President Johnson has recently declared that he will “oppose the centralization of l<ower in Congress.” In this declaration the country may take hope, for there is nothing more clour than that the Radicals hope to use their power in Congress to subvert the principles of the Constitution and to violate the rights of the returned States. No more fatal error can be com tied n a Government like ours, than to tt-sume the right in Congress to control the entire interests of the country. The functions of that body are merely legisla \o —legislation restricted within constitu • ..ha! limits; and it has been with gloomy forcMings that true patriots have wit i.exsed the gradual development of a party w 'ho-e aim seems to be to overstep consti t itional limitations, and give to a bare Con gressional majority executive, judicial and legislative powers. Against such mon strous pretensions we are glad to find the President sternly arrayed. If there ever •a as a time when the fate of those institu tii'tis transmitted by our revolutionary fathers depended upon the firmness and patriotic ntegrity of one man , that time has «..me, and that man is Andrew Johnson. We have sometimes feared that he would waver under the influence^' of a terrible «- ;ts de pressuve, but every day something transpires to add strength to our new-born «onviction that President Johnson will prove equal to the great duty before him, and that he will yet preserve the Union and the Constitution pure and unsullied, i li' conviction is the gleam of sunshine which throws light upon the path of our country's future. JThe two great powers of Europe— France and England—‘are becoming won* dcrfullj gracious to one another, if we may judge by the fetes that have been recently gotten np on the occasion of the visit of the French Fleet to Portsmouth. There is some meaning in this hob-nobbing and .icking of glasses between the wily French man and her Majesty. This sudden burst of enthusiastic friendship forebodes no good in some quarter. It; sometimes happens that diplomats hatch infamous plots over thvir Burgundy, and perhaps there may be some little scheme lying hidden int hese os entatious displays of international oourtesy. From what we know of Louis Napoleon and his antecedents, it is the part of safety to keep an eye upon their movements, and some of England’s statesmen will be none the worse for tLe watching. ♦ ♦ » - - The radical papers in Chicago arc fiercely opposing the Administration policy as developed in Mississippi.

THE SENTIMENT OF THOSE WHO FOUGHT THE BATTUES OF THE UNION. In one of his speeches while Provis- . ional Governor of Tennessee, Andrew Johnson said: It is very easy to talk about Lincolnites. Ii hare shown yon who they are. Qo through their ; regiments and your inquiries will be answered so as to set at rest all doubt. I bare frequently asked them if the war was being directed to the institu tion of slarery. Their reply has always been, “We’re got more niggers at home than we want; d—n the niggers. When we hare established the rightful power of the Government, we mean to re turn to our homes and our avocations.” Almost every Confederate soldier who came in contact with the Western Federal soldiers can testify that the sentiment above accredited to them largely predom inated ; that in conversations frequently entered into across the lines, they time and again assured our soldiers that they were not “ fighting for the negro ” —that they had as much of him at home as they need ed. They wanted the Southern States back in the Union, as they were before the war, with all their constitutional rights; and one of these soldiers told the writer of this that if the Southern people would “ cease fighting and return to the .Union the Federal soldiers of the West, who had done the hardest fighting against us, would, in their turn, fight for us if our full rights as co-equals iu the Government were not acknowledged.” We believe he was sincere. We believe further, that if the question of Southern restoration to the Union on equal terms with other States, and to the enjoyment of equal political privileges, depended upon those Western soldiers who did the fighting of the war, it would soon be settled to the satisfaction of both parties. The men who are so ram pant for severe measures towards the South, now that the war is over, are not the men who fought against us while war existed. Brave men are willing to trust us; cowards, consulting their fears, profess to doubt our sincerity, and would have us further oppressed and humiliated. Pres ident Johnson will be sustained in his re construction policy by nine-tenths of the vetoran soldiers of the W est. SPEAKING OUT IN MEETING. The following, from the New York Jour nal of Commerce, is a clear case of speaking out in meeting. The Journal remained quiet as long as there was a “military ne cessity,” but now that the truths ,of history are to be vindicated, and justice dealt out to the whites, the editors cannot remain si lent under the imputation that the Federal Government has, for the last three years, “taken refuge against white traitors behind two hundred thousand Hack bayonets!” The Journal ventilates the Fort Wagner affair elegantly. Here is its vindication of the honor of the white soldier of the Fed eral army, for which we think they ought to be grateful: Talcing Refuge Behind the Negro. —The Tribune says this “was not a white man’s government during the last three years, when it found refuge against white traitors behind two hundred thousand black bayo nets.” It is possible that the readers of the Tri bune may be imposed on by such twaddle as this; but to the sensible and intelligent community at large it is sheer nonsense.