DOMESTIC.
RECONSTRUCTION.
Two proclamations were issued by Presi
dent Johnson, June 13, looking to recon
struction. One removes all restrictions from
trade with the greater part of the South, in
the following terms: " Now, therefore, be it
known, that I, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, do hereby declare that
all restrictions upon internal, domestic and
coastwise, intercourse and trade, and upon
the removal of products of States heretofore
declared in insurrection—reserving and ex
cepting only those relating to contraband of
war, as hereinafter recited, and also those
which relate to the reservation of rights of
the United States to property purchased in
the territory of an enemy—heretofore imposed
in the territory of the United States east of
the Mississippi River, are annulled, and I do
hereby direct that they be forthwith removed,
and that on and after the - Ist day of July
next all restrictions upon foreign commerce
with said ports, with the exception and reser
vation aforesaid l be removed, and that the
commerce of said States shall be conducted
under the supervision of the regularly ap
pointed officers of customs provided by law;
and such officers of the customs shall receive
any captured and abandoned property that
may be turned over to them under the law by
the military and naval forces of the United
States, and dispose of such property . as shall
be directed by the Secretary of the Treas
ury.''
The State of Tennesse is recognized as fully
restored to the Union, with the following
conditions: "But nothing herein contained
shall be considered or construed as in anywise
changing or impairing any of the penalties
and forfeitures for treason heretofore incurred
under the laws of the United States, or any
of the provisions, restrictions, or disabilities
set forth in my proclamation bearing date the
29th day of May, 1865, or as impairing exist
ing regulations for the suspension of the
habeas corpus and the exercise of military law
in cases where it shall be necessary for the
general public safety and welfare during the
existing insurrection; nor shall this procla
mation affect or in any way impair any laws
heretofore passed by Congress and duly ap
proyed by the President, or any proclamation
or orders issued by him during the aforesaid
insurrection abolishing slavery, whether of
persons or property ; but on the contrary, all
such laws and proclamations heretofor made
or issued are expressly saved and declared to
be in full force and virtue."
Another proclamation appoints William L.
Sharkey Provisional Governor of the State of
Mississippi with duties assigned him, as fol
lows : "At the earliest practicable period to
prescribe such rules and regulations as may
be necessary and proper for convening a con
vention, composed of delegates to be chosen
by that portion of the_people of said State
who are loyal to the U . nited States and no
others, for the purpose of altering and
amending the constitution thereof ; and with
authority to exercise, within the limits of
said State, all the powers necessary and pro
per to enable such loyal people of the State
of Mississippi to restore said State to its con
stitutional relations to the Federal Govern
ment, and to present such a republican form
of State government as will entitle the State
to the guarantee of the United States there
fore, and its people to protection by the
United States against invasion, insurrection
and domestic violence."
All voters must have taken the'• oath of
amnesty, as prescribed in the Proclamation
of May 29th. " And the said convention
when convened, or the Legislature that may
be thereafter assembled, will prescribe the
qualification of electors, and the eligibility of
persons to hold office under the constitution
and laws of the State—a power the people of
the several States composing the Federal
Union, have rightfully exercised from the
origin of the government to the present
time."
The various heads of departments and mil
tary and other authorities are enjoined to
carry out the necessary arrangements to com
plete the restoration of the State to its civil
relations.
On the same basis as above named for Mis
sissippi, the President has appointed Andrew
J. Hamilton Provisional Governor of Texas,
and James Johnson Provisional Governor of
Georgia. We regret to add that all the Pro
visional Governors are represented as opposed
to negro sufliage.
OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD MEXICO
General Brown, from Brownsville, sent a
letter to General Mejia, of the army of the
old republic, notifying him of the desire of
our Government to preserve amicable rela
tions with the republic of Mexico, and inclos
ing an extract from the instructions from the
nited States Secretary of State, to the ef
fect that we practice absolute non-interven
tion and non-interference in Mexico, and
stating that it would devolve upon him,
Brown, as far as practicable, to prevent aid
or supplies being given from the United
States to either belligerent. General Brown
adds that the troops under his command will
not be permitted in any manner to interfere
in the present relations of Mexico.
THE ASSASSINATION PLOT.
