It is the universal testimony or all inen who have talked with the natural leaders of 9ke South that riteir language is frank and their conclusions those-of reason. "We held tin opinion as to the relation of the States to each other unde the Constitution we fomgh, for .that o.inir ; we would like to have estab' lished it ; we werg, h-atel in hit t.h-, as we were, heaten before battle-hy nttm liers; we nccepf thu situafion frunkl',v and are prepnred to be just. as loyal and devoted L.o the Unite d States as we were to the Sonthern ',ofeerney- It is a natter of no itmtpotrttvng whether we had reason on onr side or not ; iU is ntlicibut that we had not strength."' ' It seems wonderful that there i no fueling of hate agaiist its, bbcause these men in ti.eir hearts believe themselves to ho the injutreJt party ; bit upon ex itiniaation the winder disappears. The conteat between til free, and slaves States wts, to a, large extetit, upon a pointof honor ; consequently the war par',ook of tOe natyre of a duel.. In that species of redresa there is very rarely *gnf hirking hostikiy., even on the part of the' wounded man. The combat is a tribunal, and its decision is accepted as final. We Qwn ourselves to be surprised at the perfect and ,universal acq uie nettco of the Southern'teople. It is far beyond what we dared, to hope It is a strong proof of'the supremely practical nature of the American mit'd. No repining, .no sudionness, but a complete cast ing behind of the past, and . bending all the energies to the futtie ' Th'intelligence - of the youthebrn leaders compi-ehended dhe situation at once, sad acted upon it iAntantly, . n much', political sagacity, so mjich) pracical good senqe, have never before been displayed in -similar ciroum stances. The Times seems to think.thit these pheiomenta arise from a want of earnest conviction; but that is not the ease. ,They arise- from rapidity of perception.

The following extracts from a letter to Mr. Ould, from Lient. Col. Albert Ordway, -of the 24th Mass. Regiment, ProvosI Marshal General at Richmond, describes these reasons: "Sir: I have the honor to inform you that the Military Commission appointed to investigate the cause of your arrest, and deterntine whether any charge could be brought against. you,. have fin ished their labors, and recommend your immediate release. Upon this recommendatiou of the Military Commission, Major General Halleck, con ianding Military Division of the James, orders vour release from arrost. I liave the honor to comm'nu niciate this decision to yo.;, to inform vou that from this date your arrest eeases, and that your parole to report ver- other day at this offi,-e is now void. I may afford some satisfaction to you to know itnt the report of the Military Conmmiasioa not only relieves ) on front the charges bromtlt against. yo, hut states that the evidence is that von did every thing in your power to restore to Union prisoners the money belonging to them and to allevmte their suffei'ngs.' [Boston Journal. The argument for-delay in reorganizing the Southern States may be-very sound, but it. comes too late. Provisional Governors are a ppointed and the process of reorganization is going ony. It would bo mo.st unreasonable to' expect the President to arrest the procesa and recall the proclamations ie, has just made, and that., too. on the mere hypothesis that the Southern people are ready to resume their rights and duties as citizens in the spirit of loyalt-y' There are two courses now open for the people 'of the North. One is to anq uiesce in the Prlsidet's policy, and eudenvor by all honor'able awl proper means to make it'sniecessful. The other is to embarrass and hinder it by stirring up il-feeling and disaficctiom in the South. There can be no liberty of choie in this matter, among patriotic men. And thero can be no demand for the reduction of the Southern States to a territorial condition till they har6 proved them. selyes incapable of loyal self-governtent. If we can perauade them to extend the sulfage to all intelligent citizens, withonut regard to race or color, very well ; if not, we must wait for the slow progress of social amplioration at the South, as we have wamted and still wait for it in the Notth.-Siringfield Republican.
