CLEARFIELD, PA., JUNE 7, 1865.
THE LATEST NEWS.
The Legislature of Kentucky persists in
its opposition to the Constitutional Amend
ment abolishing slavery. On the 31st of
3Iay, the friends of the measure introduced
in both branches a resolution reconsidering
that rejecting the Amendment. The vote
thowed that the good . cause had gained a
considerable number of converts among the
members of the Legislature since its last
meeting, but not enough to carry the point.
The proslavery party was still found to be in
the majority, and refused permission to have
the bill entered. The Unionists yet hope
that at;,thfc approaching Stat election, in
AuguktV,' they will be able to carry the State
and thus secure the ratification of the A
mendment. Concerning the fast day, the N. Y. Times
says: An incident in the solemnities of the
day deserves emphatic mention. The rebel
prisoners (rank and file) on Hart's Island
made special interest with the military au
thorities to be permitted the privilege of
joining in the religious observances. And
the request being granted the poor delin
quents mustered to the number of twenty
five hundred, and reverently took part in
the solemnities of the appointed worship.
The act may well help to obliterate the re
cord many public misdeeds.
' Troops are being rapidly started home
ward from Washington. A number of West

Sanitary Commission is doing excellent
work in distributing fresh vegetables among

The Government contemplates colonizing
all the Indian tribes between Minnesota,
Iowa, and the Rocky Mountains, in a reser
vation on the Northern border of Montana
and Decotah, with the Iiritish possessions
adjoining, as an unlimited hunting ground.
The story that Jeff. Davis had been man
acled, it seems, was correct. The reason for
so doing, was on account of his throwing his
rations into the face of the guards, and for
other unruly demonstrations. The irons
were removed after being on two days.
A portion of the bluff above Columbia,
Kentucky,fell into the river on June 2d, car
rying with it a part of Fort Halleck, and

known, but it is thought a number of lives
were lost.
It is said that the rebel Gen. Longstreet's

The President, it is said, is opposed to
military tribunals, and hence, Jeff. Davis
will be tried before a special term of the
District Criminal Court, with.a full bench of
judges. The war is said to have left the arsenal at
Macon, Ga., in good order, and with ample
machinery for the manufacture of large and

