The Policy OF Peace.

The Richmond Enquirer maintains that the
United States, instead of placing themselves in
antagonism to the Canadas, should make it their
first duty to secure their good will. 1t says. GIVE
need peace at home to enable the restored Union
to recover breath from its gigantic efforts, to let
passions die out, and love and good will grow up
again, and to make it conscious Of that strength
which lies in union. We need peace to restore
our commerce abroad, and our finances at home,
and to work out, undisturbed, the mysterious fate
Of millions of freedmen in our midst. We have
every inducement, then, to look with kindly SYM
pathy upon the increasing material prosperity
and the still more important evidences of intellec
tual and political development of the British
Provinces, and by every means compatible with
our national dignity to cement the bonds offriend
ship that unite us and those who, now our neigh.
bors, may ere long be our brethren and fellow
citizens

Affairs In Mexico.

Two important DEGREES, says the Republic, have
recently been issued by Macmillan, one of them
extending for fifteen days, from the 29th Of No
vember, the time'in which the soldiers of Presi.
dent Juarez laying down their arms were to be
granted amnesty, and the other ordering gener-
oil draft for the army throughout Mexico. The
work of drafting the laws for the future govern
ment of the empire having been completed, the
fact was announced in an imperial order, and the
official journal was giving the statutes to the pub
lie in daily instalments. Immigrants are said to
be arriving in the country in large numbers, and
these arrivals Maximilian's friends adduce,
among many other things, as an evidence of in
creasing confidence in the durability of the EN-
pire. The United States Consul at Vera Cruz is
recognized by the imperial authorities, his status
happening by some oversight not to have been af-
fected by the provisions of law which is supposed
to have been enacted purposely to exclude our
representatives,.

The Presidents Views.

On Tuesday last, the President, in reply to q
resolution of the Senate of the 18th instant COM
municated message to that body stating that
the rebellion, waged by portion of the people
against the properly constituted authorities OF
the Government, has been suppressed, and that
the United States are in possession of every State
in which the instruction existed, and that, as
far as could be done, the courts of the United
States have been restored, the post-offces re-es-
tablished and steps taken to put into efficient
ton the revenue tax of the country. He adds:
"From all the information in my possession
and from that which have recently received from
the most reliable authority. am induced to cher
ish the belief that sectional animosity is surely
and rapidly merging itself into spirit of nation
atty, and that representation, connected with a
properly adjusted system of taxation, will result
in harmonious restoration of the relations Of the
States to the National Union.'

The Contrast.

Texan editor, on his travels, writes graphic,
and very in teresting letter to the Galveston News
from which we extract the following paragraph:
Morning on The Miss issippi The sun is glorious,
as tn e little white fog feeces drank up by his
beams. Look out upon the stately mansions. the
great piles of gar mills and the villages of white
cottages where the slave resided and grew sleek and
happy. Where is he now I look in vain for the
long lines of the cheerful darkies streaming out t
this hour of the morning, singing the choral chant
that once spoke of their careless happiness. The
fields are full of weeds-no smoke from the quarters
and the doors are shut Whittier have they gene?
All Is silence and desoation. What mean those sol
itary chimney STACKS those half fallen walls of brick
the rugged shrubbery and fenceless gardenss All
the destroyer has been here. The slave has had his
shackes stricken fl, and he has gone forth to free
dom-xGkedness and death. The torch has swept hi;
masters house, but not by his hand applied, yet by
his holy liberator. His masters family driven into
exile and want; his home and associations broker
up and he introduced, with haeujahs, to starvation
and wretchedness This sunshine only mocks the
ruin on those once happy shores.

Gen. Grants Views.

In Gen'l. Grants report, submitted to the SEN
ate by the President, he briefly reviews his tour
of inspection throughout the South, and states he
is satisfied the mass of thinking men in the South
accept the present situation of affairs in good
faith. He says he was pleased to find that the
leading men whom he met accepted the decision
arrived at as final. He says that his observation
led him to the conclusion that the citizens of the
Southern States are anxious to return TO self-gov
eminent within the Union as soon as possible
and that willis: reconstructing they want and re-
quire protection from the Government.
The report is very interesting, and Furnished
many favorable facts in regard to the condition
of affairs in the Southern States, and shows
throughout friendly feeling towards the South

The True Policy of Virginia.

