The restrictions upon uade. Very few persons
understand tie proclamation as affecting the act
Of Congress which provides for the payment Of
twenty-five Ter cent Of the products 10 the Gov

entirely wipe out the twenty-five per cent. clause,
and totally aboli-hes the Treasury special agen

rnent, and puts an end TO the cotton agents. The
occupation Of these agents is gone-thelr term Of
service expired with the issuing Of the proclama-

States recently in rebellion will move forward to
the markets unrestricted, and subject only TO
such custom house regulations and internal rev.
euue taxation as Is imposed upon the products Of
