speech of Mr.. Lincoln on reconstruc-
ton, delivered in Washington but few
days before his death We commend 1t
10 the consideration of that class who
are so bitterly assailing Mr.. John
son and his reconstruction. We pub

army, give hope OF righteous and
speedy peace, whose joyous expression
cannot be restrained
By these recent successes, the re in
arguration of the National Authority,
RECONSTRUCTION, which has had a
large share Of thought from the first, is
pressed much more closely upon our at
tention.
| have been shown 4 letter on this
subject. supposed to be an able one, in
which the writer expresses regret that
my mind has not been definitely fixed on
the question whether the seeded States,
so called, are in the Union or out OF it.
Whatever it may hereafter
become, that question is BAD as tbs
basis of a controversy, and good for
nothing at ALA MERELY PERNICI
Gus ABSTRACTION. We all agree
that the seceded States, so called. arc
ont of their proper practical relations
with the Union, and that the SOLE OBJ
JECr of the Government civil and Mill
tary in regard 10 those States, is to again
get them in that proper practical rela
ton. l believe 1T is net only possible
but in fact easier to do this without de
ciding, or even considering whether
these States have ever been out of the
Union, than with it. Finding themselves
safely AT HOME, it would bc utterly
immaterial whether they had ever been
abroad. Let us all JOIN in doing the
ACTS necessary to RESTORING the
proper practical relations between these
States and the Union, and each forever
AFTER indulge his own opinion wheth-

States from without INTO the Union, OF

BEST ROUTE TO New ORLl

BEST ROUTE TO New ORLEANS
A recent trip over more than fifteen
hundred miles of railroads, in the
South did not much attach us to that
mode of travel. The road beds, which
have had no thorough repairing for
many years, under the constant wear
Of the rebel Government, during the
war, are in most wretched condition;
the rolling stock is for the most part
old and pretty well worn out; and as
a consequence, the time made is very
slow. On the Lightning Express,
over the New Orleans and Great
Northern Railroad, which is probably
in the best condition of any of the
southern roads, the highest average
speed attained is fifteen miles per
hour. The slow time is, however, their
best recommendation, as otherwise
they would be very dangerous.
We advise all who can take the
time, and who have any regard for
safety to life and limb, to go to New
Orleans by the fine steamers which
leave Cairo and the Ohio river almost
daily. The Atlantic and Mississippi
Steamship Company are running
line of boats, leaving
Cairo every other day; nothing can
be more comfortable than trip to the
Sunny South on one of their steamers
at this season. ,..le...
