The .ory goes, that Pat went ashore, on ;he coast of Africa and caught "a c greon spaking bird," pulled its wing, 1 put it in the inside of a coil of rope on 1 16c deck, daily visited it, and ondeav ored to draw it into conversation. Aftor several days of unsuccessful of fort, the crew began to make fun of i 1at and "his spaking bird." "Why, t,' said one, "he can't speak a toll." 'Paith and by Jasus, jest let him alono, jest give him time. Sure, he is jest thinking about it 'r We be lie to that Grant's thoughts for four months past, have been about as Original as Pat's parrot's. At last however, Grant has spoken, and what a speech I Inspired by the mloney and flaltery of bondholders throughout, we are reminded by it of the remarkable utterance of Color idge's silent man of genius. It se'ns that Coleridge was much impressed by the demeanor of a tall and corn manding---looking stranger with ca ipacious forulead, ongle-eye, regular 'eatures, and reticent manners, whon he chanced to dine with at a hotel. "Suroly," said he, "this is a man of iporior intellect and breeding ; I lunst seek no acquiaintance after din ve..' The stranger continued to in ir. l by his reticence and reserve, the favorable impression his wise looks and profound silence had made. But the table was at length cleared ; reveral small dumplings were placed before the silent man of genius. Thon, at length, tlo great man spoke; and Coleridge, all talk, but delightful talk as he was, ceased to regret his brilliant infirmity. For seizing hto1(1 of his fork, the silent man pldtnged it into a dumpling, and exulaimed, "Them is the jockeys for me 1" Before we subscribe to the loathe soen adulations of the' Now York hald, for example, we prefer to meditate a little upon the moral of Coleridge's "Silent man of Genius." "Speech," says Carlylo "Is mighty; but rilence is mnightior." Yes, indeed; but not the silence of Paddy's parrot, nor the speech of Coloridge's silent man. From the time of his lying to President Johnson to the present day, we can see in G rant only the miean tol o' usurpa tion, tyranny, revolution and despotimsm. A Oareer of Oonqumest. "Manifest Destiny" is scon about to miov3 on the Government of the United States towards the conquest aund absorpt ion of Cuba, Mexico and ('ttral America, and the annexation of' British America, too, should a fa. veranble crisis arise. That the govern mecnt for the present and theonext gen oration, will be essentially military and despotic, seems, then, a foregone conc(luionl. Thoe Senate and House of Replre.sentatives will perhaps be thme 'lepository, for a long time, of the ab solute power which alone can carry out popular wishes as to the na tional policy ; but that thme army will ultimately grow to gigantic dimen sions, and through its leaders, exer cise complete dominion, seems but the, logical result of the process note inau gatedn. Where, then, will be liber ty 1 TIhere is, however, amidst the doaz zlding and lurid blaze of a career of shameful glory, upon which we are entering, one solitary ray of hope it is the resurrection and reassertion of a doctrine now despised and spit upon--the doctrine of thme reserved ights of the States. Grant's Perfidious Meanness. Grant's condaot in the matter of exchanging prisoners ; towards the iJews; towards President Johnson, in tho Stanton Iambroglio and the climax of his perfidy in revoking l'rectidenft 'Johnson's pardon of' two citizens of the United States, clearly indicate and indelibly stamp PEniFIDI 0158 ME~ANNEss 'as the leading trait of his personal characer.

This ass in a lion's kin, so long as he held his pence, may ave been entitled to some courtesy, a view of the high dignity to which 1s follow-citizens, dazzled by the litter of his victorious sword, though toeped in the blood of Southern he ocs, had thought fit to lervato him. 3ut he has opened his mouth, and hose tones are unmistakeable. lie as, like Dogborry, issued his own entonce, and it is-"Write me down N ASS." He' has, moreover, given two exam. los of his Executive capacity. With !indictivo feeling against the retiring President, he has revoked lis pardon if two fellow-citizens. Was this any mart-of the bargain with the bloatod >ondholders, who gave him his house md lately, sixty five thousand dol ara? Or is it simply to cast an in iendo upon a man, in personal char moter, by far his superior ? 2. He has slavishly adopted every measure of the present tyrannical fac tion, while ostentatiously parading his intention to be independent, and with pretentious imbecility,1l:e has dared, in the matter of Stewart's appoint. ment, to cross swords with Congress, and like a loud-mouthed craven, as he has proved himself to be, has been sternly resisted, completely foiled, ignominiously subjugated, and dragg ed, at Bontwell's coat tail, the verlesi tool of a triunphant faction. President Johnson's F.irowoll Reception The farewell reception of Presideni Johnson at the White House, on Tues. day evening, is said to have been one of the most brilliant affairs of th< kind soen in Washington for severa years past. The National Intcllien car says The President occupied his usua position near the entrance of the blut parlor, the visitors being presented by Marshal Gooding. From 8 until af. ter I1 o'clook the crowd poured through the apartments, and to each person, however huinble his or her station, President Johnson extended a ploasant and cordial greeting. Mrs. Patterson, who stood at the right of the President, a few steps farther back in the room, was attired with cnstomary taste and elegance. The ceremony of introduction was gra. ciously performed by General lich ler. In the vast concourse assembled to pay their respects to the retiring chief Magistrate woreo ninny persons of distinction from abroad, as well as an unusual number of Washington cele from the Atlantic coast to the sea board on the Pacific, there was scarce ly a State or Territory that was not representod at the farewell reception of Andrew Johnson, whose kindly grasp and sincere smile called forth many a hearty wish for his future happinces and prosperity.

