On the 8th of August,vl865, the firsVcopy - of the.SCTiiin;was issued In an editorial upon the work of restoration, it aaid : ; ' So far as-North-Carolina is concerned this Immense responsibility is placedfopon the shoulders of Gov.Holden. Justice and right demand that lie should be judged charitably; ajid -kindly, and that his hands should be held up." iif'f- ?fs . ? '4, T?ith:this announcement of its charitable nd patriotic . intentions the Sentinel began , its career. ;;-"-- ", J Oa the succeeding day, however, , it point ed out actrtain class of citizens j&s evil eir ons.VAnd eyen then it .began to Jwar insid iously upon Union men. . In speaking of the Convention, it said i'--p:: ;V'f " That body will be composed , of many . cool, wise men, free from the passion of the times ; but there are others guided more by the passion of revenge rather than the virtue of charity, who .may seek to wreak vengeance upon those who have visited tipon them po litical or personal injury in other days." v Alas ! alas ! in tlie beginning,, the Sentinel mfitook: the intentions of leading Union men. and charged them with dark' and re- vengeful feelings. Is it surprising that a pa per which marked certain persons at once as its foes, should not have hesitated to openly j declare against them a short while atter t But, as we see above, no names were called ; it worked insidiously. However, fcut tbe present, it appeared con- tented and , hrged "absolute harmony in the .work of re-construction.'' - "When the Standard casually ispoke of the Union party in this State, it scouted the idea of there Je- ing another party. and took us to task for intimating such a thing.' Poor, honest soul, the very idea of a second party in the State pained it exceedingly. Perhaps the sorrows of that hour itHj upon its memory, impress this recoi lection On Saturday after its first issue, in which it counselled every thing good and generous, it assumed a different tone. Perhaps its talk of no party had led it to believe that we were hoodwinked. At any raft print-' ed the following ominous paragraph, j Iwas apparently itching to say more. . Read it : ' Our quiet submission, however, is but momentary. s We an well afford to' remain in a chrysalis 6tate, verging nearer and nearer every day to the hour of deliverance. The day of freedom, such as we have enjoyed , is coming to us: . "JiNThy delay, it why press it further from you, by ll-judged ill-advised suggestions which avail j nothing ? J . The South is in the folds' of the Anaconda. . Let her be quiet, be hopeful, and these folds will relax gradually until she is free." . j , ' Until she is free!" The Sentinel was then merely biding its time. It proffered - Gov. Holden a fair' and honest support, but it was only biding its tim6 to break that promise. The past has proven it. : When . the folds of the Anaconda were partly loosed, it turned vengefully upon the Governor. When the folds ar entirely loosed, it will v turn vengefully upon the President, for " sub mission is but momentary " on the pajrt of the South. We read the future by the Jast. 'u- ' . . :;' StiH the Sentinel, did not break at this time with Gov. Holden. The conduct of the Gov ernor extorted praise even from that print. It said on the 14th of August r "1. It was absolutely necessary, in order to success in our restoration to the Union, -'that whatever planiPresident Johnson might adopt, should be liberally and promptly .car riedouC ' ' . f - - -2.- We- had no man in - North : Carolina whose political -repord and sympathies so well accorded with those of President John son's as those of Gov. Holden's, and none in wnom th President had more confidence. ? . ""8, The history of reconstruction so far in the Sonthj proves that none of the Provis i.aonaI Govmiors so thoroughly understand . the President's : programme, and so fully en dorse it, as Governor Holden." -p: Here the Sentinel distinctly . endorsed the .manner in which Gov Holden was carrying - out the President's programme. Gov. Shar key, of .Mississippi, had taken a different course, it'is true, but at that time the Sentinel preferred Gov, Holden's plan. In its eyes, it -.a8 being liberany; and. promptly carried .out. And, strange to say,: it was also oppose 'ed to. secessionists and unpardoned war men . taking any hand' in thework of reconstruc tion , So excessive were its. ideas of loyalty, that it seriously remonstrated with them; and gve it as oneof the best, evidences of our .people's loyalty, that secessionists and un pardoned men were not then seeking office. -It&aid on the 15th of Aumist : i , ; - -' ' : ' .- -'5'-; l,.'..