the best now and hencefsrth for the geod of
our fellow citizens. This forced Union may,
by wise management on the part Of the North,
grow yet to be Union of consent, and gradu
ally draw to itself the affections Of the best
class Of southern people. The worst class will
pretend II At once-but that will be of little
worth in the cause of real pacifcaticn.
After all we will, if admitted to full rights of
citizenship, be in no worse plight than ali the
people of the North. If the consciousness of
the right and power to secede, heretofore 30
pleasant. and the cause, it may as well be con-
f-ssed, OF some occasional arrogance on our part,
should be lost to US, we may console ou selves
with the reflection that it is equally lest TO the
people of New England and the North West
They have, in conquering us, laid down for
themselves also the law OF forced Union, by
which they must be bound. Demanding and
e1terting from us paramount obedience and al
iegiance to the Federal government, they have
necessarily pledged themselves to the same law.
We will still stand az equals in that regard, and
may come 10 consider it all fair enough. This
too is history, and being nearer at haHd and
more akin to our actual circumstances il better
worth than any history of other people and past
ages.
1t leads the mind, ever perverse and self
aggrandizing, 10 dreams Of the future glories Of
consolidated empire. Tkis, too, NAV prove q
fatal error, for the North and for U.s. There are
safer triumPhs entirely Consistent with the new
order OF things. Heslthful dreams, ronsecrated
by holier ambition. Dreams of nation rising
to heights Of glory, not by aggression and con
quest, but BY the peaceful arts and she dev elop-
mont Of its internal resources. Dreams OF a
people become again unanimous and happy
with all reveng4ful passions exercised forever
people virtusus and just to others, but rising
by she cultivation OF science and art and the
energies OF legitimate enterprise. Such q nation
as the frst napoleon would havs made of France
had the world given him liberty TO follow out
the ruling passion Of his soul Dreams of Q fu-
ture history, more lovely and more instructive,
We hope, than that Of al the sad, blind struggles

To SOUTHERN MES.-The duties of con-
science are SO peculiar and appropriate for each
mans own decisien, that we cannot presume to
advise regarding them in any manner whatever.
We are free, however. to express our own opin-
len. tha: others may consider of it.
With the capture of President Davis and his
cabinet, the dispersion of Congress without in
,ention or hope of rs-assembling. the imporsi-
bility of new elections conventions Of the
people, and the fin surrender of the last army
of the South under Gsn. Smith, the Southern
Confedsracy dies, and becomes extinct.
With it dies all obligations Of allie lsEiance-
Nothing remains to which allegiance may at
tach.
Each man is free in conscience, without loss
of dignity or sefrsspect, to take the cath of al
legiance TO the United States, provided he means
honorsbly to abide by il, live peaceably under
its government, and claim its protection 1t il
fair bargain, and be will not be justii ed ia any
mental reservations to the contrary. II he can
not take it honestly, he had better not take il
at all but transfer his allegiance, with his per-
son, family and property to some other govern
ment, so far as he may be able to do so.
We are satisfied that our single devotion to
the causs Of the Csnfederscy. during its e1s-
tence, has fulfilled all the obligations Of patriot
ism. With conscience clear Of offence, We
are willing to transfer that allegiance, SO left in
abeyance, to the government Of the United
States, and hope to observe IL quite IS faith
fully.

@ We suffer great Inconvenience at present
from the want of mails and courisrs. II is very
important at the same time that the people OF
the country should be kept advised Of every
thing which makes for their interest in the i'm
portant transitions which are taking place from
one system Of government to another and also
in the system of labor. They should know how
to act intelligently, and ADAPT themselves wise
ly to the inevitable order Of things For this
purpose we continue the publication of our pa
Pile This we do without any other inducement
than the desire Of being useful to people who
have all along, given US their confidence, and
looked to us for wise and deliberate counsel
Our fortunes are identified with theirs, and will
remain so. We have not asked any peculiar
favor. We think it just, that we should share
the fate of all who like ourselves have honestly
and consistently supported the Confederate
Cause whilst it had leg 10 stand upon. This
common sympathy is motive enough for US TO
advise them to such course will restore peace
and good order to distracted country, prevent
further effusion of blood. and work for the ul-
innate good of the innocent women and chill
dren. This can only be done by submission to
Federal authority, and cooperation with its
agents, without shrinking from any personal
consequences, on account of the past. Each
mans individual fate is very trifing affair 10
the public at large. His influence for good
whilst enabled to exercise it, is very important.
Hence we advise all our subscribers, in differ

GEN. REYSoLDs.-We learn from private
sources, that this officer in command Of the
Federal forces in this State, is disposed to do all
within the scope of bis authority to protect and
conciliate those citizens who may wish to return
to their homes, and peaceably submit TO the
Federal authority. We learned during the war
to respect Gen. Reynolds as a gentleman, and
officer disposed TO divtst the war AS far ss pcssi
ble Of its horrors, and abide by the rules OF
civilized warfare. We make no doubt that our
information is true, and all such persons will be
FREQ from military annoysnces.
Gen Reynolds has not the power TO condone
civil offences, or interfere with the conduct of
the L. S. Government in it's prosecutions for
sleged treason. 1t is not TO be expected Of him.
This remains with the President and the courts
We believe that Gen. Reynolds will do all he
can however, to induce coucilstory course,
and consistently with his duty to the govern
ment, to render the situation of those liable TO
prosecution. rs tolersble as possible We pre-
dict that Arkansas under his administration,

TuE evacuation of Charleston is folly
confirmed this morning. The scenes at
tending our occupation OF the place were
tragic enough. The rebels seemed in
cliued to initiate the Russians in the de-
struction of Moscow, and actually did set
Ere to and destroy a considerable portion
Of the city. 1t is not known how much
cotton they consumed, hut the amount is
supposed to be large. The svacuating
force has doubtless gone to Florence and
ere this have Joined the main army of
BeAuregsrd. Prom Sherman We hear moth.
Ing direct. 1t lie not likely that he viii
proceed further north than Columbia. He
is pow more exposed than before, and his
policy will be to shorten the distance be-
tween him and the coast. We incline 70
the opinion that Lee will send troops to
the CaroIiuas at every hazard. 1t is a
matter of the last necessity for his own
safety that the area of his supplies suffers
no further contraction. We shall expect
to see Sherman make base at Charleston,
next put the Florence railroad in order,
and then make new base at that place,
which is one hundred miles north of
Charleston. This will enable him to
raid the country north, east and
west of him for fifty miles or more,
and he will have bat little to fear from
Interruptions in his rear. His enemy, be-
ing deprived of railroads, cannot menace
his tanks aud must meet him 10 front. The
evident policy of the rebels is to become
as strong as possible right away, and get
. fight out of Sherman and whip him if
possible. Once secure in his position at
Florence, he can either fight or fall back to
Charleston, according as he thinks best.
We do not see but that be will then be
complete master of the situation. His
only danger is just now, by reason of q
sudden swOop of the rebels upon the Co.
lumbia wing of his army. If they let him
concentrate and establish himself at Flor
euce, their opportunity would seem to be
lost,

country is vigorous enough to survive this
Congress, but another like it would be
fatal. 1t adds that we are in little danger
of being subjected to such an ordeal.

knaVish legislation that is commended to

of the Internal Revenue Bill, now before
Congress, which proposes to exempt members
from the payment Of income tag on their So.
