This speec was delivered nearly seven monti: ago, yet what is the prospect to-da of the "waking up" which the Seer? tary anticipated? The fact is, M: Mcculloch did not comprehend tl. resources of the country, and esp? cially the immense value of the co ton of the South. The country In been wonderfully prosperous, and so to-day, in spite of the most tr mendiions and exhausting war tl world ever witnessed; and why? Ot liabilities abroad have been promp ly met, our securities have gone v in the markets of the world, the cu rency has been falling all tho tin toward a specie level, com mer? [jpt% and trade have been most activ and the Treasury has been fill? to a surplus; and why? Mr. M Culloch and those financial ai banking theorists, who predict? revulsion and all sorts of disastei did not take into account the cottt of the South, a product which, with a year, has proved of more value tin five or six years ero]) of the precio metals from California and the otb States and Territories of the Pacil slope. Tiny seemed to have 1< sight of tho product, which is wor more than all the mines of the worl lt only shows how short-sighted ai superficial the public men of o country are on such questions. Wh? would our credit have been-wi: would have been tho depreciation our currency, and how empty wot have been the coffers of thc Treasn but for thc three or four hundr millions of dollars' worth of cott that has come out of the South sir the war closed? So far from si rev sion, we aro still on the high tide prosperity, and aro healthfully s proaching a specie basis. Nothi can check this career of prosper but insane legislation in Congre that may stop the industry of tl South, If that valuable section the country be soon restored, and immediate resources developed at n. tural consequence, we need i fear any "waking up"' as to thc val of property ora financial revulsion [New York Herald Front Washington i The President's opposition to the reconstruction amendment I tele? graphed you on Monday. This op? position, you will note, was commu? nicated to the.Cabinet yesterday, and the unqualified adhesion which all the members present, save one, gave to tho stand taken by the Executive, has been, to-day, the main topic of conversation. Mr. Stanton's change of position has called for the special comment. The publication of the Cabinet meeting is said to have been ono of Mr. Seward's masterly strokes, the object hiring to kill tho measure in the public mind before Congress had j the opportunity to act upon it. So far a? the adherents of tho pro? posed amendment nre concerned, however, the more ultra of them de? clare *neir purpose to adhere firmly to the "plan," and to compel its adoption by Congress without delay, lt is more probable, though, that the report will be materially modified, aud that the "1870" voting clause, especially, will bo so construed, or changed, as to take from it ihe ap? pearance that it is designated to shut the South ont from participation in the next Presidential election. [ Philadelphia Ledger, 3</. I telegraphed on the 20th ultimo, that, notwithstanding the threaten? ing aspect of affairs in Europe, there would be no war bet ween Austria and Prussia, owing to the mediation of Emperor Napoleon. I learn to-day that the State Department has re? ceived, by the last steamer, de? spatches from Mr. Motley, and also from England, which confirm this view in every particular. Private letters have also been received by gentlemen here, both from Paris and London, which contain assurances to the same effect. This is important, in view of Mr. Seward's last de? spatches to Air. Motley. They were written at a time when it seemed certain that Austria had a war upon her hands. - Neie York News. The President, yesterday, .sent a message to the House of Representa? tives in answer to a r?solution of the 23d of April, requesting a report of the Hoard of Inquiry at New Orleans, conducted by General Smith anil James T. Brady. The message en? closed a letter from the Secretary of War, representing that it would be incompatible with the publie inte? rests to communicate tbe report. [ Washington Republican, -if//. The semi-official publication of the endorsement of the President's policy of reconstruction by all of thc mem? bers of his Cabinet save Harlan caused great consternation at the Capitol to-day among the radicals. Tho speech of Senator Dixon and this Cabinet pronunciamento have completely annihilated the bantling of the Reconstruction Committee. [Correspondence New York World. The New York Tribune has the fol? lowing .speeiid despatch from Wash? ington: "The President has prohibit ed General Howard from &ivin^ any information relative to outrages com mitted by Southern whites on tin freedmen." The radicals are exceedingly Hur? ried about Mr. Stanton's position. The fact is, his remarks in Cabinet on the subject of reconstruction wen rather extended and very emphatic A Cabinet officer stated yesterday that not one of his associates woi?i . deny the verity of the report that ha: been published of the late Cabine meeting relative to restoration. I will be remembered, also, that sonn time since it was stated by a secretan that Mr. Stanton supported the Presi dent's policy of restoration. Tin radicals desire to interrogate him, bu are afraid. General Grant is not pleased wi tl the radicals. He does not appr?ci?t* their policy in rejecting tho nomina tiou of Colonel F. P. Blair, but de clares that to Blair more than to an; other man is owing tho fact that Mis souri did not secede. ARRIVAL OF MUS JEFFERSON DA VI AT FORTRESS MONROE.