From Washineion.

New YORK, Oct. 13.-The Heralds Wash
ington special says: The report has in some
way gained currency that the President
Intends issuinga general amnesty. 1t is to-
day contradicted by those who have the
best means of judging its truth or ialsity.
The Tribune's Washington special says;
The PostOffice Department is making up It's
accounts for the next Congress, and it ap-
pears that while the mail service has been
sustained by the receipts for postage during
the rebellion, the deficit, when the mail
route services in the Southern States are
resumed, will be eight millions.
Major-General Thomas, of the Military
Division of the Tennessee, arrived here to-
day. He says that no black troops are be-
ing disbanded except when their terms gre
nearly out; that all are to be retained on
the same terms and conditions as the white
troops. The General remains about ten
days. .. .l ~. .....
The Secretary of War has called upon
Gen. Meigs to furnish an estimate of the
total cost Of subsisting 100000 troops for
twelve months. ;u.s .
The following exhibits the entire num-
Der of sick and destitute refugees and freed
men in this District who have received ra-
tions from Government as gratuity dur
ing the month of September last: OF the
3740 of this class in this city, IS receive
Government rations. OF the 49S on Gov
ernment farms in Maryland, 25O are SUBJ
sisted by the Bureau. OF the l,070 OF the
Freedmen's Village, or Arlington Heights,
l07 receive rations, and of the 500 in Alex
andria county, Virginia, l07 are subsisted
by the Government. No rations are issued
to the freedmen of Loudon and Fairfax
counties, Va, which contain respectfully
5000 and 5000 Inhabitants. AS several
journals have given ourrencyto the report
that much larger number of freedmen
are supported by Government in this city,
and that they are generally indolent and
worthless, the above official statement will
be sufficient refutation. There are in some
instances more rations than the number
quoted issued to freedmen, but in all such
cases they are given in part payment of la
Dor rendered the Government, and not as a
gratuity, FEr.... o. ~

vention of the Episcopal Church reassem-
bled to-day. The Collect for the burial SER
vice was read in reference to the death of
Rev. Lot Jones, ,tof New York.

hymns and psalms. 3 fTI say

The Wirz Trial.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.--The Wirz Com
mission reassembled this morning. Mr..
Schade read two letters from the letter book
OF Captain Wirz. One of these letters,
dated Dec. 1864, is directed to Asst Adj.
Gen. Neely, and says that he (Wirz) had re-
ceived eighteen packages of clothing for
the Federal prisoners, including blankets,
shoes, pants, socks and shirts, and that he
would proceed to distribute them without
delay. The other letter, dated Jan. "a, 1866,
was addressed to ASST Adj. Thomas, say
ing that the guard to escort men gathering
wood had been increased from twenty five
to sixty. ~, n, t,.,.E' ''-
Benz. 7. Silley, of Pa, testified that he
was admitting clerk In Captain Wirz's Of
fice and his business was, when prisoners
arrived, to make out the descriptive roll.
He was also ward master, having charge
of $50 men and 20 nurses. There was
much trading in hams, pork, bacon,
flour, meal, peanuts, sweet potatoes,
cigars, tobacco, &c. Clothes were
taken from the dead by our own men and sold
to the rebels. Witness never heard of the
stocks being inside the stockade. Confed-
crates as wellas Yankees were forbidden to
wash In the stream. Capt. Wirz made an
ineffectual effort to impress 500 slaves for
the purpose of enlarging the stockade, and
our own men refused to work tor fear of
compromising themselves. Among other
things the witness said that Capt. Wirz
condemned rice and corn bread, saying that
he would not feed his negroes on them, and
that the men who sent the cornneal TO An
dersonville should be, ,court-martialed, as
they were robbing their own Government.
