COLUMBIA. ?mr ?-?_-Rjr_v. A t aaa Sunday JH.U?""H?> .???"? v>u w?u. Words of Truth and Soberness. Reverend Albert Barnes, D. D., a distinguished divine of Philadelphia, a strong anti-slavery mau, has re? cently uttered the following words of truth and soberness: ' ' I hesitate not to say that, on the whole, the conduct of the South in the feelings evinced on tho termina? tion of the conflict, has been such as to demand tho confidence of the North, and the admiration of man? kind. The surrender of the armed forces was so complete and entire; the cessation of hostilities was so imme? diate and universal; the acknowledg? ment that they had been overcome was so prompt, frank and manly ; the readiness to return to the Union has been so general, and apparently so sincere; the recognition of the fact that slavery is extinct forever, has been widely admitted as a fact- -vast as are the consequences involved, and is the change in their habits; the rea? diness to come under the arrange? ments for collecting the revenue has been so prompt; the disposition to resume commercial intercourse with the great cities of the North has been so marked; and the willingness to come iuto the great arrangements of the nation for perpetuating freedom has been so general, that we see in this, I think, the return of the feelings of the best days of the Republic' There are exceptions, (individual,) but there has never been a civil war closed, where there was less lingering animosity, or more willingness to unite again under the same Government. Can we forget when we think of what is in the Southern bosom still, that long-cherished opinions, feelings and customs, do not soon change among some people. Can we forget how long after the wars of the ' Roses, ' and after the civil wars that resulted in the establishment of ' the Common? wealth,' in England, on the cessation of the forms of war, the feelings which had been engendered lingered in the bosoms of Englishmen ? Can we forget how long after the Revolu? tion, the banishment of James, and the accession of William and Mary, love for the ' pretender ' lingered in the hearts of a portion of that nation : how firm was the conviction that he was the rightful heir of the crown ; how strong the hope that ho would yet come to the throne ? Shall wt blame our Southern brethren if some similar feelings linger in their bo soms ?" Such sentiments as these, utterer, by men in high position among thei: fellow-citizens, will do more to ce ment thc Union and revive the oh kindly feelings between the people o both sections than all the declama tions of political haranguera can eve effect. This is another cheering indi cation of the pleasant change in th feelings of the Northern people. THB PRESIDENT'S POLICY.-The ex citement in Washington and othe cities, consequent upon a knowledg of the President's policy as shadowe forth in his last public address, COE tinues unabated. The newspaper teem with comments. Articles favoi able and articles unfavorable appea in quick su cession. The conserve tive element, however, is ahead c the radical. The people are awaker. ing to a sense of the political situatio of the country. They are formin their opinions.

BALTIMORE, MD., Feb. 27, I860. DEAR PHONIX : Last night there was a large mass meeting of the citi? zens of this city held in the Institute Hall, for the purpose of endorsing the recent action of our President. Speeches were made by several gen? tlemen, who most heartily endorsed the veto message of the President. It seems that the President has been doing all that mortal man could to restore the disfranchised States to full membership in the great national family; but unfortunately he has met some opposition. However, we im? plicitly rely upon the firmness ami integrity of President Johnson, and feel sure that he will do all that is possible to re-adjust the somewhat disarranged machinery of this great and growiug Government. Wo do not apprehend any serious collision between the President and the pre? sent Congress; yet, even in such an unfortunate event, we believe that the troubled waters would "soon be? come calm and placid through the judicious conduct of all the people. The glory of our Government is, that it belongs to the people; they are the throne of power. And if the people are properly enlightened and Chris? tianized, th**Government will abide safe for all time. But it is well for us ever to bear in mind that this pe? culiar feature of our Government exposes it to the ravages of ambitious and designing men, and hence all men should be exceedingly careful lo avoid anything that would influence the worser passions of the populace. Many persons frequently write with? out "previous meditation, and many speakers speak without thinking much; and hence most of our politi? cal difficulties originate in these