Amnesty and Reconstruction.
We publish, on our first page to-day, the
Amnesty Proclamation of President John
eon, and on the inside his Reconstruction
Policy. These two proclamations are im
portant documents and are intimately con
nected, and will be read with interest.
By a clause in the Amnesty Proclamation,
it is made the duty of the Secretary of State
to establish rides and regulations for admin
istering and recording the Amnesty oath so
as to insure the benefits to the people, and
guard the Government against fraud. Pur
suant to this injunction, Secretary Seward
directs that the oath may be properly 4 "pre
scribed before any commissioned officer, civ
il, military, or naval, in the service of the
United States, or any civil or military offi
cer of a loyal State or Territory, who, by the
laws thereof, may be qualified for adminis
tering an oath." All officers who receive
such oaths are also authorized "to give cer
tified copies thereof to the persons respec
tively by jvhom they were made," and such
officers are required to transmit the originals
of such oaths at as early a day as may be
convenient to the State Department, where
they will be deposited, and remain in the
archives, of the Government. A register
thereof will be kept in the' Department, and
on application in proper cases, certificates
will be issued of such records in the custo
mary form of official certificates.'
Affairs in Virginia.
It is reported that the rebels had a ma
jority in the Virginia Houe of Delegates,
or members elected by rebel votes. In many
of the election districts there were few, if
any, Union soldiers, and rebel civilians had
it all their own way. According to orders
only loyal men were entitled to the elective
franchise. No person who had ever given
"aid and comfort" to the rebellion was to
enjoy the privilege of voting; yet it is a no
torious fact that these men were more nu
merous at the polls than any others, and e
lected whom they pleased. Under the cir
cumstances it is doubtful whether the re
turns of the Secession members will be re
garded as valid, or whether President John
sou or Governor Pierpont will permit the as
sembling of such a Legislature ; notwith
standing the rumors of difficulty in case the
action of the rebels is set aside. The situa
tion is not a very pleasan t one, and is calcu
lated to embarrass the Governor in his efforts
to establish law and order in Virvinia; but,
if no other resort i3 left, he must be backed
by a military force to enable him to get the
machinery of the State again in motion.
New Jersey,
Hon. George Bancroft, in his able paper
in the J une number of the Atlantic Month
ly, refers to the action upon slavery of the
fathers of the republic, and says that "the
vote of New Jersey only was wanting to
have sustained the proposition of Jefferson,
by which slavery would have been excluded
not only from all the territory then in the
possession of the United States, but from all
that they might gain.". New Jersey went
for the continuance of slavery in 1787, and
does the same thing now, by choosing a le
gislature which has recently rejected the anti
slavery constitutional amendment. No oth
er free State stands with New Jersey in this
action ; and what is more than all this, New
Jersey never changes in her attachment to
the dogma of Democracy.
Indemnity Due by England.
The N. Y. World says that the "Memo
rial Diplomatique" of May 14th makes pub
lie the important fact "that the Government
of President Johnson has instructed the A
merican Minister in London to require of
the English Government a prompt decision
as to the indemnities due the United States
for looses caused to Federal citizens by rebel
cruisers, such as the Alabama and otr ers,
constructed and equipped in English ports
since the lieginning of the war." The Me
morial says "President Johnson on'y renews
a demand several times made by President
Lincoln, and denied by England, but he ac
cents it with more vigor and energy than
ever."
Our National Debt.
The following is a correct statement of
the Public Debt, as appears from the books.
The Treasurer's returns and requisitions in
the Treasury Department on the 31st of
May, 1865, are: Debt bearing interest in
coin, $1,108,113,841 80; outstanding, $64,
480,489 50 ; interest debt bearing interest
in lawful money, $1,033,476,371 04 ; out
standing, $60,158,384 52; interest debt on
which interest has ceased, $786,270 09 ;
debt bearing no interest, $472,829,270 57 ;
total am't outstanding, $2,635,205,753 50;
total amount of interest,' $124,638,874 02.
Sigxieicent the fact that certain politi
cians in this place did not observe the day ap
pointed by President Johnson as a da of
prayer, yet within the last few weeks they
endeavored to convince their adherents that
Andrew Johnson belonged to their party.
They claim the man, but won't obey his rea
sonable requests. It will be well for the
