Governor Morton, in a speech of Home length greeted Mr Johnson aa Preaidant of the Uni ted Mate- and assured hint of their full con fidence and support. He referred appropriate lT to the inhuman murder of President Lin coln. and to the confidence aud affection with which he had inspired the people of the Uni ted .States. lie also referred appropriately to tho approaching end of the rebellion and the duties imposed upon the President and the people, and tne moral'and legal responsibility, of ip c«... who are guilty oi the crime of trea- Hon.

The most courageous individual, the most determined Will, might, justly shrink trom entering upon the discharge of that which lies before me. But were 1 a coward, or timid, to receive the coun tenance and encouragement J have from you, anti other junta of the country, would make me a courageous and determined man. 1 mean in the proper sense of the term ; lor there > much in m «r : c.*urngt*;i»d the firm calm discharge of duty as in physical Cauiage.

I ‘'ii may look back to it as i valence oi v/nat my c arise will Ire.

As to making a declaration, or manifesto, or message, or what you may please to call it, my pari ii; al; tic forshauowiug of my future, com He than any statement on paper that might be made. Who, four years ago, looking down the stream of time, could have delineated that which has tran-pired since v tlida ? Had any one done so, and presented it, ho would have t„ ,‘i) looked upon at; Insane.; or i; would have beeu thought a labie fabulous as tho stories of flu; Arabian Nights as the wonders ol tho Lamp ol Aladdin and would have been about aS readily behoved U via knew so little lour years ago of what’has .passed hiuce thou, wo kuow aS little what events will arise in Hie next four years. But as these events arise 1 shall bo controlled in tho disposition ol them by those rules and principles by which I have b. eu guided heretofore. Had it not boon foi extra mdinary efforts, in part owing to machine ry ol Ibo State, you would b ivo ha 1 rebellion us rampant iu Indiana as wo h id it in Tennes see. 'Treason ia none the less treason,whether it be’in a free .State or iu' a slave State ; but i! t here could be any dill', renco in such a est mo, ho who commits treason in a free State is a greater trailer than he who commits it in a h! ivo State, i hero might be some little excuie ior a man who based his treason on bis posses sion ot slave property ; but the traitor iu a lice Stati lias no excuse, but tuthply to be a trai™ tor. Do not, however, understand mo to mean by this that any man should be exonemted irom the penalties and punishments of the entile of treason. The time liob' arrived when • crime is, aud that it shot’hi be punished, and its penalties enforced and indicted. We say iu our statutes and courts, that bur glary is a crime, that murder is n crime, that, arson is a crime, ami that treason is a crime ; and the constitution of ihe United Stales and the laws of she United States say that tieasou shall consist in levying wav against them, and giving their enemies aid and eomfoit. 1 have |w«t retnui ked that butglury is a crime and has' its pciiatihs, tlmi, murder is a crime and has its peualti s, and oon through the ior.-!’’ cata logue of crime.

