The New York Watchmaa, DR..
Deems paper, says " President johnson
surely could not so stultify himself as to
carry out the provisions of that most
infamous re,''--meaning the civil
rights bill. What will the readers Of
the THatchman say to this? Do they
agree with that paper that the President
ought to set before the people the exam
pie of resisting one of the laws of the
land Distasteful as this law may be, it
is nevertheless the law. Is it at all COM
patible with good citizenship to disre-
gard law because we do not like it !?
It was just such course as this that
involved us in our present troubles
Will we ever learn wisdom?

The Sentinel says if the Southern
States are to be judged by the state
ments of Gov. Hamilton of Texas.
Gov. Holden of North Carolina, Gov.
Brownlow of Tennessee, and Gov. Pier
pont of Virginia" and by "such wit
nesses as Gems. Thomas, Custer, Grier-
son." then " we may look for nothing,
if God and the people do not interfere,
but chains, pooerty and ruin"
When did Gov. Holden ever propose
" "chains, poverty and ruiz" for North
Carolina? He served the President
and the State faithfully for seven months,
and did all he could to relieve and ben
eft our people without regard to party.
This will not be denied. If" chains.
poverty, and ruin" are in reserve for
our people; Gov. Fl. is not responsible
for it. No citizen of the State feels
more acutely than he does the present
unfortunate and unhappy condition of
our people, and he would do any thing,
or make any sacrifice to relieve them.
He has not changed. His views are
just what they were when he returned
from Washington in June last. He
has the same confidence in the Pres

domination, it is in disgusting taste, to
say the least of tit is inconsistency
it is cant. The meaning Of such Ian
guage is, that the future prosperity of
the South consists in honoring and pro-
noting themselves, just as a few years
since they thought the honor of the
South could only be maintained by fol-
lowing their lead and advice.
The Southern people might as well
make up their minds TO realization of
their true condition. If they continue
to allow themselves to be led, controll-
ed, and directed, by those who led and
eaioled them into the horrors of four
years bloody war, they cannot expect
to receive the confidence of conservative
men either North or South. The plot
ters and authors of disunion must rely
on nothing else than to retire from pub
lie view, and GO into obscurity. Their
country's good requires it. The men
who were denounced and ostracised for
iour years, because they would not
countenance the wild crusade Of disun-
ion, have right to expect their reward.
Public opinion has declared they were
right then. They are the true represen-
tative men of the reaction in the popu-
lar Judgment and the popular feeling.
Che position of the South is false and
Inconsistent one---one utterly unintelli-
giblc to the conservative men of the
North--as long as they profess to have
discovered the folly and madness of
their course in lS60-'61, and yet select
Us their representative men those who
were mainly instrumental in leading
them into error. Peace, quiet, content,
and satisfaction are not to be expected
to prevail with the true conservative
men of the South, as long as they see
honors, rewards, and high station con-
erred on the very men who denounced
ma abused them for their opposition to
secession and disunion. Those who
profess to be the true friends of Andrew
= Johnson must show their sincerity by
sustaining his policy. He has declared
time and again, in the most emphatic
terms, that the work Of restoration
must be performed by las friends, the
Enthusiastically" loyal men. He does
not object to the test-oath SO far as
members elect to Congress are concern
ed. On the contrary, his friends who
recently held meeting under his own
eve in Washington, have declared that
when members are sent who can take
this oath they ought to be admitted,
but not before. The secessionists and
latter-day war men, who are monopo-
iizing all the offices and honors in the
South. are with the President so far as
his controversy with "the radicals" " is
concerned. They support him in every
thing that chimes with their resent
ments and prejudices, but they are 81
lent and stubborn when called upon to
make sacrifices to carry out his plan IL
spirit as well as letter.

Twelve months have elapsed since
the rebellion was suppressed. After
war of four years, with alterations of
success and defeat, the Southern States
were overwhelmed by the national
forces. At the end of this period they
we're greatly reduced in every respect.
They were at the mercy of the govern
ment. They were incapable of further
resistance, even if disposed to offer it.
But they submitted. President John
son devised and put in operation his
just, benefcent, and constitutional plan
of restoration. He made certain con-
cessions to the conquered States, and he
required of them the performance of
certain duties. These duties were, first,
to abolish slavery secondly, to ignore
the rebel debt; thirdly, to declare their
acts of secession null and void; and as
incident to these, though he did not in
SO many words require it, he. expected
them to place the freedmen on the same
footing with the whites in all their nat
ural rights, such as, for instance, the
giving of testimony and the holding of
property and he took it for granted
that members would be elected to Con-
gress who could take the test oath.
Every thing which was absolutely
required of the States has been done.
Some Of them have neglected to place
the freedmen on the same footing with
the whites as to their natural rights !;

The Mobile Times says :