-,' ; Now, one of the best evidences of the genuine character of the1 loyalty of the peo ple of North-Carolina, is that in no instance do we hear of a man of that stamp putting himself forward for office, nor are the people . anywhere, that we know of; disposed to de : mand their services for public office." tAnd vice term when secessionists and un pardoned -persons did ,begin to put them- ! selves forward,, the :-8e?inZ began also to se riously' doubt the loyalty of our people True it has never said so publicly; But as it always .J swears to its : hurt and ' chsmges : not, it no doubt adheres to -the belief se- ,1 excujr vuut uius ui uie uvtw eviuences ol OUT i loyalty is now 'gone. We regret this unfor , tuAate occurrence ' as : much. as'the: Sentinel can "possible 4of and heartily .agree with itin tie belief that tire election of secessionists 1 ' and unpardoned men to office has obliterated one of -the best evidences of bur loyalty, but we are not responsible for such selections. Is tt Thfi Sentinel at that time also agreed with tja."'V- We hold the same doctrines now, an arnest I support to President Johnson and Cor.

ItsJ course is full of windings and contradictions, but ? the trail of the serpent is over all," and there is no difficulty in following it up. . .J." . -. The Sentinel intimates that Gov. Holden is opposed; to the restoration of this State to the ; Union, in order that lie may remain in of fice. We venture" to say that so .ignoble a thought! has never found a moment's lodg ment in the Governor's mind. The Sentinel, knows, and we believe it really feels at heart, that Gov. Holden's chief wish is for the good and the glory of North-Carolina, No man can say, with truth, that he has been gov erned in his administration by selfish or un worthy motives. V Gov.Holden has done all that any one man could have done to restore the State to the Union ; and we repeat what we: said, not long i since, that if Gov. Holden . had been elected without opposition, and if alt; the members of Congress from - thi State had .been such as could have taken' the oath, the State would have been back in the Union by the first day of January, 1866. If the . State is not restored during the year '1866, no man can; say that Gov. H., is to blame for it. He has passed many weary days arid sleep less nights laboring for the restoration of the State ; and meanwhile he has done all in his power to render the condition of our people - agreeable, and to protect them in their rights and interests.. This being so and the Sen tinel will hot deny it why these incessant attacks 6n Gov. Holden ? Has he ever harm ed any of these Editors that so bitterly and unjustly; assail him ? Has he refused a hear ing or denied justice to any man or woman in North-Carolina ? No one will say that he has, ; Has he not carried out, in letter and spirit, the wishes of the' President ? The President himself says he has, and has thank ed him in the warmest terms for his " noble and efficient services." Strange, therefore, ' passing strange, that he should first be de feated by certain politicians, and afterwards pursued.so systematically and so bitterly by those who speak for those politicians. . ; But Gov. Holden can speak for himself. The following extract from his late message will show his feelings and wishes in relation to reconstruction : '' . I " We can entertain no hope that confidence and activity in business will be revived, or that our people can even begin to renew their former prosperity 'until the State shall have been fully restored to her place in the Union. The greatest good j of the present and of all coming generations, will be embodied in the practicaffact that we are once mere a part of the freest, proudest and most prosperous gov ernment! in the world. 7 As long as this fact is unrealized, the State must necessarily lan guish in; all her interests, and instead of avail ing herself of her great natural advantages, and springing forward in competition "with other States in the career of wealth and pros perity, she will become more' and more im poverished. Let us, then, omit nothing which may be deemed necessary, or even expedient, to, at tain the! great end we have in .view, to wit, the complete restoration of the State to all its Constitutional relations to the "common government. Let the divisions and differ ences which exist among us, and which are calculated to obstruct the work of restora tion,' disappear under the influence of a more -jntense and a more devoted patriotism. ; He who does any thing now, whether by word or act, calculated or intended to embarrass the national administration, or to obstruct the work of restoration, incurs a grave re- . sponsibility, and can be no. friend .either to the Federal Union or to North-Carolina., '''' . - - r ' -! " In colclusion, permit me to assure you, gentlemen, of my readiness and anxiety to co-operate with you cordially and zealously in every thing which may be calculated to relieve our unfortunate and beloved State from-her present depressed and unhappy condition." .

