@The President has, bya general order,
released all political prisoners, including
those who had bee1 tried and sentenced to
imprisonment during the war. Over $50
were discharged from FoTt M'Henry in one
day, on taking the oath OF allegiance. The
President regards the war as ended, ard with
it ends al arbitrary arrests and summary
punishment, excepting in the cases Of those
Implicated directly or remotely IN the murder
Of President Lincoln It Is evidently the
purpose OF President Johnson to give all a
chance to be loyal citizens, and he will
doubtless punish promptly and relentlessly
all who violate the law or the peace of any
section of the Union.

EG in looking over our exchanges from
every section of the State, we find that the
grain and grass crops viii be immense this
year if nothing to damage them should hap
pen between now and harvest. The wheat
and rye fields in Centre county never pre-
sented more prosperous appearance and
from present appearances the grass in growth
promises an abundant supply of hay, which
will bring it to the old price. Even now old
stock is being sold at greatly reduced
prices in anticipation of the new crop. Farm
ers who have stored away hay in great guam
titles, and which yet remains unsoldj should
dispose of it now while yet fair price IS
obtainable, lest it remain on their hands
worthless mass. We know Of farmers IN this
county who have held back with their grain
when prices ranged at S2,4o for wheat,
which was the highest point it reached DUR
ing the past winter-and the consequence ls
they have nearly their entire last years crop
on hand, and he price at present is $l,5o.-

sSF The Court for the trial Of the Wash
ingtcn assassination conspirators convened
on Wednesday of last week. The prisoners
arraigned are Harold, Atterot, Payne, Arnold,
Mclaughlin, Audd and Mrs. Surratt. Each
OF the prisoners designated counsel but none
appeared except the gentleman named BY Dr.
Mucd. The prisoners respectively plead rot
gnilty As the proceedings Of the military
tribunal are kept secret, the public, of course,
can know nothing of the progress of the trials.
After they are over the government will make
the proceedings public. Until then. we must
rest satisfied, assured that strict justice will
be meted out to all the guilty offenders.
Since the above was written an order
has been issued allowing reporters for the
press TO be present during the trial Reverdy

We thought we had attained to a measur-
ably correct estimate of the impudence of
febele and traitors. We have made il study.
We have had it before Us ever since this
war began We have pondered it in the ab-
stract, and witnessed it in the concrete, but
we confess that our Washington correspond
ents statements of the return of rapid. .unsub-
dued rebels 10 the capital, and of their con-
duct there, presents phrase Of rebel efront-
~ which passes our former conception Of
the thing.
The breaking up Of the rebellion hiss sent
these uuclean birds back home to roost-
Men who went away from Washington and
have been for four year in array against the
Government, are returning theTe,and swelling
and strutting about those streets, apparently
glorying in their crimes, and without parti-
Gle of shame or rem orse for the innocent blood
they have shed in their parricidal warfare.
They are actually claiming the proper y they
forsook 10 become foes TO their country. If
such persons 20 unwhitped OF justice, we do
not understand the laws DOR the times. The
conteort which they show to the Govern
meht ara the loyal people, is an intolerable
insult 10 both. We cannot think thet the au-
thorities at Washington will tamely submit
TO the disgrace of their imp1dent behavior
and presence. The times are charged since
they ran away from their Homes The as
sumption ofslave holding pride anc insolenCe
have gone out of fashion while they were ab-
sent in the ranks They should be taught
their manners anew, according to the code
that has been inaugtrated under the auspi-
ces of LOYALTY and freedom.

and make arrangements by which the men
will be able to reach their homes in different

The Brooklyn Eagle philosopher, in his
efforts 10 keep up with the ADJUSTMENTS Of
the age, has slipped into base bali sport
He thus explains the science Of the game
The game is a great invention. II i,
easily understood. All you have to do is e
keep your eye on the ball.
It's all about the ball.
They also use a bat. The bat is q club
built on the model Of the club Barnum
killed Captain Cook with.
This is why the organization is called ,
club.
One fellow takes a club and stands on 1
line, and another stands in front OF him, ant
fires the ball back at him.
The chsp with the club hits back.
The ball flies in the other direction.
The first fellow drops the club as though
he was scared, aud runs like a pickpocke
with an NJ. p. after him.
Several fellows run after the ball: some
body catches il and fires il at somebody
else, when the chap who had the club stop,
running.
Another fellow then takes the club, and
the same man, who is called the "pitcher, 81
pitches on him, fires the ball at him, and
be hits back, knocks the ball, drops his club
and cuts his stick fer the fret base
Half dozen fellows out on picket duty
scramble for the ball.
One reliable B. B, is posted behind the
club man, in case the club man misses the
ball, 70 see that it don't 60 by and hit the
Umpire.
When one side is out the other side goes
in, and when both sides are out it is called
an innings.
Il is quite an intelligent game, depend
ing entirely on the use Of your legs The
fret principle Of the game is running.
When you are "in" you run away from
the ball; when you are ''out" you run Al
ter IT,
Il is splendid exercise; keeps YOU %
warm; consequently It is always played in
summer time.
