Their action, in the first steps, has, in overy case, been discrect, temperate nrad conservative, They have adopted the wise policy of interfering as little as. possible with those things which enter into the character, history and in stitutione of each State, which were es tablished in other times and are adapted to existing conditious. - In one direction they must build anew, and radic*ally, but in others they find the result of much valuable work, which only requires to be left alone. Belonging to the States which they have been appointed to tem porarily govern, tiese Provisional Gov. ernors have entered upon their dtdles with a knowledge of the people and of the local laws and necessities which is of the highest advantage to them, and the fruits of which have already appeared in their measures and messages. 'While unequivocally loyal ii every action and word, they do not unnecessarily stir up popular prejudices, or bear about the mien of conquerors. They all proclaim unflinchingly, however, that slavery. is totally and forever abolished, and aid energetically in the reconstruction of the new social state upon the basis of univer sal freedom. All the Provisional Governors of the States on this side of the Mississippi River have, moreover, the good fortune of being popular in their respective States. Governor Holden, of North Carolina; and Gov. Perry of South Caro lina are both gentlemen who have been leaders of the progressive party, and who have been widely known as men of iability and character ; while Gov. John. son, of Georgia; Gov. Parsons, of Ala bama and Gov. Sharkey, of Mississippi, iave long been recognized in their native States as men of unblemished reputa tion, of'high principle and of great ca picity. In the initial steps which these officers have taken, and in the others whioh they are about to take, lie the most difficult part of their work, and the most difficuli r part of the great labor of reconsti-uction. If they manage in the future with the discretion and justice which have charac terized their first movements, they will have reflected honor upon themselvea and done eminent service to their coun try. MosBY's MOvEMENTs.-Colonel J. S. Mosby left Alexandira on Thursday evening for his home in Warrenton. there to remain until further orders of the War Department. Such was the excited feelings, it is said, against him on the part of the citizens and soldiers, that his life was in danger while he remained in Alexandria, several persons, whom he had deeply wrouged during the war, having armed themselves to kill him. FATTTE M'MULLEN sF..KINGPAa Do.-Among the latest arrivals of Southerners in qqzest or pardon is Fay ette McMullen, of Virginia. He waa -one of the fiercest secessionist, but now claim, some merit for b~elonging to the reactionary party against Jefferson D~a vi,. MeMullen was formerly a member of the.United States Houseof Repreat tatives, and afterwards ina the rebel Con gres. *Tum TRAL, OF Jxa DAve,-The New York Evening Post has. reason to believe that the trial of Mr. ,Davis will noct commence until the trial of Captain Wett is closed.

Major General Terrpn, who has just t atrived in tlis city frim the Militvry. Di; vision of the Gulf, gives its some inform. 4 tion which will *correct an error that is -v ' :nerally, if not universally, prevalent t throughout the North. It is in rela' t tion to the removal of late Conft-derate d soldiers to Mexico, with tho intention of t taking part in the contest by which that -unfortunate country is still distracte.d. Being just from Shreveport where lie re. ceived the sirrinder of the bulk of Kir- t by Smith's army, and where he was t brought into contact with Confederates t of every rank, he is of course enabled to , speak advisedly. Instead of the seven or eight, thous tnd Missourians who are said ,to have accompanoiad Shelby .beyond the' Rio Grande, that otlicer was followed it jeems, by a scanty band oftw o hu'ndred. Their purpose, as well as their leader's, was to join not Maximilian, as has been reported, but Juarez and te liberal cause. Missourians' and men from se ceded States, will not exceed a few hun. dred in number, all told. Like the former, they iesigned to cast bheir swords into th scale against Maximil. ian, and the French. and Austrians con tingents by whom he is supported. This, he says, is the purpose of all con federates who hIs ve s6ught or may seek a hand in the m litaryalffairs of Mexico. Their motive in siding with tho liberal party is one of Cie resentments towards Louis Napoleon, who so grievously dis. appointed their hopes of intervention against the United States in the contest from which they have just emerged. - A partial revenge, they -now.think, is at. tainable by expelling his protege from t Mexican soil, and they will do their best to bring about such a result. Others 1 p omn this motive did not operate, t expressAd a willhmnes to go out of pare regard fAr the principle of the. Monroe doctrine, and thought that all inter lopers upon American soil ought to be driven off. Sterling Price is in Texas with his family, and entertains no idea of going to Mexido. It is- not improbable that he may return to Missouri at no distant day. General Monroe M. Parsons has also located in Texas for the purpose of practicing law. Gen. Churchill, who was captured originally at Arkansas Post, together w'th Buckndr1 Bragg %ad Beauregard, are in New Orleans-n'one of them thinking of removing perma nently from 'he Utiited States. Gen. eral Churchill expresses a wish to go to Europe to remain a limited time abroad. DREADFUi . DISASTER.-A dreadful disaster occurred oi Lake Huron on last Wednesday evening. The steam. boats Pewabic and Meteor, both running at full speed, the former going south ward and the latter northward, collided with a fearful crash. The Pewabie was completely stove in on one side, and so disabled that she sank in three or four minues after the collision, carrying down with her about one hundred peirsons She had on board from~ one hundred arid seventy-five to twro hud:W pssengers, about one hlfU of whoni were saved by the Meteor, which was very lit tl damn aged. It was scarcely dark at the time, and each of the boats hadl previousaly, been visible to persons on board of the other when they. were yet six mile, apart. Tsri M USTEING OUv Tor TRaooPj.

WADR HAMPTON'S TESTIMONY. - Wade Hatnpton, the noted cavalry 'offi. er, has been giving the people of his 3tate-South Carolina-some very good 6dvice. It will be remembered that on lie occasion of Johnston's surrender in 4orth Carolina, Hampton was intens y disgusted, and *:imuifested a <lisposi! lon to takn Ole whole Co'afederacy on iS shoilders, like a moderi Atlas, and Ight. the North on his own hook. lohnston paid no attention to him, how. wver, and Wade started off, with his le. rion, and did not surrender until Dick 'aylor gave up the ghost in the West. But Wade has at last come to terms, ind.talks sensibly, although his language astill tinctured with considerable bitter ness against the Government. He tells his late brethren to give tip the foolish iotion or expatriatipq themselves by smigrating to a foreign contry. He lays: "Myadvice to all may fellow-citlsons is this : they should devote their whole energies to the restoration of law and erder, the re-establishment of agricul ture and commerce, the promotion. of education, and the re-bulding of our cities and dwellings which have been laid in ashes. To accomplish these ob. jectA-the highest that patriotism can conceive-I recommend that, all who can do so'should take the oath of alle. giance to the United States Govern ment, so that they may participate in the restoration of civil governn'ent to our State." This is the best advice that we have yet heard froin a leading ex-rebel, and if the people of South Carolina consult their own interests they will certainly olb low it.--New York .Sun.
