one of these that have heard is. That President
Johnson had issued Proclamation ordering all
negroes to be restored TO their former masters
OF course there is no foundation in truth for such
reports. The authorities Insist that the negroes
shall be ind lstrieus and work, but they will never
be restored to their former owners as property

BAREFACED FAIaEHOODs.-A correspondent

PARTIES arriving here from different parts of
the State say that there is great change in the

piete Submission aud good intentions to the Gov
eminent for the first few weeks after the collapse
of the rebellion, challenged the admiration of all
loyal men; but since the wholesale display of
clemency to the rebel leaders of wealth and infu-
ence this treacherous and arrogant class have
poisoned the minds of these soldiers against the
Union, and are now organizing them for politi
cal conflict with the government, and war
against the L nion men and negroes. They have
everything their way in designating the dees
gates to the convention. Unless the government
nterferes and excludes these leaders from partici
patng in this body, the true Union men will have
nothing to do with its deliberations, which they
claim will result in farce, and ruin all who
associated with it,
