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.

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?

NEW YORK, iSept. li.-Private let?
ters from the Qity of Mexico to Au?

the most tyrannous form of martial
law. Oh the 28th of August, M.
ZamacOna,formerly Minister of State;

man, together with twenty-six others,

. 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

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.
Mr. Punch says it is no use to sa
to-cLty is a bad day, for it is the bet
we shall got until to-morrow.

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. Shall the Presider
give direction, purpose and tone t
it, or shall it take ils tone and sha}]
from Sumner, Phillips, Stevens an
the rest of the radicas? 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.
