cfc Xi - . "S'y- Telegretpli. A New ?^rlnntntion by ?He 'Prcsl . dent. WASHINGTON, September 14|p-It is asserted that another amnesty procla? mation wilLsoon be issued- by Presi? dent Johnson. The .manline^D?with which the Southern people have sub? mitted ty the condiciona imposed on them by* the fortunes of war, as weil as the condition of thajt section, tias decided the President an issuingran other amnesty proclamation, broad and generous in its provisions. He knows the peepje of. the South, and is satisfied that they will act in good faith with the Federal Government. This is also rendered necessary by the vast number of petitions fdr pardon, which have accumulated to that ex? tent 'that it would require years to .examine them. It is probable, too, . thai it will have been hastened, to sonie extent, by threats of impeach? ment by the radicals; for* Audrew Johnson, when angered, is not only .obstinate,' but dogmatic. He hates | secession, but has a contempt Jor the Abolitionists. The change in the policy as to abandoned lauds, out of which 'the * agents of the Freedmen's Bureau ex? pected to make fortunes, was a bomb shell^into th'e radical camp. It was a sphenu- for giganflb plunder, and so ' soon as the. President was informed of iipqpraotical working, heicaused to Ji1 be ?feued the order which restores .property to its'lawful owners. There j fcan be no confiscation without due process of law. The President stands by the Constitution. ? Jjfe The radicals of the B^jjP?r-Wilson school, who thought they could moxdd Andrew Johnson to their bold, bad schemes, aro bitter and revengeful over their ibscomfiture. They will wage "war relentlessly on tha Execu? tive, but tho people will sustain him in all the measures which wfll produce \ complete restoration, and consequent? ly the earliest prosperity. ?jj Indian Affairs. FOIST SMITH. A?K., September ll. The Indian Council, ^yesterday, was taken up in reading stipulations to be added by tho Government upon, ^pkll treaties in the South-west. Tho Stipulations propose a grand consoli? dation of all? tho tribes into one Na? tional Territory, which shall be, at. present, the Indian Territory, and such others as the Government may decide upon. Tho tribes now living in Kansas to be removed to the South, and the South-western tribes are ex? pected to pbmp?l the Indians of the plains to observe the treaties. The Indians nowhere say they understand they were called to meet the late rebel tribes and renew friendly relations with them, and not to make new treaties, which they are unwilling and unauthorized to dQ. None but loyal tribes aro now here, but others are expected soon.. * Replies made to-day by several de ' legations.preseut, to propositions pre? sented to them on Saturday, all speak favorably* of flio policy of. tho Go? vernment, and appear anxious to re? new friendly relations with it, and a many of them promise their aid in bringing the hostile Indians of tho plains to terms. Messengers arrived . to-day from the Council in session at Armstrong's Academy, held by the Cherokees and Choctaws, statiiig that their delegates would arrive on' Fri Prom South America. NEW YOKE, Sept. 16.-Additional detaUs of much interest regarding tho war between the republic of Paraguay . on tho one hand and the empire bf Brazil, tho Argentino Confederation' and tho republic of Uruguay on the others-wore brought to us by tho ?British bark St. Andrew, which ar? rived litre yesterday,* from Montevi? deo, Uruguay, on tho 28th of .Tidy. President Lopez had taken command of tho Paraguayans in perso?, but was moving more cautiously than* at first, owiag to several checks which Iiis troops had received. Thc allies claim "' that the navy of the Paraguayans was nearly annihilated in the battle of Riachuelo, between Paraguay and Brazil, and thal on land tho Para? guayans had aiso experienced some material repulses. The armies of all the, contending powers, -were, how? ever, in motion, and recruiting and all kinds of military preparations were t in progress in every direction ; but till the rain and cold gave place to more favorable? weather i^was thought that no decisive campaign would be com? menced. There were seventeen thou? sand Brazilian's in tho field. A Mon? tevideo paper announces that a