Tbc "Washington correspondent of tho
Hew York World, says that a bill bas been
drawn up in Washington, for presentation
to Congress on tho first day of thc session,
proposing a new scheme of restoration.
lt provides for the appointment by the
President of a Governor for each State
lately in rebellion. Tho Governor so ap
?poiatod is to have tho power of the ap?
pointment of all exocutivo and judicial
tfiflicers within the State, according to thc
laws of thc State in force at the time of
his entering into office, except such laws
or enactments as may have been passed by
a Legislature recognizing, and co operating
with, thc so-called Confederate Govern?
ment after tho passage of the ordinance of
secession in such State. The Governor is
further authorized to organize courts in
accordance with thc said laws of theState.
All bf his proclamations arc to have the
?erne force as the laws. He is to open a
registry, where all qualified voters can bc
reg?sstered on taking a stringent oath of
allegiance. They are then to elect legis?
lators, who arc to prepare a constitution,
on which Congress is to decide. If adopt?
ed by Congress, all military restriction on
?aid State is to be abandoned.
Tho World is not a Radical journal, but,
on thc contrary, supports thc President's
policy of reconstruction. If the above
"report of its correspondent bc true, then,
indeed, will tho Southern States bc reduced
io tko condition of mere territories. The
, Southern States (South Carolina being
among thc foremost) have accepted tho
conditions indicated by Prosidenl Johnson
as necessary to their restoration, and we
hope, therefore, that the above programme
does not receive thc sanction of bia admin?
istration, but is merely the speculations of
a sensational newspaper writer.
The Curcncy?National Debt.
'The premium at which gold now sells for
thc currency of the counUv is, as a cotem
porary remarks, attributable, in a great
-degree, to an idle doubt on the part of thc
Vitesses -ef the people that tho national
debt will be repudiated and never paid.
This doubt is encouraged by designing
and artful men who know better, but whe
anticipate the realization of immenso for
tunes, by speculating on tho currency anc
imn/iainir /vn tbf ifrnnrant wl">?
the country to pay tho national debt is be
yond any doubt, and thai in comparatively
.a brief period, when AM consider how Eu
xopean Governments have paid theirs
If peace prevails., wd tho nation is involve<
gbxaii joneign -wur-it will not be, we cr
?sure, .in a dontcstic one-ten years will no
' icxpire before the debt will cease to bo one
Tip*o the people. Wealth, populatio:
flwulirs'sourcea, not yet, but daily being dc
-v?krped, will insure thia. There ia no arce
country in. rhe world, and it can. endur
tmrrtfiieiif aao other nation can. We loo
nipan t?fc? efforts being mado to impair cor
%dence in tho national currency as wicke
in the extreme. The intelligence of th
people, wc trust, will save them from bein
further imposed upon by those who prop?
gate the idea that the nation's debt will no
be paid-thus causing the depreciation <
the national currency, and raising th
value of every commercial and agricultor!
.commodity.
"There is at this time a gentleman froi
the South-west stopping at thc Charlesto
Botel, who informs the Netra that bc ha
"made an arrangement at the North forth
cultivation of 1,000 acres of cotton land h
fifty Swedish laborers. He says that thi
jplan is being largely adopted in Tennesse?
.Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas. II
also says that Northern capitalists ar
Teddy advancing capital for the purpos
of planting on shares; that societies ar
formed that furnish labor for a commit
wie>n, and that the effect has already bee
to advance lands that four months ag
could have been easily bought for $20, t
$00 an acre.
--.<-<-!
Telegrams have been received by th
President, Gen. Fisk and the Freedmen'
Bureau, signed by seven or eight of th
leading influential men of Tennessoi
which remonstrate against, the anticipate
removal of a supervising officer of th
above Bureau, now on duty ir that Stat;
and the appointment of a civilian of th
?State instead. The telcgra - in qa istio
admit tho entire equity . freedmen
system as at present admini tered in Tei
nesseo, and desire that no change 1
made. Another communication has bec
received by tho Bureau fr<>m a prominei
citizen of the South, which warmly ei
presses the belief that thc labor sys.
the South, as now regulated and dircc..
ha? beon thc only safeguard from complet
?worthlessness of negro labor by reason <
the sudden relaxation of disciplino an
withdrawal of absolute authority to coerc
industry among the blacks.
