There were few men who had his strength of mind, and nerve to carry out his purposes. He was oue ofthe men of a class, that are few. but whose characters and efforts, ought to be stud ied by the young man, who has a pur pose and a will, to dare and to do ; for from such lives he may gather the in gredients, and study the progressive qualities of undaunted wills, that allow no common barriers to stand between them and the goal for which they strug gle, with a view to win, and with a de termination not to be outdone. Andrew Johnson rose from compara tive obscurity, being in his first profes sion (?) a tailor, and was a poor man too, as it is natural to surmise. V> ion he married, and for sometime after, he followed his calling, and was instructed by his amiable and intelligent wife, lie did not have the most remote idea of making pants anil pigeon-tail coats for a life business, lie studied law, and his mind reaching out and taking in knowledge from every conceivable source expande 1 and enlarged, and at his death, you see a nation standing aghast that oi,e of her lights has gone out, than which there were few brighter. He was staunch au l immovable in his convictions, and in his po-iibr.i Even if comparatively alon e h • exhib ited a heroism that c>'on li'.s cn could not avoid admiring-. I,ike u tow er, grey and haughty and stern- abon: whose base the surging billows wash, and against whose proper;ions the wild winds and the storm king spends its fury, when lie was assaile 1. an ! his enemies were hounding his heels and (resetting him with the vituperation and venom of a deadly hale, because hp saw fit to stand by the (' crust it lit ion a j !;e construed it, and to repel with tierce indignation, and disapproval their uu warrentable and palpable cneroa-h --t“ . . 1 ■ ~ i because the ground he occupied had a semblance of the protection of .Souili ern rights ; lie was never more at home (>r farther iron; intimidation and fear. He was anything else but an advo [•ute for our separation ; in other words Kiln all his mighty inllueneQ, ami with all tile might of his power of mini and purpose, he battled against secession and our Southern struggle for indepen dence-—rebellion as our opponents were pleased to call it. Perhaps nowhere in the North or West was there a man whose min l was so determined on our defeat, or more delighted at its eonsumation limn his. unless you find his counterpart in Al - Faragut. who, though not a states man, was a naval olßeer of no mean de gree. llis extreme hatred an 1 opposi tion to us was more of a sectional character, partaking of the New Hny lnd type ot dislike for our former in stitutions, especially that if slavery. Johnson's arose from a fixed a Iher ence to the Constitution, Ik.l ling that we had no right guaranteed to us by it to separate from the Cmen, or to hoist over our heads at any time, any oilier flag than that of the stars and stripes, which he loved with such a fondness, that it was his request, that when death, the great Leveler, laid him low that it should be his shroud. We can but admire him in his fear lessness for there can he no doubt but that lie stood as a breakwater against outrages that Congress attempted to heap upon us under the guise of law. Gokdo.n.— Gen. Gordon has been making a speech in Alabama. Among other things he said that as an cxetis - lor the perpetration of many of the out rages which had been heaped upon the people of the South the Radicals ga ,- ( - out that we were disloyal—and. pray, disloyal to whatf To the Radical par ty!—to wrong and opposition— to cor ruption in high places—to robbery and plunder! Aye, to be loyal now one must, not only believe Grant to be a states, men and Beast Muller an hone 4 man. but that Henry \\ urd 11 'ccher is an in nocent, persecute I saint.

Having a few leisure hours last week and being tired ofthe stir and bustle of city life, we took "french leave” on i Thursday and "set sail” for the City of i Mar ’on, where we Arrived "right side j up” on the 6 :45 p. m. train from Sa | vannah. We noticed the crops along t the line of road from Bartow to the j City, and have to report them in wretch ed condition as far up as Teiinell—No. 13, C. R. R.—here they began to look better, though we were informed that the} - were suffering for rain, from Macintyre, No. 10, to Macon, the corn crop was as fine as we have ever seen in that section. It was indeed a re fishing sight to see large fields of it looking frcslr and green and heavily laden with large full ears. Cotton was also looking well, but there is very I little of it planted along, the line of I road. When we arrived in Macon, we hand ed our btijijatje, to one ofthe porters of I the Lanier House, and was shown to a carriage which soon landed us in front of the above Hotel. Right here we wish (without the hope of ever being . dead headed fora nights lodging.) to re mind oi;r readers that should they ever visit, Macon, and we hope they will, they can not find a more comfortable or popular Hotel in the city than the La nier House. It is situated in the bus iness part of the city, and has recently been thoroughly refurnished ; the pro prietor, Mr. Dub, is a courteous and af fable gentleman, always on the go. looking after the pleasure and comfort of his guests. The clerks are all gen tleinen, and thoroughly understand their business; the Dill of fare is full and complete, and the servants are 'polite and attentive. After a refreshing nights sleep and a good breakfast Friday morning, we strolled out in the city and called on several of the business men. Some of them we found at leisure, while oth ers were so busy they could not find time to talk ; especially was it so with the produce dealers, while the dry goods and clothing merchants were all complaining of the dull times. They wore nil in high hopesof a heavy trade litis fall an I were milking arrangements to that. end. We next