United States naval expedition of f^reat strength would soon arrive on the j . r ? . y Soutli American Coast, accompanied by a commissioner, whose duty it would be to demand and enforce non? interference with the free navigation of the PlatteHiver by Brazil, and thc payment by the Government of that .country of four hundred thousand dollars as indemnity for, American vessels destroyed by rebel pirates in Brazilian waters. A .j?uenos Ayres journal, however, says that this story has no foundation in fact. The city of Montevideo was said to be in a terrible condition, owiug to political intrigues, political arrests, murders -in broad daylight, burglaries, rob? bery and other?awlessness. t Newt Items. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. ll.-A special despatch from Jackson (Miss. ) to the Times, Says, it is" creditably rumored that GeneraLSlocum has tendered his' resignation, in consecpience of the President's endorsement of Governor Sharkey's action. It is confidently predicted that the colored troops will be marched but of tire State, for muster-out or transfer to another locality. PORTLAND, S^pt. ll.-The State election to-day passed off quietly. Up I to the hour of 6 p. m., very few re? turns had come in, but they indicate that the State vote will, probably, not exceed 75,000. against 112,000 last year, and that the Republican majori? ty will be about 15,000, against 19,000 last year. ST. Lotus, Mo., ?cp\. 8.-In the Criminal Court to-day, a lawyer, de? fending a negra charged with grand larceny, claimed that, linder the Con? stitution, he was entitled to trial by "jury of negroes. The Court overruled the appfication. 1 Charles H. O; Reefi, summoned on tue grand jury, declined to serve, on the ground thVt he could not con scion tioiu?y find an indictment against ministers for not taking tho oath. Tho Court gave him the option of serving or going to jail. He decided to serve. Major Welles, of Gen, Old's staff,, son of Secretary Wehes, is under ar? rest for assault and battery upon ladies of Campbell ?J Castle's opera company, at their hotel last night. NEW YORK, iSept. li.-Private let? ters from the Qity of Mexico to Au? gust 28, state that the city is under the most tyrannous form of martial law. Oh the 28th of August, M. ZamacOna,formerly Minister of State; Rimero Rubio, ex-member of Con? gress; Madariago, dittd; and M. Guz? man, together with twenty-six others, were arrested and sent to San Juan d'Ulloa, for an alleged conspiracy to kill Maximilian. . JACKSON, MISS., Sept. 0.-Quite an excitement has arisen at Jackson, caused by General Osterhams .taking forcible possession of a Mr * Potter, who was being tried by a.civil court for shooting a negro caughtip the ?ct of committing a robbery, lae News, of that city, has "a strong article OE the subject, in" which it demands whe is Governor of Mississippi, Governoi Sharkey, General Slocum, or Gen. Osterhans? It protests, in strong language, agair-st ,4he action of thc military authorities, and calls upor Governor Sharkey to resign ;f he is not sustained. The people also mani fest great indignation on the subject The N'?tes, however*, is confident tha the President will sustain the Gover nor. , A RAW HEAD' AND BLOODY BONES Some enterprising Yankee is selim? the marines in8 Boston. We ehp tin following from the Boston Journal of the 11th: BLOOD-HOUNDS F?.OM CASTLE THT*N DER, RICHMOND, AND ANDERSONV?LLE "Hero," the enormous Russian blood hound, from Castle Thunder, wher. he was kept to guard Union prisoners and "Jack," tho Cuban blood-hound kept at Andersonv?lle, by Wirz, ti chase Federal soldiers, will b? on ex hibition in this city, the first of thi week. Now. as for the "big dog" at Cast! Thunder^ unfortunately for tli<* show ma*n's tale, there wero always mor Confederates than Federals in Gusti Thunder-tho Federals bein^ at th Libby and Belle Isle. Hero was sojt of pet at the prison, and just a liable to eat up a ''Rob' as a Yankee We once Saw him kill a cat on Car street-the only exploit of his we ea record. As for his being a guard", i he was he guarded fifty Confederate to one Federal* :is there was alway that disproportion in Castle Thundei If the account of the other dog is a true as that given of Hero, of course i is correct.-Richmond Times.

