THE GENERAL AMNESTY. Washington, July 3, P. M. Whereas, Io the month of Julv, A. D. 1861, in accepting the oondition of civil war which was brought about by insurrection and rebellion in several of the States, which constitute the United States, the two Houses of Congress did solemnly declare that the war was not waged, on the part of the Government, in any spirit of oppression, nor for any -purpose of conauest or subjugation, nor for any purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of the States, but only to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution of the United States, > and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, w equality and rights of the several States unimpaired ; and that, so soon as those objects should be accomplished, the war on the part of the Government should cease : And whereas, The President of the United States has, heretofore, in the spirit of that declaration, and with the view of seenring for it ultimate and complete effect, set forth several proclamations, offering amnesty and pardon to persons who were concerned in the aforesaid rebellion, which proclamations, however, were attended with prudential reservations and exceptions, then deemra necessary and proper, and wnich proclamations were respectively issued on the 8th day of December, 1863; on the 20th day of March, 1864; on the 20tb day of May, 1865, and on the 7th day of September, 1867: And whereas, The said lamentable civil war has long since altogether ceased, with an acknowledgement bv all of the States, of the supremacy of the Federal Constitution ana the government there??J?. ILI.J tkoM nn lnnnar ovicfQ nnv N>ILVMItlll(> UUUCl) auu tuuc liV ivugvi ?.v . ? ? grounds to apprehend a renewal of the said civil war, or any foreign interference, or any unlawful resistance by any portion of the people of any of the. States to the Constitution and laws of the United" States; And whereas, It is desirable to reduce the standing army and to bring to a speedy termination of military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridgement of freedom of speeeh and of the press and suspension of the privilege of hale* corpus and * the right of trial by jury?such encroachments upon our free institutions, in times of peace, being dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius and spirit of our republican form of government and exhaustive of the national resources: And whereas. It is better believed that amnesty and pardon will tend to secure a complete and universal establishment and prevalence of municipal law and order, id conformity with the Constitution I of the United States, and to remove all appearances or presumption of a retaliatory or vindictive policy, on the part of the Government, attended by unnecessaiy disqualifications pains, penalties, confiscation, and disfranchisements, ana, on the contrary, to promote and procure a complete fraternal reconciliation among the whole people, with due submission to the Constitution and laws: Now therefore, be it known that I, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States, do, by virtue of the Constitution, and in the name of the people of the United States, hereby proclaim and declare unconditionally and witbout reservation, 10 all and to every person, who directly participated in the late insurrection or rebellion, excepting such person or persons as may be under presentment or indictment in any Court of the United States, having competent jurisdiction, upon a charge of treason or other felony,, a full jMirdon and amnesty for the offence of treason against the United States? or of adhering to their enemies, during the late civil war, with restoration of all rights of property ex* cept as to slaves, and except also as to any property of which any person may have been legally divested under the laws of tha United States. In testimony whereof, I have signed these presents with my hand, and have caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Done at the City of Washington, : : the 4th day of July, in the year of ; eal. . qur one thousan?i eight hundred and sixty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the 93a. By the President ANDREW JOHNSON. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State. NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. We copy the following telegrams from the Richmond Dispatch, ; New York, July 4,1868. It is a question whether the two-thirds rule has already wen adopted, but there seems to be no doubt that it will be. The Southern delegates are pleased to find the Northern Democrats more reliable than they had feared. They manifest the best spirit towards the South. The resolution admitting Territories to representation was defeated. This renders it clear that they regarded ours as States in the Union. Pendleton is the leading candidate by loug odds. The only doubt Is as to whether he can get twothirds. I regard Chase as out of the question. His ^ friends are still hopefuL All business was suspended in this city to-day. The celebration of the day was magnificent Thousands upon thousands thronged the Central Park, Jones's Woods, and the streets. Fire-works, rockets, cannon-firing, &c. The Virginia delegation will throw away their vote on the first ballot, and more if necessary. New York, July 4.?The weather is intensely hot, and the galleries of Tammany Hall are densely crowded. There is a great crowd outside striving to obtain admittance, but a strong police force keeps them in order. The Convention was called to order at twenty minutes past 12 o'clock by August Belmont, chairman of'the Democratic National Committee; af ter saying that the country looked to the Convention