Luto Foreign Now*. The Removal of Sheridan. We give the correspondence between Gen. Grant and the President, relative to tho romoval of Sheridan from New Orleans. The President had tho un- doubted right to direct the change to bo made, and ho gives reasons which must be deemed satisfactory to all re- fledting minds. It will bo observed that tho Presi- dent in his letter makes no unpleasant allusion to General Sheridan, but, on tho Other hand, pays him a high com- plimcnt. This dignified forbearance may be considered remarkable in view of General Sheridan's telegram of June 23d, which alluded so offensively to President Johnson, and which was given to the press by Sheridan himself. Nor- is there tho slightest referenco made by the President in his letter to the decidedly partisan character of Gen. Sheridan's administration of affairs in the 5th Military District. The Presi- dent pays a just and merited tribute to the distinguished ability and gallantry of Generals Thomas, Sheridan and Hancock. The order for General Sheridan's re- moval has been temporarily suspended on account of tho illness ot Gen. Thom- as. Later dispatches state that the President has determined to send Gen. Hancock to New Orleans. I Plain Talk to Farmers. The II01T. James W. Wall, of New ,-feisey, has written an interesting article, headed as above, to iho Farm and Fire side, from which we extract as follows; \ The legislation of the past has done comparatively very little tor the agri- cultural interests of the States. This omission has mainly grown out of the neglect and indifference of the classes most injured liy it. Tlio past you can- not lSetieoiw;- but the future is with you, tho men of the plow, the men of toil] the cultivators of the soil you own'; yon can with the awakened power which Las. so: long slumbered within you, mould and shape, and direct the future legislation of our States as vou choose. The hammer of Odin is in your hands, and as the stroke of thatoftheTeutonio mythology is said to have produced convulsions 011 the earth's surface, so political power in,your grasp, if wield- ed in A t high and holy purpose, will shaice^ terribly the inert, useless legisla- tion which has so long cursed our Spates. Wlieh I.think.of.your numbers in the land,-, your immense power in every township and district, I honestly be- lieve th'at by a perfect concentration of action, your strength would' bo greater' than all the industrial pursuits combined, but now your power seems to be like the elephant in tho menagerie. The pol- iticians use and abuse you—they pierce you with sharp goads, and ride upon your trunk with impunity. Whereas, if you were now only once fully alive to the fact of your real power, how you wourd crush them at a single blow, or tramp them as dust beneath your feet! * * * Now, upon you, the farm- ers of the country, depends a correction of the evils-that have thus grown up in the legislative history of the country.

Very few shops, not more thnn ten in a hundred, are open. All who had tlio means of escaping have already abandoned the city ; prowling dogs and sickly mendicants have the place almost entirely to themselves. Even the upper classes are not entirely free from the common terror and delu- sion. The condition of the city is so sad that tho whole active work of lite is performed by the soldiers. They nurse the sick and bury the dead, and in return for their services are frequent- ly repulsed by the suspicious inhabit- ants, who often refuse food and medi- cino from their hands, revile them with their dying breath, and perish, fully believing they havo been poisoned..

To His Exoellenoy, Andrew Johnson, President ofthe United Suites ! Sir: I am in rooeipt of your order of this date, directing tho assignment of General G. H. Thomas to the command of tho 5th Military District. General Sheridan to the department of tho Mis- souri, nnd Gen. Hancock to the Depart- ment of the Cumberland. Also, your note of this date, enclosing these In- structions, snying : \ Before you issue instructions to carry into eft'uol 'i* en- closed order, I would be pleased to hear nny suggestions you may deem necessary respecting the assignments to which tho order refers.\ I am pleased to avail myself of the invitation to urge, —•earnestly urge,—urge in the name of a patriotic people who have snerificod hundreds of thousands of loyal lives and thousands of millions of treasure to preservo the integrity nnd union of this country—thrtt this order be not insisted oVi, I t is unmistakably the expressed wish of the country that Gen. Sheridan should not bo removed from his present command. This is a republic whore the will of the people is the law of the land. I beg that their voico may be heard. Gen, Sheridan has performed his civil duties faithfully ami intelligent- ly. His removal will only be regarded as an effort to defeat, the laws of Con ijri'ss. It will be interpreted by the unreconstructed element in the Sonih — those who did all they could to break up this Government, and now wi.