A delegation from Montana Terri? tory waited upop., and made an ad? dress to, the Presi3ent on Wednesday morning, and received a reply in the following langnage, .which has the ring of the true metal. Mr. Johnson has evidently made np his mind to adhere to his position that the South is in the Union. He said: GENTLEMEN : Tt is no ordinary plea? sure for me to meet you hera on this occasion, and to hear the sentiments you have announced. To receive so large and respectable a body of in? telligent gentlemen from that remoto region of the country is highly grati? fying to me. In response, sir, (ad? dressing Mr. Pinney,)to the eloquent manner in which you have expressed the sentiments and feelings of those whom you represent on that occasion, I might content myself with simply returning my thanks for your kind expressions; but you have made some allusions, - to which, under the cir? cumstances that surround us, I can? not be indifferent. You have- alluded to the great principles of our Go? vernment having been enunciated by me in a paper sent but a short time sin^o to the Congress of the United States. The declaration by nie of these principles was not the result of impulse. If was the result of a tho? rough and calm consideration of those great_ truths which He at tho foundation ?f all free Governments. Those who understand those truths and have hud thom down as their guide cannot fail to understand the doctrines enunciated in that message. It is not necessary to inquire whether they emanated from this man or that J?K?SfsTcrtni ~?Hr<v. Irinciples, no matter [point they look at Vemselvcs ' in volun t a ?rceptibly it may bo, (doming together in all 3S that may take place in lem; while those who dis ft Who repudiate them, and nought, will be found Und traveling in a di? rection. For this reason bo many now coining to |[thjmt any previous concert fiaent, but imperceptibly, hey agree on these great [, gentlemen, there is no ojie 1 mistake the groat cardinal hs that arc laid down hi that They comprehend and em? ilie principles upon which this Jament rests, and upon which, successful, it must be adminis I care not by what name tho Administering the Government be denominated -thc Union Prty, the Republican party, the De? mocratic p^l'ty, thc American party, or what not-no party can administer the Government successfully unless it is administered upon the great principle'' laid down, in tliat paper. VQU would meet with about thc same success in attempting to carry on the Government upon any other princi? ples than those which are found in the Constitution, as yon would if you should tako hold of a piece of ma? chinery that had been constructed and trained to run harmoniously in on? direction, and attempt, by re? verse action, to run it in tho opposite direction. I say, again, that no ono can mis? take tho doctrines of that message. It is very easy for peinons to mis? represent it, and to make assertions that this, that or the other has* taken place, or will take place ; hut I think I may be permitted to say to yent on this I occasion that, taking all my antece? dents, going back to my advent in public life, and continuing down to the present time, tho great cardinal principles set forth in that paper have boon my constant and unwavering guido. After having gone so far, it is too late for mc to turn and take a different direction. They will bo my guide from this time onward, and those who.uuderstand them may know where T shall always bc found when principle is involved. Here let nie say to you, in order to disabuse tho public mind as far as it is possible for an individual to do so, that my public career is well nigh done. Tho sand of my political glass has well nigh run out. If I were disposed to refer to my? self, I might traee my career back to the log cabin ; then an alderman and a mayor in a village; then through both branches of the State legisla? ture; then for ten consecutive years in the National House of Representa? tives; then through the Gubernatorial Chair to tho Senate of the United States; then Provisional Governor, with a slight participation in military affairs; then Vice-President, and now in thc position I occupy before voil. And now, in this position, if I can be instrumental in restoring the Go? vernment of the United States; in restoring to their true position in the Union those States whose relations to tho National Government have, for a time, been interrupted by ono of thc most gigantic rebellions that ever occurred in tho world, so that we can proclaim once more that we arc a united people, I shaW feel that tho measure of my ambition has been filled, and filled to oversowing. And at that point, if there be am' who are envious or jealous of my honor and position, I shall be prepared to make them as polite a bow as I know how, and thank them to take thc place I have occupied, for my mission will have been fulfilled. Iir saying this, in performance of my duty and in re? sponse to thc encouragement you have given nie, I feel that I am in a condition not to be arrogant; not to feel imperious or supcreillious. I feel that I can afford to do right, and so feeling, God being willing, I in? tend to do right; ami as far as in mo lies, I intend to administer this Go? vernment upon tho principles that lie at tho foundation of it. I can inform all aspirants who arc trying to form their combinations foi the future, who want to make one or? ganization for one purpose and an? other, that they arc not in my way. I am not a candidate for any position, and hence, I repeat, I can afford to do right; and, being in that condition, I will do right. I make this announce? ment for the purpose of letting al] know that my work is to restore thc Government, not to make combina? tions with reference to any future can? didacy for thc Presidency of thc United Sbxtes. I have r 'ached thc topmost round my race is run, so fm* as that is con cerned. My object is to perform im duty, and that"]' w?l-?12deavor to do. Let us, then, all join in "this ?'real work of restoration; and while wc are. restoring and repairing the bven?dov^fh?it have been made, let n.? unite in the work of making new States, and populating them with ? people who aro worthy of thc Go vernment which protects them. Anr let those new State Governments b( founded on principles in harmony with thc general machinery devisee by our fathers. So far as regard.' any aid or assistance that can Ix given hore in the progress and in +h< consummation of this great work o building up new States, as well as 01 tho restoration of ?ll the forme: States, you will find nie a willing an< a cordial helper. -.-?ti - THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU \>ILU. despatch to tho New York Herald says: The rumor is obtaining very exten sive credit in Washington thatshoul the Freedmen's Bureau bill pass th House, as it already h^s the Senate so that it.s restrictions and provision will apply equally to the borde States, the President will issue a pr< elamation restoring thc writ of h<ti>< < corpus therein. Such an order woul make the objectionable features < thc. bill inoperative in those State He probably behoves that tho Stat authorities should not bc loft to tl i operation of the hill without givin them the above moans of protectic and redress.