by means of the Democratic organization to save the country. Mr. Belmont nominated Hon. Henry S. Palmer, of Wisconsin, temporary chairman, and the nomination was carried. Francis P. Blair, Senator Patterson, ex-Senator Bayard, and many men prominent in Southern politics before the war, are present as spectators. A large number of ladies are in the galleries. The crowds in the vicinity of Tammany Hall today rendered the streets almost impassable. There were over one thousand applications today for admission to the Convention. The Pendleton forces still preserve their enthu^ siasm and confidence. The Johnson men are few in number, but very determined. Hancock's supporters seem to be in a bad temper. Rumors of a letter from Chase bearing strongly on States rights excites attention. The southern delegates applaud Johnson for his amnesty proclamation enthusiastically. The rules of the Democratic Convention of 1864 were adopted. The Territories are excluded from any voice in the Convention. Committees on credentials, resolutions, and permanent organization were appointed, and after the reading ef the Declaration of Independence the Convention adjourned till Monday. The weather has been intensely hot all day. In the Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention, Hen. McClernan. of Illinois, was chosen temporary chairman. He welcomed true soldiers, whether from the North or South. Resolutions were proposed declaring the Convention merely auxiliary to the National Democratic Convention. General W. B. Franklin, of Connecticut, was nominated President of the Convention. STATE NEWS. A gossipy correspondent of the Mercury writing from Columbia on the 4th inst., gives some interesting facts about the new order of things about to be inaugurated there: We extract a few para| graphs: The inauguration of the Governor is expected on Monday. A number of citizens, it is understood, will publish a manifesto, calling upon the people of the State to stand by the new State government. Among these I have heard the names of Messrs. Jack Caldwell, J. P. Thomas, Daniel Miller, of Columbia, and Mr. F. W. Dawson, of your city. F. J. Moses, Jr., will not find it as easy to get the speakership as he did his elevation to the office of chief organizer of the negro militia. There are two other Richmonds in the field: 1st, R. B. Elliott, a black negro, from Massachusetts, but now a man and a brother from Edgefield. Whip per was spoken of a few days ago, but it is said ne has withdrawn in favor of his fellow-negro, the notorious Elliott 2d, Jencks the rice planter, kinsman of Pillsbury, the eloquent ex-quartermaster, has loomed up as a formidable rival, and Moses may not get to the promised land after all?although he has for some time had exclusive possession of the office on the slate. Generals Scott and Canbyand staff are expected here on Monday. Governor Orr is here waiting to be delivered of his message. This message, by the bye, I learn, is one of the longest ever sent to a South Carolina Legislature?not less than eleven columns of minion in the Mercury. Gov. Orr, I suppose, bears in mind the fact that the new government being raw at the business needs copious instructions, and in this document he very benevolently gives his parting paternal advice. Among the many rumors in circulation here today, was one stating that the Rads intend to keep the Democratic members of the House out in the cold. In Louisiana they tried this same trick a few days ago, bv requiring thb members of the Legislature to take the test oath. The General Commanding, however, overruled this, and the Democrats were sworn in. I do not see what the Rads expect to gain by such a course. Surely one hundred and five Radicals are not afraid of fifteen Democrats. Moreover, should these fanatics attempt such proscription, we do not believe GenCanby would permit it Mtyor D. T. Corbin, United States District Attorney, is spoken of as a candidate forjudge of the Supreme Bench. His friends are active, and both he and they feel confident of success. This is as it should be. With a carpet-bag Legislature, and a carpet-bag Executive, it is but right and proper that the judiciary also should partake of the same character. WASHINGTON NEWS. The bill of Mr. Edmunds in reference to the votes of the Southern States in the electoral college was called up by the author in the Senate today, and speedy action pressed upon it in order that it may become a law over the veto before the adjournment. The true object of the bill is to place it in the power of the majority of Congress to receive or exclude the votes of the Southern States for President, iust as it suits their partisan purposes. The manly speech of Mr. Trumbull in opposition to it leads to the hope that there may not be enough of revolutionary sentiment in the Senate te nasa it r?rer the President's head. Mr. Trumbull took the grouud that Congress bad no power to assume any supervision of the votes, but By the constitution its duty was confined to the simple conn ting of the votes. Mr. Stevens having somewhat modified his proposition to divide Texas, the reconstruction committee has agreed to report in favor of divi ding it into three States Some sixty or more clerks, of both sexes, in the Treasury Department received their walking papers to-day. Work is slack and appropriations have run out The President has issued an order, to take effect immediately, relieving Gen. McDowell from command in Mississippi and Arkansas, to be superseded for the present by General Gillera. The Senate judiciary committee at their meeting this morning, in consequence of the delay in the presentation to the House of the Butler reI port, again