THE MILITARY GOVERNORS.

The work OF restoration in the rebcnious
States is to be entrusted to Military Gov
ernors, {: half way position between the
military commander and tile civil magis-
trate. Some Of these have already COM
meuced their duties and one Of them at
least, very poorly. Our report of yester-
days Congressional proceedings shows that
Edward Stanly has entered upon his in
portant functions in North Caro1iua, after
the old approved method Of Union Saving,
which means save Slavery first. The
great iniquity Of nan selling has always
stood in dread Of education Of the white
masses, but to school the blacks and en-
able them to read, it has always deemed
sheer treason. Just so thinks Gov. Stan
ly, and among his first acts is the closing
Of the schools opened for the contrabands
at Ne1bern and other points. It will
bear looking into by Congress, and thor
oughly. And it should induce great eau
ton in selecting incum5ents for posts yet
to be filed. It was said to be q highly de-
sirable qualification in Gov stanly that
he was "natiye and to the manner
born" in North Carolina. That
was something, but not enough to atone
for the evils and hindrances bitter pro-
slavery man filing such a post must iney-
itably entail upon the Union cause. Let
us have 10 more such, hut when the Presl-
dent appoints Military Governors for Louis
lana, and Kentucky, Arkansas, and other
States let them be men who love the Union
better than slavery, and recognise in the
latter the monster that has aimed at the
overthrow Of the Government. Men who
are in sympathy opposed to the Emancl
patton messages Of the President, who cher
ish the feeling that Northern agitation ant
interference with slavery is responsible
for this war, are men whose appointment:
to these delicate and important duties vii
visit bI ght upon Unionism. It will gen
orally lie found to be true Of such men tha
they have given the war for the Union ne1
ther sympathy nor support; that they haV
cavilled where they dared not doubt, ant
that in their private memorandum books
if not in their open street conversation
they put deeper damnation over agaius
the names Of Abolidonis:s than againEt tn

had ever been mounted. This was the repre-

OF the numbers of the rebels, the highest %

thousand men, and this was predicted upon the
basis of one thousand men to . regiment, which
is about double the actual fact.
The bulk of the rebels were at Csntreviiie,
As appears by the huts in which they lived.
Our informant says, that the most intelligent
person he saw thought that the number at Cen.
treville Was twenty thousand.
The rebels had bad at Ceatrsville about TWEEN.

The Notifications at Manassas, five in number,
had been mounted with real guns, and guns,
too, of good sizs and description. But, Of
course, they were not formidable to those who
kept out of their reach, and these works could
easily have been passed On either flank, and re
duced BY cutting of their communications in
the rear, if q direct assault was not thought de-
sirable.

1t ID = superficial view, therefore, of the
present National crisis, which supposes that this
conflict can end and leave things a. it found
them. We must cross this feed that
swells and feams. or abandon the National
hopes Of = glorious future. The issue ALREADY
made between oppression and liberty must be
fought out to the end now. or refought hereafter,
and perhaps under aggravated circumstances.
Slavery re-established, and the same csnse-
quences essentially would foile~ again.
There is, really, 10 possible hopeful end to
this conflict but the end Of slavery. There lie
no such easy escape from eur national troubles
as some seen to imagine-no prospect of the
war being short but BY being ussless, or else by
being radical and determined; and, may add,
in regard to false principles, most uusparng.
To purpose, therefore, thar the UnIOs sn.ii su,.
vive, and it, glory and power be triunphantly
restored and perpetuated, is virtually to doom
slavery to speedy extinction. The preservation
Of the Union and the destruction of slavery are
woes lor one "sses.~.;, -osee fos sho other.