ephemeral productions. While I write or speak let me not become dogmatical, but remember that others have tho same privilege thus to ex? press their thoughts ; and let me allow that they have brains and purity of purpose as well as I. In a word, let me feel that I am only one person among thirty millions of free people on this continent. If all people throughout our country would thus reason, feel and act, what a quiet season of peace and continued pros? perity would be everywhere enjoyed. May thc desirable period in our his? tory soon arrive. May r " ' "keringa, strifes and contentions A.. er cease among us, aud may pcac< d con? cord forever reign. OMxSGA. The New Orleans Picayune com? plains of correspondents who seek to create the ?impression that the lives and property of Northern men are not safe in the South, and says that, in nineteen cases out of twenty, their stories are ' ' naked fabrications, without a cireumstanee on which to base them," and that, " in the twen ! tieth, they are excited exaggerations of incidents that are rare and excep? tional and most trivial." It admits that at present Southern society is not open, as it once was, to Northern men. It says that "it is not reasonable to expect, and no man of sense does ex? pect, at this early day after the sud? den cessation of war, in its violent form, that social intercourse would be re-instated at once in its former general aspects, or that it can be until time has softened the sting of wounds which have scarcely ceased to bleed." -? ? ? > - The 22d of February-Washing? ton's birth-day- has been made a legal holiday, by the United States Congress. ADDRESS OF THE FRENCH SENATE MEXICO.-The address of tho French Senate in reply to the Emperor's ad? dress throws a snip-light on the sig? nificance of his language regarding the Mexican expedition, the recall of the French troops, and the perma? nence of Maximilian's reign. The paragraphs on these subjects run as follows: Your Majesty has announced that that memorable Mexican expedition approaches its conclusion, and thal you are coming to an arrangemeuf with the Emperor Maximilian for fix? ing the period of the recall of the troops. France is satisfied to heai that the protection to her commercial interests will be assured in that greal and rich market restored by our co? operation to security. As for the United States, if, in con? sequence of a misapprehension, the presence of the French flag on the American continent appears to them less opportune than at another more illustrious epoch in their history, tl ie firm language of your Government has shown that it is not high and me? nacing words which will determine our withdrawal. France is accustomed to march only at her own time, but she is pleased to remember her an? cient friendship for the United States. What you claim from them is, neu? trality and the law of nations. By that means they will the sooner sec that a war, undertaken for the so oft avowed purpose of protecting resident Frenchmen against a Government without probity, does not become, by reason of its successful issue, a war of conquest, of domination, or of propa gandism. From Washington. WASHINGTON, February 26.-Secre? tary Seward arrived here this morn? ing and had a long private interview with the President this afternoon. He was telegraphed for, in order that the President might consult him in regard to the formation of the new Cabinet. The announcement of the new Cabinet may be looked for daily; and if the present Cabinet meets to? morrow, it will probably be for the last time. Secretary Harlan has already re? signed, and it is reported that Mr. Speed's resignation is in the Presi? dent's hands. Mr. Stanton has not resigned and his friends say he will not; but that will not delay the ap? pointment of his successor. I have hitherto refrained from mentioning a fact that I have been at last. reluctlantly led to believe, name? ly, that it would be prudent in the President to adopt some measures for his persoual safety. The inflamma? tory ap*~ ?als of the radical leaders have goaded some of their ignorant and degraded followers to the pitch of fury, and they have been led to regard Andrew Johnson as an obstacle in the way of their fancied rights. [Cor. New York N'?tes. WASHINGTON, February 27.