Johnson of-Tcnn?Resolutions that liave the Right King U? them..... ... Gtov. Johnson saijl: Whon the -Southern leaders saw. the scepter of political p'ower departing, and saw, when Mr. Lincoln's term expired, that other men would make their way into the confidence of the people over them it was their time to strike. . They,did, and we see tho result What is it to end in, if we are to have a civil war whenever a party is defeated? It will end in confu sion, nnarohy, exhaUBtion'of our resources, and natiouul extinction.' The true policy wh.cn Mr. Lincoln was elected was, let him go on, call a Cabinet around him, and, if his policy was wise and good, sus tain it; if not, Oppose it, as we had done in times past. Where was tho danger from Lincoln's eleotion ? The majority of the Congress; on the day 6F,his inaugura tion, was opposed to him; and he cbiild not form a Cabinet without tho Senate's confirmation of his- nqnunations. He could' not make treaties' without their ap proval, or draw his salary without Con gressional appropriation.-; We had him tied, and could liave negatived all his acts, if deemed^ nescessary5.' Where - then was the danger to tho rights of any Stato or citizen ? Thore was a fired determination to breakup the Govenrthen'tv'-it-was no new thing. He'read from the Montgom ery Mail, to show thatit'wiis no pi'eoipi tate thing,Jbut was .dop$,>yith coolness and deliberation." after- forty year's of thought and calculation. Gov. J. also read from an original letter of General Jackson to Crawford, of Georgia, his well known prediction of the next attempt at I rebellion, after nullification: "Therefore," says Jackson, "the Joriff.iB onlylhfi-flrfe text, and disunion and a Southern confed oraoy the real object, Tho next pretext will bo the negro." Isn't that it I said Gov. J. Doesn't it read like prophecy? Where now defwe find ourselves? Who commenced this diabolical and damnablo struggle? It was tho south who fired the first gun. The canspirfttors South were so afraid there would lie no Wjir, that lloger A. Pryor went to Charleston to commence it There a blow must be struck to carry Virginia out of tho Union; and the lirst gun was fired after they had been notified that the garrison, if not succored, would be starved out within three days. They could not wait for starvation to give them the fort, but bom barded it. W hen the blow wns struck, the news was sent to Montgomery, with tho speed?oij lightning. Jeff. Davis was ser enaded,' and his Secretary made a speech-,', in which lie declared that the Confederate Aug should, by tho 1st of May following, bo planted?w^iere?-< Not ovecjiichmond only, .but the Oapitol afc.Washington,.and over Independence Hall itself. When President .Lincoln wns called to actyl-determinted ltd; sustain him ns t nm determined now. Was it despotism to call out thexniliti ital? Vj" cotnplai have any complaint to make it is not that it has done so much, but because iL has not done more. Some are -distressed 'because they say Lincolu has violated the Constitu tion and trampled the laws /undyr fpot.-?I Some have failed, to s,eejtb'pl pi vis and his.] crew have drawn the Constitution troon its archives and trampled on it.^ They are. keen to 8eemrif-i'rregulari'tieBlo'n the'part Of the Administratioo, but failno say anything of tbqse who. have set aside .the^ Constitution and law. He predicted' that the attempt to erect a party on such a base was laying its foundation:in sand^and when the rains descended it would be iiwept ftjajyf' As to peaceable'separation' ana re construction, it was impossible. You can't divide the I Union without blood. Suppose you agree to tryitjwhera will-yoa'begio? where draw the fine? The frnmers of the Constitution design,?4.*bat thfiPnion should be perpet- | ual. He believed the Constitution con tained immutable and indestrn.ctible prio ciples, and, with the Government, would come out of the war triumphant. It cost our fathers seven years' war to establish it. They sacrificed life and I property fo^ it, labored in cabinet and field, 8leotonthe coldgrooBdi un'deran in clement sky, only to risA" With the morrow to march with-blood spouting from their I shoes, and by their trials, sufferings and blood cemented the Constitutional Gov ernment. Who here will.raisfe hW bail CTto destroy lit" Governor Johnson quoted-tho I preamble to the Constitution and fifth ar ticle, to show that the design was to make it perpetual, and provide for amendments whenever a change in the condition of the expanding republic demanded it. They provided to amend, not to destroy. Why, then, this civil war? Why not proceed in mode and manner, prescribed by tbe Con stitution? Onr troops are iu the field, and what croaking do we now- bear about peaceable separation and reconstruction 7 That is into the.hands.of the rebels. They know if we.separate reconstruction is im possible. The speaker attacked the fatal I heresy of secession, -denying that a State can go out of the Onion, regardless of the effect on other Slates. As weir might a man who had committed murder say, '?! am sovereign, the source of power, and came into the State voluntarily, and .will voluntarily go oat." Though he is sover eign, don't joa .believe the .other sover eigns ought' to panish him?