The Mobile 1tnaeS says:
aWhen the American people do make Lee
their President they will get an honest man,
brave cavalier, and gentleman for that ex-
allied post"
When are the American people going
to do that? IF the friends Of Gen. Lee
are not more prudent they may involve
him in trouble.

ident now that he had then. But
he fears that the country is beconl-
ing more and more sectionalized.---
He feels that invectlve and bitter abuse
are widening the breach. lie appre-
hends that the weaker section, having
greatly provoked the stronger, is in
more danger now than it has ever been
heretofore. 1t is useless to say how this
has been done. He is not disposed to
assail any one, or to impeach motives.
He would simply deal with things as
they are. We must go back to the be-
ginning, and do our first works over
again. We must cease to denounce,
abuse, and defy the Northern people
The great object IS to get back into the
Union. We should sacrifice every
thing to that. Gov. H. is Union man
under any and all circumstances, but he
can never be Indifferent to his State.
Heloves his State and her people. There
is not citizen within her limits whom
he would wilfully injure. He desires
the highest good Of his State, but he
feels that this desire is vain as long as
the present condition of things shall
continue.

Gov. GRAHAM AND GEN. CLINGMAN.-
These distinguished gentlemen were both in
our city on Saturday-and both seemed in
good health and spirits. We had the pleas

The Commission met and the journal of ycster-
day WIS read.
Gen. james G. Martin, fifth witness for the de-
fensc, was sworn. He WAS BrigadierG Generaldur-
ing the war-in September, 1864, he commanded
the Western district of North Carolina, and was
ordered by the Department at Richmond to furn-
ish guard of 1900 men at Salisbury, at the time
the large number of prisoners were sent there
This guard consisted in part of about HOO Senior
Reserves, brought first from their homes and to-
tally unskilled in military or guard duty, COM
manded byaofacers elected from among themselves
The order was from the War Department. Wit
ness went to Salisbury to organize this force the
best he could-found the supplies in the @. Ia.
and Com. Departments there very scarce. The
supplies from the country round had been sent to
Gen. Lees army-there were no tents or axes at
Salisbury, he was told, but afterward got about
six axes-the guard got no Q. NJ. stores and the
rations were scant.
Maj. Gee reported to witness for time after
the prisoners came, but the command of the pri-
son was soon turned over to Gen. Wnder, and
Maj. Gee then reported to him. Witness was at
Salisbury several times during the time he had
the guard there in charge-had frequent conversa-
tons with the accused in regard to the scarcity of
stores there and of the unitness of the place for
the large number of prisoners sent there. The
accused was in communication with the auihori-
ties at Richmond, urging that no more prisoners
be se'it to Salisbury, and complaining of the want
of accommodations for them--that there was no
lumber to enlarge the stockade nor to make shell
ter--eyery body complained of the scarcity around
there-the guard had no shelter, except what they
found in the Sheds and stables near by--witness
saw the telegrams of Maj. Gee to Richmond and
the answers-tkcse answers were to the effect
that an engineer would be sent to inspect the
prison. Witness came to Raleigh to get supplies
but could get none fresn the Confederate autfori-

MEssRs EDIToRs: = Laying aside our
hitherto besetting sin of political strife and
agitation, hope the people of North Caro-
lima and the South generally, will vie with
each other in the march of intellect, science
and improvement The field is wide enough
for ALL Commerce, the liberal arts, science,
agriculture, manufactures in this one State
invite the participation of all men-capi-
talists, mechanics, farmers, planters, mer-
chants and artisans. Let, then, the people
of the "Old North State" in their capacity
as citizens and land-holders assemble, as
some have done already, in public assem-
blies, and pass resolutions encouraging i'm
migration from the hills and valleys of the
North to our fair Southern land.
There may be many men in our midst who
will raise objections to this course of pro-
ceeding. But let me ask these men, are we
not men Of a common country. Do we not
believe the men of New York, Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Ohio and indeed New England,
are as energetic and economical, are just as
good neighbors and citizens, as are the
Swedes and Germans, the French or Hollan-
ders? Have not our hands, "once CORY

The Legislature of Tennessee has
passed the franchise bill. The vote in
the House was, yeas Al, nays Is. This
bill is very similar in character to the
federal test-oath. No person can vote
or hold office in Tennessee who took
part in the rebellion. If the provisions
of this bill be as stringent as the test
oath it is unjust to many Union men.
1t was opposed by good Union men,
but passed by a large majority. This
secures the permanent control Of Tennes-
see to Gov. Brownlow and his friends.
Stringent as this bill is, and unjust as
1t is to many Union men, it will not be
likely to injure the prospects of Tennes-
see for admission to her fall privileges
in the Union. 1t is supposed that the
members from that State, all of whom
can take the oath, will be admitted du-
ring the ensuing month.
We hear a great deal about adapt
ing ourselves to the situation "--of be-
ing "hopeful as to the future "---of the

foresaw our troubles, apd who warned

their course. But coming from those
