A synopsis of the opinion of tbo Attorney General on the powers of the military commanders is published. He holds lhat the receaatractwri acts provide for two governments, civil and military, Loth the provisions to be obeyed by the people, aJ continued until supers? Jcdby reorgan Station of the several State Governments. Under the provisions of tho military Commanders aro lo act as conservators of the peace, to suppress disorder and protect all In their rights uf person and 'property J 1 Uey luve no power to rcmovo bUte o Gator, executive or judicial, and their rights In common with those of all other persons aro to be respected. Not being authorized lo remove, they, as a consequence, havo no authority to appoint successors. In brief, they aro not acting in th capacity of abrogatorsof Jaw, but is conservators of j'ence. The Indian War. A war with the Indians is not a matter of choice) with our Government, as was hopefully reported a short time sgo. The savages aro bent on doing all the mischief they can, and their late depredations have called for decided moasures on the part of the Lieutenant-General. That . officer Is concentrating his forces on . tho atage, telegraph and railroad line to Denver, Utah and Montana, thus securing all (he moat important lines of communicalion from the incursions of the hostile Indians. The authorities at Washington aro promptly reinforcing General Sherman with detachment! of regular troops, and a general Indian war is now regarded as almost inevitable.

Anxiety of the Blacks to Become Land Owners. Tho Memphis J'o$t reports an interesting emigration movement of the colored people of Grceno eounty, Georgia, to the pullio lauds in Arkansas. Finding it difficult to purcbaso or lease lands in Georgia on account of tho proscriptivo feelings oC the white land owners, they selected a shrewd intelligent colored man, himfclC'tUe owner of a thousand acres, to

vIstQ'jXarisas and secure locations of Government lands under tho Homestead Law, instructing hiin to get good land wherever he could find it, irrespective of railroad or river facilities, as the former would come in timo if needed. Tho agent reported to the Pott on his return, that he had selected for his principals 0,000 acres in the Fort Smith region, to which they will rcmovo in tho fall and be ready to put in a crop next year. The disposition of colored men to become owners of real estate is an encouraging sign for the futuro of tho race, and for the South generally, cs the possession of a home a pledge that its possessors will feel more interest in the Government than Ihoso haviog !ejs material interests involved in its'permanence nnd prosderity. It was a. wia policy in Congress to so modify tho original Homestead Law as to give black men the bencfitof ita provision; indeed', that it should ever havo been otherwise is not creditable to tho justice-or magnanimity of the country. Reconstruction In Virginia. Tlo llicbiuoiid Wtij ppcaka in very encouraging; terms of the progress of the work of reconstruction in Virginia, and founds its statement on information gained from all parts of the State. It says: 'We have never known bo coraplcto a popular change wrought in to short a time among the people of Virginia, as has lately occurred and is still progressing. We hear now of many persons declaring in favor of the policy we advocate, who, three weeks sgo, were against it, while those who agreed with us at the start are daily growing more enthusiastic." It represents the masses of the people in every quarter of tho State Democrats and Whigs," old men and young men, farmers, merchants, mechanics and laborers as standing on the Congressional plan of restoration. This statement of the growth of right sentiments in Virginia was made bcforo the decision of the Supremo Court in the Georgia case was known in Richmond. The effects of that decision will bo to make thousands of new converts in every part of the South. A Good Movement. At a large meeting of Virginia land owners, farmers and capitalists in Alexandria, last week, resolutions were adopted to urge upon the land owners of Virginia the advantage to themselves and to tho States of subdividing their lands into tracts of auch sixoa aa will moot tbo demands of tho market; to gather information of tho location, soil and character of the lands so offered for sale and tho prices of same and also to establish agencies in the lead ing cities of the United States and foreign countries whero it tusy bo deemed ncccs sary.

