EvPretddrnt Johnson on Presi
dent Grant.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mtrrial has visited er-President Johnson at
his home in Greenville, Tenn , and elicited
from him the following very candid remarks
concerning Gen. Grant:
“The intelligent men of the party don,t
know what to do with Grant. It would grat
ify them much if he would resign, but he
wont. So far from resigning, he’s working
and Intriguing for a second term. He will
never get it He is no more fit for a Presi
dent than a goose. He has got no ability—
nothing but a little low cunning. His cuu
ning is of a poor sort. it is mean cunning.—
He never had an original idea in his life.
He is an insignificant little fellow, a bundle
of personal piques, petty spites, and preju
dice. Fie used the highest office in the gift
of the people to advance his private ends
and those of his family, and intrigue for a
second term. He knows a little something
about horses, but has not brains enough to
make a first-class horse jockey if turned out
to the business, although that is about, all
ho is fit for. If we are to have a horse jock
ey for the highest office in the land wo
ought to have a gsod one.
“Grant’s coming to the surface is the re
sult of an accident; nay, it is an accident
of an accident. You may search history
from the foundation of the world to the pres
ent, and you will not find a case like his—
a man who rose solely by the power of acci
dent. In the boiling cauldron of war, the
scum rises to the top. In the bubling off he
came up from the bottom anti run off, as
scum always will, or we should never have
heard of him. By a series of accidents he
rose to the command ®f the army. lie was
the creature of a peculiar combination of
circumstances.
“He rose in the general turmoil and
throwing up. The rebellion would have
been suppressed without him. He was an
incident to the struggle—like a baggage wag
on, for example. A baggage wagon had a
part to preform, but without the war senti
ment and patriotism in the North, it could
have done nothimg. Neither could Grant.
Everything was furnished him that he wan
ted. His armies largely outnumbered the
rebels. Every engene of war was placed at
bis disposal. The rebellion went down while
he was in command. If anybody else had
been in command at the time it would have
been the same, although the result would
most likely have beeu brought about with
less loss of life. His Wilderness campaign
was a perfect massacre. His road was pav
ed with skulls and washed with blood. II; g
conduct in regard to the exchange of priso
ners was inexcusable. In his correspond
ence on the subject he let one sentence drop
which illustrates his character. A ray of
light passing through a crevice will often
light up a whole room. So it is with the
character of a man.
“We frequently get a clear insight into
his heart, as it were, by a single sentence
that he may write or speak. He is utterly
remorseless. Objecting to exchanging pris
oners with the rebels because our men in
their hands were weak and emaciated, while
the rebel prisoners were strong and able to
go right into the army and fight us.
“Grant, sir, is a small man; he is little
every way you take him. He is a bundle of
small, contemptible prejudices. He does not
rise to the dignity of a man. He lacks cour
age as well as discrimination. He thinks he
is making tools of certain politicians, when,
in truth, they are making a tool of him.—
But he docs not know it; he is to be pitied.
“Before I would go into Grant’s Cabinet,
either in 1872 or any other time, I would
get me a situation as assistant hog drover,
or, as an old man iu the country used to Bay,
1 would tie a rope arouud my neck and then
round a tree, and walk off.”
We have been induced by the above
reported conversation of ex-Presideut
Johnson, with a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, to give bolcw,
the opinion of Alexander H. Stepheus,
of Gen. Grant.
It will be found beginning on the
50Gth page of the 2d Vol. of his late
work, “The War Between The States,”
and is quite a3 remarkable iu its direc
tion as is that of the Tennessee States
man in the other. It shows how “doc
tors disagree,” and cannot fail to in
terest the reader. If any oue should
be disposed to think that Johnson is
rather hard upon His Excellency, the
President, and that Grant is better
aud wiser than he represents him, we
think that few, if any, could be found
who would go so far a> to endorse Mr
Htenhens. What Geu. Grant has ever
eaid or clone, either before the war, or
while ne was at the head of the U. S.
