No doubt an eflf.,rt rill soon be made to reorsane the State governments in Louisiana, Arkansas and Tennessee, and as military governors are not particnlar. in case there are not a sufficient number of loa fide voters, enough loyal soldiers can be supplied to make p the deficiency. It ought to te an easy matter to raise 4.000 loval voters in Louisiana, 5.000 in Arkansas, and 15,000 in Tennessee, If Mobile should le c ptured during the present winter, enough or Mississippi might fall into our possession toclude 7.000 loyal voters, and if General Banks keeps ahead at his ; present rate-Texas with 6,000 votes is not an impossibility before the coming Bummer. Senator Sebastian of Arkansas. There have been reports circulated for some time that it was the intention of Senator Sebastian, of Arkansas, to resume the se: t in the Senate of the United States which he held previous to the secession of hi State. A correspondent of the St. Louis Republican, who has lately bad a conversation with Mr. Sebastian, Corrects the report, as follows. He says: ; He received u with cordiality, and express ed himself without reserve. It is not presumed that he said anything which he would be - unwilling to see in print, and hnce our summary of his conversation.1 fie declared lu'm- pelf in favor of reunion on honorable terms, under the sacred old "Union as it was. and the Codalitution as it is." "But," said he, "I have no seat in.the Senate. I was exfelled by resolution which" was passe On the falne ! statement that I was at the time Colonel of a rcWl regiment." He denied that he ever participated in the rebellion in any way whatever; "bat," said he, "I cannot put myself in the position of going to Washington as a mendicant for a seat in the Senate." He also' criti cised the policy of the Government, and said he. "the President's proclamation has made roe a poor man." The description he gave of the desolation which the war has brought with it to the people of the south was both impressive and affecting; and indeed three days stay in Helena enabling as to see with our own eyes and hear with our own ears, the sad story of human suffering as concerning this people, moved our heart in sympathetic sorrow over such calamities. Hight Have Been Written Yesterday. "Tin Samnel Johnson's Papers, in the LUer, in 1759, says the Enquirer, occurs the follow-inng. which is. so applicable ihat it might have ben written yesteniay with equal truth in this country lie says : " In a time of w.ir the nation is alw.iys of one mind. eagr to hear sometbing goo. I of themselves anil ill of the enemy. At tlun time the task of news writing is easy ; they have nothing to do but to tell that a battle has been fas ght. in which we and our friends. whether conquering or couquereJ, d.d all, and Oftr enemies nid nothing. Scarcely any thing awakens attention like j ft tale of cruelty. The writer of news never fade in the intermission of action, to tell bow the enemy mnrdered children;, and' ravished virgins; and. if the scene of action be somewhat distant, scalps half the- inhabitaiua of a province. ; . " Among the calamities of war mav be just ly numbered the diminution of the love of truth, by the falsehools which interest die- tats and credulity eiKtoorage. A peace will j equally level the warrior and relator of ware destitute of employment; and I know not .whether more ta to bo dreaded front streets filled wUh soldiers acostoinl to plunder, or . from garrets filled with scribblers aecosiomed to lie." A ' I "Startling from Ireland." : Under this head one of the Svm York' pa-para pobl'ishee the following The Cork e-tpaour, a well in formed paper, pablishea some rather startling news. It say a : A rumor ia being spread through various parts of the voaatry that Ireland is on the eve of a revolution' or rebellion. The signal for rising is to b the landing in some of our bay or harbors 'of an armament from America,' provided with fen ample supply of arms and all the other munitions of war for the use of those, who yearn t&row offthe .'yoke of the Saxon.' It ia ho believed that there is at this motneot ex-Isting io Ireland a secret society, having its feeadqaartera in Dublin, and branches in Cork, Yralee, and alj the other principal towns of the Jkluz&omi, This society, it ia said, ia at this Srei7 jnenl actively engaged in organising the people, and preparing them for theantict--pated invaaion, having tliem taught military drill whenever Practicable. rhna,; ther will be fitted to avail themselves of the arms that a hall h claced f their handa by their friends.