We find that amendments may be made by a recommendation of two thiida of the members of Congress, if ratified by three-fourths of the States. Provision is ! made for the admission of new States ; no pro ! vision is made for the secession of old ones, i hu instrument was made to be good in per p.-luity. and y*'u can take hold of it, not to bicak up the government, but to go on per fecting h more and inure as it runs down the j m-, mi ot tim«. We find the government I comisised of integral parts. An individual is an integer, au l a number ofiudividuals form I a State, aqd a State itself is an integer; and tl. c various States lorm the Union, which is it self an integer, they alt making up tbe gov en.men- of the United States. Now we some to *i;e i'oittt of my argument so far as concerns the pei ;>-tu.ty of the government. We Jiave -ten ilia , the government is composed of parts each essential t. tho whole, and the whole es sential. to each part. Now, if an individual part of a Sta e declare war again .t y the whole,in violation of the constitution, he, as a cit.zen, h s violated the law, and is responsible for the act as an individual. There may be m o than one individual. It may go on till 1 ey In come paits ot States—the rebellion may g<> on increasing in numbers till State mar him ■ v is overturned, and the country becomes like a man that is paralyzed on cne side. Bu. we find in ihecousti'ution a great panacea provid ed It provides that the United States that is, the great integer—shall guarantee to, each State the integers composing the whole in tnis Union a republican torur of government. Yis, if rebellion has been lampant, and set side the machinery of a.State for a time there si nds the great law to remove the paralysis and revitalize it, and put it on its feet again. When we conie to understand our.system of government, though it be complex, we see how beautilully one part acts in harmony with an other 1 hen we see our government is to be a perpetuity, there being no provision lor pull ing ii down, the Union being its vitalizing power, imparling life to the whole of the States ifiat move around it like planets round the sun, receiving thence light, anil heat and mo tion. ■ Upon this idea of destroying States my position has been heretofore well known, and I •on no can- e to change it now ; and 1 am glad • o hear its reiteration on the present occasion Some are satisi ed with the idea that States are to be lost m territorial and otto r divisions— nr to lose their cnaracter as States, But their life breath has beery only suspended, and it is a hi :h constitutional obligation we have to se cure each of these States in the posse.-siou and enjoyment of a republican form of govorti nii. A State may be in thy government with a peculiar institution, and by the operation of rob -ii-ion lose that feature. But it was a State weeii it went into rebellion, aud when it comes cut without the institution it is still a State. 1 hold it as a solemn obligation in any one of the-e States where the rebel armies have lican beaten back or expelled—l care not. hoyv > mall the number of Union men, if enough lo man the ship of State—l hold it, I say, a nigh duty to protect aud ecure to thorn a republican form oi government. This is no new opinion. It is expressed in conformity with my understanding t* ri<o genius and theory of our government. Trum, in adjuff ing arid putting the government upon ••its legs, again, I think the progress of this work must pass into the bauds of its friends. If a Stale is to be nursed until it again r ,.-is -V (‘“gfb/it must be nursed by its frieuds, not. smothered by its enemies.

Per haps I night not to add what I am about to say ; but bumaii nature is humau nature. In diana first named me for the Vice Presidency, r though it was unsolicited by mo. Indeed, 1 there is not a man cau say thai 1 ever ap | preached him on the subject. My eyes wove tinned to my own State. If I could restore ne- ( he measure of my ambition was complete. 1 thank Ihe .‘state of Indiana lor the confidence aud regard she manifested towards me, which has resulted in what is now before you, plac ing me in tho position i now occupy. in conclusion, l will repeat that he vigor of my youth lies been spent in advocating ihose gnat principles as the foundation of our gov ej anient, and therefore I have been by many .iCcounce-d as a demagogue.

Sir : -Abraham Lincoln, President ot the S Unite 1 states, was -hot by an assassin last eve I n'ug at Kurds’b theatre, in this city, and died at the hour of 7:22 o’clock. About the same at whi h the President was shot, an en tered the sick chamber of Hou W.

