On Monday, August 21st, the President, justly indignant at a case of brokerage in pardons which came to his determined to pursue a different policy in this highly im portant and yet so far singularly unsatisfac tory business. The Attorney General was directed to issue no more warrants for pardon at present. The President will examine at his leisure those cases which the Attorney General has passed upon, but no new appli cation will be entertained. In regard to the soene at the President’s reception; on Mon day, the Republican has the following: “ Some fifty persons were present, most of them seeking pardons. A Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, (not Lawrence M., he having been killed by a loyal bullet at Fort. Wagner, ) approached the President, and informed him that he desired a pardon. 1 What have you done?’ asked Mr. Johnson. ‘I opposed se cession until my State decided to go out of the Union, and then I determined to go with it. I never joined the army. I did nothing to bring on the rebellion,’ was the reply. ‘You,’ rejoined the President, ‘are like all the rest; you did nothing. Now,’ he added, ‘my experience is, that the men who didn’t join the rebel army, but who acquiesced in rebellion, were the most mischievous and dangerous men we had. I cannot pardon you, Sir.’ Mr. Keitt made several other ef forts. Among other things, he reminded the President that he had come, all the way from South Carolina, and had been in Washington some time; that hotel living here was very high, and that altogether his daily expenses were extravagantly large,' and that he would like to get away as soon as he could go. The President responded that the hardships of which he complained were the direct results of the rebellion; that he did not bring on, or contribute to bring on the rebellion; that he was not responsible for and could not extri * cate Mr. Keitt from the difficulties he com plained of, nor hasten his pardon on account of them. The President was. firm. His answer was a finality. [Exit Keitt.] AMr. Birch, member of the late rebel Legisjature of Virginia, next approached the President, and applied for pardon. Similar questions were put to him by the President as- were asked Mr. Keitt. From the answers, it appeared that Birch did nothing, only as a member of the Virginia Legislature, in obe dience to instructions, he voted that Virginia should secede from the Union of the United States. That was all he, did; that was — ‘ nothing. ’ The President refused to pardon him. [Exit Birch] Next'came a rebel cler gyman who asked the President to grant him a pardon. ‘ What great sin have you com mitted, that you come here in clerical robes and crave Executive pardon?’ ‘I was a rebel,’ was the answer, ‘and I desire your Excellency to pardon me, that I may be re stored to citizenship and be able to support and live under the Government of the United States.’ ‘You rebel preachers,’ responded the President, ‘ have done the Government a great deal of harm. You have proclaimed devilish doctrines, and misled the people. You . forgot that it was your duty to yield obedience to the powers that be. You must rest awhile upon the stool of repentance. I decline to grant you pardon at present.’ [Exit rebel clergyman.] “ The President then remarked, addressing the entire crewd in the room, that it was a little singular that most of the non-combat ants who had come here from the South for pardon assert that they did nothing, were op posed to. the rebellion at the beginning, only acquiesced, and thought the rebel gov ernment ought to have surrendered earlier; and stopped bloodshed; yet not one of them took advantage of the amnesty proclamation offered by Mr. Lincoln, an act which would have shown sincerity on their part, ntrtt oUu tributed so much toward saving the enormous expenditure of life and ‘ I will. grantjgjpgiy dSnctusion of the PresiUtmeT and, turning to Colonel Browninjrhe diw“* ,< ’“" him to the order -Tare~~Attorney - T.