— Nor is that all. It is insulting to the peo ple of all parties in this great country.— Four-fifths of the people, Republicans as well as Democrats, opposed the employ ment of negro soldiers. The only men who “found refuge” behind the armed negro were the ultra abolitionists, and they took refuge, not from the rebels at the South, but from the draft at the North. * Massachusetts hunted the nation through to find negroes to fill up her quota and save her citizens from fulfilling the Gov ernor’s promise to throng the roads with volunteers. Two weeks ago there was a negro regiment discharged in Boston. W e came on in the train that afternoon to New Fork, and we are able to state on our personal observation that a very large part of the men composing the regiment came on to this city and State to find their homes. This was the only kind of taking refuge behind the negro that we or the people of this country know anything about. This has long ceased to be a question of politics, and is now a question of history, and the Tribune might afford to sacrifice old political notions to an honest desire for the truth of history. The simple, unvar nished truth is, that the negro soldiers have been of no manner of use to us in this war. Where ten thousand of them have been used to fulfill a purpose, one thousand or one hundred white soldiers would have been of more value by far. We have conversed with scores of re turned officers and soldiers, men of no po litical aspirations, who have seen the negro regiments under all conditions, and their testimony is unanimous that the colorec troops were nowhere worth their salt. This is the uniform statement of every soldier whom we have seen, who* is not a political candidate for some office. It is the notorious verdict of all the most emi nent officers of the army. Asa matter of fact, the stories which were published for political effect about the bravery of these troops are known to be fabrications. We have before this alluded to the celebrated advance of the negroes at Fort Wagner, which was represented in such brilliant colors, the poor fellows fall ing by hundreds on the parapet and under the works of the fort. The fact is now well known that they did not advance within some hundred yards of the fort, and their conduct was simply ludicrous under the first fire they received. This is but a specimen of the “historical verities” which political writers manufacture in times of excitement. It is not to be doubted that the organization of negro regiments has cost the nation many millions of dollars, which were thrown away to gratify an ar dent partisanship, or to save those who ad vocated it from the draft, and resulted in no adequate return whatever. The implication of the Tribune is, that white men were not forthcoming for the war. This every reader knows to be un true, . There was never any such refusal of white men to volunteer, as is implied in this accusation, unless in Massachusetts, and we do not believe there was any ne cessity for resorting to negro troops there. The draft would have brought white men enough even there. Instead, therefore, of taking refuge behind the negro, the truth is, that negro troops were forced on the country by these men who now have the impertinence to taunt white men with tak ing refuge behind them. Meeting in Davidson County, Tenn. In response to a published call, a large number of the citizens of Davidson county, Tenn., convened in Nashville on last Satur day. From the proceedings we quote the following: Judge John S. Brien moved that a com mittee be appointed to draft and present to the meeting a series of resolutions. The motion having prevailed, the Chair ap pointed che following gentlemen on the committee: John Brien, E. H. East, P. W. Maxey, J. B. Johnson, J. M. Lea, W. Slockwell, and John Leigh Smith, Esqs. The Committee then retired from the Thalia Hall rooms, and in about an hour returned with the following resolutions: “Whereas, Peace has been restored to our beloved country; and whereas the ravages of war, for the past four years, have disturbed, to a great extent, the so cial, political and industrial relations of her people; and whereas, we, as a community, are all alike interested in good governmt nt, and in a restoration