Indeed, it is now .seriously apprehended, that his death will forestall any earthly judgment in his ease. The testimony is mainly valuable as displaying more and more the (complicity of the Rebel government, as such, in the An dersonville atrocities, thus revealing, as never before revealed, the character of a. chivalry which takes its tone from insti tutions. The evidence, as it progresses, while still leaving Wirz in the character of an un qualified demon, produces more'and more the impression that there are more distin guished men who might more appropriately grace the dock of that military tribunals men who are within reach, and yet seem to feel no urgency for getting out of the way. One arrest was made on the 22d of James W. Duncan, a mere subordinate, who had ill-treated some of the Andersonville prisoners. He had been brought bn as a witness for Wirz, and was arrested in the court room. Tins, will not pre vent his testifying when called for. Among the witnesses on the 21st was J. . Burns Walker, ,who gave an account of a, speech delivered by Howell Cobb to a Georgia regiment in Andersonville, heard by several of the paroled prisoners, himself among the number. Referring to the prisoners, he said he was sorry any of them had been captured, l and that he should hang every prisoner if .lie had his own way. He further said: “If the prisoners come up tb your house to take, your chickens or your pigs, hang them ; if a prisoner comes up to your'house to speak; to '-your women, hang' him;” he then referred 'to'President Lincoln, saying): “ If President Lincoln ever gets me he will hang me, and if I ever get President Lincoln 1 will hang him.” In referring to the conduct of Capt. Wirz, he safid that he was glad to-find the state of things around Andersonville to he isuoh as he did,” and recommended Captain Wirz as being a very meritorious and efficient officer, doing his duty, and doing it well. He said" to the Confederate troops around him, “Look over into that stockade”—pointing -his finger directly to it-~.“go look over there, And compare yourselves with those men, and; rgo home and kiss your wives and sweethearts, and Beeifyou'cannotgainyourindependence;” ■he further said, in connection with the grave . yard and the treatment he would, give, to the frisoners: “I would treat the prisoners ere well; I would feed them well; I would care for them;” his voice, when he said he ; would care for them, assumed- a- stentorian tone; he spoke, harshly, and as. if with deep meaning, pointing at the same time With his ’Hand to the graveyard', as if meaning that sthat would be the care he would give them; THE INDIAN COUNCIL AT FORT SMITH. The report, September 19th, was, that the difference between the loyal' and disloyal Creeks has been amicably adjusted. The rebel delegates of the"various tribes are, represent-- ed to have signed the treaty with the Govern ment with a note ■ appended, claiming non forfeiture of, lands, annuities, &o. A com mittee was appointed to confer with the Choc taws . and Cnickasaws relative to the treaty for a recognition of the policy of the Govern ment. The Southern Cherokees submitted,,, a report, stating that a committee had.Waitecl !, Mupon -the Northern Cherokee?, to arranges ‘ their differences, and ask them"to recommend the Cherokee oouziail to_X6Deal their confisca tion laws, who agreed to lay the - the council. The same delegation reported that about 6,000 Cherokees are in the Choe taw and Chickasaw nation, on Red river, in destitute eircumstances, and asked the coun cil for relief. The commission has refused to recognize, John .Iloss as the chief of the Cherokee nation? on account of duplicity and ' bad faith; with the Government!?) -< A paper Jhas been'hubmitited 'by the loyal Cherokee ■ delegation, asking the Government to rescind their action. September 20, the commissioners returned a final answeriq thecase of John Ross, de clining to rescind ' their action, as they dis connect his case from that of the loyal Chero kees. Exclusive "of the chiefs, there are in "Council:seventy-five loyal and seventy-four, disloyal delegates who have signed the treaty ■ of peace. The commission adjourned sine die on the '2lst The treaty cor eluded upon has for its parties the United States on the one hand, and the tribes above mentioned on the other. It provides for peace acd-friendship between the Government and the said tribes) promis ing that they will exert all their influence in -compelling the Indians of the plains to main tain peaceful relations, with each other, with <he Indians of the territory, and with "the United States; that slavery shall be abol ished forever; that freedmen shall be suita bly provided for; that lands shall be issued to the Indians of Kansas and elsewhere; that the right of' way shall be granted to railroads; and that the consolidation of the Indian tribes, with a territorial form of government, shall _be recommended by them to their re spective councils. Colonel Sells, of the commission, proceeds immediately to Humboldt, Kansas, to eon-, elude a treaty with the Osages. . ! In the mean time there is again trouble on the plains.