The Mississippi Convention, on the 21st of August, passed the following constitutional amendment, by a vote of eighty-six to eleven: -the institution of slavery haying been de stroyed in the State of Mississippi, neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, otherwise than for the punishment of crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall hereafter exist in this State ; and the Legislature, at its next session, and there after as the public welfare may require, shall provide by law for the protection and security of the persons and property of the freedmen of the State, and guard them and the State against any evil that may arise from their sudden emancipation. n."^ 16 ?.^ 80 P the ordinance declaring the ordinance of secession null and void, ana repealing all the ordinances of the convention of 1861, except the revenue ordinance, which tde Legislature will act upon. an informal meeting of the delegates in their individual capacities, a memorial was presented expressed in eloquent terms, peti tioning President Johnson to extend pardon to Jefferson Davis and Governor Clark, which was acquiesced in by- all present. A motion was made for the appointment of a committee, to draw up a memorial to be presented to the President of the United states, praying him to exercise clemency to ward Jefferson Davis and Governor Clarke. The motion was adopted. The Chairman appointed the committee. An ordinance was passed designating the first Monday in October for the election of Congressmen, Governor, members of the Legislature, and other State officers. All ordinances passed in Mississippi since the act of secession, not inconsistent with the Constitution of the United States, have been ratified by the State Convention. President Johnson has telegraphed Governor Sharkey, congratulating the Convention on the good work it has done. He promises them to re move the troops, and restore the writ of habeas corpus as soon as the State makes sufficient progress in returning to its allegi ance. Judge Fisher was nominated for Go vernor ; after which the Convention adjourned sine ate. The demand for farm hands, laborers, and house servants upon the Freedmen’s Bureau from the Northern, Eastern, and Middle States is very large, and threatens to go much beyond the supply. Orders have been sent to Richmond to forward several hundred hands, and the indolent planters who have haggled over the pitiful allowance of five dollars per month will, ere long, find them selves minus hands at any price. The prac tical working of the free-labor system will solve the social and labor status of the South much quicker than Southern people generally suppose. The Commissioner for the Eastern District of Arkansas reports for the month of July, no increase in the number of rations issued to the destitute since his last report. He says in order to guard the freedmen from op pression and abuse, he has sent two compa nies of infantry to Madison, on the St. Francis River, and two companies to Laconia, these two localities being the centre of a community opposed to freedmen. The Andersonville burial party have re turned. Everything has been done that af fection for the memory of the myriad victims of the monstrous cruelty there perpetrated, could suggest. By means of a stake at the head of each, grave, which bore a number corresponding with a similar numbered name upon the An dersonville hospital records, most fortunately captured by General Wilson last spring, Cap tain Moore rejoices to say that he was enabled to identify, mark, and honor the graves of thirteen thousand of the dead. To all but five hundred of those buried in that vast cemetery, a neat tablet, about two feet high, painted white, and lettered in black.with the number,, pame, company] and regiment of each, was placed at the head of the grave.. Captain Moore found the prison pen in a perfect state of preservation, just as the re bels left it, buildings, stockade, and ground huts, and the vertable dead-line as palpable as ever. That the controversy about the ex istence of this line may be settled, Captain Moore brought a piece of it away with him. One of the first things General Wilson did after the capture of Macon, was to send a force to Andersonville, take possession of and preserve everything about the place. Nothing has been destroyed, and as our exhausted, emaciated, and enfeebled soldiers left it, so it stands to-day, a monument to an inhumanity unparalleled in the annals of war. Ander sonville itself consists of but one solitary house aside from the buildings erected by the rebels for their use. The people who live in that locality assert that it is notorious for its unhealthiness; that it is known to be the most unhealthy part of Georgia. Malarious fevers constantly pre vail, and one of Captain Moore’s party, a young man named Edward Watts, fell a vic tim to typhoid fever just before the party left. Two soldiers of the force, detailed by General Wilson, alstf died, and one was mur dered by a guerilla.. At a station named Montezuma, just outside the stockade, stands pine timber enough to buildhundreds ot miles of log huts, had our prisoners been allowed to use it. Near the inclosure is also the ver itable dog kennel where were kept the leash of bloodhounds which the rebel Colonel Gibbs testified, in the Werze trial, were regularly mustered into the service, received regular rations, and were used for recapturing.escaped' fugitives. The people in that vicinity are a lazy, sallow-faced, haggard, ignorant class. Their ignorance was especially astonishing. One man was found who ’had not heard of President Lincoln’s death, and another who refused greenbacks because his government would not allow him to take those things. He absolutely did not know that the South ern Confederacy had gone up. At present Andersonville is guarded by a small force from Macon. A superintendent of the grounds and buildings was appointed by Captain Moore, and everything pertaining to. the place will be carefully preserved. A list of the dead was brought back, and as soon as it can be prepared it will probably be published. It will be a vast and solemn “ Rollot Honor.”' — N. T. Times. The secesh of Prince Georges County, Md., : are getting their deserts at last. The regis tration law of the State now being enforced disfranchises a great majority of them. In one precinct, out of one hundred and eighty one voters, one hundred and thirty-one are hereafter debarred that privi lege until they cannot only take oaths but keep them. The rebel ex-General J.

