to feed Northern radicalism in its unoonst

it is in -the power of the South, by publi

Be not deoeived by snoh ! The great bod
of the North marohes one way, under*th

way the war haB demonstrated as we bav

rebellion only to knook it down again,s

let not the South be disoonraged a

South, if the South will only promptly in

itself in the Sontbern journals and throngl
the voice of well-known Sontbern gentle
men. The South must haBten to place il
self above suspicion by all its publio acts

The time is short, for prejudices soon hard

THE CHARACTER, PbLICY AND INTENTIONS O
PRESIDENT JOHNSON.
"Above all, if their intentions are good
they must not despond, bat oheerily &n<
courageously they mast bear tbe thorns c
punishment^ though they bleed; re mem
bering always that the President of th
land is the President and father of thi
whole people, and that he is not the head c
a merciless and bar barons party, bent o<
Southern humiliation and destruction. W
believe him to be an able, sonnd-beaded
patient, patriotio, humane, firm, cautions
and candid man, whose heart's desire it i
to erowo his administration with the UDipi
of these States*-a' reward higher ant
brighter than any other within moralpowe
to confer; and he is shrewd eoongh to sei
through tricksters when their game is clear
ly before him, if it shall be exposed as
foul game by the undeviating loyalty of tbr
Sooth; and, furthermore, let the South b
assured, if they are patient and true, tha
behind the President there is a Northen
sentiment even stronger than her myriad
of resistless armies, and which is, that on
Union of consent and equality shall be res
tored on the basis of uni versal freedom am
of one over-ruling sovereign nationality.?
Let the Sooth instantly accept, and every
where declare, and politically aot upon thi
platform, and our glorious Union is aliv
again in all its original spirit Then thos
foul birds called demagogues will flee, for
time, at any rate, from before the face of
JNNtwakened and united nation, and w
shall indeed be one people. All our hope
rest with yon, men of the Sooth?in you

. THE SOUTH IE CONGRESS.
Prominent among the most earnest advo
oates of the humane and wisely polioy o
the President is the Worldy a New Yorl
paper of very large oirenlation and grca
influence at the North. Although the or
ganof the War Democrats during the civi
war, now It is aa able opponent of radical
ism, and a most usefgl and outspoken ft?en<
of the Southern people.
. For that reason we ask the attentive pe
rusal of the following extract from a luti
editorial in the World with reference t
the persoDB who should be sent to CoDgres
by the Southern people. The sincere well

wishers ot the ooatn at tne i>ortn aj 1 udh
in advising the line of policy marksd on
by the World. Let these extracts be tea*
and re-read by the people of the South :
"It depends, after all, mainly upon thi
people of the South, whether the Presiden
shall be defeated and humiliated, and thei
section be kept for a long period under tin
iron heel' of military authority. Thei
bearing is, thus far, admirable. But i
they should do anything, or allow anything
to be done, by?which the explosive and pas
eionate Radicals could rekindle public in
dignation in the North, and cause a re
action, their oondition will be sealed for ;
long time. . The President is powerles
against Congress, uoless supported by :
public set*tiu?ent too 'stroDg for Congress t
resist.
"The Soutb is, therefore, bound in self
protection, as well as by -every motive 0
duty and patriotism, to aid the Presiden
and their friends in the Axortn, dy me un
objectionable character of the men the;
elect to Congress and their nneqnivoca
eobmissiveness evinced in their State man
agement. If, immediately after re-organi
zation, they will get their State Legislature
together and ratify the pending Constitii
tional amendment, ttiey will thereby greatl1
aid their oause. As they all acquiesce ii
the destruction of slavery," there can be m
serious objection to their taking this aotion
which will finally shut the door against th<
aspersions of the Radicals on their sincer
"ity in submitting to emancipation, and pre
-vent the re-opening of doubts as to its con
stitutional validity. Their failure to do thi
would, of course, be no .reason for the re
jeetion of their representatives .to Congress
but the ratification of the amendment wouh
increase the moral power of the Presiden
and his control over the sobjeot.
"The most important thing cf all, in it
bearing on the difference between the Pree
ident and the Radicals, is the character c
the men eleoted by the South to represen
them in Congress. This is a not a subjec
for ingenius reasonings and hair-splittini
'distinctions. The South must face the facn