people to remember these facts.
Many of the business men in Newberne,
North Corolina, favor the proposition to
pay the National debt by voluntary contri
butions, and say they will do their part.
The disturbance among the miners in
Schuylkill county has subsided, and many
have gone to work again. The presence of
the military healed the troubled waters. " I
Prom Alabama.
The Tribune1 correspondent, writing from
Montgomery, Alabama, details the march
of the First Division of the Sixteenth Corps
from Blakely, opposite Mobile, to that place.
They passed through a part of the r country
not visited before by a Union army, and the
people were greatly excited and terrified.
The wealthy planters tried to hide their
stock and supplies in vain. Mules and loads
of bacon were dragged out of the swamps
and hiding places to replenish our scant
commissary. The negroes hailed us as their
deliverers, and the number that followed us
to Montgomery is estimated at 5,000. - One
old man seventy-eight years of age, born
in the North a freeman, had been kidnapped
at the age of fifteen, and been held in slave
ry sixty-three years said he was deter
mined, this being his first opportunity, to re
gain his freedom. On one of the planta
tions an overseer shot and killed a nogro
and wounded one for not hurrying to
work after looking at some of our soldiers
passing. The overseer's house was burned
down, but he succeeded in making his es.
cape. The refugee negroes are rapidly en
listing. The people of Montgomery are
very sullen, not realizing their being subjugated.
Sympathy and Congratulation.
The Workingmen of Europe sent an"Ad
dress'' tothe President of the United States,
in which they tender their heartfelt sympa
thy to our people for the suffering in which
they are engulphed by the assassination of
the late Chief Magistrate, and in which
they also congratulate the American Gov
ernment on the glorious termination of the
struggle for liberty, law and Christianity.
The closing passage of the address thus el
oquently appealsto PresidentJJohnson :
"Yours, sir, has become the task to up
root by the law what hs been felled by the
sword to preside over the arduous work of
political reconstruction aud social regener
ation. A profound sence of your great mis
sion will save you from any compromise
with stern duties. You will never foiget
that, to initiate the new era of the Emanci
pation of Labor, the American People de
volved the two responsibilities of leadership
upon two men of labor : the one Abraham
Lincoln, the other, Andrew Johnson.
South Carolina.
The Charleston Courier of the 31st ult.
c-ays: "Ensign Neil, who was sent to con
sult the planters on Cooper river concerning
the making of contracts with freedmen, re
ports that the planters are willing to do all
in their power to promote the interests of
the common country. They suffer from the
depredations of idle, roving people, mostly
colored, and are anxious to secure farming
implements, mules, horses, &e. The
Charleston correspondent reports the arrest
of Governor M'Grath, of Columbia, S. C,
on the 27th ult., for high treason. He was
taken to Hilton Head, and will soon be sent
North for trial. He surrendered himself to
Lieut. II. Breck, who had been sent to ar
rest him. Wade Hampton escaped, and his
whereabouts is unknown. Columbia is gar
risoned by the 15Sth Ohio regiment. The
citizens are taking the oath of allegiance in
crowds. The other towns in the interior of
the State are properly garrisoned.
Prospects in the South.
The Richmond Republic of the 26th ult,
says '. "From gentlemen who left Danville
Tuesday morning, we have late intelligence
from that section of the State. Peace and
quiet reign supreme throughoutthe country.
Under wise regulations, adopted by the mil
itary authorities, the negroes are returning
to their homes and to their work. The wheat,
corn and oat crops ar most promising, a
fact which we chronicle with the more t at
isfaction since the settling down of the ne
groes to work insures their being properly
cared for and harvested. The recent heavy
rains extended as far as Danville; and being
unaccompanied with hail, as was the case in
the country north of Richmond, were most
acceptable to the farmers. "
Prom New Orleans.
Advicesfrom New Orleans give the details
of the surrender -of Kirby Smith's forces,
but the main facts have already been stated.
The report says that some of the rebel Gen
erals requested permission to be allowed to
take 20,000 men across the Rio Grande to
the assistance of J uarez. The rebel Gener
als were very anxious to obtain permission
to ship and sell cotftn enough to pay their
troOps, but the scheme fell through. The
rebel General Price has gone to Galveston
on the transport Clinton, and Generals Buck
ner and Brant have returned to Alexandria,
accompanied by General Herron, who will
arrange for the occupation of the country by
the Union forces.

Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State.

' r Summer Fruits.
" Acids promote the separation of the bile
from the blood, which is then passed from
the system, thus preventing fevers, the pre
vailing disease of summer. All fevers are
"bi.ious," that is, the bile is in the blood.
Whatever is antagonistic of . fever is cooling.
It is a common saying that fruits are. "cool
ing," and also berries of every description.
It is because the acidity which they contain
aids in separating the bile from the blood,
that is aids in purifying the blood. Hence
the great yearning fbr greens, and lettuce,
and salads, in the early spring, these being
eaten with vinegar; hence, also, the taste for
something sour for lemonade on an attack
of fever. But this being the case, it is easy
to see that we nullify the good effects of
truits and berries in proportion as we eat
them with suear. or even with sweet min
or cream. If we eat them in their natural
state fresh, ripe, perfect it is almost impos
sible to eat too many to eat enough to hurt
us especially if we eat them alone, not tak
ing any liquid with them whatever.
A Good Sign.
The universal aco uiescence of the South
ern people in the issue of the war is shown
in the fact that, thouch small detachments
of our troops are now penetrating all parts
oi tne ctoutnern states, we have not heard
oi any ot them being in any place molested
Small detachments have gone out and garri
soned various important points in Virginia
and have entered all parts of North Caroh
na with perfect freedom. A negro regi
ment has gone as far as Orangeburg, in
fcoutni,arolina,and no.one has meddled with
them. Steamboats and troops penetrate
the Savannah river as high as Augusta, and
a few hundred Union soldiers uccupy Mil
ledgeville, and the Georgians make no pro
test. Our steamers aud soldiers go up the
Alabama River as far as Montgomery and
Selma, without molestation. And so it is
all over the South. The Southern people
naa quite enougr ot a war in the interests
of Jeff Davis and slavery, aud are now dis
posed to be peaceful.
South Carolina and Her Taxes.
A memorial has been addressed to the
Secretary of the Treasury by property hold
ers resident in Charleston, South Carolina,
who have taken the oatb of allegiance, ask
ing that the collection of the taxes for the
sea coast parishes of South Carolina shallbe
suspended until the first of next January.
Their case is put, of course, in strong colors,
such as those South Carolinians know how
to use. They say that their city is in ruins,
its population dispersed through the interior
of the State, the cry for food is heard in the
streets, penury and want are everywhere
prevalent, their cotton and tobacco, in which
they had invested their available means,
have been seized and taken away, and that
two thirds of their people being absent, can
not look after their property.
Tides of Rebels.
It does not seem to be quite the proper
thing that men whose titular importance has
been acquired by their crimes against the
peace and safety of society, should be greet
ed with their titles, now that they stand dis
comfited and disgraced. We approve the
nice taste that designates the once Hon.
Jacob Thompson, in his present character
as Jake Thompson. Generals, Colonelsand
Captains who have borne the honorable
titles, in hostility to their country, should
be by commonjusage, stripped of the distinc
tions which they have disgraced. If they
have their bare names left to t hem it is as
much as they deserve. Who speaks of
General Arnold? Benedict is the name
that identifies the character.
A "Worthy Example.
There will open at the city of Milwaukee
on the 2Sth of June; a grand fair, under the
auspices of the people of the whole State,
for the purpose of realizing a quarter of a
million of dollars, to establish and endow a
permanent home for Wisconsin's disabled
soldiers. This is the first effort of the kind
made in any State, and the object is so
praiseworthy that the people of Wisconsin are
taking hold of it with an unanimity and en
thusiasm that is surprising to see, even in
the wholes-ouled generous West.
General Hooker.
This officer, says the Cincinnati Commer
cial has been charged with showing incapa
city when in command of the Army of the
Potomac, and with intoxication at the battle
of Chaneellorsville. The report of the com
mittee of Congress on the Conduct of the
War concerning General Hooker, is, we are
glad to say, decidedly favorable that offi
cer. The blame for the failure of the Army
of the Potomac, when Hooker was its imme
diate commander, is chiefly thrown upon
Halleck and the charge of intoxication
is, after a close investigation, pronounced
unfounded.
A Truthful Sentence.
Victor Hugo writes: "The Thunderbolt
which has broken on Washington has shat
tered the world. Darkness of this kind oc
curs in history. After the dawn the night.
But the American people is a collossus of
Bronze. Traitors can scratch it, but they
know not how to destroy it. If Liberty
should fall in America, there would be a
shiprweck of humanity."
Sentence of Harris. -The
N. Y. llerahfn special says : Congress
man Harris, of Maryland, who was tried
for persuading rebel soldiers not to take the
oath of allegiance, was sentenced to three
years imprisonment and forfeiture of all po
litical rights. . The President approved the
finding but remitted the sentence.
Ex-Gov. Magoffin, of Kentucky, has
come out decidedly in favor of the adoption
of the constitutional amendment by that
State. So learns the Louisville Journal,
which says further : "We understand that
Gov. Magoffin is so fully impressed with the
importance of immediate action on this great
question, that he intends to take the stump
in behalf of the amendment.
" A National Bank is about to be establish
ed at the promising city of Austin, Nevada
Territory, with a capital of $150,000, all of
which has ieen subscribed. This will be the
First National Bank West of the Rocky
Mountains.
