DISCHARGE OF PRISONERS.

The following general order for the discharge,
Of certain prisoners of war has been issued by
the President Of the United States:
War Department, Adjutant Gents Office,

I The prisoners of war at the several depots in

First-All enlisted men of the rebel army,
and petty officers and seamen of the rebel navy,

glance.
Second-Officers of the rebel army not above

above the grade oflieutenant, except such as

Academy, aud such as, held commission in

of the rebellion, may be discharged upon taking

spect to the discharge of officers having higher

AN EXTRA SEsSION-A runlor has been set
afoat from Washington that President Johnson
will probably before long issue call for an ex-
ira session Of Congress, and there may be some
thing in it. The long interval of six months TO
the regular meeting of the two Houses may be
longer than the Executive will think it exped-
ent to watt especially as each House, upon the
question of admitting the members elected
thereto from any State, is the absolute judge
yee or nay.s Thus the concurrence Of the two
Houses is necessary to the consummation of the
work of reconstrpcticn in each and all of the
late rebellous States. To this view, and in or
der to secure some uniform system in a law from
Congress, it is not improbable that President
johnson may call an extra session, and lay be-
fore the two Houses not only his general pro-
oramme of reconstruction, but some important
suggestions in reference to the relief and en-
couragement to labor and trade of the impover
ished white and emancipated black population
of the South, and in reference, also; to their
rights of property, confscatons and taxations.
He may likewise fnd it expedient to call for
some measures of legislation touching our ma
tional finances and national debt, and the ques-
tion of general bankrupt law Upon all these
things there is proper work for special session
Of Congress and yet it is possible that, looking
to practical results, Andy johnson may deter
mine to do without the assistance Of the fussy
and impracticable Northern abolition radicals as
long as possibility. 7. Herald.

LARGE NOSES.

Phrenologists make great account of the nose.
If any one is disposed to set them down as
dreaners, then we cite Napoleon and other
good judges, who thought very highly of this
member as prominent mark of character. By
them large nose is considered an almost never
failing Iadication of strong will. One can see
this every day -zemplifed on very common ec-
casions. The first tine you are on a steamboat
take the trouble to notice who first rush out
from il se jump ashore. They are all oig-nosed
people to man. Y ou need not keaOybody's
word FOR this, But examine for yourself
It was for nothing that conquering nation
of antiquity had Ronaan noses No'timd peo-
pie they, who did not know their own minds
They knew them very well and made the rest
of the world acquainted with them too Well
developed noses do not indicate predomnance
Of imagination. The Romans were not distin-
guished for this faculty; but they appear, in
some way or other, connected with taking the
lead in practical matters, They go before, and
clear tne way, where organs of less size and
strength would fail to penetrate and open pas
sage. They go ahead at fights and fires, and
are foremost in crowds, IN riots, and daring un-
dertakings; sometimes getting the whole body
into trouble, but then the first to .Ieao the way
to an escape We see them pointing the way
to glory in the warrior and hero, in Washington
and Wellington, and with never-failng forecast,
guiding the sagacity of statesmen.
We do not know if it has ever been remark
ed that the Hebrew nation owe their uncommon
excellence in music to this portion of their phys
les, rather than to their ears. 1t is customary,
we are aware, to speak of an ear for tune an ear
for time, &c; but We would suggest, with defer
ence, whether it would not be more correct to
say nose for harmony and song. Certain il is
that the descendants Of Jubal and Asaph are
among the chief musicians OF this day, as the
illustrious characters we have mentioned were
of theirs; and they are remarkably endowed
with the nasal organ. Evidently, the nose was
not placed in such proximity with the instru-
ments of vocal sound for nothing And it is
not only an index of musical capacity in its pro-
prietor, but an excellent musician itself.

The business portion Of Navasota was
destroyed on the 23d inst, by an explosion
Of gun powder, which set fire to several
buildings, and was not arrested until TWEEN
ty buildings of all kinds were reduced to
ashes. The quantity of powder which ex-
plodcd amounted to 6,l00 pounds.
Eight lives are known to have been lost,
and several persons are yet missing. One
citizen, Mr.. Hanifau is known to be lost
the balance Of the victims were soldiers.
The FIRE originated by vicious soldier
thre wing lighted fuse into some loose pow
der scattered near tho warehouse in which
it was deposited.
The largo warehouse Of Messrs, Thomas
& Co. was entirely consumed, with all its
contents, valued at 10000 dollars. Among
the contents wore the presses md fixtures
of printing Office belonging to this office,
valued at 5000 dollars.
Nolan's Hotel, and the entire block on the
north side of the street, leading to Ander-