-h t o be the only element consulted as to the method of restoring order—as a tri- tiiii.pl ). It will embolden them to re- newed opposition to the will of the loy- al masses, believing that they have the Executive with them. Tho services of Gen. Thomas, in battling for the Union entitles him t o consideration. lie has repeatedly cuteied his protest against being n.ssiiriu'<| to either of llie five Military Districts and ospecally to be- ing assigned lo relieve Gen. Sheridan. Gen. Hancock ought not t o he removed from where he is. His department is a complicated one which will take a new commander some time to become ac- quainted with. Thi'ie arc militaiy rea- sons, pecuniary reasons, and above all patriotic reasons why this ordershould not bu insisted on. I beg to refer to a letter marked priwitc which I wrote lo the President when first consulted on the subject of the change in the War Department. It bears upon the subject of this removal and I had hoped would have prevented it. 1 have the honor to be, with great respect, your obedient, servant, V. S.'OIUNT, Con. I'. S. A., and Seo'w of War a<i interim, THE I'KESIOKST TO cili.V. (5HANT. Executive Mansion, > Washington, I). 0., Aug. 19, 18(37. )\ GENERAL : I have received your com- munication ofthe 1/th inst., and thank you for the promptness with which you have submitted your views respecting tho assignments directed in mv order of that date. When I stated in my unof- ficial note of |be 17th, that I would be pleased to hear any suggestions you might deem necessary upon the subject, it was not my intention to ask from you a formal report, but rather to invite a verbal statement of any reasons affect- ing the public interests, which in your opinion, would render the order inexpe- dient. Inasmuch, however, as you have embodied your suggestions in a written communication, it is proper that I should make some reply. You •earnestly urge that the order lie not in- sisted on, remarking that it is unmis- takably the exptessed wish of tho coun- try that. Gen. Sheridan should not be removed from his present command. Whilo I am cognizant of the efforts that have been made to retain General Sheridan in command of the Fifth Mil- itary District, I am not aware that the question has ever been submitted to tho people for determination. It certainly would be unjust to the army to assume that in the opinion of the nation, he alone is capable of commanding the States of Louisiana and Texas, and were he for any cause removed no other General in the military services of the United States would be competent to fill his place. Gen. Thomas, whom I- have designated as his successor, is well known to the anny, having won high and honorable distinction in the field, and- he has since, iu the execution of the responsible duties of a Department Commander, exhibited great ability, sound discretion and sterling patriot ism. He has not failed, 'under the most trying circumstances, to enforce tho laws, to preservo peace and order, to encourage the restoration of civil au- thority, and t o promote as far as possi- ble, a spirit of reconciliation. His ad- ministration ofthe Department of the Cumberland will certainly compare most, favorably with that of General Sheridan in the Fifth Military District. There affairs appear to be in a disturbed con- dition,, and a bitter spirit ot antagonism seems to-have resulted from Gen. Sher- idan's management. He has rendered himself exceedingly obnoxious by. the manner in Which he has- exercised even the powers conferred by Congress, and still more so by a resort to authority not granted by law .ior necessary'to its faithful and efficient, execution. His rule basin fact been one ot absolute ty- rany, without reference to ifa'<e>principles' of our Government or ihetinnitre of our free institutions. The tstfite of affairs which'has resulted from the course helms pursued has seriously interfered with a harmonious, satisfactory and speedy ex- ecution of tho acts of Congress, nnd is alone sufficient to justify a change. His removal, t horerbre, cannot be re- garded as an effort to defeat, the laws ot Congress, for tho object is to facili- tate their execution through an officer who hnnmever failed to obey the stat- utes of the land and t o exact within his jurisdiction a like obedience from oth- ers. I t cannot bo interpreted by tho unreconstructed element in trie South —those who did all they could to break up this Government.by arms and now wish to be the only element consulted as to the method of restoring oi'der*-as a triumph, for, ns intelligent men, they mu»t know that the mere change of military commanders cannot alter the law, and that General Thomas will be ns much bound by its requirements as Genernl Sheridan. It cannot embolden them to renewed opposition to the will of the loyal IIMHKCS, believing that they have the executive with thoin.for they nro perfectly familiar with the nntece- dents of the President, and know that he.has not obstructed the faithful exe- cution of any not of Congress. No one, ns you are aware, ha,s n higher appreci- ation than myself of the services of General Thomas, nnd no one would he less inclined to assign him t o a com- ninnd not entirely to his wishes. Know- ing him ns I do, I cannot think that he will hositnte for a moment to obey nny order having in view n complete nnd speedy restoration ofthe Union, in the preservation of which ho has rendered such