Mr Seward recently made a visit to his home in Auburn. N. \«, and w'as received most cordially t>v bis lriends and neighbors, who congratulated him upon his entire res toration to health. In reply to an address of welcome by the Rev. Doctor Hawley, Mr. S. Spoke freely and Colly of national affairs, aud especially of the policy oC reconstruction. He intio duced the-subject by saying, that the pluu of reconstruction which had been adopted by j the present Administration was not spec.ally I President Johnson's plan, nor even anew j plan in any respect; but was the one which presented itself to the last Administration at the moment when the work of restoration waa to begin, and it is the only plan, w hicb thus seasonably presented itself, that could then or ever after be adopted, and although occasionally requiring a variation of details, nevertheless admits of no substantial change or variation. He urges that it is essential to this plan that the seceding States shall, by themselves and for themselves, accept and adopt it, and thereby submit themselves to and recognize the national authority. He maintains, therefore, that President Johnson's plan, as It is popularly styled, recognizes not the destruction, nor even the subversion of States, but their active tzistmee. On this point he is clear and emphatic, and advanced in support of it States' Rights views which, emanating from him, struck us with surprise. For instance, speaking of the nature ot the American Umon, he says: In a practical sense, at least, the States were before tbe American Union was, liven while they were colonies of tho British crown, they still were embryo Stales—sev eral, free, self-existing aud indestructible.— Our federal republic exists, and henceforth and forever must exist, through, not the creation but the combination of these sever al,. free, self-existing, stubborn States.— These States are not stakes driven into the ground by an imperial baud, nor are they posts hauled together, squared aud hewed, and so erected loosely upon it; but they are living, growing, majestic trees, whose roots are widely spread am' aterliced within 'he soil, and whose shade covers the earth, ll at any time any of these trees shall be blown down or upturned byvioleuee.it must be lifted up again in its proper place; and sus tained by kindly hands until it has renewed its natural stability aud eiectness. His views with regard to a permanent re conciliation between tho seceding States and the North are both interesting aud signifi cant. Your will ask whether a reconcilliation which follows so closely upon military coer cion can be relied upon. Can it be sincere ? Can it.be permanent ? I answer, do yon ad mit separation to be in any case possible ? Does anybody now believe that it ever will hereafter become possible ? Will you your selves now or ever consent to it? You answer all these questions in the negative. Is not reconciliation, then, not ouly de sirable, but imperative ? Is any other re conciliation, under the circumstances, pos sible ? Certainly you must accept this pro posed reconciliation, or you must purpose to delay and wait until you can ptocure a better one. Good su r gery requires that even simple fractures, much more compound ones, shall be healed, U possible, at tbe first in tention. Would not delay necessarily pro long anarchy ? Are you sure that you can procure a better reconcilliation alter pro longed anarchy, without employing foice ? Who wilt advocate tho employment of force merely to hinder and delay, through pro longed anarchy, a reconciliation which is feasible aud perfectly consistent with the Constitution? Iu what part of the Constitution is written the power to continue civil war against succumbing states for ultimate poli tical triumph ? VYhat would this be but, in fact, to institute anew civil wur, after one had ended with the complete attainment of the lawful objects for which it was waged. Following this branch of his subject is an ingenious and critical analysis of the con stitutional powers of Congress and the Ad- ■miuistraliou to make war against any part of the people of the United States to sup press sedition and insurrection, which, al - though strongly tinctured with federal doctrines in positive conflict with his state rights utterances, are not permitted to in fluence unfavorably his action with refer ence to the great question of reconstruction. For he says: It is certain that the plan of reconciliation which I have thus largely explained, must and will be adopted. (Applause ) It may, however, be hindered or hastened.— How can it be hindered ;' You are your selves aware of the answer when you lasieu upou any violent factious or seditions ex hibition of passion or discontent in any of the lately rebellious States, and argue trom H the failure of the plan. You argue justly. Every turbulent and factious person in tue lately insurrectionary States is it sisliug, hin dering and delaying the work of restoration to the extent oi his ability. But the case is precisely the same with' ourselves. Maui testations of doubt, distrust, crimination, contempt or deuance in the loyal Slates are equally injurious, and equally tend lo delay the work ot reconciliation. ' • Riall !t be hastened V 1 reply L£* ,*> l H e 1 ? u « uu P (! ot the President— in the spirit ot the Constitution and iu har mony not onlv with our politics but with our religion We must trust each oilier.” (Ap plause.)

