BY tie President of the United States Of liner
scd:
WHEREAS, By the proclamation of the Pres
ident of the 18th and 9th of April, 1861, e
blockade of certain ports Of rebellious States
was established; but
WHEREAS, The reasons for that measure
have ceased to exist, therefore, be it known,
that /, Andrew johnson, President OF the
United States, do hereby declare the blockade
aforesaid rescinded as to the ports west OF the
Mississippi river, which ports will be open to
foreign commerce on the LIST of July next, on
the terms set forth in my proclamation on the
22d of May last. 1t is to be understood, how
ever, that the blockade rescinded was to be an
International measure, for the purpose Oh
proclaiming the sovereign right of the United
States. The greater or less subversion OF the
civil authority in the region to which it appii-
ed, and the impraeticability of OF once restor'
ing that in due efficiency may for season
make it advisable to employ the army and navy
of the United States towards carrying the law
into effect.
In testimony whereof have Eereunto set
my hand and caused the seal of the United
States to be affixed. Done at the city OF
Washington this 23d Jay of June, in the year
of our Lord 1866, and of the Independence OF
the United States of America the seth.

COrnorants I'm CUSTODY.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The Tines Wash.
ington special says most of the scamps who
have been swindling our soldiers, are caught
one man having on hand $4,000 of unpaid
accounts against the Government. Larue
sums OF money have been recently invested In
soldiers accounts by se-called claim agents in
this city and Baltimore, who have purchased
what are called soldiers check books, in some
instances the agent giving the soldier but one
fourth of the amount coming to him from
Government. 1t has been decided that The
check book transfer is not such an assignment
of claim as will entitle the holder to receive
money due the soldier.

Confession of Atzeroth.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-This afternoon At
zeroth's counsel presented full confession OF
the prisoner. Mr.. Doster said the prisoner
Atzeroth submitted the following statement to
the Court:
lam one of party who agreed to capture
the President of the United States, but l am
not one of q party to kill the President, or any
member of the Cabinet, or General Grant, or
Vice President johnson. The first plot, to
capture, failed. The second, to kill, broke
away from the moment heard of it. This is
the way it came about:
On the evening of the 14th OF April met
Booth and Payne at the Hamden House, in
this city, at O'Clock. Booth said he himself
would take Lincoln and Grant, Payne should
take Seward, and should take johnson 1
told him would not do it; that had gone
into the thing to capture, but was not going
to kill. He told me was fool; that would
be hung anyhow, and that it was death for ev-
ery man that backs out. So we parted. /
wandered about the streets until two in the
morning, and then went to the Kimmel House,
and from there, having pawned my pistol at
Georgetown, went to my cousins house in
Montgomery county. / was arrested on the
18th following. q. AIAEkoIH.
