For the Spectator.

The Rockingham Register of the 18th contains
the announcement of John F. Lewis, Esq, as q
candidate for Congress from this District. The
writer Of this previous to the war; differed wide
ly from Mr.. Lewis in political affinity and convic-
ton, but always admired the manly frankness Of
his character, and the sound judgment Of his mind.
1t is therefore with pleasure he has seen his an
nouncement. His anteeedents are such as to give
him prominence and influence in the councils Of
the nation and secure favors for his constituents
such as no man in the District could attain. II
is to be hoped, therefore, that with one accord,
the people OF the District will cast their sufrages
for Mr.. L. We desire to witness no contest. Let
the great fact that the people are anxious to at
test their loyalty to the Federal Constitution and
Government be declared in the election of Mr..
L. There can be no question to his eligibility,
no doubt in regard to the honesty of his charac-
ter, the clearness and vigor of his intellect, and
his devotion to the best interests Of the District
and the State. We must be practical. 1t is our
duty to ourselves, to the State, the country that
we do all within power to restore the Com
monwealth to its former civil government. and
march forward in the highway to prosperity and
greatness We believe Mr.. Lewis to be the most
suitable man, at this juncture of affairs whom the
people of the 9th District could send to Congress

alone, shall decide who shall be voters in each

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

Mr.. EDITOR IL suggest that a poll be opened
at the various PIecints in October next, for ths
Hon. A. H. H. Stuart, as the representative III
Congress Of this District. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Stuart does not desire to go to Congress, and
will not present himself as candidate; but |
cannot doubt that he will serve, if elected in this
manner. need not enlarge upon the various
reasons which recommend Mr.. Stuart to the voters
of the Dstrict-his talents, his experience, his ex
tensive acquaintance with the public men of the
country, his opposition to all the measures which
led to the late disastrous war, his sympathy for
his own people, point him out, above all others.

MISCELLANEOUS.
VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT UPON
RECONSTRUCTION.

Much interest is naturally felt as to the exact
views of President Johnson in the matter of re
construction. A recent speech of Genl Schenck,
therefore, at Chillicothe, Ohio in which he stated,
as is limited, by authority, the opinions of the Ex
ecutive, is peculiarly important We find the fol-
lowing sketch of General Schenck's remarks in
the CINCINNATI Gazette:
''The President might have held the rebeious
States in military subjection, as conquered peo-
pie, until satisfied of their entire loyalty, and un
til reinstated in their former positions by legisa-
tive action or he might have withdrawn the mill
tary force altogether and left them to exercise
their relations to the other States. From the
start there objections to each of these cour-
ses, and the President combined them, holding
military force over them at the same time that he
allowed them to reinstate their civil powers, and
begin again the exercise of their loyal functions
This latter privilege, however, was only ex-
pertinent, and the speaker assured his hearers
that President Johnson regarded it. Only ten
days ago, in a full and free interview with him,
the President said he regarded the local govern
ments set up in the rebellous States as temporary
experiments, simply to give the people an oppor-
tunity to show whether they will develop the right
spirit and policy necessary for full restoration
to their proper position in the Government. =
While regarding them as experiments he intends
that the military power of the Government shall
hold them in check SO that if they be found stray
ing back into rebellious ways the military will be
there to prevent them from again making the
trouble they have heretofore caused
''The President, in this conversation, referred
to the course that had just been pursued in refer
ence to the Richmond election, where the citz ems
manifested their rebelious spirit by electing to
Office the very men who had recently been in arms
against the Government. 1t was with his sanction
that the military authorities had set aside that
election, and he gave this as an example of what
might be expected in other cases of similar
kind"
'sDruid,"a Washington correspondent Of the
New York Ne,cs, unoer date of August 22d, COM
menting upon the speech of Gen. Schenck, denies
in positive terms the statements he makes in ref
erence to the policy of President Johnson. The
following is an extract from the letter of this
respondent:
81 know positively that in conversation with
eminent citizens of South Carolina, Florida Vir-
ginia and Kentucky, only few days ago, he ex-
pressed sentiments directly the reverse of those
stated by Schenck. l know positively that he
does believe in the honest loyalty of the people of
the South. know that he does not regard the
provisional Governments AZ o mere experiment.

A STANDING OPIN1oN.-It is standing opinion
of ours that coneiliatory policy on the part of
the Government will more thoroughly and perma-
nently accomplish the work of re-uniting and re-
storing to its former strength and glory our desc
late and dismembered country, than all other in
fuences combined. If we wish peaceful and
perpetu al Union, it is to the hearts Of the people
that appeals should be made, and it is alone in
their affections that the Government can find its
most solid foundation. Totouch those hearts and
win those affections, kind and gentle treatment is
indispensable. Let all in authority, and all out
of authority bear these simple and eternal truths
in mind and act upon them in their daily lives.
and the Government and the Union of, this great
and glorious country will be the Pharos Of the
world for ages yet to eome.-ReA Whg.

THE WIDOWS CHARGE AT HER
DAUGHTERS BRIDAL.