But, whether enmity, in peace or in W ar, we are and can be nothiDg else to each other than luwih.,., (Loud applause) wetnren. Near the close of his remarks he aUud Pd i u the most complimentary terms to President Johnson, whose patriotism and loyalty Wtre above suspicion with those who knew and I uuderstood him. He admonished them not t j fear the integrity of lhe man. Thut whilst he was liberal and conciliatory lo the erring South, he was true to the Union. Re closed his allusion to the Preaidcut with the remark that, among all the public men whom he had meter with whom he had been associated or concerned, in thi* or any other couutry, L no one iiea seemed to hliu to l»e tnojo wholly " fr,,,u eaprltm and •elfllb autbi -11111 ll "*" Audrew JuUuaou; uoae lo bn more purely and «*elusiv..|y movod in publin mi \Z\ ** 01 WUUI,y "•* • uod ***“ hi an i hU highly htUNeaUftg aihlreas, eiuauaiiag as it duet from the fmutef spirit r.f Uw H * publican party &ad tbe pr«lhler of tho Ameri can Cabinet, wdl be received with great satisfaction by the jwop’o of the South, ns establishing two im[>orUint tru'd a in which they are deeply interested, viz : That the plan of rss>nstruction adopted by the Presi dent, aud which has Iveeu ao c.wdially ap proved by ail c ase* of our people, “ is fixed aud unalterable,” and that tne President ami his cabinet are a unit in Us, support and wil j throw the potential Influences of the Exu'ii tive Department of the Government into tin ! scale ot the South, as opposed to the uudic j tive temper of Northern radicalism.

The Late Storm on the Coast. THE FOIwDERKD STEAMSHIP KE PT BMC. Two more Doat-Loadi of PoHOigw* Picked up. ARRIVALOFTHfiGEN. BARNES FROM KEY WEST—THE WHOLE COAST LINED WITH WRECKS. Yesterday'* Herald contained tbe sudin telligenee of tbe foundering at sea of the steamship Republic, bound to New Orleans from New York, an account of which dis aster was derived from the shipwreckedjpas sengers who had arrived at Charleston in one of the steamer's boats. They reported that they had left about sixty of the passen gers of the ill-starred in three other of ibe ship's boats and clinging to a raft construct ed from pieces of the wreck. A Hilton Head coi respondent informs us of the rescue of another boat-load, picked up by the schoon er “Wlliie Dillj" and the barkentine Horace Beal, which arrived last evening, reports having saved still another boat full. Mr. Wm. Cantwell, of Hilou Head, Agent of the schooner Willie Dill, writes 11s as fol lows; I In.ton Head. S. C., Oct. lit), 1865. Arrived to-day, Sunday, the Schooner “ Willie Dill” from New York to Port Royal. The Willie Dill reports that she picked np in a boat twenty of the, passengers and crew r of the steamer Republic off Charleston, ou Fri day, and brought them into this port. Four bouts had left the ill-fated steamer, of which this was the last one. It is the only one heard from as yet here. The at earner Empire City Is now prepar ing 10 ,eave here iu search of the missing boats. The republic left New York Wednesday, Oct. 18th, at 3 o'clock p. in., for New Or leans, with seventy-two passengers besides the crew on board. The steamer sunk soon after the boats left her, in about tho latidude of Savannah. The rescued boat-load had been three days iu tiro boat. Their small allowance of bread and water, had given out, when they were picked up by the “Wil lie Dill." The passengers say that the Republic was the old steamer “Tennessee,” and was to tally unfit for a sea voyage. She was chart ered for this trip by Messrs. Cromwell & Cos., and belonged to Messrs. Sturgis & Cos., of New York. The merchtiufs at Hilton Head at ouce rais ed subseriptiou for the rescued passengers on their arrival' aud administered to their wauls iu a highly commendable mauncr. They will return to the North by lire steamer Guiding Star, Wednesday morning, that steamer having put iu here in distress. The following is a list of the passengers of the steamer Republic; Capt.

