The Memphis Evening Bulletin Of the
18th instant says that movements for re-
construction in accordance with the Presi-
dents late proclamation will be COM
menced at once. The proclamation says
that whenever, in any state in a condition
Of insurrectiou, number Of persons num-
bering not less than One-tenth of the num-
ber Of votes cast at the Presidential cleo
ton of 1850, have taken the prescribed
oath Snd being qualified voters at the
time Of secession, shall re establish state
government, such government shall be re.
cognized as the true government Of the
State. In 1860 the population of Tennes-
see was 1,I08, 800, and the total vote for
President that year in the State 145, ,S9S.
Hence 4,5SS Of these voters have it in
their power to RECONSTRUCT" the State of
Tennessee. The Bulletin pertinently asks {:
"CSn any one doubt that it will DO done
East Tennessee can do the business itself"

Mr.. Liucnln.. Kind.bearte.Iae.s.

The Newark New Jersey Advertiser,
referring to the second capture by the
rebels of Benjamin shuItz of that city,
member Of the Eighth New Jersey regi-
ment, mentions the following;
HAn incident connected with Mr.. Shultz
illustrates the kind-heartedness Of Mr..
Lincoln. On his return from his former
Imprisonment, on parole, young Shultz
WAS sent to Camp Parole at Alexandria.
Having had nc furlough since this wsr,
efforts were made, without success, to get
him liberty to pay a brief visit to his
friends; but having faith in the warm
heartedness of the President, the young
soldiers widowed mother wrote to Mr..
Lincoln, ststing that he had been in near
" every battle fought by the Army CT the
Potomac, had never asked furlough, was
now paroled prisoner and in consequence
unable 10 perform active duties, that two
of his brothers had also served in the
army, and asking that he be allowed to
visit home that she might see him once
more. Her trnst in the President was not
unfounded. He Immediately caused a
furlough to be given to her son, who, short
ly before he was exchanged, visited his
family to their great surprise and joy"

NaFuLfys
The government has determined upon
organizing an immense cavalry force,
which shall be placed under the command
of MsiOr Generals. Net less than one
hundred thousand strong shall our cavalry
number by next spring. They will sweep
everything before them, and reduce the
South 70 such state of destituiOn as will
psrforee bring about desire for peace. A
powerful body Of cavalry, making raid
into rebel territory and laying it waste,
will infiet an irreparsble injury upon the
enemy, whose population has been SO con-
scripted that but few are left to farm the
lands. Destroy what these few have done,
and there is not energy and vitality
enough left in the rebel country to repair
the damage done 1t must be apparent
that these sudden attacks can but be made
by cavalry. Infantry cannot move with
sufficient rapidity to euter portion of
country, lay it waste, and then quickly
move on to some other field of operation.
It is only with mounted men such a result
can be accomplished. Next spring we
shall be enabled, with our grest superiority
Of force, to crush the rebellion totally, and
not the least efficient arm of the service
viii be the cavalry.

The National Bank Currency.

The theory upon which the national
banks are formed consists mainly IN the
substitution Of government faith for State
securities. In other words, one-third OF
their capital consists Of United States
bonds deposited with the Treasurer at
Washington. The notes are supplied BY
the government itself, being prepared by
contact by the most skilful bank note as
sociatioDs in the country.
In this connection, it may be stated st
the start by the way, thst the plates, de-
signs and appearance Of sll these notes
will be the same for all the States, with the
single and necessary exception Of the local
names and numbers.
The face Of the five dollar notes may be
briefly described as follows:
At the left hand corner Of the fsoe is
vignette representing Columbus sighting
land. He is standing on shipboard, and
in the act Of pointing out the shore OF
Guiana Hani, while figure, kneeling, Is
seen pointing in the same direction, and
looking into The face Of the great discoy-
erer. In the immediate foreground II
another figure with q Gross in clsspeC
hands. and the face turned heaven wards
in Thanksgiving to the Almighty. Th'
background is occupied by apriest snC
other figures while on the sail above tn
word ''fve" is engraved in highly Orna
/ mental letters.
The vignette consists Of picture of 20
umbus presenting America, in the forE
Of sn Indian maiden, to the Old World
presented By three figures, representa-
Europe, Asia and Africa. In the foliag
overhead is the figure Eve, handsomely ol
namented.
The border Of the face is composed
the word FIVE, scroll work, consisting
grape leaves, and the figure 5, alternatin
in panels. The novel popularity Of Il
T. border is that no two words, figures
o scrolls are exactly alike, having been Vi
D ried purposely, 50 that the counterfeit ms
be able 10 initiate the note by repeatl1
e small por ions, as is frequently noticed
J. spurious meney. In order toimitste the
e notes the counterfeiter will fad it nece
q sary to engrs7e the whole with the N
nutest nicely.
The legend of the face, or that pord'
: which is to be read, contains the folloWll

Wendell Phillips on President Lincoln.

