very strange doubt OF nisconceptioa exists in
regard to the effect of the Presidents pardon upon
the property rights of the party pardoned. The
language OF the proclamation seems to be as cx-
'To the end, therefore, that the authority of the
Government OF the United States mag be restored
and that peace, order and freedom may be estab-
States, do proclaim and declare that thereby grant
to all persons who have, directly or Indirectly par
tcipatcd in the existing rebellion, except az here
ration of aM rights Of property, except as to
slaves and except in where legal proceedings
under the laws Of the United States providing for
bellion have been instituted; but upon tho cond-
tion, nevertheless, that every such person shall
take and subscribe the following oath" &c.
This Is the general pardon which tens of thou-
sands have taken. The following is the tenor of
the special pardons, granted in conformity with
the same proclamation, under the list of cxcep-
tions, viz
That l. Andrew johnson. President of the United
States of America in consideration of promises d.
tn 5 sas 5
don and amnesty for all offences by him committed
rs0% implied in the sad
begin and take effect from the day on which the said
the ay e. aaS to Se
and of no effect If the said - shall hereafter, at
ms S ayoT ops o Ia I %
vhich mar hare accrued in any proceedings hitherto insti-
trfed dJainst MS person or property. H.-.pa .a
These pardons, special and general are granted
in conformity with clause OF tho Confscation Act
ITSELF approved July II, 1862, ana entitled can Act
to suppress insurrection, to punish treason and
rebellion, to seize and contiscate the property of
rebels, and for other purposes" The clause is as
follows: f.-
SEC. l3. And be ii further enacted, That the President
is hereby authorized at any time hereafter by proca-
nation to extend to persons may have participated
In the existing rebellion, in State part thereof
pardon and amnesty, with such exceptions and such
time and on such conditions he may deem cxpcdent
for the public welfare
1t thus appears that the President has the au-
thority Of Congress for granting amnesty and par
mitted during the late rebellion and that he has
exercised the power thus conferred by restoring
all property rights to the parties, even where legal
proceedings had been instituted but not consum-
m ated. = .-. ".

Prospects of Charleston.

Previous to the evacuation the general business
OF the city could have been put down as only tri-
fling, for though there Was an appearance of bus
tie, of transportation of merchandise traffic and
other matters that denote mercantile occupation
it really did not exist to any extent. Trade was
confined to but few goods and the buyers and sell
lers were not many. Prices, also we're so extraor-
binary that the could not or would not enter
into business purchasers. True the currency yas
confederate money, bnt such depreciation as some
6ae'c must occur never entered into the heads of
the crowd, and they rather dispensed with articles
OF real necessity than expcnd a large amount (as
II seemed to them) for things so small but wanted
The laboring classes also very much restrict
cd IN their expenditures, they suffering, rs they
always do, by wages, and thus considerable
traffic that exists through them was cut Off So
that this apparent activity was confined but to
spectators and shurpers and the drays rolling by
with boxes and bales of merchandise were only
removing them from ono government department
to another. Distress roamed throughout the COM
munity, and had it not been for the charitable con-
sidcration OF tho City Council ably assisted by in
dlvldua donors, starvation would have stalkcd into
our houses
In Six short months what O change has taken
place! and, although the trade of Charleston Mt
this time has just revived enough to show that life
exists, our stores aro filling up with goods, and
our people arc preparing for busy winter season.
Buildings are being finished and new firms taking
possession; old establishments arc being made
more. roomy in their accommodations for stock
while steamers md sailing vessels are pouring into
our city immense cargoes Of every variety of
goods, ready to be transferred to their shelves.
Labor is abundant and wages good, so that the
greatest satisfaction exists among the working
classes; and, on tho whole, we look forward to a
return OF times that once blessed our good old city
and her children, with the hope that they may
speedily return to her, and that she may soon be
able to extend kindly hand not only to her sons
whom she has raised, but to those who have lately
come and determined to abide with her " in veal
