Andrew Johnson .—The Mont gomery (Alabama) Mail truly ob «erves that since the days of Andrew Jackson, no man has filled the Execu tive Chair of tbe United Slates Gov ernment of more decided character and firmness than the present occu pant of that responsible post. Hi» political career, to his present emin ent position before the American peo ple, ha^ been varied and remarkable. •Springing from the ranks of the peo ple, he has fought his way upward, through and over every obstacle, with a courage undaunted and a per severance and energy commendable in tbe highest degree, lie has ridden down every opposition, combatted the most powerful influences of wealth and party, and advanced with the stride of a giarit towards the loftiest reach of ambition. No matter what may have been said of his political antece dents, be has ever proved faithful to the interests of the people who elevat ed him, and has consistently followed up the conservative line of policy with a steadiness of purpose which com manded the admiration of even his most implacable political opponents. The interests of the people of the whole country, are much more likely to be subserved in the hand* of An drew Johnson, than they would iu the hands of any other American politi cian of the day. lie is a man who strikes out a line of policy for himself Telying upou his own knowledge of the people and ther wants, At pres ent it is to bis interest, as well as it must be the siucere wish of his heart, to restore his country to its original united strength. He is emphatically :a peoples' man, and undoubtedly will pursue that course in the future ad ministration of our National affairs which will be best for their weliare.— we have no fear of Andrew Johnson, and while the Nation laments the loss oftbat kind hearted and honest patri ot, Abraham Lincoln, it has reason for self congratulation that his mantle of charity bas descended upou the shoulders of a man who has the wis dom and the nerve to execute justice, uiiawed by influence and unbribed by •rain. A New Sugar Cane .—The Depart ment of Agriculture, is just in the re ceipt, from Japan, of a sample of sugar cane, somewhat resembling sorghum, for propagating and testing in this climate. It is cut in sections of three joints one of which is planted in a hill, thus growing from layers instead of seed. It was forwarded by Thomas Hogg, Esq., an officer of this Govern ment at Yokohama, who deems it worthy of trial in tnis climate. He savs it is extensively grown there, es pecially 011 the Island of Kiusiu, and thinks it will succeed here wherever Indian corn comes to maturity. It is thought that the peculiarity of its pro pagation, should it prove otherwise successful, would give it an important advantage over sorghum, preventing hybridizing with millets, and conse quent deterioration. A large portion of it was destroyed in the long voyage, hut enough is sound, and already sprouting, to enable the department, a year or two hence, to make a distri bution of it.— National Intelligencer.

IMPORTANT ORDER BY THE PRESIDENT* war D epartmbn, A dj't genmui-'s OrncE, ( Washington, June 17,1805. J General Ordern No. 84. The following order of the President of the United States in relation to transfer of abandoned lands, funds and property set apart for the use of Freedmen,-to the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Aban doned Lands, is published for the infor mation and guidance of all concerned : E xecutive M ansion, > Washington, I). C., June 12, 1865. j Whereas, By an act of Congress, ap proved March 3, 1805, there was estab lished in the War Department a Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands and to which, in accordance with the said act of Congress, is committed the super vision and management of all abandoned lands, and the control <»f all subjects re laling to refugees; and freedmen from re bel States, or from auy district of country within the territory embraced in tile oper ations of the army, under such rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the bead of the bureau aud approved by the President; and « j hereas, it appears that the management of abandoned lands, and sub jects relating to refugees and freedmen, as aforesaid, havo beun, and, still are, by or ders based oo military exigencies, or leg- islation based on previuus statutes, partly iu the hands of military officers disconnec ted with said bureau, and partly iu charge of officers of the Treasury Department; it is therefore Ordered, That all officers of the Troasury Department, ail military of ficers, and all others iu the service of the United States, turn over to the authorized officers of said bureau all abandoned lauds and property contemplated in said act of Congress, approved March o, 1805, estab lishing the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lauds, that may now be under or within their control. They will also turn over to such oflices all funds collected by tax or otherwise for the beue Jît. of refugees or freedmen, or accruing from abandoned lands or property set apart for their use, and will transfer to them all official records counected with the administration of affairs which pertain to said bureau. Andrew Johnson. By order of the Secretary of War. E. D. T ownsbnu , Asst. Adjt. Gen. Ki-<leni]itloii of Mutilated Bank Note*. The following important circular has been issued by the Treasury Department : Treasury Department, | Office of the Comptroller of Currency, ■ Washington, 1). (j. ) following suggestions are offered relative to the redemption of mutilated circulating notes of national banks, and their return to this office : First-—The notes are to be redeemed by the banks by which they are respectively issued, and should not be returned to this office,in sums less than;,'five hundred dol lars, or in even multiples of that amount. Second—Mutilated notes which have been tor'n or defaced will be received, when presented by the bank that issued them, provided all the fragments are returned and the engraving or signatures are not so far obliterated that it cannot be deter mined by what bank the notes were issued. Third—Fragments should be redeemed by banks in full when accompanied by an affidavit stating the case and manner of mutilation, and that the missing part of the note is totally destroyed. The good character of the affiant, should also be fully vouched for by the officcr before whom the affidavit is taken. These affidavits must lie forwarded to this office, with the fragments to which they relate, in order that the banks pre senting such parts of notes may obtain credit for the same. Exceptional cases may occur in which no affidavit can bo obtained, and where nu reasonable doubts chu exist in regard to the entire destruction or irreparable dam age to missing portions of notes—as by tire, .acids, etc.—where evidence of identity is ample by the signature of one or both officers, or title or locality of the bank, and the denomination of the note—whjjre the integrity of the bill-holder is unexcep tionable, and where no question could arise in regard to a fraudulent or improper use of missing parts : in such instances judicious discrimination must necessarily be exercised by the officers of the banks. It is, however, advised that such notes be received at their full face value, a per fect note given therefor* a record being preserved of the fact, to be sent to this of fice with the mutilated note when returned for redemption by the bank, in which case full credit will be allowed in this-depart* j ment. fourth—When no satisfaction can be i obtained in regard to the missing parts, and a possibility exists that any improper use can be made of the same, it is recom mended that a proportionate value oniy be allowed, estimating this by comparison of S the propoition returned to the missing ! parts. A record should be kept of the ! amount allowed in all such instances, and a voucher of the same rendered to this of fice, when the mutilated note or notes shall be returned for redemption. F.

