REcoNsTRUCTIoN.--Alex II. Stephens stopped
at Charlotte N. c., lately, and made speech in
which he assured his victims that the South is
certain to succeed aud that reconstruction is not
to be thought OF at all
Such thing was impossible-such an idea
must not be tolerated for an instant. Recon
struction would not end the war. but would pro-
duce a more horrible war than that IN which we
are engaged. The only terms upon which we can
obtain permanent peace are final and complete
separation from tho North. Rather than submit
to anything short Of that, let us all resolve to
die like men worthy Of freedom
These are the mild gentry to whom Copper
heads wish to hold out the olive branch
How are Won nninp 10 mt down the rehnl.

>/CEETRE POINT IN THE FRoNT.-We have re-
ceived the proceedings of a highly patriotic
meeting Of citizens at Centre Point, on the
9th inst. The principal object was to provide
for the erection Of marble shaft in COM
memoration of those from the vicinity who
have died in the Confederate service since the
beginning of the war. 1t is a just and fitting
tribute of affection for the noble dead. Many
other resolutions were passed of an eminently
practical character-such as resolving to sell
1ecessaries of life to the families of soldiers at
2aoderste prices, and urging the formation of
= Companies of minute men without delay.
We will try to find room for the resolutions
next week. Meanwhile we give notice, that
the meeting adjourned TO re-assemble on the
4th of July, at which time there will be public
speaking and refreshments. Everybody is in
vited. Those people have the right spirit to
regulate matters at home; and it viii go hard
with US if we cannot participate with them on
the 4th 1t does our heart good to meet
crowd of people who set their country above
the sordid scramble for high prices and specu-
lstive gains. Its sort of patriotic love feast,
with sincere professors.

The BRITISH WAR.-We hear nothing
to confirm or contradict the rumor of i'm
pending hostilities between the United
States and Great Britain. We have al
ways looked for something of the sort
upon the old scriptural philosophy, that
wherever the carcass is there will the
eagles be gathered together. There is not
spark of generosity in the British Gov
eminent, nor never has been. The North
is her rival, and it is much to her interest
to take advantage of the present weak and
bankrupted condition of the United States
to crush her out of all important or dan
gerous existence. 1t is entirely credible
that she may be Oh the eve of this now.
Of course, no sympathy with US would be
the moving cause of such action.
On the other hand, the Cabinet of Lin
coin might not be averse just now to
British war, most especially if they can
nut Great Britain in the wrong. From
their stand point it seems most excellent
piece of good policy. They must now
apprehend very seriously that their plan
of Southern subjugation will turn out
failure. The war with us is opposed by
very large minority of their own people.
Success would save the Administration
and give it some glory. But want of sue
cess, which must loom before them as
.fearfully probable, would be their destruc-
ton at home, hopelessly and forever. A
British war would concentrate Northern
opinion in support of the Admin istra ton
if it were only on some plausible ground
Ginning with the old nation al antipathies
of the people. The Administration might
become more popular, and then making a
virtue of necessity, recognize the Sou thern
Confederacy on the pretext of the neces-
.sity Of the thing, in order to prosecute the
war against England. Indeed, without
some pretext, Lincoln cannot recognize
the South.
These considerations prepare us to be-
ieve in the not very remote prospect of
war between the United States and Grea
Britain, in which event great caution will
be necessary on our part to avoid CON-
uniting ourselves to England in any man
nsr which may prove embarrassing here.

under flag of truce, and dropped at Fosterville,
near Shelbyvill,, on the 25th of last month.
He is now at Sfelbyvlle. Upon being deliv-
cred to our m en-, he solemnly protested to those
who brought hin, and begged them to take
notice. that he was exiled by unlawful force,
and that he still claimed to be loyal citizen
of the State of Ohio. His receipt on is reported
to have been COO, and much embarrassment
generally seems to be felt as to the proper
treatment to be extended to him. He is a pub
lie enemy, sent to US involuntarily. 1t would
be scarcely kind to refuse him shelter, but
very imprudent to receive him into our conf
dence All his views are in direct antagonism
to the designs and wishes of the Confederacy.
We would be pleased to have him al
lowed to select some quiet retreat in some
portion of the country remote from mili-
tary operations or political centres, there
to remain, upon parol to abstain from all
correspondence with his political friends
at the North, and all conversation or writ
ing upon public matters which might
reach our people. We would be willing
to recognize in him the social gentleman,
and the martyr of constitutional liberty;
but cannot accord him our sympathy in
view of his political opinions regarding
the South. If he will not consent to those
terms, We earn estly hope that with all
possible poiitsness and courtesy he may
be assisted to find his way through the
blockade to some foreign port.

follows:

ed. aud the last man shall perish in the
