Andrew, the most eminent ecclesi
aat j c 0 f t ], e Methodistic Episcopal
r r
(Jhurch South :
Dear Brethren— The events of the
last few months have placed both the
Church and the country in greatly
altered circumstances, and hence it
becomes necessary to adapt ourselves
to our altered relations. Our hope
of obtaining a distinct nationality as
a people has been frustrated, and the
providence of God seems to have or
dained that we shall again be united
in civil compact with our former as
sociates of the North. The Stars
and Stripes again wave over us As
in the former days, and it is now our
national Hag and should be re
spected accordingly. We have with
our very inadequate means fought
through a bloody war, but have at
length been overwhelmed by supe
rior numbers, and have been com
pelled to yield. Our armies have
fought bravely, and we have lost no
honor iu the conflict, and now that
the struggle in over let us at once,
an< ^ iwhitely, apply ourselves to
tile peaceful avocations of life. Let
t j ie young oj the country now
return to their much loved homes,
nr.ek to engage the earliest moment
" " "
possible in some honest business,
and by all means avoid all tempta
tions to idleness.
Let all our paroled soldiers care
fully avoid all concern in bush
whacking or guerrilla warfare ; t hese
are wrong in principle and practice,
and whatever seeming apology there
j might have been for the practice
j during the war, there can certainly
! be none now. It becomes us all now
j to seek by practical means, to pro
• mote the return of peace and good
I neighborhood among the various sec
I tions of the United States. Let us
strive, as far as practicable, to forget
the? wrongs which we have suffered
: © .
and earnestly address ourselves to
the task of reconstructing the gov
ernment and promoting its peace and
unity. The brooding «over ottr al
tered fortunes, and making them
(he theme of conversation will tend
greatly to increase our bitterness of
feeling, and drive from our hearts
that peace of God, without which
our religion is a mere rinkling cym
bal. There are among us, at vari
ous points, Federal soldiers, who, so
far as I have learned, deport them
selves in a very orderly manner; let
us no t, by any action of ours inflll
tl, oln tn i rii Auront fours* of
once tlietii to a (linen nt cours», or
of
conduct, but let us extend to them
all the courtesies of life ; invite them
to your churches, that they may
mingle with you in the services of
religion, for, doubtless, many of
them, before they left their homes,
were members of the church and
consistent Christians.
Let such feel at home with you in
the house of God. And finally, if
you wish to live quiet and peaceable
lives, in all goodliness and honesty
before God, it is your duty to pray
earnestly and constantly to God that
He may give to our rulers wisdom
and integrity that they may be able
to bear rule iu the fear of God. And
now, dear brethren, may God pour
out upon us in abundance the
fear of His holy name, and the
influence of His spirit to guide us
aright in all tilings.

Atlmiiii«tcrii>K the Amnesty Oil tit
in ijouisittna.
IlRAOQnABTF.RS DSFARTMEHT Ot the GULP, )
yew Orleans, July 17th, 1865. /
To liif> Excellency H im Governor of Louisiana:
Sir —I have the honor to acknowl"
e( ]„ e t h e receipt of your note, of ye«
terday. in relation to the administering
of the amnesty oath, authore d by the
P™ dent 9 proclamation of May 29th
1865.
So far as the action of military offi
cers is concerned, instructions, blanks,
and the necessary books of record are
now being prepared and will, «oon as
the officers!
possibly be distributed to
authorized to administer the oath.
I do not think it will be well to per
mit, as a rule the civil and military
officers of the Stale of Louisiana to
administer the amnesty oath until the
authority of the State, as well as that
of the United States' is fully re-estab
lis'ned
No charges or fees will be demanded
by any officer of the army for admin
isteriniî the oath, except such as may
j - . r
be necessary to defray the expenses or
printing and stationery. 1 his will be
preicribed in the order, and wi,l
P ^bably be the best way of correcting
*, „haree« now made.
the extortionate charges now made.
Very respectfully, sir,
Your ob't. serv't.,
E. R. S. CANBY,
Major General Commanding.