of all our social, civil and political rights and relations; there fore be it - “Resolved, That the flag of the Union is our flag, and we pledge ourselves to pro tect and defend the same, when and where ever assailed. “Resolved, That we practice ourselves, and recommend to others, the duty of meeting all our fellow citizens, socially and politically, as brothers of one great nation ality, and that we will co-operate with them in all laudable ways, for the promotion of our common interest, State and National. “ Resolved , That we accept the extinction of slavery as an accomplished fact, and that we will co-operate with all good men ev erywhere, to make the new relation of the white and black race as pleasant and pro fitable to both as possible. “ Resolved, That the broad, bold and pru dent statesmanship of Andrew Johnson, as indicated in his past career, upon State and national theatres, give high assurances to his countrymen everywhere that the government of the country will be con ducted upon principles of enlarged patriot ism, wisdom and justice. That we hearts ly approve his policy in the administration of the Government, so far as it has been developed, because of its large and liberal patriotic Americanism. We will, in good faith, support his administration in its ef forts to reunite the whole people as oofff nation North and South. “Resolved, '.As the opinion of this meetuS the people may with safety, be trusted wifl the government of themselves, and iwF sooner this can be done, the better it will be for the peace and welfare of society at large. “That we appreciate that sentiments of nationality which seeks to restore the Union on a constitutional basis, and recog nizes the Southern people as brethren wor thy to be trusted in their local legislation; and with all such we pledge our hearty co-operation. “ Resolved, That the national credit is es sential to national happiness, strength and prosperity, and should be carefully guard ed and protected. “ Resolved, That we believe, that if the present policy of President Johnson is met in the spirit in which it should be, by the people, that the entire country will be re united in one common brotherhood, and peace and prosperity reign throughout the Union. “ Resolved, That it is our duty to obey in good faith, the laws of the land, State and National, andjto co-operate with every effort made to restore peace, law and or der.” Before the reading of the resolutions, the chairman expressed the hope that the gentlemen present would pay the strictest attention to them and weigh them well, in a manner suited to their importance. Attention, Ladies! We find the following order in the Au gusta Constitutionalist, and lay it before' our readers for their information : 4 ... Head’qrs Dep’t of Georgia, > Augusta, Ga., Sept. 20, 1865. $ General Order , No. i5. All orders issued by military authority in this Department, relating to contracts between individuals {except those which interest freedmen) or determining the right, title or petition whatever, except property owned or claimed by the Gov ernment, are hereby suspended, and all officers on duty in this Department are prohibited from adjudicating questions of contracts or conflicting claims to property real or personal, except when necessary to protect the rights and interests ol the Government. By command of Maj. Gen. Steedman. S. B. Moe, Brevet Col. & A. A. G. We also find the following in the Koine Courier. As the ladies, Government offi cials, and others, are interested in the point once at issue, but now determined by Maj. Gen. Steedman, the military commandant of Georgia, it will doubtless attract the attention of all concerned: DUE AND TIMELY NOTICE. A letter came to this postoffice for a young lady, addressed to the care of her father. The young lady had not taken the “oath of allegianco,” and still refused to do, but her father had, and demanded the letter, on the ground that it Was ad dressed to his care. The Postmaster de clined delivering it on the grounds that it would have been an evasion of the orders, and would not have been justifiable in doing so, under all the existing circum stances. The point was made and re ferred to the General for his decision. The following is his reply : • Headq’us Dep’t of Georgia-, ) Augusta, Sept. 13, 1865. ) Respectfully returned to the Postmaster at Rome, Ga., through military channels; the letter will not be delivered until the orders of the military commander of the Department are complied with. Parties (not alien citizens) who cannot comply with the laws of the country, will prepare themselves 1 to leave the country. By command of Maj. Gen. Steedman. Edward G. Dike, A. A. G. The Pittsburg Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church has spoken on the subject of the negro. It unanimously passed a resolution in favor of “restoring the Government of our country on just principles to all parties, colored and white, giving suffrage to all.” Important Orders.

