If there waa any danger from au organi? zation of the citizens for .the purpose in? dicated, the military are there to suppress, on the first appearance, any move insur? rectionary m its character. One great ob? ject is. to induce the people to come forward in the defence of the State a?id Federal Governments. George Washington declared that the people, or the militia, was the arni of the Constitution or the arm of the United States, and as soon as it is practicable, the original design bf the Government should be resumed, under the principle of the great charter of freedom handed down to the people by the founders of the republic. The people must be trusted with their go? vernment, and, if trusted, my opinion is they will act in good faith, and restore their former Constitutional "relations with all the States composing the Union. The main object of Major-General Carl Schurz's mission to the South was to aid, as much as practicable, in carrying out the policy adopted by the Government to restore the States to their former relations with the Federal Government.' It is hoped Ach aid has been given. The proclamation au? thorizing the restoration of State Govern? ment requires the military to aid the Provi? sional Governor in the performance of his duties,' as prescribed in the proclamation^, and in no manner to interfere or throw im? pediments in the way of the consummation of the object of his appointment, at least without advising*the Government of the in? tended interference. ANDREY/*JOHNSON. . - _.,. + THE PoiirricTANu AND ";'RESIDENT- JOHN? SON'S CoAT-TAiii.-The politicians in the various States have for some time past been trying to catch hold of President Johnson's coat-tail. .* .They see him standing forth in bold relief, enjoying the confidence of the public and evejr"where endorsed by the masses. . Each side nas been trying to get hold of him, in order that it ' may reo?ive-the benefit of some of his popularity. The New Jersey Republicans tried it, but failed. Tho Democracy made a grab, "but took a look backwards and came short of their coveted priz?. The Republican? of Pennsylvania made a desperate effort to accomplish this point, but had to spend so much time over die schemes of Cameron and Forney thaf they, too, failed to. get hold the President's coat-tail. The Democracy ached to capture the prize, but sat down talking over the * 'car? dinal principles" until tho coat-tail of Mr. Johnson was far uut of their reach, and we dare say will be .rewarded with defeat at the iud lu. The Ohio and the Western party managers* all made a strong effort, but they, too, have .missed their mark.' The Maine Democracy came the nearest to accomplish* in g the. feat; but it was finally left io the deassa?rsia ?n c6&vcs$$?$*ji in tbi? State to -win the prize. They have taken a full, and strong hold of President Johnson's coat, are sow marching under hf3 guidance und Erotection, mueh to the grief of the Repub cans, who are mourning over the .skillful flank movement upon them which has, -ip effect, finished them in this State. Their organs are already weeping "'and mourning over their lost opportunities. No NATIONAL BANKS OV DEPO SUT TO BB * Ai/Sratoniziio.-Some backers of influence have, been attempting to get an authoriza? tion of -batiks of deposit, &e., under the National Banking Act. A decision will be rendered by the legal advisers of tho Trea? sury Department to the effect that no such banking institutions can be organized under the National Banking Act, and that all such monetary concerns must deposit the re? quired securities, as in-^be case of the Na? tional Banks in operation. - [New York World COLUMBIA. Saturday Horning, Sept?mber 16,1865. Hon. lt. A. V. I.e. The reader will lind iv curious but charac teraaf?te letter from Hon Henry A. Wsae in onr columns to-day. It will be read "With interest, not only as characteristic of the writer, but that his case is probably that ol' thousands more. The General feels that he should not sit quietly under the imputation of rebellion; disclaims any treason and re? bellion, and is prepared to justify his own and the course Of bis State, by a doe refer- - ence to tho universal principles of the Ame? rican people, ns defined and set forth in the trying times of 177ti. In conceding the^ fact of her conquest by the United States Government, the South admits her weak? ness, but iK.tiling more. She may also ad m\? her imprudence, in engaging -in the struggle with a power go infinitely beyond ber own. But she does not admit her offene? against right and justice and proper ss&c^?iy, ^?*?e?* admits her > offenes against any power. . There is not a man among us, engaged in the'war of secession, who is prepared to "yield one tittle of those . abstract principles, rights, privileges, f ran? ci ri ses o?* guarantees,- which made him sub? scribe tho act of secession. We were not able to defend and mnintviu the rights wliieli we not the leas fully believe to have been ours. Our argument is held this day to be as valid as in 1860. We have submit? ted to force, ^without sur ?ender of opinion.' Submission is the word in our case, and we know of none who is not resigned to this condition of submission-none seeks' to dis? turb it; but if .the loyalty which is called for means lore, or anything beyond submis? sion, it is a mistake to use it in connection With" the people of the South. FRANCE AND EKOLAND.-The JPost holds that the meetings of the fleets of England and France represents an appreciation of international obligations the significance of wnich none may dissemble. The' pur? pose of this great naval demonstration is paciho, Hot only as between the two great countries engaged in it; Imt as it concerns all other countries, with which "they have I relations. England and Frs?"o?