have impressed the President with the
necessity of retaining hi, hold upon,the
re:organising: States, and he has ordered
the Provisional. Governors of the Caro-,
lipasH and Mississippi TO retain theit;
places till further notice. The newly
elected Governors must, therefore, wait
till the Presidents is satisfied that, tho re-
construction Is sound and likely to DO
lasting. His frmness has already had
a good effect, and. the South Carolina
Legislature has FASTENED to adopt the
auti.slavery amendment to the United
States constitution, thus following the
example of Arkansas. The adoption OF
the amendment i, now fully assured,
and with it, in time, every thing else to
be desired. .... .. ....-.
The main point thus being won, de-
tails arc of minor consequence. Whcth.
or the tho Southern States shall be at
once restored to their old position and
influence 10 the Union, becomes matter
of policy, however it may be decided, the
Gnal result will be the same. The chief
question in the case now is whether i'm L.
mediate restoration il not most likely to
add to southern loyalty the higher elo .
ment of patriotism. The President cvl'
dcu,ly thinks so, and in all his inter-
course with tho southern people has ap'
pcaled to their higher motives, aud has
thus won their conGdencc. But recon.
struciion i, only tho beginning Of the
new life, Of the South. The southern
masses, white and black alike, arc isno'
rant aatmust be educated northern en-
tcrpriso and capital must infuse new lie
into the industry Of the South. aud the
social re.cn Grafton Of that section must
be gradual, though no. necessarily q
slow work. Time, faith aud patience
will accomplish it at last.
Some of our. best Union mon have
feared that tho reconstruction OF the
South would be too rapid and superficial
TO last.
The President knows how to put on
the breaks when it is necessary, aud he
will have the earnest cooperation OF
Congress in imposing such guarantees
for the future as will make everything
safe. The democrats, having fully com
mittel themselves to the support Of the
Presidents policy, will be unable to Or
gauizc an opposition to any precautions
however stringent, against latent disloy'
atty. 1t is clear that the President both
com prchcnds and commands tho situa:
ton, and those who have doubted aud
distrusted will soon sec that his well
considered policy hos brought the South
voluntarily to accept more radical re-
construction than could have been
forced upon them by years Of military
rule.

The New Orleans True Delta's Bra

made to day 6y the lmpereaIists. The
barsss Of wood for General Clarke, Com
mander at Brazos, broke loose above
Matimoras and Aoated past that place.
Two gunboats assisted by the land bat:
tcries, opened Gre on the barSos, and
con,in ucd until out Of range. The bar
ccs passed the batteries. one losing q
rudder. 1t appears the ImperalIsts
thought tho barges were Liberal rams
going down to damage the fleet at the
mouth of the Rio Grandc, and blockade
tho river. The Liberal army is en-.
camped about nine miles from Matamo'
ras, fully confident of the speedy capture
Of Matamoras and Bagdad.
Highly important communications
passed between the Imperial commander
Of the fleet and tho commander ut
Brow nsvillc, which will cause considera'
BILE interest in official circles. An order
was issued BY Mcjia on the l4th prohib'
tin. any one from crossing from the
American side to Matamoras, or vtct
rcrm. Upon receipt Of information OF
