[Special Dispatch to the Now York Times.] Afinas’, Oct. 20,1865. The friends snd neighbors of Secretary Seward this afternoon availed themselves of tbffSpportu • nity which [bis tomporary presence at home af« forded them, and paid him a visit to congratu late him upon his osoape from assassination, to mew their expressions of friendship and ayrapa. thy, and to listen to whatever be might choose to iay iu referenoe to the present aspect of political affairs. The Plan nf Reconstruction. * * * We are continually hearing debates concerning the origin and authority of the plan of restoration.' New converts, North and South, call it the President’s plan. All apeak of it as if it were a new and recent devel opment. Ou the contrary, wc now see that it is not specially Andrew Johnson’s plan, nor even a new plan in any rejpoot. It is the plan which abruptly yet distinctly offered itself to the last Administration, at the moment I bavo before re called, when the work of restoration was to begin,- at the moment, when, although by the world un- perceived, it did begin, and it is the only plan which thus seasonably presented itself; and there fore is t e only possible plan which then or over afterward could be adopted. [Great applause.] This plan, although occasionally requiring varia tion of details, 1 "nevertheless admits of no sub stantial cbaDgo or modification. It oould neither he epla'ged or contracted. State conventions in loyal .States, however favorable, in disloyal States however hostile, could not lawfully or effectually disallow it; and even the people themselves, when amending the Constitution of the United States, are only giving to that plan its jnst and needful sovereign sanotion. In the meantime the execu tive and legislative authorities of Congress eau do no more than to discharge their proper func tions of protecting the recent y insurgent States from anarchy daring the intervening period while this plan is being carried into exeoutioD.— ■Applause] It is essential to this plan that the insurrec ionary States shall, by themselves and tor themselves, accept and adopt this plaD, and thereby submit themselves to and recognize the national authority. This is what I meant when I said to Mr. Adams, in a passage whioh you may possibly recall, that in the sense in which the word subjugation was then used by the ene mies of the Uni'ed States, at home and abroad, it was not the expectation or purpose of this Government that the Southern States should be subjugated; but that I thought that those States would be brought by the judioously mingled ex ercise of pressure and persuasion, to a condition in which they would voluntarily return to their alle giance. This was the explanation which Mr. Adams gave to Lord Palmerston, the Prime Min ister of England, when that great, and, as I trffst, not unfriendly statesman, said that he did not believe that the Federal Union oould be restored, because he knew that while any man Can lead a burse to the water, no man could make him drink. The plan, therefore, recognizes not the degtrDce (ion, nor even the subversion of States, but their activeetcistenoe; and it reasons from facts as they are, not from assumed or possible changes to be effected by continual war, muob leas does it rea- bod from mere chimeras. [Applause.] This ab solute existence of the States, which constitute the republic, is the most palpable of all the facts with whioh the American statesman has to deal. Ii many have stumbled over it into treason and ' rebellion, the fact, for all legitimate deductions snd purposes, nevertheless remains Nature oj the American Union. In a practical sense, at least, the‘States were before the American Union was. Even while they were colonies of the British crown, they still were embryo States—several, free, self-ex isting and indestructible. Our federal republic exists, and henceforth and forever must exist, through, not the creation but the combination "i these several, free, se)f-existing, stubborn States. These {States are not stakes driven into the ground by an imperial hand, nor are they posts hauled together, squared-and hewed, and bo erected loosely upon it; but they are living, growing, majestic trees, whose roots are widely spread and interlaced within the soil, and whose shade covers the earth. [Ap plause-] If at any time any of these trees shall he blown down or upturned by 'violence, it must be lifted up again in its proper plaice, and sustained by kindly hands until it has re newed its natural stability and erfectness. [Applause.] if at any time the American Lnion is fractured through a-lesion of one of >ta limbs, that limb must be restored to sonnd- ness before due constitutional health and vigor ran be brought back to the whole system. If une of these limbs offend, we have indeed the power—and I will not cavil about the right— to tut it off and «ast it away from ns ; hut when we should have done that, we wotild hate then done just what other nations ljess w,,e than ourselves have done, that have stb- »iited unnecessarily to. amputation, and given K P a material portion of their strength, to •are themselves from apprehended destrnc- tion. We know the inherent strength, vitality and vigor of the whole American people. We Either passionately torment any offending limb, nor consent to its being cut off, because ' v e know that all' oqf limbs are capable of tiemg restored, and