The President's policy, &c .

Washington, December 10.
--Major-General Logan was for a long time in consultation with Secretary Seward yesterday on the subject of affairs connected with Mexico.

Whatever truth there may be in the recently-published rumors respecting the President's contemplated action with regard to the Southern States, it is well known here that he acts on all cases affecting the restoration as they arise, and that while engaged in that work, is the best exponent of his own policy, none being authorized to declare what course he will pursue in the future.

Washington, December 10.--A Washington special correspondent telegraphs to Forney's Press as follows: "The Union members of the Senate will hold a second caucus on Monday morning at 10 o'clock for the purpose of considering the reconstruction resolution offered by Mr. Stevens on Saturday evening, the second of December, and adopted in the House on Monday after the election of Speaker Colfax. Some ambiguity in the resolution will necessitate a change, and a number of Senators are themselves in doubt whether the Senate ought to concur in its general scope and object. There seems to be a determination to stand by the President among the Republicans in Congress. His message has given such general satisfaction as to secure him the confidence even of those who do not agree to all his suggestions. It may be said of the President that he is the most successful of our statesmen, because he has presented the most generally acceptable plan for the solution and settlement of our national disturbances."