I army, or since he h.u* bt£t-n 3?reai(icot.
| which could at all entitle him to the
[ eulogistic remarks of Mr. Stephens,
we nre a loai to,discover. JLufc to the
< xtract from the book. In reply to
the question propounded by Maj. Heia
ter, “What impressions did Gen. Grant
' make upon yon on first acqaintance?
liow did lie compare with Geu. Lee in
your opinion Y Mr. Stephens gives
the following answer. “The idea of
drawing a comparison between them
did not occur to me. I should just as
soon have thought of drawing a com
! parison between Louis Napoleon and
Washington. But in answer to your
question, us to whut impression he
made upon me, I will say iu the first
place, that I was never so much dis
appointed in my life, in my previously
formed opinion*, of either the persona 1
appearance or bearings of any one
about whom I had read aud heard so
uiticlL The disappointment, moreover,
was in every respect favorable and
agreeable. I was instantly struck with
the great simplicity and perfect natu
ralness of his manners, and the entire
uuseuce of everything like ostentation,
show, or even the usual military air or
mein of men iu his position. He was
plainly attired, sitting in u log cabin,
busily w riting on a small table, by a
kerosine lamp. It was night when we
arrived. There w.is nothing iu hi3 ap
pearance or surroundings w hich indi
cited his official rank There were
neither guards nor aids about him. —
Upon Col. Babceok s rapping at his
door, the response “come in,” was giv
en by himself in a tone of voice and
with a cadence which I shall nevar for
get.
His tone of conversation was easy
aud fluent, without the least effort or
restraint. In this, nothing was so
closely noticed by me as the point and
terseness with which h e expressed
whatever he said. He did not seem
either to court or avoid conversation,
but whenever ho did speak, what he
said was directly to the point, and cov
ered the whole matter in a few words.
I saw before being with him long, that
he was exceedingly quick in percep
tion, and direct in purpose, with a vast
deal more of brains than tongue, as
ready as that was at his commund. —
We were with Geu. Grant two days,
as the correspondence referred to
shows. He fur nished us with comfort
able quarters on board one of his des
patch boats. The more I became ac
quainted with him, the more I became
thoroughly impressed with the very ex
traordinary combination of rare ele
ments of character which he exhibited,
* * * * * *
But in further respouse to your in
quiry, l will add that upon the whole,
the result of this first acquaintance
with Gen. Grant, beginning with our
going to, and ending with our return
from Hampton Hoads, was the convic
tion on my mind, that taken all iu all*
he was one of the most remarkable
men I had ever met with, and that his
career in life, if his days should be pro
longed, was hardly entered upon; that
his character was not yet fully dewl
oped; that he himself was not fully
aware of his own power, and that if he
lived, he would, in the future, exert a
controlling influence in shaping the
destinies of this country, either for
good or for evil. Which it could be,
time and circumstances alone could
disclose. That was the opinion of him
then formed, aud it is the same which
has been uuiformly expressed by me
ever since.”
Now look upon this picture, and then
upon that. We are no admirer of
Andrew Johnson, believing that he has
done the South more injury than any,
or all others of her enemies combined,
and that too, when it was altogether in
his power to have saved our property,
and our State Governments, and to
have prevented all the terrible mi srule
to which we have been subjected, from
the day of the death of Lincoln, and
hies own ill-fated succession to execu
tive power, but his wonderful intellect
aud knowledge of men, is beyond cav
il* On the other hand, Stephens
in either particular is his equal.
Iu this case they are as far apart
as the poles, YV hich is right ?

The State Load.—Our Atlanta
telegram announces the lease o f the
State Koad for a term of twenty years,
to a company of capitalists, of whom the
majority are prominent citizens of
Georgia, and of which Ex-Governor
Joseph E. Brown is President. It mil
be seen that the principal railroads of
the State are represented in the new
company, which is a guarantee against
injurious discrimination. Th e road
will be ably managed, the security of
the State is ample, and though this
great work in honest hands might be
made to yield a much greater revenue
to the State, than $300,000 per annum,
it is doubtful whether the people will
not be gainers by an arrangement which
secures a certain income from it and
relieves politics of our State from h
prolificsourep of fraud ad corruption.
. — Bcm. News.
Reduce ti*c- Cut(uu Crop.
The year ’7O has passed away, and
by the kindness of Providence we ars
permitted to begin another The peo
ple have, as a general rule, addressed
themselves wi h unwearied diligence
to their business avocado s, and every
energy has been used to retrieve, as
far as possible, the misfortunes under
which they have so long labored. —
Early and Hie the fa roer* have gone
about their affairs, and blessed as they
have been, with most propitious sea
sons, for the most part a bounteous
crop has repaid them for their cure.—
One would suppose at first sight, that
large income was surely derived from
so promising a year, and such success
ful planting, and that money was
abundant in our midst. But this is,
as to the last, a mistake. After ali
the expenses of the year have been
paid in carrying on farming operations,
very little clear money is left; iud ed,
iu many cases, the farmer has scarcely
been able to save himself from actual
lots. Very few, we imagine, can con
gratulate themselves on having accom
plished anything more than the sup
port of their families, while very many,
we fear, have been compelled to en
trench upon tlißir capital, or to go into
debt, to do even that. Much com
plaint is made because of the failure to
comply with outstanding oblig itions,
and square up accounts at the end of
the year.