postponed action on the nomination of Mr. Evarts for Attorney General. A caucus of radical Senators, lasting nearly two hours, was held this morning. The principal subject of discussion was the funding bill, many of the Senators objecting strongly to the action of Mr. Sherman in seeking to attach it as a rider to the pending appropriation bill Mr. Sherman labored earnestly to convince his associates that as a party measure it was absolutely essential to act on the bill, and rehearsed his former opinions that the party cannot afford to go into the presidential elec tioD without tinkering somewhat at the hnanees. So great is the desire for the earliest possible adjournment that Mr. Sherman's arguments were unavailing, and yielding to the overwhelming sentiment of those who were present, he at last reluctantly consented to withdraw the bill as an amendment, with the promise given him that the bill will be taken up as a separate measure after the disposal of the tax bill. Mr. Sherman, however, gave notice that he would call up the funding bill as soon as the appropriation bill was disposed of. From present indications, the passage or the bill does not seem at all probable. A LIVE NEWSPAPER. There is a great deal of misapprehension about the "metaphysics" of the "public press;" none at all about the merits of a'good newspaper. Tall writing concerning its "liberty" has berome a habit with many of us, and others of us do not stop to think just what it means. A newspaper is a vehicle, like an omnibus, or street car, or railroad. It is intended for the convenience of people. They use it as it is most convenient to them; and, provided it be commodious and goes the way they want to go, they care little who edits it. Hence, the advantage of the anonymous; for all of us are desperately selfish at bottom. The journal is most successful which best serves the interests of the largest class of the community without regard to individual likes or dislikes. The day when a newspaper was an embodiment of the peculiar views of its editor, has passed away. One man can no longer edit a daily journal. The entire business has been multiplied by ten,? editors, printers, reporters, expenses. Tho best newspaper is that which gives the freshest news and more of it at the lowest market price. The rule that governs bacon governs the press. There is no spread-eagleism about it. There is no mystery. It is an open-and-shut affair like a Barlow knife. The best paper gets the most readers; and of consequence advertising flows in upon it, and so it prospers. Nor is this question of advertising a question of favor. It is, like all the rest, a question of selfish interest. "Drumming," as it is called, is merely alms-seeking; and a newspaper which has to "drum" for its livelihood had better "shut up shop.'' It is a precarious vocation. Wearies the public. Wears out its patrons. Does no permanent ffood. Let a press prove itself livest, freshest, cheapest, and it is sure to have readers; and whenever.the keen, unerrimr business discernment catches a whiff of this pleasant breeze, it pours in its advertising patronage. The day for fighting duels is over. The editor is no longer an exception, but a matter of fact. He is as other men, only he has to get up earlier, go to bed later, and work about twice as nard. Journalism, as we observed the other day in the course of some observations on the business of the modern reporter, has undergone a complete revolution within the last ten or a dozen years. So much so, indeed, that if an rtjual ratio of improvements be kept up, there is little reason to doubt that the daily press will ultimately crowd what is called ephemeral literature from the market It will itself thenceforward sijpply mental diet to the public, which will have no leisure for books after it has read the morning paper. Louisville Journal. POLITICAL GOSSIP. As the period approaches for the Legislature to assemble, there is a good deal of stir among the Republicans with reference to the offices to be filled during the session. Candidates are as thick as blackberries, and whatever promises most largely of profit will be the subject of extensive purchase ana sale. We understand that the contest for the Speakership of the House will be animated, if not bitter. The prominent white candidate therefor is Mr. F. J. Moses, Jr., but it is said that the colored members propose to run one of their own race?probably W. J. Whipper, of Beaufort. Indeed, the statement has been openly made by some of them that "this thing of giving all the fat offices to the white men was about played out. and as they had a majority of the votes in the Legislature they in tended that, their color should have a fair showing, especially in the race for Speakership." We hear that Mr. Moses was emphatically told that he might haul down his colors, for the determination was to make a black man the presiding officer of the body. The disaffection has assumed such a threatening shape as to give agood deal of concern to the leaders; because, if the issue is broadly drawn, the result will come before they are prepared for it, and may prove 'disadvantageous to themselves and the party. With a very few exceptions among white men who would affiliate with the other side, a break of this character would divide the household, and array white against black? a contest in which the negro must go to the wall. Endeavors are being made to conceal the disturbance, and to have it settled in caucus; but the colored members are bold in the assertion of their "rights," and are likely to make a fierce stand upon them. Reference has been made to the message of Governor Orr. It is not known definitely whether it