RECONSTRUCTION. Military Government Bill. An exciting struggle has been going on in Congress for several days on the aubjeet of lteconstruction. Mr. Stevens' bill providing for the military government of the rebel States, which passed tbo House of Iteprescntative?, and which in many respects we deem objectionable, was amended in the Strrmto so as to require uni

versal suffrage in tbo Southern fetales and the ratitieation of tbe Constitutional Amendmcntas conditions precedent to their admision to teprescntatlon. Tho following is a synopsis of Mr. Sherman Substitut for Mr. Stevens' bill, as it passed the Senate t , The preamble declares" that no legal Stats governments or adequate protection for life or property exist in the rebel States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Arkansas; and tbat it is necessary that peace and good order should be enforced until loyal and republican Stato governments can bo legally established. , ; Section 1 divides tbe States named into five military districts, as in tbo original bill. . - . Section makes it tbo duty of tbo President to owign to command in each district an ofticcr of tho army not below tbo rank of Uripidier General, and to detail a sufficient military forco to enforco his authority within the district, &c. Section 3 mahc it tho duty of such officer to protect all persons in their rights of person and property, to suppress insurrection, disorder and violence, and to punih or caiue to be punUhcd ill disturbers of the public peace and all criminals. He may allow tbo local and civil tribunals to try and punih offenders, or organiio cornraittccH or tribunals for that purpose. All interference and Stato authority is declared null and void. Section 4 provides tint all persons arretted shall bo tried without unnecessary delay. No cruel or ununual punishment shall bo indicted, ' nd no sentence affecting life or liberty shall bo executed until approved by tho o ninnandcr of the district. Section & provides that when the pccplo of any one of said States shall have formed i constitution and government in conformity with tho Constitution of tbe Unitod Statcn in all respects, framed by a convention of dclesnto elected by tbo male citizens of said State twentyone years old and upward, of whatever race, color or Srevious condition, who have been restents in said Stato for one year previous to tbe day of said election, excopt such as may bo disfranchised for participation in tbe rebellion, or for felony at common law, and when such constitution shall provide tbat tho electivo franchise shall, bo enjoyed by all such persons as have the qualifications herein statod for electors of delegates; and when such constitution shall be ratified by a majority of persons voting on the question of ratification who are qualified as electors for delegates; and when such constitution shall have been submitted to Congress for examination and approval, and Congrcsx shall have opproved the same ; and when said State, by a tote of its Legislature elected under said constitution, fchrfil have adopted tho amendment to the Constitution of tho United States proposed by tbo Thirty-ninth Congress, and known as Article II, and when said article shall have been declared port of tho Constitution of the United States, said State thall bo entitled to representatives in Congress, and Senators and I'eprccntativcs shall be admitted therefrom on their taking the oath pre scribed by law ; and then and thereafter tbo preceding tactions of this act shall bo inoperativo iu said State. In the House, when tho bill camo from tho Senate in tbo shape of an amendment to the lloui-o military bill, Mr. Stevens troved to non concur in it. A general debato then opened. Meiers. Doutwcll and Stevens denouueed tho Senato plan, whilo Messrs. Blaine, Diogbum, WiUon, Ainsworth and Dakcr favored it. Tbe Democrats did not participate in tho debate, but voted with Stevens and twentyfivo other Ilcpublicans ngiiust ordering tbo prcious qucbtion. The House met promptly at 11 o'clock on the llUh inst., and in pursuance of tho agreement made, proceeded to vote at once on the question of accepting tho Senato reconstruction bill in lieu of tho one which pnhcd the Homo. Tho voto stood 7.1 to 1)3. IJvcry Democrat but Ilouefcau voted against tho bill. The result win immediately sent to the Senate, with tho rcqucnt that a Conference Committco adjust the dicngrecment. Tho bill wos Immediately taken up in tho Senate, whero a three hours' debato followed, l'iually tho Sonate (cfii'cd the Conference Committee, and rent tho bill buck to Iho IIoumo, Instating on Its pttnijf. Tho Hmt'o then rcfu-cd to reconsider It vuto tU.-igictft'g ti the ir'cnato hilf, and thus matters were brought to a dead luck, deferring to tho situation of affairs, tho Cmnnurciul of Wednesday last soys; Tho Thad.

