physiognomy is of he Corsair character, and

rose to .animate the hopes of mankind.' "
Throughout ail parts of the South, he is re'
garded as the most consummate General of
the world; hence, when he capitulated,-they
gave lip the cause as hopeless.
I conversed with the rebel lender on a variety
of snbieois. unon ail of which lie expressed
opinions. Ho was very omphalic in his utterances,
and seemed to to have weighed every

President met with his hearty detestation, and
ho regards that terrible deed as a calamity

think the rebellion is ended} he answered,

Paroled Soldiers.
It Ins boon a curious question with some
persons, whether the number of applicants lor
paroles is as great at other pr,in<s as that of'
Macon, and if to, what must be the total number
of Confederate soldiers yet alive and kicking,
of whom commanders ih the licld could
have. nothing 2 A gentleman remarked in cur
presence the other day, that the daily crowds
at the Provost Marshal's office, seeking paroles,
exceeded what lie had been led to believe the
entire active force of the Confederate army,
and asked-where they could have come from.
Sonic one, standing by, facetiously replied,
' why, don't you see from the mud on their I
shoes and hrecchcA, th.it they arc jhsfc otit c;fj
tliHswam;.:' Pi-Hups these are n portion of
the two thirds absentees from the army, to
which Mr. Davis alluded foiu one of his speeches
i;i t his city. Many of them, we-doubt not,
have hecn perfectly harmless as belligerents
during the war, and can have unjust grounds
for appivhgnsinn that tIn y will he held amount
able as arms hearing rebels AVh n ? lull return
of ail Coufederates who have boon paroled
since tl-e surrender of Generali Lee auil Joliuson^hall
be made, it will present some curious
statistics, more flattering, pel haps, In the numerical

that the printing of three and five cent n tos

that some argue, that the people pre/*

p isite is true. Th? paper being less valuable,
eveiy holder pays it fir?t away, thus keeping
it steadily in circulation, while the coin, as a
thing more valuable, is rsconced in some out
of the way pocket. Remove tho cheap, dirty,
five cent notes, and the coin will at once come
forth; and gradually break the way for the retiring
of the ten cent notes.?Philadelphia

ANDREW JOHNSON,
lty tin- President:
W. Hunter. Actine Secretary of State.
An Army's March.?Gen. Shermans army
in its Ififit march lo meet Johnson, would if it
occupied a single road- require 125 miles of
road to stretch itself upon* The wagon trains
of tin's army cannot march on leas than forty
miles of road. The batteries will cover seven
miles, its ambulances five. It carries I,8O0,OUO
rations of bread, the same amount of sugar,
and the same of salt. 800 wagon loads of
lnvad, find 0,600,000 rations of coffee arc provided
for the trip, and for a few days rations
of rait meat, 375,000 pounds are deemed a
fair allowance.
The single item ot amunition requires 1,000
wagons?a train of itself nearly twelve miles
iuilirs long. The men, in fours, could not
march well closed up on less than twenty-five
miles of road. 2,500 pack mules follow its
regiments. Ami these calculations do not include
the intervals between different commands,
nor al.ow anything for the great gaps which
any slight delay will n^ahc in a uioviDg column.
Chief Ji stjce Chase Cets another No
tick from Ohio.?The Republicau State Convention
of Ohio, which lias just closed its tabor?,
declined to eoniurt the party in that
State to the radical policy of negro suffrage
in the work of Southern reconduction. There
is another notice from Ohio to Chief Justice
Chase that he is a little too fast. It will be
remembered that he had a similar notice given
him last year, expressing a decided preference
for Abraham Lincoln and his careful and canlions
policy over the haphazard radical schemes
;.ud thoorics of Salmon P. Chase and his followers
The Chief Justice seems to be making
no more headway against "Andy Johnson"
than he did against "Honest Old Abe" for the
succession.? Tribune of the 24$4.
Secretary TreNHOlM.?Secretary TrcDholm
left here 6 o'clock Saturday evening, on
hoard the steamer Wm. P. Clvde. for Port
Royal. It is believed he is to be confined in
Fort Pulaski. The demonstrations of respect
pnd sympathy for this unfortunate put noble
hearted gentleman and public spirited citizen
of Charleston, since bis arrival here have been
nnivprsal. The grief anrmg the poorer classes,
to whom he has always been a benefactor, was
intense. A petition to President Johnson for
the special pardon of Mr. Trenbolm was drawn
up, and 1ms been very extensively signed.
