Married Life.
There is a high and no >!e nature
hidden in some men which requires
to be drawn out and encouraged.
Men often (and especially young
men) view this new' phase of life
from the contrary side, and find
nothing to acquaint them with the
bitter } art of their nature. When
two are made one in the eyes of God
and man it is this married life that
develops them. When I speak of
married life 1 mean that union of
hearts which true and firm love
forms and which G<?d smiles on and
blesses. If married life be firm and
sweet, if love true, entire and noble,
how happy they who enter upon it?
Oh, it is this that makes happy
hearts and bright skies. r l his is the
beautiful sunshine that gleams in
the low ly cot, and makes the heart
cheerful and loving, even when the
homes are darkest. To know and
feel that there is on© heart that con
sympathize with yours. That there
are ey s that can give tears for your
sorrows, and lips ever ready to smile
when you rejoice. Young man, there
is no bugbear in this wedded life.
There is no burden which will weary
you. Love sweetens and brightens
all. Love, like a heavenly light,
brightens every dark path and makes
labor sweet, when she whom you
love more than life stands by your
side and smiles and so lovingly cheers
you. There is nothing so fruitful of
true happiness as this* It brings
heaven down to earth. It is heav
enly. It is sublime. This is no pic
ture of fancy. Experience teaches
us the substantial lessons, and be who
speaks from experience speaks truly.
Let not, then, the fear of “too much
responsibility” cheat you out of the
greatest blessing of lifel It is the
duty of every man to love and cher
ish the tender sex, and he who
shrinks from so pleasant a . task
stands not as a man in the eyes oi his
fellow-men.
Beware of this mercenary motive
which impe s men to join themselves
to those whom they love not. It is
the breaker on which many lives are
wrecked. It is hut the ghost of af
fection which frightens away what
ever of peace or happiness that may
strive to enter tiie heart. If a girl
be poor is she less worthy for that?
Being good and worthy what supe
riority can the rich girl claim ? Love
two e ;.i, tot her be rich or poor.
Know her worth and take ner, iiin
ish and protect. Love her with an
earnest love and God will bless and
prosper you. Champion.
Death of Eeverdy Johnson.
lion. Reverdy Johnson, the dis
tinguished statesman and jurist, died
suddenly last night while a guest at
the executive mansion of Gov. Car
roll, at Annapolis, Maryland. He
was born at Annapolis, May 21, 179 G,
being the son of Hon. John Johnson,
Chief Judge of the First Judicial
District of Maryland, and afterwards
Chancellor of the State. He was an
alumnus of St. John’s College, An
napolis, afterwards studied law and
was admitted to the bar in 1815. He
soon acquired a large and lucrative
practice in bis native city and coun
try, and he reported, during the
next eleven years, the decisions of
the Court of Appeals of Maryland,
the greater part of the well known
series of seven volumes of “Harris A
Johnson’s Reports” having been pre
pared by him. In 18.7 be removed
to Baltimore, and soon after was ap
pointed Deputy Attorney General of
Maryland, and in 1820 Chief Com
missioner ef insolvent debtors. From
1821 to 1825 be was State SenatoF,
and in the latter year resigned to de
vote himself to bis practice, and be
fore 1545 had attained to the leader
ship of the Maryland bar. He also
occupied a high position at the bar
of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
In 184 he was elected a Senator of
the United States for Morel :d ;pyV
i" 1849 was Cabinet
! 'iL-i-t’itfirTTey 'Vjoner. 1 1 of the Unite !
States by President Taylor. On the
death of the President, in 1850, lie
retired from office, and continued to
practice almost exclusively in the Su
|>r< me Court ot the United States.
In 18G1 he was a member of the
Peace Congress, and in 1802 he was
again elected to the United States
Senate. He was employed by the
Government as an umpire in the ad
justment of questions which bad
arisen with foreign governments, at
New Orleans, during the war. In
June, 1 j!GB, he was appointed Minis
ter to England to succeed the Hon.
Charles Francis Adams. He nego
tiated a treaty for the settlement of
the Alabama claims, which did not
meet the views of the United States
Senate, and it was rejected by a very
large majority. He was recalled in
1809, and has since resided in Balti
more.
The President, it is now definitely
decided, will not go to St. Louis to
testify in Babcock’s behalf. The
ostensible reason assigned by defen
dant’s counsel is that Grant could
not very well leave Washington
without neglecting his official duties
which is why he never could find
time to visit Long Braneii or the
Rocky Mountains,) the real reason’is
doubtless something else. There "is
no doubt it was the President’s in
tention originally to go on the stand
in person, but he has been dissuaded
from that step by his friends and ad
visers, who have succeeded in con
vincing him that whatever might be
the honesty and sincerity of his mo
tives, the country would construe
such action into contempt to rein
force his testimony with'the peculiar
influence which attaches to his high
station. Indeed it is openly stated
that the third term managers have
represented to him that it would be
fatal to their programme if, after
such a manifestation of personal in
terert in Babcock’s fortunes by the
Pr*sideut, conviction shall ensue in
spite of his testimony, and notwith
standing the appeal into which his
personal presence would be constru
ed.
The House Committee on w..r
Claims will soon report a bill granting
a rehearing claimants whose claims
for loses arising from the late war
have be.-n rejected l>y the Southern
Claims Commission, and who have
additional testimony to offer. This
action, it approved by Congress and
the President, will relieve the com
raitee of over half the cases before
them. The commitee in also consider
ing the question of claims presented
to Congress in behalf of various
States for expehtitures incurred in
equipping troops and for other pur
poses growing out of the war.
Jeli Davis to K. E. Lee.
The reply of Jefferson Davis to the
letter of Gen. Lee, already published,
offering his resignation, was as fid
lows:
Richmond, Va., Aug. 11, 18G3.
