.Tkc South. Thorough Northern Spectacles.
.9. >Ok -
We have no patience with itinerant correspon
'' ,<ient?, yet that our readers may seo how wc are
Ticwed bv Northern men-at least such of them
?who travel among us and write letters back to
thoir papera-wo publish the following specimen.
This letter clearly exhibits decided sectional pre?
conceptions, whichimpari a-^?piritf f onfahmojs
to hie statements; white at tho same tune he showb
a disposition tb deal fairly with tho South aojaras
he is capablo of understanding us. Thc letteru
sent from Richmond to theN-X Times, um
So far, a correct opinion of " Southern feehng ,
itt almost an absoluto impossibility, for it is as
changeable as the coast tide, now running high
over tho ground of loyalty, and again roceding
to the dark ocean of treason. Much dependa
apon tho porson socking to develop it, Tor, aa
would naturally bo expected, thc peoplo hero arc
verw eoro on matters connected with the history
of tho past fiva ycar8,,aBd-Jhw.beanng.?n tho
preeent. Commence your inquiries with tho
word rebel, and ten to one you will find yourself
talking to a rebel: whde, if you use tho word
Confederate or Southerner, you will nearly al?
ways discover conservative opinions. Speak of
Mr. Sumner or Thad. Stevens, and you will bo
overwhelmed with an avalanche of expletives
denouncing thc whole North as blood-thirsty
violators of the Constitution: which, however, is
readily, changed to commendation, and advances
toward conciliation hy the mere mention of Pres
' ?dent Johnson and his beneficent, policy.' A
*' Bed Republican " is greeted herc with exhibi?
tions of disloyalty, engendered by dislike; but a
supporter of the President will lind buna fide evi?
dences of a contrary condition, and it ls most
always kindly received. President Lincoln's uamo
is rarely mentioned here, and I havc.ncvor heard
it brought forward in a disrespectful manner by a
sober man. The Emancipation Proclamation, thc
Freedmen's Bureau, and other concomitants of
the war, elicit various phases of wrath and praise,
but there is always a qualification of submission
to tho will of tho "powors that be." Gen. Grant
is respected with a respect different from that
which is rendered as homage to a successful man.,
for ho is considered a magnanimous conqueror,
who has been consistent in his magnanimity from
tho surrender of Leo up to tho present time.
Jeff. Davis and other leaders of tho rebellion arc
looked upon in a different light by different people;
but the desire for their unconditional pardon is
almost unanimous. Lee, Johnston and Stonewall
Jackson are loved by the entire people, and tho
latter is always spoken of as a truo representative
saan of the South. <<-?
Thc number of original Union men in Yirgiuia
is claimed to have heen large; but it is certain
that the number who stood out for their princi?
ples to tho bitter end was insignificant, and. did
not includo much of the State. It is haiti that
Virginia honestly tried to act the part of mediator
ni tho commencement of thc .struggle, and that
tho great majority of her citizens reluctantly loft
thc Union, when forced out by the iirst call for
troops. This samo statement is to be heard in
every Southern State east of tho Mississippi, cx
cept South Caroliua, and in all thoso States it will
be seen that thc simon pure Unionists aro hated,
more or less, by those who engaged in tho war.
All praise to tho staunch and true, though low
they are, who suffered for their principles, as the
Unionists in the South only have suffered, and it is
their great misfortune that they were not able to
keep control of their State governments. As
it is they have been set aside, and tho majority
who now have tho upper hand treat them with a
bitterness and rancor ot feeling which would
naturally lead an observer to the belief that they
aro criminals. But this treatment of Union men
is influenced more by personal enmity than any?
thing else, and has but little bearing* as regards
the principles of the victims. There are, most as?
suredly, those who aro inclined to prosecute
Union men on account of their loyalty, but they
are few in numbers, and are,. for the most part,
contemptible, hot-headed fanatics, who have but
a small influence. In short, the war men of thc
South are jealous of the native Union men because
they were not whipped with them, and the ma?
jority seem to have an idea that they were cra?
ven-hearted, when, in fact, it required more true
courage to breast the tide of public opinion than
to go with it.
