V?T.TTTYTE VT -TOMBER 844] CHARLESTON, S. C., SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1868. [EIGHTEEN CENTS A WEEK BY TELEGEAPHi IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON. TEE PRESIDENT PROCLAIMS AMNESTY. W.4SHTNGI0N, July 3.-The President to? morrow will i gene the following : BT THE PEESTUEST 0? THE UNITED STATES. A PROCLAMATION. Whereas, in the month ol Joly, Anno Domini 1861, in accepting the condition.of civil war, ~ which was brought about by insurrection and rebellion in several of the States which consti? tute the United States,. the two- Houses of Con? gress did solemnly declare that the war was not waged on the part of the government in any Bpirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of concraestor subjugation, nor for any purpose of overthrowing cr interfering with the rights or established institutions of the States, but oftfy to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitution of the United States, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equali? ty and rights of the several States unimpaired, and that so soon as those objects should be ac? complished the war on the part of the govern? ment ehoold cesse; And whereas, the Pr?sident of the United States has heretofore, in the spirit of that declaration, and with the view of securing for ita ultimate and complete effect set forth seve? ral proclamations offering amnesty and par? don to persons who had been or were ooncern . edin the aforesaid rebellion, which proclama? tions, however, were attended with prudential reservations and exceptions then deemed ne? cessary and proper, and which proclamations were respectively issued on the eighth day of December, 1863, on the twenty-sixth day of March, 1864, on the twenty-ninth day of Hay, j 1865, and on the seven th day of September, 1867; and whereas the said lamentable civil war has long since altogether ceased, with an acknowledgment by all the States of the supre? macy of the, Federal Constitution and the gov? ernment thereunder, and there- no longer ex? ist shy reasonable ground to apprehend a re * nowa! of tho said civil, war, or any foreign in? terference, or any- unlawful resistance by any I portion of the people of : any ?. of ' the States to I 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 military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridgement of freedom o/ speech and of-,the" press, and suspension of j tAe privilege of habr?s corpus and the right cf trial by jury, .such encroachments upon oar free institutions in times of peace being I * dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizen, contrary to the genius and Bpirit of our re? publican form of government and exhaustive of the national resources; And xchenas, it is believed that amnesty and pardon will tend to secure a complete-and universal establishment and prevalence of I municipal law and order, in conformity with the Constitution of the United States, and to . \ ' I remove all appearances or presumptions of a retaliatory or vindictive " policy.on the part of the government, attended by unnecessary dis? qualifications, paina, penalties, confiscations and (harxanchisement8."and on the contrary, j to promote and procure complete and fraternal reconciliation among the whole people, with due submission to the Constitution and laws. Now, therefore, be it known that I, Andre tv -Johnson; President of the United States, do. I y by virtue of the Constitution, and in the name of the people of the United States, hereby pro? claim and declare unconditionally, and without -reservation, to ail and to every person who, directly or indirectly, participated in the I ate insurrection or rebellion, excepting such per? sons as may be .under presentment or in? dictment in any Court of the United States having competent jurisdiction, ripon a charge of treason or other felony, a full pardon and ' amnesty for the offence of trtaeon against the United States, or of adhering to their enemies daring the late civil war, with restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves, and except also as to any property of which any person may have been legally divested under the laws of the United States. In testimony whereof I have signed these pres? ents with my and and have caused the seal of the United States to be hereunto affixed. Done at the City of Washington, the fourth day of Joly, in the year of our Lord one thou? sand eight hundred and sixty-eight, and of j the independence of the United States of America the ninety-third.

Adjourned to Monday. WASHINGTON, J my 3.-The report of the Cor? ruption Committee covers over twenty columns, and is without either positive facts or asser? tions. It labors to show the probability that money was raised and naed to acquit Presi? dent Johnson. The amount of dirt thrown is amazing-scarcely a friend of the President or prominent political opponent escapes. . Trie New York Convention. NEW YOEE,-July 3.-The papers are full of speculation and the street full of rumors, but there is no real change in the situation. Pen-1 dleton's friends are sanguine. Death of a Scoundrel.