The emergency of the Government demands that you should imme diately qualify according to the requirements of the constitution, and euter upon the duties of President of the tfnited States. If you will please make known your pleasure, such arrangements as you may deem proper will be made. Your obedient servants, High McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury. Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy William Dennison, Postmaster General. J P. Upsheh, Sec re; ary of the Interior. James Speed, Attorney General, To Andrew Johnson, Vice Pres and nt of the United States. Mr. Johnson requested that the ceremonies take place at bis rooms at the Kirkwood House i.i this city, at 10 o’clock in the morning The lion. Salmon P. Chase. Chief Justice oi the United States, was notified of the fact, and desired to be in a tendance to administer tho oath of office. At fLu- above named time the following gen tlemen assembled in the Vice President’s room to participate in the ceremony: The Urn, Salmon P Chase ; the Hen Hugh McCulloch, Secretaiy of the Treasury ; Mr Attorney Gen eral Speed ; F. R. Blair, Sen., the lion. .Mont gornery Blair ; Senator Foote of Vermont; Yates of Illinois, Itamsey of Minnesota, Stew - art of Nevada, Haleot New Hamp hire, and General Farnsworth of Illinois. Alter the preparation of the abov ; ie(;er, the Chief Justice administered the following oatii to Mr Johnsou : I do solemnly swear that I will laitbfully execute the office oi President. , f the United States, and will to the best of niy ability, preserve, protect and delend the « (institution of the United States. After receiving the oath, and being declared President of the United States, Mr Johnson remarked : w Gentlemen -I must be permitted to say That 1 have been almost overwhelmed b\ the an uounc meat of he sad event which has so re cent :y occurred. I feel inc.mpeteut to per form duties so important aud responsible as those which have been so unexpectedly thrown upbn me. As to an indication of my policy which may he (formed by me in the adminis tration of (he Government, 1 have tos-iy that that must be left for development as the Ad ministration progresses Tbs message or dec laration must lx* made by the acts as tiiey transpire The only assurance that I can now give of the future, is reference to the past. Tho course which I have taken iu the past in connection' with this rebellion must be regard ed a; a guarantee of the future. My past, public life, which has been long aud laborious, has beeu founded, ns I in good conscience believe, upon a great principle ot right, which lies at the basis of all things The best energies of my life have been spent in endeavoring to establish and perpetuate •he principles of tree government, and I be lieve that the Government, iu passing through its present perils, will settle down upon prinei pies consonant with popular rigbis, more per manent, and enduring than heretofore. I must be permuted to say, if I understand the feel ing of my own heart, I have long labored to ameliorate and elevite tho condition ot the great mass of the American people. Toil aud an h-.nest advocacy of tho great principles of free government have been my 101. .he duties have been mine, the consequences are ; God’s. This has been the foundation ot my politi cal career. I teel that in the end tho govern ment will triumph, and that these great prin ciples will be permanently established. In conclusion, gentlemen, let me say that I want your encouragement and countenance. I shall ask aud rely upon you and others jtt carrying the government through its perils I feel; in making this request that it will be heartily res ponded to by you and all other uatriots and lovers of the rights aud interests of a free people. At the conclusion'of the above remarks, the President received the kind wishes of the friends by waom he was surrounded. A few moments were devoted to conversa tion. All were deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion, and the reeent sad occurrence that caused tbe necessity for the speedy inauguration oi the President was grave ly di cussed. Mr. Johnson is in line healih, and has au earnest sense of the important trust that dus been confided to him, Wm Hunter, Esq , the Chief Oleik of the State Department, has been appointed Acting Secretary of State. A special meeting of the Cabinet was h#ld at the Treasury Department, at ten o’clock this morning. Toe President and the Cabinet at the meet ing to (lay. intrusted to A.-sistaut Secretaiy of the Treasury Harrington the general arrange ment of the programme lor the funeral of th* late President, Major French, the Cemmis-fion er of the Public Buildings, will attend to the carrying out o so much of it as directly ap pertains to the coips; and Major General Au ger, in ehai ge of the defences of Washington, will be in charge of the military part of the precession. Assistant Secretary Hanington has b eii in consultation o night, relative to the arraog ment with Governor Oglesby, Senator Yates, aud ex Representative Arnorld, of Illi nois, and Generals Grant, Halieck aud Auger, and Colonel Nickols, and Admirals Farragut and Shubriek. The ftmeial ceremonies os the late President will ta-.e place on Wednesday. The time for ihe remains to leave tbe city, as well as the route by which they will be taken to Spring fieM, is as yet, undetermined. Tbe procession will form -at 11 o’clock, and the religious services will commence at noon, at which hour, throughout the wboleland, the var ous religions societies have been requested to assemble in their lesnective places of wor ship for prayer. The precession will move at 2p. ni Details will be made known as soon as per tec ted. The Acting Secretary ot State has issued the following addtess : To the Peddle of the United States :—'lhe undersigned is directed to annouuce that the funeta! cermonies of the lamented Chief Mag istrate will take place at the Executive man sion in this city, at 12 o’clock, noon, on Wed nesday, the lfHh instant, lhe various relig ious i«?nominations throughout the country are invited to meet in their respective places of worship at that hour, for the purpose of sol emnizing the occasion with appropriate ceie - monies.