A vigorous attempt has been made by
Payne's council to prove him insane—proof
of desperation on their part. On Wednes
day Dr. Jas. C. Hall withdrew or retracted
the testimony he had previously given as to
the suspicion he held of Payne's insanity and
declared that there was no evidence of men
tal insanity in Payne. Several other physi
cians, including the one who has had charge
of him, testified their belief in his sanity.
Reverdy Johnson's argument against the
jurisdiction of the court was read on Monday.
THE SOUTH.
ligPEFUL INDICATIONS.-With many sad
sto s of destitution and suffering in the late
rebel districts,- we have some tokens of a very
different and quite encouraging character.
The correspondent of the N. Y. Times,
writing from Charleston, June 10th, says :
" Notwithstanding the heated term which
we are at present experiencing, the business
men of the city are quite elated over the suc
cess which attends their efforts. Life and
activity prevail on every hand. In three
months' time Charleston will be one of the
most lucrative places for business on the At
lantic coast. Two months ago any number
of unoccupied buildings could be counted,
but now these same buildings are occupied
by merchants, and there is yet a demand for
others. We cannot get along without the
rebuilding of the burnt district, and I learn
that it is the intention of capitalists to go
forward in that enterprise without delay."
A special dispatch from Mobile to the
Times states that a reconstruction meeting
was held in that city on the 6th, which asked
for a Military Governor and permission to
take steps to get back into the Unio n . Af
fairs in the interior of Alabama are quiet and
hopeful. The soldiers are at home cultivat
ing their crops, and business is reviving.
Commander Maury, who sneaked away to
England at the commencement of the war, is
desirous of following his native State back
into the Union, and has addressed a letter,
dated at sea, to the commander of our naval
forces in the Gulf of Mexico, requesting per
mission to return on parole.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger states that he has just
been informed of the safe arrival of Benja
min, the Confederate " Secretary of State,"
at Bermuda. Breckinridge and Trenholm,
it is feared, have also made good their es
cape.
The exceptions under the amnesty act,
supposed, in the first place, to cover but the
eight-hundredth part of the, Southern popu
lation, will amount to almost nothing at the
rate they are said to be disposed of in Wash
ington. The "Specials "
. to the NTimes
of the 15th, contains the following paragraph
on the subject. We take it that the excep
tions under the amnesty act are referred to
as otherwise petitions for pardon would not
be required : "Petitions for pardon from
leading men of the late rebellion are coming
in by the hundred :per day, and the Attor
ney-General and his assistants are over
whelmed with the work of examining and
passing upon them. Each case has some
peculiarity in it, and consequently no general
form of pardon can be practically adopted to
save labor, Among the men of note whose
petitions were received to-day are Major-
General Ed. Johnson and Joseph R. Ander
son, of the Tredegar Iron Works. The latter
gentleman is in this city with his family. The
late Mayor of Savanah is also an applicant,
and the leading citizens of the South are re
ceiving the executive clemency at the rate of
about twenty-five cases per day. A clause is
now inserted in the pardon intended to pre
vent the applicant from claiming in the courts
exemption from the operation of the confis
cation acts, thus leaving the settlement of the
matter of confiscation of rebel property to the
courts and to Congress hereafter, where the
facts are such as call for relief . '
The chivalry is again characteristically il
lustrated by one of its chief professors. txov.
Isham Harris, of TennesSee, while taking
that State out of the Union, quietly stole
forty-three State bonds for $lOOO 'each, sent
them to London, and deposited them for his
own benefit in the house of Brown, Shipley
& Co.
PROMINENT REBELS ASKING FOR
PARDON.
On the 16th inst., the President received
petitions from the Chief Military Comman
der and the Vice President of the exploded
Confederacy, Robert E. Lee and Alexander
H. Stephens, asking for a special pardon.
Mr. Stephens enters at length into . -an apology
or vindication of the action he has taken.
Among the reasons which led him to espouse
the cause of the rebellion, he refers to the
fact that the Tribune known to be a powerful
and influential supporter of the Republican
Administration, openly advocated the right
of the Southern people to independence. Mr.