Wendell Phillips on President Lincoln.
FOrneys Press in commenting upon the
recent attack Of Wendell Phillips on the
President, INDUCES in the following sem
sible reflections to which every thorough
going Union man must give his hearty ad-
hesion:
"AIl in good time, Mr.. Phillips, but
don't blame the President because he re-
spects his oath and the laws Of his country.
We know you do 1t in the kindest spirit,
but in g perfectly just spirit we would
have you remember that he is not TO work
in your way ss an irresponsible reformer,
but in his own as q servant Of the people.
Yet, we think Mr.. Lincoln has fair claim
10 the leadersbip-of the war, to which Mr..
Phillips seems TO demur. When we con-
slider how one month sgo the whole North
was differing about the methods of restors-
ton Of the Southern States, and how its
highest craftsmanship could suggest no
plan universally satisfactory, we are as
t0nished at the present unanimity. To
what is il due if not to the wisdom of the
President? He has not cut the knot; he
has united its last perpleXity. He has sug-
| gested plan which has the merit not only
of a righteous principle, but Of praotica-
bility, and which is already in course of
application in two States. If 10 do what
ell others failed to do is not to lead the
people, then we have no leadership but
that of Providence. Mr.. Lincoln is truly
the servant Of the people, as Mr.. Phillips
declares, for he faithfully executes their
will, and only their will But he is also
the leader Of the people, for he interprets
their will, and enfOrees it by measures
originated by his own wisdom, and execut-
ed in his own time and manner. Any
other leadership is Rnsroy or despOtism,
and the historian will record il IS the no
blest proof of Abraham Lineeln's great
ness, that, throughout all the struggles
and trials Of his Administration, amid the
opportunities which might have grali6ed
the ambition Of Napoleon, he never once
forgot his allegiance to his countrymen,
his duty to his country. His course has
been SO high, 80 pure, 50 unselfsh, that the
very criticism Of his opponents, when
properly interpreted, is seen TO be higher
praise than even the compliments Of his
friends That which Mr.. Phillips sincerely
deems the blemish Of his Administration,
every day more clearly shows to be its
beauty. The highest and truest servant
Of loyal people is necessarily their De,
hVerer."

The border and pieces ara printed in
green. The border is made up of the fig
ure on 6 shield repeated. In the top
border occur the words "nationsl cur
rency."
The end piece to the left contains an
oval with figure symbOlical of the Dis
tIict of Columbia, exquisitely engraved,
the name of the District being engraved
in the cloud work. The oval at the right
end contains the eagle on the national
shield, with the cypher Az. s." in the
sky. The two upper corners have each
the word give" engraved on the face Of
the scroll work, while the two lower cor
ners have the figure engraved on lathe
work.

From the n. Y. Christian Advocate and Jonrnal.
"Our Patent Office reports show that no
branch of mechanical skill has been more
pursued by inventive genius Of late years
than that Of simplifying and chespening
sewing machines, which has resulted in
broducing a machine remarkable for its
simplicity, which mS zes good strong
seam, without liability to rip, even when
cut into small pieces, By using only one
thread direct from the spool. 1t was not
easy to convince US that one thread would
produce seam fit for general use and Of
reliable strength; but experience has
proved it to be so. This machine has been
tested in the past two years by private
families and by manufacturers. After
many experiments with other machines,
this one has been adopted by the large
hosiery manufacturers Of Philadelphia, in
whose work peculiarly 6rm and elastic
seam is required In our own city s
prominent manufacturer Of fine muslin
and oambric goods, who year ago was a
firm advocate of the shuttle machine, has
now discarded their use altogether and
adopted this.
"For family sewing in all its varieties,
the work Of this simple machine is found
perfectly strong and reliable; and its hem
ming is done on the right side, and to any
| width, and Is nest and accurate beyond
comparison. Telling slsO is readily per.
formed by it. and we can not see any re-
quisite for family purposes which it car
| not be made to meet as readily as any
sewing machine in use. 1t is simple and
easy to work, can not be run in the wrong
direction, nor is there the slightest Difficult
ty in changing the needle; it is not liz
bic to get out Of order, and combines
oheapness with its other merits.
"While, therefore, we abste none of thC
well-deserved praises We have given tC
the others, we must in justice express oul
confidence in the merits Of the Wilcox S
Gibbs Sewing Machine. We consider tina
3 greet desideratum has been supplied BY
1t, in proving beyond doubt that tW'
threads are not as was supposed, neoes
sary to good instrument, and we recon
mend all who deGire to consult economy 0
time, labor, and money, to 60 and see i
for themselves, and give it fair exsmin
alton without prudence

