STOWE, May 9th, 1865.
Gntiemen:
Your communication inviting me to at
tend the meeting appointed in Hyde Park
for the observance of the National Fast
on the first day of June next, is received
1t would accord with my feelings to
join my heart and voice with yours, to
honor the memory of that wise and good
man whose loss our country mourns and
whose name will never be forgotten. Es-
pecially, if l could be with you, would l
join most devoutly with those who, in &C
cordance with the proclamation appoint
ing the fast, humble themselves before
Almighty God 10 order that our bercave-
ment may be sanctiied to the nation.
But the duty which owe to the people of
this place, will probably require me to
remain here on that occasion.
Trusting that the services to which you
are pleased to invite me may be profitable
to those who are privileged to be present,
awakening in their minds, if possible,
more sincere and ardent devotion to our
country, and leading them to emulate the
virtues of him whose loss we so deeply
lament, am yours very respectfully,
JAS. I. FORD.

him also to be a martyr. like the great
prince already named, to religious free
dom.
! see by your programme that Lieut.
Col. Benton is to pronounce on that day a
eulogy on our Great Lincoln. In select
ing him, gentlemen, you have made choice
of one, who by his natural and acquired
endowments. will assuredly meet the oc-
casion. Mr. B. is, in my Judgment, a
very able man and but few things would
give me more pleasure than to listen to
his discourse; but the designs of the
Proclamation that each people should
worship on that day in their accustomed
places will keep me at home am truly
thankful for your courtesy and subscribe
myself atfectionately yours.

time He had laid His hand heavily up
on it.
The meeting was largely attended by
an impressive and an appreciative audi
ence.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald says Secretary Nc
Culloch, in conversation with promi-
ncnt politician a few days since, stated
that the government was now ready to re-
sumo specie payment; that its finances
were in condition to enable it to adopt
that course. The only thing that pre-
vented immediate adoption of that plan
was the injury it would do to the bust
ness interests of the country. The indi-
cations are that return to specie pay
ments would be made before many months.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE PRESIDENTS AMNEs-
TY.-- Much curiosity has been felt as to
the proba able number of those who will
come under the fourteen exceptions to the
general amnesty proclaimed by President
johnson, so that their chances of escape
from punishment will depend wholly upon
the personal pardon of the Executive.
The New York World estimates the diff
ferent classes of these excepted rebels as
follows:
Persons above the rank of colonel 400
Raiders from Canada, 1000
Privateesmen, 3 500
Volunt'r rebs worth over $4,000, 60 900
Foreign agents of rebel government, 200
Rebel naval officers, 100
Disloyal jurists, so
Seeding Congressman, l49
Old army officers, l56
Persons who have maltreated prison
ers, 300
Governors Of rebel States, ii
Northern men in rebel States, 40 O
Soldiers in rebel army from border
States not seeded, $4,000
In Northern prisons at the current
time $4,000
Those who have taken the oath and
broken it, 10000
The total exceptions will come under
two hundred thousand men, and may moi
reach hundred and fifty thousand