The Freedmen.
Major-General Howard, Superintendent
of tho Freedmen's Isuroeu, returned to
Washington on Saturday from his tour of
inspection through the Southern States,
under instructions from the President,
having visited all tho States lately in rebel?
lion except Texas and Arkansas. On tho
?whole ho speaks favorably of thc condition
of affairs throughout tho South. In somo
places the condition of freedmen is such
that thc Bureau might bo abolished, while
in other sections he regards it as necessary
to continue its operations. He will make
a report forthwith to the President.
General Howard had a protracted inter?
view on Saturday, with the President and
Secretary of War. Ho will lay before the
President in a few days his observations
in thc shape of a report, after which tho
President will immediately take up and
dispose of the question of turning over to
thc original owners the property new in
possession oi thc negroes of tho South.
The Bureau undoubtedly has been of
great service in some sections of the South,
but we trust that after thc 1st of January
next, matters will bo so arranged that its
operat ions can be safely dispensod with.
Thc Career of thc Shenandoah.
LIST OF VESSELS DESTROYED BY TUE PIRATE.
Thc pirate Shenandoah has at last ar?
rived home, having boen absent since the
8th of October, 1864, during which timo
she has beon around the world, sinking,
burning, destroying and bonding American
vessels. Among her last acts was the de?
struction of our North-western coast whal?
ing fleot.
The Sea King was built at Glasgow, in
October, 18G3, and was registered as the
Sropcrty of William Wallace, banker, of
ondon, and others-her registered ton?
nage being seven hundred and ninety tons,
her combined power being two hundred
harae, her frame work iron and wood plank?
ing. On thc. 20th September, 1864, she was
transferred by bill of sale to ltichard
Wright, ship owner, of Liverpool, who was
a very near connection of the rebel finan?
cial agent in that town. On tho 30th Sep?
tember, P. L. Corbett was endorsed as mas?
ter, and on thc 7th October, ltichard Wright
executed a certificate of sale to Peter Lu?
ther Corbett, the master, empowering him
to sell the Sea King at any port out of the
United Kingdom, for not less than ?45,000,
within six months from date of certificate.
She was then entered and cleared in ballast
as an ordinary merchant vessel at London
for Bombay.
In tho meantime, another vessel called
the Laurel, and owned by Henry Lafono,
of Liverpool, was taking on board all thc
necessary armament stores, etc., several
rebel officers and a large number of men.
On the same day that the Sea King sailed
from London for Bombay, the Laurel sail?
ed from Liverpool for Nassau. Thc two
oy, and there, within Portuguese waters,
the armament and men were speedily trans?
ferred from the Laurel to thc Sea King,
both vessels being still under the Britisk
flag. The Sea King was then renamed
Shenandoah, hoisted thc rebel flagt and
set forth on her piratical cruiso. H?r arm?
ament consisted of six guns, vt? : four 68
pounders and two 32-poun<,.ors, with a full
crew of British sadors. The first we heard
of her after sho left Madeira, was that she
! had destroyed a few vessels in tho neigh?
borhood of the Island of St. Helena. Her
next performance w?s to double the Cape
i of Good Hope and cruiso around in the
> B?v of Bengal and tho Straits of Sundy.
. She next made her appearance in the port
of Melbourne, Australia, and was coaled,
' provisioned, and recoivod a reinforcement
1 ef men, strictly in accordance with British
; neutrality. After remaining there for some
time sho started anew on her career of de
> vastation. The next wo hear of the pirate
- is that she is in tho Arctic Ocean, eaptur
; ing, destroying, and bonding the vessels
. composing our whaling fleet. From the
beginning of April to the end of June she
. destroyed and bonded twenty-nine vessels,
1 thus entirely breaking up thc whaling sea?
son in that quarter. We append a list ol
vessels destroyed or bonded by the pirate

( Advices from New Orleans, of tho 5th,
state tliat there is unusual activity among
? military circles in that city. Since the re
? ception of the recent despatches from thc
, Kio Grande, mysterious orders have been
issued and the sale of boats prohibited,
and thoso on hand are being placed on a
war footing. The sale of all transporta
f tion and supplies has ceased. The l?t,
4th, and Rtli regiments of cavalry have
been ordered to embark for Indianola, and
' report for duty at San Antonia, to General
? I Oerritt. Tho dismounted colored cavalry
at Now Orleans are also destined for the
same place. General Forsythe, General
1 Sheridan's chief of staff, has gone to
Brazos.
