Andy Johnson (search for this): article 1
Notes of the War. The Northern papers raise something of shout over the appointment of Andy Johnson as Brigadier- General, and his transfer from the Senate to the position of "Provisional Military Governor" of Tennessee.--They seem to regard it as fully settled that the people of Tennessee will hall their new "Governor" with an enthusiasm which no other man could command. In connection with this appointment, the New York Herald discusses old Abe's "Union policy" as follows: We thinkhich we find in the personnel of the legitimate State Government, and in the representation of the State in the houses of Congress. We dare say, however, that under the instructions of the President, and with a powerful army to support him, Governor Johnson will fulfill the public expectations in the restoration of the law and order of the Union in Tennessee. Proposed tax upon newspapers. The Tax bill introduced in the Federal House of Representatives by Mr. Stevens, proposes to place

erican Brigadiers. The following is from a recent number of the London Saturday Review: Mr. Lincoln deserves compassion for the difficulty which he experiences in finding suitable candidates for the different offices in his gift. Mr. Cameron, after becoming too notorious at home, is made a Minister Plenipotentiary, and Mr. Cassites Clay, whom he supersedes, having made himself unusually absurd at St. Petersburgh, is to be consoled with the commission of Brigadier-General. Americans seem not to understand the comic impression which is produced on the minds of foreigners by the language of the involuntary buffoons, or simpletons, whom it is their pleasure occasionally to employ. Mr. Clay commenced his mission to Russia by delivering at Paris an extravagant speech against England, which he thought proper to threaten with a French invasion. On arriving at his destination he was overwhelmed by the condescension of "Prince Alexander Gortschakoff III., Minister of Foreign

e the rebellion, 'stock, lock, and gun-barrel, hook and line, bob and sinker.'" The gods have granted half his prayer in conceding the slowness of the Federal progress; and Mr. Clay himself, in his military capacity, will be in time to insure the final result before the bob and sinker have finally disappeared. The difficulty of conducting a great war when it is thought necessary to give General's commissions to such addle-brained prattlers, may, in a certain sense, be admitted as a partial excuse for the blunders and helplessness of every branch of the Federal Administration. The approaching failure of funds may be converted into a public benefit, if it enables the Government to relegate into private life the chattering Brigadiers and Colonels who have suddenly risen from the stump into the saddle. Mr. Stanton has refused to confirm 1,400 of Mr. Cameron's commissions, and if he were to cancel as many more on the pretext of economy, he would probably do good service to the army.

emonstrative but original welcome, till a couple of other females issued from the same shanty, and forcibly carried her in-doors. It may be suspected that her loyal recognition sprang rather from whiskey than patriotism — a suspicion that my own mind is not altogether free from, as I have carefully reflected upon this singular and almost isolated case of Union feeling. The other case was also that of an Irish lady, and seemed more the result of genuine loyalty than of stimulants. As Gen. Grant and Staff were riding through the city, a woman rushed out from a house, and throwing up her hands in the style adopted by cruel parents when they say "Bless you, my children," in fifteen-cent novels, exclaimed; "God bless ye, gintlemen! Success go wid ye! Arran, git in there, ye thafe, and don't be boderin' the life out o' me!" The last remark, I may say, was accompanied by a resounding slap, and was addressed to a dirty-faced gessoon that thrust his unkempt head beyond the doorway — an

We dare say, however, that under the instructions of the President, and with a powerful army to support him, Governor Johnson will fulfill the public expectations in the restoration of the law and order of the Union in Tennessee. Proposed tax upon newspapers. The Tax bill introduced in the Federal House of Representatives by Mr. Stevens, proposes to place several heavy taxes upon newspapers, and the consequence is quite a commotion among the individuals who control the New York press. The Herald claims that it would have to pay from thirty to forty thousand dollars a year in the form of taxes for the support of the Government, but facetiously remarks that this large sum would be cheerfully paid, and hopes that the bill may soon become a law. The following is a pleasing picture of the harmony existing in the "happy famil

Mr. Clay judiciously informed His Imperial Majesty that he should rather like a war with England, and "the Emperor seemed to like my defiance of old John Bull very much. " It must be admitted that great potentates can seldom find in the formal reception of a diplomatist so much opportunity for amusement. Mr. Clay concludes the dispatch with the hope that Gen. Scott will "slowly and surely subdue the rebellion, 'stock, lock, and gun-barrel, hook and line, bob and sinker.'" The gods have granted half his prayer in conceding the slowness of the Federal progress; and Mr. Clay himself, in his military capacity, will be in time to insure the final result before the bob and sinker have finally disappeared.

pirit of its proprietors, leave no doubt that its contribution will be cheerfully paid, and even doubled if the Government requires the sacrifice. The Sunday papers, however, must either unite or become extinct. On the part of the public we sincerely desire that the Sunday press may decide upon the latter alternative; but, if all the Sunday papers bundle together, we suggest that the result be called the Sunday Sewer, and wish it all the success it deserves and can obtain as a new rival to Barnum's "Happy Family." By all means, then, let the tax bill pass immediately. The Government needs the money it will realize from the taxes, and the public is anxious for the newspaper reforms the taxes will inaugurate. "the ladies of Nashville" A correspondent of a Northern paper, writing of the evidences of treason among the ladies of Nashville, says: I have seen only two cases of women who are loyal, and both of these are among what might be called the "lower walks" of so

im by "again shaking hands" The Emperor paid the United States Minister a more unusual compliment by "speaking American mostly." The proverbial astuteness of the House of Romanov is strikingly illustrated by the labor which the Emperor must have devoted to the acquisition of that nasal dialect of English which is seldom mastered by Europeans. Mr. Clay judiciously informed His Imperial Majesty that he should rather like a war with England, and "the Emperor seemed to like my defiance of old John Bull very much.

ld be left to them, and to every other slave State of the present day, as it was left originally to the slave States of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and others. This is the policy of "Honest Abe Lincoln;" and as it has been consistently pursued in the reclamation of Maryland, Missouri, Kentucky, and Tennessee, from the gripe of this rebellion, we may venture the opinion that it will still be adhered to, all the emancipation schemes of Sumner, Trumbull, Lovejoy, Cheever, Beecher, and Greeley, to the contrary notwithstanding. It is this policy which has broken down the stronghold of the rebellion in the West, and which, if not disturbed, will speedily break up the whole concern. We expect shortly to find it fully developed in the complete restoration of Tennessee to the laws and benefits of the Union. In this connection we would suggest, however, that no State convention is necessary. Tennessee is not in the condition of a province wrested from a foreign enemy. She has
