The Sentinel, Gov. Worth's organ, reeking
as it does with disloyalty and hatred to the
Union, presumes to justify itself by appeal
ing to President johnson. That paper and
its partizans hold President Johnson's plan
of restoration in the utmost contempt
Mild, moderate. generous as it is, they will
not even carry that out. Why, the mover of
the resolution Hon. C. Clark to dissolve
the Convention, is himself a standing monu-
ment of opposition to the Presidents policy,
in that he was elected to Congress boasting
that he could not and would not take the
test oath, over gentleman who could take
it. President johnson has repeatedly de-
clared that the members elect to Congress
under his plan must be such as can take the
test oath; and he has also declared most en-
phatically, time and again, thatif there be but
fivethousand loyal persons in State, to them
must be confided the important work of res
toration. The President does not regard
either Gov. Worth, or the Sentinel, or Mr..
Clark as loyal. He declared last November,
that the election of Gov. Worth had greatly
damaged the work of restoration, and that
another step in that direction might prove
fatal. If the fatal step had not been already
taken, it certainly was taken by Gov Worth
and his friends on Thursday last, when they
attempted to dissolve loyal Convention of
the people of this State

THE PRESIDENTS POSITION.

The Presidents position is absolutely ta-
ken, well defined and universally understood
1t is this, namely That SO far and so fast as
the unrepresented States present themselves
in loyal attitude by representatives un-
questionably loyal, they are entitled to rep
resentation in Congress, equally with all 9th
er States, and just as well as if there had
been no rebellion. The representatives Of
the National Union party in Congress donot
agree with the President, but think they
differ only in regard to non-essentials.

GRsENsBoRo, N. c., Feb. 3, 1866.
DEAR PHOENIX: I reached this in.
teresting little town at 10 o'clock last
evening, and stopped at the Metro
poitan Hotel, where I have been
elegantly entertained by the agent,
MI. j. W. Mcdowell.
Greensboro is beautiful place,
containing about three thousand in
habitants, three churches and-stores.
There we're two fourishing Female
Colleges here, one q Presbyterian,
the other Methodist; the building
Of the latter was burnt several years
ago, but energetic efforts are being
made to rebuild, and we fondly hope
that both institutions will soon be in
q prosperous condition.
One of the most interesting estab-
lishments in this place is the publish
ing house of Messrs. Sterling &
Albright, who did good service for
their country in bringing out South
ern school books during the lato
cruel war; and for this and their
public enterprise they deserve the
gratitude and patronage of their
countrymen. The fourth reader in
their series of Southern readers is
very neatly gotten up, and we'll
bound. Its chapters are mostly ex-
tracts from Southern authors and
speakers, yet there is nothing of
sectional character in it.
By the way, I have been travelling
with Mr.. w. S. Hill, of the firm Of
Henry NJ. Morris, New York, who is
quite an accomplished gentleman, and
favorably known in this his native
State: He thinks that many of the
New York merchants are disposed to
favor our struggling Southern mer-
chants.
Before I leave this lovely place,
allow me to suggest that it would be
well for the proper authorities to move
the capital of this State to Green's
boro--it is more central than Raleigh,
and offers other advantages.

one, and which would sustain the
generous efforts Of the President in
the direction of reconciliation and
reconstruction, and so declared my
self openly and publicly. argue it
from history and from knowledge
OF human nature, and aienated some
old associates in doing so. It was the
clear dictate of interest IS well as of
reason, 1 thought. No one desired
more than 1 did to perpetuate the old
Union upon the basis of equal rights
to all sections and the inviolability of
the Const'tution. I felt with Mr.
Calhoun, that under the Constitution
1t was Government to love, honor
and serve. L deplored, though I ad-
mitted, the necessity under which the
South felt herself constrained to
move. Her fortunes were mine, and
/ was the last to abandon them. I
gloried in them. But that is all in
the past. I am again a citizen of the
United States, and it is due to that
Government, to which I had the
option of allegiance or not, (for I
might have emigrated,) that I give
1alJn1ul ana true service. It is my
Government and my country, and +
should do all in my power to promote
her prosperity, her honor, and her
name. 1 have entered upon that
work already in connection with the
restoration of the South. There is
no other power to divide allegiance
with. 1 give it wholly and freely or
not at all, and this I believe would
have been the sentiment of our en-
tire people, and will yet be their SEN
timent, if wisdom and prudence rule
the national councils. God grant that
the era Of good feeling may return,
and that speedily. Whatever may be
the fortunes of the South, they will
be mine, and yours, Messrs. Editors,
far all that are ours of family or pos
sessions are within her limits, and are
likely to remain so. Your obedient
servant, j. ID. b. DEBOW.

TIE MILITARY CoNrERENcEs.-A
despatch from Washington to the
New York Herald saws:

New York Herald says:
The conference of the senior major
generals of the regular army now pro
crossing here is causing the most ex-
tensive speculation as to the results
to be attained. Among the most
practicable theories yet advanced is
the supposition that these officers
have been summoned more to give
their united views concerning the
Southern country they have traversed,
and as to the necessity for garrisoning
the South with troops, than for q q
council touching the immediate af-
fairs OF the army. This proposition
is the more credible from the intro
duction and passage of a resolution
IN the Senate to-day, asking the Pre-
silent to transmit Major-General
Sherman's report of personal observa-
tions in the South. It is supposed
that Mr.: johnson is principally de-
sirous of obtaining the opinions of
the generals, and that Congress will
adhere to its original idea of deleeat-
ing subcommittee from the Joint
Reconstruction Committee to make a
trip of observation through the ex-
cluded States.

THE LOAN BnL.-A subcommittee

and Means, with Mr. Hooper ut its
head, have had an interview with
Secretary McCulloch in relation to
the loan bill, now under their con-
sideration but no new facts were
elected or conclusions for the future
arrived at. The general impression
is that the Secretary's recommends
tions will be i'll the main conformed
to, but that the bill will be re-drafted
as modified before its submission to
Congress. The Committee seem de-
cidedly opposed to comforting much
discretionary power on the Secretary
in the matter of negotiating loans or
changing forms of securities, and are
dissatisfied with his scheme for selling
portion of the bonds abroad. In
this it is also believed they reflect the
opinion OF a majority of the House