-The Judiciary Committee, it is under? stood, have agreed to report back to the House, favorably, Mr. Stevens' bill relative to the tenure of office of Presidential appointees. The bill provides that no removals from office can be made by the President, ex? cept by and with the consent of the Senate. The bill, if it passes, will be vetoed, of course. Secretary McCulloch is exceedingly anxious in regard to his loan bill, now before Congress. In a letter to a distin? guished gentleman, to-day, he says that if the bill is not passed, it is doubtful if the credit of the Govern? ment can be maintained, and ex? pressed fears that its defeat will occa? sion a financial collapse. Statistics at the Treasury Depart? ment show that there is no founda? tion for the commonly received opin? ion that there is a balance of exporta over imports in our foreign trade. The official values of the exports are currency values, while the valuations of the imports are in gold figures. For the three years, 1863, 1864 and 1865, the imports amount to $876, 000,000 iu gold, while the exports, valued in currency at $972,000,OOC when reduced to a gold standard, amount to only $662,000,000, leaving, instead of $156,000,000 in our favoi a deficit of $154,000,000. This is thc true condition of our foreign trade, and probably explains the cause ol tho great flow of our securities tc Europe. The impression, generally preva? lent, that Hon. Freeman Clarke, Comptroller of the Treasury, because of his connection with the adminis? tration of Treasury Department affairs, coincides with President Johnson's views on reconstruction, ii erroneous. He differs with him en? tirely on the question of the imme? diate admission of the rebel States, believing that the result will be ar attempt on their part to repudiate the national debt. [Cor. Philadelphia Ledger. THE POLITICAL SITUATION. The general discussion on the future of the great Union party, in view of recent events, has been ex? ceedingly vigorous here for the past few days, and has thus far produced most encouraging and harmonizing results. C< .nparing the feeling oi last Thursday night with that of to day, we cannot but feel elated ovei the aspect. This has resulted, in ? great measure, from the admirabh temper exhibited by Congress, anc from the wise counsels of many lead ing public men outside of Congress who are or have been here, such &? Governor Fenton, of New York, Go vernor Cox, of Ohio, ex-Governoi Andrew, of Massachusetts, General' Stedman, McCook, and others. Th< speech of Senator Sherman to-day going forth to the country in connec tion with the official report of the in terview between the President ant Governor Cox, will have an excellen effect in defining the true relations o the Union party towards the Presi dent. In addition to this, there is ai increasing feeling in Congress ii favor of the admission of Tennessee and an effort to that end will un doubtedly be made this week. Man; Union members who strongly disap ?>rove the tone and temper of th Resident's speech, have expresse? their willingness to-day to vote fo the admission of Tennessee, becausi they honestly believe that that State above all others, is in a proper condi tion to be represented, and becaus they wish to present to the people o the country a practical an! positiv evidence of the good faith of th Union party in Congress in the grea work of restoration. It is not knowi whether the matter will come up oi a report from the Committee on Re construction, or by an independen resolution ; but it cannot long be de laved, and when it does come up i will probably be in such a shape as t secure the favor of a majority of th Union members, and the oppositioi of the Democrats, and a few of tb extreme radicals. With practical evi deuce of its patriotism thus exhibited the Union pdHy will neither bc dis rupted nor find the President outsid of its noble and well-tried organiza tion. As au evidence of the improve? Feeling here, I may say that Colone Forney's reception this evening i attended by many of the warmes mpporters of the President, an< much oil is being poured upon the troubled political waters. [Cor. New York Times. THE HON. WILLIAM MARTIN. The Intelligencer, of yesterday, says : Hon. William Martin, a prominent lawyer and public man of Virginia, and from the tobacco-growing region on the South side of the James river, had au interview with the President yesterday, in which the state of affairs m Virginia was freely talked over. We learn that Mr. M. gave a most cheering account of the freedmen in his region of the State, and fully con? firmed thc statement of the lute legis? lative delegation as to the almost uni? versal and sincere submission of the masses of the people to the Govern? ment and laws of the United States. WASHINGTON, February 27.