THE AMNESTY PRocLAMATIoN-AN INTER
EsTISG CHAPTER OF HIsToRY.-rhe Quincy
Qll.) Hhig has the following: In connection
with the issuing of the proclamation OF amnesty,
there may be stated one fact, which Is well known
in this city, and which 1t would now be proper to
place upon record as giving view of a part of
the secret history of the war, and showing to
those who only the outside phases of passing
events, what precautions our noble President
takes to keep himself informed of the state of
feeling mt the SOUTH and how carefully every
measure is considered and tested before its adop-
ton. About the 10th OF June last, Colonel
James S. Jaques, of the Seventy. third Illinois,
personal friend of President Lincoln's, was de-
tailed by him, with the advice and consent OF
Gen Rosecrans to proceed to Richmond on Sc
cret service the object being to ascertain, by
minGling with all classes OF rebels how nearly the
rotten Confederaey was ready for the great col.
lapse by a proffer OF general amnesty. The
amnesty then contemplated, included with what
was recently offered also the guarantee to the
leaders (unprOvided for in the late proclamatiOn)
of security to their lives, on condition of the Con-
fiscaton of their property and their perpetual
Acknowledgement or Punishment, or both. Col.
Jaaues entered upon the duty with enthusiasm,
as he heartily favored the plan, and believed that
the time for such proclamation was near at
hand. He proceeded TO Washington and received
his instructions, and embarked upon his perilous
journey He was gone more than three months;
where he went and what he did We have never
learned but from conversations with him, we in.
ferred that the result of his Investigations had
convinced him and the Government that the meas
ure would be appropriate at an early day. After
spending few days at home in this city, he re-
turued to his regiment, arriving just in time 10
lead 1t through the battle Of Chickamauga, where
one-fourth of his men were killed or wounded.
The disastrous result of this battle by the encour-
agement which 1t gave to the rebels, probably de-
layed the issuing of the proclamation until re-
deeming victory like that of Mission Ridge should
again place the odds in our favor"

SPIRIT MAD--Matthew Witty, an elderly
Englistman, who for some years kept an old junk
shop on First street. was brought to the City Hall
yesterday. by resident of the western suburbs,
at whose instance a writ de lunatieo iRqHireRdo
was issued and an examination ordered at / P. VI.
At the time designated the complaining witness
was not present, aud cx-policeman Horton, who
happened TO be acquainted with Whitney, com
meneed a conversation with him. 1t turned out
that the old gentleman had recently quit his old
Junk business. and had with portion OF the pro-
ceeds Of his industry, purchased three houses
over at Alameda, and thirteen acres of land, with
q partially finished house upon il, about half
mile from the old Seal Rock House, near the
ocean beach. He took up his abode in the latter
place, living alone. and busying himself with fin
ishing mp the house. For some time back he has
been annoyed past endurance by spirits, which
came up to him out Of the sea, and tormented him
with threats against his life, stories of family
matters which he did not wish to hear, singing,
dancing, etc, and on Monday night last he pulled
off his boots, jumped out Of the window and
capped from the premises, with troop Of the
fiendish visitors at his heels. For eight hours he
wandered in the darkness, endeavoring to escape
his tormen,ors, and finally sunk exhausted in the
bushes where he remained until morning, and
then made his way to u house. where he has since
been staying, afraid to return to the premises.
Horton questioned him sharply, and learning that
he had not only concealed a large sum of money
on his premises, but had told the people with
whom he was staying Of the fact, took Officer
Mnson with him, and in company with the spirit
haunted old man. went out and recovered the sum
of 81 400 in gold, which was found concealed un-
der the house. The money was brought in and
lodged in the police Office for safe keeping and
the unfortunate owner will be examined to-day

the least and It is pity that no other place than

Mr.. CHAsE.-when time shall have dis
charged from mems minds the passions and
the prejudices which confused their judg
ment, the name of the Secretary ofthe Treas
ury will be remembered with gratitude-not
only for distinguished services rendered, but
for massive, intellectual and statesmanlike
qualities. His was the most difficult part to
perform, to supply money and means to keep
our armies recruited and in the field. With
mastery ability he won the assistance Of
the capitalists of the country, and with a
strong hand sustained our finances in every
emergency and in every difficulty. He has
made the great loan of the people to the
Government popular one in every sense Of
the word. If he sought the counsels of the
abless men in the country, and pro6ted BY the
experiences Of the past, it is all the more
honorable to him, and good evidence that
he laid under contribution the financial ex-
perience and the banking wisdom Of the
ablest minds. Wen may President Lincoln
congratulate himself on having so strong a
man to help him steer the Ship of State over
stormy seas, and amid the white and break
ing pillows.

THE ARcH-TRAIToR Notwithstanding to the
New York Herald this promulgator of treason,
who abused his seat in the United States senate
before the war began, by preaching the dissolu'
ton Of the Union, is now in Paris obtaining audi
ence with the French Emperor. To those who
know his discriminating, scheming, aud unprinci-
pied career little doubt will remain of his enter
tanning some Benedict Arnold scheme to betray
his country. In 1859 he sought to gain to HIM
self the reputation Of prophet, by expressing II
as his belief, that il the American people should
elect n Republican President the Union would
be dissolved Subsequent events convinced the
peOple-nOt that Gwin was q prophet, but that
at the very time he uttered this affected warning
he was himself in league and sympathy with
traitors: and that the warning itself was threat
And accompanying that threat which he well
knew wonld arouse a loyal people to renewed ex.

prisoner was on trial for assault TO kill. After
having heard oil the evidence, arguments ETC., and
so soon as they had retired 10 deliberate, one

only stabbed Mexican said member OF the

the first, then let's acquit him. At this time
juryman suggested that they had better lind him
guilty and fx his penalty at two years in prison,
with which the fellow at once agreed The above

WEATHER AND HEALTH. - In his report for
February last, Dr. Logan. Secretary Of the Board
of Health, thus speaks Of the weather we had
during that time "As shown by the table, the
same fine weather commented upon in our re-
marks for the last three months continues to OBJ
tain.-the barometer and thermometer ruling in
excess Of the average of the past twelve years.
But little rain has fallen during the month, and
the nGgT cgRte for the season sums up TO only
1850 inches. Small as this is, It nevertheless
nearly reaches the total amount of rain for the
season OF lS50-J. This latter season was the
drest ever experienced since the settlement of the
State, and no rain Of any consequence then fell
until March and April. In looking over our
register we find that in one season have either
March or April ever proved to he dry months
the average rainfall for the former month being
3l2i inches, and for the latter LAG inches. TAX
ing these constants rs basis of induction. we can
confidently predict u full supply Of all the rain
needed for agricultural purposes during the pres
ent season" As TO the health of the city In Feb,
ruary. he states that twenty four deaths occurred
from diseases, etc, "a follow Ancurism /, dis

phoid fever |. cys;cris l. cyunnss J, debility !,

marks, that n difference of eleven deaths be-
tween the mortuary table for January md that OF

condition Of tho city, and shows conclusively that
the influence ofthc epidemic with which we have
