Gen. Logan and the President.

A Washington correspondent gives the following incident which happened in that city recently:

A little incident related of General Logan and the President will well illustrate the passionate determination of the latter. When Logan was here last he called at the White House and obtained a private interview with Mr. Johnson. It was a couple of days before he spoke in denunciation of the Presidential course. The Illinois soldier expostulated with the Tennessee executive as to the policy of the latter, assuring him of his mistake, and declaring the people generally opposed to his policy. This the President doubted. "General Logan, with friendly but emphatic language, assured him that the West was determined that the South should not come back except on their terms. The West would not submit to less."

"By God was Mr. Johnson's insolent reply, will make them. They shall submit."

"Mr. President, they won't do it," said General Logan, "not even if in resisting the attempt they have to hang you and Jeff. Davis on the same tree."

Of course, the interview was abruptly terminated. Andrew Johnson continues his attempt at the consummation of "my policy," and John A. Logan is at work on the prairies rousing the people with that sense of danger which the accidental President has contrived to arouse in the breast of every earnest man with whom he has come in contact.
