PRESIDENT JOHNSON'S DEClSN
Jn .these times, when bo rnueb do
y ends upon the decision of chat Abler
of oar: President) Buch anecdotes as
the following are very encouraging:
The day 'before the execution of the
1 assassins there was a great deal of
discussion in this city about the proba
ble reprieve of Mrs. Suratt. 'A cora-
.pa.ny.of gentleman were at the Astor
House, most of whom agreed that the
woman would not be executed, some
assigning the reason that the President
would not have pluck enough to brave
publio sentiment, and allow a woman
"to bo nun. A, well known merchant
of JNow York who was present coolly
remarked, " A man who talks about
Andy Johnson's want of pluck evi
dently don't know the man. If
. Andy Johnson has signed the death
warrant of Mrs. Suratt sho will dio.
If he had intended to have reprieved
her, he would have signed it." lie
added " Let me tell you what I know.
I was shut up in Nashville when the
oity was surrounded by twenty thou
sand rebel troops, who demanded its
surrender. Gen. Buell was in the city
'in command of ten thousand men.
,110 determined on tho surronder of
the city to the rebel forces- He came
to Gov. Johnson and annonncud that
ho could not defend the city, and
that Naghvillo must bo surrendered.
The Governor heard him quietly
through, and then replied; You are
n command of the United ; States
'troops, and caq do as yon please with
them. But two of the regiments be
long to the State of Tennessee. Over
those I nave control. In the center
of the" city is a powder magnzinojl
have trenches dug connecting the
magazine with every prominent build
ing in Nashvilld, and trains are laid.
Mow you march out with your troops.
,111 defend the city with my two reg
iments as long as I can. When I can
do no more, I will fire the oity and
blow it to tho heavens, for Nashville
shall never be surrendered while I am
alive.' Buell did not march out, and
Nashville was not eurreudorod. "What
I tell you," said tho merchant, " I
heard. But tho moral grandeur and
heroism of these utterances cannot bo
told, And that," quietly remarked
'.the merchant, " is Andy Johnson, nud
. bo all will find him who have to do
.'with hira." '
A Combustible Mud. At a recent
. mooting of tho Asiatic Society of lion
,: gal, Major Risky described a com
' bustible mud of which ho first heard
last September. It exists in large
tracts, notably in the rortobghur dis
trict in Oude, whero thoro is a j heel or
swamp of black mud which looks
. liko ashes and smoulders like wood.
The -mud, whin dried, blazes quite
freely. It has been triod at Cawnpo
by Mr Taylor, the locomotive fore.
. man, and was found to tnve nearly
as much steam as wood. " It would
do very well for locomotives,- and
could be supplied at six annas the
.maund." When charred it can be used
in a black&mith'sfurnace. The ashes,
of. which it loaves a great deal, will
(they aay) be very useful as a manure
lor poor sandy soils. Bits of bono and
fragments of deoayed wood were found
'in it at considerable depths. The
1 Calcutta analyzers call it impure peat,
resulting from tho continual . de
composition of vegetable matter at
, tho bottom of the marsh. It iscnri
ous that the 1 natives, though woll
- aware of properties, make no use of it :
the reason being that it owes its or
igin, to. enormous sacrifices of ghee
i and grain burnt in situ by god-like
pooplo in old time. - ;
The London Times is assailing Queen
, yictoria again; requiring of her to put
an end to hor.syetem of seclusion, and
- bo live as to beseen moro by hor people.
- Love is proud and shy, and waits
, r terous and general, and enjoys a largo
ipongregatioo. '- ' .- ,:W -a ...... an 1 '
