Tl,e PcInt fhnf pInonnr.

The Press Of yesterday morning says;
The Governors cath requires al Inst
is contained in the Presidents; therefore
If there is anything offensive to 'inno-
cent and original Union men" in the lat
ter, It is plain in the former.
Original Union men object TO the Pres
idenfs oath, not fer what it contains, bat
because Of the fact that all who take IL
are regis cred alike-sll are placed in the
same category; the soldier in the Union
army stands beside tho Fepentant rebel
colonel; and aside from other evidence,
which cannot always be procured, tie
record is as black against the one as the
other. The oath of Gov. J ohnson is in
tended to place the Union man in his
true attitude.
If we understand the Press, it objects
to the addition which the Governor makes
to the oath prescribed By the President,
which reads as follows:
/ ardently desire the suppression of
the present instruction and rebellion
against the Government of the United
States, the success Of its armies and the
defeat of all those who oppose them.
OF course the Press objects to this
clause.
In our opiniOn-and we give the sug-
gestion for what it is worth-either the
President or the Governor ought TO have
provided the simple oath of allegiance,
together witha clause affirming that the
sffiant had never aided the rebellion, TO
be taken by those who have always been
loyal; and then the record would have
been clear.

A letter TO the New Bedford Standard
from Newbarn, 10Th inst, says that, on
the 18th, three companies of the 9th
North Carolina Rebel) regiment came in,
and most of them have enlisted under
the Stars and Stripes. They say all the
regiment would have come if they had
the chance. About 800 of the rebel
prisoners in Gen. Buffers department
have signifed their willingness to enlist
in the Union army; and large number
of those at Book Island Gil y have Joined
the navy.
The Richmond papers received at
latest dates, acknowledge that mutiny
occurred in the 18Th Mississippi regi-
ment, as reported through our pickets
some days since. Several were wound
ed, and one killed.

Press.
The Press is like the man who wanted
to have bis dogs tail the fashionable
length, which, the tradition informs us,
was, in that age and country, four inches;
and in order to accomplish his object be
cut off An inch at . time, waiting always
for the wound to heal up, before be ap-
piled the knife again. Ga being asked
his reason for this, he replied that he did
it in mercy 10 the animal; it would be
too severe an operation to cut it all of at
once.
The Press, however, goes even further
than the owner of Fido; four-fifIhs Of
the unwieldly csudal appendage, called
slavery, has been severed, by the confis-
cation act; the knife, welded by mex
CRADLE circumstances, has truck deep in
the remainder; and when the whole work
could be completed without difficulty, it
would withdraw the blade, uss some
patent balm, not only to heal the wound
but also to re-unite the completely dis
jointed parts; and then, il we may be-
lieve its professions, it would commence
cutting of an inch at time.

WORK on the Navy.

instructions have been sent to the COM
manding officers Of the Navy Yards of
Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Bos-
ton, enjOining them TO hurry up as rapid
ly IS possible the completion of the largo
Navy Yard iron clads in course of con-
struction at these places. 1t will be re-
membered that all the iron clads now in
the service in the United States are built
by contractors, not one of which has been
constructed at Navy Yard. Four of
the vessels-the Miantomonsh, Monad-
mock, Tonawanda and AgsmentiOus-
were ordered to be built at the four Navy
Yards, and one of them only is launched.
It lie probable that in compliance with the
wishes of the Navy Department the Others
will be put a6Oat within = month. In
formation has been received, however,
that the plating of the TOnawanda has
commenced, which will render it possible
to finish her very speedily after she is
aAoat.
SO much hiss been said about the slow
ness Of our Navy, that it is proposed to
run some of the vessels afOat against pri-
vate steamers; and it is highly probable
that the match will soon come off The
Sassacus, one of the class most violently
abused, has made fifteen knots with her
armament, coal and two months prOvis-
ions on board. The AgaWAm made
twelve knots in heavy weather, the Eutaw
made fifteen knots; the Wateree averaged
ten knots when passing through field ice
several inches thick. Captain Craven re-
ports that, on q recent trial between the
Tuscorara and squadron of nine Span
ish vessels, our ship beat sI the others
except the side wheel steamer Isabella II.
The Tuscarera is 3 screw steamer.

Putting Il strong.