In the report of j. W. Garrett, the President
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, he says:
ssThe Baltimore and Ohio Company has in
creased its equipment to about three hundred
locomotives and four thousand cars. Its capacity
for business is now far beyond the ability Of lines
working in connection with it to dispose of the
vast quantities of freight it brings to Baltimore.
At this time than seventy-fve trains daily of
passengers and freight pass over the main stem
of the Baltimore and Ohio road upon the Balti-
more division. The power of the Company, by
its large additions of double track, and in
crease of facilities and equipment, with its ad-
di'onal branches, will be constantly enlarged.
The direct outlets for this vast accumulation of
traffic must follow"
Ponder it-thnk of it-300 loo omotives, 1000
cars, and more than rs trains daily! Consider
the east business done upon that road, remember
that Baltimore wished to run the road through
this populous Valley, teeming with productions,
thirty years ago, and admire the cisdom of the
''dog- I'M the manager" policy adopted by the Leg
islators of Virginia of that time Will Virgin
la continue to act thus blindly, or will she well
come the construction of railroads and canals
through the State, it matters not by whom p
We hope that our Legislators will take a
practical view of this subject, and encourage
others to invest largely in the construc-
ton Of improvements in this State. We would
like to see railroads running in all directions
throughout Virginias and would be glad to see
them made by other peoples caIital Virginia
can protect herself by prescribing the conditions
upon which she may grant the privileges to con-
struct them. Let the roads and canals be built.

Golden Opportunity Lost.

We concur with the Richmond Whig in The
opinion that, if Congress had made the admission
Of the Southern Representatives the first measure
of the session, ''nothing would have tended SC
much to blot out all unpleasant memories of the
war, to remove all causes of alienation between
the two sections, and to bind the South to the
North in the bonds of confidence and brotherhood
1t would, indeed, have presented sublime spec
tace, and would thenceforward have been marked
as an august epoch in the history of the United
States 1t would also have exhibited us to the
world as a nation, one and undivided, that no en-
envy or combination of enemies would dare to as.
sail or question. As it is, however, the news
goes abroad that, in contemplation of Congress
the pacifcaton of the country is but half finished
and that the Government has still domestic enc
my to deal with

We trust the South will pursue calm, prudent

We trust the South will pursue calm, prudent
course; emitting no duty, and assailing no preju-
dice, if avoidance be possible, consistently with
honor. This implies no exhibition of mean ser.
Witty, no abnegation of our ssmanhood u Il
called on to elect officials of any grade, let us
elect good and competent men--not in any spirit
of bravado, but quietly and with dignity, and
from a sense of duty. If called on to frame laws
let us frame them wisely and justly for the like
reason and in like manner. Let us be careful te
act in the right temper. The great secret of ami
cable relations, lies not much in Ohat is said
done. 1t is the manner, more than the matter
that carries the sting and rouses the passions
He who acts conscientiously, and in good temper,
will rarely excite enmity, though he may encoun-
ter opposition. If our officials thus elected, are
not allowed to act if our laws, thus passed, are
annuled or suspended by military power. that is
not fault or responsibility. We, at least, are
clear of wrong. We would not be, if we perform
trary to our best judgment.
In these days of popular passion and injustice
which we are powerless to resist, and which
nothing but time can allay, let US heed the admo-
milton, to possess souls in patience, to be dis
Greet and upright in what we do, and inoffensive
in the manner of doing it to be wise as serpents
and harmless as doves. So much is our policy
and our duty. We trust the North will not delay
to learn its own, and that its. reason will soon
make it ashamed to demand sacrifices to its mere
passion.-Sentinel.

The Secretary of the Treasury officially &C
knowledges that he has appointed officers who
have not subscribed to the test oath, having failed
to obtain those who could be relied on for the per-
Torrance of the revenue duties required. as near
ly every man in the South fit for revenue officer
was at some time either engaged in hostilities
against the Government or holding State or Con-
federate Offices, either willingly or unwilingly.-
The Secretary acted upon the presumption that
Congress would modify the oath and not subject
the South to the humiliation or the revenue sys-
tenn to the odium which would result from the
employment of Northern men as tax-gathers.
He suggests the necessity of immediate action up
on the subject