Tho following brief biographical sketch of James A. Lowes, lato of White Water Township, Franklin County, Indiana, bas bcoo handed us for publication, and we cheerfully pay this slight tribute of respect to ono of the best of mon: The subject of this notieo was of ScotchIrish parentage. Ilia father, Janus Lowe, emigrated to this country from' Antrim County, In tho North of Ireland, in tho year 1775. The revolutionary war commencing soon after bis arrival, be entered tho army of tho United Colonics to aid them in their struggle for independence, and hold for a titiu the offieo of Lieutenaut. He Was subsequently warrUd to .Inno Andrew, and sti id in Somerset Co., N. J. In tlto year 1717 ho camo with his family of four tons and one daughter to Ciociunati, which was then a village, containing littli elso than a few log cabins, and the entire country northwest of the Ohio river was almost an unbroken wilderness. He immediately settled upon a tract of laud which ho purchased in the neighborhood of Springfield, now Sptingdi!e, . twelve ' miles north of Cincinnati. During his residence thero ha was connected with tho Presbyterian church at Springdale. He died in tho year 1810. Jatncs A. Lowes, tho second son, was born in Somerset Co., N. J., in tbe year 1781, and came with hi father when he removed wcat in 17U7, being tbon 13 years Of 00. Ho mode apublio profession of religion when ho was quite young. This occurred during tho time that elapsed after a part of tho church of Springdale, with their paitvr, Ilcv. John Thompson, had gone with the New Ights, and beforo tho return of Mr. Thnmson to the Presbyterian church. He, however, united with that part of tho church thut had remained, and was among thoho who welcomed back their former ptistor ou his return auin to tho true faith. , Ho was worried in tbo year 1S12 to Mary Andrew, and lived for some timo on tho farm thut had belonged to his father. He was for a short timo in tho army in tbo war of 1812. In the year 1818 he tneved to Franklin Co., Ind., and tcttlcd ou tha farm where bo continued to rcsido till bis death. After bis removal to Indiana bo connected himself with tho church of Harrison, in Hamilton Co., 0. About the year 1R21 be was clocted and ordained us n ruling older in that church. A lew years afterwards tho church at Mt. Curmcl having teen organized ho transferred bid connection Jo that-xLurcli and was immediately elected us i lulin;; hier theie. In Iho year 1S3-, during tho ptihtornte of IIv. S. Scovct, he returned to tho Harrifon church, and was elected to bis former cilice as ruling elder. A very warm attachment existed between him and Mr. Scovol. Jioth bavo now gono to their reward, and may wo not believe to renew tho friendship so ardent and so long existing here on- earth? In tho car 18 iG bo onto uioro . transferred bis connection to the Mt. Curmcl church, and was again eloctcd as ruling elder, in which position bo continued until bis death.