The Genuine Article of Nasby Demooraoy. 'The Copperhead Democracy of Franklin county, In Jiana, were educated down to the Ftandard established, during the war by Vallandigham, Milligan !c Co. There were no better rebels out of Lee'a army thin were the local leaders cf the Franklin county Democracy, and the rank and filo embraced their treasonable doctrines with the slavish submission which the masses of the party everywhere yield to tho commands of their party instructors. The rebellion failed, for which the Democracy of Franklin are profoundly ao'rry, and the political dogmas on which it was founded rcrished with it: but this fact

they havo not discovered, else they would not havo been guilty of tho folly of proclaiming the sontimeots embodied in the following resolution passed by them at a recent countv convention: tll!tto?uitL That the Democracy of Franklin county, now os ever, recognizes as its only platform the Union and the Constitution, as they were; embodying os their fundamental principles the equality of all men of ono species, the sovereignty of tho States, tho perpetuity of tho Union in peace aad harmony, and the supciiority of the white or Causasian race; and therefore is unequivocally opposed to taxing tbo laboring class lor tho benefit of the bondholders; to the enrichment of Eastern monopolists at the expense of Western farmer'; to the destruction of tho Southern States by the erection of military government; to the dismemberment of tbo Union by the legislation of a minority Congress; to the politisal and social elevation of the negro, and to tho. disfranchise x ant and degradation of the whito man." Thcro arc Eomo thoughtless person?, who manfully supported tho Government durinjr and biiico the rebellion, who imagine that it is not of much consequence which party carries tue elections now, that tho country has been saved, and tho Democratic party, taught wisdom by chastening, would not, it' it was in power, do any particular mischief. It is worth while for auch inen to ponder resolution like that promulgated by tho Franklin county Democracy, and to ask themselves whether a party which gives utterance to such ecntirucuts is fit to bo entrusted with any mcasuro cf political power, lir&r, tlicy declare ttiat tuey aro in favor of the Constitution "as it was," not as it is, The only meaning this exeression can have is, that they do not reengnize the amendment to the Constitution, whereby slavery is prohibited, as a part of that instrument. Secondly, the old secession doctrine of "the sovereignty of tho States" is pro claimed. This was tho' corner stone of the rebellion, and the natural consequence of again giving it prominence and its supporters political importance , would be, at somo future time, another attempt to dissolve the Union by tho excrciso of tho assumed State lights of nullification and secession. Thirdly, this resolution gives plain warning that tho success of tho Democratic party would bo the signal for an agitation against the war debt, and for its repudiation, hieb, if ever accomplished, would. place the Union at tho mercy of ita cnemi, as its credit would be utterly destroyed, and without credit no government can maintain itself sgaiust foreign or domestio foes. Thcie id more patriotism, more genuine regard for the national honor, moro honesty, more devotion to the Government of tho United Btsrtcs, to-day, in the Charleston District of South Carolina, than can bo found among tho so-called Democracy of Franklin county; and wo would Fooncr ico tho fute of tho country placed in the hands of tho defeated rebels of oouth Carolina, than of the miserable relicts of the treasonable conspiracy of 1S(M, who adopted and published the resolution wo have copied. Wo take no account of tbo shnj of Franklin county Milliganitcs ogainst the political and social elevation of tho negro. Ho is elevated high above them already, their superior in every element of patriotism and manhood. The only injury they could do tho negro would bo to degrado him to their own low level, but his mental and moral qualities aro so eupcrior to theirs that there is no danger of such a catastrophe. Journal. louisianTrepublican conven. TION. A Radical Platform Adopted. New York, Jure 17. A New Orleans special aaya tho Radical Republican Stato Convention odjourncd tdno die Saturday night, after adopting tho following platform: - Wo advocate- and will enforco perfect equality under the law to all men, without distinction of race orcolor; indorso tho acts of tho Thirty-ninth and Fortieth Congress; will reconstruct Louisiana upon tho Congressional basi, and send to Congress only truo and loyal men; nominations for odlco to bo made only of thoso who will enforco perfect equality and tho right to hold office irrespective of raoo or color. We will insist on perfect equality, without distinction of race or color; on the riglit to voto and enter tho jury box without any education or property qualifications being required; also, on tho right ta practice- all professions, to buy, sell, travel and bo entertained, and to enter into any and nil civil contracts. Wo will advocato tho granting of immediate assistance to the General Government for rebuilding the levees. Wo will nl.-o advocato emigration and division of lands of tho State, ns far as practicable, into small farms, in order that tho masses of our pcoplo may becumo landholders. Wo will advocato tho repeal of tho cotton tax by Congress; if not granted, wo will demand os a right that class legislation bo abolished, and taxes laid on all the productive wealth of tho Union. Let products of agriculture, mines and manufactures be equally and fairly taxed. Wo will advocate equality in schools and tho enforcement of the eight-hour system, except in cases of special contract. Wo will insist on a thorough revision of tho laws of Inuii:in. that the v mav cruarj - j c autco equal justice to black andwhito alike. Wo pledge ourselves to aid tho Government in paving tho last dollar of tho public debt. Tho platform further condemns President Johnson's amnesty proclamation, believing tho disfranchisement of rebels to bo the highest duty of tho General Gov ernment; favors the maintenance of an adequate military forco in Louisiana to seo tho laws enforced and lifo and property protected ; dcclires that no man is to bo supported for of&eo who will not boldly and openly pledge himself to make equal