will be delivered "as information" to the Legislature, or addressed to General Canby as the military custodian of the State. Even if Governor Orr had not been removed by the military authorities "to simplify matters," there was a disposition on the part of the General Assembly to ignore him altogether, lest his recognition as an outgoing Executive would have seemed a recognition of the "rebel rule" of President Johnson. As the matter now stands, the vast amount of valuable statistical information concerning the condition of the State, which the Governor has prepared as an official document, must emanate, if at all, from a private individual. and be addressed like any other information to the Legislature, or to General Canby, as he may determiue. There is too much of public interest in the document for it to be hidden under a bushel, and thecommunity will be anxious to know the condition of affairs in South Carolina, prior to her transfer into the untried hands of the new regime. In our judgment, the most appropriate course to be pursued, is for Governor Orr to ren der this account .of his stewardship through the public press "To the People of South Carolina." The rivalry for the United States senatorship appears to be confined chiefly to Dr. A. G. Mackey and Mr. F. A. Sawyer. Parson French is also in the ring, but his chances, from all we learn, are few aud far between. The irrepressible C. P. Leslie, senator from Barnwell, is in the city working like a beaver, it is believed, in the interest of Dr. Mackey. Fond of collecting personal statistics and using them in debate. never mincing words when he has any truth to be told, he is as warm a partisan as he is a bitter opponent So that we may expect lively discussions in the Legislature when the canvass commences on its floor. The United States marshalship is promised to a white man. What will become of Mr. Epping, the incumbent, we have not heard, but he will probably have something to say in the matter. It is declared upon good authority that Timothy Hurley has been assigned the position of editor in chief of a new Republican paper which is to be established in Columbia. Tnc office will be supported by Government advertising and the printing of the Legislature. It will be a "stockholders' enterprise," and the prominent members of the party are represented to be earnest in the promotion of the enterprise to the extent of a liberal contri bution each.?Charleston News. t A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE. For several weeks past the fashionable circles at Washington have been tnuch interested, in an ticiSation of the marriage of Senator Hendereom of lissouri, to Miss Mar? Foote, daughter of lion. Elisha Foote, of New York, and head of the Appeal Board of the Patent Office. Miss Foote, for several winters past, has been one of the belles jf Washington, and tne announcement of her engagement with the Senator from Missouri, created nuite a sensation among the elite of Washington. A few days since over six hundred cards were issued to the friends of the couple, for the marriage ceremony, which took place to day, at twelve o'clock, at the National Hotel, and was one of the most brilliant affairs ever witnessed at the national capital. The magnificent parlors of the hotel were tastefully and profusely decorated with rare and fragrant flowers, whose rich perfume filled the atmosphere. The heavy lace curtains at the windows and over the archway connecting the two parlors were covered with ivy and evergreens, while rich bouquets distributed about the room?prominent among which was a magnificent one presented by the ladies of the Executive Mansion?fairly transformed the drawing rooms to flowery gardens of exquisite beauty. Immediately opposite to the archway ? and at the far end of the parlors, a canopy of white lace, enwreathed with white lilies, was erected over a large mirror, beneath which the marriage ceremony took fdacc in the presence of a most distinguished and ashionable assemblage. The President of the United States and General Grant, Chief Justice Chase, eminent statesmen, celebrated diplomatic Cabinet Ministers, distinguished army and nary officers. and urominent officials, with hundrals of beautiful and accomplished ladies, whose rich and costly toilets wonderfully added to the effectiveness of the scene, were present The Chinese Embassy also attended. The guests began to arrive slowly shortly after eleven o'clock, and bv noon the parlors were crowded. The Senate took a recess to attend. At twelve the bridal party entered and marched through the parlors beneath the canopy above described, where the ceremony took place, Rev. Dr. Pinckney, of the Church of the Ascension (Episcopal,) officiating; Senator James A. Fowler, of Tennessee, and Mr. F. Arnold, of New York, acting as groomsmen : Miss Catharine Beach, of Saratoga Springs, New York, and Miss Angusta Foote, sister of the bride, as bridesmaids. The bride was dressed in a very heavy white silk, with gored skirt, full Empress train, and low corsage, with lace trimming. Over this was a dress of pure white illusion, hanging in graceful folds and forming a pleasant contrast to the rich silk underdress. It was finished with two narrow flounces around the bottom of the skirt. A handsome sash, with bows of white silk, encircled the waist. Her rich curls were surmounted with a handsome wreath of orange blossoms, from which was suspended an elegant tulle veil, which fell behind to the hem of the dress. . After an elaborate reception the bridal party left this evening for the North?Cincinnati Commercial. jjiitanctaT aiih Cwtrcial. YOBKVILLE PRICE8 CURBJSHT. corrected weekly by carroll, clark a co.