Stephens inferred from this that indepen
dence would be conceded to the South with
out war. He acknowledges that the question
has been decided forever, and he desires
hereafter to be, and to be considered a good
and loyal citizen of the United- States. Mr.
Stephens' document covers some seventy
pages.
MISCELLANEOIIS
JEFF DAVIS AND 01:1R PRISONERS.—The
government has received documentary proofs
incontrovertible, of the guilt of Jeff. Davis
in the matter of inhuman and most brutal
treatment of Union prisoners. When dis
closed to the public as the facts will be in a
few days, the? will astound the civilized
world.
DECLINE IN BEEF.—In the New York cattle
market on Wednesday, June 14th, good to
prime cattle sold at IGc.®l7c. V lb., esti
mated dressed weight ; common to fair at
14c.@.15c., and poor at 12c. @,l3e. The con- .
tract for supplying the Government with
beef cattle for the coming three months was
awarded at $9 35 V 100 tbs. gross weight,
against $l3 49 three months ago—a falling off
of $4 15. or of over 29 co cent.
EXODUS OF REBEL PRISONERS.—During
the last few days, our city thoroughfares be
tween the Delaware and the railroad depots,
has been Quite lively with released rebel
prisoners, on their way from Fort Delaware
to their homes.• They belong mostly to the
Southwest. Some 500 hundred were dis
charged from the Fort last week. They are,
almost without exception, a forlorn looking
company who would be none the worse for a
few northern refinements, the schoolmaster
and soap and water included. •
THE CROPS IN NEW JERSEY. —The crops
of wheat and rye throughout Camden county
promise a fine and abundant yield. Potatoes,
early and late ones, look vigorous and thrifty;
cherries are plentiful, and an average crop of
other fruit, such as peaches and apples, isin
dicated; corn assumes a very heathful ap
pearance, and is growing rapidly. The grass
is abundant, and will give a very heavy yield.
Throughout Burlington, Gloucester, Salem
and Cumberland counties the crops are like
wise good, and farmers are anticipating satis
factory remuneration for the labor bestowed
on their fields.
KERBY SMITH AND MAGRUDER.—News
from the Gulf represents Kirby Smith as
already having winged his way to Mexico,
with a handsome trunk full of specie, realized
in the honest calling of the cotton trade.
While Davis, Lee, Johnston, Taylor, and
others of his confederates were foolishly oc
cupied with war, Kirby Smith plied his
peaceful vocation in cotton, and now has
something laid up against a rainy day. Ma
gruder, too, will doubtless seek refuge in
Mexico. When the mountain did not come
to Mahommet, it only remained for Mahom
met to go to the mountain. Or, to modern
ize the aphorism, since Maximilian did not go
to aid Magruder, Magruder had to go to the
--
aid of Maximillian..N: Y. limes.
BEN WOOD'S PAPER SUSTAINED BY
SOUTHERN MONEY. —The paper referred to is
the New I ork Daily News—the same to
which the recently arrested apostate Irish
patriot John Mitchell transferred his editorial
services, when the capture of Richmond broke
up his career there. In the last Friday's
proceedings in the trial of the assassination
conspirators, some decidedly sensational de
velopements were made, confirmatory of the
often repeated chorge that the News was
sustained by funds from rebel sources. An
assistant manager of the Montreal branch of
the Ontario Bank testified to the existence of
drafts of $25,000 drawn on the City Bank of
New York, payable to Benjamin Wood or
order, and that, in at least one instance,. Ben.
Wood indorsed such a draft. There is no
attempt to conceal the fact that this money
really came from Jacob Thomson, the leading,
rebel agent in Canada, the _projector of the
St. Albans and Lake Erie raids, the chief
patron of Blackburn, who undertook to in
troduce yellow-fever and small-pox into
Northern cities, and the spokesman of the
South in the Niagara Falls Conference with
Mr. Horace Greeley.
