LONDON, WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 20, 1863.:

o--

The arrival of the City of Washington brings us
satisfactory intelligence respecting American affairs.
President JOHNSON has shown good sense andsound
policy by discountenancing the arbitrary interfer-
ence of Federal military commanders with the ar-
rangements of the provisional governors. He
appears to perceive the rashness and cruelty of in

sistiug upon the South re-entering the Union, and
at the same time putting every obstacle in the way
and heaping insult and humiliation on a brave
and only half-subdued people. It will be re-
membered that Governor STARKEY of Missis-
sippi gave orders for the organisation of two
militia companies to protect life and. property
from the stray guerillas and freebooters who
are sure to be found in an unsettled country like
the South at the abrupt conclusion of a desperate
This order General SLOCUM, of the Federal
army, thought proper to countermand---rpossibly
in the belief that all military arrangements were
better under one head—but he did not apparently
perceive that it was a harsh and imprudent
step to take at the present juncture. It
.should be
the great object of all earnest and patriotic men to
strive to reconcile the people of the Southern States
to the existing. Government. However natural
their dreame of independence, however heroic their
efforts to realise them, there remains nothing for
them at present 'but submission to the Federal
authorities, and any resistance can only cause ad-
ditional suffering without in the slightest degree
advancing their cause. It is natural that the Con-
federates should feel reluctant to yield to the
Northern authorities, but as such has been the for-
tune of war they will only add to- the misfortunes
of their country, protract the poverty and Wretch-
edness of the people, and defer their reassumption
of the position which the Southern States for-
merly
Occupied in the Union. General LEE,
always a true patriot, as well as an heroic
soldier, has fully recognised this fact, and
has just given convincing
proof of his senti-
ments by accepting the presidency of Washington
College, Lexington, Virginia. It must have been
painful to him to emerge from his dignified retire-
went, and to proclaim his submission to the Govern-
ment against which he had fought so long, and
which still held in durance his friend and leader,
JEFFERSON DAVIS, but he is not the man to shrink
from any duty, however painful, and now as ever
his patriotism and his anxiety for the welfare of his
people are paramount with him. In his letter
of acceptance, he observes that it is the duty
of every citizen in the present state of the country
to do all in his power to restore peace and harmony
and in no way to oppose the policy of the Govern-
ment to that effect. lie added that it was parti-
cularly incumbent on those charged with the in-
struction of the young to set an example of sub-
mission to authority, thereby professing his own
intention in accepting the proffered post. His
counsel and his example will no doubt have a
powerful effect, and all who once followed him in
the field will feel that what General LEE advises
canna be inconsistent with the feelings of
a true patriot and an honourable man.

President

JOHNSON will uo dOubt learn with great
sc,tisfaciion the course pursued by his distinguishe4
adversary, and, his words will show him still more
clearly- the wisdom •of pursuing a conciliatory
and temporary course. 411 r. JouNspN, as welave
said, has acted wiselg coadenco in the