Corn.?The arrivals from Tennessee by rail continue in fair supply, and prices of mixed mav be quoted at about $1.23 to $1,24 per bushel, wefght, sacks included, by the car load from the depot, and $1.25 to $1.26 per bushel for white. In a few instances sales have taken place at concessions on these prices, but they are perhaps exceptional and hardly quotable. Some 3,000 bushels of Baltimore white were sold to arrive at $1.30per bushel weight, sacks included. Flour.?The continued favorable appearance of the crop, and the consequent general exf>ectation of lower rates, causes much caution on the part of buyers, and they only purchase to meet immediate wants. The general tendency of prices is to decline, and most holdersare free sellers, even at moderate concessions. It is difficult to give reliable rates, but Northern and Western brands may be quoted nominal at $10 per barrel for super, $11 per barrel for extra, and $12 to $13 per barrel for family. There have been no receipts of new Southern worthy of mention, and until receipts increase quotations are nominal. Bacon.?The demand for all classes of meat continues very light, and prices tend rather in favor of the purchaser.

WITHER SPOON EIIV4N, " j '! ?j. . ?; tv: fa-.: odvr f jhe issue of the YORKVILLE ENQUIRER br the 4th of JUNE, will be commenced the Ucfltion of the above thrilling and Interesting velette, written.expreesly for its <joiu*?na, bjr one of the most popular authors of thty State. The principal scenes of the story are laid in Charleston ' and vicinity, and the story cannot fail to prove interesting to all who are familiar with the eventi which occurred in that localitv'dutfng the Tate war. . ^ One of the most painful circumstances connected with the heroic defence of Charleston, during its three years of siege, Is to be found in :be fket, that daring all this time, there were persons In the cilv. "in high, life.'1 who were engaged as spies In sending information to the besiegers. Drawings of the fortifications were furnished, weak point* noted, and the movements of troops Indicated as soon as begun, and the fleet notified of the time of arrival and departure of blockade running weasels. So cautiously did these emissaries of. the enemy conduct their work, that fbr along time the skill of the most eminent detectives was baffled in their endeavors to break up the illicit correspondence. These spies were the source of extreme annoyance to the Commanders in Charleston, and the information they were enabled to fur nun, oiten tnwartea their nest matured designs upon the enemy. An a proof of the completeness or this conspiracy, it may be remarked, that Utfi daily papers of the city were frequently read on board the blockade fleet, the same day of their publication. ; * j'l .'.j< . ,:i * The author of "ISOLETTE, OR THE FEMALE SPY," has token the principal characters and incidents in this aflhlr, and under assumed names, has presented them in the form of a thrilling, and well written romance, historic and Imaginative. The circumstances of thfc'story-are detailed as beginning on James Islaad,.and<in nopnectiou with some of the South Carolina. Reg^ raents stationed there. After manv thrilling adventures in which the "femaie spy'^flgurea largely, the heroes of the plot follow their regiment to Virginia, before the walls of .'Petersburg. The surrender of General Lee's Army in 1886, finds them again among the Santee hills, where the narrative closes.
