Cjit jpailg Ctltgragjj. Anecdote of President Johnson. [Prom IUrj>er'» Weekly.] "I say. I nay. General Jackson, for fear you should think’I have some axe to grind be cause I try so hard to keep you at my poor h-oise all night, I will agree to entertain you Ire-; of expense,'' expostulated the landlord of the only inn in the village of Jefferson, Ashe county, North Carolina, to General Jackson, late one evening in the autumn of 18—, as he entered his carriage to pursue his journey toward Tennessee. “The Blue Ridge, sir, is infested with banditti, and you will certainly be robbed, and possibly murdered, before morning. I bcaoocn you, stay. t • You arc very kind, sir, and I thank you,” replied the General, “hut I shall proceed, and try and reach the Tennessee line at all events. I have no fears of being molested. Drive on, Ned, briskly. Adieu, gentlemen all!” and the old hern drove off at a rapid pace. •‘Ililloa, there, youngster!" cried the land lord to a slim, wiry, Jlaxen-lieaded stripling standing in the motley crowd in front of the tavern; “if you are going to Tennessee, you had better jump up Isrhind and go along with the general; it’s as cheap riding as walking." “Sure enough; I reckon I'd better, and thank you," replied the young man, jumping up Itchind the coach as it drove off. They rode on quietly tor some hours, until they began to ascend the mountain,when the general, hearing a slight cough behind, called out sternly: "Who's’that 1” “It’s me, air—Andrew Johnson. I am a traveler, on my way to Tennessee, and I thought I^ight get a lift on yonr carriage, sir. I beg your pardon, sir.” “You are quite welcome, sir, to my carriage. Come forward and take a scat with me.” “Thank you, air; hut as the mountain is rather steep here, I’ll jump off and walk up.”" lie walked forward up the mountain-side in advance of the carriage, but had not gone far before he saw a man ahead of him ascend ing the mountain. lie appeared to he intox icated. He lurched this way and the other way, staggering backward and forward; now his knees would double up, aud he would miss a step, as if the earth had suddenly van ished before him; then he would cross his legs, and a lurch would send him diagonally across the road. lie stopped and braced himself up so as nearly to fall backward, and then drifted helplessly along. Presently he turned an angle in the road and was out of sight. “That man is lieastly drunk,” remarked the general. “Drunk!—not much, sir,” laughed the vouug men; he’s no more drunk than I am. lie’s playing ’possum, and means mischief.— Look there \ he’s lying in the road.” As they drove up he raised himself lazily and hailed them. Ilic—I—I say, gentlemen, can’t you give a man a lift I I—I hie can’t walk; I’m loaded too heavily with d—d mean whisky.” “Then stay where you arc and get rid of itreplied the General sternly. “The devil!” exclaimed the man, springing to his feet with the agility of a cat. He gave a keen whistle and planted himself in front of the coach. Three men sprung out from the bushes, and mode a rush at the car riage. Quick as thought the general sprang upon one of them, and they rolled over in the road together. A dull, crushing sound was next heard over the conflict, and a second one rolled over in the dust, propelled by the loaded whip in the powerful hands of the driver. The young man, by a timely shot, fired and brought down a third, and then sprang to the assistance of the general, who still fought manfully with his Herculean an tagonist, while the driver engaged the re maining robber. " Stand back! stand back!" cried the Gen eral to the young man; “ we are man to man. I’ll give the villian fair play. By the Etern al. I have you now!" and lie threw his antag onist over, apparently lifeless. “ Are you hurt, my boy i” asked the Gener al. “ And you, too, Ned! Where’s Ned f" “ Here. Massa!" replied the boy, puffing up the road. •• My robber coward—he run- lie ! he!" * 'll this occurred in less time than it takes !.v~' *»• "No; no* General, are you hurt But, look here r M j „ ,- ew bruises, thank God! sir, and Ned, pimow them is stirring.