-It is now a common remark among Repub? licans that Congress ia softening. A i very eminent radical in the Executive quarter said to me to-day that the ship of State was again on the right tack. This means, probably, that the more conservative members are to break away from the Stevens-Forney rule, and sustain, partially at least, the President's policy. Something of a breach will probably exhibit itself to-morrow. The radical majority is in a hazardous condition in the Se? nate, and there was still ^ome dispo? sition shown to fight it out on their line, by the fierce attempt to break the force of Mr. Dixon's strong argu? ment to-day. There is a rumor that the Secretary of the Treasury has brought a bureau officer to account for altuse of the President. A large number of the subordinates in departments still think they are a great power. An intimate personal friend of Mr. Stanton said, to-day, that the latter desired to retrieve himself before the nation. Too late. [Cor. iltimore Sun. A reception was gi u by President Johnson at the Executive Mansion last night, which was crowded almost beyond precedent in similar affairs. Citizens of all classes, the majority of j them persons of prominence aud in? fluence, attended, and manifested by j their presence and hearty greetings the increased estimation in which the I President is held in consequence of the severe ordeals through which he has recently passed. [New York Herald, 28th. A destructive fire occurred in Phila? delphia, on the 26th, in Third street, above Race. It originated in Robert's hardware store and communicated to J ames, Kent & Santee's extensive dry goods warehouse, destroying the two upper stories of the latter building. Robert's store was entirely destroyed. Four firemen were killed, and others are reported killed or injured, by the falling of the roof and side walls. The loss by the fire amount? to over three and a quarter millions of dollars. -. -1?, .-- - . THE NAIL STRUCK ON THE HEAD. It is reported that Commodore Van? derbilt, being called on a few even? ings since, gave? the following sen? timent : "The health of the President of the United States : Some say his recent speech is vulgar, I say it is just." Resolutions have been introduced in the New York Senate, in favor of the Freedmen's Bureau bill and against the President's veto, and re? questing the Congressmen not to vote for the admission of members from any of the late rebellious States. Thurlow Weed telegraphed from New York on Thursday afternoon, ratifying the President's course as follows: "To Senator Morgan : All right here in Washington, and in the country. The work is done. George A. Trenholm, Esq., has presented the Orangeburg Female Seminary buildings as a donation tc the Episcopal Theological Seminary of South Carolina. General Grant was accidentally sho' in the hand in New York, on th< ?1st, by the explosion of a new riih which he was examining. The wounc was not serious. It is said that Secretary Stan toi has announced his intention to orde: the distribution, next week, of tin rewards for the apprehension of th? assassination conspirators. It is reported that if the radicals ii Congress oust Mr. Brooks, of Ne\ York, from his seat, the Presiden will appoint him Collector of the por of New York.

I HAVE been engaged for some time in Washington city in investigating and pro? secuting the applications for pardon from South Carolina under the Amnesty Procla? mation. Having the approval of Governor Orr and ex-Governor Ferry, and the advan? tage of distinguished official and profes? ional assistance, I have been enabled to overcome tho greater part of difficulties heretofore existing in this matter, and liave obtained the execution and delivery to me of warrants for pardon in most of ?.he cases which como within the thirteenth [or $20,000) exception. About forty cases ?f this character, more recently filed, art? still in thc Attorney-General's office, and could not be obtained at prc sont. There ire about fifty cases under other excep? tions, on which, likewise, no action for tho present could be obtained. Some applica? tions have never reached Washington, and .viii have to bo renewed. I have complete ists and descriptions from which I can jive f nil information in any of the cases. Ln addition to tho warrant, of pardon, many of which have already been issued ind delivered in South Carolina, and the lceeptance thereof, a final official certifi? cate is necessary, in order to render the sard?n a full protection against confisca? tion. I have obtained tho necessary forms md instructions upon which to procuro these final certificates. The present aspect it political affairs, and the organization of the Federal Court in South Carolina, will suggest the necessity for tho immediate sompletion of all pardons. My charge for information respecting iny pardon is live dollars. For procuring the warrant of pardon and final certificate, :wenty-fivo dollars. For procuring the inal certificate alone, ten dollars. As my expenditures of time, labor and money liave been very heavy in these matters, my fees must bc paid in advance. If from any cause the service cannot be successfully rendered, the fees will be immediately re? turned. I will attend, also, to preparing original ipplications for pardon-obtaining the iovernor's approval-and have the appli? cation prosecuted in Washington city. Ad Iress C. J.
