The President of the United States paid visit
last week to Old Point in Virginia. He is literal
ly 1rorking President. This is the first respite
he has had from the Iabors Of his office since he
was inaugurated. The Union says:


"The close application of the President during
his whole life 10 the performance of all bis duties
whatever they may have been, is very remarkable.
II is said and we believe upon reliable authority,
that when at college he never failed to attend
sinole recitation or TO perform any other duty re-
oni1ed of him /; and that during his service a
member of the Legislature of Tennessee, and in the
Congress of the United States, during the long pc
riod of fourteen years. he never failed for single
day 10 be present. His name, we are informed, Is
TO be found recorded on the journals Of the House
Of Representatives upon every vote taken, import
ant or unimportant, for ten years, during which
time he held seat the floor; and that during
the four latter years OF his service, when he was
speaker he was present every day, presiding over
the House of Representatives.


sin appearance The President is not man OF
robust constitution and his good health and great
ability to endure confinement and intense labor are
to be attributed bis regular and temperate man
ner Of life and TO the fact that the Sabbath is with
him day of rest On that day his doors closed,
and he refuses to see company, however dIstIn-
onished NAV be the VisteT. He always attends
Church He has been often heard to remark, since
he haa been President that all the institutions Of
Providence were wise, but none Of them more so
Than the institution of Sabbath; and that, on
eyeIy Monday morning he entered upon the duties
of the week refreshed and inVigorated from the
rest of the preceding day. o..


"Well may the country say OF him, SO lar as
unremItting itenon TO his public duties is concern
ed, well done thou good and faithful servant