Ail are necessary to ^prolongation 0 f our ,national Ijfe. [Ap- Is any other reconciliation, under' the circum stances, possible? Certainly you must accept this proposed reconciliation, or you must pur pose to delay and wait until you can procure a better one. Good surgery requires tbat.eren simple fractures, much more compound ones, shall be healed, if possible, at the first inten sion. Would not delay necessarily prolong anarchy ? Are you sure that you eau procure a better reconciliation after prolonged auareby, without employing force? Who will advo cate the employment of force merely to hinder and deiay, through prolonged anarchy, Re conciliation which is feasible and perfectly con sistent with the Constitution ? In what part of the Constitution is written the power to con tinue civil war against succumbing States for ultimate political trinmpb ? Wbat would this be but, in fact, to institute' a neit civil war, after one bad ended with the complete attain ment of the lawfnl objects for which it was waged. Congress and' the Administration have power to levy wars against foreign States for whatever cause they see fit. Congress and the President have a right to accept or even make war against any part of the people of the United States only under tkeir limited power to suppress sedition and insurrection, and for that purpose only. What then ? Must wqgive up the hope of further elevation of classes in the several States without any new guaranties for individual liberty and progress ? By no means. Marching in this path of pro gress and elevation of masses is what we have been doing always an the season of peace, and what wc have been doiDg still more effectually in the prosecution of the war. It is a nation al march as onward and irresistible as the late conflict between free and, slave labor‘was vig orous and irrepressible. [Enthusiastic ap plause.] The plan of .reconciliation we are pursuing has given us two great national ad vances in this progress of moral and political elevation, -which are now to be made fast and firmly fixed. First, it secures a voluntary abo lition of slavery by every State which has en gaged in insurrection ; and secondly, it must secure and does secure an effectual adoption by the late Slave States themselves of the amend ment of the Federal Constitution, which de clares that neither slavery nor involuntary ser vitude, except for crime, >.hall ever hereafter exist in any part of the United States. [Ap plause.] The people who have so steadily ad hered to the true path ot democratic progress and civilization through all the seductions of peace, and through sf many difficulties and at such fearful cost in war, will now have new in ducements and encouragements to persevere in that path until they shall have successfully re duced to a verity the sublime assertion, of the political equality of ali men, which the foun ders, in their immortal declaration, laid down .as the true basis of Americtm Union. [Pro longed applause.] It is certain that the plan Of reconciliation which I have thus largely explained, must and will be adopted. [Ap>- plause.] It may, however, be hindered or has tened. How can it be hindered ? You arq yourseives aware of the answer when you fas ten upon any violent, or faciious or seditious exhibition of passion or discontent in any of tlie lately rebellious States, and argue from it the failure of the plan. You argue justly.— Every turbulent aod factious person in the lately insurrectionary States is resisting, hin dering and delaying the work of restoration to the extent of bis ability. But the case is pre cisely the same with ourselves. -Manifesta tions of doubt, distrust, crimination, con tempt or defiance in the loyal States are equal ly injurious, and equally tend to delay the work of reconciliation. How, then, shall it be hastened ? I reply, virtually, in the lan guage of the President—in the spirit of the Constitution, and in harmony not only with our politics but with our religion:—“We must trust each other.” [Applause.] Can we not trust each other? Once we were friends.— We hare since been enemies. We are friends again. [Renewed applause.] But, whether in friendship or in enmity, in peace or in war, we are and can be nothing else to each other than brethren. [Loud applause.] The South and the English. A few evenings ago an hundred Southern men, who recently had been more or less in fluential and leading revolutionists, visited my house at Washington. They were frank, un reserved and earnest in their assurances of acquiescence and rOconciliation, as I also was in mine. Happily, a party of intelligent Englishmen were in my dwelling at the same time. I introduced the laje rebels to the repre sentatives of sympathizing England, and I said to the parties : “You. lately each of you thought that the Southern men preferred British rule to citizenship in the United States.” While the Englishmen individually disclaimed, both parlies promptly answered, as they now do, that that idea was not merely a delusion, but an absurd mistake. They how knew that even during the excitement of the war, the American citizen, whether North or South, really. Referred his own' country man of every section to any other people in the world. ~ v President Johnson. pisuse.] Prospects.of Permanent Reconciliation. \ ou wffi ask whether a reconciliation winch oliows so closely upon mili oe relied upon.

