soldier and must obey orders:
Macmillan replied: Child, Sotoler

Should such bill pass the Congress, with
the iron-clad feature, while it will be the
duty of every man to register, simply to OBJ
tain the right to vote, it will be also the i'm
perative duty of every man to vote against a
onvention.-,Sentinel.
The above is the disunion programme, as
announced in the organ of Gov. Worth. The
same paper of subsequent date says the
manner of reconstruction provided by Con-
gress, I" is ofitself sufficient to throw reproach
and ridicule on the whole affair."" and then
appeals to the people to register their names,
and vote against Convention.
This, then, is the extent of the Union prin-
ciples of the Worth faction in this State. If
they cannot rule they are determined to ruin.
1t is to be regretted that any of this faction
should be allowed to vote. They are as
hostile to the Union, and as much bent on
its destruction as when they opposed it by
force on the field of battle.
We think our people will be able to recon-
struct the State, provided the recent act of
Congress is promptly carried out. If Gen.
Grant, or if the District Commander will at
once remove the great body of ofice-hOlders
in this State, including of course the Gov
ernor, and the various State corporations,
and will put loyal men in their places, our
loyal people will be able to reconstruct; but
if this should not be done, it is probable that
the disunionists will defeat reconstruction.

piercing look, which proves him to bea man

Lord Chatham said, in the British House
of Commons, in ITO:
"Power, aoithout right, is the most odious
and detestable object that can be offered to
the human Imagination. 1t is not only per
nicious to those who are subject to it, but il
leads to ats oaoae destruction"
So mote it be !-Sentinel.
The prayer of the Sentinel that the nation
al government may be destroyed, with moi
be answered. It not only has the power
but the right" to govern. 1t is ordained
of God," and they who resist it, or pray for
its destruction, are under the curse of God.
The prayers of some people ascend no
higher than their heads. To them the sky
is as brazen as their traitorous toreheads.

The correspondence, demanded by reso-
luton of Congress, in reference to the recon-
struction acts, was sent yesterday to the
House by the Secretary of War, and impor-
tant extracts are elsewhere printed. We
find that Mr.. Stanton, in May, issued cir
cular to the Military Commanders request
ing them to be prepared to suppress antici-
pated riots, and that Gen. Grants indorse-
ment gave merely general instructions to
take the necessary precautions. The inter
esting correspondence between Grant and
Sheridan shows that Grant had no intention
of reprimanding his subordinate for the re-
moval of Wells, and that Sheridan declared
that the result of Mr.. Stanbery's opinion was
defiant opposition to the Reconstruction law.
Gen. Grant instructed him to enforce his
own construction of the law until otherwise
ordered. This correspondence will set
tie the position OF some of our leading men,
and its publication is reinsurance to the
nation that justice will be done.-Neao York
Tribune.
We are glad to record the above. Gen.
Grant is heartily and thoroughly with the
loyalists OF the country. "One blast upon
has bugle horn is worth !" million "men."

oppose Convention in this State, are

The Sentinel at length opens on James u
Harris. 1t calls him a "blackbird,n and
says tho much attention has been maid him
by its leading friends. As long as that 40
per thought it could influence and use Mr.
Harris, it praised him. Finding that Mr.
81. is an infexible Republican, it now assails
and abuses him. Some months since Mr.
Pell offered to support Mr.. Harris for the
Convention in this County, if he would run
as an independent candidate" Mr.. Pen
has denied this, but he knew he f6bed when
he did it. Well, Mr.. Harris did not bite at
the bait. Next, MIR. Pell, not knowing what
to do with, or how to do without Mr.. Har-
ris, urged him to accept the post of Minister
to Hayti. Mr.. Harris did not bite at that
bait, and so Mr.. Pell, losing all patience,
rolls up his sleeves and pitches in to him."
James Fl. Harris will survive all this, and
will enjoy the confidence of the honest, re-
spectacle, and worthy portion of our people
long after Mr.. Pell with his disunion Sentinel
shall have been forgotten, or remembered
only as Wirz, Winder, Arnold, Booth, Suratt
and Burr are remembered.

the thanks due to the honorable members of
the Congress of the United States for the
passage of the Sherman act, which af-
fords to us situation to aid in the great
work of reconstruction, and therefore we
hope and look for a speedy return to the
Union, which we think would better the con-
dition of all and every man, and for making
us citizens, and for extending to US the priv
ilege of coming to the ballot-box, thereby
enabling US to aid and assist in the protec-
ton of ourselves by helping to choose our
own rulers and officers to be suitable men to
administer the government, to the best adj
vantage, to the interest of the loyal people
of the country
6. That we tender the thanks due to the
gentlemen, the members of the recent Con-
vention, which convened in the City of
Raleigh on the 9th of March last. Such
worthy gentlemen we shall always support,
for the measures and resolutions proposed
and passed by them in the said Convention,
have added much to the cause and interest of
the Union Republican party of the State, and
we further endorse the action of the Repub-
hcan State Executive Committee at its re-
cent session i'll calling a Convention of our
party to meet in Raleigh on the 4th of Sep

Convention will still do more good to the
same great cause.

The indian Peace Commission.

From the N, Y, Times.
The Indian Peace Commission, of which
Generals Sherman aud Harvey are members,
if it does not eventually succeed in satisfacto-
rily arranging a permanent peace with the
hostile Indian tribes, has accomplished some
good already. The Commission had an advan-
tage over all others which have preceded them
of late, in the fact that they were authorized
to offer to the various tribes some definite
terms, and to bind the Government to the
faithful fulflment of them. Other Commits
siOns have been sent out 'to investigate " and
while Indians were induced to come to their
councils by the offer of presents, consisting
mainly of guns and ammunition, finding that
the Commissioners in reality had no autho-
rity to do anything, they listened to the mes
sages from their ''great father" and then re-
turned to the plains to test their new guns
upon the first passing stage coach or emigrant
train.
General Sherman's Commission offers them
permanent homes, the means of securing a
livelihood, and an immediate prospect of i'm
proving their condition The Indians with
whom they have consulted have taken the
matter under consideration, and are to return
their answer at the council in November
They promised that meantime no depreda-
tions should be committed, and thus far they
have kept their word. Since that council we
have heard OF no outrages on either stage
coaches emigrants, railroads, or road stations.
Settlers have been undisturbed, and horses
and mules have been safe from "stampedes."
The Indians require but an ordinary amount
of civil treatment to make them behave rea-
sonably, and we doubt not that, if their
authority is sufficient, the Commission will
make friends of those tribes who have recently
been such an annoyance on the line of the
Pacific Railroad
Having put matters in trim for securing
mission is now Fastening further south to
hold grand council with the ArapahOes,
Cheyennes, Apaohes, Kiowas, and Conan

many promises, and are reported to be de-
