Lee were the most popular men in the country to the Southern people, but that they prefer Andrew Johnson for President to General Lee; that the feeling on the part of the former masters of the freedmen is most vindictive to the colored people of that section, and predicting that in five years they would either be in power or fighting us again. (roughout all the Southern States, predicting that unless these cruelties cease, they will goad the freedmen to that point when "patience ceases to be a virtue," and an insurrection will consequently follow. Taxes in North Carolina. President Johnson has ordered Governor Holden to prohibit the sheriffs of North Carolina from executing the provisions of the revenue law passed by the State Convention, which levies taxes on business transactions as far back as January 1, 1865, when a large
Greeley on the President's message. President Johnson yesterday transmitted to the Senate deeply interesting reports recently made to him on the condition of the South by General Grant, General Howard and General Schurz, accompanying them by a brief message, wherein he recommends an early restoration of the States lately in rebellion to all the rights and privileges which they forfeited by attempting to break up the Union.

Mr. Johnson is now positively committed to the enforcement of the right of the South to Congressional representation, and the Select Committee of Fifteen might as well send in their report at once, and ask to be discharged from the consideration of a foregone conclusion.--New York News. The News gives Mr. Seward a hint, in another article, that the Southern people, from whose sympathies only one question — that of slavery — ever separated him, will probably rally to his support and elect him to

Fessenden, of Maine; Grimes, of Iowa; Howard, of Michigan; Johnson, of Maryland, and Williams, of Oregon. Mr. Sumner presented the petition of colored citizens of Tennessee, protestidenied that there was any quarrel between the President and the majority party in the Senate. He did not believe that Mr. Johnson would desert the party that placed him where he is, nor that he would prove untrue to the great principles which had tphed. He did not believe there was any possibility of the Democratic party coming into power through the agency of President Johnson. House.--Delos R.

Distinguished arrival. --Brigadier-General W. R. Peck arrived in Staunton Monday, and was warmly welcomed by his numerous friends.
