As he professes to be a gentleman as well as soldier, we do not envy his feelings on visiting with fire and sword a community which has thus contributed to his happiness.

Washington, Nov. 22. --Col. Einstein yesterday took formal leave in this city of the officers of the regiment which he formally commanded, having been appointed Consul to Nuremburg. He will leave for Europe by the next steamer. Andrew Johnson in Kentucky. Louisville, Nov. 21. --Hon. Andrew Johnson arrived here this evening, destined for Eastern Kentucky, and Gen.
