Charles w. Read.

The following appeared in the New
Orleans Picayune several days ago
1t affords us pleasure to transfer 1T tc
our columns as a deserved tribute to
a son of Mississippi, born and reared
in the county of Kinds. He was one
of the heroes of the war and has added
lustre to the State, which ought to be
proud of him. He is es modest and
gentle N peace and in the social circle
as he has shown himself to be daring
and enterprising in war.
We notice the arrival in this city OF
Capt. Charles w. Read, late of the
Confederate navy. Capt. Read is a
Mississippiau, and a graduate of the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis. He viii be remembered as
tn commander of the bark Tacony,
one of the prizes of the Florida, aud
who made so daring and destructive a
cruise off the coast of New England
in the summer of 1862 and also as the
commander of the steamer Webb, ut
the time she passed this city in the
effort to get to sea-. Capt. Read was
also an officer on board the ram Ar
kansas at the time sheran the gauntlet
of the Federal feet just above Vicks-
burg in 1852. At the time the fleet of
Admiral Farragut passed Forts Jack
son and St Philip, which resulted in
the capture of this city, Capt. Read
was second in command on the steam
er McRea. If there is anything in
daring deeds and perils passed worthy
of historic mention, then the record
of Capt. Read is secure.

The Georgia Petition

Georgia was fortunate in the selec-
ton Of counsel to represent her be
fore the Supreme Court. Whatever
may be the result of her application
for relief from the Military Bills, the
legal mind of the world will concur
in pronouncing her petition q mastery
effort ofintellect and a splendid display
of jurisprudentiai skill.
1t is simply a legal paper devoid of
the political and partizan element
which was so appropriately incorpo-
rated into the Mississippi bill. We
find in it no attempt to demonstrate
who was right and who was wrong in
the late sectional war. No attempt to
evade the responsibility which belongs
to the State in her collective capacity,
and to throw it upon a class of her
sons who represented her in field and
in council. No affectation of resent
ment towards tn Federal Government
because it did not more speedily extend
its mailnd hand n fs'prnfnctinn' To So
called ''loyal" citizens, over the graves
ofher fallen sons, and place upon her
neck the yoke of the conqueror. No
ignominious confession of guilt in be-
half of individual citizens, or of State.
None but the meanest of our former
adversaries have required such pros
tration of soul by a people who have
displayed the heroic virtues illustrated
by the South in the war, and with
whom they are to live henceforth I'M
der the eois of a common government.
None ofthese features mar the lustre
of the application made in behalf of
Georgia. For the sake of Mississippi,
we wish we could say as much for her.
She would not have asked a vindica-
ton of her course, or of any right, or
alleged right, which she exercised, or a
statement of the grounds other action
in the sectional struggle; but she might
reasonably have expected that the
truth of history would not have been
violated to her prejudice by those
who spoke in her name, and that her
cause would not have been presented
from the stand point of her late adver-
sarieS.

the States under the Constitution of the
United States, and pledge ourselves to sup

The Presidential Plans of Recon-
s~IruPtiOu.

1t has often been stated by our own
correspondents, and other writer's
that Mr. Johnson in the plan of Recon
struction, which he required to be fol.
lowed by the Confederate States after
the surrender of their armies, indie
penGently of the will of Congress, and
without consultation with that Depart
partment of the Government, pursued
the course which had been marked out
by his predecessor, Mr.. Lincoln. This
is incorrect. In the last message
which Mr.. Davis submitted to the
Confederate Congress, dated March
18th, 1865, the policy of Mr.. Lincoln
as defined in his memorable confer
ence with the Confederate Commits
sioners at Hampton Roads, was thus
stated /:
ut will further be remembered that
Mr.. Lincoln declared that the only
terms on which hostilities could cease
were those stated in his message of
December last, in which we were in
formed that in the event of our peni-
tent submission, he would temper JUS
tice with mercy, and that the question
achether are rould Be goperned as depen-
daRf territories, or permitted 10 hare a rep
reSentation in their CGngress, G one on
achich he could promise netting, BUT
WHICH WOULD BE DECIDED BY THEIR
CONGRESS AFTER OUR SUBMISSION HAD
BEEN Aee4dTED,"
Clearly, then, it wasfn the contem-
plation of Mr.. Lincoln to leave to
Congress the work of Reconstruction;
and his successor in acting indepen-
IDENTITY of that body, departed from the
line which the former had prescribed
for himself.
1t is far from our wish to censure
Mr.. johnson, or to question the puri-
ty of his motives, but it is now evident
that the peace of the country would
have been more speedily established
ifhe had convened Congress immedi-
ately after his Inauguration and sought
its cooperation in the task of Recon
struction. The adoption of a different
has retarded the work, and in
tensified the spirit of hostility to the
oppressed section. The measures
which he prescribed for acceptance by
the South, though not so g~rievous to
be borne as those which he is now exc
cutting by order of Congress, were no
less repugnant to the letter and spirit
Of the Constitution.