amount 70 80 or 20, 600 dollars,
The conclusion, was so great as to destroy

THE Texas TRoors have been much and
Justly blamed for disbanding and going
home without authority. At the same time,
however, they did no worse in this respect
than the troops east Of the Mississippi Riv-
err. Lees army began to 60 to pieces from
the moment Of the evacuation Of Richmond,
so that from sixty thousand it had melted
to less than ten thousand, when it was sur
rendered. Jchnston's and Taylors armies
did the same way, 80 that at their respec-
tive surrenders they had under control but
small portion of their nominal forces. The
example Of despair and disbandment was
really set by the troops east Of the Mississip.
ri, and that fact had been communicated
to the troops on this side by arrivals from
the east.
Moreover, the whole army had become
thoroughly satisfied that there was to be no
real continuation Of the war for indepen-
dence and that their remaining in the field
would accomplish no good in that respect
Furthermore, they felt satisfied that the
surrender, with its terms and conditions.
could not be changed or moder ated by any
thing they might do. Hence, though twas
wrong, and will still give us trouble they
disbanded as soon as it was officially pub
,ished that negotiation for surrender were
proceeding. - 1elegaoph.

GEN. SnIRMAS.-A letter from General
Sherman was received here to-day, in which
he says that the war now being over he ex-
pected 70 be at home in @ few days. He
refers to the peace conference with john
ston, and states that, when the facts are
officially promulgated, his course will be
sustained by the country. The party who
received the letter, being familiar with
Sherman's policy, as instructed by the late
President Lincoln, asserts that the agree
ment with Johnston was only that which
Mr.. Lincoln foreshadowed to General Sher-
man at tho meeting at City Point. The
hasty and gratuitous conduct of Halleck
and Stanton, in censuring Sherman, it Is
predicted, will react on these gentlemen
with tenfold severity. Mrs. General Sher-
man is here and will remain in Cincinnati
until tho arrival of her husband Cincin-

REcoYsTRUcTroN.- New York Sun ap-
proves OF President Johnson's plans for re-
construction. 1t says II would be as incon-
sistcnt for the Government to recognize Smith
of Virginia, Vance of North Carolina, as
the Executives of their respective States, as
it would be TO recognize the power of the
II bel Constitution to which these officers
swore allegiance on accepting their posi-
tons. The President virtually tells the
people of the rebcllious States that mere
cessation of hostiliiies on their part will
not entitle them TO resume their official re-
lations with the Government. They Uust
not only renounce treason ono rebellion,
but must rescind all acts done in conformi-
ty Herewith. State Legislatures, therefore,
which have held power by virtue o the reb-
cl Government, cannot be recognized as le-
Ultimate law making bodies; and until they
are supplantel by thorough Union organi-
cations pledged to support the Constitution
Of the United States, the people of the rebel
States will be without local government.

Welt we are net surprised atit. The North

lam of mCjern times--untie the Gordian
Knot OF our aoeial and industrial existence
and like the man who won the elephant

ists, such AZ Beechsr, Garrison and Phillips,
smile complacently and have nothing to
suggest, while tho President, in quanda-
nv, seeking for o lOcp-hole Of escape, looks
forward TO the time when tho whites and
blacks "cannot get along well together"
and tho blacks will be forced to migrate to
some Country adapted to their condition"
The North will not have them up there, hav-
ing more Of them new than they have any
use for, and we cannot live with them here,
unless they 70 steadily to work and are un-
der some sort Of wholesome subsection. Lii
beria has proved miserable failure; and
the idea Of some portion Of our territory
being set apart and peopled exclusively by
citizens Of African descent may yet be..re-
duced to practice. And who should be con-
sidered an impracticable dreamer, for see
ing, in his minds eye, looming up in the
future, some rich State in Mexico, peopled
by "freedmcn," and the sublime doctrine Of
misccgenation being there carried out IL
its most luxurious proportions? Stranger

structon to large portion Of tho lower

three hundred lives we're lost \ large
number of buildings were entirely blown
up or destroyed by fire, and the steamers
Kate Dale and Col. Cowles were entirely
destroyed, together with from 5000 to TO-
600 bales of cotton, the most Of which was
private property. The News and Tribune
newspaper offices were among the buildings
destroyed The loss is variously estimated
at from FIVE to ten millions Of dollars, and
the area of buildings completely demolish-
cd covers space of eight squares of large
and costly buildings. The News adds:
"Thcre were about two hundred tons of
ammunition, consisting Of musket cartrid-
ges, cannon powder, and n large number of
blank musket cartridges, and quantity of
loaded shells, grape, canister and solid shot,
principally for field and siege guns. The
amount of powder, reaching fully thirty
five tons, was contained in tho warehouse.
1t was brought from Gainesville, and is
about one.half of The ammunition surren-

The Burlington (vt.) Dali Times of May
l4th, ssys that eight hundsed cavalrymen,
with their horses and equipments, (Alling
twenty three cars) passed through that city
en- route for Ogdensburg. Where they could
have come from we cannot even conjecture,
rs we have seen no notice Of their m0se-

are to do on the border at this time is q
matter equally mysterious. Gen. Rosecrans