The freedom of' retigiofts worship has been violated on repeated occasions by the interference of military officers. X. The right of States to the management of their mili tia has been taken from them by the Conscription act, which places the whole military power of the country at the disposal of the President. A XI. The formation of the Sate of West Virginia was a violation of the 3d section of the 4th article of the Constitution. " XII. The heretofore ondixpnted right of the people to elect their legislators and rulers h been taken from them, and the will of ma-jor'tie disregarded, an is abundantly manifested in the manner in which elections have recently been carried by the grossest corruption in Northern States, and by military orders in the Border States of the So uth." . Slightly Down on the Abolitionists. The editor of the Louisville Journal, after copying the magnificent philippic of the Hon. Henry Clay against the Abolitionists, delivered in the United States Senate in 1839, adds: " Not even the penetrating glance of Mr. Clay, though intensified by a noble indignation, could fatlioni the real malignity of the Abolitionists. He. indeed, described them an political demons ; but they have proved themselves even worse than he described tl ern. Milton, in Paradise Iiost, represents the archfiend a bursting into tears upon beholding the innumerable-npirita whom he had involved in tlie.same guilt and ruin with himself: " Tears, such as agels weep, burst forth." "But the -.'.Abolitionists, though standing themselves at a safe distance from the ruin in which they have involved others, manifest no such signs of compassion for their victims. They are more, pitiless than the arch-fiend, under circumstances more favorable to a gleam of pity." . ,; A ' Revolt among Colored Troops. The Boston Courier has the followinginfor--mntion from its New Orleans correspondent, who write on the 12lh : Our military authorities have just had a foretaste of their wisdom in entrusting important military posts its "colored troops," by a revot at Fort Jackson which the newspapers in this department.; "by authority," will inform you was "only .an--altercation between an otfi-er and some of l he men: and soon qui-, eted." I have my ; information from the lips of the officer in command of that poet, th.s garrison of which coneisred of five hundred colored soldiers and officers and 20 white men, (though some of the colored men ere as white as some of their white officers) and so serious had become the revolt that the officers themselves declare that had they attempted to exercise anr authority over their command ev- ery the wbite roan would have been killed, and negroes have been in possession of the forts which the United Stales Government so much of life and treasare and so many months delay to get into our own hands. It has been decided that this rertment of "colored men" must be "mustered out of the service." in eon-ecqnew of this "altercation between as officer and some of the inra."

The following is an extract , from private letter said to have been written by General Gbakt to Hon. , B. WA88Bt7aasof HUnois, onder date of the 13tb of August 1853. 1 - " A The people of the North need not qoaitel over the iastitotioo of Iaverr. ;Wht Vice President Stephens acknowledges aa the corner atone of the Confederacy, is already dead, and cannot be resurreeted.

It ia well that we can have this last gift to mankind that was left in Pandora's bx, for we must have experienced all thai evils that were pent: upin that treacherous present to Epimetheas from the Olympian Jove. Says the Journal: It is a consoling and ever cheering reflection that the Radicals of the country would not so grossly . calumniate the Conservative but for dread of conservatism. JJetweef radicalism and conservatism oo the naked issue of their respective claims, radicalism would stand no earthly chance before the people.-This the Radicals well knew. Hence, they deem it necessary to obscure the issue, which tbev endeavor to accomplish through immeas-orall. cal u m ny II y pocrisy, aays Rochefoucauld, 'is a sort of homage that vice pays to virtue." We may fit? adapt this saying to the subject in hand. Calumny is a sort of homage that radicalism pays to conservatism.'" It is indeed hard to conceive hew any rational and patriotic man can give his voice and influence to swell the deadly power of radicalism. Can any such man doubt that the only salvation of the country is by the union of the American: people around the conservative standard f It is universally conceded, as a contemporary says, that Union at the North is necessary to success. W hat is success I We answer : Peace and the restored power of the Constitution and the.; Union. That is complete success. Why is there a division at the North? Because the Radical- party boldly proclaim their intention to oppose the restoration of the Union, or any Union with Blaveholding States. .They assert that there can be no peace with slavery. On the other hand the Conservative party believe that a simple, steadfast adherence to the Constitution will give us peace, and. what we want, the Union. On which platform is it easier to u lite? On which is success more likely to be achi ved? The Radical platform requires us to abandon the Constitution, ahamiou the principles of concession and compromise, on which our very Govern mgn- rests, and go into a crusade for the establishment of a