Caw? of W?r Against EtiRlaud-A
Rod in Piela? for Her ?nd France.
We puclish w-??/ some new and
very important disclosures relative to
the complicity of British officials in
the departure of the rebel corsair
Alabama from British -waters on her
errand of piracy ' and devastation
against American commerce. From
these developments-and as they are
based upon official data furnished by
governmental authority we must place
confidence in their reliability-one
hitherto controverted point is made
clear-that is. the Government of
Great Britain is shown to bo entirely
responsible for the departure of the
vessel in question; and, as that re?
sponsibility involves a perfected case
of violation |of neutrality, thc power
that sanctioned or connived at it must
be held for indemnification, even to
the extremity of war.
We now have a cause for war with
England which we can make usc of
at any time. Wc hold the wage of
battle, which we can throw down
whenever it suits us best to do so.
Besides this clear case which is made
our. against England on authority
furnished by herself, we have also
other causes of complaint which can
be urged against her when we deem
proper; or we can reciprocate by giv?
ing her like for like, tit for tat. As
she recognized the Slave States as
belligerents during the rebellion, so
can we turn the tables against her by
recognizing the Fenians as belliger?
ents; and as she winked at the equip?
ment and departure from British
waters of the Alabama as a rebel
cruiser, so can wc wink at the depar?
ture Xrorn the waters of _the St. Law?
rence' of a Shenandoah as a Fenian
cruiser. England has made the issue,
and the United States will meet it
triumphantly at the proper time.
It is the same with France, which
joined hands with England in recog?
nizing the Slave States as belliget
enta, as regards Mexico. Betwecsr
the parties fighting in Mexico, tht
United States Government has reeog
nized but one-the liberals or repub
heans-as the de facto govommont o:
the country. |Our Government know;
nothing officially of the existence o
Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico
Napoleon might as weil, for all ou
Government officially knows to th
contrary, have sent a Parisian thiel
taker across the Atlantic and place'
him with his bj*vj^et&jmQ2u&is,;l?
to have sent the German prince wh
now occupies it. Hence, recognizin
the republican leader Juarez as th
head of the legitimate Government c
\ Mexico, all the United States have t
do to get quits with Napoleon for hi
encouragement of the rebel cause an
his defiance of the American doctrin
\ of Monroe, is to recognize the repnl
heans of Mexico as belligerents withi
the intent and meaning held by bot
' England and France. By that ru]
1 privateers can leave our ports to caj
tur? .and destrpy French merchar
ships wherever found, under authorit
of letters of marque issned by th
\ President of Mexico. Why this hi
not been done already may by som
1 be attributed to the want of pluck o
tho part of the liberals in Mexic<
But this is not the case. It is cause
i by the lack of pecuniary means. Bi
even now, in a respectable quarter <
; the city of New York, are responsibl
; financial parties receiving moneys i
aid of the liberal cause in Mexic;
which may be used either in fittin
out privateers or in any other mannt
calculated to attain the object in viev
It may not be many weeks before w
hear of Mexican privateers hoverin
near the French coast, just as we ha^
recently heard of Fenian privateei
hovering near the English coast.
But it is not thc policy of the Unite
States to quarrel just at this time wit
any foreign power. We do uot wai
to go to war now. It is our be
course to keep quiet for the presen
Lot us devote ourselves to the labt
of reconciling the whole country, t
restoring domestic tranquility, to a<
I justing financial and other importai
' home questions, for :i little while.
Meanwhile we can let England an
I France know that they cannot qua
I rel with us nor go to war with an
I other power with impunity. W
hold them both by the throat. At
solitary signal, ten lines of a proel;
mation from the President of tl;
United States, or five lines of a res(
lution in Congress, wo can, withoi
going to war ourselves, make tl
Atlantic ocean swarm with Mexica
and Fenian privateers, that will swee
their commerce from its surface lik
an East India simoom. All that v?
require of England and France no
is to keep civil and step up to tb
captain's office and settle. Otherwis
we assure them that our causes c
quarrel with them will keep, like
barrel of mackerel well salted, unt
the proper dav of reckoning sha

available one, on account of the want and