We suppose that all have done their
best, and hope for better things in the
future. And yet, for the life of us, we
cannot see how those who address
themselves to the cultivation of cotton,
as the main source of income, can ev
er really expect to do any better. —
r heir offices will be, while they flatter
themselves they shall be making pro
visions for their families, simply to
play into the hands of the manufac
tures and merchants at the North —
The day for rnakiug money by raising
cotton has passed away, and we fear
that it will be long before it will ever
return. If our people will, ns a whole,
take this matter in hand, they may, by
concert of action, remedy the evil, but
as we have little or no hope that they
will do so, we have almost despaired
of beholding their prosperity return
again. The truth is, we make too
much cotton our farmers try to
make a great deal, and yet it is tiue,
t ue in fact, that if they made only
half as much as they do, that they
would make far more money—more
from the cotton sold. Already the
price of cotton has fallen to fifteen
cents per pound now the highest
price in New York, and about twelve
iu Adanta. Not because of the for
eign war between France aud Prussia,
nor for any other reason than the sim
ple one, that the supply is now nearly,
if not quite fully up to the demand;
and whenever this is the case, other
things being equal, the price will not
essentially vary from what it was pri
or to the war. Its average price was
then about eight cents per pound,
sometimes higher, sometimes lower; a
price Which paid us as much clear
money then, as fifteen cents would
now. Let our farmers go on as they
are doing, and they will assuredly re
alize the fact, to their sorrow, that by
the increased quantity which they are
making, they will most certainly and
inevitably brit.g the price of the cot
ton down to the cost of its production,
and keep it there. Who does not know
that supply and demand regulate all
markets —that if you have a surplus of
any article it will be cheap, aud if the
article be limited or scarce, that the
price will be high. If, for instance,
there should be a short crop of corn,
aud many buyers, the price must be j
high, and you get a good price for
your corn, but if there be much corn
aud an abundance iu market, al;hough
the number of buyers may be
the same, yet the com will be at a
low price, aud you will get but lit
tle money for it. So with everything
else, so with cotton. liun the quanti
ty of cotton raised up to four millions
of bales, as we have nearly done this
year, and you will have this year s pri
ces; just about enough to pay the ex
pense of producing it, and we will
only reap the poor consolation of
knowiiig that we have worked hard
ail the year, and been anxious and
careful, and toiling, and actually and
in reality have made not one, single,
solitary dollar, if haply, wo do not
come put minus. And yet, so it is.
You may ask any planter you meet, the
best of them, with here and them, it
may be, an exception, aud they will tell
you that they have made nothing—
nothing—nothing. True there is the
cotton in large, bul y bales, and it is
sold, and off it goes, whizzing away on
the cars to the North and to Europe,
but the man, whose sweat and toil and
Cure produced it, has made it, in a ma
jority of cases, absolutely for nothing
at all. Keally this thing of working
for the benefit of others, and support
ing yourself at the same time, is not
pleasant or profitable. It may* it does

! hardy bands ? Still the answer is j
j "
i nothing, nothing, absolutely not one
solitary clear dollar What then ? aie
you willing to work on “at this poor
j dying rate,” and year by year, toil on, |
| and on, with year by year, the same
1 repeated failu e ?
We say again, that the fault is ours,
i and the remedy is with us; we can
remedy it aud we must, or give up for- j
ever the best source of wealth any peo- j
pie on this continent possess. We j
say then, that we must diminish the
quantity produced, by putting in a far
smaller quantity for cultivation. In
stead of planting for four millions, let
us plant for two millions of bales. —
Four millions would give us twelve
cents per pound, while two millions
1 would give us forty if not fifty cents
j per pound, as is verified by the history
■of this plant. Here then, on half the
| land, with less than half the labor, you
: really and truly realize twice the prof
it; and any one may make the calcula
tion for himself.
