The.Provisional Governors appointed
by President Johitson for this important
work of restoring the Southern States to
their civil relatidns, on a constitutional
basis, have without exception, approved
themselves singularly. wqll ,adopted to
their positions. Their action, in the first
steps, has, in overy case, been discrect,
temperate nrad conservative, They have
adopted the wise policy of interfering as
little as. possible with those things which
enter into the character, history and in
stitutione of each State, which were es
tablished in other times and are adapted
to existing conditious. - In one direction
they must build anew, and radic*ally, but
in others they find the result of much
valuable work, which only requires to
be left alone. Belonging to the States
which they have been appointed to tem
porarily govern, tiese Provisional Gov.
ernors have entered upon their dtdles
with a knowledge of the people and of
the local laws and necessities which is of
the highest advantage to them, and the
fruits of which have already appeared
in their measures and messages. 'While
unequivocally loyal ii every action and
word, they do not unnecessarily stir up
popular prejudices, or bear about the
mien of conquerors. They all proclaim
unflinchingly, however, that slavery. is
totally and forever abolished, and aid
energetically in the reconstruction of the
new social state upon the basis of univer
sal freedom.
All the Provisional Governors of the
States on this side of the Mississippi
River have, moreover, the good fortune
of being popular in their respective
States. Governor Holden, of North
Carolina; and Gov. Perry of South Caro
lina are both gentlemen who have been
leaders of the progressive party, and
who have been widely known as men of
iability and character ; while Gov. John.
son, of Georgia; Gov. Parsons, of Ala
bama and Gov. Sharkey, of Mississippi,
iave long been recognized in their native
States as men of unblemished reputa
tion, of'high principle and of great ca
picity.
In the initial steps which these officers
have taken, and in the others whioh they
are about to take, lie the most difficult
part of their work, and the most difficuli
r part of the great labor of reconsti-uction.
If they manage in the future with the
discretion and justice which have charac
terized their first movements, they will
have reflected honor upon themselvea
and done eminent service to their coun
try.
MosBY's MOvEMENTs.-Colonel J.
S. Mosby left Alexandira on Thursday
evening for his home in Warrenton.
there to remain until further orders of
the War Department. Such was the
excited feelings, it is said, against him on
the part of the citizens and soldiers, that
his life was in danger while he remained
in Alexandria, several persons, whom
he had deeply wrouged during the war,
having armed themselves to kill him.

Southerners in qqzest or pardon is Fay

STERLING PRIOE, oENBAt. PAnSONS
&c.
Major General Terrpn, who has just t
atrived in tlis city frim the Militvry. Di;
vision of the Gulf, gives its some inform. 4
tion which will *correct an error that is -v
' :nerally, if not universally, prevalent t
throughout the North. It is in rela' t
tion to the removal of late Conft-derate d
soldiers to Mexico, with tho intention of t
taking part in the contest by which that
-unfortunate country is still distracte.d.
Being just from Shreveport where lie re.
ceived the sirrinder of the bulk of Kir- t
by Smith's army, and where he was t
brought into contact with Confederates t
of every rank, he is of course enabled to ,
speak advisedly.
Instead of the seven or eight, thous
tnd Missourians who are said ,to have
accompanoiad Shelby .beyond the' Rio
Grande, that otlicer was followed it
jeems, by a scanty band oftw o hu'ndred.
Their purpose, as well as their leader's,
was to join not Maximilian, as has been
reported, but Juarez and te liberal
cause. Missourians' and men from se
ceded States, will not exceed a few hun.
dred in number, all told. Like the
former, they iesigned to cast bheir
swords into th scale against Maximil.
ian, and the French. and Austrians con
tingents by whom he is supported.
This, he says, is the purpose of all con
federates who hIs ve s6ught or may seek
a hand in the m litaryalffairs of Mexico.
Their motive in siding with tho liberal
party is one of Cie resentments towards
Louis Napoleon, who so grievously dis.
appointed their hopes of intervention
against the United States in the contest
from which they have just emerged. - A
partial revenge, they -now.think, is at.
tainable by expelling his protege from t
Mexican soil, and they will do their best
to bring about such a result. Others 1
p omn this motive did not operate, t
expressAd a willhmnes to go out of pare
regard fAr the principle of the. Monroe
doctrine, and thought that all inter
lopers upon American soil ought to be
driven off.
Sterling Price is in Texas with his
family, and entertains no idea of going
to Mexido. It is- not improbable that
he may return to Missouri at no distant
day. General Monroe M. Parsons has
also located in Texas for the purpose of
practicing law. Gen. Churchill, who
was captured originally at Arkansas
Post, together w'th Buckndr1 Bragg %ad
Beauregard, are in New Orleans-n'one
of them thinking of removing perma
nently from 'he Utiited States. Gen.
eral Churchill expresses a wish to go to
Europe to remain a limited time abroad.
DREADFUi . DISASTER.-A dreadful
disaster occurred oi Lake Huron on
last Wednesday evening. The steam.
boats Pewabic and Meteor, both running
at full speed, the former going south
ward and the latter northward, collided
with a fearful crash. The Pewabie was
completely stove in on one side, and so
disabled that she sank in three or four
minues after the collision, carrying down
with her about one hundred peirsons
She had on board from~ one hundred arid
seventy-five to twro hud:W pssengers,
about one hlfU of whoni were saved by
the Meteor, which was very lit tl damn
aged. It was scarcely dark at the time,
and each of the boats hadl previousaly,
been visible to persons on board of the
other when they. were yet six mile,
apart.

WADR HAMPTON'S TESTIMONY. -
Wade Hatnpton, the noted cavalry 'offi.
er, has been giving the people of his
3tate-South Carolina-some very good
6dvice. It will be remembered that on
lie occasion of Johnston's surrender in
4orth Carolina, Hampton was intens
y disgusted, and *:imuifested a <lisposi!
lon to takn Ole whole Co'afederacy on
iS shoilders, like a moderi Atlas, and
Ight. the North on his own hook.
lohnston paid no attention to him, how.
wver, and Wade started off, with his le.
rion, and did not surrender until Dick
'aylor gave up the ghost in the West.
But Wade has at last come to terms,
ind.talks sensibly, although his language
astill tinctured with considerable bitter
ness against the Government. He tells
his late brethren to give tip the foolish
iotion or expatriatipq themselves by
smigrating to a foreign contry. He
lays:
"Myadvice to all may fellow-citlsons
is this : they should devote their whole
energies to the restoration of law and
erder, the re-establishment of agricul
ture and commerce, the promotion. of
education, and the re-bulding of our
cities and dwellings which have been
laid in ashes. To accomplish these ob.
jectA-the highest that patriotism can
conceive-I recommend that, all who
can do so'should take the oath of alle.
giance to the United States Govern
ment, so that they may participate in the
restoration of civil governn'ent to our
State."
This is the best advice that we have
yet heard froin a leading ex-rebel, and
if the people of South Carolina consult
their own interests they will certainly
olb low it.--New York .Sun.
