STEAM AND CANvAs.-The decline Of sailing
power on the advance Of steam power on the
ocean is strongly manifested by the fact that
on Saturday twenty steamships left this
port-two Of them for Europe and eighteen tor
our own Southern ports, to aid In the work Of
reconstruction. II Is an evidence, also, Of the
way in which this country adapts itself to cir

Observation-Disclosures . Dugbear.

Observation-Disclosures . Dugbear.
One Of the wndmills which the Don Quixotss
of the South have been continually assaiiing,
assisted in the fight by the Sanchos Of the
North, has been the idea that there was danger
that the government Of the United States might
become centralized, and 50, despotic. II was
therefore necessary to assume and maintain
that the real sovereignty lay in the individual
States, and should be insisted upon. To this
end all sorts Of statements have been made,
and have found favor In the South, until the
doctrine began to be believed in, and men were
ever ready TO shed blood in maintaining it..
Even in the North there are some who have
gone so far as to assert that the FIRST treaty
of peace made between England and the United
States was made with every one Of the United
States as sovereign, independent nations, having
exclusive control and jurisdiction over their
affairs" This is what Q political orator
said, few nights since, ct . public meet
ing in New Jersey. Such q Perversion Of
history and fact surpasses anything In Inn
pudcnce that has yet been uttered from the
stump. But let us examine the pretence that
we are in danger from Capitalization, IL such
absurd statements are really anywhere credited
and acted upon.
There is not word of truth 10 the assertion
Capitalization cannot possibly take place al
Washington, for one plain and palpabls reason.
There is not and cannot Re, and never was,
any permanent succession Of centralized power
az tho seat Of government. The administration
Of power and the dispensation Of patronage
are too epheEeral p make any such policy
permanent and successful If even II were
attempted, Party changes IL ground tQ9

RAILROAD PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH-PRACTi-
CAL. RECONSTRUCTION. The work Of recon-
struction in the South is rapidly assuming
practical shape, more quickly, indeed, than per-
haps the most sanguine mind anticipated.
While Andy johnson is gradually extending his
humane policy towards the leading rebels, and
assuring delegations from the Southern States
that the government has no prejudices to In
dulge, no thirst for blood TO CRAFTY, that he
would rather pardon twenty than to refuse one
while these things are being done in Washing
ton the solid work Of commercial RECONSTRUCT
ton is going on in the South. The railroads
are being rebuilt and steamship lines estsb-
lished. Railroad communication between the
national capital, the Northern cities and the
States Of Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee is
now complete by way Of Alexandria, Knox
Vile and Lynchburg. Thus, while the Presi-
dent and the politicians Of the South are send
Ing Ideas into the desolated regions Of the late
rebellion, the railroads are carrying the COM
merce Of the North to restore prosperity
and bring comfort a. well as substantial sup
plies to the Southern people.
Ideas are very good In their way. Theories,
when based on a foundation upon which
sound structure can be raised, such as the ideas
and theories which Andy Johnson cnunciates,
are Invaluable at the present time but, after
all the fruits Of reconstruction are best seen in
the development Of commerce, the restoration
Of communication, and the return which they
involve TO the old relations between the North
and South. One railroad train or steamship
freighted with boots and shoes, dry goods,
beef and butter and the long-denied luxuries
which the South has been pinlng for during
tour years Of drought are worth oceans Of

WAR NEWS.

A Charlotte IN. c. paper, of Tuesday OF
l,st week, says that the Confederate troops
were concentrating at point few miles this
aide OF Columbia, and mentions report that
m the preceding Thursday and Friday General
Hill or Cheatham had attacked the rear OF
Gen. Sherman army aad captured 800 pris'
opers and number of wagons. Another
..yumor' was also brought to Charlotte by
refugees, and published in the Southern pa
pers, that cavalry fight took place on the
10Th instant, between Ridgway and Columbia:
in which the Union troops were driven back.
These reports are discredited in the Northern
papers.
The New York papers of yesterday contain
long details of the occupation OF Charleston
by the Union forces Mayor Macbeth re-
NAMED and made a formal surrender of the
CITY to the military authorities, which was
Immediately placed under martial law, Colonel
A. G.. Bennett, acting as Provost Marshall
The sale of liquors was prohibited and all
rice on hand placed in charge Of Hon. Wm
Aiken and other prominent citizens for distr-
button to the poor. 1t was believed that some
10000 bales of cotton were lying in places Of
conceament. The Courier office had been taken
possession OF.
Mobile advices of the 9th inst. indicate that
there is no intention of evacuatlng that city.
The garrison is being strengthened, and the
force there is said to be much larger than is
generally supposed. Beauregard was in
Mobile on the 4th of February, and inspected
the defences. He made speech to the people
in which he expressed conf lence that Mobile
would be successfully defended.
The news from Columbia corroborates the
kind treatment of the nhabit ants The Ursu
line Convent was protected by a guard. No
public property was allowed to be burned in the
city. Sherman headquarters were at Nick
erson's Hotel. The alarm in Charlotte has
subsidized. The weather is bad and the road
heavy, interfering with rapid military move
ments
An attempted raid by Confederate ex-
petition, to destroy the light boats at
Smiths Island, mouth of the Potomac, is
reported. The gunboats were shelling the
woods in the vicinity of Smiths Point Light
on Monday.
Gen. Joe Johnston assumed command OF
Beauregard' army last Thursday.
