NEW YORK, Sept. 14 (Evening).
The following order has been issued by Genera:
Gilmore :

" Headquarters Depariment of South Carolina;
Hilton Head, SC., Sept. 8, 1865.

" General Orders No. 10.—In order to remove
all seeming conflict of jurisdiction between the civil
and military authorities throughout the State of
South Carolina, promote the preservation of quiet
and good order, relieve the people as much as possi-
ble from all unnecessary restraints of martial law,
and reduce the expenses of the military establish-
ment ; it is hereby orderel— .

" First—That the Superior and Circuit Provost
Courts will continue in operation as heretofore, and
shall have, as against any and all civil Courts, ex-
clusive cognisance to try and adjudicate all cases
wherein Freedmeen, and ctherpersons of colour, are
directly or indirectly concerned. This will not be
so interpreted as to restrict the authority of the
agents of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and
Abandoned Lands.'

" Second—The Civil C)urts may be opened, and
all civil and municipal ofEcers who shall have taken
the Amnesty Oath last prescribed, and who, if they
belong to either of ilia classes excepted from
amnesty, shall have received Executive pardon, -will
be allowed to resume the exercise of their official
duties under such of the laws of South Carolina, in
force immediately before the 17th day of November,
1860, as are not inconsistent with the laws of Con-
gress and the proclamation of the President, which
laws and proclamations are in all cases to be re-
spected.
" Third—lt being impracticable to establish and
preserve military posts in sufficiently close proximity
to maintain a perfect military police in every por-
tion of the State, the civil magistrates will be al-
lowed to make arrests in all cases of breach of the
public peace; but the arrest of freedmen and other
persons of colour, when rendered necessary by the
absence of the military, will in all cases be imme-
diately reported, and the custody of the person or
persons arrested promptly transferred to the nearest
military commanders.
" The functions of civil officers who disregard
this order will be suspended.

" By command of Major-Gen. Q. A. Gillmore.
" W. L. M. BURGER, Asst-Adj.-Gen.
(Official) "T. D. HODGES, Capt., 35th U.S.C.T.,
Acting Assist.-Adjt.-General."

The Washington correspondent of the New York
Tribune says :—" It has heretofore been stated that
Jeff. Davis will be tried before a civil tribunal for
treason, probably before the United States Court
for the Eastern District of Virginia. Nothing ad-
ditional has transpired on that subject since the an-
nouncement was made. It is a mistake to suppose
that Chief Justice Chase has anything to do with
the preliminary arrangements any more than he
has with the preparation of cases for adjudication
before the Supreme Court of the United States.
Nor has he expressed, as has keen stated, a desire to
try the case of the United States against Jefferson
Davis,:but he will try that, as he will all others
which may come before him, in the usual course of
business.

GREECE.

AMENS, SEPT. 25.

The King has announced his intention of dis-
pensing with a third of the civil list, in order to re-
lieve the embarrassments of the Treasury.
A letter from Athens in the Pays says :—" Bri-
gands are rising on the market here. Their heads,
which a month ago were only worth 5,000 or 6,000
drachmas, even for the most famous, are now offi-
cially demanded at 9,000, 10,000, and even 20,000
dr. The Government has succeeded in contracting
a loan of 3,000,000 dr. with the lonian Bank. One
of the first purposes to which this influx of cash has
been applied is to increase the rewards offered for
the capture of brigand chiefs, dead or alive. On
this subject a royal decree of the 10th August says :
%—‘ The pecuniary reward offered for killing or
arresting the brigand Kitzos Nifitzas. is fixed at
15,000 dr. Whoever shall give accurate informa-
tion as to the place of his retreat shall also receive
5,000 dr. A reward of 10,000 dr. is also offered to
any who may arrest or kill any one of the under-
mentioned brigands : Evangelis Spanos, George
Lyngos, Costas Liarocapis, and Costas Masouras.
Any person indicating the hiding-places of any one
of them shall receive a reward of 4,000 dr.: total
14,000 dr. for each brigand. A reward of 6,000 dr.
will be given to whoever shall kill or capture any
one of the following brigands : Barbouclis Diplas
Delis, Coutzoyannis, Cricas, Pelios Hellen, Alexis
Batzalexis, Elias Spanos, Elias Crikelas, Demetrios
Chouvelos, Niceolas Dedousis, and Athanasius
Repas. A reward of 3,000 dr. will be given for a
truthful indication of the retreat of each : total
9,000 dr. per each brigand.' These extreme mea-
sures show the extent of the evil. The brigands
plunder villages and farms, and defy the efforts of
the Governmtnt. The police, and even the soldiers,
will rarely venture to attack them unless with a
greatly superior force. Many of the peasantry,
either to save their own property or to share in the
plunder, aid the brigands with all their might, and
mislead their pursuers. Kitzos, who has long de-
solated Attica, has been enabled to brave the Go-
vernment and to continue his exploits. Whether the
high rewards now offered will induce the peasantry
to betray them remains to be seen. Public opinion
is greatly dissatisfied with the conduct of the army
in this matter, and in others besides."