From the New York Times.
. The North and South?The Speech of
9 Hon. Thad. Stevens.
, There are a great many Southerners in
0 this city trying to make arrangements for a
resumption gf business. As a general thing,
their conduct is manly, frank gnd sensible,
p calculated to win the confidence and respect
of every generous and just oommnnity.?
.Nine in every ten of them have been utter3
}y ruined by the rebellion. Most of them
?f cast their fortunes into the struggle for a
- causa wbioh they belihved to be right, but
e wbioh they see. and acknowledge to have
e been fatally aqjl finally defeated. .They
have lost position, influence, property, cbilQ
dren, friends?everything which makes life
e desirable. Under such circumptanoes, weak)
men Bink down into abject despair, or drag
i, out the rest of their lives in the safe obs
scurity of foreign lands. The defeated
a Southerners meet their oalamity in a more
1 manly style. They show in their defeat, as
r they did in their straggle,?courage, des0
perate tenacity of. purpose, and that high
spirited readiness to meet all the responsia
bilities of their oonduot, which never fails
e to command the respect of the world.
e It may not seem wholly in keeping with
* this courageous temper, that quite a num0
ber of these persons, on reading the speech
8 of Hon. Thad.. Stevens, have abandoned
r i?: :?j
lUtill UUOIUCOS prujcoto AUU guuo -MUUiC^Vlia*
k coaraged. They. say they oannot faoe the
? desolation which bis plans propose for the
Sooth. They cannot pot their farms again
' in order, dlear them of their ipoutnbrances,
8 rebuild their mined dwellings, plant fresh
e crops and get a new start in life for their
e children and themselves, with the prospeot,
a at any moment, of seeing the whole swept
a away by rntbless confiscation. They cannot
e work with heart or hope while such s sword
8 is hanging over their heads.
? W.e oannot blame them for this feeling,
bat the fear out which it grows seems to ns
auite unwarranted. There is nothing either
in the past- conduct-or the present temper
of the North to justify the belief that any
* such policy as-that recommended 'oy Mr.
Stevens will be adopted. True,-Mr". S. is
1 a prominent and influential public man.?
1 His ripe age, his long experience in public
'* life, and his position as official leader in
* ^ie Hgn8Q of Representatives combine to
' give weight and importance to his views of
public affairs. Bat as a public man he belongs
rather to the past than the -future.?
' He is universally known to bo extreme in
2 all his views, sometimes to the verge of ec0
centricityj and while Congress and the
3 country always listen with attention and re"
speet to his expression of them, they are
e never allowed to shape, to any considerable
1 extent, the practical conduct of publio if-.
* fairs. Mr. Stevens insisted throughout the
last Congress that the Southern States and
s people should be treated as alien enemies;
t but Congress never ooncurred in his opinion, j
r Tn the Baltimore Convention he urged the
9 exclusion of delegates from every Southern
r State that had 'been. iD rebellion?but they
f were admitted by a vote of two to one. So
' we. venture to predict that if Mr. Stevens
- should introduce into Congress his last grand
. scheme for a sweeping confiscation of South
* era property, he will not get twenty Jive
x votes in its favor.
3 President Johnson's speech to the Southa
era delegation the other day, ought to re0
assure Southern men upon this point. His
authority is certainly quite as high as that
' of Mr. Stevens, and bis influence upon the
^ course of legislation will be ten fold greater.
* He assures the South, in the most ezplioit
- an? emphatic terms, that they will not be
J persecuted nor treated harshly?that their
1 welfare will be consulted?that their past
' sufferings have atoned for their past offences
*' ?that we regard them as members of the
8 same great family, alienated and betrayed
* j into fearful crimes for a time, but still
f bound to us by ties of affection and to be
1 trusted and cherished upon their return to
3 the authority they have tried to overthrow.
t This is the language of a generous and
3 magnanimous statesmanship, and it finds an
* echo in the national heart The people of
- the North are not revengeful. They have
* never bated the South. Even intbb midst
8 of the war they have cherished hindly sen
timents toward the people they were com>
L polled to fight; and now that the war is
a over, they have no thought or wish to crusn
' a fallen foe. For they know perfectly well
that the people of the South moat come to
b be their friends,?that as the nation is one,
u so have all its people a common welfare,?
>f only to be secured by oommon sentiments
t of respect and of mutual regard. Nobody
t anywhere, who has any just conception of
g the duties and necessities of the immediate
(. j future, dreams of stripping the already imit*!
poverished people of theJSoutb, as a means
e of promotin^an'd building.up the prosperil,
j ty of the nation. The great mass of the
r, Northern people, without regard to party,
ir; will sustain, heartily and vigofously, the
& policy of the President. They went into
i.t the w^r reluctantly, but they have fought it
ft out victoriously j and they accept the cxtirpation
of slavery, the perpetuation of the
d Union, the increased" consideration and rets
speot which we enjoy abroad, and the self:
reliunoe and courage whioh it has developed
iO at home, as an equivalent for the sufferings,
r.1 burdens and sacrifices it has involved. And
much V we detest their cause, we have n<
reason to be ashamed of the manner ii
which the people of the Sooth evinced thei:
dovotion to it. Their courage, their devo
tion, their readiness to saerifioe everything
dear to them in its behalf, do honor to thi
American name.
We trnst the people o( the Soath wil
prosecute, with eontinned energy and oonfi
denoe, .their efforts to renew the prosperity
of the Southern States. Let them heed th<
President's warning and pay no regard U
speeches that may seem to breathe a spiny
of hatred, and revenge. They have- tbeii
fate in their own hands. If they will. tak<
hold promptly and properly of the task the
awaits them^appreoiate aright the new re
lations, politioal, industrial and social j whiol
the war has brought about, and aot witi
wise reference to the. necessities which thos<
ohanged delations have created, they ear
easily disarm all distract and oommand thi
hearty and effective sympathy of all. thi
people in the Northern States.