[FEB ATLAKTIO TELEGRAPH.] THE BAX TIMORE AND BREMEN 8TEAMRHTP LINE THE UNITED STATES TS. TEE ARMANDS-THE FRENCH BUDGET. PABIS, Joly 1.-The case of the United States TB. the Armande, builders of Confederate iron? clads, came before the court today. Berryer, as counsel for the United States, opened the case. He charged the Armands with having ?violated their own pledges, and with acting in bad faith toward all parties. By their con? duct they had exposed France at a critical moment, to the risk of w*r with the United States. He recited the facts of the case, and showed the falsity of the allegations that ef? forts had been made to sell the Tessels built for th J Confederate Government to other powers. He demanded that all contractors, builders, and others concerned in th?? busi? ness, be compelled to refund the money stolen from private pockets. The Advocate-General will reply on the 8th instant. , In .the [Corps L?gislatif to-da*tbe debate on the budget was continued. M. Thiers deplored the military preparations which were still going on, and feared an outbreak of war and conse? quent national bankruptcy. BBEH?N% July 1.-The North German Lloyds are building two additional steamers for the Baltimore and Bremen line, so that the trips may be made: semi-monthly. . Affairs in Georgia. ATLANTA, July 3.-In compliance with tele ? graphic orders from General Grant, Genera] Meade issues orders appointing Bullock Gover? nor of Georgia, vice General Buger, removed, to take effect to-morrow on the assembling of th? Legislature. Also, Wm. H.Smith, Gover? nor of Alabama, mee Patton, removed, and A. J. Applegate, Lieutenant-Governor, td take effect July 12. The prosecution testimony on the trial of the Columbus prisoners is strong against the accused. General Bobert Toombs is here, organizing the Democratic party. Affairs in North Carolina. RALEIGH (N. C.), July 3.-In the Senate to? day Judge Osborne, senator elect from Meck? lenburg, presented his credentials, which were referred to the committee of investigation. The President of the Senate having ruled that the General Assembly having adopted the Howard amendment, it had the force of law in the State, though not yet a part of the Con? stitution of the United States, hence he will not admit persone barred by it. Mr.'Bobbins, senator from Bowan, offered resolutions in substance, that North Carolina declares that .the fundamental conditions in the Omnibus bill providing for the readmission of the States, shall forever be held without legal force or effect as to this State, and that the declaration is made not to obstruct a settle? ment and union, but to avoid the consequences of silent acquiescence in or approval of a doc? trine fraught with danger to the rights of all the States. - Two negro doorkeepers were elected in the House and. one in -the-Senat e. GOT. Holden delivers his inaugural address to-morrow. Affairs in Virginia. RICHMOND, July 8.-^Tbe Supreme Court of Virginia reversed the decision of the Lower Court in the case of Clafflin, of New York, against Steinbeck & Co., and decided that the attachment against the latter for forty-eight thousand dollars was issued on good grounds and must stand. A party of seventy-five young ladies from the Seminary at Elmira, New York, arrived to-day and visited the points of interest, and to-night attended a hop given in their honor at th?; Spotswood Hotel. National Insult. SAN FRANCISCO,. July 8.-The crew and finally Captain Bridge of the war steamer Chanticler were searched afc Mazatlan. Captain Bridgo claiming that this action of th (^Mazatlan au thorrrres waa a -national insult, notified them of his intention to bombard the place, but under remonstrance of the American Consul, merely blockaded Mazatlan against Mexican vessels, permitting those of other nations to pass freely. ? _ Collision of Steamers. NEW LOTTO*, July 3,-The steamers City of Boston am . State of New York collided at the mouth of Connecticut River in a fog. Three Uves were lost and many hurt on both sides, as they were crowded with passengers. THE PAPAL BATTALION.-Archbishops Spald? ing, Purcell, McCloskey, and Kenrick issue a card, in which they say that the Pope needs pecuniary, not military aid; and they urge contributions from the faithful. In regard to the battalion proposed to be raised in this country, they ESJ that the idea did not origi? nate with them. They add: It has emanated from and been persistently urged on the military authorities at Rome, by some party or parties who have assumed to represent us, not only without our sanction or authority, but even without our knowledge ; and what renders this the more remarkable, is the fact, that the gentleman who has suc? ceeded in securing for ? mself, in advance, the appointment of Lieutenant Colonel, to nave command of the proposed battalion, is one who we feel bound to Bay, does not enjoy and is not entitled to enjoy our confidence ; especi? ally in a position of so high responsibility and trust. If he has found encouragement and support from one or two journals edited by Cat hobo laymen whi h have given place to his ill-advised correspondence, this does not strengthen his daims ; inasmuch as the jour? nals referred to are not to be recognized as reliable exponents i f Catholic views or senti? ments, still less as discreet or commendable advocates of the Catholic cause. k The New York Freeman's Journal receives a very hard slap in this last sentence, for that paper has been especially active in backing up the Papal Battalion and its chief. CROP REPOSTS roost THE STATE.