Our once wealthy and fertile State, now bankrupt and desolate from the ravages of intestine war resumes her natural relations (which have been temporarily disrupted) within theglorious Union of the States, united by the bonds of universal freedom and ties that can never be dissevered. It is not my purpose to rake up the ashes of the past, by inquiring who has erred and who has not erred in the fearful struggle the nation has just passed through. Whatever may have been the causes of the outbreak, and however bitter may have been the feelings engen dered in the hearts of some, it is better that ail such matters be buried out of sight forever. It is not the past, but the pres ent and future we have to deal with. Great and responsible duties rest upon ev ery citizen at this crisis, to nianfu|ly go to work and assist in the re-establishment of civil government. In thatconnection it is a most cheering sign to see the spirit of submission to the laws, and willingness to acquiesce in the result, manifested by those so recently engaged in hostility to the Government. Even the soldiers return to their homes wiser and bettor men, frankly owning to tbe failure of their experiment, and all expressing a desire to atone for the errors of the past by cheerful obedience to tho Governmout, and glad again to enjoy its benificent rule. You, my friends and fcllow-citizens, for I esteem it a privilege to call you so, must follow in tho footsteps of so good an example. You must go to work to organize civil government in your respective Parishes. Sheriffs, Keeprdors, Clerks of Courts and I'olifce Jurors will have to bo appointed provisionally, until elections can oe held to fill these offices, Rs provided by law. You must confer among yourselves, and select men of in tegrity and capacity to fill these positions, 1 will act on your recommendations by appointing tho persons narued by you, if they are men of proper character, and have taken the oath prescribed in the lire sident's Proclamation of the Sth of De cember, 1863, or that of the 29th of May. lSt>4. This will be pre-requisite in »11 cases, the original or certified copy of which oath inust be transmitted with the application for appointment. It is also my intention to organize the Judiciary throughout the State by appointing provisionally Judges of the District Courts and District Attor neys as soon as practicable. The former class of officers are made appointive by the Executive, under the new constitution, for a term of six years, arid I invite recom mendations from you as to who shall fill those offices, as also District Attorneys. I cannot urge'upon yon too strongly tho importance of your acting promptly and with unanimity in thu matters heroin brought to your notice. If you neglect to avail yourselves of the opportunity offered yoti I shall bo compelled to make appoint ments to office for your section, from t,ho best information in tny possession, and you cannot blame me if they are not ac ceptable to you. Important oleotions will be held this fall. Members of Congre»« and a Legislature will have to be elected, and if each Parish is provided with proper officers to open the polls, an election tjr Goverrior ana other State officers accord ing to the new constitution, will taku place at the oiiine time. While the population of that portion of the State which has beeu so fortunate as to i lijoy the protection of the strong arm of the General Government, sooner than other sections,(and for which tlicy are not entitled to any merit of their own ) in or der to hasten the restoration of civil gov ernment in the State, have adopted a new constitution and elected a Legislature which has passed laws, yet I feci author ized to say that it was with no intention of forestalling or denying your rights lo participate in the making of the fundamen tal, as well as all other laws. In conclusion, I assure you that no ono is more anxious 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 liouisiana. Important Order by Gen. Herron. Freedmen Ordered to IteimUii with Their Former Masters. Hkajxj'bs Northern Division of Louisiana, I Shreveport,'La., June 11th, 1865. f General Orders No. 24. Great and sudden changes in the condition of anv class of people are always productive of tuff-Ting, and the tran.ition of the blacks from a state of slavery to freedom caonot fail to cause temporary suffering to all classes. Already this is being manifested by tbe negroes leaving their homes and setting out en masse, for the military posts, aad with no definite purpose,' except to leave the scene of their former bondage. The result of this state of things, if allowed, would be— 1st, The loss of the crops and the entire ruin of the agricultural interests in this part of the State. * 24. Untold suffering, starvation and misery among the blacks themselves. Without attempting, therefore, to regulate all the various interests arising out of this question, and which pertain properly to the 1'reedman's Bureau, the Major Oeneral Commanding deems it his duty to make such rules as in his opinion will best prevent suffering and restore quiot at the present time. H is therefore ordered that all persons heretofore held as slaves remain for the present with their former masters, and by their labor secure the crops ot the present season. The only place where they can obtain a living: tor themselves and their families is in the field, where they have been accustomed to work If found wandering about the country, or gathering at military posts, they w i 1 1 be arrested and pun ished, anu all transports and private steamboats running on Red Hiver are prohibited from carry ing this class of people except upon a written pass, which will be given ooly in exceptional cases. If necessary lor them to leave home or visit any of the military posts, they will be fur nisled with a pass by their employer t» prevent their arrest as vagrants. But while it is found necessary during the present, unsettled state of the country to make these orders relative to the blacks, the planters are reminded that 'he mat ter depends largely on them, and that only by fair treatment of the hands cau they hope to ma ture aad harvest their crops and carry on their plantations. Definite contracts must be mail" with the ne groes, which will be binding for the balance of the present season. > Planters who endeavor to d# this in good faith will be assisted in all proper ways, and it will do much towards restoring quiet and confidence.