-The Norf ol] Virginian, of yesterday, thus notice tho arrival of Mrs. Davis at tho pri son house of her distinguished hus band, whom sho has not been permit ted to see for nearly a year: On her arrival she went to th Hygeir Hotel. After eating break fast she was called upon by Maje Muhlenbnrg, of the Fifth Unite States artillery, and subsequently b; Lieutenant Fessenden, of the sam regiment, and an aid on Genorc Miles' staff, who conveyed to her message from the General, and escort ed her into the Fortress. - What transpired after Mrs. Davi entered the Fortress is, of course unknown just ut present. Immediately on receiving th gratifying intelligence of the penni; sion allowed her by President Join son to visit her husband confine here, Mrs. Davis commenced gettin ready for her journey, and left Moi treal, where she has been stoppin for several weeks past, on Monda afternoon, at 3 o'clock. She made n stoppage on the way, but cam through direct, and made very quio traveling time. Tho conditions of her visit and til privilege which will be extended t ^er during its continuance, are sui jects of continual speculation. Shonl she remain hero any length ofjtiim she will probably make her home i the residence of Dr. Cooper, po: surgeon, near tho Fortress. . The small-pox prevails at Edg< ! field Court Hons.-. General Lee's Testimony-The Trae Policy to bo Pursued Toward thc South. The utmost that can reasonably be expected from a people situated like tho Virginians is such a political con? formity as Gen. Lee declared to exist. It is barely twelve months since these men were engaged in one of the most despera to wars of modern times-a war fought out to "the bitter end" with every circumstance of passion and fury. To expect that they should now look with positive affection on their conquerors, condemn their most eminent countrymen as traitors, and repudiate ns abominable the princi? ples for -which they sacrificed their fortunes and staked their lives, is be? yond all reason. It is enough if they know themselves beaten, if they accept the results without reserve, if they cherish no idea of deferred re? bellion, and if they aro prepared to return to their former position with a resolution to perform all their duties as citizens, and with a readi? ness to receive tho warmer impres? sions which time and intercourse may bring. These are actually the feel? ings with which Gen. Lee describes them as now animated. More, it must bo evident, could not be expect? ed; but if more is desired, it is mani? fest that the result can only be secured by that very policy which the Presi? dent has avowed, and which the radi? cals aro so fanatically opposing. If something is still to be done- -as no? body need deny-before a Virginian can look upon the Union as he looked ten years ago, it can only be accom? plished, as Gen. Lee affirmed, by liberal und conciliatory conduct on thc part of thc Government. If pas? sive acquiescence is to bc converted into cordial sympathy, it must be by kind and gene" nts treatment. The policy of the 1. teals is stultified by their own proft .ions. They pretend to desire a more sympathizing South than they have already got, and then, to improve the Southern feeling, they propose to inflict political disgrace on tho Southern people. They pro? nounce them to be still disaffected, or not sufficiently well affected, and by way of conciliating them would con? demn them to alienation and out? lawry. Such a policy stands self convicted, for its only result must be to make bad worse. It is not probable that a Virginian looks upon the Government of the Uuion exactly like a New Englander; no reasonable person would expect that he should do so. It is enough for the purposes of prudent recon? struction, if the States lately in se? cession have abandoned all ideas of independence, and are prepared to make the best of their position as members of the Union once more. The rest ?must necessarily he a work of time; but it will be accomplished most speedily, as well as most surely, through such a policy as the Presi? dent now advocates. Ile does not de? sire to swamp the South \* ith a swarm of black voters, nor to place the negro in a position of invidious and perilous antagonism toward the white man. He asks only for simple professions of political honesty. He stipulates that the Southern States shall forego their views of secession, j acknowledge and confirm the aboli? tion of slavery now and forever, deal fairly with thc enfranchised slaves, and repudiate the debt contracted for the purpose of the rebellion. To these conditions, they are willing to assent, and the President would open the doors of Congress to them, and so restore the Union. "What his op? ponents desire, or profess to desire, we may collect from the examination to which Gen. Lee was subjected. They demand impossibilities; for it is simply absurd to require that the South should humbly and thankfully kiss thc rod after the fashion they prescribe. Tho policy of the Presi? dent, on thc other hand, is a policy not only of moderation, but of pro? mise. It bids fair to bring back the South to those sentiments of perfect concord which the radicals pretend to demand. It is Gen. Lee's opinion that such a policy, aided by the in? dispensable co-operation of time, will really produce this effect; but it needs no argument to show that a policy of provocation and oppression, conti? nued after victory, must intensify and perpetuate that very hostility which it is intended to entinguish. [London Times, April 1?. MORE FORGERIES.-Wall street has been afforded another sensation in the announcement that a broker, having an office in Exchange place, had committed a series of forgeries, amounting to several hundred thou? sand dollars, and that hu had left New York in the Persia, which sailed on the 2d.

This will give the tom^e ? iront of 131 feet on Charles stre?t, with a depth of 150 feet to a 53 foot street. The work of tearing down the two dwellings heretofore purchased has already commenced, and possession of the last purchase is to begin on the first of June. The Temple is designed to be not less than 80 feet in height, marble front, the first story to be oc? cupied as elegant stores, the second as a largo concert saloon, and the balance of the building to be used by tho Order as lodge-rooms, ?vc.

The hail storm which passed over Baltimore, on Tuesday night, was one of the most remarkable meteoro? logical phenomena of the kind ever witnessed.

In the testimony reported on the 2d, from the Committee on Recon? struction, General Sheridan's evi ! dence as to affairs in his department is gi von.
