Tho New York Herald, under tho foregoing
leading, saya truly, that ‘Old Thad. Stevens’ is
ot as well pleased as he ought to be with the
itomises made to tho Southern people by Sena-
or Wilson in view of their bona fide fulfillment
1 the reconstruction laws of Congress, lu
letter to the newspapers, Mr. Stevens first quotes
a late speech of the Senator promising that
here would be no impediment to Southern, rep
utation in Congress if they elected Union
,and expressing the opinion that In recon
icting Virginia the results would be a Repub-
Governor, Legislature and two United States
Senators; and then the indignant radic&l leader
ot the Commons responds—that such promises
are calculated to doimlschlef; that they throw
obstacles In the way of future reconstruction I
' • I that much is to be done before any ot the rebel
States, or any Representative or Senator irom

{ j 10 know, too, who authorized any orator to soy
.JJ that there will be no confiscation, and “who is
: authorized to travel the country and pcddlo out
! i ’- i amneety.” And then Mr. Stevens, in his most
yi V ! amiable mood, observes: “I would say .to the
' ] . ’ most guilty expect punishment, and then qul-
11..! etude; but first a mild confiscation to pay those
fifed who have been robbed by disloyal men. These
i are my wishes, and mino only, perhaps;” but,
j 5 | we may add, perhaps not. Nevertheless, wc re
gard it as morally certain that each and every
one of the States concerned in faithfully meeting
these reconstruction laws of Congress will be
re-admitted into both houses regardless, as here-
tofore, of tho objections or opposition of Mr.
Stevens and his little faction of implacable radi-

Such are the views of the Herald in regard to
i the letter of “ Old Thad.” which is thus intro-
y duced to the notice of its readers by the Wash-

Black Star Cuakbir, I
Wamiikuton, April 27,1867. j
| lo the Editor of the Chronicle :
I find the following in the Chronicle of yestcr-
l day:
Fortress Monhoe, April 25.—Senator Wil
son arrived here in a special boat this morning.
Ho was received by General Burton in the fort,
and a salnte of eleven guns was fired.
He addressed a large audience of blacks and
whites in the Butlerschooi house, near Hampton
Roads. He urged upon tho colored people to
vote for that party founded on humanity and
equal rights to all. They were to assist the Re
publicans of the Nortli in modifying the State-
constitution, and securing the protection of their
rights. He impressed upon them the necessity
ol industry and education, and stated that with
them depended the success of the election and
convention of tho Republican party in Virginia.
He regarded Johnson as the sole cause of the
'insetlled condition of the country, and spoke
Jycibiy against his policy. lie miul there would
bo •*> impediment to Southern representative* in
Cony- esi if they elect Union men. lie closed ids
remark by asserting that lie would leave Vir
ginia Wi]i a f u n couviction that a Republican
Governor, Legislature, and two Senator* would
barm. They throw obstacles in tiie way~(Ji
future reconstruction, being quoted and relied
on os pledges by the Republican party. Hence
much trouble arose Irom certain loose and in
definite expressions contained in a bill which
was reported by the Reconstruction Committee
ol the Thirty-ninth Congress, though never pass
ed. It was inverted by faction and folly into
an argument against the whole party ami Con
gress. This generally arises from the careless
ness of the reporters; sometimes, doubtless,
from the inadvertence of the speaker.
No man should make promises lor the party.
By what authority does any one say that by tiie
election of loyal delegates they will be admitted ?
By what authority say that Virginia will elect
two loyal Senators, while in truth there is no
Virginia V Much is to be done by the people
and Congress betore any Representative or Sen
ator or State can lie recognized. Who author
ized any orator to suy there wonld bo no con
fiscation, as in another place? Those things
are too flippantly said; I think they had better
be gravely pondered.
Who is authorized to travel tiie country and
peddle out aniucaty ? I would say to the most
guilty, expect punishment and then quietude;
but first a mild confiscation, to pay those who
have been robbed by disloyal men. These are
my wishes, aud mine only, perhaps.
THADDKUS STEVENS.
Washington, April 27,1807.
Now we do not pretend to say which is right,
Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts, or tiie Penn
sylvania Commoner, Mr. Stevens, as to the im
portant matter of difforcuco between them. In
one respect wo recognize t|>e fore? pt the latter’s
assertion jn his letter that " no maii should make
promises for the party.” Our experience teaches
us that this is dangerous, and that they have
rarely been redeemed by any party. While in
the United States Senate, Sherman, Wilson, and
others, may well be termed leaders, still Sumner
may also be considered one around whom satel
lites revolve obedient to his behests, while in the
House “ Old Thad." has no peer as tiie party
leader, nor has lie, indeed, in either branch oi
Congress or before the masses of ids party
throughout the whole country. Notwithstand
ing we are told too by the Herald “ it is morally
certain that each and every one of the States
concerned in faithfully meeting these reconstruc
tion laws of Congress will bo re admitted into
both Houses regardless as heretofore of the ob
jections or opposition of Mr. Stevens and his
little faction of radicals," still we look with no
little apprehension to the future iu that respect
when we hear the significant proud* ot “Old
Thad.” at such an assumption. On the one
hand, the Southern people are assured that an
acceptance of the reconstruction acts of Con
gress and the election ot Union men to Congress,
w|U insure restoration ; on tho other, that it will
not—that more, much more must bo done by
that people “ before any Representative, or Sen
ator, or State, can be recognized;’’ that “the
most guilty" mast “expect punishment, ami
then quietude, but first a mild confiscation to
pay those who have been robbed by disloyal
men.” Here, indeed, the Southern people are
placed in a dilemma, from which we see no pos
sible chaucc of escape. They can only “ trust
to luck,” but luck bos so repeatedly gone against
them, that tho trusting to it again, while they
must do so, gives them but liltia consolation.
Verily do we live in strange times, no chart to
direct our course, no port of safety in sight!