FERE.-On Saturday morning, be? t-ween 10 and ll o'clock, the alarm bell cave notice of a fire in Ward No 6, wich proved to be in the" Orphan House yard-a shed, placed to protect the boilers used at tins building for culinary purposes, ?eing in flames. 1 It was soon ?txting?shed,^ and the " damage did nof amount to?mnch. ATTEMPT TO ROB.-On yesterday morfling, about 2 o'clock, tho inmates of the residence at? tho corner of Spring and Rutledge streets, were aroused by the caning of a child who was occupying one pf the rooms. Upon going, to her she was found to be quite nervous, and stated that a man had been in her room, rummag? ing dresses, boxes, &o.,. and had been at her bedside and looked her in the face. He was then heard in another part of the house, and a gentleman, also living there, attentpted to aracst him. Tracing him to the upper piaz? za, he slipped from him in the dark? ness of the night, and, sliding down "the posts, he escaped. On examining his tracks, the*supposition is that the robber is a negro. Other premises in the neighborhood wire also entered on the same night. Latterly, this portion o| the city appears to be infested with these scoundrels, and we hope the residents will be on the alert, and before long mete ? out to them 4, proper punish? ment. ' ? ?FOREIGN Exroifts. -The British j bark Irma, Capt. Cummin, was cleared I at this port for Liverpool, on Satur? day last; by Messrs. W?lis & Chisolm. She has on board a cargo of seventy two bales Sea Island cotton and four hundred and seventy-five bales of upland cotton. STABBED.-In an affray, which oc? curred between two men, on Satur? day afternoon last, on Vendue Range, knives were used, and one was badly dut. The parties, we understand, have been arrested. [Charleston News, ISth. At the^ Liver DOOI Assizes, the fol? lowing case was tried: Mr. Edward ?Bates, a well known Liverpool mer? chant, sought to reenter ^from an underwriter at Lloyd's, mimed Hew? itt,- the sum of ?6,000, the amount ol a policy' of insurance- granted by *ht lttt?<-r upon thc steamer GiVWffift. which, prior to the effecting of th? insurance, had been employed as ?i Confederate cruiser. The vessel, af te] being so employed, was sent to Liver pool, where she was dismantled am* altered from a ship-of-war into ? merchant vessel. She wag then boughl by the plaintiff and chartered to th< Portugese Government for tho con veyance of mails. Before making tin purchase, the plaintiff was inform?e that the vessel could have a Britisl register. She sailed in the beginning of August, but after being out a fev days'she was captured, off thefeoas of Portugal, by the Federal stearne] Niagara, which liad' been cruising about waiting for her. The plaintif denied that he was in any way COH cerned iu the American war, und a the time of tho capture thc Vissel wai engaged in a peaceful and l?gitim?t, trade. Under these circumstances the vessel having been totally l?st t< the owners-the present action wa brought, the-' defendant refusing t< pa^the insurance. He did so on th . ground that he was not aware of tb fact that the vessel had been pre viously engaged as a Confederate wa vessel, which he urged was a questioi most material to the insurance, for i he had known that fact he shouh not, under any circumstances, hav incurred the risk. For the plaintii it Avas shown that there was only on vessel called the Georgia, and th previous employment was a matter c general discussion, not only in th public journals, but even in the Hons of Commons. Verdict for the plain tiff. _ - ' TUE PoiiiTiCAii SETCATION IN TH REPUBLICAN PASTY.-'-AS matters no' stand, the real question in the Rt publicon party appears to be wh shall control it.