new Union, a new Government an unknown structure existing onlv in the dreams of enthusiasts, to be founded on the ruins of the best and- noblest structure which was ever erected by human hands. The other platform, the conservative idea, proposes to save the old structure in all its glory, marred somewhat by this terrible experience through which it will have passed, hut substantially the same Union of which Washington and his companions were the founders. On this platform every patriotic American can atandfc , ?nght to : stand, mat stand, if we wouhf win that suticess for which we stri ve. ' The wild folly which for more than a year was permitted to cry 'treason, treason,' at every voice raised -for the Constitution has leen hushed. The accusation p disloyally hurled at the men who stood firm for the old Union has recoiled on those who were insidiously, plotting to--destroy if. The eyes of the whole country are now fixed on conservative men for help, advice, guidance. All oonfi dence in radical men and radical measures is gone. They are kno-vn tobentter failures. They have sacrificed too much of blool and treasure. The people are bioou ng of one mind. What an intense relief would tue whole oountrv feel to-day if it were known that some trusty conservative was 'to .he Preeitient of tlie Tjnitef States by constitutional successionto-morre-w I Acting under the advice of sneh men. the people will preserve the present Administration in power, patiently bearing with its infirmities, protesting firmly against its errors, and in the right time will restore the Constitution to conservative protection, Then will legiii again the story of American greatness. Villainous Conduct. The wife of an officer in the army, living in Williar- son county, Illinois, recen ly : received from her husband a package containing seveu hundred dollars, a portion of which belonged to the families of soldiers living in that vicinity. A few days after the receptiou of the money thre carae a. sink soldier to the hooe of the officer's wife and asked permission to remain over night. The woman refused, hot the soldier iot-idling, she finally consented. Danng the night toe family were aroosed by the violent knocking of parties outside, who demanded the door to be opened, and if not opened, they would break is down ; that -the oficer a wife had a lot of money and they were boa ad to have it. The woman was terrified, and, giving the woaey to the soldier inside, ee-creled herself and ber children, when the soldier exclaimed, in a voice load ecoagh to be heard by tb it la ins oatside. "1 am ooarmod. bat it I bad a pirtol I woJd fix the villains.' The door was then burst .open, and ten men, diagnised aa aegroe. entered the house. Five shots were instantly fired at them wiling tore of the party and wounding another, the . remainder fled. : The blacking having been washed from the faeee of tb dead, they ; were discovered to bo the woman's nearest neighbor one of them . her brotlr in-law.

The Richmond Press on the President's -2lessaff8 and Proclamation. A From the Biehaond Sentinel (Jeff Davis special " " organ.) December 14.J ; :i ABKAKAK'e VKS&OK AKD PROCLAMATION. Supposing our readers have a curiosity to see the late message of President Lincoln to his Congress, and presuming that Lincoln wants our people to see how graciomt he is, and what a loving proclamation he has issoed to us all in Dixie, we publish both in otir inane to day. Whenever the British envoys wished to tempt our fathers in the Revolution by their proffers of amnesty, the Continental Congress always assisted in giving their proclamations a wide circulation, for not only did Congress confide in the loyalty of the. people, hnt they considered those papers as calculated to- animate the popular patriotism. A hu ndred times stronger are oar res eons for expecting this renult now. Nver did British Commiraiouer General, m all bisarronnre nut forth so impodent a m escape as the Washington man has sent down to us. He is going to forgive us something, it seeme on certain terms. To the most liberal, unqnalified - an i ail embracing offer of forgiveness to oar fathers. Dr. Franklin replied : "We who have com initted no offense need ho forgiveness." Our answer would be the same, even if Lincoln's offer imitated the humaaitv of Britain's.. Forgive us what ? Forgive oa because he has invaded our States with armed multitudes, to overthrow our laws, destroy our liberties, compass our destruction f Forgive us becatfse he has plundered our 66X3 and ravaged oor Coasts? Forgive as for having burned our towns and desolated oor homes. Forgive as fyr the many thousands of our brothers and eons and dear friends whom he has slain opon our own soil, and while repelling his invasion 7 Forgive us for the many dear motilatedonea who will re mam, the legacy of the war, when the. war is over f Forgive us for having -outraged even the sensibilities of Europe, by his attempt 'to excite servile revolt? Forgive ns for his Beast Butler, a d for the thousand attrocitiee which be haslet lose against as ? "-''--' ; He may forgive us for these his crime; bat so long as we have hearts to feef a ad hands to strike we shall never forgi.e him. " JIow impodent it is to come, with oar brothers blond opon his accursed handa and ask oa to accept his forgiveness 1 -But he -goes farther. ; He makes bia forgiveness dependent upon terms. iVe have only to ewear obedience to hie will.