C, Feb. 13, 18ü7. Mr. Jllitor,- W'hatevcr way be the beauties or bidden virtues of tho bid Democracy, it bas some hideous deformities and somo appalling scrsps of history. Its record during tbe war is that which should make all who have sacrificed for the integrity of tho country thriuk from its embrace. Rut could all the past bo forgotten, tho workings of some of tbo members of tho old wrecked vessel, iu Congress, exhibit too plainly tl.o truth that its I'm tunc wcro linked imlioöoUlly with tbo rebellion. Yesterday, in jn animated discussion, Mr. Harding-(lrat) tit' Kentuoky, U reported to l.uv ml. J,, amurg otl.c'i- iiifaruom things, "ilitt of the criminals in the Northern States had Lvcn in tho Federal army, and that was quite natural, bocause, a a ralo, good men did not drift into the nrtuy." TMs is tho wail tbat comes from the wrccw, in the effort to save the Democracy and tbo ruined Confederacy. Rut with all this insult to the j'nl men who rhked their lives to save our Ropublie, the sentiment of the people is not for a moment chunked from its steady purposo of standing where it utood during tho years of tho bloody conflict. Such dying groans as tbiu. will havo no other effect than to sink tktir authors dcon in tho stou"h of public condemnation: and if Democrats and Democratic prenscs do not disavow any sympathy with such, they too will find the load lar too heavy to be borne. , - Wcro I in cbaro of a Democratic paper, and had any ambition to raiso it from the depths of di.igraeo to which it bad sunk, in opposing tbo war and trying to heap odium on Union soldiers, i would chango leaders get out of tho old ruts with my cart abu:.t buch Democracy us Kentucky Democracy read such Democrat ns Harding out of tho party claim (hut the soldiers of the Föderal army wero honorable, ,good cud bnvu and claim further, and oontcud that nil such soldiers, of whutuver color, wcro worthy of tho protection of our Government; and if rebels would not accord thut 'protection to them,' I would udvocute that every power of ihn Government hhould bo exhausted, if need be, to niako them; being careful all tho timo to bavo it distinctly understood thut uo nigger should ir.airy my daughter. 1 would contend further that colored soldiers should vote, if necessary for their protection from unjuot aud unequal laws; that thin Government should protect u citizen on it K-wir soil a perfectly u a citizen abroad; nhcrcf'jro if rebel govornmcnti would uk p.ott, Lut would murder Union iuen of whatever color, tho Gcncrul Govcvnniorit hhould undertake tho work of tbclfproteeiion, and thut speedily, even mora speedily than this radical Congress is doing. Rut iu advocating all this, in order to bo held an orthodox Dcmocrutio editor, 1 would stoutly contend that no itigcr should ever marry my daughter, if all the above should not bo at once popular, it would bo in time, though it might sound strano iu a Democratic paper. , 1 cannot be mistaken in supposing that Democracy itself will, in timo, bo driven to icknowlodge tho good character and patriotism of the soldiors of tho Federal Army.

During a con.iderablo portion of that season, tbo remark approaches tho truth, in many respects at leaet. rsothln rcTtbapsiri this brnutiful World of ours can bo more delightful, or 11 1 1 tlto .soul wjth emotions mcro thrilling,' than to view, fi otii sotiio prominent point, tho beautiful toencry that presents' iticlf to the eye on every band.

Lovely croves aro intersperse 1 hero aud thero over tto wild, rolling prairies, like tho welcome ocsi cf the desert, to break tho monotony of tbo scene.. As you view them in tho dinf.m'.o neroM the prairie, whero nothing intervene .to obstruct thq sight, they rppear komo of them, cot more than i mile or (wo away., bot , jficr having traveled that distanco toward them, you appear no neurcr to them than when you ttuitod, aud when you bavo, reached their cooling shades you will find that you have traveled perbap some ix or eight miles. Persons unaccustomed to thQpruities can form no correct eitiwato of tho distance of. object across them. , ' From some points the white. houses of some plensent liulo town, miles away to the West, may be distinctly seen glutening in the gorgeous light of. the morning sun. Streams of clear, cool water aro keen winding along beautiful valleys, wbono banks ore skirted hoio and (hero by sbady proves of timber, with tall grass and wild (lowers growing to the wuter's edp;o. In and around most of tho grovci ktrawburric abound in rich profusion. Other terries may bo found there, but ttrawbmie uro mot abundant.

