The following letter is published in the London Star. it'.*was addressed by President Johnson to an American gentleman living in Bellin: EXECUTIVE OFFICE, , Washington, D. C., July 20. 1865. Mr. G.. F. Comfort, Mo. 2 Franio sislie sfrasse, Berl?n, Prussia. MY DEAR SIR: I thank you for ! your letter of the 30th of June. . I shall use my best endeavor^to | make my administration national/and . not partisan. Perverting power or influence to partisan ends is only less crimiuaL than attempting the nation's life. m Our nation has come out of its four 1 years' struggle for existence strength? ened and purifient, and with a capa? city for a growth in the future -unpa? ralleled in history. . I am pleased to hear from so intel Sgent an observer ns yourself that the fact that our Government is a govern? ment of the people-deriving all its power from the people-existing only for the people-is being appreciated in Europe. . I trust that our national success may prove the success of popular principles throughout the world. I am, sir, verv trulv vours. ANDR'EW JOHNSON, . President of the United States. KNOXVILLE.-The Chattanooga Ga? zette, of the 7th, says: "? gentleman from Knoxville yesterday reported everything quiet-stores all closed and only ten men dead." We are happy to ?be able to state that affairs appear to be improving at the home of Governor Brownlow. An officer who left that place,on Fri? day morning, informs us that the number killed the night before he left was only five-three white men and two colored. "All quiet along the Po? tomac."-Nashville Gazette. As a specimen of a speech which says nothing, the following, delivered by the King of Greece to the Cham? bers, in August last, may bo taken : " "GENTLEMEN: I have received with satisfaction the reply of the Chambers, und ?hank it.forthe assurance it gives me of its firm! intention to occupy itself seriously with the bills which ! will be Laid before it by my Govern? ment, bearing upon ?he gpreat inte? rests of our country, ^fay the satis? faction of these interests and the prosperity of Greece* be the sole ob? ject of all our efforts. " The litt st news from Europe '(says the Richmond* Times) fills us with apprehensions with reference to pur noble, impulsive and high-spirited Irish friends. There.are many indi? cations that they are on the eve of another badly matured, and, -we fear, rash t attempt to rid themselves of English domination. There seems to be imminent peril of a collision be? tween, the Fenians /and the Govern? ment. Bold demonstrations by the. former have been made in Tipperary, Limerick, Cork and Kerry, in which Counties there are said to be at least fifty.theusand Eenians, or sworn sol? diers of the "Irish Republic"-a re? public,, by the way, which the dilapi? dated Palmerston, and that diplomatic old fox, Lord John Russell, ?will be as slow to recognize as they were the Southern Confederacy. Although the most versatile of mo? der?, nations, yet no people upon the 4ve of an emeuele or revolution ever xhibit less, cleverness aiid caution in concealing their designs fiom their oppressors. The symptoms of "trou? bles in Ireland" have been the same in every unsuccessful "rebellion" since the days of Oliver Cromwell. The Irish are too frank, impetuous and impulsive to mature a fcticccssful revolution,, Concert of action has always been wanting, and the heavy, relentless hand of the Government ?as invariably crushed their cot?Spira cies before they were fairly hatched . In many parts of Ireland, the Fe? nians, are said to be collecting arms, drilling, and organizing large bodies of men, purchasing ammunition and holding secret meetings. Th*e shoot? ing of merciless landlords, excisemen, -policemen, sheriffs, and of other va? rieties pf legal vermin with which Ireland is overrun, has not yetbegun; but that laudable and most justifiable and rational sport will soon com? mence. Indeed, we doubt whethor the annual outbreak of popular wrath is near at hand yet, as our Hi? bernian friends have not commenced illuminating their proposed revolu? tion by a. general conflagration fof wheat-stacks and hay-ricks. . Spite of the declarations of the Pope that he woura, leave the cholera to Providence, every precaution has been taken in Rome; great cleanli? ness enforced, and a strict surveil? lance exercised over the sale of meat and Vegetables. The-Lago, or flood? ing of the Piazza Navona, has also been forbidden this year, lest the ex? halations might prove prejudicial to the public health, and isolated wards have been prepared in most of the great hospitals for the reception of any chance cases. The Washington correspondent of, the Baltimore Sun makes the fo?ow . ing singular announcement : "At the request of the freedmen bf the Dis I trict, Judge Day, a devotee to the African race, has' consented to ^ad j and explain the L.te speech of the j President to the Southern delegation. \ kA. large crowd of the inquiring race ' ^will be on nand." The New Orleans Delta learns that President Johnson has appointed J. Madison Wells, the Provisional Gq vernor of> Louisiana, and given him ; the same authority as is vested in ! Governor Sharkey. A British army officer, Captain W. : A. Baker, ^uinomices that the day of judgment will transpire September 20, 1878, at sunset. The saints are* to be translated January 2;?, 1875. Jeff.