*have found [ that their interests are fundamentally the ^same. ffheir main object ia to secure the peace on which progress and prosperity depend, and to this end they have certain duties to perform. They may not be called upon to protect weak powers or to ' restrain the aggressive proclivities of strong powers j when their own interests are not involved. It might be proper to establish that prin? ciple, but it -could only be established in ? Europe on a more comprehensive under-, standing, and in America, England and Franco have recognized an identity in. theil interests. * THE FRENCH PROJECT POR A TELEGRAPH TO A M KI:IO A . -r-The Nord says : . "The failure of the Great Eastern has not discouraged the "shareholders of the Trans-Atlantic Cable Company, or the new French Company, which has obtained per? mission to lay "down a cable between France and the "United States. M. Alberto Bilis trini has undertaken the enterprise at hi* own risk. But this time the company does not intend to submerge a cable for any enor? mous du tan co, as there will be intermediate stations. The following is the track at pre? sent contemplated: From -Paris to iLisboUj and thence to Cape St Vincent, by land; from this last place to the Canary islands, along the uoastof Morocco ; from the Canary .Islands to Cape Verde, along the African coast, with stations af: Si. Louis (Senegal] and at Goree ; from Cape Verde to/?ape St Boque, on the coast of Brazil-a distance ol fess than one-half that cf the cabio intend? ed to be laid by the Great Eastern ; from I Cape St Boque to Cayenne, along th< i American coast, and from Cayenne to Ney j Orleans by the coast; or probably by cables, I connecting tho principal West India Islands. The enterprise is more easily practicable than that conceived in England. The onlj difficulty will be to secure the prose rv?tioi of the line on the African coast, and thai security rosy be obtained by means of guare stations. "The company wm .have a conees sion for one hundred years, and the Frencl Government w ill abandon the right of mak ing any other concession during that time A subvention of four million of francs, pay able by instalments, will bo granted whei the company shall have obtained the author izattons from all the Geverumes?* ove: whoso territory the electric cable it to pass Tile eleoiric~coinmuniciitio!i.s between Pari and tho Canary Islands is to be complete! within three years, and the whole line with in five. '* . ? . L?ttcr troua, ?ton. H. A.- Wise to ?Oen. Ctra^t. We taxa tue following from a Richmond, ootemporary-the T?nen-ot the 5th. It is among .the most, remarkable of the produc? tions of a most renlarkabh> man :. Our readers will remember that General' Wise recently made application .to General I Terry" for permission to return " to hi? h om.e I in Princess Anno County, as under the terms ! of his parole.. General Terry (through Gem. ; Mann) refused, for specified- reasons. I Under date of "September 1st,- Gen. Wise has written a letter to .-.Gen. Gruat; for* j warded through Gen. Terry, from -which w? make extracts. Ble replies in succession to' the points made in-the letter of refusal^ and after declaring that-' he nover * 'aban doned, his home" .except in gping to camp I to defend it against invasion, with the fun determination toTetarn to it as soon aa the chances of war should pennit, he says: "I found no now home for my family; they -were simply Refugees from the old." . He then writes as follows; i "If General Terry was (governed, by earn-, est and honest convictions of duty, of right and. authority in all he did-so wns I. If I he was a patriot-so ? was I. If he gave proof of his devotion-so did L If he thought he had the shield of constitutional law and political sovereignty to-protect him ! Agni dst foti charge of rcfci?lici? i.u d treason_ so I thought I-had. If he loved and che? rished the Union of these States, I loved and ' cherished it so cordially that I meyer. from .choice would have seceded frpjnit^but pre? pared to fight 'in the Union ;' and if he worn ders how I now eau. truly declare these sen? timental after voting for secession and ! taking up* arms against tho Federal 4Exe"" I t\ye and Congress, I '.must beg4 hiim U, ! member that he and I have been taught L. different schools' of politics; and that wiL : account for oin* diff?rences of opinion, and [ ought to allow a large n&argim for charity at j least, if not toleration, jj If he was trained ? in * the school of Hamilton -and the elder Adams, I was in that of Jefferson and Mad i - I son; and he would boldly expose himself.tc ehe charge of bigotry, ?n? presumption whc Would charge either "school with ieaeh?ae rebellion uxul ire*ta?n!*'.K.AB ?fcxi^e?rotw tc either to. adoptihe. dogmas of treason and TebeUioh against the.other, alternating ii j domination as. they have* donet sp ofter j already in our history. Each might sheol and hang the other by turns' in tho cours* of half a century. If Gen. Terry believed in co?solid?tion, 1 believed in States! rights and powers. Xi he believed that the Federal Executive and Congress and the judiciary possessed abso lute, I believed fhpy bad only relative and delegated sovereignty. If he believed .tha they were unchecked and unbalanced bj other powers, I believed that thea whol< Bystem of the Usited States, Stete a.?d* Ped eral? was composed of reciprocal checks ame balances; and that the sovereign States wert the basis, checks and balances of the Federa Government. I- was- taught- that tha St$te were not tm um, but e pluribus unum, and thi many in one, one in matt/.

