POUCT OF THE OOTEKHHEHT.
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.

SOUTHERN SENTIMENT AND JPMfc-
N OMEN A.
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.”'

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 *

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-

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.

lt is reported that the differences be

and that a complete understanding had been

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.”
