The morning after the errital of hie M t Perry drore with him to eee . ’motael friend, William Corooran, In paaaing the White Houae, Perry poeely remarked: FToombe, yon had better go in and eee Fob no; I am not a citizen of thie intry,” retorted the fiery Southern Nothing more wee eaid, end they drore Inaad the boaatifol Lafayetta^ equate, uoefrom the heerte of a hundred bios- . pant it all to the quaint, irregular of brioka forming the picturesque • of Corcoran, the banker.

On laaring, the ker whowiehed toaroid the cobble- Dea’corering the roadway of H, from Ihteenth atreat to Vermont arenue, mad hie horaee and again drore down aranao. Aa they were nearing the ■oaident'e, Toomba aaid: [“Perry, if I ware to go to a foreign iuiitry I'd anraly, if practicable, pay my iota to the potentate of that ooun- ’'“Why not, then, go to ace your Preei- Jeatr The order waa giraa, and the horaee f were coon reined in front of tbeExeou- " tire Mansion. Alighting, they went in- up the long flight of atepe and into the room where ao much weary, heart-weary, ing, aoul-killing, pationt-waiting ia done —where they found the uaual crowd, eome on idle buainaae, aoma on maltera pertaining to life and death. There wdb a Bad-faced woman come here for tha pardon of her eon, oonrioted of forgery and sent to the Albany peniten tiary—with her is the grand-father of the erring man, who striras in erery way kuown to hia rough nature to soothe the distressed mother. The cards of Mr. Perry and Oeneral Toomba are taken in, but the fear expressed that hia Excellency could aeo no one until after 1 o’clock. Scarcely a moment bad elapsed when the messenger returned and exited: “The President will see Gen. Toombs and Mr. Forty.” On entering the room Gen. Grant rose to receive them and Gen. Toomba aaid: “I am not a citizen of this country, Gen. Grant, but being in town X have oalled to pay my respects to you as the ruler of thia nation.” “Oh, never mind about that, Gen. Toombs," answered Grant, “ait down. I am glad to ace you at last, for I bunted very unsuccessfully after you during the war.” The interview lasted nearly two hours, and was characterised by the greatest jol lity imaginable. At Sue time the conver sation turned on cotton,and Gen. Toomba waa amazed to find the President knew almost as much on that aubject aa he did. Gan. Grant baa been uniformly kind to all Southern people who have aonght fa vors at hia bands, and among the people of that desirable oountry be has many warm, ataunoh friends. awmksppsts by the Million. From the Owatonaa (Minn.) Journal.] Mr. I, Wood, of Medford, has traveled through a part of tbe oountry infested with grasshoppers, and aays the want and daHintinn are not exaggerated. In some sections the growing crops are entirely destroyed, and the. number of these in sects dan only be counted by millions, whiU ovary day adds tons of thouaanda mom. He thinks tbe prospect ia deci dedly dark for the people of those coun ties. In Window the streets are so full that one oannot atop without covering flfty, and tbe people are forced to dose thtir houses to keep them out. Every speoiea of growing crop ia aubjeot to their ravagea. Not only farmers but business men are alike suffering from the result of their depredations, ana a great many are taking advantage of the provisions of Mr. Donnell's bill allowing them to leave their homesteads without forfeiting them, and are going to other parts of the State for work.

DIRECTORS; THE COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN Is the only thoroughly independent paper South. It believes we are to win; not by complaining about the past, but working for the future. While it gives proper space and notice to all political matters of State and National impor tance, it aims to call the attention of emigrants and capital ists to our great resources and to build up the South on a basis that has for its foundation industry and economy. While disclaiming to be the organ of any creed, party or society, all its tendencies will be in favor of TEMPER ANCE, MORALITY and RELIGION. Being deeply interested in the success of the farmers, and having implicit faith in the grand destiny of the GRANGES, the EN QUIRER-SUN will devote a large space, under Z capable editor, to AGRICULTURE, and in chronicling the move ments of the Patrons of Husbandry. THE DAILY ENQUIRER-SUN Will contain all the latest National, State, Local and For eign news, devoting much space to Alabama interests. Its' editorial management will be fearless for right, and while recording passing events it will not neglect the arts, sci ences ana the advancement in the world’s material progress. THE WEEKLY ENQUIRER Will give weekly a digest of all Foreign and Nation d neWs. It will devote much space to Southern intellige: e and will contain original articles on Agriculture,the Grim; s and other matters that will be of incalculable benefit to vtfe planter and general reader. The SUNDAY ENQUIRER-SUN While giving the latest news, aims to bscome what is much needed, viz.: A GREAT SOUTHERN LITERARY WEEKLY ,! .
