Alarming cxcestes have recently been committed by blacks in Bullock County, in the neighborhood of Perote. The colored loyal leagues have organized and resisted the processes of the civil authorities. Un der instructions from colored emissaries, they have tramed a code of laws to govern the negro population, opened a court, offi cered and organized, and are arresting by night all blacks who oppose their unlawful proceedings, and have canied punnishment so far that their victims have applied to the civil authorities for protection. The black sheriff and his deputy were finally arrested but other insurrectionary leaders organized tbe negroes and made armed resistance.— Aid from other leagues was summoned,and tbe blacks flocked to Union Springs,threat ening a general rising and the extermina tion of tbe whites, and taking possession of the country. The black leaders went to the plantations aud forced the laborers to join them for vengeance, showing pretend ed orders from Gen. Swayne that they had a right to kill all resisting their authority. During the excitement the negro church at Perote Was burned by unknown parties it is alleged by black leaguers, to inflame the negroes. The whites universally regret it. Tbe white citizens have organized for pro tection. General Swaync was appealed to and sent a detachment of troops promptly to the scenes of trouble to restore order. The black insurrectionists have been arrest ed and sent to jail to be tried by the civil authorities. At the last accounts, order was restored, and all was quiet. gW Edward W.

The President sent the following mes sage to Congress last Wednesday: GENTLEMEN or THE SENATE AND or THE HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES : An official copy of the order issacd by Major General Winfield S. Hancock, Com mander of the Fifth Military District, dat ed headquarters, New Orleans, on the 29th day of November, has reached mc through the regular channels of the War Depart ment, and I herewith communicate it to Congress for such action as may seem to be proper in view of all the circumstances. It will be perceived that General Hancock announces that he will make the law the rule of his conduct; that he will uphold the courts and other civil authorities in the performance of their proper duties, and that he will use bis military power only to preserve the peace and enforce the law.— He declares veiy explicitly that the sacred right of trial by jury and the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be crushed out or trodden under foot. He goes further, and in one comprehensive sentence asserts that the principles of American liberty are still the inheritance of this people, and ever should be. \Y hen a great soldier, with unrestricted power in his hands to oppress his fellow men, voluntarily foregoes the chance of gratifying his selfish ambition and devotes himself to the duty of building up the lib erties and strengthening the laws of his country, he presents an example of the highest public virtue that human nature is capable of practising. The strongest claim of Washington to be " first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," is founded on the great fact that in all his illustrious career he scrupulously abstained from vio lating the legal and constitutional rights of his fellow citizens. When he surrendered bis commission to Congress the President of that body spoke bis highest praise in saying that he had " always regarded the rights of the civil authorities, through all dangers and disasters." Wherever power above the law courted his acceptance he calmly put temptation aside. By such magnanimous acts of forbearance be won the universal admiration of mankind, and left a name which has no rival io the his tory of the world. I am far from saying that Gen. Hancock is the only officer of the American Army who is influenced by the example of Wash ington. Doubtless thousands of them are faithfully devoted to the principles for which the men of the Revolution laid down their lives. But the distinguished honor belongs to him of being the first officer in high command south of the Potomac since the close of the civil war who has given utterance to those noble sentiments in the form of a military order. I respectfully suggest to Congress that some public recognition of Gen. Hancock's patriotic order is due, if not to him, to the friends of law and justice throughout the V.VUIIII J. Vi OUVITUU UVI CEO 1113 at ouwu d time it is but fitting that its dignity should be vindicated and the virtue proclaimed, so that its value as ao example may not be lost to the nation. ANDREW JOHNSON. Washington, D. C., Dec. 18, '67. Treasury Report. The Treasury report has been published. In regard to the resumption of specie pay ments, the Secretary says:—That desira ble consummation has been delayed chiefly by the poor crops of 1866, by the immense expenditures of the War Department con sequent upon the Southern military gov ernments and the Indian hostilities and by the shock to the public eredit given by the expressions of such financiers as Ben. But ler and Thnd. Stevens. Yet the Secreta ry boldly declares that if the policy of con traction is maintained, and the crops are good next season specie payments may be resumed by January, 1869, or, at the very latest, six months later. The measures requisite for this condition, are given as follows: First—The funding or paying the bal ance of the interest bearing notes and the continued contraction of the paper cur rency. Second —The maintenance of the public faith in regard to the funded debt. Third—Restoration of the Southern States to their proper relations to the Fed eral Government. As to the National Banks, the Secretary thinks that any attempt to destroy them at the present time would bring on a crisis; yet be hints that the time may come to dispense with them. Conservative legis lation, be declares, is