Resolutions declaring the principles Of
reconstruction; the jurisdiction Of Con.
gress over the whole subject; the illsgality
ofexisting governments 10 the rebel States,
and the exclusion Of such Illegal govern
ments from representation In Congress and
from voting on constitutional amendments
1. That in the work Of reconstruction It
Is important that no false step should be
taken interpreting obstacle or delay; but
that BY careful provisions we should make
haste 10 complete the work, 80 that the
unity of the Republic shall be secured on
permanent foundations, and fraternal rela-
tons shall be at once established among all
the people thereof.
3. That this end can be accomplished
only by the following, the guiding princi-
Plies of our institutions as declared by our
fathers when the Republic was formed, and
that any neglect or forgetfulness Of these
guiding principles must postpone the es-
tablishment of uni ion, justice, domestic
tranquility, the general welfare, and the
blessings Of liberty, which are the de-
clarcd objects of the Constitution, and,
therefore, must be the essential objects Of
reconstruction itself.
3. That this work Of reconstruction must
be conducted by Congress and under its
constant supervision; that under the Con-
stitution Congress is solemnly bound to as
sumo this responsibility, and that in the
performance of this duty it must see that
everywhere throughout the rebel commu-
mites loyalty is protected and advanced,
while the new governments are fashioned
according to the requirements of a Chris
tian commonwealth, so that order, tran
guilty, education, and human rights shall
prevail within their borders.
4. That, in determining what Is repub-
lcan form of government, Congress must
follow implicitly the definition supplied by
the Declaration of independence and in
the practical application Of this definition
1t must, after excluding all disloyal per-
sons, take care that new governments are
founded on the fundamental truths therein
contained: first, that all men are equal in
rights and, secondly, that all just govern
ment stands only on the consent of the
governed. rr. E,.1
5. That all proceedings with q view to
reconstruction originating in Executive
power are in the nature of usurpation ; that
this usurpation becomes especially often.
sive when it sets aside the fundamental
truths of our institutions; that it is shock.
ing to common sense when it undertakes
to derive new governments from that hos
tile population which has just been ell.
gagged in earnest rebellion, and that all
governments having such origin are neces,
sarily illegal and void.
6. That it is the duty of Congress to pro:
coed with the work Of reconstruction, and
10 this end it must assume jurisdiction Of
the States lately in rebellion, except sc
far as that jurisdiction may have been al
ready renowned; and it must recognize
only the loyal States, or those States
having legal and valid Legislatures, as en-
titled to representation in Congress or t
voice in the adoption of the constitutional
amendment. .....-- .....

ARREST OF DIR. WATSON BIZ THE MILL
TARY.-Thc killing of a negro in Rock
bridge by DR.. James Watson, one of the
most highly esteemed citizens of the coun-
ty, and his arrest, trial, and acquittal by
the civil authorities, have been heretofore
noticed in this paper. We now learn that
on Tuesday last DR.. Watson was arrested
for the same offence by Captain Cameron
of the United States army, assisted by
squad Of five soldiers, specially detailed
from Richmond by order of General Scho-
field, commanding the Department of Vir-
ginia. The Doctor was brought here in the
custody of Captain Cameron yesterday,
and this morning will 60 to Richmond.
The arrest was effected in the public
road, near the Natural Bridge, and the
Doctor was Immediately hurried off, haing
only allowed the privilege Of stopping at
his home for few moments to take leave
Of his weeping family. When first brought
here he was allowed to take quarters at
the Washington House, being closely
guarded. At nightfall, however, he was
conveyed to Camp Davis, the officer IN
charge of him giving ear to silly report
that an attempt at rescue would be made
during the night. No such idea, we feel
assured, was for moment contemplated
by any person in the city.
When the arrest of the Doctor became
known in his neighborhood, strong feel
ing Of Indignation at this wanton outrage
upon man who had been declared lnno-
cent of the crime with which he was
charged, by the courts Of his country, was
manifested, and many of his friends, to the
number probably of twenty five, assembled
together, and pursued the party having nm
in custody to the Rope ferry, with the de-
sign of retaining him. When their OBJ
iect became known, DR.. Watson firmly and
unhesitatingly assured them that it was
entirely against his wishes for them thus to
interfere, and that should they do so, and
take him from his captors, he would at
once, alone and unattended, proceed. 10
Richmond, and there surrender himself to
General Schofeld. 1t was his wish, he told
them, to let the matter take its course, and
to do nothing having !. tendency even 10
seeming resistance TO the arrest. AT ms
earnest remonstrance, therefore, his friends
abandoned their purpose, and no attempt
at rescue, which could have been easily
accomplished, was made.
Some of the Doctors friends here ad-
yised him to sue out writ of hdbedS cor
nus. but he declined to do so; but will
take this step at Richmond after he IS
placed in custody of General Schoteld.
This officer is said to be fair-minded and
lust man; and when the facts are properly
set before him we do not doubt but that
he will discharge the Doctor without the
intervention of the courts. In any event,
his discharge under the writ of habeas COR
p,Ls is certain, and his friends need have
no apprehension as to the issue.-Lynch-
burg Ne,cS, 9th.
