Ma.imiiian,s Manifesto.

Believing, or assuming TO believe, that Juarez
had fed to the United States, when transfer
ring his seat Of power from chihuahua to
Pas del Norte, Macmillan issued mani
festo declaring that tho contest was ended,
that Juarez had left tho "territory Of tho
country" and henceforward the struggle
would be only between honorable men of
the nation and criminal bands of adyentur-
ers." Upon the following day ho likewise
published decree stating that persons be-
longing to armed bands or associations not
legally organized, would be arrested and
tried by military commissioners, and If found
guilty be summarily executed. All persons
who may aid in any way, shape, or manner
these guerrillas are also to be punished in
the same manner. Even those who give ad-
vice or counsel will by so doing sign their
death warrant.
We are, then, to understand that Maxi
milan has commenced war Of extermina-
tion upon the Mexicans, hoping, by means Of
threats and vigorous punishment to coerce
them into subsection and loyalty. Mean
while, Juarez remains upon Mexican soil,
with no intention Of leaving, and the Mexican
loan of thirty millions Is being taken up
one New York firm having subscribed for
thirty thousand dollars yesterday.
Macmillan may find that he has been a
little too fast with his pronunciamento, and
DO compelled to take the back track.

with frequent attacks Of rheumatism, in the

and paralysis is feared. The loyal people Of

men and means for its prosecution. He was
the first to tender the President additional
troops the day after the battle Of Bull Run,
and until the middle Of 1854 he kept the
quota of his State ahead of all calls for men.
We trust that he will speedily recover, as his
death would be national calamity.

WISE AND HIS PRoPERrY.-The Republic,
of the goth, says:
General Grant, it is stated, has refused
to endorse the application of Ex-GOvernor
Wise, of Virginia, for the restoration of his
property"
This we are informed, is n mistake.
General Terry decided that he, as Military
ComnandaH4 Of the Department, could not
take the lands of General Wise from the
Freedmen's Bureau, which had possession Of
them as 'a5andoned lands" The Secretary
of War confirmed this decision of General
Terry. But neither Generals Meade nor
Grant passed upon the application of Gen.
Wise at all. The application passed through
their Offices when both were absent, and the
Secretary of War did not refer the applca-
tion to the Secretary Of the Treasury, who
alone could restore the land from the posses:
sion Of the Freedmen's Bureau.-RtehmOnd

very favorAbly Of the American Land Com

is President. 1t says: "Thus we see the
grand movement which we have on more
than one occasion recommended in these col
umns has at length been put forward. We
hope our Southern people will not fail to
take advantage Of the splendid opportunities
now offered them for turning their lands and
machinery to useful and profitable account.
The establishment of these Northern COM
panies provides a way by which the resources
of the South may be largely developed to the
permanent benefit of her people. From what
we can hear through the Southern journals
respecting the sentiments of the South in
reference to this matter of white emigration,
we are encouraged in the belief that the
designs set forth by the companies North,
and the method proposed for their execution,
will meet with the approval of this entire
section"

Should the War Department be able to re.

Organization OF the House.

Mr.. Mcpherson, tho Clerk, has informed
his friends, without reservation, that he will
not place upon the official list of members
any person claiming to be elected from a
State that has been in rebellion against the
Government. To do differently would be to
decide, himself, one of the most important
questions before Congress; for to let in
eighty Southern members at the outset to
vote upon the subject of their own recogni-
tion, would end the controversy in their
favor at once.
The uniform practice of the House during
the last three years has been not to admit
claimants from districts which have been in
rebellion till after the House has pronounced
upon their papers, This reverses the prac-
tice in ordinary cases, where the person
holding regular papers always holds his seat
till the House decides against him. Two
members from New Orleans participated in
the organization of the Thirty-eighth Con-
gress, but the previous Congress had admit
ted members from those districts, thus ac-
knowledging that they were entitled to rep
resentation. n, Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania,
rose and objected to the vote Of these mem
bers-Messrs. Field and Cottman--but finally
consented to waive the point, as their votes
could not affect the result SO that, even if
the previous House had not admitted mem
bers from these districts, it could not be
quoted as aprecedent.