JOHN Mrrensrz, editor of ;the late Rich
mond Examiner, perhaps the most violent
and able rebel sheet in the whole South, and
understood to be the organ of Davis himself,
had the effrontery to come North, and attach
himself to the New York Daily News, where
his editorials, with all their old rancour, have
been printed, and doubtless paid for. After
one peculiarly violent in tone, in which he
declared he did not need and would not ac
cept a pardon from the President, he was on
the 14th, quietly arrested by Government de
tectives, and placed in confinement. The ,
New York Times says :—"Unless we are I
greatly mistaken, we think it will be found
that Mr. Mitchell is held to answer for
Uving aid and comfort to the enemies of the
nited States, especially in re and to the
treatment of our prisoners. The Govern

went, we have been informed, is in posses
sion of testimony on this subject, which made
his arrest a matter of absolute necessity.
FINANCIAL.—GoId was 147 on Thursday.
Large amounts have been leaving the country.
THE SEVEN-THIRTY LOAN.—On Tuesday,
June 13th, $2,056,500 were subscribed.
Gold, Tuesday, 1 P. M., 38i-38,f.
GREAT BRITAIN.—The heir to the Prince of
Wales, and after him to the crown of Eng
land, was born June 3.
England and France have withdrawn their
recognition of belligerent rights from the
rebels. For one month, however, England
still insists on preventing pursuit ofpirates
for twenty-four hours. Secretary Seward
therefore promptly gives notice that the
courtesies of our ports are denied to British
vessels of war.
5-20's 67®67i and in good demand, June
7th.
FRANCE. —The French Government has
prohibited a two sous subscription for a
medal to Mrs. Lincoln, and in one case seized
the money collected. This is very small
business indeed.
MEXICO.—The capture of the two hundred
Belgians in Tacambaro, appears to have
been made the occassion of a special message
to King Leepold and the Emperors of France
and Austria. It has called out serious com
ments from the press and in -the Belgian
Chambers. One of the members asked the
Minister for Foreign Affairs whether his
order of the day did not constitute a fresh
and veritable act of intervention in the affairs
of Mexico. Another member asked whether
the Goverment felt no apprehension as to
the attitude the American Republic would
assume toward it, in the event of a war be
tween the United States and Mexico: To
this K Rogier replied that as the United
States had recruited men for themselves from
all parts of the world, they would not care
about a few thousand Belgians having enlisted
for the Emperor Maximilian. As to a war
between Mexico and America the minister
said "he looked upon it as impossible."
Ex-President Buchanan has, with the Ap
pletons, in preparation for publication, his
defence of himself from charges of collusion
with the secessioniststs at the close of his Ad
ministration.—Jeff. Davis, in 1860, speak
ing of the United States Government "co
ercing the States," said: "Let Mr. Lincoln
try it, or Domlass either and we'll hang them
higher than Haman." So it seems Davis be
lieves in hanging.—Ex-Governor Magoffin,
of Kentuck as come out decidedly in
of the ad.' of the Constitutional A
ment by -f.': state. So learns the Lou )
Journal, which says further : "We under
stand that Governor Magoffin is so fully im
pressed with the importance of immediate
action on this great question t that he intends
to take the stump in behalf of the amend
ment."---A Montreal paper says that emi
gration to the United States and other causes
-have combined to greatly depreciate the value
of property in Canada, and in many localities
farms are unsaleable at any price.—One
who has seen Gren. Sherman,
speaking of his
portraits, says they would be like him "if
only his whiskers'were a little redder and a
greater hostility to the War Department
thrown into the expression of his face."—
The Michigan State Prison has been burned.
—The Emperor of Brazil has recognized
Maximilian as Emperor of Mexico.—Gen
eral Herron, at Alexandria, Louisiawi, has
issued a proclamation recommendblE the
slaves to work for their former masters for
wages.—Governor Murray, of Texas, has
called the rebel Legislature together, and
ordered a State Convention. He has order
ed all rebel property in the State'to be divided
among the people. Gen. Sheridan will over
rule these proceedings.—The loss at the
great fire at Nashville is estimated at $1,250,-
000. —The guerrillas of Tennessee and
Northern Georgia and Alabama have dispers
ed.--A subscription of $60,000 has been
raised in New York for General Lee.—
The Fenians have organized a new brother
hood of their order in Camden, New Jersey.
