The Proprietors of this paper design to in.
crease its sig e. on the resumption OF regular
mail service in January next to more than dou.
'Lle its present dimensions. 1t will be similar
to the sheet issued before the war. They pro-.
pose further to spare no pains in making il
an interesting vehicle of intelligence. and in
every respect worthy Of the support and con.
fdence Of the people OF this and surrounding
Districts. Our terms for subscription will be
$500 per year, in currency, payable in advance.
Persons who desire to commence with the new
year should forward their names at once. We
find that many old subscribers, who we're in
arrears. expected the paper to be continued
to their address. This, under the present cir.
sumsiances, is unreasonable, and with our lin.
tied means impossible. We perform our obli.
cations to those who paid us in advance before
the destruction Of our Office, although the
Nancy then paid did US little or no service {;
and we send the paper to ssch others only who
have come forward aud subscribed under the
new terms.

Southern Restoration.

An Interview OF very importan!
character, as showing distinctly the ex
tent Of Presiden, Johnson's requirements
at the hands Of the States lately in re.
bellion preliminary TO recognizing them
as having fully resumed their loyalty took
place a, the Executive Mansion yesterday.
A delegation of members OF the North
Carolina Convention visited the President,
and one OF their number, Mr. Reed, gave
him synopsis Of what the Convent ton
had done, annulliug Of the secession or.
dinance, the prohibition OF slavery and
the reputation Of The rebel debt. In
conclusion Mr.. Reed made two reores,s
that the full reconcilement Of North
Carolina with the national gov ernment /
might he officially declared ana hat the
Congressional test oath might be repeal
ed. The President, in reply, congralula
ted the gentlemen on the progress their
State had made ana the spnit eyinceL
by their peops, but told them that some
thing remains yet to be done, and that
this is the adoption by the North Carroll,
na Legislature Of the slavery prohibition
amendment TO the national constitution.
This, the President said, !''is IN my iudg
ment, practically important 10 the sue.
cessful rest ration which is so much de.
sired by all" lie also informed the lel
ega.ion that Provisional Governor IIol
den will be again instructed to continue
TO act as Sta'e Executive until he shall
have been expressly relieved by orders
to that effect. 1t will he remembered
that in the States Of Mississippi and
South Caroliua, which some time since
elected Governor the Provisional Gov
ern"rs continue to exercise the executive