C onfederate I mmigrants and A mer
ican I ndustry in* M exico .—It is not
to be disguised that in the conflict
of interests and principles which the
last rebellion has raised on this
continent the eyes of the Confed
erates have been always turned
upon Mexico as the land of their
affection, next to their own; as
their natural ally in case of success,
and as a land of refuge in case of
failure. A paroled Colonel of Gen
eral Joe Johnston'» army informs
me that many of the men belonging
to the educated class of the South
contemplate an emigration to that
country as soon as their business is
settled at home. Several of them,
he 6ays, have written to the minis
ter of war, at Mexico, to know
whether their services would not
be agreeable to the Emperor. It
is not to be supposed, however, that
their offer will lie accepted, Maxi
milian having more officers at pres
eut than he can provide for or
satisfy.
As emigrants engaged in civil
pursuits the Confederates will no
doubt be entitled to the same ad
vantages «s are offered to others;
advantages which, I am told, are
very groat, for the emigrant re
ceives not merely the land tree, but
the support of emigration societies
which are ready to support him
with agricultural implements and
provisions for a limited period. Some
of these lands are located in the
mineral regions, and present the
greatest inducements to speculators
and farmers. As soon as these
lands have received a certain con
tingent of emigrants, cities will
spring up, trade and industry will
begin and the whole face of Mexico
will be changed. In the expecta
tion of this prosperous era, Ameri
can speculators have already started
with iron houses, built in New
York and laid down the foundation
of village« in those portions of. tbe
mineral districts which they deem
to be the center of the mining op
erations. A New York editor has
also gone to Mexico for the purpose
of surveying the operations of sev
eral petroleum wells, which are
said to be inexhaustible. These
oil wells are owned by companies
in New York, and are said to rival
the richest wells in thle United
States.— Washington Correspond

M emphis Bulletin, of the 14th ult. :
The Charleston Railroad. —It is
with the greatest satisfaction we
learn that arrangements are suc
cessfully proceeding which will lead
to the reopening of the Memphis
and Charleston Railroad over its
entile length. It is the most im
portant road entering Memphis,
leading through the very heart of
the cotton country, passing through
the mountain chain, and reaching
the seaboard at one of the most im
portant harbors of the South. Tbe
labor to be performed is herculean,
but we learn that the task is com
mitted to the hands of Sam. Tate,
Esq., one of the very ablest railroad
managers in the United States.
That Mr. Tate has been less able as
a politician than as a railroad man
ager, we well know; that doubts
have been exprensed respecting the
possibility of au indifferent politi
cian being a tompetent railroad
manager, we are also fully aware,
but as we have, before now, known
a very poor preacher that was still
a very excellent shoemaker, we have
therefore no misgivings about Mr.
Tate being the "right man in the
right place." We know the work
is in good hands when under his
control—th.it it will proceed rapidly,
be completed punctually, and that
what is done will be well done.
When the Charleston Railroad is
completed, Memphis will begin to
realize the blessings of peace, and
enjoy the fruits of commerce; while
the work of "State reconstruction"
will go on iu the best of practical
ways by uniting the people with
the iron band, which is the bridge
ver which ideas pass, and beneath
die out arid perish forever.
Bär The New York Evening Post
says :
Conversing with four or five officers
of Sherman's noble army the other
day, they told us with one accord,
that they doubted whether one man,
rank or file, could be found in that
army who would express a favorable
opinion of thess military courts and
commissions outside of the army

they desired never to see another one
assembled. As a resort, amidst the
rapidity of action and decision, in a
time of war, they may be indispensable,
but there is no excuse for them when
other more regular tribuuala can be
reached.
G eneral and S ehator S her
man .—Senator Sherman has taken
deeided ground in favor of negro suf
frag«. Per contra, bis brother, the
General though rejoioing over the
downfall of slavery, does Dot believe
that the emancipted bondsmen are yet
capable of voting intelligently.