Then in addition to this, ample
provision crops, corn, wheat, rye, oatS }
bai ley, &c.. can be produced, and huge
fields or rich patches of clover and the
grasses, upon, and with which, horses,
cattle, hogs and sheep may easily, and
with the greatest bundance, be rais
ed. Let us, then, make cotton a matter
of first consideration, by making it a
matter of secondary consideration; in
other words, let us direct our atten
tion mainly to the raising of provis
ions grasses and stock, and let our
j cotton laud then, come in as a mere
audition to them, and the result will
be, that in the first place, you will
have bountifully provided for all
around you, end the whole country will
ue full of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
&c., and w hatever else is desirable for
life in this latitude; and then your cot
ton crop, reduced one-half all over
the country, and being easily gathered,
and better handled, from the fact that, !
it is smaller, carried to market, will
put into your pocket twice the money,
(the most of which will be yours after
paying expenses for the farm,) which
you would vainly have assayed to
make, by madly clinging to the pres
ent and fatal mod. of putting all your
labor in the cotton field. But we de
sist for the present) promising that we
will renew 7 this subject of vital interest
to th whole South; imploring all our
planters, everywhere, now that the
time will shortly com«, when they
must “pitch” their crops, not to disre
gard a course which the commonest
reflection, it strikes us, would most
heartily endorse as correct.
tar The citizens of our town are)
charged with the lack cf sociability,
want of harmony and union of effort,
and an excess of selfishness, iu their
dealings and intercourse. There is too
much truth, we are sorry to say, in the
charge; and while it is true, it bothers
us to conceive of where the evil begins,
while the end is very obvious—disin
tegration of society >nd a general dis
trust of each other, together with jeal
ousy, persecution *uud hatred, followed
by blight aud mildew. We say we
are at a loss to conceive of a place to be
gin the reformation, as the disease is so
general. The beam in one eye will not
suffer the mote in another to cast it j
out. So what are we to do ? Look
at our relations both in church and
state, as a c immunity, and answer me,
if they are not deplorable. Church
arrayed against church and brother
against brother, as if in in fulfillment
of prophecy, “that a man’s enemies are
they of bis owti household.” Look at
it in our civil and municipal relations. |
Labored efforts have been and are be
ing made to arrray the east side of the
railroad against the west side, and vice
versa, as if what would tend to build
up one side would not redound to the
good of the other. Let us wipe out
the past and begin anew, by harmon
izing ii all our undertakings.

Col. W. 1). Mann :
Sir.—Your Circular of the In inst. came to
hand. As we found the Langdon Fertilizer the
best that we tried, l give you my experience ,
with it. Our land is poor, red hill land. Used
200 lbs. to the acre. We used one ton of Gillum’s,
ais7s; three tons of Zell’s, at SBS per ton; turn
tons of the Longdon, at SOO per ton. The land :
was all worked alike, and the some quantity
used ol each. 1 did not keep the weights of each
field separate, but attended to the picking and
weighing myself, and khow that there was more
cotton gathered to the acre on the Langdon than
anv other part of the place. The Zell’s was next.
From my own experience, and in the opinion of
all farmers w ho took notice of it, the Langdon
Fertilizer was far superior to any that we used, j
Respectfully yours, Ac.,
C. 11. FITTS.
Mr, Thomas 11. Kennedy, of Meridian, Miss.,
alter recounting his experience In the use of the
Langdon Fertilizer. says; ••When I lived on my I
plantation in Alabama, I used many kinds of |
Manure, but I never used anything that would
begin to compare with the Langdon Fertilizer.”
THE PRICE AT THE MILLS IS SOO PER TON.
It is exchanged for Cotton Seed, 300 pounds, in
strong sacks, delivered free on board boat or cars
at Middle, for one ton Cotton Seed, free at.the
lauding or depot up country—sacks and twine
furnished by the Mills.
Os its cheapness, Col. Langdon says: “Its
cheapness—l am fully convinced that, at the
price now fixed by you, to-wit: S6O per ton, it
is much the cheapest fertilizer in our market.
Pouud for pound, I consider it more valuable
than the preparations that are Soiling at s7s‘ to
SGO. For my own use, 1 would greatly prefer it
to Peruvian Guano at the same price.” Os its
merits, he says: “The result is the best Fertil
izer in the world for our Southern lauds, in my
opinion.”
Again: “It contains more fully and complete
ly than any other, the elements uecctnsary for
the production of Southern crops and the reno
vation of Southern soil.
i rof. Charles U. Shepard, Jr., M. D., Professor
of Chemistry South Carolina Medical College,
and inspector of Fertilizers lor Sonth Carolina,
who made a full and careful analysis of the