Gen. R. /•;. Lee. Commanding Ar
iv/ of Northern Virginia: Yours ot
lie Bth insf. has just been received.
I am glad that you concur so entirely
with me as to the wants of our coun
try in this trying hour, and am hap
py to add ' that after the first
depression consequent upon our
disasters in the west, indications
have appeared that onr |>eopie will
exhibit that fortitude which we
agree in believing is alone needed to
secure ultimate success.
It well became Sydney Johnston,
when overwhelmed by a senseless
clamor, to admit the rule that suc
cess is the test of merit; and yet there
lias been nothing which I have found
to require a greater effort of patience
than to bear the criticisms of the ig
norant, who pronounce everything a
failure which does not equal their
expectations or desires. I admit the
propriety of your conclusions that an
officer who looses the confidence of
his troops should have his position
changed, whatever may be his abil
ity, but when I read the sentence I
was not at all prepared for the ap
plication you were about to make.
Expressions of discontent furnish but
little evidence of the sentiment of
the army. 1 wish it were otherwise,
even though all the abuse of myself
should be accepted as the results of
honest observation.
Were you capable of stooping to it,
you could easily surround yourself
with those who would fill the press
with laudations of you, and seek to
exalt you for what you had not done
rather than detract from the achieve
ments which will make you and
your army the subject of history and
objects of’th© world’s admiration for
generations to come.
1 am truly sorry to know that you
still feel the effects of the illness you
suffered last Spring, and can readily
understand the embarrassments you
experience in using the eyes of others
having* been accustomed to make
your own recoilnoissances. Practice
will, however, do much to relieve
that embarrassment and the minute
knowledge of the country which you
acquired will render you less depend
ent for topographical information.
But suppose, my dear friend, that
I we re* to admit, with all their im
plications the points which you pre
sent, where tim 1 to find that new
commander who is to possess the
greater ability which you believe L
to be required ? Ido not doubt the
readiness with which you would give
way to one who could accomplish all
that you have wished, and you will
do me the Justleo to believe that if
Providence could kindly offer such
a person for our use I would not hes
itate to avail [myself] of his services.
My sight is not sufficiently pene
tracing to. Aisenver such hidden mer
it, if it exists, and I have DIH ust-u to
you the language of sober earnestness,
when 1 have impressed on you the
propriety of avoiding all unnecessary
exposure to danger, because I felt
our country could not bear to loose
you. To ask me to substitute you by
someone in my judgment more fit
to command, or who would possess
morejof the confidence of the army,
or of tlie reflecting men of the coun
try, is to demand an impossibility.
It only remains for me to hope
that you will take all possible care
of yourself, that your health may be
entirely restored, and that the Lord
will preserve you for tlie important
duties performed upon you in the
struggle of our suffering country for
the independence which we have en
gaged in war to defend.
As ever, very respectfully and
truly. Jefferson Davii.
There is Trouble in the Cabinet.
Gen. 11. V. Boynton, the intimate
personal friend of Secretary Bristow,
sends the following dispatch to .the
Cincinnati Gazette:
The reported troubles in the late
Cabinet meeting in regard to Bris
tow are sensational. There have
been no high words or excited con
troversies.
Outside of tlie Cabinet there is a
desperate effort making by a num
ber of politicians to induce the l*re£>-
ident to direct the Attorney G/jfieral
to assume ttw> '/JTUViW* Tr ~T'‘im Irnl of
and to iinme
li'Jrtttnyi list rue t the District Attor
deys not to accept the testimony of
any more informers, and to see that
sentence is at once pronounced
against all under conviction, or who,
having plead guilty, have given evi
dence which the Government has
used.
The letter of the Attorney-Gen
eral to District Attorney Dyer,
printed here to day, is in exact ac
cord with what the politicians in
terested have insisted upon. The
issue sought to be made between the
Department of Justice and the Sec
retary of the Treasury is of a grave
character, and believed by these pol
iticians to involve the resignation of
Gen. Bristow. They have seen for
some time that it is impossible to
get him out upon any direct issue
over the whisky trials, but it is now
hoped to make the issue one which
can be made to appear as solely one
of construction of law, and one tnat,
through his .refusal to accept their
interpretations of the law, can he
made a sufficient ground for accept
ing his resignation. The President
has not as yet acceded to the de
mands made upon him by these in
terested parties, hut if possible they
intend to make trouble and keep it
alive till the chief force back of and
pushing the whisky frauds is crowded
out of the administration.
The immediate and chief purpose
of those most busy in this matter is
to prevent further developments at
Chicago and Milwaukee which might
afford the country more sensations.
By signifying to nil concerned that
they mean business, the majority in
the Louisana House have instructed
a select committee to ascertain and
report whether governor Kellogg
and Lieut. Gov. Antoine are proper
subjects for impeachment, and the
committee has begun to take evi
dence. If articles are actually pre
sented. these officers are disabled for
the time being from discharging any
executive functions, and the (Demo
cratic) Speaker becomes acting Gov
ernor. Word comes from New Or
leans that Ivelogg and Antoine have
a lively sense of the situatoin, and
are redoubling their efforts to per
suade the Republican Seriate not to
be stubborn about the returning
hoard legislation. The upshot will
probably be a conference and compro
mise.
The Dahloncpn Signal reports the
opening of a gold mine on Long
Swamp, Pickens county, which we
believe is a little above the strip
running from northeast to southwest
through Georgia in which gold has
heretofore been found in paying
quantities. Mr. Sumerour, the owner
of the mine, presented the deposit as
very extensive, and he exhibited a
lot of beautiful gold. There are in
the neighborhood remains of old In
dian workings for gold. Mr. S. also
reports a silver lead in the same
vicinity.
