French. — Since the arrival of Colonel French in the Atlantic States, says the Alta,it has often been stated that he was liableto arrest at any time on charge of forgery committed several years since. What these charges are, says the Baltimore American, is explained by the fact that on the 30th ofJanuary, 1855, Gen. Shields, from the Committee on Military Affairs, reported to the Senate a bill for the relief of Lieut. Benton, and Majors Babbitt and Longstreet. The officers were stationed at San Antonio, Texas, in 1850, and to them Parker H. French, then chief of an emigrant party, presented a letter of credit from Howland Aspinwall, of New* York. In accordance with regulations of the War Department permitting supplies to be sold to emigrants, the officers furnished French with stores of different kinds, amounting to nearly $2,000, receiving in pay several drafts on Howland Aspinwall. These drafts, on presentation, were protested, and it was then found that the letter of credit above mentioned was a forgery. Several merchants in San Antonio (says General Shields,) were at the time imposed upon by the same Mr. French.Sonora Democrat.* “An Hour a Day.—Andrew Johnson, the prese.it re-elected Governor of Tennessee, at the age of thirty was a journepman tailor, “and could neither read or write.” Sensible of his ignorance, he had his wife readmortgages something The appraiprobate hosiderably 1 and I do ncsell for as r some $400 In the mtations mat the cashier writing, I v and accept little overtinued to until I four that my n amount, as as most of I do not kiiledge thatagainst meDecember cash by meing to pay pay all the should be c With this for them i)States, tov ing a busii fairs, he fo me that I then in de tors $1Q0,' from all liaf a KSm urIt A ? oca ntato f*my eounse legally bouf jund imor
