The New Ycrk Herald has the following concern
ing the trial of Wirz, the Andersonville prison
keeper :
"The court-martial convened to try Henry Wirz,
keeper of the Andersonville rebel prison pen, met
yesterday, when Judge Advocnto Chipmnn read a
War Department order dissolving the former com
mission in the case, but convening a new one
composed of the eame members. These being
sworn in, Wirz was again arraigned, and the
charge and specifications, in the main the same as
the previous onc?, were read. They omit, however,
the names of General Lee, rebel war Secretary
Seddon, and rebel Commissary of Subsistence
Northrop, who were at first indicted with Wirz,
but retain the charges of conspiracy, murder,
cruel punishment and barbarity. The two gentle
men who acted as the prisoner's counsel objected
to these proceedings, and asked for a delay to give
time to prepare tho proper defence. Subsequent
ly, however, both of them, after an extended
conference with Judge Advocate Chipman, aban
doned the case and left the court room, and the
latter gentleman was appointed by the President
of the commission to defend the accused. The
court then adjourned till noon to-duy."

A Bpccial "Washington dispatch, dated August
23, to tho N. Y. World, aaya :
"The unmistakably hostile movement of Spain
with regard to San Domingo have not been quietly
passed by here. It is generally believed that the
government will, at least, oppono diplomacy to
every aggression attempted by Spain, and perhaps
adopt even stronger measures to protect the Domi
nicans. Tho course of the Spanish government
concerning San Domingo in tho early part of our
civil war was, for obvious reasons, permitted to
have its effect without a protest from tho United
States; bnt now that the war ?b over, there is euf??
cient reason to think that any new menaco or in
vasion of a friendly country, on the part of Spain,
will not go unheeded by our government. And
Franco may bo given to understand that she may
take tho action of the Unitod States in tho San
Domingo matter as a hint to herself."

Notwithstanding the restriction for tho present

don applicants, tho White House was again
crowded to-day, even in excess of previous days.
Among tho crowd in attendance were twenty-five
ladies, who were all received at onoe by the Presi

A Washington dispatch to tho Now York Herald
of the 22d inst. saya :
RESTORATION OF SOUTHERN ESTATES TO PARDONED
OWNERS.
During the past week upwards of a dozen citi
zens of tho South, who had obtained their par
done, made personal application at the Freed
men's Bureau for the restoration of lands which
had been taken Into the custody of the bureau.
On production of tho certificates of pardon, the
applicants were furnished with orders upon tho
local agents of tho bureau in tho South for tho
restoration of the property claimed, with the
provision that the owners bo made to compensate
the blacka for tho crop? thoy may bo cultivating
thereon, or leave them in undisturbed possession
until the same are harvested.
A special dispatch to tho Tribune, dated Wash
ington 22d, says:
A NEW IilJIlEATI?PARDONS.
The President seems to liavo taken a decided
Btand in the matter of pardons to participants in
the rebellion. Ho to-day instructed tho Attornoy
Goneral's office to issue no more warrants of par
don to applicant? of the 120,000 class, as nono
wonld receive his attention. Owing to tho utter
inability of tho President to attend to the deluge
of boaineas pouring in upon him daily, feo h,fts ?oq- i
eluded to establish an "Executive Bureau," of
which ho Las already appoiuted John Wilson, Esq.,
tho well known and ablu Third Auditor of the
Treasury, as chief. Mr. WilBon, who has been or
dered to report on tho first proximo, will havo full
chargo of tho ordinary routine of business, and
will dieposo of all eaacB, pardons included, refer
ring to tho PrcHidcut such matters only a? aro im
peratively neccsBrry for Iub action. A vast amount
ofurumportant business is daily crowded upon the
President, and tho organization of such a bureau
will doubtless provo a great relief to his over
strained capacities.