The adop tion by Congr.as of a proposed article amendatory of tie Constition, guaranteeing to slavo buitea a perpetual constitutional assurance that their right in slave property should never bedisturbed, and tbo passage ofj territorial bills covering every inch If territory, in which was incorporated a pro vision that the rights of private property should not be impaired,. or any discrimina tion used in taxation of property. Tbev rejeoted both these guarantees, determined them Te.n.W,"g'?>< fully guaranteed to them. This shows that they want no com promise. They loBt confidence iu our ca pacity for self governtneot. They wanted ?n aristocracy based upon the negro, a Southern empire, with Jeff Davis for a mon arch; and propose to: divide and conquer you, and make you supply men and money for its maintenance, with JTeffDavig, labam ?"'T i fS'u 10 b? your masters and mine.

The Capture of that Forage Train near Romney. Romney, Feb. 24,1863. Editors Intelligencer : In your issue of the 20th inst. there is a communication in rulation to the capture ol a forage train near Romney, not one Ben teuce of which is true from the beginning to the end of it. Who is this correspondent "lluDljpBbircV" who coward-like flees his home to New Creek, not even Btopping in take a loug breath by the way, until safelj anchored there, aud there only io send hi* foul tireath of slander broadcast through the /n<rf%<nc?-over the'laml ngainst lift-; soldiers of PcnnsjMvanfii. who tor the Inst '20 months have stood siiln by side and fought, with tho bravest of his own and other States to suppress this accursed re bellion, arid at the same time proteot the loyaVcitizens of Western Virginia both in his home and his rights? The train spo ken of in your former issue and the one in this slanderous communication are one and the same, it consisted bf about 20 wagons of 4 and G horse teams, and was guarded by a Capt. nud GO infantry, with a Serg't. and and 8 or 0 cavalry tpen ;?f the Ringgold Battalion, and four or five Virginia caval ry. These were in front of the train when the dash was made by Capt. McNeil nnd 26 men. 'The infantry craven and coward like threw down their arms nnd surren dered without firing a gun, us wejl as jll&li aiid"*teitTftB ?WTnr"th"eir wagons, which were nil bnrned except five which were rescued by a stand made by four or five Riuggold cavalrymen, after the rebels had takeu the horses from them. The Captain of the Inlaiitry ran olT fast lis his horse conld carry him, as he said, to carry the news of this glori ous feat to camp. Meeting the cavalry from | the front of the train coming to the rescue. He said "don't go back for God's sake, the I road is full of them." ? NevertheleBS five of I tho Ringgold cavalry batallion went and I made such a fight as not only to prevent*] them from taking any more but saved tho .5 wagons already unhorsed nnd about to be burnt. Not a man?not a wagon?nnt a horse which they were guarding was lost or captnrcd. The only cavulry are recap tured were teamsters and two or three of tbe Virginia cavalry, who had struggled beliiud. Who is this dictator of wiadom, who adyiscd decent, well-brod men and soldiers?who have been taught to fight for I the Flag and Constitution of our country nlene?to take pattern by nnd learn wis dom from McNeil, thu robber and high wayman, w^o lies skulking in tbe pine-1 bushes or'on the hilf-tops, waiting like a benst of prey ftr hia victims?who never attacks unless he is first informed that the party bo is about to fight have declared they won't fight?or are so few as to be un able to resist him. Then, nnd then only, he pounce's on them from bis biding place, I grasps bis prey and runs off with it, as he did in this case, to hide in some mountain fastness, where the uninitiated can never 1 come?Devil's Hole.
