Sickles, commanding this District, will have completed his- arrangements to register the qualified ToUtra in North and Siuth Crolin. It U presumable that lie mil not only announce the names of those n(iiiited to register the qualified voters, and to bold the elections, but that he will also give explicit instructions to the regis ters and keepers of the mII, and to the people, and will cause these instructions to lie extensively published, so t lint every one msy act understandingly. We trust (lie Oeneral will particularly seci(y who are at liberty to vote and who are ditranchited, aud who are eligible to scats iu the State Convention to be called. We suggest this, brcsuse of the variety ot opinions enter tained upon this sulywl. The language of the act most capable ot misconstruction is that which embraces "judicial and execu tive" officers. Generally, it is understood that Judges aud Justices ol the Peace are all included under the head of judicial offi cer.; this opinion we .think rorrecl, yet others think that magistrates are not inclu dcd. As to executive officers, cousiilcrahlc diversity of opinion exists. Art: Kliurin, Colonel, Solicitors, Clerks of Courts, L". S. Marshalls and Constables executive olli tera ? Who are eligible to seats in the Con. vcutioot It is understood that the uuinler of delegates to the Convention must equal the number' of members in the House ol Commons. If so, are they to have the same qualifications for a delegate that is required tor a member of the House, hcsiilc those mentioned in the Reconstruction Art, or is it to be understood that every qualilird toter is also eligible to a seat in the Con rention i These various points have called forth different opinions, and we, therefore, suggest them. I'ntil these matters are definitely settled, if would seem to be premature to lie call ing the people from their employments to discuss the matters pertaining to reconstruc tion. Up to the present time, in this Stale, seliear of no discussions, no meetings tor political purposes, except among those who endorse the action aud the )iurme.t of the lloldenite meeting in this place. The old demagogues and the new Hedged partiam ol this class arc actively at work. They are busy, circulating documents, holding meet lugs ami tasking speeches. The friends of law anil order, the conser vative wen of the State, ought to be at work. Wr take It tor granted that North Carolina will reconstruct upon the Congressional platform. We are not aware that any one will attempt opposition to. that plalliinu.; Ko long as it is the law of the land, no one, we judge, will oirer opposition to it. It it believed that it is the purpose of the lloMenileit, it possible, to give to North Caroliua such a Constitution as Tennessee and Missouri have. Real Union men and Couaeivativta cannot consent to have the State llrownlowized. They are ready and willing to have the State reconstructed on a trfily loyal basis. U-eders in "the rebellion," if there are any such not disfranchised, de sire no leadership) In this reconstruction ; but no conservative man i willing that the Con vention shall go beyond the positive demand of Congress in that direction. The Con greaaional platform, as we understand it, meets the Views or the Congress. That Mr. Wilson, Mr. Sherman, and Mr. Fessenden, tod the majority of the Kepuhlican party, are satisfied Witt), and it seen res indemnity for the past aud future. Why go lieyond I If all our people are satisfied w ith that then I lice need be no discord, no division oitrife ; but if the primary meetings in the Stale, held by the Holdenitcs, are the true exponents of what the so-called " loyalists mean to insist upon as condition of rccon truction, then we tell them the conserve live men of the State will contest the ground lth tlUHU. Icthe people.both white, and colored, he on the alert. The Interests of the white and colored races are identical the wcllarc "I each depends Upou their mutual efforts t help each other-to promote the bar ai"iiy, the prosperity of both races. l,et no '"virions or strifes be encouraged among 'him. Congress has pledged to the colored race civil and political equality. No sensi ble colored man desires more than this, l.it them then rely upon the tried and l ru,t,., mull tb! country, and let lint true men how the colored race that they are "till worthy of their confidence. We hope thai the intelligent men of the s'ale will tttko pains to instruct and mini ' the people, both white and colored.