distribution among white and colored alike

of all officers to which be may have the power of appointment. As the newly enfranchized citizens constitute a majority of the party, at least one-half of the nominations for elective officers shall bo taken from that class; no distinction to bo made whether nominees or oppointees were born free or not, provided they aro loyal, capable and honest. The party will always discountenance any attempt, on tho part of anv race or class, to niiaume practical control of any branch of tho Government, to tho exclusion of any race or claes. LETTER FROM LAUREL. 'Laurel, Ind., June 18tb, 18C5. Mr. Ldilor, In view ot tho many changes transpiring daily, and the desire of maukind for news, and especially former residents of any locality, they are always" glad to hear from their old homes and friends. With this object in view, I will try to gratify many, if not all your subscribers whose homes were onco in Laurel, before whiskey and whiskey-sellers ruled the town, as eome are trying to do to-day, backed by men oi wealth. First, then, last Friday Capt. Win. L. Day, ono cf our Town Trustees, had the nervo to filo nn affidavit against II. T. Pierce fr violating an ordinance of the City Council for celling liquor without license, and after a fair trial by a jury of kia peera before Inquire IJurgoy ne who, by-thc-by, is one of tho very best justices of tho peace wo have ever had in Laurelbe was lined (Ivo dollars. But I have ray doubts whether it will do any good. 1 am told men go there and drink, hut nobody can see any money paid for it. All I have to say is, any man that has paid his license is n great phool if he suflcrs men to go ahead without prosecuting them for it. Capt. Day was abused for his course in the matter by a certain gent until he got tho end of tho Captain's arm about his head, and thcro tho matter ended. Tho fnm of Messrs Rrcmakcr, Moore & Co. nrc progressing finely with their paper mill. When completed, I presume it will be one of the largest establishments of ti e kind in Eastern Iudiana. The building is 241 feet long aud CO or C5 feet wide. One hundred and four fret will bo three stories high, and ono hundred and forty feet of it two stories, and a side building of one hundred and forty fret in length ono story high. I understasd they intend to build some ten or twelve houses yet for the accommodation of their hands. What a blunder somebody made when they did not let that firm have tho land to put up, that building in town, instead of having it three miles above town. Our old friend John Malone has sold his residence and part of his land to a gentleman from New York. J. R. Johnson has sold his flouring mill to Messrs." Derbyshire & Manly. That Sunday Schoob' Excursion last Wednesday to North Rend yielded a net profit of one hundred nnd seventy-five dollars, with which they have purchased an organ for the use of the Sabbath School and Church. The Organ I understand costs three hundred dollars, and to raise the balance of tho money, they give a strawberry fstivl on Wednesday evening and a Couccrt next Monday evening, at which the gentleman from whom it was purchased will grind out tho music for us. (Jood night. Observer. Tor lho Amcriein. A Trip to North Bend. WY I LITTLE. It was on tho 12th of June, 18G7, that I aroso with the expectation of spending a cheerful day. Rut, alas I when I raised my window and saw tbo clouds gathering thick and fast, my hopes were blasted. Stil? it did not rain ; so I proceeded in getting ready as fast as I could. I wos not near ready when I heard a voico calling "Cousin, tho girls aro waiting and the cars are nearly filled." Now tho idea of having them leave mo I could not endure, for I was bent on going, as I had heard wo wcro to lavo such nice music, Sic, o I hurried iO fast that in crossing tho porch my head come in contact wiili tho porch bannisters, bidding it a painful good-morning. 1 arrived in time to gain a teat with two others a young woman and her littlo brother. We were soon going at full ppced, passing green corn-fields ond littlo villages with the inhabitants gazing at us so intently, I thought, Ohl don't you wish you weie taking such a big ri Jo on the cars? Wo arrived at our destination, and were let put on tho railroad to walk a milo (it appeared to me) befuro we reached the grove. Wo at last found the place. The grass was so high andtdamp with the morning shower, that I and my friend a young lady concluded to go down to tho depot, for thero was a family living in one room. We knocked at the door. "Come in," was tho answer, in a loud but pleasant voico. I knew in a moment that they were Irish. Tho family consisted of one old lady and two girls her daughters, I prcsme. Sho spoke, ond raid, "Re seated, girls; you havo a bad day for your pis nie." Very, indeed," raid I, "will you givo me a drink?'1 "Certainly, mam," she said, as sho arose aud handed us a glass of pure, sparkling water. Wo thanked her, and took our departure. Wo then visited tho Telegraph Office. There we found a very kind gentleman, who explained to us how news was sent from various parts of the world by words indicated by sound. Wo then started back to the grove, for I was almost starved. We found tho grass all dry, for tho sun was sending tho heat down so Fcvcrcly that wo felt liko dropping under tho first shady place wo camo to. Alter eating of all tho goodies we brought, wo then proceeded to visit General Harrison's grave. My anticipation was to sco a beautiful monument of coMly marble, but instead thero was a common stone wall built around tho grove, with tall cedar trees ou every bide, making the placo look liko a perfect . wilderness. Wo then started back, but had not gono far who n I heard a man calling, "Look, every body, on 1 you'll see a steamboat." All eyes wcro turnod in that direction, but no nooncr did they spy tho boat than Ohl such running I never paw. Tho fences groaned under the weight of pecplo that wcro crossing, it was now nearly three o'clock, and the clouds were growing black, ond tho distant thunder gave us warning of an approaching ttorm. We started for fehcltcrtrunning,now ond then looking back