Fcoripa News.—The Jacksonville (Fla.) ! Union, of the 28th Inst., makes tho gratify j ing announcement that George Nibiack, the | energetic President of the Jacksonville and ! Lake City Road, has been successful in making large additions to the rolling stock of tho road in the shape of new engines and passenger cars, which are expected to arrive at an early day. The same paper announces also the return of Capt. J. E. Bachman, a prominent citizen of that place, from a tour through Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Georgia, who gives a very discouraging account of the statu of affairs in those States. Everywhere on his route the same tale is told by planters and farmers—“the negroes will not work on the plantations.” The Jacksonville Herald says the Union and Floridian are out in favor of admitting colored persons to courts as wit nesses. The same paper learns also that the issue between the opposing candidates in the late electiou of delegates to the Convention, in some counties, were fair and square ou the question whether the Freedmen should he admitted to coiirts as witnesses,or denied that right aud privilege, and in every instance the friends of the negro were de feated. Mon. Alexander H. Elevens at Home The Augusta Ceiistitqtioiialtet of the 28th says: Ilea. Alexander H. Stephens arrived at his Ip,me, iu Ciavvfordville. yesterday. He is .reported to be looking belter than ever be fore though, liia hair is sprinkled with grey. He is accompanied by ids brother, Linton Stevens, aud Mr. Dnßois. Ton Telegraph Wires Down.—The wiles of the telegraph line to Augffsta have been down since yesterday forenoon, —which must be an apology for the absence oflate news from Milledgeville and the North. Tbe interruption in the line, wo are informed, is at a distance only about niue miles from the city, aud the wires will undoubtedly be repaired and in working order by noon to-day. Disease amono hie Freedmen. —The med ical department of the Freedmen’s Bureau estimates that it itas about seven thousand sick aud helpless negroes under its care and treatment in the Southern Slates, the number averaging about six hundred to each State. Deitv.uetlou of4l»e t Id llit»l» County Jail by Ftr--. Tlic Macon Telegraph of the 24th, says that the fire which resulted in the complete destruction ot tbe old Bibb county jail was the hottest known here for many years. It. commenced burning about 8 12 iu the morn ing, hut it was not until 2 p. in. that lhe whole building was on fire. There were three stories, caniainiiig eighteen cells, all of which, together with lhe hails, were inlaid with eighteen inches of solid pine. The walls stoutly resisted the heat for lourteen hours, but at last three sides completely gave way and fell to the earth. The Oeinulgee fire company stood by the burning mass until all danger was over, and almost incessantly poured water upon the houses of the gas company, and other buildings in pioxiinity, and llms prevented a further destrnctipn of property. Tne superior court will at ouce order anew and more sub*tautial jail to be constructed. Boston Morals.— The "Stale Constables” recently created by the Massachusetts Legis lature,. are already making their authority felt in Boston. Having prohibited the open ing of barber shops in that city on Sunday, they have now commenced war upon the proprietors of eatiug saloous, aud even upou apothecaries, who have been notified that they must hereafter close their places on Sunday, under penalty of prosecution. The Macon and Western Railroad, we arc in infonnedby the Intelligencer,has ceded its ti tle to the Depot gr ounds iu Alania for a spot, known as the Solomon and Peters property, aud seven thousand dollars in money. The Atlautians are now trying to make a similar bargain with the Georgia Railroad Company, aud thus procure to the city the exclu sive control of a site which may hereafter be beautified and improved greatly to the advantage of tbe city. A young man in Harrisburg, Pehn., an swered in advertisement in a New York pa per, which set forth that “valuable iuforma tiou would be forwarded on receipt of 10c,” The young mau sent the 10c. aud received the following : “Friend, for your ten cents, postage, Ac., please find enclosed advice, which may be of great value to you. As many persons are injured for weeks, inontbs and years by the carelesß use of a ltnifa, therelore, my advice is, when you use a knife always whittle from you.” A spirited competition now exists between two rival lines of steamers running between Richmond awl Norfolk, Va., and the fair has been reduced by gradations from sil to 75c., then 50., then 25c., until Saturday last, when 0 represented the price. One of the rival lilies lias added a band of music to its other attraction, while the other anuounces that they only trausport the public free of ex pense, but throw iu a “cockla it" before breakfast. As whiskey lias more charms than music with the peculiar class seeking a liee trip, the patronage extended the latter line i« said to exceed the former two to one.