April 2o ] A'mu vv JOItftSO.X watt DEMOt-tt \T— -01.1 Vo'tt i -a POLICY U *D£tt Is HCCh the m .re we study Anrhew Johnson’* char acter and antecedents, ihe more strongly arc we led to b lieve that be is eminently the r go, man in the rigbt place at the present situatios of our affairs, bAh domestic and foreign. Hi type of mind, while devoid of religious can n seems as direct and forcible as that of Oliver Croniw-Hl ; and -lie deaily entertains for the rebellious, slaveholdiog aristocracy lately dona inant in the South, ascom as bitter and deep rooted as that which inspired the words and acts of England's Lord Protector in his forci bie dissol.'tionV the Long Parliament : “For shame,’’ said Oliver, stamping witn his foot as a signal for the soldiers to enter ; “for shame Get you gone ! Give place to more honest men: ‘ to those who will mote faithfully discharge their trust . Yon are no longer a government; I tell you, you aimo longer a government.” Very much in the spirit of this incisive speech have beeu President Johnson’s repeat ed iterations that it. was the slaveholding aris tocrats of the Sojith who had incited and car ried on war against the lite of the nation ; that their continued existence was “ant goni6tic to the principles of free democratic government,” and that “the time had come when this rebM lioug element of aristocracy must be punish ed ;” when it must “give up the ghost,’’ and when “its possessions musb be divided out among the loyal and worthy laborers of any and ail colors.” The wholesale measures of confiscation herein suggested will require no interposition of the national executive or leg islative powers for their enforcement There wine but few huge slaveholders in the South previou- to the war, whose plantation? and hu man chattels were not heavily mortgaged ; and wilh the last four years ot closed ports, and the exch tuge of all their goods for worthless rebel scrip or currency, there can be to-day scarcely half a dozen large landhMdeis iu the rebellious States wh. s i overburdened posses - sions will not be swept into new hands by the natural and peaceful action of the laws en forcing payment of just debts. Except in a few flagrant cases, no other steps, to produce an entire change of the Southern proprietorial class, will be required than to allow a just and prompt enforcement of the laws tor collecting debts as they exisUyl in each State previous to Ihe rebellion. In attempting to forecast what will hi the toreign policy of President Johnson's adminis Irutiou, we have to guide us his emphatic de claration that he is “in favor of the Monroe doctrine throughoutand his opinion, baldly expressed last June, “that the time is not far distant when, with the rebellion crushed, we shall say to Napoleon that he cannot establish a monarchy in Mexico.” It must also be re membered in this connection that Andrew Johnson s not, and never has beeß, a member of the republican party. He has been a Jack sonisn democrat ail bis life, believing iu State sovereignty to tho extent of allowing each State to regulate its own domestic concerns,such es the right of suffrage &c —provided only that the authority of the Union shall be para mount in all national issues It was as a war democrat that he was nominated for the Vice Presidency to balance the renomination of ou: late Pre ident, who was a republican of whig antecedents; and as a vigorous and perhaps rough handed war democrat of the mixed Uromwelliau, Jacksonian, “manifest destiny” and “Monroe doctrine” types, Andrew John son by faithfully representing the genius of our people will carve out for . himself a splendid name in the world’s history. We have seen that confiscation, or an entire change of the Southern proprietorial class, will be enforced by tho natural course of the laws relative'to debt, even without any direct inter ference on tbe part of our national government; and, in like manner, the Monro# doctrine will enforce itself by the spontaneous acti nos our enterprising merchants and disbanded soldiers, under the precedents established by France and England in conceding belligerent rights to tbe South, without involving the United States in any just cause of quarrel wit i for eign nations. We have never recognized Maximiliau’s usurpation, while we have ex pressly ree ignized and held relations with the national republic of Mexico Oui- merohauts, therefore, may sell ships-of-war, arms and all the munitions ot belligerency to the populai Mexican authorities; nor can our government be well beld'responsible if a third or hall the veteran soldiers, of both sides, iu our rt *ent civil war choose to drift over the Rio Grande after their disbandment, aud to take part in diiving back across the Atlantic a foreign usurper who was imposed on