federate army" Il adds, what we are quite
prepared to believe that the greater part Of
those who are known as Rebel leaders" are,
privately, advocates of action, but abstain from
public demonstrations lest their motives and
the movement itself be exposed to misappre-
bension. Confrmatory evidence upon this
head Is furnished by the altered tone of the
writer's and politicians who persist in oppo-
sition. Their former insolence has been
dropped. They no longer dictate the course
IN he pursued as with authority. They are
now the suppliant parties, and the character
of their entreaties Indicates the consciousness
that the people will yield in spite of all ap-
peals to sectional hate and pride.
From talk the moderate men are proceed
ing to effort. Movements for convention are
aloot in Alabama: North Carolina is not many
steps behind; and in the Louisiana Senate,
where recently the mere mention ofooncession
was secuted, proposition for an address to
the people of the State, urging them to regis
ter themselves as voters under the Military
bill. has been introduced by Mr.. Kenner
Who Mr.. Kenner is, the New Orleans Times
tells. He is Zone of the largest shareholders"
in Louisiana. His bill, the Picayune states,
sets forth the result sat which the great
majority of the intelligent minds in the
State have arrived" What is this result 1t
is, in brief, that the notion of passive resist
doned that the agitation for carrying the
contest to the Supreme Court should be dis
countenanced as practically worthless, and as
tending to keep alive ill-feeling; and that the
people should forthwith accept the law as it
stands as an authority not to be appealed
from, and as the only available means OF per-
fecting the restoration of the Union.
These circumstances are entitled to atten-
ton at the hands of the Senators and mem
bers who are about to enter upon crusade at
the South in the interest of the Republican
party. They will commit serious mistake
if they adapt the tone of John Knox to Anne
rican politics, and scold the Southern people
as deserving the fire and birthstone of the
radical party. The Southern people are
enemies no more, and the apostleship that
will be of real service among them is that
which shall convince them of the good faith
of Congress i'll propounding the military
scheme as a finality. Senator Wilson, who,
we observe, has commenced his labors in Vir-
ginia, is a suitable draRt-coWeur. Pronounced,
earnest, consistent he is withal tolerant and
practical and if those who follow him share
his discretion, the effect of their expositons OF
Republican policy and opinion cannot be
otherwise than beneficial. One of our cores
pOndents the other day likened the zealots
OF the EXTREMIST faction to the pious Lindsey,
who tlOgged his child to death because it would
not, or could not, humble out its prayers.
Mr.. Sumner would fog the South to death il
it could not take the oath of his cOncocting
But this is not the temper in which they who
sincerely desire the reconstruction of the
South should attempt to approach its people

The appeals of Brown, Longstreet, Lee,
Patton, Hampton, and other prominent
southerners are producing marked impress
sion upon the press and people of the South.
The change which has come over the popular
heart within the last six months is marvellous.
When, last autumn, the Savannah Republican
and few other journals--less than half-a-
dozen all told-ventured to recommend the
ratification of the Constitutional amendment,
they spoke apologetically, with "bated breath
and whispering humbleness." The public
temper would not tolerate the idea of submis-
sion. 1t was proud, demonstrative, defiant.

"A correspondent informs us that Rev. DIR.
Tefft of this city delivered his lecture upon
"How to make the most of Maine" before the

with marked attention and evidently made a

The Eastport Sentinel says quite an ex-
tensive business is being done this winter by
the fishermen in the waters in that vicinity in
catching herrings with set nets, freezing them
and selling them to parties who are there
with vessels for the purpose of purchasing
them. The price paid is sixty-ive cents per
hundred fish. The fishermen make good wa

logs into the East Machias and Machias rivers,
employ some fifteen hundred men and eight

Machias Republican.
The Machias Republican says the lath
mills in that town will be kept running during
the winter. Quite a number of teams are en-
ployed in hauling small logs to the mills, which
are cut up into four feetlengths, and manufac-
tured into laths. A cord of this wood will
make about 1000 laths.

THE GOVERNORS ADDRESS IN THE Prov

lain In his address to the Legislature on the
Confederation project of the British Prov

from the Provincial press. The st. Croix
Courier says;
If the people of these Provinces desire CON-
federation we think Governor Chamberlain
may spare himself the trouble of meddlinp
with matter which does not come within the
range of his official duty.

Governor Chamberlain of Maine seems to