It has already a large membership.—
A delegation of prominent Democrats
have waited on the President, and had
a pleasant interview. The President told
them that he intended to administer the
Government for the whole people-and not for
any party.--Seventy-five cases of confisca
tion of property in Richmond have been
commenced.—General Howard has very
satisfactory reports of the work of freedmen
on the South Carolina coast. Nine thousand
colored children attend school and forty
thousand freedmen are at work cultivating
crops.—The spacious and elegant mansion
of Pierre Soule, near New Orleans, is occu
pied as a Colored Orphan Asylum, under the
superintendence of an intelligent lady of color
from Boston, Madame Le Mortier.—G en.
Terry, the distinguished captor of Fort Fisher,
has arrived at Richmond, to take command
of the Department of Virginia.—Gov.
Parker, of N. J., hat followed the example
of Gov. Curtin, and has issued a proclama
tion calling upon the people to assemble on
the fourth of July next, and by appropriate
public exercises,. observe the day as an occa
sion of Thanksgiving and rejoicing : and that
especial arragements be made in each locality,
to give a suitable welcome to the brave
soldiers of the Union.—Meetings of the
Southern people desirous of restoring their
States to the Union, have been held in Sum
merville, S. C., and in Alabama —A dele
gation of Poles had an interview with the
President upon the suoject of emigration.
Twenty thousand desire to come to this
country. An effort will be made to have them
settle in Virginia.—Several South Carolina
planters are paying their slaves wages.—
The Spaniards are beginning the evacuation of
San Domingo.
GIVING IT Ur.—Major A. C. Baird,
an Alabamian, and an officer in the late
rebel army does this thing, reluctantly
we have no doubt, but still gracefully - .
At a recent reconstruction meeting in
Guntersville, in his State, he said :
" We have met to bury- the tomahawk ; to
smoke the calumet of peace. All of us ought
to reverence that government which we could
not destroy, and to which we have been com
pelled to submit. I shall do it cheerfully."
At the same meeting the late rebel
Col. A. L. Sheffield, said:—
" I have done all I could to establish the
Southern Confederacy. I carried a musket
for three years ! I am whipped. I have
been whipped for twelve months. The South
ern Confederacy does not exist. I stand to
day like an erring child who has been whip
ped by his father !"
Quite the reverse =of the above, and
eminently characteristic, is the following
mock acquiescence of Dr. Converse in
his Richmond Christian Observer:—
" The result of the gigantic struggle—
though apparently siabversive of the hopes of
many —must be accepted a i s of Divine appoint
meet. The sacrifices and bereavements it
required, are in harmony with the prophetic
words of the son of God to his friends and
disciples : "In the world ye shall have tribu
lations." It becomes us not to complain, if
we share the discjpline which He has ever
administered in His spiritual kingdom on
earth."

Having learned that E. Clarence Smith is about to
establish an English and Classical School for boys, in
the city of Philadelphia, I desire to say that Mr.
Smith was a classmate of mine in college, and was
one of the first in his class, in all the studies of the
course. He is a gentleman of remarkably clew" in
tellect and most thorough cultivation. I know of .no
man to whom I would sooner entrust the education
of young men. J. A. GARFIELD.

REV. CHARLES A. SMITH, D.D.,
This Seminary has boen in successful operation for
several years at No. 1530 Arch street. A new locality
has been selected. not only because it is more central
in its relations to the most densely_po puhtted portions
of the city, but also because the school-rooms are un
usually large and airy, and admirably adapted to the
purpose to which they are designed.
To the present and former patrons of the school it is
needless to speak of its advantages. To others, who
desire to send their daughters to a first-class institu
tion, it will be enough to say, that the design of this
school is to educate, in the only true sense. To secure
this end, thoroughness is aimed at in all the branches
pursued, so that the scholar may understand the
principle involved in every investigation.
The classes are arranged in three departments:—
PrimarY. Academic, and Collegiate. There are sepa
rate and ample accommodations for primary pupils, as
well as for those belonging to the higher departments.
All the departments are subject to the same discipline
and general supervision.
Circulars containing Course of Study, and other in
formation, may be obtained at the Presbyterian
House, 1334 Chestnut street; also. at 1226 Chestnut
street, or address Box 2611, Post Office, Philadelphia..
,The next session will commence ' on MONDAY, Sep
tember 18th, 1865.
The rooms will be ready for examination about the
first of September.