an unwilling peonle by foreign bayonets agd domestic fraud. It is a ell known that the Canadas would long ago have striven to secure admittance into the Union but for the bugaboo of slavery in the South, and the fear of the fugitive slave law to be extended over their territory—two points which have been constantly heid in terrorem before them by the subtle agents and stipen diaries of the British connections. Now that the whole Union is tree, it requires no seventh son to foretell how lankily the Canadas must gravitate towards annexation; nor does it ueed auv very powerful sprit of prophecy to teach us that the now dominant anti slavery sen i meatof the United States cannon for any great length of time, tolerute the existence aud rival ry near our shores of the slaveholdiug and slave importing colonial government of Cuba. Spain has never been so wisely governed as to avoid giving us once or twice in each year just cause o! wai ; aud should a movement for achieving independenoe of European thrall' break out suddenly some fine day in th« entire group of West India islands—French, English and Spauish— we have the j>recedents of their respective governments in our late struggle to' justify our merchants in equipping war vessels aud privateers for the belligeient” insur gents ; nor could our national au.horities be properly or successfully called upon to take active measures for the prevention of a large migration of veteran military pilgrims from our shores to take part in the conflict for pop ular institutions in all neighboring islands. . Andrew Johnson has already given the rebel chiefs of the South notice to clear out of the country as rapidly as possible. Our people do not thirst lor their blood, and will be glad if a majority m the ringleaders escape to the obscurity and protracted punishment oi exile in foreign lands. But if thev remain here and permit themselves to be captured, President Johnson, reflecting tbe sentiments of the nation is fii miy resolved that they shall be held to their full legal responsibility for treason—that highest of a l .crimes known to the law of na tions On some such basis as this, together with the enforcement of tbe “Monroe doctrine’’ and an adherence to the policy ot territorial expansion or rnanifi st destiny,” Preeident Jehus,.", as a war democrat, will command the confidence and promote the highest inter ests of oar whole country. * Seven-tenths’ot our Boldiers in the field are members of the war church, who never held anti slavery principles previous to the liriDg on Fort Sumter.

THE PL.fliiElN EXTJSNT -V VISITATION. Tbe city ni c Petersburg, the capital oi the Ru'Sian empire, has been afflicted since the- Unt days of Mir, h with the presence of a sevt ie aud verj fatal epidemic, which has car ried off a large number ot the inhabitants; amt culminatius recently in a. frightful mortality among the la •<>nng and more destitute class's, its ravages have assumed the proportions and reserved m some quarters the classification of a plague Tne malady has been called the Siberian plague, and some of the enthusiastic friends of freedom in Europe have not hesitated to as sert their belief ih*t it has beeu s.-nt as a maik oi Divine retribution on Russia for her executive severity in driving so many persons yearly to sicken, die and wot ia those dreary wastes ia which the disease has, as they al lege, originated, and trom which it has been blown to the more thickly inhabited frontier pasts and thence to tho gilded city of th<- Al ex mders. Be this as it may, there is no that, St Petersburg, as well as many other parts of |Russia, suff.'r unJer an affection which is at once suideu in ils appearance, acute, lebrile and mal grnait in its attack, aud very mo: tal in its consequences; aud although -we do not belive that this “plague” will ever be number ed with those which have desolated, at differ ent periods in the history ot the world, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Italy, and the cities of Rome, (Jonstantino{ 10, London aud Paris, we do not hesitate to say that the presence of the disease, -fast at this moment, will have a very damaging effect on the commerce aud finances ol Russia. Tracing the course of the malady, it appears to have originated ou the Asiatic side of the Ural Mountains, whence it slowly threaded its way to St. Petersburg, increasing as it went by feeding on numerous victims taken from an impoverished, under fed, ill clad and over- Wherever it appeared all employment was at once suspended The alarmedand excited people fled hefoie it to waids tne towns, and thus aggregated the con tagion in municipal centres, from which it spread to the metropolis, So numerous were the deaths in Sc Petersburg for some days, that the’publication of official