A DEsBANDED VOLUNTEER.

The late interview between the Pres
ident and the Negro Delegation, head
ed by Fred. Douglass and G. 7. Dow
ling, is described by our old eorrespon-
dent in his most amusing vein. Posi-
bly, the description may be more hu-

that the Disbanded speaks the simple
truth when he says thatthe sentiments
of the President are not misrepresen-

Tho Radical Faction and the Radical
Press North and South.
Before the war the peace and harmony
of the country were continually disturbed
by radical faction and radical press,
North and South The Northern faction
weie the abolition radicals, and the South
ern faction were the fre-eating pro-slavery
secession radicals. The war cry of The aboli-
ton faction was, "no union with Shareholders"
with Yankee abolitionists" The journals and
newspapers Of these two sec onal and dis
union factions thus playedsino each others
hands, until the combustiblc political elements
oil the South were lighted up in the flames Of
the late terrible and bloody civil war;
For the preservation of the Union we have
had to fight the most formidable and tenacious
rebellion in the history of any people: re-
bellion entered into for the perpetuation and
expansion of slavery under separate govern
ment. That rebellion has been put down, and
In putting II down we have swept the cause Of
all its woes, the Institution of slavery, from the
face Of the land, and have rendered its rc-cstab-
lishment In any State impossible by an amend
ment Of the federal constitution. Under this con-
dition of things the masses Of the people, North
and South, are disposed to meet again in har-
mony under the Old flag, and gradually work
out the solution of the great problem Of the
future political and social status of the eman-
cpated black race in the reconstructed South
crn States.
But while honest men are crying "peac,,
peace" there Is no peace. The radical sboli-
ton faction, and the radical press Of the North,
are as clamorous now for the subsection Of the
South 10 the emancpatcd blacks a. they were
before the war for emancipation or disunion.
The Southern radical faction and their fire.
eating journals, on the other hand, are equally
furious against any fusion or reconciliation
with "the hated Yankees" In every possible
way they are laboring 10 keep alive the bitter
sectional enmiiies and revenges Of the war.
Thus at every point they are embarrassing
the generous efforts Of President Johnson to
shape their State legislation and public opinion
in harmony with his general plan Of restora-
ton. Thus upon every issue Of reconstruction
the Southern firceating radicals are furnishing
capital to the Northern abolition radicals, and
weakening the cause Of the South.
We would again call upon the sober, sensi-
BILE, thinking and responsible men Of the
Southern States TO take these hrc-csting scces-
sion radicals In hand, and turn them from
their career Of madness and folly; otherwise

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND TUE vETERAys.-In a
circular issued to the heads Of departments
the President wisely declares II to be semi
nently right and proper that the government Of
the United States should give earnest and sub
stantial evidence Of its jnst appreciation of the
services Of the patriotic men who, when the
life Of the nation was imperillod, entered the
army and navy to preserve the integrity Of the
Union, defend tho government and maintain
and perpetuate unimpaired its free institu-
tons" He therefore directs that In appoint
ments to Office in the Executive departments
preference shall be given to such meritorious
and honorably discharged soldiers and Sailors
particularly those who have been disabled by
wounds received or diseases contracted In the
line Of duty, a. may possess the proper quail
Acations. In this order the President has cx-
hibited his high appreciation Of the services Of
our veterans, and we hope II will be carried
out, both In letter and spirit II any Of his
Cabinet officers demur at II or refuse to put It
into execution, such contempt OF the Presidents
wishes should be promptly and decisively met

TIE AsrArIc CHOLERA AT HArlFAx.-The &C
counts given this morning OF the arrival of
the steamship England at Halifax, bound to
this port, with number of flial cases of
cholera on board dspels the hope created by
late news from Europe that the cholera had
halted in lis Western march, if it had not
made a relrogradc movement Communlca-
ton with the England had not been allowed
as we write this, but it is known that she had
on board some forty fatal cases of cholera
out OF one hundred and sixty persons attacked.
The whole number of passengers IS stated at
twelve hundred, an amount excessively large
at any tine, but particularly so when fearful
epidemic like that OF the Asialic cholera is
liable TO break out on board. Congress should
Immediately adopt measures prohibiting this
excessive overcrowding Of ocean steamers.
This precaution is necessary 10 prevent that
terrible loss Of life by shipwrcck which we are
obliged so frequently to chronicle, and il is
equally important that the same or more stlin-
gent regulations should be made to restrict
the number Of passengers, now that we have
evidence that the dreadful scourge has made
!.s appearance upon vessel packed with hui
man beings bound TO this country. Moreover,
this intelligence should spur our Health Com
missioners to renewed and vigorous efforts to
cleanse the city OF everything likely to en-
courage or to breed contagion. They have
done very well so far; let them 60 on in the
good work.