WILMINGTON AND WELDON RAIL HO AD. We copy the following letter of Col. Fre mont, from the last Wilmington Ditpatch, very cheerfully. Our cotemporary, the Di$ fni4fh, surprises us, when it speaks ol our article as an "assault" npon the railroads. We are too much interested in the success of all our railroads, anil have too high a re gard for those who oiicrale them, to (IM.11V cither. We discovered that the delay, in forwarding the corn designed for our suffer ing people, was exciting sonic concern and dissatisfaction, and that there was a dispo sition to ten-lire the railroads, and we thought it necessary that the officers of the roads should have an opportunity ol put ting the blame, if there was any, where it belonged ; and heme our allusion to the matter. We did not charge neglect upon the railroads. We were under the impres sion that the neglect was some where elsei but we found others disposed to charge it upon the railroads. Hence we said, " the neglect of the sgeuls r the railroads is criminal in this matter. " We are, there fore, glad that Col. Fremont has vindicated the railroad. We learn, from other sources, that the de lay was soiucu hat attributable to the long continuance id bad weather, and the dan ger of spoiling the cum by exposure. We learn that Mnj. Johnson, of This city, who has 1 barge of trau-portation, as soon as he was made aware of the delay and ncccssi ties of the case, at once dispatched the last cargo. It is. therefore, probable that no otic is to lilnnie, under the circumstances.

In f his County they are holding meetings in k every precinct. At Auburn, on last Saturday week, we learn. Mr Jos. W.

What ever we can do to strengthen conlideuee iu your resoure'es, and to piomoie the m itetia1 piosjH-rity of the Coiiuiionuealtli, shail be done. I concur heartily in the conii.lcut em tations wliich have ta-i ucxpo s,scd a- to vomi future. 1 am one ol those who believe lhat there are lew things impossible to Auht -icans. 1 believe that the cml and ' poln n al misfortunes, the ilisnstcrs in tiade and an culture, the privations, hoieud iiicouittic. 1 m ids you have suffered, ami which would have crushed any people who had not t 'ra ordinary energies, lwracveratnc rind laiili in the future, will all be c inqui red I . v the elasticity, vigor and fort it in le churacierislic of the American people. There is nothing in the history of South Carolina that sug gests that you are an exception to II,, -e traits of our countrymen. It may not be unbecomiug iu me to say, althoiinh ,, would jierhaps refrain from saving your selves, that, in the war which has just closed, the people of the South have sliow 11 such resources, and the ability to employ ' them, and such energy, and resolution and courage, as will, if' wisely directed, sur mount greater difficulties than any mot be fore them.

I shall abstain, as I am rt quired to do by the duties of my position, from any allusion to the political Ix-aring of any matterwhich you have to consider.- With this reservation, let lue say to ,,u, gentlemen, in all candor, that one ol the first duties you have to discharge to your selves snd to your fellow clliuuis, ia tu re j move all distrust as to your purposes, l el ings, and intentions in the tutuie towards ' the colored race; this distrust is, in my j judgment, the main obstacle to the cordial Co ojieratioo aud good understanding of the two races. 1 The causes for the existing alienation I should, perhaps, be looked lor in the early history ol your Slate and her former in-li- tutiona. But these are considerations ol tlie , past- I do not see from my poiul of view any lesson why the iiudoiihled identity of 1 interest that docs exist, and must exist, be twecu the white and colored races in South j Caroliua, shall not result in their pursuing : in common all the ends of sis-icty and gov j eminent, a heartily and successfully as it the old rtiutionol master and slave had J never existed. j Applause.

If the color cd people are Ignorant and poor and prone ' to error, the evident lesson must coinmi'iid itself fo the heart and conscience of cveK . gootl citizen, that tho Kor and- i;roor4ti4 should enjoy the protection ol the rich, in telligent, mid influential citicn. It is my la-liif, that when you have convinced the colored people by your laws mid your a l ministration of tht ni, that you mean to do t them justice, you will have solved the niosj difficult problem you w ill have to consider in your affairs. You will, at the same time., iHivialo nineteen out. of twenty , of the. in stances in which the exercise of military authority in your affairs laconics necessary.

