COTTON IS KING.-The Secretar
of the Treasury, Mr. McCulloch, i
his Fort Wayne speech, spoke of
redundancy of the currency and of
possibility that "we should wake u
some fine morning and find our prc

less than at present." This speec
was delivered nearly seven monti:

of the "waking up" which the Seer?

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

fear any "waking up"' as to thc val

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

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.

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.