Death at Charleston.—Tho Charleston pa
pers announce the death of Charles Kinloch,
Esq., one ot the oldest and most respected citi
zens of that city. He departed in tho eighty-
third year of his age, alter a life of great useful

It ia stated that Mr. _ Davis lias determined to

conditions of President Johnson's proclamation;
so say his friends here.
There is no doubt that Hie Judiciary Com
mittee have received notice to re-nssombic next
week, pursuant to adjournment, to continue tho
impeachment investigation. Tho scrgeaat-nt-
arms prepared several subpoeuas on the 89th
ultimo, lor witnesses, which will be served in
time for the meeting of tho committee. The
intention is to close tho investigation by the first
of Juno, and to report tho evidence, as directed
by tho Honso, at tho meeting in July. All tho
evidence which has been taken thus far is being
printed at tho government printing ofllcc, for the
use of tho committee aud for distribution when
the injunction of secrecy is removed.
Pauties deprecate a lavorablo decision in tho
applications lor injunction in the Georgia and
Mississippi cases, they believing it would throw
tho country into a state of annrcliy and confu
sion, dolor restoration of tho South for n long
period, and agitate the public mind. AU tho
work which is so happily progressing In the way
of reconstruction would be destroyed, and a fear
ful conflict between Congress and tiie executive
and judicial branches of tiio government would
commence. That would call Congress together
in July if nothing else would, am] the probability
is that the President would be Impeached aud
removed forthwith, and the Supreme Court re
organized at once. There is no doubt that Con
gross would assert its supremacy in the most de
cisive manner.
It is noticed that all the respcctablo papers of
New Orlcaus arc attacking the mode of registra
tion adopted by General Sheridan, aud there arc
other indications that that officer, iu Ills great
desire to play Radical partisan, will bring on
some difficulty between himself aud his supe
riore, which may result in his removal from com
rnand. Tho Radicals would delight in such au
event. It would furnish them with a fresh sup
ply of ammunition to keep lip their war upon
the President
Tiie people will see, iu the protest ot Thad.
Stevens, against tho declarations of Senator Wil
son, concerning reconstruction, a fair illustration
of tho truth of what the Democrats have always
told them, to-wit: That tiie Radicals desire no
restoration of the Union, aud will have none, if
they can avoid it; lor as between Stevens aud
Wilson it is not difficult to determine which oi
the two speaks by the book. The former is cm
phaticnlly tiie leader of ids.party, the latter only
a follower—ami a very insignificant one, at that.
The Question of War in Europe.—It
seems, after all, that M. Bismark cannot conlrol
affairs with a high hand outside of Germany
The Luxemburg question is to be settled peacea
bly by a Congress to meet in London next month
while, in the meantime, the Fortress of Luxemburg
is to be dismantled. In other words, Prussia
evacuates the Fortress even before the Congress
commences to deliberate, and as to the rest of
the country, it is hardly worfli while talking,
much less fighting about. Tiie fortress barred
the road from Paris to Berlin; that road is non-
open, and it strikes us Napoleon, at least, ought to
bo satisfied with the settlement ot this vexed
question.”