M . i.

to see how far wo had gone. At last we were crowded into an old lumber shed. Some found scats, while others stood up. I stood on a pile of boards that appeared to be fast sliding downward, but I held to' a rope that was hanging close by, with a grasp as if my life depended upon its support. Soontheraia began to full ia torrents. I could now and then tee men, women and children wading through the mud. I could not take time to pity them, for I felt os though my timo to die had come, for I was tired out, and my head was aching as though it would burst. 1 thought how comfortable they are at home, while I am here clinging to this protecting rope. At last the rain subsided, the sun came out in splendor, and we once moro stood out breathing the fresh air. How glad I felt vhen I heard the train coming to take us all to ''home, sweet home." Then in a few moments wo were again flying homeward. I took my scat by tho open window, and there enjoyed. for the first time that long day, the scenery around me. And now I guess I will close. If yon want to know any moro of that splendid trip to North Rend, just come to me, and 1 11 tell you more. Mctamora, lml. JULY SESSION OF CONGRESS. Lttttr of ThaJilcut Steven Favoring It Jl'jttfivtiablc course of the AUornry Ucn erat. Washington, June 15. Thaddcus Siovens lias addressed the following letter to,tbo editor of tho Wash ington Chronicle ; "Lancaster, Pa., Juno 13. "I think it is proper to suggest tho propriety of having a quomm in Congress on the first proximo. The opinions of the Attorney General seem to require somo explanatory or supplemental acts. I ncod not point oat lho errors in favor of tho rebcis, as there are many of them easily seen. For instance, it is provided that to bo entitled to bo registered, requires one year's residence in the State. Every man can see that this means continued residence immediately before election. The Attorney General holds that the party nisy tako nine months when he was a boy and three months now. Andrew Johnson, by going a month before election to North Carolina, where ho lived thirty years ago, could vote. So with regard to clerks, military and civil officers, and holders of Confederate ofiiccs while in rebellion. "Rut I will not take time to criticise n mistake. Moro objectionable s the fact of usurpation by the Attorney General in acting at all in tho question, and creating his directions as binding officially. The Attorney General has no moro light to interfere than tho President has to reconstruct; which pretentions Congress has settled. "Since it has been adjudged that tho conquered States are to be treated as subdued territory, and rebuilt, without reference to thoir former condition, by legislative power olone, it is to bo supposed that Congress olono is to bo appealed to in case of difficulty. It ij true tho Attorney General h too pood a lawyer to pre tend to net nndcr tho Constitution, as it is well decided that admitting new States, j and, cf course, rebuilding conquered tcrri tones, do notcotne within the provision of that instrument. - His opinion is just as good as any other pood lawyer's, ond no better. It is tire attempt to treat it ns official that is objectionable. -When ho rules what t-hall be evidenco if obeyed, bo docs great wrong. lie has a fair excuse, however, under the invitiatou of the command ing Generals. "I havo said this much with great reluctance; but finding iny colleagues indifferent to tho question, I have not been oblo to refrain. I feel a painful fear lest it should bo thought that I obtruda my opinons too often in public matters; but my anxiety relativo to reconstruction must be my excuse With great respect, your obedient servant, Tiiaddf.us Stevens." REPUBLICAN CONVENTION OF LOUISIANA. fycech of Gen. Hamilton 1'ointcd lottttt'ons. The Republican Stato Convention of Louisiana, which wos in session nt New Oilcuns last week, was addressed by Gen. Hamilton, of Texas. He expressed his entire sympathy with tho meeting, lie had hoped that the fight had ended at the termination of the rebellion, but the men who had controlled tho country for half a century would not relinquish their power if they could help it. Such was tho system of legislation adopted not only in Louisiana, but in every other cx-slave Stato that, if successful, tho condition of tho negro would bo wor&o than before tho war. Ho- illustrated the meanness of thoso who had done their best to destroy this country, who had persecuted him, and done all in their power to crush and destroy him, in now asking the aid of him and others whom they persecuted, to elevate them to political power. Rut he said ho would, if possible, crawl on his hands and knees all tho way to his former home in Texas before ho would aid in putting such oppressors in' the position which they beforo held and tc which they now aspire. You are now, said he to tho frcedmcn beforo him, equal with all other frcedmcn, and Louixiana will within twclvo months, through your efforts, take its placo among tho States of the Union, in spite of all efforts here, at Washington, or elsewhere to prevent it. Ho then in a most eloquent manner pictured tho prosperity of Louisiana in its educational, commercial, and other points, if tho frcodmcn but be truo to thcinsolvcs. Tho Convention pasred the following preambles and resolution : Wiu:nt:A3, There exists in the different parifhi'j in this State a Mate of affairs ie quiring the intervention of tho authorities, aud . WiiKitEAs, Persecutions and outrages aro daily heaped upon that portion of the citfzens of this Stato who adhcro to 'the Republican party : and frco speech and tho right to assemble peaceably to discuss public matters ore thereby infringed and rendered void, thercforo J!c$tdvtdt That a committeo of one from each parish rcprcfcntcd in this Convention bo appointed to tako such testimony as will properly represent tho state of affairs in their respective parishes, in order that nn appeal moy bo mado to the proper authorities for redress.