-The wheat in York is harvested, and some already threshed. The yield is said to be poor-far below the lowest estimates given a few weeks since. -Many sections of the District are ex? periencing a drought not yet very hurtful, however. The last general' ram fell on the 7fch ult., since which tune partial Bhowera have' fallen in some sections. As to the prospect in Kershaw, the Camden Journal says: The cotton crops of the district are doing well, but the corn on the uplands is suffering from the effects of the drought that has prevailed for the past three weeks. lu Borne {arts of the District, we understand, it has een badly injured. The wheat crop lias been harvested, and BO far as we have heard, the yield has been an average one. The Bennettsv?le Journal is sanguine in regard to the crops in Marlboro'. It say-,: "We have seen the crops in several sections o' the district, and must congratulate our pe ->le upon the scarcity of yras-s and the excelle, t condition in which they are. At this time las year, there was a general complaint, which was well lounded, that it was almost impossible to keep the crops clean. We think there ?B at least) one-third more com planted in thc dis? trict this year than last, and/not more than two-thirds as much cotton, yet wo believe from the ^appearance of the cotton crop now there will be as much mad?. With good seasons in ' July, cur people Pill make an abundance of ; corn for home consumption, and the proceeds ! of the cotton crop can bs employed o:h;rw:?e i than in buying pro visions n-xt yt ar." J THE NEW YORK ' COS VEX Til) N. CONTINUED ARRIVAL OJ? DELEGATES-GOVERNOR SETM0UB AND THE PENDLETON INTEREST EXPECTED LETTES FEOM CHASE-THE PLAT? FORM AND RECONSTRUCTION- A NICE POINT UNSETTLED. The New York correspondent of the Wash? ington Star, writing under date of Jone 30, says: There have been large arrivals of delegates since yesterday. Each delegate is accompa? nied by at least five ontsiders and alternates, and, judging from the active caucusing now go? ing on, the city will be, ere the close of the week, full of political excitement. The gene? ral situation does not seem to be changed since my last letter-unie BS undue strength be conceded to the slight demonstrations made in Gov. Seymour's favor. His speech at the Cooper Institute was carefully prepared in adranoe of its deb very and submitted to many of the magnates of the party. It was intended to impress the Con? vention with the necessity of making the finan? cial question one of the Doldest planks of the platform, rather than to present the Governor prominently as a Presidential candidate, lt will be remembered that last fall he wrote no less tuan two letters, announcing bis positive declination, and bis opponents intend to use them against him. The Pendleton' men, however, on the whole, seem pleased with the movement made in Seymours interest, and, failing to nominate their own candidate, will consolidate their influence on th? latter. Indeed Mr. Pendleton's discreet friends feel quite convinced that the two-thirds rule of the Convention will not be repealed, and that as a consequence their candidate will not be nominated. v On the fifth or sixth ballot the best posted politicians declare that Hendricks or Hancock will be ahead, with the chances in favor of the former. Chase will be loBt eight of by that time, and Pendleton will be sadly in the mi? nority. The ex-rebel Generals Hill and Gor? don, and several other prominent Southern men, favor Chase and the adoption of a liberal platform; but, outside of New York and the South, he has no strength whatever. Not a New England man is for him. Much depends, . however, as regards Chase, on some authorita? tive exposition of views, which, it is hinted, . will be forthcoming by Sunday next. In this -contingency the Chief Justice may become suddenly as prominent with the. delegatee as he ie now iri the newspapers and among the \ outsiders. The Pacific delegation, with its headquarters ! at the Worth House, are pressing the name of ? Associate Justice Field for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency-especially the latter position; ! but he has no political friends tn tue East. Among the other candidates for the second place on the ticket are ex-Governor Bramlette. John Quincy Adams, John T. Hoffman, General ] Frank Blair, Jr., Governor English, Governor . Parker, an I Governor Swann. The platform will be of a most positive char- I acter. The delegates, with one accord, oppose any planks of negative generalities. Among ! other things it will declare for a general am- . nesty, and vigorously denounce the present ? Congressional reconstruction policy as the off? spring of "a military despotism," and without 1 warrant in the law or the Constitution. But at . the same time the delegates speculate on the . electoral votes from certain Southern States, . which can only be secured by the fullest exer- ? eise of the universal suffrage provided origin- 1 ally through the reconstruction laws 1 For in? stance, the Democrats claim Georgia and Mis- ' sissippi, and, since the local elections in that 1 State, even South Carolina. In each of these S ates the vote will be cast indirectly under I fie reconstruction laws. How will the party be able to repudiate it in one