The Washington correspondent of the New York Her?ld, writing under date of June 19, says: To day's mails have made a large addition to the number of applications "for Executive pardon, nnd particularly from the States nf Virginia and North Carolina. Notwithstanding the mis? representation.} of interested and de? signing politicians, the mass of the people from those States accept the President's policy of reconstruction cheerfully and unreservedly. Such persons as T have conversed with from feoth sections are loud in praise ol the general features put forth in his pro? clamations, and assert that as soon as their neighbors come to understand what action is necessary to bring them j again under the. protection of the j .Federal Government, the movement and the acquiescence will be almost unanimous. That some practical dif? ficulties may be encountered, and some minor differences of opinion spring up thereon, admitted by all thinking j men; but that any serious difficulties are ?kely to arise, they assert to be entirely out of the range of proba bilitv. Tiiey urgre with much appa? rent fore*, that no_ st ronger evidence of a desire to return to th e. Unif*n on the terms off-red by the President could possibly be given than is daily fur? nished by those numerous applii-ations for pardon from the classes of ?nen excepted by the proclamations. One of the difficulties to be considered and overcome grows out of the twenty t.housan 1 dollar exception. Many large tnanuf?ct urers, like J-?. Ander? sou.'of the.Tre ie_rar lion Works, and Haxall and Crenshnw, of the Rich? mond Flouring Mill*. v\ ho are person? ally ?tnd j'Mt.ly obnoxious and nine nalilti to punishment; are but p irt owners of their immense e?tabli-df mHilts, and have loyal and deserving men for partners. Som? rule sepa rating such interests is imperatively dem-inderi, that the manufacturing and productive interest? of the South may be put' in m tion, and the tliou-n.nds of employees and artisans now idle be enabled to eain their sub-ivtence. Those who have feared that the Pre sident's clemency in the matter of par? dons was likely to le abused may as well abandon the idea at once. Mr. Johnson is too clear-headed and far? seeing to become befogged on a matter that has had such careful consideration as this, or to be duped by men with whose machinations and antecedents be has been familiar for years. Not over fifty have thus far been pardoned, and tbesj are men without national ?reputation or influence, and clearly en triled to reinstatement. SAMES OF PROMINENT REBELS APPLY ING FOR PARDON. The following list embraces all the prominent rebels who have applied for pardon: Alexander ll. Stephens, R. M. T. Hunter, Postmaster General Reagan,* W. W. Boyce, of South Carolina; T. A. Gholson, of Virginia; William T. Avery, of Tennessee; R H. Hill, of Georgia; Major-Generals. J. B. K' rshaw. William Mahone, George Pickett, and Echo's, and Bi ig ?dier-Generals J. B. Simms, Basil W. Duke, H. A. Quarles. M. J. Wright, II. P. Jackson, William ll. POCK, William C. "Wickham, J. R. Ander? son, W. N. B. Pratt, W. L. Ca pet t and R. L. Pago. This morning John P. Murray, a pi?nber of the rebel Congres from Tennessee, presented himself at Col. Ingraham's vflwe and look the oath of allegiance. Fourteen questions, appli? cable io the exc'p'ions enutn'.ri.ted in th* President's late amnesty procla? mation, were propounded to Murray 1 before the oath was administered* to all of which he answered in the nega? tive, except the iourteentb question, which is a* follows; 'Have v?u vi>lun tardy participated in the rebellion? If so, is the estimated value ?if your pro? per y ov?r twenty thousand dolinis?' To this Murray replied that he had never paid taxes on twenty thousand dollars, and did not know how much ho was worth. Henry C. Burnett, a rebel-Senator from Kentucky, appeared at Col. In graham's office this morning for the purpose of taking the oath of alle? giance. As he was formerly ? mem? ber of the United States House of Representatives he could not answer favorably the question, 'Did you leave a seat in the Congress of the United States to aid the rebellion?' But the oath was administered, however, in or 1er to afford him an opportunity to make a special application under the amnesty proclamation to President Johnson to be restored to his rights as a citizen of the United States.