The former inscription will be common
to the national bank notes in all the States,
while the latter gives an illustration OF
the necessary deviation required by local
names and numbers.
In the lower margin Of the face are
found the words. "Act approved February
%, 1863" The spaces beneath each Wig
nette are left vacant for the signatures
of the President and Cashier Of the
bank.
The back Of the note displays another
beautiful exhibition Of ingenuity and
taste. The principal vignerte is large
oval, extending over the greater part Of
the back, reproducing Vanderlin's famous
picture in the rotunda Of the Capitol at
Washington, representing the landing OF
Colnmbns The picture is printed in
black. as are also the legends which sur
round it.

The Rmbarrassmenr Of Louis Napoleon.
The Emperor Of the French is decidedly
in a peck Of trouble. Recently he under
took to mske grand move by calling
European Congress for the purpose Of set
Ting all the vexed European questions,
such as the Danish and schleswig- HOlstein
imcroglio the Austra-Italian dispute the
Polish Rebellion, SC. In this Congress
the Emperor expected to be the Chief Cook
and Bottle Wasber-or in other words, the
biggest toad in the puddle.
Unfortunately for the seheming ''nepheW
Of his Uncle" his calculations all fel
through, owing to the fact that the othei
powers declined to sccept his invitation
to attend the Congress. They doubles
have taken warning from reading tn
story Of The Spider and the Fly. Russi
accepted the invitation, conditioned tina
the Congress should not meet till after he
trouble with Poland was settled, which, {
course was tantsmount to REFUSAL Eos
land sent a very polite, formal declinaiol
The smaller powers, therefore, took coui
age and followed the example of Englan'
The result is Louis Napoleon wants
fght somebody for treating his invitstio
SO contemptuously, but dare not, for
hiss got his Mexican elephant on bis hand
In addition to this his Minister Of Finan,
NJ. Fould, has reported to him that h
treasury receipt for the psst year shows
deficit Of 2OO,OOO,OOO francs, or $4,000
600. Consequently the probability is vel
great that Louis Napoleon will be cor
PEELED By necessity to keep the peace wi
the other powers for the present, or
least until he gels rid of his Msxica
troubles.

Adiutant General Thomas is entitled TO
the gratitude Of the nation for the good
work he has done in the organization of
negro troops. In the Lower Mississippi
he has put in the field &c, 900 drilled slaves,
sppOrtiOning them to the artillery, infant
~ and cavalry.
General Banks has at least 1900 Of
them. But what adds to the merit of his
work is the fact that these negro troops
are regarded as the best in our service
He has 81, 900 women and children in that
region. These are TO be put on the sban-
dOned plantations, the women under wa
ges; the children, also, but Rt~the easiest
work. These plantations are being leased,
not at stipulated rent but for q royalty
on the produce.
General Thomas is to return almost i'm
msdiately to accomplish the organization
Of these forces; then he goes to New Or
leans; then to Texas; then to PenssCOls.
The rebels begin to hate General Thomas
with deadly hatred and well they may !;
for he is undermining the institution ss
nothing else can do.
We shall probably have by Spring lOO,-
900 negro soldiers under arms.

Indisposition Of One Of the Editors of the
Herald
We regrettO announce that the senior ed
itor of the Herald has had sDother attack
Of his old disease, which his friends had
fondly hoped he had fully recovered from,
but which now they fear has become
chronic. We allude to his affection Of the
head, pronounced by his physician to be a
disease known ss the Post Office on the
brain" The columns of his paper Of last
Thursday evening show symptoms Of the
most decided character that that disease
hss taken q new start, and become deeply
seated. We extend to him our editorial
sympathy, and hope be may recover, and
be able to read the word Postofice with
8 philosophical equanimity wherever he
he finds it among his exchanges. AT
present that word has the same effect
upon him that water has on a mad dog.