Remarkable Affair in a Church.?
Considerable exoitement has arisen in Jer
sey City in consequence of groans, yells and
unearthly sounds said to emenate from a
church in the upper part of Jersey City for
; some nights past. The first known of these
myaterious sounds was some ten days sinoe,
when the pastor had oooasion to return tc
the ohurch after evening servioes to procure
some manuscript which he bad forgotten
and had ocoasiou to make use of. The edifice
had been closed for the Dight, and war
in total darkness.

him along the aisle; and when approaching
the altar at the rear, his attention was at.
tracted by.a low moaning sound, wbioh
gradually increased and at the same time
drew nearer to him. To this he at first paid
no heed, presuming it to be the antios oi
miecbievoas boys; bat presently the sounds
changed to seemingly unearthly yells,
shrieks and groans, from innumerable invisible
beings oluBtgring around in close
.proximity to his person, until finally bis
feelings were so wrought upon that he felt
impelled to leave the building with all possible
haste. The above are substantially
the facts of the oase as stated by the pastoi
of the church to Chief of Police MoManue
after reports were beginning to be circulated
in the neighborhood that the ohuroh was
hannted, and requesting that the matter
might be kept as quiet as possible, believing
that in a few days at furthest he
would bo able to unravel the myptery and
satisfactorily explain the cause of the Bounds.
Since that time the oburoh edifice has been
thoroughly examined, inside and out, bu(
without unravelling the mystery; and mean%
31 time thesedismaland unearthly yellsand
> ones tire heard almost every night. A
r conpleof nights Jinoe, Chief of Polioe Mo
Mannas, accompanied by Aid Doyle and
5 Detective E. L. McWillliams, determined

They aooordingly^rocured 'the keysand i
1 entered the edifice, shortly after midnight. _ i
"Taking their position in the oentre of 1
the ohnreh in totil daidchess, they had re- i
mained there bat'a short tame when they I
beard a low moaning sound, apparently pro- i
oeeding from the vioinity of the pulpit,
which gradually grew louderand came nearer
until it finally culminated around their i
heads into howls, yeHs^frgroans, &o., and >
then gradually died away as it came. Af- 1
tor a few moments of pacfeot silenoe, Chief i
MoMantius drew f?m his pocket a revolver;
loaded with blank cartridges, and fired t
one obarge, when, almoet instantly jBe edifice

retreat, apparently pursued by the infuriated

and looked. The officers. then crossed the
street to tfee eppiote walk, -and remained >|
there until daylight, bat heard no farther

would tend to explain the mystery. The .1

unless the Congress of the riaiion will .

WHEREAS, it la represented that In many portions or
be State there is great disturbance and apprehensions
pom lawless persons, who are thieving, mauradlng end
oramluing-acts of violence remote from military garrisons
tatloned at the Court-Houses t and whereas, Brigadier
leneral AMES, commanding the Northwestern portion of
he State, has suggested the organization of a mllltla poIce
force In each District of his command, to act In Conert
with his forces In preserving order and peace in the
ommunlty; and whereas, It Is supposed that other miliary
commanders will have no objections to the aid and
sslstance on the part of the citizens In suppressing orime V
rttl maintaining order ; and whereas, it also appears that It
'resident JOHNSON has sanctioned and authorized the
'rovlsional Governor of Mississippi to organize a similar at
sree In that State, and bos forbidden the military authorlies
there to Interfere with such.organization: m
Now, therefore, I, BENJAMIN' FRANKLIN PERRY,,
'rovlsional Governor of the State of South Carolina, do
roclalm. order and declare, that there shall be formed and
tganlzed in each JqcHcJiflDistrict qneor mqre militia comanles
for a home police, to act under tind be auxiliary to ~
ie military garrison of such District In preventing crimes 1
nd preserving the peace of the District The companies 3
rll) cqnslst or a Captain and three Lieutenants and eighty
ten, scattered over the District so as to be easily' ocean!- ,,
le from all points where any disturbance may occur? "
Vhen the companies are formed, they will report, through p
telr Captains, to the respective Brigadier-Generals com- _
landing In South Carolina, and to the Provost Marshals at
te respective Court Houses, and from them receive their ~|
rders. V/bcn arrests have been made, they will tprn the
Senders oyer to the civil authorities or bring them l>efore