Will you yourselves now or ^er consent to it? You answer all these 1^““! “ tjwnagatiye, I* not reconcilia- Some of you fear that the President may be too lenient to those Southern leaders who plunged the country into the calamities of civil war. Except those of you who have been maimed or bereaved, has any of you suffered more of wrong, insult and insolence, at the hands of these leaders than he has ? Can we not folget where we can forgive ? Are you aware that his terms of amnesty to ^offenders are far more rigorous than those which were offered by Abraham Lincoln ? Hare.yon ever seen the majesty of law more firmly main tained than it has been by him i n the exercise of discriminating clemency ? [Applause.] Some of you. seem to have been slightly dis turbed by professions or demonstrations of favor toward the President, made by parties who hare heretofore opposed his administra tion, as well as the administration of bis pre decessor. [Laughter.] And you ask : May not the President yet prove unfaithful to us ? For myself, I laid aside partisanship, if I had any, in 1661, when the salvation of the coun try demanded that sacrifice. It is not therefore my purpose to descend to mere partisanship now. Andrew Johnson laid aside, l am sure, whatever of partisanship he had at 'tlie same time. [Applause.] That noble act' did not allow, but on the other hand, it forbade collu sion by the friends of the Union with op ponents of the policies of the war and of re conciliation which the GovemmentJias found it necossary to pursue. Duty requires absolute and uncompromising fidelity to the supporters of iliose policies, whosoever and of whatsoever party they may "be. [Applause.] Andrew Johnson has practiced that fidelity agaihst the Science qf enemies, tq the sacrifice of his fortune, (he hazard of hie liberty” and even the period of his life. [Enthusiastic cheer ing.] The same fidelity is still identified with the success of those poppies, aqd, qf course, is necessary to the achievement of their mag- idd applause ] Why should those policies, and desert tors, merely ‘ our efforts’ nificentends. he now abandon time-horn because prove _ i’atriotiam and royally equally, however, re quire that fidelity in this case shall be mutual. Be y» faithful, therefore, on your part, and al though the security I offer is unnecessary and superfluous, yet I toll guarantee fidelity on his part. [Renewed cheering.] Those who hitherto opposed the President, but now profess to sup port him, either are sincere or insincere. Time must prove which is the fact. If they are sin cere, who that has a loyal heart must not rejoice in- their late though not too long delayed con version? If they are insincere, are we either less sagacious, or have we less ability bow than heretofore to counteract treachery to the national cause? Perhaps you .fear the integrity of the man. I confess, with a lull sense of my account- ability, that among all the public men whom I have met or with whom 1 have been associated or concerned, in this or any other country, no one has seemed to me to be more wholly tree from personal caprice and selfish ambition tbao An drew Johnson; none to be more purely and exclu sively moved in public action by love of country aDd good will to mankind. Foreign Relations. * * * I dmit to speak of foreign na tions aod of the proceedings of the Govern ment in regard to them for two reasons; first, because the discussion of such questions is for a season necessarily conducted without im mediate publicity ; the other is a reason 1 need not assign. Nevertheless, I may say in general terms this: We have claims upon foreign nations for injuries to the United States and her citizens, and other nations have presented claims against this Govern ment for alleged injuries to them or their subjects. Although these claims are chiefly of a personal and pecuniary nature, yet the discus sion of them involves principlcses sential to the independence of States and harmony among the Nations. I believe that the President will conduct this part of oar affairs in such a man ner as to yield and recover indemnities justly due, without any compromise of the national dignity and honor. With whatever jealousy we may adhere to otfr inherited principle of avoiding entangling alliances with foreign nations, the United