visited the Iron Foun tries ami Machine Shops ofthe city and found them all crowded with work. They have all had t<> employ extra labor in order t< he aide to lii! the tna tty orders that is pouring in upon them. If there is any one thing for which Ma con should lie proud, it is her Iron Works. She lias three of the largest establishments of the kind there is in the Slate, and can I'urtii.xli. at the short est notice, anything from an iron rail ing to a fine, steam engine. In the alleniO'jii we called on Col. Maleomh Johnson, the cflii ient, Secre tary .;.f the s .ate Agricultural Society, and found him very busy making prep arations for t.ie approaching Stale Fair wlii di comes off iu that Gity in October next, beginning on Monday the lstli and eon,inning for one week. Col. Johnson has just returned front an ex- tensive trip through the Western and Northern States where lie lias been traveling in the interest of the ap proaching Fair,, and lie has very grati fying results to report from his trio. Half tare rates have been secured on all Railroads an 1 Steamboats for visi tors au i art i- les for exhibition, and the coining Fair promises to be the grandest ever held in the State. Macon is last becoming one of our lending wholesale mar!.its. She can already boast ol severs] of the strong est and l.'-'t firms in the State: they are a live business set of yvii.tlenien, and unless Savannah wakes up from her leiliargy ol donl-care-a-tiveues.s, Macon will soon have charge of the ti tide in this sect ion. We know several goo l met • 11.;:J -. win. luivc bcoti in,in '-'(I to change their entire trade from Sa vannah to Macon during the past year.

Peace to his soul! -.fagii.a a Con a; a. THE RAIS AND THE CROPS. The crop prospects in the West are becoming more and more serious. The heavy waterfall along the ()hio valley has not only deluged the low country lying adjacent to the river, but has se riously damaged the uncut grain as well as that which has been mowed and shocked. The rich corn region lying ou both sides of the Ohio between Louisville and Cairo has been for weeks so submerged as to drowq the life of the growing stalk and to flatten large fields of the product with the ground. Nothing but a suspension of the rain and the hot, unclouded rays of an Au gust sun can save even a fair part of the crops, that have not already been destroyed, and that suspension, we fear, will not be granted until complete ruin has overtaken the farmer. The wheat prospect is even more hopeless. Fanners throughout Ken tucky are casting shocks of this valua ble grain to the hogs, and wherever fields of wheat oats or rye have not been moved the crop has been rendered entirely worthless. We have never had a season so suddenly and thoroughly disastrous The ruin has literally trav eled as last as showers on the moun tain side—faster, to use a poetic expres sion, "than the musician scatters sounds.” Nor has Kentucky alone suffered. The dreadful waterfall seemed to have followed with wonderful- accuracy the isothermal line which takes in a great portion of Missouri, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Virginia and Maryland, and thence striking across the ocean runs through Great Britain, a portion of Frapce and Germany, and thence east, through the middle of Asia But small areas within this broad and ex tended line have escaped the ruin which seems to have visited us with a more protracted if not a more desola ting severity. The crops iu some por tions of France were suddenly sub merged some weeks ago, and so strong ami broad was the torrent that flowed down from the Pyrenees, that two cities one of which was larger than Louis ville. were entirely carried away. En gland has not suffered so severely, nor lias Germany ; but while that fact will lighten the general distress which lias been anticipated, it will not soothe the ruined farmers, the broken tenants and sub-tenants who have fallen directly un der the ban of (his destructive destiny. This extensive suffering it seems like ly will be increased by the ovcllow of the Mississippi and the repetition of the losses we were called upon some months ago. Should that lm the case the cotton interest will ul-o be seriously injured, and planters who have been congratulating themselves upon an ex traordinary crop of that, staple will suddenly find their hopes dashed and broken, and themselves almost ruined. Louisville Courier. WESTERN CHOP SITUATION. The Damage h // Cold and Floods. ("ix< ixxATi. August s. —lt is difli eult at this lime to form more than a rough estimate of the damage done to crops by rains and overflow in the Ohio V alley, but it is believed they will he heavy. -The wheat crop has filtered severely by cold. It, is believed a third is hopelessly lost, and the remaining two-thirds partially damaged, though it i: believed the damage will be much less than is generally expected. I he acreage of wheat sown was lartr er than last year cud the relative yield compared with last, year will be -ill per cent. less. The chief damage to corn is in the riy> r bottoms, where the crop is a total loss. That planted on high ground has sullbred principally from being broken down. The acreage was muell larger than last year and the pros pects before the flood were favorable lor an unusually heavy crop. It is now tbought there will he a fair average crop, not much if any less than last year. Much depends however, upon favorable weather lor the remainder of the season. The oat crop has suffered more se verely than either wheat or corn, hav ing been beaten flat, and so badly dam aged that it will be impossible to liar vest it. I'he per cent, saved will be very small. Barley suffered severely hoin the coll weather, and but little was growing. Of this grain the quan tity saved in a condition for milling will be comparatively insignificant. Hay promises a partial crop, but of inferior quality. •I HU CITIES.