important nnd valunble sorvices. Gun. Hnnoock, known to tho whole oountry ns a gallant, able and patriotic soldier, will, i have no doubt, sustain bis high reputation in any position to which ho may be assigned. If, as you observe, the department which ho will have is a onninjiciued one, I feel confi- dent that under the guidance nnd in. struction of Gen»Sliermnn, Gen.'Sheri dan will soon become familiar with its necessities nnd will avail himself of tho opportunity afforded by the Indbin troubles for the display of tho energy, enterprise nnd daring, which save him so oneviablo a reputation during our recent civil struggle. In assuming that it is the expressed wish ofthe people that Genera! Sheridan should not, be re- moved from his present eoinmand, you remark that this is a Republic where the will of the people is the law of the land, and you bc-u that their voice may be heard. This is indeed a Republic, based, however, upon a written Const!- 1 t in ion. That Constitution is the coin billed and expressed will ot the people, nnd their voice is law when reflected in. the manner which that instrument pre- scribes. Whilo one ot >ts provisions makes the President Commander-in- Chief ofthe Army and Navy, another requires that, he shall take care; that the laws be faithfully executed. Believing that a change in the command of the Fifth Military District is absolutely necessary for a faithful execution ofthe laws, I have issued the order which is the subject ot this correspondence, and in thus exercising a power that inheres > in tlie executive, under the Constitu- tion, as coinni'inrhir in chief of the mil I itniy and navnl forces, I am discharging j a duty required of nits by the will of the nation as formally declared in the supreme law of t lie land. By his oath, the Executive is solemnly bound to the best of his ability to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, and al- though iu times ol great excitement, it may he lost to public view, it is his duly without regard to the consequen- ces to himself lo hold sacred and to en force any and all of its provisions. Any other course would lead to the. destruction of tho Kepublic, for the Constitution, when once abolished, there ' would be no Congress for the exercise of: legislative powers, no Executive to see 1 that, the laws are faithfully executed,! no Judiciary lo afford to the citizens protection for life, limb \and property.' Fsurpation would inevitably follow,and j a despotism be fixed upon the people in violation ot their combined anil ex- pressed will. In conclusion, I fail to j perceive any military, pecuniary or pa- triotic reasons why this order should not be carried into effect. Yon will remember that in the first instance, I did not, not considor Gen. Sheridan the most suitable officer for the command of the Fifth Military district. Time has strengthened my convictions upon this point, and has led me to the conclusion that patriotic coin-idcrntinns demand that h e should be superseded by an officer who, while he will faith- fully cxecuto the law, will, at tho same time, give more general satisfaction to the whole people, white and black, North and South. I am, General, very respectfully j'ours, JINKBRTT JOHNSON. (Jen, U. S. Grant, Secretary of War, ail interim. A Man Shoots His Mother by- Mistake. A most deplorable accident resulting in the death of a venerable lady, oc- curred at Mobile on the night of the 15th. The family of a prominent citi- zen, residing on St. Louis street, and now absent on a visit toPensacola, had, one or two days before, been disturbed by an attempt at burglary. The only son present on the premises was, at tlio tjme, sick in bed, and had taken some opium to lull his pains. That night, ifter midnight, the mother ofthe fami- ly awoke, and supposing there was some one trying to force an entrance into her room, she slipped off\ her bed anil entered the adjoining; room, where her son. still under the effect of a sopo- rific potion, was uneasily resting. To rvoid alarming him, the tender mother gently shook him by I he arm, when, horrible to relate, the unfortunate son, aroused from his heavy slumber, and beforo having recovered from its effect, supposing that some robber had enter-, ed hi.s room and,-fetching out a pistol from under his pillow, twice pulled the fatal trigger and sent a build through tho throat of*his beloved mother, who, in the agonies of her death, faithful to her maternal instincts, exclaimed,— '•Son! son! you clidn'.tiinean it. God bless you!\ Awakening to the terri ble realitv, the unfortunate man rushed onl to seizo in his arms his dying moib er,. and the whole family having hasten ed to tho room, the saintly matron re peated her words ot forgiveness nnd soon expired in the midst of her lie loved family.

On Saturday the people at the latter place were out in force to prevent the destruction of the hotel and other property north of the river, and the bridge at that point. It must be a great, pleasure to the authors ot these fires, which occur nearly every year, to see their neighbors fighting day and night lo savo their property. People out West have a good way ot doctoring such maliciousness, which is said to be effectual. Give them a dose.