Buffalo Springs , Mecklenburgh Co., Va., Aug. 17, 1865. —You ask my views of the future course and future interest of us all. The case is so plain that very little can be said or written upon it. We, of the South referred the question at issue between us anc the United States to the arbitrament of the sword. The decision has been made and it is against us. We must acquiesce in that accept it as final, and recognize the fact that Virginia is again one of the United States. Our duties and interests coincide. We shall consult the one and perform the other, by doing all we can to promote the welfare of our neighbors and to restore pros perity to the country. We should at once commence the duties of peaceful citizens by entering upon some useful pursuit, qualify ing ourselves to vote, if possible, and at the polls our votes should be cast for conservative men—men who understand and will main tain the interests of Virginia as one of the United States. This is the course which I have recommended to all those with whom I have conversed on the subject, and that which I have adopted for myself, as far as practicable. Very truly yours, J. E. Johnston. TRIAL OF THE ANBBRSOITVHJ.E JAIL- On Monday, August 21st., the Military Commission for the trial of the rebel Captain Wirz, keeper of the Andersonville prison was commenced in Washington. Maj. Gen. Wallace is President;of the Commission, and Col. Chipman, Judge Advocate. Judge Hughes appeared as chief counsel for the prisoner. The charge first presented was as follows: Charge First—Maliciously, willfully and traitorously, and in aid of the then existing armed rebellion against the United States of America, on or before the Ist day of March, A. D. 1864, and on divers other days, between that day and the 10th day of April, 1865, combining, confederating and conspiring to gether with [Robert E. Leeß [James A. Sed d°n,] John H. Winder, [Lucius D. Nor thrup,] Richard B. Winder, Joseph White, W. S. Winder, R. R. Stevenson. Moore, and others, unknown, to injure the health and destroy the lives of soldiers in the military service of the United States, then held and being prisoners of war within the lines of .the so-called Confederate States, and in the mili tary prisons thereof, to the end that the armies of the United States might be weak ened and impaired, in violation of the laws and customs of war. [The names in brackets were subsequently omitted.] There are 13 specifications, covering the whole ground of his treatment of our prison ers. Four of the specifications refer to the shooting of as many different prisoners by the guards. One relers to hunting escaped prison ers with blood hounds. Personal assaults upon the soldiers by Wirz are also specified. After some technical objections on the part of th® P r l soner ’s counsel, the court adjourned. ilm next day, it was discovered that owing to an informality, by which the name of the prisoner was omitted in the original order for convening the commission the proceedings were invalidated under that commission. It was therefore dissolved, and another order im mediately issued le-convening the same com mission, *This was, ot course, attended with. the usual clamor of counsel, who sought to * THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, AUGUST 3L 1865. make the most of the irregularity for the be hoof of the prisoner. On Wednesday the court was re organized, when the counsel for the prisoner claiming that great wrong had been done him by the transaction, withdrew from the case. This left the responsibility of the prisoner’s de fence with the Judge Advocate. The court then adjourned. August 24, two counsellors appeared for the prisoner, Messrs. Schade andßates. They begged a postponement, and put in several ineffectual pleas, among others, that Win; “was an officer of the so-called Southern Con-, federacy, and entitled to the terms agreed, toj between Gens. Sherman and Johnston, which were complied with by him, and in accordance 1 with jvhich he is ready to give his obligation in writing not to take up arms against the Government.’’ R- H. Kellogg, captured at Plymouth N. C., had been shot at for approaching the the dead line. Nearly three hundred out of four hundred who accompanied him to Andersonville, died a few days after they were paroled: the 24th New York battery, captured at Plymouth, were nearly annihil ated at this prison. During to-days' proceedings, the prisoner’s counsel acted in an unfair and insulting man ner to the witnesses, and to the court, so as to call forth a severe reprimand from the lat ter upon which he (council) begged pardon. August 28.