much beyond tiie amount required to give imoc

The Nroiio Preachers.—The Philadel
phia Press has a long uilielo on tiie importance
of using tiio negro preachers as Radical mis
sionarics, which commences as follows :
In weighing tho chances as to whether the
colored vote of tiio South will be solidly and
intelligently cast for tiie cause ol freedom
there is one important agency Hint has been
almost overlooked—the influence of tiio colored
preachers of tho South. Tiie negro is conlcss-
cdly a religions being. His religion at present
owing to centuries of oppression and darkness,
is little intellectual, hut powerfully emotional
and sensuous. It sweeps and surges through
his whole nature, and utterly controls it.
Expansive Ideas.—A New York journal,
noted for gas aud spread-eagleism, favors its
readers witli tiie following in reference to the
future of this country:

star of empire is with the Great Republic, and
that to all human appearance file clay is not far

Georgia.
The New York Journal of Commerce i9 urging
capitalists to turn their attention to the South ns
ottering a tempting field for safe and profilnblo
investment. It says of Georgia:
The opportunities for this arc abundant; and
if the investor seeks to speculate, there are sure
openings for increasing his capital two, five, ami
ten-folu. There is no point where this is more
manifest than in tiie neighborhood of Augtisln,
one of the most beautiful cities of the South.
Those splendid residences at the Sand Hills,
known to all travelers in old times as the nhodes
of health, wealth, and luxury, are in many in
stances offered for sale at prices fabulously low,
and plantations nenr that city are lo ho purchased
at rates which must be doubled within a year if
the crop he a good one. Who can doubt that
this portion of Georgia will rapidly develop
wealth? Georgia itself is one of the most re
markable Slates, in natural wealth, on tho earth’s
surface. Within its Itoundaries may lie grown
nearly every article ol food and luxury known to
tiie tropic ami temperate zones. Bananas and
oranges, tea aud coflee, cotton and corn, ai
melons, peaches, [totatoes. wlintcvor tiie United
States aud Cuba can produce, Georgia can also
produce within her limits. Her mineral treas
ures are also vast and varied; gold, and iron
aud others metals, abound in her mines. Slate

TUo New South Carolina.
Old man Forney’s Philadelphia Press is get
ting very sweet on South Carolina. Our frieuds
ot the Palmetto Territory ought to feel on

Tiie resolutions adopted at the late meeting of
the freedmen at Beaufort are specially significant,
on account of indications they give of the cliarac
ter of the new South Carolina the Republicans oi
that State nre endcuvoriug to construct. They
propose that its corner-stoue “ shall be freedom,
and not slavery;" and “ that of all tiie thirty-
seven States, which are now about to constitute
one solid phalanx in the Union, not one of them
shall have a constitution more republican iu form
or superior in any way to the one ” they are about
to make for tho “ ancient and venerable Com
monwealth of South Carolina.” Tlioy promise
to have Presidential electors chosen by the peo
ple instead of the Legislature,as heretofore; to
establishfrto schools; to reliove the poor and
destitute, and to uphold and defend “ the true
interests and honor of the whole country.” One
such new State would bo wortli a thousand ot
such nullification, secession, aristocratic, ieuthtl,
and treason-hatching Commonwealths ns tho old
South Carolina, which aimed constantly at tiie
debasement of the hulk ol her population, amt
nt the destruction of the Union.
Sound Advice.—A correspondent oi the
Memphis Avalanche, writing from New Orleans
furnishes the following:
I find that a large number of persons who con
tcmplatcd planting cotton have abandoned the
intention, and will plant corn instead. The wis
dom of the latter course must he evident to every
oiio who gives tho matter ordinary calculation.
I lie lowest figures at which cotton can he raised
tins year, allowing two-thirds of a hale to the
aere, will be twenty to twenty-five cents a pound.
Labor is more uncertain Mian it ever was hither
to. The cotton crop of India and Egypt will be
at least five million hales. Steam plows and all
manner of labor saving appliances arc bciim
used in those countries to supply tiie necessities
0 planters, and the result will he u large crop
01 cotton, which will lie sold profitably ul eight
certts, so we cannot compote with them. Eng
lish operators here have made these calculations
and will not advance on prospective crops here’
hence nmiiy planters have prudently arranged
to let cotton alone. He who raises provisions
that will free us from the domination of tiie
grain nroducors in the North, will prove himself
a good and wise man.