This, of course, in dicates that he has no intention of taking up bis residence in a foreign land, as has been currently reported-fbr some time. In his ■ -letter of acceptance he expresses the follow-' ving sentiments: “That it is the duty of -every citizen in the present condition of the country to do all in his power to aid in the restoration of peace and harmony, and in no ■way oppose the policy of the State or Gene ral Government directed. to that object, and it .is particularly incumbent on those charged with the instruction of the young to set an example of submission to authority. 1 ’ - Contesting the Proclamation. —Some * • -of the ex-slaveholders are very dumb of un derstanding respecting what has been going on..the last few years. Major General How ard, Commissioner of the Ereedmen’s Bureau, has received a communication from Major W. D. Sargent, assistant commissioner of freedmen’s affairs in Arkansas, in relation to a former slaveholder by the name of Bird, refusing to recognize the act of emancipation.' Jt seems that a freedman, a former slave of this man, had attempted to take away some property belonging to him,_ from his late mas ter’s premises, and not; being successful, ap plied to the freedmen’s bureau for assistance. An order whs* given him, which'order was treated with contempt by Bird, who retained it, and stated that he considered" the* negro his slave. Bird has been arrested. !

SoOTHERNjCONVEtmoNS.— The State Con ventions of South Carolina and Alabama are now in Session. In both proposed ordi nances for the abolition of slavery are under discussion. Ih Alabama, the abolition ordi nance passed Sept. 23, by 89. to 3. Confiscation has been virtually abandon ed in Virginia, by order of the.U. S.

The sheriff said he was acting under orders of Governor Parsons, of- Ala bama. One Union soldier was killed, and nineteen of the sheriff’s party captured. The sheriff and the murderer of the soldier escaped. - -Reconstruction of Louisiana. —It now appears that the* Washington Government will not accept the existing civil administra tion of Louisiana as a valid State government, but requires a reconstruction on the same ba sis with other Southern States. For this purpose the "President has created the pre sent civil Governor Wells, Provisional, and elections for a Convention are forthwith to take place.

Isaac New ton, Commissioner of Agriculture,ihas issued a statement as to the condition of "the crops of the country up. to -September Ist The. substance is that the wheat crop is not gene rally of a good quality, and the supply of old wheat on hand not as great as has DeSh sup-' posed. The oats crop is one of the largest which the country has ever produced. Hay in the west, is very much injured-by bad weather during.harvesting. Corn, the great est crop yet raised in the loyal States. To bacco, the quantity planted. much less. -than last year, but* in good , condition. -/Sorghum excellent. Buckwheat will be good if frost holds off. Potatoes will be considerably in jured by the rot, but, on account of the unu sually large planting, an average supply may. be expected. Roots and gardens are pros perous. A large decrease of fattening hogs is reported.

FOREIGN. Great Britian: —LivCrpoohadvioesare to Sept, :9th: News from that quarter has a new and unpleasant element of interest. The Fehian agitation in Ireland has become alarm ing, and rumors are rife, though we presume greatly exaggerated, of expeote'd arrivals from this country,,to, aid in a movement for detach ing that part of the empire from the British crown. Of course occasion will he taken to create a popular belief that the-public senti ment of this country, and even the Govern ment is secretly complacent toward armed Irish ■ deportations, , ; An. important naval, movement of the' British Government —that' of ..ordering a number of gunboats and two men of war, to be,stationed off Bantry Bay? on" the) west coast of Ireland—is supposed to be an indication of alarm in this direction: • Mexico. —The special Mexican correspon dence of the A. 0.

Troops continued to arrive from the north r.nd the interior, and to be for warded to the island of Santa Catharina, which is made their depot.

Not the least so are the regulations of Gen. Rufus Saxton, in an order issued at Beaufort, 5...C.', on the 11th of August: „ First. The 'marriage of all parties living together Ss husband aiid wife'at 'the time Of obtaining their freedom, or solemnizcd sincc obtaining it, will be acknowledged as legal and binding. .* Second. All parties whose,carriage was only a mutual agreement between them selves, with no public form or_ ceremony, are required ; to have .their marriage confirmed by a. minister, and obtain a certificate of the same, ; Third! No parties having agreed to enter the marriage relation will be allowed, to live together as husband and wife until their mar riage has been legally solemnized. • Fourth. All parties claiming to have been 1 married, but separated by slavery, amTliav ing no certificate of'their 1 marriage';' must obtain from'some Eociety or'church apermit: for their reunion, before they will be allowed . to live together as husband End wife. ■ - i . .. Fithi A wife,-when restored by .freedom to : her: husband,, if he be , living,with no. other wife, shall he received by him ashis lawful !wife,. except for moral batistes. Sixth.

If a former wife utterly refuse, upon application made by the husband to renew her former marriage relation with him, he may notify some society or church of the fact of such refusal, and ask fpr a release from said wife. If, after due ho.ticp. given “By, such’ society or church to the wife refusing! she fail to show any moral or legal objections to the renewal of her former marriage relations with him, then the society or church acting in the case shall .grant to the man a release from all his obligations to her as a husband and for the support of all his children by her. The concluding remarks of the general declare that the “ sacred' institution of mar riage lies at the very foundation of all civil society. It should be carefully guarded by all the agents of this Bureau. It is hoped these rules. may do something tp correct a monster evil, which meets us at the very threshold of our work. ” , r \7_ s Jblb ||ublitatinus.