—Kellogg was cross-examined by Baker. Thomas 0. Alcock, a prisoner gave testimony, he said, “ Captain Wirz, the prisoner, whom he now recognized at the bar. took from him his belt, containing $l5O in gold, $2BO in greenbacks, a jack knife, a breastpin and gold ring, and his pocket-book, these were never returned to him ; on one occasion a weak man asked Captain Wirz to let him go out for some fresh air: Wirz asked him what he meant, and turning round, pulled a revolver out of his pocket and shot him down, and the man died two or three hours afterwards. Sergeant Boston Corbet who shot Booth, had also been a prisoner and testified. S. D. Brown, captured at Plymouth, had $195 taken from him; saw a cripple, with one leg, who asked the sentinel to call Captain Wirz; the captain came, and the man asked him to let him out; the captain neveranswered him, but turning to the sentinel said, “Shoot the one-legged Yankee devil;” the shot was fired and a part of the man’s head was blown off, and he died in a few minutes. At this point Wirz’s council again aban doned him, and the court adjourned. Railroad ana steamboat disas- , The simple cataloguing of these disasters is becoming burdensome. We clip from the dailies the following: The night express train from lowa, on the Dixon and Fulton branch of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad, ran into a culvert which had been washed away by the storm, August 21. The engineer, firemen, express messenger and one passenger killed, and three passengers injured, though not seriously. ~ The steamer Argosy No. 3, Capt. Vaude grift, from Cairo for Cincinnati, with the Sev entieth Ohio infantry, about three hundred strong, was blown ashore in a storm, August 21st, near Halfield’s Landing, eighty miles below Louisville. The concussion exploded the mud drums, and the steam coming aft, scalded twelve, two of whom died, and two are expected to die. Between thirty and forty jumped overboard, eight of whom were urowned. To this the Judge Advocate answered: “It was very certain by the action 9f the Govem ment and the opinion of the Attorney Gen eral, that neither the Amnesty Proclamation! of the President, nor the terms of surrender; between Gens. Grant and Lee, and Sherman and Johnston, were intended to pardon those] who had been guilty of great crimes. The) later proclamation of the President showed that these capitulations did not work pardoii to those coming within their terms; else why did they see men who had been engaged in the rebellion, every day besieging the Presi dent and asking pardon ? It would be recol lected that a Judge of the United Statefe Court had charged the jury to inquire into offences under the rebellion, and in the crimi nal court of this district the Attorney Gen eral pronounced the rebellion still existing. Suppose the assassin of the late President had been a rebel soldier, and after committing the act had escaped and returned to John ston’s army, was it supposed the terms of the capitulation would prevent the assassin from being brought to trial ?” ' , The first evidence presented was a copy of a letter, admitted by the prisoner to be a true copy, written by Wirz to Gen. Wilson, May 7, admitting substantially the charges against | him as keeper of the prison, but claiming to be merely a subordinate, medium or tool, he ! says, and laying the blame on his ‘' superiors. ’ ’ I The rebel Commandant of the military post ! at Andersonville G. C. Gibbs, testified to the general facts of the case, Werze’s position, the crowded state of the enclosure, the dogs, the relation of the other parties mentioned m the indictment, &c. Dr. Bates, rebel surgeon at Andersonville, gave the most dreadful account of the hospital, and his own secret efforts to succor a few of the wretched suffer ers, his reporting the state of things to higher officials without effect, other than a reprimand - for some informality in his appeal. He dfe dared that from one : half to three-fourths of those who died, might have been saved hdd the patients been properly cared for. ‘ August 25. —The testimony of * Dr. Batts was continued. He spoke of the dreadful prevalence of the scurvy; said he did not know but that a man might starve to death on ( thg rations, which were less than twenty ounces in 24 hours. There was plenty of wood in the neighborhood which might have been cut to answer all demands. ' An assistant-surgeon’s official reportj dated September 5, 1864, was put in evidence, which remonstrated against the sort and con dition of provisions furnished the sick, the meat being not over two ounces per day. They had nothing for wounds, but water. Some of the wards were “wild with gan grene. ’ ’ Limbs had to be amputated ana re amputated. Dr. W. A. Burroughs, of the 27th Massachusetts, a prisoner, testifies that very large sores had resulted from vaccina tion ; the matter was poisonous, and many deaths and amputations resulted; there were from 33, 000, to 36, 000, prisoners there at the- time, and in the month of August] as appeared from the official report, nearly 3,000 died; on the removing of the prisoners from Andersonville one of them fell back, when witness saw Capt. Wirz knock the 'man- ™ '"Jill ***-•. 4-VtXC! Mgflg August 26.