When the civil liberty for which! devout! pray really comes again, I can, without hil d rance, fall?an the bosom of. my couati and weep with her "for any wrongs wo hjM done."

THF. MINNESOTA ANP . "WISCONSIN REPTTB MOANS. --Tho Republican party.in thojStates of Minnesota and Wisconsin have jiun^held their con vantions. 'In the former State they- swallowed' the Chase platform, negro suffrage and all, and directly voted down a resolution approving the administration of President ?Johnson, in Wisconsin there was a sharp contest over univ*., sal negro suffrage, ?nd the endorsement of thc Presi? dent's policy, "whioh finally resulted in lay? ing the negro resolution on' the table. The action of these conventions reveals the ani? mus which pervades that, party the country over, lt is further evidence bf the agitating,.

The Minnesota Republican politicians, like the Jacobins in Boston and the Republicans in Maine, soe so much of the 'negro that they are:thoroughly posted on all. subjects bear? ing upon his treatment, and are wiser than ..the President, who has a practical knowledge of Aie d?uu?ltiea attending tko transforma? tion of the.colored race from slaves to citi? zens, with all the privileges and duties as auch.

York Nexos. THK GRKAT JEWISH OHDKK. - An event of f great interest to the Jewish people of this i fonwtrv J%M? iuht occurred in New York, being tlie annual convention of the Grand ; Lodge of the "Sons of the Covenant." .The Philadelphia Aga says, this is. the great Jewish order of this nation, and it? benefi? cial workings are highly estimated and ap? preciated by the Israelites. The "Sons of the Covenant" originated some twelve years since, ?nd its founders sought by its means to bring about a union of all Israel its, ; irrespective of doctrinal differences, upon the broad platform of Jewish enlight? enment, benevolence -and brotherly love*. It was started in New York; and has now spread over .the ontire Union, from the At? lantic to the Paehic. Its main objects are - the foundation of colleges, schools, hospi *tals and kindred institutions', the encou? ragement of Jewish liter:' Lure, and the'pro? tection of Jewish int?r?ts whenever assail? ed by bigoted fanatics. Its influence in these directions is very prominent, and the powerful voice of the order has made itself ; heard on several occasion?. While the ad? mission to the ledges and the internal ; workings aije secret, its objects and pur? poses are open and public observations and criticism, courted rather than avoided. The order now consista ' of sixty-.six lodges, loojated in each of the principal cities of the Union. . The members.number nearly IQ,OOft-r-all?men ot influence and irre? proachable social standing. Its capital near? ly SfcGO, ?GO; ?flKhg the past year some #20, 000' have? been -expended for benevolent purposes. 'Among its doings during the past year is the foundation of a Jewisli hos? pital in Philadelphia, the successful working of several : literary, associations, and a large increase to the widows' and orphans' fund, with which it is intended, at no distant day, to erect a widows'-Jioma and oiphans' asylum. ? * Mounce & Calfa?sm/ COMMISSION M&lCRAty$r CiOB?BK^rvaiaaod''a?taa>trjio&?,*(&?ar. *?.
