How TO AVERT CONGREGATIONAL iroinian
who has the fear of Thaddeus Stevens before
his eyes, addressed a letter to Senator Wilson
asking him how confscation may be averted
The following is the reply;
Dear Sif:-You ask me in your note what
action is necessary on the part of the people of
the South to avert from them confscation. /
am sure the generous action of General Grant
and our other commanders towards the men in
arms against their country, the magnanimitv
of the nation, the liberal policy of Congress-
should satisfy you and the well disposed people
OF the rebel States that nothing win be done
for revenge, but everything for the enduring
peace OF the country. Nothing can bring con-
fiseation upon tho people of the rebel States
but the persistent folly and madness of their
people, and cannot believe that the body
OF their people will by their future
action bring confiscation upon themselves,
:" will suggest, my dear sir, a sure way for
your people to avert from themselves confsca-
ton, remove disabilities, restore law, order
peace and individual and national prosperity
and happiness. Let them abandon, at once
and forever, the ideas, principles and politics
of their lost cause, strive to conquer the preiu-
dices engendered by their rebellion and the
conflict they inaugurated. Let them accent
the results of the nations victory, the unity OF
che States the perpetuity of the republic the
emancipation and acknowledgements and citizen
shi vi tneT pohunlen, Vnelr equality OF rights
and privileges. Let them do this in spirit as
well as in form; let them establish schools for
the education of both races Let them encour-
age the freedmen to be thrifty and temperate,
to get homesteads and to engage in industries
In varied forms; let them develop the mighty
resources our heavenly Rather has given The
people of the sunny South, and cherish a mir ir
it of fraternity and love. Such action will in
spire affection, confidence, magnanimity: make
confiscaton an impossbility, cause disabilities
speedily to disappear, and bring down upon
them, their States and their corntry's bless
ines and benefits.
"Very truly your friend

character Of our adversafies is different
AT large meeting in Terry, Miss, a few
days since, Ex-Governor Brown said that .tbe
government Of the United States had acquired
the power, if it did not possess the right, t,
dictate terms of the readmission of the State,
into the Union. There is no eyading that
point" '
Last week the President assured several
gentlemen that he should promptly veto the
Reconstruction bill within twenty.four bour.
after he received it, but is now inclined TO give
his legal advisers more time, and, meanwhile
he denounces Congress. Tuesday morning he
told Democratic Congressman tn at he would
willingly resign his position as President
could he but enter the Senate again and meet
the leading Radicals in debate.
AT the Congressional Republican caucus on
Monday evening, Senator Wilson stated that
the election in Virginia would probably be
held i'll September, and the result world as.
tonish the nation. The majority which vir-
glnia would give would entitle her to rank
among the first of the Republican States

sue of July 9th: --+
Our kilograms bring us news of increased
Indian hostllities. The dangers are tbickenine
around the settlers out from the more tbicljy
settled portions of the Territories and States
Each threatening danger appeals to CONGRESS
to adopt some vigorous measures by which TO
end these difficulties, and give that protection
to the people of the West which It is their
right to claim. Whether our big generals are
dead or alive now remains in doubt. They are
not heard from any more. This campaign has
given them suffi ,ient glory; they possibly have
retired to the quiet of civil life. If they have
not, we should recommend that Congress take
steps Immediately to protect them from dan

On that occasion, the leading host, Mr.. Cyrus