now wave» in majestic power ovetan un
divided nation. Our once wealthy and
fertile State, now bankrupt and desolate
from the ravages of intestine war rtaumea
her natural relations (which have been
temporarily disrupt'd) within the glorious
Union of the States, united by the hoods of
universal freedom and ties that can never
be dissevered. It is not my purpîse to
rake up the ashes of the past, by inquiring
who has erred and who has not erred in
the fearful etruggie the nation has just
passed through. Whatever may have been
the causes of the outbreak, and howtver
bitter may have been the feelings enjen
dered in the hearts of somo, it is bator
that all such matters be buried ontoMfht
forever. It is not the past, but the pos
ent and future we have to deal wi.h.
Great and responsible dutie» rest upon iv
ery citizen at this crisis, to manfully goto
work and assist in the re-establishmentif
civil government. In tbutconnection its
a most cheering sign to"see the spirit if
submission to the laws, and willingnessB
acquiesce in the re«ult, manifested by ihn»
so reoentiy engaged in hostility to thi
Government. Even the soldiers return U
their homes wiser and better men, franklj
owning to the failure of their experiment,
and all expressing a desire to atone for the
oirors of the past by cheerful obedience to
tho Government, and glud «gum to enjoy
its bonifictsnt rule. Y< n. my friends and
fellow-citizens, fori esteem it a privilege
to cull you so,must follow in the footsteps
of so good an example. You must go to
work to organize civil government In your
roKWuitive Parishes. Sheriffs, Recorders,
Clerks of Courts and Police Jurors wiU
h ve t» bo aopointed provisionally, until
elections can oe held to fill these offleas,
as provided by law. Yon must confer
umong yourselves, and seleot men of in
tegrity and capacity to fill these positions.
I will act on your recommendations by
appointing the persons named by you, if
they are men of proper character, and
have taken the oath prescribed in the Rrn
Bi'dcnt's Proclamation of the it, h of De
cember, 1868, or that of tho 29th of May,
1864.
This will be pre-requisite in all canes,
the original or certified copy of which oath
must be transmitted with "the application
for appointment. It, is also my intention
to organize the Judiciary throughout ibe
State by appointing provisionally Judges
of tho District Courts and District Attor
neys as soon as practicable. The former
clafs of officers are made appointive by the
Executive, tinder the now constitution,for
a term of »ix years, and 1 invite recom
mendation» from yon as to who shall fill
those offices, as also District Attorneys.
I cannot urge tipon yon too strongly the
importance of your acting promptly and
with unanimity in the matters herein
brought to your notice. If you neglect to
avail yourselves ot the opportunity offered
you I »hall be compelled lo make appoint
ments to office for your section, from the
best information in my possession, and
you cannot blame me if they are riot ac
ceptable to yoti. Important elections will
be hold tili» fall. Members of Congress
and a Legislature will have to be elected,
and if each Parish is provided with proper
officers to open the polls, an election for
Governor and other State otlicer», accord
ing lo the new constitution, will take place
at. the same time.
While the population of that portion of
tho State which has been so fortunate as to
enjoy the protection of the strong arm of
tho Goneral Government, »ooner than
other sections,(and for which they are not
entitled to any merit of their own) in or
der to hasten the restoration of civil gov
ernment in tho State, have adopted a new
constitution and elected ti Legislature
winch hus passed laws, yet I feel author
ized to »ay that it. was wilh no intention
of forestalling or denying your rights to
participate in the making of thefundamen
tal, as well a» all other I hwr.
In conclusion, ! assure you that no one
iß more anxion» to have the whole State
represented in all general elections, and
particularly for the office of Governor,
than myself. J. M adison W ells,
Governor of Louisiana.

Great and sudden changes in the condition of
an» clas» »I people are always productive of
luü'äring, ïnd the tian itloo of the black« from a
state of tlavery to freedom ca not fait to cause
temporary «injuring t • all classe». Already this
is being manifested by th« negroe« leaving their
home» and settinis out eri masae, for 'he military
pOfts, and with no definite purpose, except to
ieave the sce ie of their former boudage.
The resu.t of this state of things, if allowed,
would be—
1st. The loss of the crops and the entire ruin of
the aiçricultural interests in this part of the
Stat«.
2d. Untold suffering, starvation and minery
among the blacks themselves.
Without attempting, therefore, to regulate all
the various interests arHtiK out of this question,
and which pertain properly to the Kreedman's
Bureau, the Major General Commanding deems it
his duty to make such rules as In his opinion will
best prevent suffering and restore quiet at the
present time. It is therefure "rdored that all
persons heretofore held a« slaves remain for tbe
present with tbeir former masteri», hbc I by tb^ir
lab r secure the crops of the jtreflent season. The
only place where they can obtain a living for
themselves and th«ir families is in the ffeld*
where they have been accustomed tn work If
found wandering about the country, or gathering
at military post«, they wil" be arreatea and pun
ished, anu all transports and private sieamboats
running on Red River are prohibited from carry
ing this class of people except upon a written
pass, which wi)l be given only in exceptional
cafte-. II necessary »or them to leave home or
visit any of the military posts they will be fnr
nisLe i with a pass by their employer to present
their arrest, a* vagrants. Hut while it is found
necessary during the present unsettled state of
the country to make these orders re'ative to the
blacks, the planters are reminded that he mat
ter depends largely on them, and that only by
f-iir treatment of the haacis can they hope to ma
ture and harvest their crops and carry on their
plantations.
Definite contracts must be made with the ne
grotg, which will be bindiDg for the balance of
the present season.
Planîer.i who endeavor to do this in good faith
.
will be assisted in all proper way«, and it will do
much towards 1 estcrin« quiet and confidence.