We suspet tluit President Johnson, who happer to be in possession of the citadel an all the arms, will provo> to be the coi trolling power.-Aew York Herald. RADICAL DII?TY LINEN.-One of tl worst specimens of radical dirty fine is Our! Schurz, who has just receive an emphatic rebuke from Presidei Johnson for meddling in the Missi sippi militia muddle. In all prob b?ity, Schurz Ls nothing but a spy.? the radicals, sent down South 1 check-mate the President's policy, he eau. This last escapade of h should insure his immediate reea and dismissal.-New York Herald. SENATOR iSuHXE?i'.S ' SPEECH.-T?lC Republican State Convention of Mas? sachusetts, which assembled yesterday in Worcester, selected Mr." Senator Sumner as its presiding officer. He accepted the opportunity to deliver a speech whiclu if leas ornate, is quite as elaborate as most of the produc? tions of that eminent politician. He insists that the rebellion is only dis? armed, and not crushed; that slavery is onlj dead in name, and not in fact, and urges the necessity of guarantees for the freedmen and the creditors of the nation. Mr. Sumner contends that the Covern ment hus the power to establish these guaran? tees, and that Congress has plenary powers over the whole subject. He asserts that the emancipation of the negro is- not complete, and that "equality is the master principle of the system;" or, in plainer terms, that a negro isas good as a white man, if, indeed, not better, ns the honorable Senator avers, that he won't trust the white men of the South and is wil? ling to trust the negro. On these pro? positions he professes his determi? nation to fight the battle out. This is, doubtless, the programme of his .faction, which is preparing to renew their assaults on the Constitution and true interests of the nation. His speech is more important in this sense than as an intellectual effort. [Neie York News. AN OUTRAGE.-A gentleman called at our office yesterday afternoon to give us the particulars of the treat? ment of Mr. Burch, who lives in Ma- j con County. It seems from his state mer.t, that Mr. Burch came, to the city in the morning with a load of watermelons. Ho had not been long in before some soldiers attempted to help themselves to melons, when he drew his revob/er to defend his pro? perty. Whereupon he was arrested by a guard and carried to the cala- j boose. The negro who drove the ? wagon was then compelled to drive up Market street above the Mont- j gomery Hall, where a crowd of soldiers emptied the wagon of the melons without pay. Our informant advised us further, that two ladies who visited Mr. Burch in the prison told him that Mr. Burch informed them, tliat after getting him in the calaboose the sol ?l?o?o wliijiJJo<J 1,,,? most terribly <?nf_ ting his hide and flesh in a shocking manner. We state the facts as wo learned them,, without knowing any? thing about the case otherwise. [Jftonlgoraery Let I fer. The New York Her edd and other well-informed papers state that the opinion is confidentially entertained in many quarters that something ap? proaching a general amnesty will be proclaimed towards the people of the South long before the meeting of neifc Congress, and that the public need not be surprised at its promul? gation any day. It is expected to be made applicable to the people of par? ticular States at different times. Mis? sissippi has been foremost among tho Southern Stat** in framing an unob? jectionable constitution. She may also bo the first to rwap the reward of this-extended elemency. We have ourselves very little doubt of the truth of this report? It is the fixed policy and intention of the Pre? sident to suitably reward every sin? cere manifestation of loyalty upon the the part of the Southern^States. He is gratified by declarations of loyalty, but he is convinced by the inexorable logic of ant* like those of Mississippi. [Richmond ?Times. WHAT WE WITNESSED.-In going home just before dark, yesterday, we witnessed conduct, on the part of'two drunken soldiers, apparently 'Ger? mans, which stirred our blood not a little, and inclined us, peaceable as we are, to lay them both to tho land. Just at Rambo's corner, two young ladies came ?dong, on their way down Market street, when the aforesaid sol? diers attempted to stop them and take hold of them in a very rough manner, but their outrageous at? tempts were defeated by tho activity of the ladies. We fear there is too much laxity in thc discipline among the provost garrison. ' [Montgomery Ledger.