It ie too much tho general inclination of tho
North to suppose that because a man has boen a
rebel, he is one now. Unwittingly, many good
men do violence to common humanity by such
hasty judgment. Because a man has lost a law?
suit, there is no reaeon why ho should not submit
to the decision of tho court. Although ho may
think that the decision is unjust, ho will, if ho is
not a fanatic, acquiesce, and grin and bear his
supposed wrongs. So it is in the South. All, ex?
cept the fanatics, aro obedient to thc will of tho
Government, and the overpowering decision of tho
arbitrament of arms. I do not pretend to say that
tho so-called principles of tho rebellion have been
whipped out of the minds of tho people, for such a
thing is impossible. Thoir conviction^ as to
right and wrong remain undisturbed, and
wul, until they go to their graves. Regard?
ing States Rights, I think that tho opinions enter?
tained by the thinking masses previous to the war
still predominate in their minds; but I do not
hesitate to predict that the majority are willing to
abandon them in the future as matters finally ad?
judicated by thc war, and that no attempt will
ever, again bo made, based on tho doctrine of se?
cession, for any object whatever. Regarding tho
freedman, the peoplo of tho South have tried, and
probably will continue to try, to secure aa much
power over them as they can, and in doing so will,
of course, resort to roundabout means, and per?
haps oppressive laws, therein following an exam?
ple prominently brought before them m the far?
fetched theorizing of the upholders of the territo?
rial theory. Nevertheless there is a liberal spirit,
generated by pity for the unfortunate freedmen,
which will always oppose itself against injustice
toward them, and attempt td advance and allevi?
ate their condition.
Regarding the rebellion tho*reconstructed; par
ticip-iJts seo nothing in it which they are ashamed
of, so far as mero fighting is concerned; but they
take pains to cover up and palliate tho dark spots j
of the record. Tho burning of Richmond, tho
disgraceful horrors of Andersonvillo, Bello Island
ana Libby Prison aro subjects rarely talked of,
and although there wus a generally expressed
sympathy throughout the wholo South for Wirz
when he was executed, it requires no great
amount of discernment to seo that, if tho execu?
tion har", not cast discredit upon their lost causo,
the pe plo would havo unanimously applauded
it. TLJ trial of Davis is particularly obnoxious
to them, because it will unearth tho shameful im?
becility and cruelty of their attompted govern?
ment. Thero is but little sympathy for him as a
man, but as tho representativo of their defuuci
Confederacy, they will dislike to see him held to
account for tho treason iu which they were par?
ticipants.
The fact that tho peoplo of tho South have, by
their failuro in what they aro pleased to style "tha
revolution," become criminals in the Bight of tho
law, is humiliating, and the natural sequence of
their criminality-application for pardon-is a
blow to their pride, from which they are slowly
xocovering. The anxiety to obtain pardons, how?
ever, is somewhat abated by the uncertain condi?
tion in which the Southern "States find themselves
since the meeting of Congress. Tho future, po?
litically speaking, of tho Sooth, is undoubtedly
clouded, and exerts an influence which is anything
but conducive to restoration, by fostering the
feeling of despondency produced by the termi?
nation of the war, attd thero aro many who seem
" to have lost all interest in public affairs. It is
"an ordinary thing here to hear men declaro that
they will never vote again. How long this feeling
will last. Ido not pretend to say, but certain it is
that it exit ts now.
None eave prejudiced and interested observers
will protend to deny the existence of a deep and
unconquered feeling of animosity-against tho
Government on the part of some of thu Southern
people. It is to be found in a certain class of
men. But thia disaffected and disloyal clement
does not comprise a large number of people, and
does include most of the '.bomb-proofs," and
exempts from active sorvico during tho war.
They are tho "fanatics" who do not submit to tho
decision.

Z HIRTY-NIWTH CONGRESS.
IK S?SATE-MONDAT, JAJTOABT 30.
In the Senato today, Mr. Wilson introduced ai
important bill for the organization of a onifortr
national militia throughout the country. *
Tides among other th*gs, for enrollinjj
ablo bodied citizens, and those who have'e
their intention of becoming such, between twon _
and forty-five, in all tho States and Territories"
any number or the wholo of whom may be called
out by tho President in case of foreign war or in?
surrection, to servo for 6ix. years or during the
continuance of hostilities; that each Congression?
al district shall have at least one organized regi?
ment of militia, and that the work of organizing
tho entire force Bhall be managed by a War De?
partment Bureau to bo created. Tho bill was re?
ferred to tho Military Committee. Petitions were
presented for equalization of soldiers' bounties,
and for abolition of all color distinctions. The
petition of the Colorado Congressional delegation,
asking admission, was also presented.