Tlie civil officers at present iu office in Georgia, Florida and Alabama w ill retain their offices until the expiration of their let ins of service, unless otherwise duct-led in special cases, so long as justice is impar tially anil faithlully administered It is hoped thai no necessity may arise lor the interposition of the military authorities in the civil administration ; and such necessity can only arise from the failure ot the civil tribunals to protect the people, without dis tinction, in llieii t ights of person and prop erty. III. It is to lie clearly understood, howev er, that the civil officers thus retained iu ollicc shall confine themselves strictly le the performance ut their. olUcial duties; and whilst holding their offices, they shall not use any influence whatever to deter or dis suade the people from taking an active part iu reconstructing their Slate governments under the act ol Cougress to provide for the more efficient government of the rebel Slati-s, and the act supplementary thereto. IV. No elections will be held in this Mil itary District, except such as are provided for in the act ofCongrcss, anil in the manner therein established ; but all vacancies in civ.il offices wliich now exist, or which may occur by expiration of the terms ol ollicc of the present incumlienU, before the prescrila d registration of voters is completed, w ill be lilled by appointment of the General com manding the district. JOHN I'Ot'K, Maj. Gen. Conid g. A correspondent ot a Noithern Kepiil i, can paper, writing from Charleston, says : "It is very clear to any one who has vvat clind the political current in this quarter of late, that the colored men will hot vote as a unit. There is quite a large uumlter of them who were free before the w ar, and who hold themselves partially, aloof irom the real. These, to a man, announce their determina tion to stand by the old white residents in whatever action they may take. On the other band, there is a more numerous party, composed chiefly ot idlers from the planta tions, who have found their way into the city, where they live from hand to mouth, who are convinced that their release from daily toil was accomplished by the Radical Party of .the North, and who may, therefore be relied upon lo votifaud act w ith the men who represent and are indorsed fry that party. But the most numerous class of all is made up of sensible Ircedmen, w ho arc now earning a living by honest labor, who are intelligent enough to think for llicni selves, and to act as they believe tin ir o.v n interests dictate. IVrhat- il they followed their own impulse imitcIv , they might inn fate Ihe example of rti' ir shiftless and 110 provident lin-thim finm the country, mid give their support to the Itndica! canoi dates. Hut it must be Isune in mind thai these men d. live their subsidence almost entirely from while employers, and liny will take heed how they put their live, ilio ,d in jeopardy, tor the sake of w hat, to them, :.. '. .1 1 .I.Ml.,.et;.. III view ol these tacts I find thai the shrewdest observer.- in le are of opinion that either a majority of the blacks w ill be I. uinl sop porting the whiles at he polls, 01 that it this shonhl not Is? the case, the fret , linen's vote will lie divided so as In la-come a mat br ol little ctniiparalive linpi'itance. 11 this Ik? true in Charleston and ahur the sea coast, it is even more so in tin- interim', where the freedinen art h - expossed tilhc influence of political agitatms.

He ssjd that this bill was the ultimatum of the Radicals. Jlirhmoud Utlfr in New York World. The Democratic State Committee of Con necticut has issued a circular of congratula tion, claiming to have won their recent great victory on these issues: "In lavor of representation in Congress by every Stute. Immediate union on the basis of the Constitution. No usurpation of un delegated powers by Congress. No military despotism in this Republic. No Congress ional force bills to establish negro suffrage." The Oberlin JYir says : Il is ungenerous to criliciso our fashiona ble yonug Indies for walking on tip-toe as I hey do now a days. They can't holp it. The w aterfalls on the top of theil heads draw up the back hair so tightly that they can't put their heels down squarely without great pain. The Richmond Whig stales that during the past week numerous Northern capital ists of wealth and high character have been in thai city, and we are gratified to ascertain that the I, bp cl ol their visit South is to 1 examine lauds with a view tu investments. I Mayor Latham, of Alexurdria, publislie" I an earnest appeal to the citizens of that place to contribute to the relict ol the destitute lu the South, and has appointed a committee oi four gentlemen iu each ward to solicit dona lions for that" purpose. The Richmond Whig has reason to know thai General Scbotield, as soon as the extent of the destitution of the families of the tin fortunate victims of the Clover Hill explosion is ascertained, will make some provision lor their wants.
