oRs-In General Orders No 63. issued by
Maj. Gen. Gilmore, ard which we publish
this morning. we have an index of the
policy to be adopted by the United States
authorities with reference to the matter of
reconstruction. Those men who acted rs
Executive officers Of the insurgent States
in this department during the war, viz: 4.
&. Magrath. of South Carolina; Joseph f.
Brown, Of Georgia; and n. Il. Allison. of
Florida: aud who have issued proclama-
tions declaring 10 what use subsistence
stores and other property shall be put
and calling upon the officers and members
of the Legislature to meet in extraordi-
nary session. are set down as traitors, and
their proclamations are declared null aud
void. The people to whom the same are
addressed, are eujolned and comman d ed
to give no heed to documents emanatine
from persons claiming the right to exercise
the authority of Governor of the States
mentioned, unless the same sha all have
received the sanction Of the United States
authorities.
The Government will, doubtless, make
known at an early day the method to be
pursued by the people in resuming or
| assuming the exercise of their political
rights.
1t is announced that the black race are
free citizens of the United States. and that
they will be protected as such Citizens
whites and blacks-are reminded that
it Is their duty to observe the laws Of
compensated labor.
The people viii! look upon this order of
Gen. Gilmore as one of the most impor.
tant that has been issued in this depart

OF points which are of primary interest to
the several communities to whom it is
addressed. AS we have endeayored to
impress upon our readers, at various
times, the efforts of rebels to restore the
political rights of States will not be receg.
nzed by the United States authorities.
The proclamations Of Magrath, Brown and
Allison, are not only an insult to the Union
people in their respective States, but they
are considered as trcasonable measures bv
the United States Government.

Restrictions on Trade.

We ',.yesu,ne that no long time will
>laI.se before the Government Of the
Unit, ! States will re:love all restrictions
now urnecessary-apon the trade OF the
country. We refer to the Executive order
OF tLe 2Gth April. signed 10y Andrew
5olusoa. in which protesting his object to
hn to ".c.;sve all loyal and we'll disposed
persons res:ling in the insurrectionary
states ir,H. unnecessary commercial re-
str:c;inns aud to encourage them to return
to i.~s>riul pursuits" he orders:
"ist That all restrictions upon inter
nal domestic and coastwise commercial
intercourse, be discontinued in such part
OF the States of TENNESSEE Virginia. North
Carolina, South Caspina. Georgia. Florida,
Alaps,na, Mississippi and so much of Lou
isiana as lies East of the Mississippi River,
as shall he embraced, within the lines of
the nutiopalmiltary occupation, excepting
only such restrictions as are imposed by
the Acts of Congress, and regulations in
pursuance thereof prescribed by the Sec
retary of the Treasury and approved by
the President. and excepting also from the
effect of this order the following articles,
contraband Of war, to wit: Arms, ammu-
nition and all articles from which ammu-
nition is manufactured; grey uniforms and
cloth, locomotives. cars, railroad iron and
machinery for operating railroads; tele-
graph wires. insulators and instruments
for operating telegraph lines.

revoked, and that no military or naval
officer in any manner interrupt or inter-
dere with the same; or with any boats or
other vessel engaged therein, under proper
authority, pursuant. to the regulations Of
the Secretary of the Treasury"
That some of the articles, excepted to
as contraband, are now permitted to l. e
brought 10, we infer from the repairs
going on upon the railways of the coun-
try. We would also suppose, though,
grey uniforms may be still excepted. that
there'is good reason remaining for the con
tinued warfare upon grey cloth, which
per Sc, would seem to be harmless enough,
with little in its aspect which the most
belligerent eye could construe' into pug
nacity. To deny our people to wear grey
cloth, when there is little besides in the
country, and when they have clothing OF
no other complexion, is to strip the citizen
OF his last pair of breeches. Ia such case,
our costume must needs be simplfed to
that of the cheualier d';ndtstrie. whose
sole uniform consisted of shirt collar.
familiarly called "a dickey," and an enor-
nous spair of spurs. The trim in this
sfash;on would be light enough, no doubt,
for midsummer, but it might tend to the
exclusion of great many handsome fel
lows from Sydney Park. in Columbia
Broad street, in Augusta, and probably
the East Bay Battery and other prone

Practical Joking.

Joe and Commodore Rogers, brother
backsmilhs in Whitewater, Wisconsin,
have erea. reputation for being practical
jokers. Last sum nier Joe bought an old
fashioned dash churn, for the purpose of
manufacturing their own butter, and as the
Commodore was a widower, aud lived with
Joe, all such work naturally fell 20 him
One day, after supper, the first churning was
got ready, and The Commodore was invited
20 churn.
''HOld on, said he, "tiIl go down town
and get some terbacker"
He went, and while gone Joe did the
churaing, took oHl the butter, and leil the
butlermilk in The chnrn.
The Commodore returned. looked al The
churn, took off his coat, and said, "Well,
old churn, lis you aud |, aud here's for ye"
and commenced his labor. After churning
a couple OF hours, he said that he ';guessed
il would be cheaper TO buy butter than TO
make it, ~ think so too" says Joe, "iI
you are going 10 churn it out OF bait eTmilk.'
A few days after the churnins process,
Joe put one end OF small bar of iron into
his forge FIRE, and gave his bellows three or
four pumps, and stepped into the back shop
While gone, the Commodore heated the
iron TO black hsal, then changed ends with
it and stepped out OF the front door to watch
the progress.
In came Joe, took up The iron, hot droped
it inslanler, holding Up bis burned hand
and roaring win pam. "Pnt on some buI-
iermiIk, Joe-its good Tor burn - said
the Commodore as he made a mastery re-
treat amid shower OF miss les composed OF
hammers, hard coaf; aud old horse SHOES.