HUNGARY.

KouiUh Orpotal to the Srlttmrnl triA Austria lleply of the Hungarian 21 in itter. ' - . , , . Louis Kossuth has writtfä i Ui(t to Mr. Deak, the Hungarian- Minister, which was published in the Magyar Ujea, me organ oi the extreme Jell in Vienna. The present arrangement between Austria. and Hungary, Kossuth declares, ialndeatical with the ultimatum rresents'd hr Jeliacbich when he invaded Hungary ia 1848, which was refused by tha Hungarian Ministry, in which at that time Deaf himself and the present Minister of Worship, Raron Eotvos, were the colleagues of Kossuth. After bitterly complaining' of the sacrifice about to be made by the revision of the laws of 1813, the latter continues : '. . . In a word, the proposals of the Minis--try are in flagrant contrast, with the essential conditions of the existence of Hungary as a State ; thcr are opposed to the policy our nation has steadily pursued1 through three centuries and a half that ; policy to which the nation owes its present existence j they are counter to the tenden. cies of the day and tho behests of tho. present phase of European affairs; in their'' ultimate aim they aro in tho highest degree dangerous ; they are colled for neither' by the requirements of tho ruling houso ' of Austria nor the demands of any political calculation. The Pcsth journals, of the 50th of May, publish a. letter from M. Daak, in , whith the latter states that he deems it unnecessary to justify himself against tho' accusation contained in the letter of M. Kossuth, as his whole political conduct iapublicly known, and on tlat conduct he rests his justification. Tho hereditary ob ' jects of his political life, he says, have mccn an arrangement witn Austria, to conjunction with the maintenance of Hun. gary'n Constitution, and he teilt not trunt ' to vnfurrtcen events, revolution or furrijn ' aid.
