SUMMARY OF NEWS.

The Jackson Neacs is authorized to announce
to the public that the entire line of the New
Orleans and Jackson Railroad is completed
and will be ready for through passengers on
Monday next
The rebel General Hardee is living on his
wife's plantation in Alabama.
General Grant has issued an important Gen
eral Order, by which it would appear that all the
colored troops, except ing sufficient to guard all
but two of the ea-coast ports, are to be mus
tered out. A wise order.
Washington correspondent telegraphs that
the President contemplates issuing general
amnesty proclamation. We incline to the
opinion it will hardly be a general one.
Our dispatches report an affray at the Exec
utive Manson in which a drunken ruffian, on
being refused an audience with the President,
drew a revolver on the officer refusing him.
Immense frauds in the revenue have been
discovered at Nashville one large liquor-house
having swindled the Government to the amount
of $3.50, 900. The United States Collector for
Cincinr att has gone to investigate the matter.