Tho laborer ii seized with a fcickvninx, tainting sensation, the pci.-piraiion streams IVoiu ccry poro, hard labor becomes intpo.-ib!e, und life it.-ulf almost a burdon. Thunder-storms aro frequent, and often fiereo and terrific. There is much more thunder tli ui o than iu this part of the country, and it appears much louder. Frequently ubout two or thrco o'clock iu tho afternoon, us you. look away across the wide, fcrocn pastures tu tbo Went, you notice a line cf dark, ominou? looking clouds, stretching nlon tho horizon,. : and the deep-toned tlnlnbcr, whoso dismal. found soon reaches tho car, tells you of au approaching storm. For hour it docs not appear much neuter than at Cr?t, but it is gradually rising and moving lowly , t ward the Jvist, seemingly gathering force us it moves in mnjestio grandeur on. Tho thunder become louder and more ffequont until it sometimes rejjuibW distant cannonading. Meanwhile a brisk wind ii blowing in tho direction of tho approaching storm. Rater in tho evening thero i fr a few minutes a calm.. Now the wind changes, and tho storm that h lingered so long, rushes on with frightful impetuosity. The yceno is grand, 'insjostie, tcriible; the -clouds uro os black ns night; tho lightning tl.i.shcs in every diruction; tho loud, lnrp peals of thunder uro constant und terrifying; and for hours, frequently, this war in the elements keeps up a continued din of confusion,-' Thero is frequently a week of continual torms, and sometime,! they continue for two weeks, ono, and eometiines two, in ulmost every twenty-four hours. They generally occur at some particular poriod of iho day or ntht. l-'arly in tho fall, tho farmers begin to mow dowu tho luxuriant grass for winter feed. Herds of cattle roam over tho thousands of acres of wild pntnro, find aro frequent ly driven from iho prairies and slaughtered without any ntbor fted. Notwithstanding tho numerous hcrd.s of cuttlo feeding nil summer on the.o pralrio.i, yet hundreds of acres oftall grass may bo found in tho fall appearantly untouched, with tho exception uf hero and thero a path used by the cattlo in passing from placo so plaeo. It must bo remembered, however, that some of thrsa remarks ap ply only to Iho newer parts of tlio'Ktate. Later in tho. fall, as tho grass ocomes dry, the sweeping fires that 'sometimes leave destruction and devastation in tbeir track, uro scon ttarting up hero ond there. Leaping, writhing, loamlng, crackling and roaring, it sweeps on, often at tho speed of tho fleetest borse, 'and nWny-'i luckless pcdüHtrlan has fallou u victim to itj Ccry scythe.

lhe winter aro long, dreary and coia. The winter of 18567, my first winter on the prairies, was tho coldest I ever experienced. Quite a number of persons were frozen to death by being caught in some of the terrible snow-storms eo com mon in' tbat country. There 6torms come very suddenly, and in many instances the air becomes so thick with tho driven 6now, the road so hidden, and the eyes so blinded, that it is impossible " to see the way, or to ascertain what direction one is going, and if it continues, long ha is in laimiuem. Lunger oi iaiung a yicum io us pitiless rage. fcomctime during the winter, above alluded to,', a" "j'o'un'jr married pair having visited the husband's father, "not more than three quarters of a mile dutant, in the alternoon tho appearance of tbe clouds denoted a storm; they Started home, hoping to reach there before tbe storm came oh, but it over took them on tbo way, and they became immediately lost. " As soon as thestorra bad sufficiently abated to admit of search they were followed by soma of their friends and neighbors, whoj after traveling about fivo miles, found the unfortunate voun? wife dead: btr hns.land bad folded her icy bands ! cross her breast; then taking her shawl and wrapping it around himself, bad traveled on, fcndoivoririf; to find shelter in time to rave bis rfwn life, but bis lifeless body was found,- co!d and stiff, & few 'miles farther on. Houses were scattered here and there over the prairiesv"bnt they bad failed to' Und them. Other similar incidents occurred during that and ubsequent wiütcr?, but their recital is tinpleasant, and I leave them to tho imairation of those who bavo nevcr'tried those Northern Winters. In very coll weather, when tho sky i.s cloudless,' bright, luminous spots appear above, and sometimes on cither sido, tf tho sun, called run-dg; They resetnbto the sun in appearance, though not generally quite so blight. When brightest they aio f utro'rtndcd by a circle somewhat resembling tho ruinbow in rolor,''tho rim of which crosses the 'in, the sun-dog being it.i renter.

Sometimes several of theno beautiful circle appear, each one crossing tho center of the other, ..These tnferotlng phenomena often occur tit' hljjht around tho moon, though los brilliant. .