That he comoe into office untrammelled by party prejudices or commitments, he has already proved by his selection of the members of his Cabinet. lie has chosen no extreme partisans, and no men who are much more given to stump oratory and appeals to popular passion than he is himself.

Ramie-A now Fibro Plant, The Journal of Agriculture says the pamphlet on the use and merits of the Ramie, by Dr. Roezel, contains all the information nocesiary to those interested in this valuable discovery -and describes the plant, with all its advantages over cotton and as a sub. stituto for it. It is conceded as the result of investigations conducted by eminent French botanists, that this plant possesses the following advan tages (and machines are already pa tented for its preparation): 1. That the fibre of the ramie is stronger than that of the best Euro pea if Ihemp. 2 '('hat it is fifty per cent. rtronger anal better than the 1l3lgiun flixen or linen tne. 3. 'I'hat the rantin fibre may be spun as fine as that of flax, and will be doubly ats durublc. 4. TIhut the plant is a vigorous grower, and will produce far the greatest amount of textile fibre of any plant hitherto known. 5. That it will produce, within the belt in which it flourishes, from. three to five annual crops, each cqual to the best gathered from hemp. It requires less labor than cotton. is not destroyed by the a, terpiller, does not suffer from exces.ivo rains, and withstands the lonTest drought without injury ; can be taken from the field in the morning and a few hours after a nice fine fibre may be had by u"ing a cleaning machine patented by Ru(zel. The fibre of this plant is, when cleaned, without bleaching, purely white, fir finer than cotton or flax linen. The plant in a warm latitude is perennial, and the cr.ops from it are taken like those of cane, by cutting it at the ground ; from the ratoons a new growth springs up at one, giving from three to four and even five cut tings per annum in Louisiana, middle and lower Mississippi, Alabama, Tex as, Georgia, Florida and South Caro lina. Rich saudy ground suits best, but it is so vigorous that it does well anywhero, and the roots or pieces of roots and stallc, can be used to enrich the plantation. In a word, the cultivation of this plant will reconstruct the prosperity of the South, its market price being alieady quoted in the foreign prices ctrrent.

The Edgefieltd Advertiser has more advertising patronage from the city of August aj than all the newspapers of the State, that we get by way of ex. change, have together from the city of Charleston. Is it any wonder, under this state facts, that the merchants of Charleston have to complain of trade going around that city, and going through it ; in fact, going every where, but to it ? Or rather, is there any reasonablenesa in their con plaints ? Could they expect other wise I Is there not an old adage that those who expect the gods to help them, must first help themselves ? Just before starting the publication of the "Reporter," we we were in Char. leston, partly for the purpose of mak ing some business arrangements con notted witii our enterprise ; but in the main, on other business. We ap proached the head of a large mereaun Lile establishmeont, near tjhe Olharles ton Hotel, anid suggested to him the advantage of letting the people in the up-country know that lie haed survived the w.ar, anid had resumied hu,.iness. His reply was, "There was no use in advertising, that thme people knew where Charleston was, and if they didn't want to come there,iadvertising wouldn't bring them." This close d out our efforts to get~ advertising in Charleston. We do think though, in common justice, that the merehants and other business men of Charleston, ought to cease abusing Mr. Johnston and thme Charlotte and South Carolina Railroad, for diverting trade from that city, until they themselves put forth seine effort to draw it there. We heartily endorse the above arti.. ole from the Chester Reporter. Some weeks since, one of the proprietors of this paper visited the City of Charles ton for the purpose of obtaining adver tisements, but signally failed in get ting more than one, notwithstanding he called upon quite a large number of the merchant,'. Hie was informed that the Charleston mnerchants did their advertising principally by cireu lars, which every onie will admit is a more costly way of advertising than by giving their notices a place in the columns of some good newspaper. "Do hnto the up-country as you wouldi the up-country to do unto you." The Charleston merohants seem to think, that we up-countrymen know where Charleston is; we do, and we have not the slightest doubt in the world that our people will also know where Au gusta is, when the Columbia and Au gusta Railroad is completed, especial ly when they wish to replenish their stock of TJennessee corn and bacon.
