Soe List of Lette«* on Fourth

Oil on the Troubled Waters.
The policy dictated by President J ohn
son, of "pouring oil on the troubled wa
ters'' is very plainly embraced in the
sentiment» and doctrines ho has pro
mxilged in his dealing» with the South.
In thia, he lias a right to expect a unity
and community of heart on the part of the
entire nation, leaving out of course, that
radical element in certain portion», which
seek* to rule and domineer over the peo
ple, Togardless of their vosted rights and
the principles of Constitutional govern
ment.
Tlie good men of the country aro every
where, wo are pleated to soo, coming for
ward in earnest to tho support of the
President'» reconstruction measureH and
lending a motive power to the great mis
sion he has undertaken that promises tri
umphant results.
A political confraternity, irrespective of
old party issuoa and ties is becoming more
firmly established betwoen conservative
men of all partioe in tho various sections
of the Union, giving hopeful assurances of
future harmony and tranquillity. It bo
hooves every honest citizen to aid in fos
lering and perpetuating this desirable
work. It is what tho President has a
right to expect in viow of the high exam
ples he himself has sot. It is what, the
entire country demands in view of the
dangers and consequences of past turmoils,
strifes and distraction».
Accessory to a more perfect, return of
intersections! good feeling, is that spirit of
mutual amity and concord manifested be
tween business men of tho North and
South in their renewals of commercial and
social intercourse, and al <o between the
members of those wide-spread benevo
lent, organization's—the Masonic and Ol H
Fellows.
A correspondent of the Boston Adorn tittr
writing from Charleston. S. C., and speak
ing of the miinner in which ^onthorn
murchants are treated at the North, says :
"I queried of the returning merchant»
on the steamship, how they were recoivod
in the North.
"One Charleston man said, 'I asked for
sixty days, aud got it without n word of
objection.' Another told tno that he asked
for four months, was given tbreo, and
treated like a gentleman everywhere.
"Another showed me the receipt for a
debt of about fiftocn hundred dollars, con
tracted before the war, which he had paid
in full; und ho asked for four month» on a
bill of eight thousand dollars, which wa»
readily given.
"Still another settled his old indebted
ness with ono-third cash, and eight and
twelve months' notes for tho balance,
while he got ninety days oil three-fourths
of his new bill. One man said ho bad
many friends in the North, and they all
know ho had been a thorough rebel. He
expccted some taunts, but tried to carry
himself like a gentleman, aud was courte
ously recoivod, 'oven in Boston.' These
aro specimens of a score ef answers I have
received to this question."
Wo have seen mentioned from time to
time, numerous other instances wherein
Southern men who had been in business
prior to the war, and who, having shown
sinco tho close of the war a disposition to
meet their honest obligations, have l>een
met by their former Northern creditors in
a spirit of magnanimity accompanied by
generous proffers of assistance to enable
them to resume business.
The Odd Follows of tho United States,
through their Committee sent a letter to
President J ohnson , inviting him to be
present, at their lato grand celebration at
Baltimore. Tho President responded in a
lotter replete with noble sentiments and
brcailung the ir.ost fervont and flattering
wishes for tho great object souorht to be
attained by the order in iU efforts for sec
tional reconciliation. He also accepted the
invitation, and promised if possible to at
tend tho celebration, lie wa», however,
prevented from doing so ou account of
pressing duties. His non- attendance wa»
the cause of great disappointment. The
disappointment was to some extent modi
fied, when tho followiug chaiactcrintic ex
planation from the President was rend bo
fore the convocation :
"Gentlemen—I had hoped to be sblo to
dpfcopt jour kind invitation for to-morrow,
but I have found,upon careful survey, that
it would lie in compati bio with existing ar
rangements. I pray you to believe that. 1
rejoice in tho re-uniorj of your Order
throughout tho United States as an au
spicious presage of tho restoration of order
and complete political harmony through
out tho Union. I need hardly say, that in
my judgwont this is tho present moment,
tbe proper aim of true patriots.
"I have the honor to bo, very respect
fully, "Your obedient servant,
"A ndkew J ohnson."
Thus it is, we find tho President solicit
ous on all occasion» for tho "restoraion of
order and complete political harmony
throughout the Union," and his praise
worthy examples of "pouring oil on the
troubled waters," emulated by the good
men of the country in their individual
and collective capacities.
t-Sf It is estimated that fifty per cent
um of the Southern indebtedness of 1860

present business of New York ie Southern
trade. Boston is, also, beginning to feol
tho benefit of the presence of Southern
purchasers, and this benefit will be in
creased as our customers ascertain that tha
unforgiving and prescriptive feelinga ex
pressed toward them by Sumner, Butler

)i#.—Iu his lotter, just published, Mont
gomery Blair has tbe following about Gen.
Lee :
It was tbe fall of Sumter that produced
on the instant the ordinance of secession,
and filled Virginia with troops from the
Gulf States, to carry it before the people.
Its effect upon ordinary men may be con
ceived by the influence it exerted over
G*n. Leo. My futhor wus authorised by
the President and Mr. Cameron, Secretary
of War, to converse with Gen. Loo, and
ascertain whether he would take command
of our army in tho field. Tho latter was
written for, and ho met my father at my
house, where thoy conversed for an hour
or moro. It was a fow duys before tbe.or
dinance of secession was passed. Gen.
Leo concluded the conversation by saying,
'secession was anarchy,' and added, that it'
ho owned the four millions of slaves in
the South, lie would cheerfully sacrifice
them to save the Union, but he did not
know how he could draw bis sword on hi*
State.' He suid he would see Oen. Scott
on tho subject before he decided. A com
mittee from the Virginia Convention,
while the General aud my lather con versed,
wore hunting for him through the city.
They met him on his loaving the bouse.
Ho repaired with thom to consult with
tho Convention, as I liavo since learned,
about some mode of settlement. The fall
of Sumter settled the question for him and
tbe Convention."
M ormonism S nüeiibi ». —Brigham Young
lately sent a colony of Mormons to the
Sandwich Islands, and had tho impudence
to ask liberty for his missionarie* to
spread there what he calls'Hho true faith.' 1
To this request the Secretary of State re
plies, that tbe Mormon tenet* are subver
sive of good government and in violation
of the laws ofthe kingdom,and that ef
forts to establish a colony ot the "Saint»"
will not be tolerated. The letter conchidcs
as follow»:
"As long as your friends limit t.heni
»elves to carrying on their agricultural aud
mochanical operations they will be protec
ted in their industry, but thoy never can
be recognized here on a footing with Chris
tian mis»ionarios us teachers, as those
words are ordinarily understood,"
t-W The great captain, the Duke of
Marlborough," says Dr. King, "when ha
was in the la»U,ttage of life and very in
firm, would wiÄ from the public rooms in
Bath to hi» lodgings on a cold, dark night,
to save sixpence in chair hire. If the Duke,
who left at his death moro than a million
und a half sterling, could have foreseen
that, all bis wealth and honor were tobe
inherited by a grandson of my Lord Tre
vor's, who had been one of hi«' onemies,
would he have been so cureful to save six
pence tor the auks of his heir? Not for
Iii» sake of bis heir; but ho would always
have -saved a sixpence." And this is an
other story to the same point. "What!"
exclaimed au attorney, iu amazement, as
lie paused in taking down instructions foT
ewill from the mouth of a wealthy old
skinflint, "you leave all this to your neph
ew !" Why, he'll spend it in a twelve
month." "Well," replied tbe old fellow,
"I only hope he'il have as much pleasure
in spending it as I have hud in saving it."
G en. C heatham's A pplication .—Accor

said in his application for pardon: "You