returns of the number of oases ceased about the lid of April, the hospital accommodations failed, and hun dreds of thousands ot rubles, taken irom the government treasury or private parses, were in process of appropriation, with the view of se curing shelter and relief appliances lor the pa tients. Physicians reached tho city from Cra cow, Warsaw, and some of the towns of Poland, to tender their services to ihe sick ; but, not withstanding all this liberal and charitable ex ertion, the disease advamJed s'eadily westward until it reached ihe Prussian frontier and show ed itself, but* in a mild r form, in the towns of Konig berg, Dantzic and Gnmbinsen. In the Waldai hills, lying southwest ot St Petersburg, whole villages are said to have been depopula ted. There was no trace of the epidemic in Poland, a severe form of typhus fever existing, however, in Ijm district of Konin ; the town of Kolo, the seat of government of the place, h iv ing a great many deaths. Such was the situation on the morning of the 4th of April At this moment tho English, French. Austrian, Prussian and Italian gov ernments addieased official inquiries by tele graph to the Russian authorities, as well as to their own representatives resident in St. re tersburg and iu the coast towns of the Baltic, as to the nature and extent of tbe disea-e, and the prospect of its alleviation, extension or subsidence Taken as a Whole, the replies indicate that the complaint does not possess the very conta gious character first ascribed to it; that it was wrong to designate it as a plague, but that its true character ii not really known. The Union Mcdicalo of Paris, speaking on the subject, says :—“The newspapers have announced that Russian ships have been put in quarantine at Dunkirk as a measure of precaution agaiust the epidemic prevailing in Russia. Thu infor mation we have obtained enables us to declaro that no order prescribing this n easure has been sent from Paris. Tbe moat recent infor pmation shows that this epidemic, the nature of which is still unknown, has begun to de creasela tha British Uouao ot (Jommomi on the 6th instant. Bir George Grey, Secratary of State, anitounced that England—ever Wive to the security of her commercial interests—had sent instructions to Sir A.Buchanan, her min ister at St Petersburg, to make without delay tte fullest inquiries into the subject, and to send from time to time all the information he Could obrain as to the origin, nature and pro gress or the disease, and the treatment of it Instructions were also sent to her^represent* lives at Berlin, . Vienna, Copenhagen and Stockholm, and to the consuls at the Baltic ports, to send full information as to the dis ease, should it appear in any ol those parts of Europe. A medical officer was also directed to proceed to St Petersburg to investigate and report upon the disease, and the officers of customs ordered to exercise the utmost yigi - lance in the examination of vessels coming from the Baltic In reply Sir A. Buchanan said that the dis ease instated to be a fever new in Russia, but not uukuowarin other parts of Europe, and it is said to be' diminishing. Lord Napier said that the Prussian Minister of the Interior had toid him that an unknown disorder had appear ed along the valley of the Vistula; but that he was not aware that it came from Russia. The consul at Dantzic says that the disorder preva lent in that diatrim is a complaint of the brain, chiefly affecting children. Theoonsul at War saw said that some cases of typhus occurred there; but no disease having the proportions of an epidemic disorder had appeared in Po land. The con ml at Konigsbcrg reports that no particular epidemic disorder existed there, and the consul at Mernel said that no symptoms of the disease appeared in that district nor in the adjacent Ru3siau provinces: and a tele gram from the consul at Stettin reported that no epidemic disorder prevailed there. Our latest reports item Vienna assure us that the imagination plays a tolerably large part in the propagation of the tumors which depict the horrors of this new plague. Late and re assuring despatches had. to a great extent, qui eted the public mind in £aris. in face of the fact that very many RdjSWans were daily arri ving there in an endeavor to “run awav frcm the plague.” What, then, is the nature of this visitation? What the main exciting o arise-of the malady ? Dr. Charles Murchison,of I tondon—than whom no higher authoriiy nn iiuch a subject exists in the Old World—replies to these queries in 3uoh a lucid manner that we borrow his words He says* ‘‘lf the details furnished by foreign physicians are to be relied on, it is not anew pest which has invaded the world, nor has the disease any relation whatever to AsiaKtic chol era . The