Resolutions were adopted appropriating ten
thousand dolkrs"tD pay tho Reconstruction Com?
mittee's expenses, calling on tho President for
Genera] Sherman's report of observation in the
South, and directing the Postal Committee to re?
port on tho propriety of the Postoffice Depart?
ment assuming control of tho telegraph lines
along tho principal mail rontcs. The Judiciary
Committee submitted a report declaring Hon.
John P. Stockton entitled to tho contested New
Jersev Beat in tho Senate, which was ordered to
be printed. A resolution to print fivo thousand
copies of tho report of tho Internal Revenue Com?
mission was introduced and referred. Tho re?
mainder of tho session was occupied in a con?
tinuation of the debate on tho bill to guarantee
thc civil rights of the freedmen, the qkestion
being on an amendment offered by Mr. Trumbull,
declaring thc negroes entitled to nil the rights
of citizenship. Several Senators spoke, but no
otc was tallen. 9
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES-JANUAT.'. 30.
In thc House of Representatives messages were
received from ibo President furnishing informa?
tion relativo to thc surrender of the rebel corsair
Shenandoc?i, and tho enlistment of ono hundred
days' troops. Bills were introduced and referre d
for the better organization of the navy and for a
phip canal to connect tho Mississippi and Lake
Michigan. A resolution to extend tho courtesy of
seats on thc iloor to ,00 members elect from Arkan?
sas was defeated, and one to print twenty thousand
copies of the Secretary of tho Interior's report
of the manufactures of tho country was adopted.
The Deficiency Appropriation bill for the current
year was reported frcin tho Appropriations Com?
mittee and mado the special order for next Tues?
day in Committee of tho Whole. Tho Reconstruc?
tion Committee's proposed constitutional amend?
ment to regulate taxation and Congressional rep?
resentation was again taken np, uud, after some
debate, Mr. stevens withdrew Iiis demand for a
vote on its adoption, and expressed the hope that
it would bu sent hack to tho committee without
inst mei ion.-, which disposition uf it was agreed to
by the House.
The resolution iustructing tho Claims Commit?
tee, until otherwise ordered, to reject all claims
presented to them of citizens of the lately rebel?
lious States for damages inflicted by thc army or
navy in the suppression of tho rebellion, was,
after discussion, adopted. A resolution was also
adopted instructing the Reconstruction Commit?
tee to consider tho propriety of submitting to tho
Stato Lcgislctercs, for adoption, a proposed com?
pact which i?rffFect provides that no ?state shall
ever secede from tho Union; that tho negroes
shall have thc samo rights before tbo courts and
tho samo privileges and protection for acquiring
and holding property as the whites, and that no
dobt contracted to aid tho rebellion shall ever be
Daid. Tho Senate bill to enlarge tho powers of the
Freedman's Bureau waa taken up and considered
for a short time. An effort was mado by the
members of the House to hold the first evoning
session of this Congress; but at tho hour for as?
sembling, half-past seven o'clock in thc evening,
there was such a slim attendanco that those pre?
sent agreed to adjourn without transacting any
business.
SENATE-JANUARY 31.
In tho Seriate to-day still another petition to al?
low negroes to voto was presented by Mr. SUMNER,
and Mr. LANE, of Kansas, r.rcsented ono from la?
dies of that State asking the same privilege for
white women. A bill regulating tho exercise of
the elective franchise in the District of Columbia
was introduced and referred to tho District Com?
mittee. It recognize? no color distinction in vot?
ers; requires, among other things, a residonce of
one year and registration two mouths before being
allowed to vote, and tho payment of ono dollar
I poll tax. A bill granting a million acres of public
land to a mining college in Nevada was also intro?
duced. Tho joint resolution of thanks to Vice
Admiral Farragut, his officers and men, was adopt?
ed unanimously.
Fivo thousand copies of the report of tho Rove
nuo Commission, recommending important amend?
ments to the revenue laws, wero ordered to bo
printed. A motion was mado, but, after some dis?
cussion, denied, to reconsider tho voto by which
the bill extending tho time for withdrawal of
goods from public warehouses was passed. The
discussion of tho bill to guarantee the freedmen
protection in their civil rights was then resumed
from thc previous day, and continued up to tho
adjournment, without a voto being taken, except
on turco or four proposed amendments, all of
which were defeated. Several Senators spoke,
tho debuto being principally on tho quesiion
whether negroes aro citizens, thc affirmative being
maintained by the Republicans, and tho negative
by thc Democrats.
HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES-JAN. 31.
Tho question in relation to tho Constitutional
Amendment wa? takon up und discussed. Mr.
Schenck proposed to apportion representatives ac?
cording to number of male citizens of tho Utiited
States over twenty-one years of ago who arc voters,
in tho proportion of o:? o representative for each
ono hundred and twenty-five thousand voters, re?
gardless of tho effect upon New York, whero half
tho foreigu population have never becu franchised;
upon Missouri, where half tho natives have been !
disfranchised for rebellion, and upon Massachu?
setts, whero half the population can never bo
franchised on account of sex. Schenck's amend?
ment was voted down at thc first opportunity, and
Thad'* proposition passed by tho requisito two-j
thirds vote.
Ponding tho question, Mr. Steven? mado an im- I
prcsdivc. remarkable und somewhat acrimonious
speech of forty minutes' duration in defence of
tue practice of amending the constitution:-"True,
we had boen informed by tho Ililli authority of a
puudit at tho other end of tho avenue that no
amendments were needed, but wo disagree with
him." Ho found fault gouerally with thc botched
work turned out by the lathers who framed our
Constitution, and invoked God to forbid that ho
should ever adopt tho sentiments of Raymond
and "tho mau at 1 ho other end of the avenue"
against repairing it. Referring to the Associated
Press despatch, purporting to givo the President's
views MU topics now before the Homso, Stevens an?
im adverted mi thc President's conduct with great
severity, ?ind said-1 "Such conduct on the part of
a British king a few years ago would havo cost
that king his head."
Mr. Ingersoll, of Illinois, a Republican, wanted
to know Thad's authority for crediting tho author?
ship of the press dispatch to the President, when
the sarcastic; old Radical replied that he really
could not divulge any of the secrets between tho
President und hiui**]f. Nearly every desk in tho
hall, except thvoc iu Mr. Stewns' immediate
vicinity, was vacated, andu black ring of members
formed around che impassioned old man. His
frequent allusions to "that niau at the other end
of the avenue" and his little friend from New
York, provoked laughter. Thad hopes the
amendment will be adopted by nineteen States,
and become part of tho organic law. Ho ignores tho
Southern States ?ts cloven dried up, shrivelled non?
entities. As t.i Andruw Johnson's endorsement,it
will make no sort of diff?rence whether ho adopts it
or not. it was very kiud of him, however, in view of
tho fact, that Congress would not auk him for it,
to send his views to them through the newspapers.
The old mau sat down, with bte lips compressed,
and awaited, bolt upright, thc result of tho voto.
Raymond and Hale laid their heans together and
labored with Republicans to vote against it. Green
Clay Smith implored McKee, while Judge Hale aud
Raymond supplicated Davis and Griswold lo stand
by tho President. Jeuckcsof RhodO Island, and
Eliot and Baldwin of Massachusetts, voted against
thc amendment on Sumner'* account. That dis?
tinguished gentleman is deeply disgusted at thu
passage of so conservative au instrument Tho
war between Stevens ?iud "tho mau" may be said
to have commenced.
Anew rule, prohibiting the nee of thu Hall for
other than legislative! purposes, religious services
or proceedings in which the mem burs m their olli
cial capacity shall lake part, was adopted. Tue
Military Committee were Instructed to report on
the propriety of paving eooimntathiii nf rations
for tuc in-riud of their coulilicmclit, lo all national
soldiers" wi io were imprisoned by the rebels. Bills
were passed to continue tho admission, free uf
duty, of lumber owned by Americans un thu St.
Jehu',; Uiver and i:s tributaries, sawed ur hewn
by them in the province of New Brunswick, ?nd
authorizing the Secretary of tho Treasury-io sell
such marine hospitals and revenue cuttore belong?
ing to the Government as he may deem expedient.
A bill to repeal all fishing bounties was offered.
A bill to prohibit tho restoration of American
registers to American vessels which during the
rebellion were placed under the protection of for
i reign flags was introduced, and, arter some debate,
?Waid over. Tho bill enlarging the powersof tho
n Freedmen's Bureau was a-ain takenup, and two
or three Democrats spoko against it. An evening
session was held, which was doj?ird to general
debate, nae member ep^kiiig-r?Mfc^yition of
tho. haste with, which proposcJBRplli^ocal
amendments are acted upon, and another in favor
of protection to home industry.
Other gontlomon made speeches on thaques
tione of the day, and the House adjourned.