The New York Herald «nd the military
Commander*.
Tiio Herald alludes to General Sickles and the
flag business at Charleston as follows:
Gen. Sickles lias acted with a good deal of
judgment and wisdom in many respects, although
wpdo not altogether like ids meddling iu that
(lag business. It was rather too small an affair,
inasmuch as it was a mere matter of taste. Dif
ferent people like different Hags in public pro
cessions ; some cficct red, some black, some blue,
some mottled and some striped. Taste in ban
ners and standards, like costumes, is ol the
medley order. For instance, the Moslems on
certain occasions carry a horse’s tail. Occasion
ally wc find a pair ol unmentioimbies preferred.
A woman’s rights procession might most appro
priately adopt a pcttticoat for tlieir device on t heir
standard. Gesslcr, the tyrant of Switzerland,
insisted upon tiie people bowing down Jo hjs
cap. It is always better to have these tilings to
shape themselves.
The Herald of tiie same date makes a sensible
suggestion to General Schofield, commanding Hie
Department of Virginia:
General Schofield, commanding Virginia, lias
got into collision with tiie Richmond press. If
lie would leave the press to correct the press, lie
would save himself a vast deal of trouble. It is
too paltry a business for a distinguished General
to try to conduct any paper. Tiie more violent
a journal is, tiie more certain and speedy the re
action. During the war, Hie Richmond papera
were full of tho grossest abuse of Abraham Lin
coln, “the Yankees,” and so forth. When wegot
a hatch of them, wc always published tiie moot
violent of their articles; and had a good laugh at
them for the next two days We took their at
tacks in tiie best of humor. Tliorefore we advise
our military cldeltains in the South—Generals
Sickles; Schofield, I’ope, and the rest—not to
meddle witli the press.
The Position and its Rksi-onsihilities.—
The New Orleans Picnytfne, in reference to our
position and responsibilities, says:
“We owe it not only to ourselves, but to the
conservative interests beyond these States, which are
8eekiny to lift up again the standards of constitu
tional liberty ns they were understood in Hie
olden time, to strain eveiy nerve in order to de
feat the plan of fixing a Radical despotism on
tiie whole country by manufacturing tiie South
ern Stales intp radical boroughs. The aid it is
in our power to give is to register every vote
which the military will permit to he received,
and when election day arrives sec that they arc
ail cast for national candidates; and, in the inte
rim, lose no opportunity to inako it understood
that the struggle in which we are permitted lo
take at least this part, is not for ourselves only,
or as an isolated section contending against a
nation in arms, as was the case during the late
terrible war; but lor ‘measures and policies’
and reconstructions, in which wc have the good
wishes of millions of our fellow-citizens who bear
the same aspirations and interests in every part of
the Union ”

Washington, May 3.—Mr. Walker addressed
Hie court for three hours in a masterly effort.
He said constitutional liberty aud self-govern
ment were on finnl trial, and about to be decided
tor posterity and before all tho world. Whether
written constitutions were parchment scrolls or
words written in sand, to be swept away by the
first angry surge of popular passion—whetlicr
they can lie evaded by technical issues or a plea
ot want of jurisdiction. A broader bill of at
tainder and pains and penalties B*d never been
passed, reducing ten millions of loyal and dis
loyal people to territorial bondage, and substitu
ting the gleaming sword and bristling bayonet
for constitutional guards and courts ol law.
Tiio case was continued till Mouday, when

groes in many instances had been cheated out
of their earnings, molested and badly treated in
some of tho districts they represent, but in some
places treated well. In many instances the dele
gates declared themselves radicals.
The preamble reads: Whereas, tiie right of
suffrage and equal rights have been bestowed on
our race, heretofore held in bondage, in order to
acquire political knowledge that will insure pro
tection in our newly acquired rights; and
whcrcos, it seems to bo the ‘ policy of our politi
cal oppressors to use tail and unfair means to
prevent organization and consolidation as part
of Hie Republican party in Alabama—
Resolved, That we proclaim ourselves part of
tiio Republican party of Hie United States and
ol Alabama—and this, with a view to harmony
and good understanding, and not to establish a
separate political party.
Tiie second resolution expresses confidence in

The following was then adopted: “Tis our