Jan 27 Imo* Valuable and Extensive Water Power in the City of Columbia for Sale. Ordered by Ute Legislature of South Caro? lina. THE undersigned Commissioners, ap? pointed by the General Assembly of South Carolina, at its late session, will' receive bids for the valuable W ATER POWER known as the COLUMBIA CANAL, until thc lirst day of April next. Tho Canal is eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four yards long, and thc average fall for thc first three milos is fourteen feet, commencing at ten feet at Upper street, in Columbia, and attaining nineteen feet one inch at Bridge street; tho remaining two miles, from Bridge street to its mouth, commences at nineteen feet ten inches, and attains a fall of twenty-live feet. Fine building sites exist between tho canal and river, giving complete protection to build? ings and machinery from freshets. Tho State, through the undersigned, will con? vey the canal and all its appurtenances, I together with the right of way for sixty feet on each side o? the centre o? the canal to thc purchaser. Compensation to the adjacent land owners for the right, of way, to bc made by tho purchaser, on the sanio just and equitable terms that the right of way was conveyed to tho Greenville and Columbia Railroad Company, hy Act of 15th December, 1845. This power has been accurately surveyed hy Prof. John LeConte, of tho South Caro? lina University: bis report, together with thc Act of tho General Assembly and this advertisement, has been printed, and maj" ho obtained by addressing Jas. G. Gibbes, Esq., Mayor of Columbia. Prof. LeConte estimates that by doubling the original capacity of the canal, as re? quired by the Act, that the power secured to Bridge street will bo 355 horse-power, thc average head being fourteen feet; und from Bridge street to its mouth 532 horse? power, with an average head of twenty-one toct, and a current of one foot per second. With a current of two feet per second, thc powers would be 710 and 1,004 horse-power; and if the machinery is not run at night, thc power may be doubled by accumulat? ing water in reservoirs. "As tho supply of water," says Prof. LeConte, "which may bo turned from tho river into the canal at its head, is almost unlimited, tho canal ?an be enlarged to an extent commensurate with the demand for water power. If desired, it may ho made to supply water to tho extent of 5,000horsc power or more. In fact, by very simplo arrangements, one-third or one-half, or even moro, of the whole water in Broad River, might be turned into such an en? larged canal." . Thk wa" er power is literally within thc city of Columbia. Tho?city is now supplied by railroads penetrating nearly every Dis? trict in thc State, furnishing tho produc? tions of cotton, rice, wheat, beef and pro? visions, with little expense at this important point. The city of Columbia is supplied with gas and good water, the climate is salubrious and healthy, being above the miasmatic region, and invites, for pleasant settlement and society, merchants, artisans, mecha? nics, manufacturers and persons x>f for? tune and leisure. The property will bc sold on the following conditions, to wit: 1st. Thc purchaser shall, within two years from the date of conveyance, complete the widening and deepening of said canal to at least twice its origininal capacity. (Its original capacity was fifteen feet wide at top, eight feet at bottom and four feet in depth; to double it according to Prof. LeConte's report, it will require tho removal of 30,107 cubic yards of earth, and 3,200 cubic yards of stone to Bridge street, and from Bridge reot to its mouth 22,170 cubic yards of i:arth-ho stone to be removed.) That thc same shall always be kept open for boating purposes, free of charges, to where, it is now used. (This will not interfere at all with tho water power for driving machine? ry, as boats only descend as far as thc lirst lock, near Upper street.) That the water shall not become stag i??nT~-.and-trli:?t.it shall not housed forother I than hydraulic purposes. _I That one-third of tho sum hid shall he paid within thirty days after notice of ac? ceptance ol' bid; one-third at the expiration of six months therefrom, and thc remain? ing third at tho expiration of twelve months. Titles delivered on payment of lirst instalment, and that the title herein proposed to bo conveyed shall revort to the State, on default being made of any of the foregoing conditions, including payment of all the purchase money. This water power with its location, in thc judgment of tho Commissioners, is un? equaled by aiy in the State of South Caro? lina, and not surpassed by any in thc Southern country. Parties sending bids will please furnish thc Commissioner:- with references as to do ability promptly to make good the " All the communications maybe addressed to the undersigned at Columbia, S. C.