case and accept . -the-practicel result of the reconstruction law? in another? This is already a troublesome ' question. The New York correspondent of the National j Intelligencer speculates as follows: Of the named candidates for the Presidential j nomination there are about twenty, but quite two-thirds of these have been suggested by a < solitary enthusiastic friend, with neither expec- j tation nor hope that bis motion will ever re? ceive a second. Mr. Seymour is generally re- ] g arded as out of the contest; and, as settling the question of bis probable candidacy, it mav ] be stated, that by common accord be is named i ! as the permanent presiding officer of the Con? vention. The only candidates mentioned thus , far among the delegates are: Pendleton, Han? cock, Chase, Hendncks, Johnson, and Judge Field. It is conceded that Pendleton will go into the Convention with a larger number of delegates than any of those above named. Mr. Pendleton's friends 1 claim that he will have on first ballot < nearly orquite one hundred and fifty votes; ; -and that whether he shall afterwards receive a greater number than this or not, the Pendle- . ton men will nevertheless name the successful candidate before the Convention; so that, as- j suming this proposition to be well founded, ; the Pendleton must be the controlling element ' in the coming Convention, whether Pendleton be nominated or not. His opponents, however, assert with great confidence that Pendleton will never receive a greater number of votes on any ballot than he gets on the first, and that after the first or second ballot bis supporters j will scatter, some going for his competitor, some for that, but no united votes going over to any one candidate. Mr. Chase has com? paratively few supporters amongst the regular politicians and manipulators, but he is quite 4 strong amongst the rank and file, the people, j and those who care nothing for position nor patronage in the party-thoee who sincerely desire success for the country's good.

A correspondent of the Richmond Dispatch, witing from the University of Virginia, at Charlottesville, on Commencement Day (June W), says: The public hall was crowded this morniDg x> hear the address of General John S. Pres? i?n, of South Carolina, before the Washington md Jefferson Literary Societies. He was re? lived wiih tLe most vociferous applause, ivhich compelled him to remain standing for several minutes, and permitted the audience :o gaze upon one of tho noblest lopking men I iver saw. His splendid figure, erect as an ar? row, noble countenance lighted with fires of ?en ins, martial bearing, and heavy gray mous? tache, reminded one of an old Marshal of France in the proud days of Napoleon's power ind glory. After sketching the oration, which was, in the main, an impassioned eulogy of Virginia,. tho corre- pondent says: It is impossible to describe the effect of this speech. Cheer alter cheer interrupted thc noble old Roman as with clear ringing voice and easy, graceful gesture he gave utterance to words which thrilled every heart and brought tears to eyes unused to weep. The above is onlv a very meagre sketch of the speech which held the audience spell-bound for over two hours, but which so sparkled with gems in every eenteice that even the belles and beaux ceased their clatter and gave undi? vided attention. After the deafening cheers bad somewhat subsided, there were loud and continued calls for Hampton. He arose, and as be stood to await the ceasing of the deafening cheers with which he was greeted, we could not but recall the days when his raven locks could be seen leading brave legions to victory. He thanked the young men from his heart for the call they had made end the kindness with which they had greeted him. Their cheers reminded bim of those he used to heal1 on the battle-field, telling where Vir? ginia chivalry led the way to victory. He came from the noble and gallant State of South Carolina, which yielded to none in her devotion to the .cause of right, though Bte now sits and weeps in sackcloth and ashes. But he bad listened with pleasure equal to that of any present to the glowing eulogy upon Vir? ginia, for dorine four glorious years he, too, was a citizen of virginia, and claimed a part in her proud heritage. He doubted not that he was called out because it was his proud privi ledge to have belonged to the "Army of North? ern Virginia"-the noblest army that ever . marched on God's earth-and to have led Virginians as well as brave sons from other States. As commander of the"cavalry sorps of the Army of Northern Virgioia, he had tried to do full justice to all, from what? ever State they came, and to reward true merit wherever found, whether covered.by the braided coat of tho officer or the tattered jac? ket of the private soldier. He saw before him some of the men he used to lead, and hailed thia as the greeting of the Cavalry Corps, Army Northern Vu-ginia, to their old com? mander. In the Dame of that glorious old corps-in the name of its fallen as well as liv? ing heroes, he returned most hearty thanks tor this cordial greeting. General Hampton was frequently interrupt sd by deafening cheers, whim were long con? tinued after be took his seat. But wbeu the band struck up "Dixie," the audience knew no ironnds to their enthusiasm, and made the roof ring with cheer after cheer. ITEMS OF STATE NEWS.?-The storehouse and kitchen of Mr. V. S.