now indispensable. Notwithstanding the sigus of the times, he insists even more strongly than usu al on the poliey of rapid curreucy contrac tion, and declares stubbornly that trade has not been and will not be, injuriously affected by such a policy. "An irredeem able currency," it says •' is a financial dis ease." The Secretary then speaks briefly of tbe internal laws—saying nothing of the great whisky frauds —and recommends that only slight changes be made in the tariff until we have returned to specie payments. The present tariff has failed to be protective, as was intended, but bas produced a large revenue, and in toat particular pleases the Secretary. He insists with much emphasis that the understanding of the government which issued our bonds and of the people who bought them, was that they would be paid in gold and he maintains that it would be a disgraceful breach of national faith to pay them in currency.' Gen. Ord, eomipanding the Fifth Military District, has issaed an order direc ting General Gillem to proceed to Wash ington and represent to the President and Secretary of war the starving condition of the Freedmcn in this district, and the necessity of some provision being made by the government to feed them and avert the impending war of races. Gen, Ord also orders that all freedmen who are able will be requireed to earn their own support during the coming year, and to go to work on the heat terms that can be made, and thus prevent their being a burden to the government. Those who can, but will not earn a livelihood, will lay themselves liable to arrest and pnnishmcntas vagrants. General Grant'■ Testimony. General Grant's testimony before the Ju diciary Committee is published. Tbe Gen eral says be was frequently in consultation witb Mr. Johnson in relation to tbe recon struction measures ; and that be interceded for Gen. Lee,and recommended the pardon of Gens Longstreet, French and George H, Stuait. On the subject of pardons, General Grant expressed tbe opinion that so long as the surrendered rebel soldiers kept their parole and obeyed tbe laws, tbey were not subject to trial by the courts. He disagreed with the President when the Utter insisted that the leaders must be punished, and told Mr. Johnson that this could be done only when they violated their parole. This did not apply to Jefferson Davis or others who were captured, only to those who were pa roled. In regard to the Amnesty Procla mation, Geo. Grant testified that he "could not sec any reason why the fact ofa volun teer rising to the rank ofa Gen. should ex clude him any more than any other grades, with reference to tbe 520.000 clause, I thought that a man's success in tbe world was no reason for bis being excluded from amnestv, bnt I recollect afterwaid saying | to the President that 1 thought he was right in that particular and I was wroDg. I never claimed that tbe parole gave these prisoners any political right whatever, I thought that i was a matter entirely with Congress, over which I had no control • that, simply as | General-in-Chief commanding the army, I : had a right to stipulate for the surrender on terms which protected, their lives. That is all I claimed." In regard to the North Carolina Procla mation, General Grant said : "I was in favor jof that or anything else which looked to | civil government until Congress could meet 1 and establish government there; I did not 1 want all chaos left there and no form of civil ' government whatever; I was not in favor of I anything or opposed to anything particular ly ; I was simply in favor of having govern ; rnent there. • • • • * "1 know that immediately after the close I of the rebellion there was a very fine feeling : manifested in the South, and I thought we 1 ought to take advantage of it as soon as possible, but since that there has been an evident change there." In regard to the Presidents policy, Gen. Grant said : "Mr. Lincoln, prior to his as sassination had inaugurated a policy intend ed to restore those governments. I was ; present once before his murder, when a plan j was read. The plan adopted by Mr. John son was substantially the plan which bad i been inaugurated by Mr. Lincoln as the ba sis for his future action. Ido not know that it was verbatim the same. 1 think the very paper which I heard read twico while Mr. Lincoln was President was the one vrtich was carried right through." "Q. what paper was that ? A. The North Carolina proclamation." Since the publication of this testimony, the Rads are not so enthusiastic tor his nomination for the Presidency. It is doubt ful now whether he will be their " chosen j standard bearer." CONSTITCTION MAKERS. —At the inau vi iUC lllliCllb lUC LFCVpiV werf foolish enough to suppose that men of brains were necessary to frame consti tutions and enact laws. That idea is dissi pated and " Cuff," " Sarabo," and "Pom pey," fresh from the cotton fields are now thought fully qualified to remodel govern ment and establish political systems. For instance, the Alabama Coustitional Con vention is composed of the following ma terial: Negro barbers 18, coach drivers (white and black) 18, valets (hall and half) 11, ex-plantation bands 8, Yankee pedlcrs 14, Freedmen's Bureau men 7, Mass. col porteurs 5, Tribune correspondent J, negro preachers 3, escaped convicts 2, loyal leag uers 2. Total 87. Of the white total but nineteen are natives of the South the bal ance are squatters from New England,— One of those classified as escaped convicts lias ears cropped, the others branded as a deserter from the Federal army. The same condition of affairs exist in La. In the convention of tbat State sev enty eight members are present of whom forty-four are negroes. — Phila. Age. Good.—Ge.n Sickles' idea of the Pros idential policy—tbat Congress should listen every morning to the reading of the Con stitution, and then spend several hours in silent meditation. Sheriff's Sale.
