Judging from tbe tenor of Northern sen timent, especially with the Radicals, it is apparent' that all the mistrust of Southern ers by Northerners grows out of real or willful misunderstanding of the true feel ings and temper of the people of the South.

Now, if the capitalist j ernor of North-Carolina is about ten thou- j j s taxed at once so oppressively, it will ! prove such a deadly draft upon his busi ness that his accumulation will necessuri- be slow. It is an established truism rest in tbe hearts of a few—a very few of our people. Every public act, whether iu Convention or iu the primary assembla ges of the people, has demonstrated, in the most unmist^keahle terms, that the 8outhern people have given up djl feelings of opposition to the General Government, ana iuat tnoir only desire Is to tie restor ed, as speedily as possible, to their former rights under the American Constitution ; and nothing but extreme ignorance can induce the belief in the minds of any por tion of the Northern people that there re mains hostility to the Federal authority. If ignorance does not give rise to such a belief at the North, then we can attribute jt to nothing but a wilfull disposition to .oppress us, mid to keep the South :n a state of a be}’a nee as a mailer of revenge! The effect of all this is merely to retard federates, aud the total obliteration Government under which I acted. I ie- j ceived the first intelligence of the down fall of the Confederate cause on the second of A ugust, from tlte British bark Barra- : couta, and desisted immediately from fur- , ther acts of war until I could cornmuni- . cate with a European port, and learn if the intelligence was true. I could not , have been sensible that the tales told by : American ships were true, but merely up on the statement of a. British captain I diligently si/ught for a piecedciit in law- ; writers for guidance in the future control, • management and final disposal of the ves sel, but lotmd none. Finding the author- j ity questionable under which 1 acted, I : immediat'-ly ceased eruisiiig and shaped her course for the Atlantic. I did not feel justified in dent roving the vessel, but, on the contrary, thought tin* ship should rr- 1 vert to the American G< vernment 1 thcretoie sought Liver poo to learn the news, and, if without fouinlaiion, to stir- : render the ship, with her guns, stores, and td with ice to its mouth. Brown Bros. <Sc Co. deny that the Con federacy had anything to do (as has been stated) with a draft of 53,000 paid by them. The Methodist Conference in Mississip pi, just adjourned, adopted resolutions providing fur the education of freed men, j their wives and children. The Confederate Attorney General, Geo. ; Davis, who airived in New York 1mm Key West, was arrested and sent to Foit j Lafayette on the T tli ult. The lower House of the Missouri Legis-; had incomes in ’64 lature passed a bill prohibiting railroad companies from collecting fares unless passengers are provided with seats. cording to the “ eleventh section of the act of June 30th, 1864.” Yet, aside from the policy of the system, there are other causes that appeal more eloquently for a modification: that is the poor and impov erished of the South—the orphan and the widow—for they are nut to be the less pitied for being the widows and orphans i f the brave who full struggling for a cause they thought just, though lost.— Oue might say, in assessing taxes, where little is given, little is expected; but hi the present condition of the country this | will operate very differently. Thousands who are now almost are now ruined and insolvent.

Why should there exist at the North ! •uch a state of ignorance in relation to tin* true sentiments and motives of the South ern people? What good do they promise themselves will result from the keeping up of a spirit of mistrust and misunder standing between the two sections—espe cially when the Southern people are giv ing every unmistakeablc evidence of an abiding desire to cultivate good feeling tow&rdu the General Government ? Have they given themselves up entirely to a spirit of revenge—to a fiendish desire to oppress a people who ate already suffi ciently crushed, us regards the material elements of prosperity ? Why do they not see the wisdom and the good policy of meeting the Southern people squarely and openly in the restoration, not only of tbe Union, but of fraternal and kind feel ing between the people ? A restoration of tho Union, without the hearts of the people being concentrated in attachment restoration at all ! The truth is, there is a class of politi cians at the North—composed of men who never took the field to perpetuate the Union—who did not give vent to their peut-up wrath towards the South when deem proper.” The following dispatch from Mil- Itdgeville, says the Atlanta Intelligence»•, contains important inlorn.ation to mem bers elect to the Legislature, which body convenes on Monday next, at 10 o’clock: Mii.i.KncEviu.K, Nov 20, 1865.

Such men are doing all they can to prevent a fraternity of feeling to take the place of discord and bitter an imosity ; such raeu ought to be regarded as the worst enemies of the whole coun try, and as treacherous to all that is good aud humane in the human heart ; such men, had they the power, would forever blast the hopes of the country merely to satiate a fanatical, rampant political de sire for proscription ; and, to accomplish this hellish purpose, they are resorting to every strategem, however base, to carry their point. Will the good people of the North and of the South stand idly by and let theso political disorganizers impede and destroy the best interests of the country ? Will they not make every effort to enlighten the popular mind of both sections as to the true interests of the whole country ? Against these disorganizers and political Bcavangers the efforts of every true man should oe directed, in older to save the country from a fratricidal policy of ostra cism towards the South Tliero can be no true restoration of tho Union until there is a perfect understanding, ou the part of both sections of the couutry, to trust each other as honest. Truth mu6t assert her soprcmacy, and dispel the hydra of mis representation which is doing so much to keep alive the baueful spirit of Mistrust and Misunderstanding betwecu the people of tbe two sections.

It is constantly reported to the Com missioner and his Agents that the freod- liicn have been deceived as to the inten tions of the Government.

Are the vir tues that challenged our reverence in the patriots of other times and other lands, to be sneered at when illustrated in the lives and deeds of our fellow-countrymen. We say, without fear of contradiction, that the Southern man who took no part in the glorious struggle of his section; who felt no interest in its result, and no pride in the noble qualities displayed by his countrymen, would never have shoulder ed his musket in tlie Revolution; never have starved with Marion, nor triumphed with Gates. Such a man would have hounded Washington to death had he been unsuccessful, he would have been a parasite to Howe and a lickspittle to Corn wallis, he would have blazoned forth his “ loyalty” to his King, by denouncing his countrymen as rebels, and proved hi.> fealty to Britain by treason to his native land. There are some such men in the South to-day, but not many; not many who would purchase place or preferment by befouling the names of the Confederate leaders, or insulting the memory of the Confederate dead. The Southern people have nothing to be ashamed of in this struggle, and nothing to be sorry for but that their sacrifices were made in vain. Even the true-heart ed Unionists of the South glory in tli prowess, the endurance, and the dash i their people, their energy and action, their fertility in resources, their moderation in triumph, and tlieir fortitude in defeat.— They exult in the deathless fame they have .acquired, the lofty qualities they have displayed, and the imim rtal names t.iey have added to the world’s roll of fame.