—Dr. Burroughs continued. — The slops from the cook-houses were thrown into the stream which ran through the prison the exhalations from which were horrible and very unhealthy. Besides the sinks overflow ed, owing to the rains, rendering the prem ises still more intolerable. Human bodies sometimes lay unburied for three days. The stench Was terrible, sensibly affecting the atmosphere, and was worse than any dissect ing room. Complaints of these things were frequently made to headquarters: dead men were in the morning frequently found among the living. The largest number of deaths in the stockade for one day in August, 1864, was two hundred and seven. Wirz said to him that he (Wirz) was of more service to the Confederate government than any poor rebels in front. August 22, a passenger train on the Nor wich railroad was thrown from the track near Bradford, by running over a cow. Ten or twelve persons, mostly employees of the com pany, were seriously injured, but none fatally. An excursion train filled with passengers, returning to Boston, August 23, from a pic nic party at Abington, on the Old Colony railroad, came in collision with a hand car on the track, in which were two men. The en. gine, tender, baggage, smoking and four pas senger cars were thrown from the track, three of the latter being capsized down an embank ment. None of the passengers received serious injuries. ' A collision took place, August 24th, on the Oil Creek railroad, by which nine persons lost their lives, and ten to fifteen were seri ously wounded. The disaster was caused by the engineer of a freight train running his engine on the track out of time, and at an hour when a passenger train was due, coming from an opposite direction. The trains met near a curve, and nearly every car was broken up. A passenger train which left Nashville for Huntsville, August 25, ran off the long trestle work, near Reynold Station. The entire train was thrown down, and forty-two persons were killed, and about eighty very badly wounded. The express messengers, Mosby and Hazlett, were amougtbose killed. The ship Brother Jonathan, plying between San Francisco and Portland, Oregon, was wrecked near Camp Lincoln in the latter State, on the 30th of July, and all on board except fifteen were drowned. The passengers and crew numbered between two and three hundred. Among the lost was Brig. General- George Wrijght. He was the colonel of the 9th Regiment United States infantry, but was at the time of the disaster brigadier general of volunteers, and was on his way to take command of the district of Oregon. 26. —A railroad train ran off the track near Petersburg, Virginia, and two men were killed. August 28. —A collision occurred on the Long Island Railroad, near Jamaica. Three persons were killed, and seven mortally wounded. FINANCIAL. The Government has such a large surplus of gold that it is still selling upon, the street, and keeping the premium from rising above 43@44. It is calculated that the Customs will bring in from 132,000,000 to 150,000,000 dollars annually. The gold interest is just about sixty-four millions. The New York Evening Exchange which has been the centre of much of the dishonest speculation lately developed in that city, has been denounced by the leading financiers in the most emphatic manner. All bank clerks, tellers, etc., are required to sign a written agreement that they will have nothing to do with it or.its frequenters, directly or indirect ly, under penalty of the loss of their place and the forfeiture of such bonds as they shall give, for faithful adherence to the agreement, in spirit as well as letter. The New York Stock Exchange, (almost unanimously,) and the Open Board ofvßrokers, (by a vote of 97 to 17,) have also resolved to hold no further intercourse with the Evening Exchange; and to suspend and expel any member of their Board who shall violate this rule by attendance there, personally or by proxy. The regular Gold Exchange has also taken similar wholesome measures. FOREIGN. Summary. —A terrible sequel had followed the murder of three children in London, as reported by last steamer. The murderer, after committing the deed in London, pro ceeded to Ramsgate, and there killed his wife and daughter, from whom he had been part ed for several years.

The cholerahad reached Marseilles, and great excitement existed among the cities in Southern France and Spain, in regard to the spread of this disease. lt is reported that the differences be tween Austria and Prussia had been adjusted, and that a complete understanding had been arrived at on the principal points in dispute. Satisfactory concessions were made to Prussia, relative to the military question. The Ro man Government had ordered the Pontificial Army to be increased by a further levy of 3,000 men, and it is stated that 1,000 men in foreign countries had already entered into ne gotiations to serve. The Pope.—The Papal Cabinent have been informed by M. Drouyn de Lhuys that the French Government intend recalling their Minister from Rome and accrediting one diplomatist to the two Courts of Rome and Florence. The news naturally created pain ful sensation at the Vatican. The Pope has refused a request from the’ Italian Govern ment, whioh was supported by the influence of that of France, for the liberation of prison ers condemned for political offences in the former Papal States, now part of the King dom of Italy. Mexico.— The JV. 0. Times City of Mex ico correspondent, of the 21st ult., writes that the Estafette , the French organ, says that but two courses are left open: that France should assume the protectorate of Mexico, (as it admits the empire is an entire failure,} and declare it one of its provinces, or their country must be absorbed by the United States. Mexican independence, it says, is impossible. Frequent imperial dis asters are reported as usual. The recall of the Papal Nuncio by .the Pope caused a great sensation among the clergymen, who. are also openly opposed to the Emperor. Gen. Al molegar has been sent to Washington as a Minister, who hopes for a “ recognition.” ITEHS.
