of
whom were married in the same wedding
coat, and after tho younges’. son of tha
seven, or tho youngo»t grandson of tha
original owner of tho coat had led hit
blushing bride to tho altar in his venera
ble grand father’s fashionable wedding
coat, ho sold it for the sum of $10. What
has bocome of the coat since it was sold
wo have not been advised, but suppose
that somo one is keeping it for tho pur-
poso of getting married in it.

oxporieiicn in tbn treatment of this dread*

our readers will probably recollect, and
we found one article of very great impor
tance—that of prickly ash berries. We
therefore advise druggists everywhere to
securo as many of these berries as they
can. or at least a reasonable quantity.
This can be done by letting the country
people know about it, and thoy will gath

shall certainly want somo of these berries.