The following important order was is sued to-day by the War Department: War Department, } Adjutant General’s Office, > Washington, Sept. 18th, 18G5. } General Orders, No. 138. To provide for the transportation re quireed by the Bureau of Refugees, Free men and Abandoned Lands it is ordered that upon the requisition of the Commis sioner or the Assistant Commissioner of the bureau transportation be furnished to such destitute refugees and freedmen as are dependent upon the government for support, to proceed where they can procure employment and 'subsistence, and support themselves, and thus relieve the govern ment, provided such transportation be con fined by the Assistant Commissioner with in the limits of their jurisdiction. Second. Free transportation on govern ment transports and United States milita ry railroads will be furnished to such teach ers only of refugees and freedmen, and persons laboring voluntarily in behalf ol the freedmen, as may be duly authorized by the commissioner or assistant commis sioners of the bureau. All stores, school- etc., necessary to the subsistence, Hbrt and instruction of the dependent freedmen, may be transport wjw expense, when such Kores and books shall be turned over to the BDtficers of the quartermaster’s department, with the approval of the assistant commis sioners or the aWfcrtment commander, the same to be as public stores, consigned to the quWtermaster of the post to which they are destined, who after in spection, wijk turn them over to the com missioners ot the bureau agent for whom they are intended for distribution. All army officers traveling on public du ty, under the order of the commissioner or assistant commissioners, within the limits of their respective jurisdiction, will be en titled to mileage or actual cost of trans portation, according to the revised army regulations, when transportation has not been furnished by the quartermaster’s de partment. By order of President Johnson. [Signed.] E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant-General. Georgia University. A correspondent of the Atlanta Intelli gencer says: Upon a recont visit to Athens, Georgia, my attention was directed to the State Uni versity, located at that interesting point, and upon inquiry in regard to its condition and prospects, I was informed that its en dowments had been to a groat extent ex hausted' by the destruction of the capital of the State Bank as the result of the war, in which Institution the funds bad been invest ed by Act of the Legislature. It has oc curred to me that it might not bo inappro priate to call the attention of the members of the approaching State Convention to the subject of placing the support of this Insti tution beyond contingency by introducing a guarantee into the organic law of the State, as upon this security I have reason to be lieve that sufficient funds could be obtained (without any actual advance upon the part of the State) to put the Institution into operation and sustain it for several years, until the financial condition of the State could better allow the actual appropriation of the money. Asa citizen of the State, (and in no way connected with the Institu tion alluded to) deeply interested in its fu ture, I would desire to urge upon those who are to lead in the reorganization of its gov ernment, and in relaying the foundations for what I believe to boa prospect for a greater degree of prosperity than has been ever known heretofore, the great importance of looking prominently to the encourage ment of every possible educational advan tage, 4nd among these none occurs to me as likely to be more fruitful of good results than those connected with the interests of the State University. Fortubately the buildings, apparatus, and magnificent Library of the Institution have passed through the desolations of the war uninjured, and with its able Faculty (at the head of which stand that most accomplished scholar, eloquent Divine and polished gen tleman, Rev. A. A. Lipscomb, D. D.,) un broken and ready to enter upon the dis charge of their duties, nothing remains, in my judgment, to insure it a career of un paralelled prosperity but the fostering care of the State Government. .. , • # » ■ ■ A Japanese Visitor. —We mentioned some days ago the arrival in this countryjof Kisabro, a young Japanese of highly respectable rank, who has wandered alone to this distant pa r t of the world. He brought letters of introduction to Wetmore, Cryder & Cos., and has, under their care, already visited some of the more interesting manufacto ries of our country. He is a man of quick intel ligence, appreciates all that he sees, and makes careful notes of the information he is obtaining with reference to making use of it in Japan. He will remain in the couutry some weeks longer, and will probably visit some of the large armories and manufactories, and proceed to the national capital before his departure. It is remarkable that he and his coiyitrymen seem to have a full acquaint ance with the name and exalted character of Washington. He desires to see the tomb of the great patriot, and will do so. It is unnecessery to bespeak for this young man the kind attentions of such Americans as he may meet. They will readily accord it everywhere. He has assumed a great risk in thus visiting us, and the result on his return may be very serious. He hopes, how ever, to escape the penalty usually imposed on any Japanese who ventures to travel abroad, and expects to carry with him information which will be of great value to his countrymen. He is a fine specimen of the Japanese gentleman, and a conversation with him may well lead an American to doubt whether the civilization of Japan is not very nearly on a par with our