By MRS. sIGoURNRY.
Deal gent Iy, thou, whose hand has won
The young bird from the nest away,
Where careless meath vernal sun,
She gayly cai rolPd dsy by day;
The haunt is lone, the heart must grieve,
From whence her timid wing doth soar,
They rensive list, at hush of eve,
Yet hear her gushing song no more.
Deal gently with her; thou art dear
Beyond what vestal lips have told,
And like lamb, from fountain cl ear,
She turns confding to the fold;
Size round thy sweet, domestic bower
The wreaths OF cLangeless love shall twine;
W atch for thy sep at vesper hour,
And blend her holiest prayer with thine.
Deal gently thou, when far away
Mid stranger scenes her foot shall rove,
Nor let thy tecder cares ecay,
The soul of woman lives In love;
And shouldst thou, wondering, mark tear
Unconscious from her eyelid break,
Be pitiful, and soothe the fear,
That mans strong cart can he'er partake.
A mother yield her gem to thee,
On thy true breas' to spark e rare,
She places meath Thy househol tree
The dol cf her fondest care;
A nd by thy trust to be forgiven,
When judgment wakes in terror wild,
By ali thy treasured hopes of Heaven.
Deal gently with the widows child

A LITERARY PLACE.

Charlottesville is fairly entitled to be called the
literary centre of the South. There is first, the
University of Virginia, with its learned professors
on all sorts of subjects Then we have two large
Female Semnaries, where young ladies learn thir
ty or forty things ending in-ology. Then we
have some half dozen first class Academies for
boys Then several Select Schools. Then q
number of schools for the English branches And
then the whole coored population of all sexes and
agesis repeating from morning to night alb alb,
e-b eb, lib ID c-a-t cat dog dog, cup cup, &C.,
through all the varieties of the first lessons in or
biography. There are some four or five colored
schools, and little negro chaps darken every door
with primers in their hands. If we pass black
smith shop, we hear alb alb; if we peep into q
shoemaker's shop, it is alb alb; if we pass by
negro cabin in the suburbs of the town, we hear
the sound alb alb; if the cook goes out to suckls
her infant, it is al alb; the dining-room servant
washes up his dishes and plates, crying alb alb;
the hostler curries his horse, repeating alb alb;
Jerry blacks your boots, saying, with rapid
strokes, alb alb, a-5 alb, al alb !: the whole air is
resonant with alb alb. The little yellow boy who
sleeps in our chamber awoke us the other night
muttering in his dreams alb alb. Mr.. Greely has
stirred up thunder here. If you send a little ne
gro boy errand, he is spelling everything he
meets in one syllable. The little white boys look
at them wonderingly, and try to cork them. In
a month or so we expect to issue an evening edi-
ton of the Chronicle in monosyllable to increase
our neutrality-suspicious. pictorial, with tubs
and spades, and ants and COWS, and owls and bats

How TO KEEP BUTTER CooL.-A simple
mode of 6eeping butter in warm weather,
where ice is not handy, Is to iuvert a common
flower pot over the butter, with some water

ing the butter to become hard.

a correspondent of the Chicago JOsir'las,
writing from Nashville, under date of Jan
uary 7tb, says: @
Again We are having q mingled rain
ana snow storm but as military operations
In TINS vicinity have been entirely suspend
60, 1t viii net affect the statas in the least.
1 say military operations have been sus-
pended here but that is only because there
Is nothing to be done the rebels having
fed far into Alabama, whittier they ars
being followed by our gallant men. The
report now Is, that Hood has been order
ed bp JEFF. Davis TO proceed st once to
Tuscaloosa and reorgsnize to be ready for
any emergency. This looks ss if he was
not TO be superseded, as rebels hoped, and
Rs our men feared; for he Is the best prsc-
tical ally We have; let him do as he wishes
and he viii not be long in finishing" the
remains of his army. 1 yesterday met
General Whipple, Thomas Chief Of staff,
and asked him to give me an estimate of
Hoods present strength at is not be-
yond l5,000,n said he, "including cavalry,
artillery and infantry; he has lost 10000
in this State; he may be able to get 5000
more from Dick Taylor, Colonel Scott and
others but when he collects 10000 all
told, he viii have all the men in the State
Of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mis-
sissippi, exclusive of the militia, who
amount to nothing" expressed surprise
and told the General l had estimated the
force in those States at 10000. "That is
too high; when Hood collects &c, 900, he
will not be able to get another man"
I said Hood had been ordered to Tusca-
looss, Alabama, to be ready to meet any
emergency. This was the old capital of
the State, but Is now only country VIII
lage, and is nowhere near railroad, and
there is not even a pike leading to the
place. The bad state of the roads, Davis
and Hood thinks, will prevent pursuit;
and perhaps it will. But do they not
know that there is such a thing as making
an army eYscuste 8 place, though no force
within many miles Of it2 If
they have not learned this single military
truth, they will not be long ignorant of
its existence.
Hood will not only soon find that an
emergency exists to call him out of his re-
treat, but he will discover half 8 dozen
" emergencies of pressing nature. One
Will come from the direction of Mobile;
two or three frem the Mississippi; one
from ESstport; another from Florence,
and yet another from Decatur; so that he
will hardly be allowed to remain idle.
1t Is not proper now to speculate upon
tqe destination, in particular, Of all these
emergencies p suffice it to say, that with
in the next three months, and before cam
can be made practicable il Vir-
yinia, Mobile Selma, Montgomery and
Ga, win be in our hands; and
sll the nsvigable rivers leading into the
Gulf viii be pslrolled by our gunbosts;
and States south of North Carolina will be
cleared of rebels.