malady is evidently fe'apsing fever, which under different designations, ha i beep well known in Britain and Ireland for nearly two c> nturies, which constituted a groat part of the Irish epidemic of 1847, and which about the same time was very prevalent in Uppur Silesia and in other parts of Cm many. The Russian disease corio3poiids wit., relapsing fe vei in every particular save one viz, its gre it Utaiity ; but this difference is apparent lVther than real, and is attributable to on admixtu~e of ordinary typhus. The mortality from re lapsing fevei has rarely exceeded three per cent; bnt almost all epidemics ol relapsing fever have co-existed with epidemics of typhus of which the average mortality is nearly twen ty per cent. Hence the aggregate mortality of an epidemic of the two cLicaocs vanes with the proportion of typhus. And again ‘‘The causes assigned for the Russian epidemic are the crowding into St. Petersburg of forty-three thousand iaboiers in search of work, bnt more particularly* tha un usual destitution among the poor, and their recourse tf> unwholesome food, such as bread containing a large quantity of horned rye. The epidemic, we are told, is “exclusively confined to the poorer classes.’ In this in spect the relapsing fever ot Russia is not singu lar. In this country the disease has always been confined to the. poorest classes. Inmost of the accdutrts of Irish epidemic* of relaps ing fever, arrtl in that of the Silesian epidemic, it is stated that the inhabitants were not only starving, but that they subsisted on unwhole some articles of diet—such as the roots of trees, grass, fungi, &c. The public need be under jjttle apprehension as to the importation of the Russian epidemic into England. The more formidable of the two diseases compos ing ft is here (in London; already.”—Vow York Her&ld. _ _ ‘ _ | IMPOK 1 4!\T LBTrNH FROM J W. i His Original PurjXise re as to make Mr TJ>- coin a Prisoner Hi s’ Rrasoni for HL- Action .

For lour years have I waittd, hoped and prayed for the darkclou is to break, 'and for a restoration of our former sunshine. To wuit longer would be a crime. All hope ior peace is dead. My prayers have proved as idle as my hopes. God’s will be done. Jgo to see and share tbe hitler end. 1 have ever held the South were right. > in very nomination of Abraham Lincoln, four years ago, spoke plainly war—war,upon South ern lights and institutions. ' His election prov ed it. “Await an over act.” Yes, till you are bound and plundered. What folly! Tho South were wise Who "thinks of argument or patience when the finger of his efcemy presses on the trigger t In a foreign war, I too, could say, ‘ Country, right or wrong.” But in a struggle Bucias ours (where the brother tries to pierce the brother's heart), lor Gill’s sake choose the right. When a this spurns justice irom her side she forfeits the al legiance of every honest freeman, and should leave him, untrammelled by any fealty soever, to act as liis conscience may approve. People of the North, to hate tyranny, to love liberty and justice ; to strike at wrong and op pression, was the teaching of our fathers. The Btudy of our history will not let mo fqjget it, and may it never. This country was formed for the white not for the black man. And, looking upon Af rican slavery from the same standpoint heid by the noble framers of our constitution, 1, for one - , have, ever considered it one of the greatest blessings (both for themselves aud us) that God over bestowed upon a favored na tion. Witness heretofore our wealth and power, witness their elevation and enlighten ment above their race elsewhere. I have lived among it most of my life, aud have seen less harsh treatment from master to man than I have beheld in the North from lather to son. Yes, heaven knows, no one would be willing to do more for the negro race than I, could 1 but see a war to still better their condition. But Lincoln’s policy is only preparing the way for their total annihilation. The South are not, nor have they been fighting for the continuation of slavery. Tho first battle of Bull Ruu did away with that idea. Their causes s nee for war have been as noble and greater far than those that urged our fathers on; Even sbbuld we allow they were wrong at the beginning of this contest, cruelty and iu* justioe haye made the wrong become tho right, and they stand now (before the wonder and admiration of the world) as a noblo band of patriotic heroes. Hereafter, reading of their deeds, Therroopylce will be forgotten. When I aided in the capture and execution of John Brown (who was a murderer on our western border, and who wa,s faiily tried and convicted, before an impartial judge and jury, of treason, and who, by the way, has since been made a god,) I wus proud of my little