The Press, of yesterday, assumed a
position, the correctness of which it de-
clared, did not admit of the shadow Of a
possibility of doubt" 0ace upon a time,
the Prince Regent of England, afterwards
GeorgeIV, addressed Parliament from the
throne, using 3 number of superlatives,
similar to the above, whereupOn a mem
Der, not at all imbued with that sacred
respect for royalty, which ought to per-
wade the breasts Of all true subjects, in.

pesrsd to him indicative Of a rather

apply TO this country.

Tho DIscontent in North Carolina

The nIscontent in North Carolina.
With every arrival from Newbern,
we receive additional evidence Of the
growing discomfort in the old North
State. It's people never entered into the
rebellion willingly; never supported The
war heartily; and now that every in
ducement held out every promise made
by the rebel leaders, have been delusive,
thew demand to be allowed TO separate
themselves from the waning fortunes Of
the original cOnspirstOrs, and, OF course,
this means nothing else than q return to
the Union. Late Richmond papers say
that there is = storm brewing in North
CsrOlinA, which threatens TO be even more
disastrous to their cause, than the ad-
vance of the Union armies; and well
they may; for if there be any vitality
existing in the Oonfederaey, the with
drawsl of that State would end it.
Ata late festival, st which Governor
y.noe and other leading politicians, were
urssent, the Stars and Stripes we're
toasted; Dr.. Leach, member elect to
the rebel Congress, is urging = oOnven-
ton 70 declare the State separated from

The latest information from the South,
through rebel sources, is to the effect that
a heavy expedition is fitting out for the

is highly probable that another has fol-

reorganization IN Arkansas and
L9u RIann.

The work OF reorganization in Louisi-
ana and Arkansas goes on with great
rapidly. The people sre cooperating
with the military commanders, and the
first Of May will witness the civil author
tiles replaced on = firm footing. The
blessings flowing from this viii be
almost incalculable; ali are aware Of the
advantages resulting from organization
and when these advantages sre on the
side Of the Union cause, they will speed
lily restore order where anarchy has
reigned supreme during the last two
years.
In Arkansas, = convention Of 'Tepresen-
tatives of the people have assembled, and
agreed, with but . single dissenting
voice, to the abolition Of slaVeey in the
State; and Il. question is TO be sub
mitied to q vote Of the loyal citizens, st
the same time that Governor and Leg
islAture is elected to carry out an
amended constitution, should it be
adopted, of which there is little qnes-
ton. This is Fastening the workout
fastening it in accordance with the
wishes and viii Of the people themselves,
who are anxious that the work shall go
on IS rapidly as possible. 1t is believed
that the vote which viii be pOlled will
be at least 20 600; the largest ever pOlled
in the State being but 54.356. A civil
Governor was selected by the convention
to administer affairs till the new author
tiles should be installed.
On The 22d Of February, an election
will take place in Louisiana, for State of
fcers, and members of a Constitutional
Convention; and there is promise that
the attendance at the polls will be large.
The State never gave many to exceed
10000 votes; and lis believed that there
will be at least 10000 cast on the 22d.
ali the papers in New Orleans, including
the True Delta, hitherto Copperhead, sup
port the movement, and recommend the
largest possible array of strength. At
first several of the factions opposed the
act of Gen. Banks, because be was for
the reorganization of the State, without |
regard to the personal interests of the |
leaders of either; but they have at
length become unanimous in their sppro-
val Of his course. His sincere desire that
the good of the country alone be con-
suited, has won him golden opinions from
all sorts of people, except traitors, sc dis
interested patriotism viii always do.
Whenever the loyal residents of any
particular State have received the proper |
encouragement, they have always been
eager TO reestabIish civil authority; and |
if the Administration will now give its
attention TO the single task Of crushing
the rebel military power, and allow |
the loyal people Of the freed districts to
act untrsmmeled, save by the restrictions
of the amnesty proclamation, then the |

The Rebels and the Presidential
Canvass.

The Richmond Wing of late date dis
cusses, at considerable length, the ques-
ton of The next Presidency of The United
States, and alleges that the South, will
feel . deep interest in the result. In
summing up, it declares that any change
from Mr.. Lincoln will be 3 gain TO the
Confederacy. This is high compliment
to our present chief magistrate; it is
equivalent to saying that he has managed
affairs more skillfully than any one else
could have done. The suggestion Of the
Wing, win have great weight at this
time.