They wcr< nil soon pinioned, and a council was held, when it was determined to disarm them and let them go. rather than tie detained on the road. No further incidents liefcll our travel ers during their jaunt. On their separation in Tennessee, the gen eral gave the young man much good advice. He recounted'to him his own history, and bade him aspire to bo good and useful. The general continued en route to his home in Middle Tennessee, and the young man stopped and settled in the town of Greenville, Ten nessee, as a journeyman tailor. Of his sub sequent career, it is needless to speak; it is a part of the history of our country. X. E. D. Joxesbobocoh, Texx.. Nov., I860. Andrew H. H. Dawson. Esq., of Geor gia, who has been lecturing before the peo ple of Boston and New York on tho history of the rebellion and the present and future condition of the Soathern States, and whose words have been listened to by gratified thousands, has reached Philadelphia, and we learn intends addressing our people at an early day. Mr. Dawson was identified with Southern interests throughout all the recent troubles. He was an early opponent of re bellion, yielding only to circumstances when that which had been a mere proposition be came a strong and irresistible fact His ob ject is to secure a reconciliation between the people of the sections, and to show thar whatever may be the efforts of politicians in certain States, nothing is necessary to con vince the masses of their dnty to their coun try but kind and generous manifestations among the happier people of the free States.—Phil. First, 22i. Haxsome Testimonial.—On the 16th. the theatrical profession in Philadelphia, gave an entertainment at two places of amusement for the benefit of Mr. E. N. Thayer, a vener able actor, who, it is stated, will realize therefrom the handsome sum of $5,000. % *. - Cl ,\y 4-..: V The History ot the Shenandoah, To refresh the memory of many in regard to the career of this steamer, we transfer the following account to our columns: The Sea King was built at Glasgow in October, 1863. and was registered as the property of William Wallace, hanker, of Lon don, and others; her registered tonnage being 700 tons, her combined power being 200 bone, and her frame-work iron with wood planking. On the 20th of September, 1864, she was transferred by bill of sale to Richard Wright, ship-owner, of Liverpool, who was a very near connection of the Confederate financial agent in that town. On the 30th of September P. S. Corbett was indorsed as master, and on the 7th of Octo ber Richard Wright executed a certificate of sale to Peter Luther Corbett, empowering him to sell the Sea King at any port oat of the United Kingdom for not less than £45,000, within six months from date of certificate. She was then entered and cleared, in ballast, as an ordinary merchant vessel, at Loudon for Bombay. In the meantime, another vessel called the Laurel, and owned by Henry Lafone of Liv erpool, was taking on board all the necessary armament, stores, etc., several officers and a large number of men. On the same day that the Sea King sailed from London for Bom bay, the Laurel sailed from Liverpool for Nassau. The two vessels met at Madeari, and from there proceeded in company to an island near by, and there, within Portuguese waters, the armament anil men were speedily transferred from the Laurel to the Sea King, both vessels being still under the British flag. The Sen King was then renamed Shenan doah, hoisted the Confederate flag, and set forth on her piratical cruise. Her armament consisted of six guns, viz: four G8-ponnder3 and two 32-pounders, with a full crew of British sailors. The first we heard of her af ter she left Madeira, was that she had des troyed a few vessels in the neighborhood of the Island of St. Helena. Her next perform ance was to doable the cape of Good Hope and cruise around the bay of Bengal and the straits of Sunday. She next made her ap pearance in the port of Melbourne, Australia, and was coaled, provisioned and received a reinforcement of men. After remaining there'for some time she start ed anew on her career of devastation. The next we hear of her is that abo is in the Artie ocean, capturing, destroying and bonding the vessels composing our whaling fleet. From the beginning of April to the end of June she destroyed and bonded 29 vessels, thus en tirely breaking up the whaling season in that quarter. The vessels in the list are all destroyed ex cepting the last four, which were bonded, sim ply because Waddel was to get rid of his prisoners. The war having by this time becD brought to close, Waddel was soon informod of the fact, but be affected not to believe this. The British Government were at lost com pelled to dispatch a vessel to put a stop to the ravages of the steamer. For the last month or so, her movements have been shrouded in mystery, and the next we hear of her is in tho port of Liverpool. Tire Case of C. C. Clav.—Mrs. C. C. Clay has arrived in Washington with the view of pleading with tho president for the release of her husband. The circumstances under which that gentleman is imprisoned arc pecu liar. HU only offense against the Federal au thority has been, that of his discharge of the dnty of a senator, in the late Confederate congress. IIU detention, lie )>eing the only member of that l>ody now in custody, and even its ex-ofiicio President, Mr. Alexander II. Stevens, having been embraced within the executive clemency, makes his case one of remarkable exception. The outrageous pretext that he had been party to the conspi racy against tho life of Sir. Lincoln, placed him, it is true, out of the category of leading •‘Confederates,” generally; but the dUgrace attaching to that declaration of indecent claptrap makes the repetition of such a plea, we hope, now. out of the question.—N.

CONSTITUTION LIFE SYRUP HAS PRODUCED ▲ REVOLUTION IN MEDICINE. What may seem almost incredible is, that many dm- _ tees hitherto considerodthopelesaly incurable are fre quently cared in a few days or weeks; and we eaeer- nflljr invito the invest cations of the iberal minded and scientific to cures which have no parallel at the present During the pest five years we have contended with obetac e* and overcome opposition as herculean as were ever encountered by any reformers.