own. —New York Journal of Commerce. Variety. Time was when the title of a romance meant something. If you could not fore shadow the contents of a book by its name, you could at least perceive its pro priety after perusal. But now-a-days it seems to be of little consequence to have any connection between the title-page of a story and the succeeding letter-press. This is to some extent true in relation to “ Our Mutual Friend,” and is wholly correct as applied to two recent novels, “On Guard,” and “Carrie’s Confession-” The “confes sion” in the latter is an incident so com pletely subordinate and unimportant, that no one reader in five would note its occur- rence. The London Times speaks of the good old days when men were hanged by the dozen. A shop-keeper once wrote to his sister: “ Our aged father died yesterday of a large assortment of disorders.” Although the days are warm the nights continue cool, and the night air is bracing, and our citizens feel like taking anew lease of life. Butter is “firmer” indeed, as the market report saith.* Lard was also firmer. Mosquitoes rested from their labors, operatic and surgical. Mankind rejoiced and womankind promenaded. The invalid crept to the window or sought the yard and street, and brawny labor felt the might of a dozen giants in his limbs. During the war, a woman went to a grocer’s shop, and found she was paying nearly double for candles, so she asked what was the reason candles were so dear. The grocer replied, “ Oh, it is the war.” “ Dear me,” said the woman, “ have they got to fighting by candle-light ?” Don’t talk when you are milking. A farmer discharged a hand because he talk ed loud and much while milking, and the cows gained more than the man’s w 7 ages in milk by the change to silence. A friend of his—said President Lincoln —passing along a village street, was pain fully bitten by an ugly dog. A single blow of a heavy stick, skillfully aimed, killed the animal instantly, but the enraged pedestri an still continued to pummel the whelp, till little vestige of the canine form remained. At length he was accosted with, “What arc yon about ? That dog has been dead these ten minutes.” “I know it/' was the reply, “but I want to give the beast a real izing sense that there is a punishment after death.” Thackeray, when speaking about fame, would frequently tell the following anec dote : When at dinner, in St. Louis, one day, he heard one waiter say to another, “Doyou know who that is ?” “No,” was the answer. “That is the celebrated Mr. Thackeray.” “What’s he done ?” “Bless ed if I know,” was the reply. “Well,” said a soft-hearted, blundering Jonathan the other day, “Suke has gin me the sack, by gravy ! I’ve lost her.” “Lost her—how ?” inquired his sympathizing friend. “I laid the soft soap on her so thick, that the critter got so proud she wouldn’t speak to me.” “Why, Bridget,” said a lady who wished to rally her servant girl, lor the amusement of company, upon the fantas tic ornamenting of a huge pie, “ did you do this? You are quite an artist. Pray, how did you do it?” “ Indade, ma’m, it was meself that did it,” replied Bridget. “Isn’t it pretty? I did it with your old false teeth, mum.” Miss Augusta St. Clair, “a petite young lady, scarcely twenty,” has been lecturing on Marriage and Female Education in Cleveland. The Plain Dealer says the lecture was “ all very fine theory, but sadli| deficient in practice.” “ When you com« to be married, Sammy,” said the eldflj Mr. Weller, “ you’ll know a good things as you don’t know now.” Gems from Brownlow, We clip the following from a recent number of his Knoxville Whig: Northern Men Among Us. —The Union men of East Tennessee are pleased to have Northern men—mechanics, laborers and professional men—come among them, and settle down permanently, and they rejoice at their coming —-provided they are Union men, on the side of the Federal Govern ment. But for those of them who have even served in the army, who settle in Ten nessee and take the side of the rebels, electioneer with them to make friends, and above all to make money , at a sacrifice of principles, all true Union men entertain a contempt as profound and undying as they do for the meanest class of rebels that ever stole one of their horses or robbed one of their hen-roosts. And if there be one class of men in Tennessee to-day, meaner than another, it is that class of Northern rebels, copperheads and adventurers from the North, who are in sympathy with the rebels of the South. May God in his mer cy put it into the heads of such cattle to stay away from Tennessee, and especially from East Tennessee. Let Union men watch them, and scrutinize their deeds and associations. Don't Feel Safe Here !—There are a few persons here, and in other localities, in sympathy with rebels, who came from a distance, and from other States, and are horrified at seeing or hearing of the fights that occur between rebels and Union men. They say they don’t feel safe in the coun try. Well, let them leave—they came with out any special invitation, and if their views arc not in harmony with the loyal men of the country, the sooner they leave the bet ter. If they are here to uphold rebels and denounce Union men, we agree with them that they are not safe. And every day they act in this way, they are rendering themselves more insecure. The real peo ple of East Tennessee want none but loyal men on guard. —♦♦ » * The Treasury regulation prohib iting the shipment of arms and ammuni tion to the South has been rescinded so far as to allow the sale of shotguns and powder, and blasting powder, under cer tain regulations.

There will be no danger of rebel raids from the Canadian border if the bill of expenses has to be footed by the Canadian people.