fthftVft in iVlfl trsiridnotion, tor T Jfc cay duty, and that I was helping our common country to perform an a:t of justice. Bat what was a crime in poor John Brown is now considered (by themselves) as the greatest and only virtue of the whole republican party. Strange transmigration! Vice to become a virlue simply because more indulge in it! I thought thhn, as now, that the aboli tionists were the only traitors in the land, and that the entire party deserved the same late as poor old Brown ; not because they wish to abolish slavery, but on account of the means they have ever endeavored to use to effect that abolition. If Brown were living i doubt whether he himself would set slavery against the Union. Most, or many in the North do, and openly, curse the Union if the South .are to return and retain a siugle right guaranteed to them byeveiy tie which we once revered as sacred. The South can make no choice. It is either extermination or slavery tot them selves (worse than death) to draw irom. I know my choice. I have also studied hard to discover upon What grounds the right of a State to secede has been denied, when our very name, United States, and the Declaration of Independence, b )th provide for secesrion. But there is no time for words. I write in haste. I know how foolish I shall be deemed for undertaking such a step as this, where, ou the one side, I have many friends and everything to make me happy, where my profession alone lias gained me an income of more than twenty thousand dollars a year, and where my great personal ambition in my profession Ims such a great field for labor. On the other band, the South have never bestowed upon rao one kind word ; a place now where *i have no friends except bemath the sod ; a place where I must either become a private soldier or a beggar. To give up all the former for the latter, be sides my mothei and sisters whom I love so dearly (although they so widely differ with me in opinion,) 6eems insane ; but God is my judge I love justice more than Ido a coun try that disowns it; more than fame and wealth, more (Heaven pardon me if wrong,) more than a happy home. I have never been upon a battlefield; but oh! my countrymen, could you but see the reality or effects of this horrid war as I have seen them (in every State save Virginia,) I know you would think like me, and would pray the Almighty to create in the Northern mind a sense of light and jastion (even should it possess no seasoning of mercy ) and that he would dry up this sea of blood bo tween us, which is daily growing wider. Alas ! poor country, is she to meet her threatened doom.' Four \ ears ago i would have given a thou sand lives to see her remain I had always kfcown her) powerful ajid unbroken. And even now I would hold my life as naught to see her what she was. Oh ! my friends, if the fearful scenes of the past four years had never been enacted, or if what Las been bad been but a frightened dream, from which we could now awake, with what oveiflowing heaits could we bless God and pray for his continued favor ! How 1 have loved the o.d flag can m*ver now be known. A few years since and the entire world could boast of none so pure and spotless. But I have of late been seeing and hearing of the bloody deeds of which she haß been made tue emblem, and would shudder so think how changed she had grown. Oh: how I have longed to see her break from the midst of blood , and death that circles round her folds, spoiling her beauty and tarnishing her honor. But no, day by day has she been dragged deeper and deeper into cruelty and oppression, till now (in my eyes) her once bright red stripes look like bloody gashes on the face of heaven. I look now upon my early admiration of her glories as a dream. My love (as things stand to-day) is for the South alone. Nor do I deem it a dishonor in attempting to make for her a prisoner of this man, to whom she ewes so much of misery. If success attend me Igo penniless to her side. They say.she has found that “last ditch” which the North have so long derided and been endeavoring to force her in, forgetting they are our brothers, and that it is impolitic to goad an enemy to m id ness. Should I reach her in safety and if irae, I will proudly beg permission to triumph or die in that same -‘ditch’ by her side. jjsst < *‘' It is one of the advantages Os practical vir tue, that, tlOJgh in flta coime, there may be first and last* yet nobody who r&a it fairly ever failed. sri..iV ii.iv • i s.\u£ - Pcs-in'i , v ,T take so go ahead WllUi.g to •: v v* s t;> r;j.. *ijf yoii ft id i.. yod: u * tu. the ;»:s3oiuit of wait iwatitifni iorm i. battei (ban ab( | lf r ; ■! !m> lU iiiti iviu’vior is better ffi u . ii! iorm : it gives a higher pleasm n-i;. r pictures; it L the finest of ? arfs.
