HONOR TO NATCHEz Young W. F Cheat
ham, son of VI. " Cheatham, Esq, of Co.

men to join his command, writes thus of the
citizens of Natchez, on the 3lst alt:
''Of ali the places [ have yet been fortunate
enough to be at, this is the best. We arrived
here yesterday evening, and were greeted by
every kind of grateful attention. We were
first placed in the Courthouse, Ia very spacious
room y and had our fires made, and there we
remained until dark. We were out of pro-
visions, and the hotel was so much crowded
that We could find no room. There was no
quartermaster to issue rations to US, and we
thought we would have nothing. But about
dark, 10! and behold here came every kind
OF provisions! They sent US eggs, butter.
milk, coffee, potatoes, and every kind of bread
and meat that man could wish for. From
dark until ten o'clock, something was coming
IN all the time Without exaggeration, there
Is now enough on the table to feed three hun
dred men; and good fare, too. As we are
only forty, we cannot take half of it with us.
Each family, | believe, tried which could fur
nish the best and most. A great many of us
were invited to their homes. | think if the
people Of all places were equally liberal and
generous, we would soon END this hated war
1t is, indeed, shame that soldier cannot
get anything at some other places; and --
deserves that shame"
We forbear to publish the name of the town
censured in the narrative of the candid, CRATE
full, and plains poken young soldier, AMI hope
the citizens were only careless, and not inten-
tionally neglectful. But we should all be
careful to sustain and buoy up the spirits Of
our brave boys, away from home. Hampstead

REcoNsTRUCT1oN.-Th Chicago Times is
the nearest right of any Northern journal We
know. Indeed, its genuine common sense
m light put TO the blush men and Journals here
ut the South who still covertly hint that after
all We had better drop cur idea of Southern
Confederacy, make friends and reconstruct
the Union. This aboninable treason, clothed
in sembance of Christian philanthropy, is now
and then stealthily lnsinuated. 1t is poisonous.
The Times, with all the disadvantage of the
proverbial ignorance concerning Southern men
which prevails at the North. sees deeper into
things than that. 1t accords more pride and
determination to the South than some Southern
men and journals would seem TO wish her to
exhibit. 1t foresees that the South will not
relinquish its idea of independence, and now
announces that it is willing to accord it. We
offer our hand to the Times on the italicized
portions of the following extracts from its
columns
.'But when restoration is offered in such
manner that the interests CT both parties are
manifestly subserved by it, and the honor of
each preserved, will the people of the South
reject the offer, and sacrifice themselves TO the
ambition and malevolence of party leaders :?
The answer to the reservations of the Abo-
htlon press that no terms of peace save those
that involve dissolution will be listened to by
the South, is to be found in the simple, prac-
teal truth, that If suca be the fact-if the South
IS un0ttsrd6ty pledged to his position--the arar
should instantly ceds', as the su5jHgation of the
South IS an ifpossi5iity."

A Bin to Reorganize the Rebel States.

Mr.. Ashley, Of Ohio, will introduce an
important bill providing, in accordance with
the Presidents message and proclamation,
for the establishment of provisional mill
tary government over districts Of the coun.
try 10 rebellion, aud for authorizing loyal
citizens of such districts to organize State
Governments.
The bill of Mr.. Ashley confers upon the
President the power TO appoint for every
district in sebe!dom, Military Governor,
who is to have civil administ ration, until
the State governments can be formed, and
Senators and Representatives to Congress
elected.
Whenever :be people desire re-organi-
cation of the State Government, the Mill
tary Governor is to order an enrolment Of
all loyal electors. As soon as the number
of the latter will be equal to one tenth of
the electors at the Presidential electors in
1860, the Military Governor shall order an
election of State Convention, which shall
be authorized to form State Government,
provided it is not repugnant to the Consti-
tuition of the United States, or the Presi-
dents Proclamation of January 1st, 1863,
and slavery is forever prohibited and abol-
ished. The new Constitution is to be sub.
mitted to the people. and after its adoption,
Senators and Representatives to Congress
may be elected. All the laws of the for
mer constitutions of these districts, making
distinctions between white and black per-
sons, are abrogated, aud any Infringement
Of individual freedom is to be punished as
kidnapping.