Advices from Havanaarid Vera Cruz state that additional forces are being forwarded to Mexico j twenty-five hundred French troops had already arrived at the latter port Latest intelligence from Paris states that six thous and French soldiers had embarked for Mexi co. It .would seem that apoleon has antici pated arid is preparing to meet -the polic of the United States in reference to the Mexican Republic Letters from New Orleans j dated the 12th inst., state that an old and estima ble citizen of New ; Orleans returned from Matamoras ; was ii.timate there with French officers. He says they fully anticipate war between France . and the United States, and believe it will commence on the Rio Grande. They already rhave a plan of the campaign mapped out, which anticipates tfie sudden crossing of United States troops over the Rio Grande on pontoons, they will then abandon Matamoras and the Rio Grande, and fall back on Monterey, which will be held as a strate gic point. . These officers claim to be thoroughly informed as to all the means the United States have at their disposal here and in Texas ior an advanee into Mexico. : A Vera Cruz letter says troops ' from France continue to arrive, six hundred more disembarking on the 2d instant, who were immediately sent into the field. There is great anxiety to ascertain what will be the ultimate action of the Urited States in regard to Mexico. Among th2 im perialists theyj were greatly excited by jthe last news informing them that Gen. Grant had publicly (expressed sympathy with the Republican cause; that Gen. Logan was kp pointed Minister to the government of Juarez ; that Sheridanls army was on the Rio Grande, and was being reinforced. The 'French officers and soldiers in the Imperial army openly express strong hatred for the United States, and desire to fight Americans, j . ' ' - j Two important decrees were lately issued by Maximilian. One of them extending for fifteen day's, from the 29th of November, the time in wkich the soldiers of President Juarez's government laying down their arms, to be granted jamnesty ; and another order ing a general lraft for his army throughout Mexico. " r y I I The President stated this morning that the New Yorks Collectorship was still open, and he did nt propose to fill it until the right man wai found. ! I i I The Committee on Appropriations met and took up the naval appropriation bill, Ad- and reduced it in several particulars.' jutant General tee, and unredl Smith was before the commit tee subject of dock-yards and docks. A majority of the Joint Committee on Re construction . is conservative; the House branch ofthe Conservative Republicans hold the balance ofj power. The President tells his friends that both Generals Grant and Sherman oppose his re construction plans, and this is probably true. The committee of one from each State to-day d'ided to appropriate ' twenty-five thousand dollars for the benefit of President Lincoln's family. Strong efforts were made to make it fifty thousand. The" committee adopted the same resolution as passed at President Harrison's death. The fact that the French Minister has left here for New York, with the understand ing that he Vail not return until he hears from his Government, causes much comment in diplomatic circles. . Qr. Washington's resolutions passed the House this morning calling on the President to furnish the House with any information as to an application of the so-called Mexican Empire to obtain recognition from the Uni ted States. ' j ' Secretary Seward's letter referring to: re cognizing Maximilian's Government is said to be offensive. j Mr. AUey, Chairman of the Postoffice Committee, will offer a! resolution to the; ef feet that the Government shall take posses sion of the telegraph lines in the country, and conduct them as it does the postal ker vice.'. I - ' 1 The postponement of the argument of Reverdy Johnson, in the case of Garland! an applicant for re-admission to the bar of the United j States Supreme Court, without! ta king the test-oath, causes a good deal of speculation among those interested.