States must continue to exercise, as always before our civil war they did exercise, a just and beneficent influence in the international condnct of foreign States, par ticularly those which' are near to us ou this continent, and which are especially endeared to us by their adoption of republican institutions. [Applause.] That just influence of ours was impaired, as ought to hare been appwhended by the American people, when they fell into the distractions of civil war. With the return of peace, it is coming back to us again, in greater strength tlum ever. I am sure that this important interest has not been lost sight of by the President of the United States for a single moment, and I expect that wc shall see republican institutions, wherever they have been heretofore established throughout the American continent, speedily vindicated, re newed and reinvigorated. . [Applause. ] When I shall see this progress successfully trorked out on the American continent, I shall then look for the signs of its success ful working throughout the other continents. [Applause.] It is thus that I think the administration; of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson may be assumed as an epoch at which humanity will resume with new spirit and courage the career which, however slow, is nevertheless constantly directed toward the destruction of every form of human slavery, and the political equality of all men.

Astonishing Developments Crime. of A SUBTERRANEAN LAKE UNDER THE CITY, Ac., » Art., Ac., Nashville, Oot. 26. 4 A startling discovery has been made in this oity within the last few days. A large number of thieves have been depredating around the city for some time past. All efforts to catch them have been unavailing until lately. It has been ascertained that there are fivo different oaves under the city, which are occupied by thieves, burglars and counterfeiters. Toe MeNary [vault in the graveyard has been put under, guard, and men-set to work to effect an entrance into the cave. As fast as the earth is removed fresh earth is thrown np from the inside of the cave. This is the same cave that Murrill and his gang occupied whou engaged in running off negroes and horses. The qffair h s been kept secret, but leaked out in spite of the military. A year ago it was reported that the MeNary tomb was used as a place to store plunder, and it is commonly reported that a lake, eovering fire acres and very deep is direetly under the oily. One man swears to having thoroughly explored the entire cavern, from one end to the other. A guard has been stationed over the Ackten and Harden tombs. The look-* smith gives his opinion that the lock on the Me- Nary tomb has been used recently. The entrance to the cavern is to the foot of Sumner s reet— The military are determined to find out the outlet of tbe cave. The entrance looks like a fissure in the rook.

It will be seen that Spangler asserts his innocence and still denies aii participation in the assassination of our lamented President. It has been asserted that Spangler is a man of educa tion, and a letter written in vary flowety style and purporting to hare come from h-tn, is now going the rounds of tbe press.

A few days ago we referred briefly to the re opening of this institution upon the first Mon day in November next. We feel it, however, to Re a duty as well as pleasure, to allude to this valuable College again, to remind our readers of the fact, that for many . years it has occupied a prominent position among the scientific establishments of the South, ‘and that now, if ever, onr people should show a proper appreciation of its mer its. The members of the Faculty are all men of distinguished attainments.' It is only necessary to mention the names of Drs. Ford, Eve and Dugas to convince any one acquainted with the subject that a -Faculty thus supported must be among the ablest iit the country. It must not be lost sight of in this connec tion that the oity of Augusta is most conveni ently located as regards the various counties of the State, and that undoubtedly.it is one of the healthiest places in America. If e trust, that the young men of Georgia and tbe adjoining States, who design making medicine their profession, will duly consider the claims of this institution upon their pa tronage.—Augusta Constitutionalist.
