Company By company they were march-
ed down the beach and deprived OF their
arms. Great praise is due Major Won
Schelling for the admirable peacefui
manner in which he conducted the ne
cessary disarming of these men; he only
showed force without using it. Under
less cool and able management, the affair
of last night would have resulted in
bloodshed. and it was absolutely neces-
sary to disarm the men who were disarm-
ed this morning, as they are to be ship
ped on the Meteor. 1t would have been
criminal to place armed men among the
rampant mutineers that were put on
board the Meteor last night.
ON BOARD THE METEOR.
Last night, the scene Is described by
tne officers on board to have been the
height of mutiny, the soldiers threaten
ing to shoot their officers if they were
taken any further Sonth. An armed
party ranged themselves about the wind
lass and swore TO shoot the men who
would attempt to weigh the anchor
The more daring among them advocated
the Imprisonment of their officers, and
taking charge of the ship. themselves. -
These men were all perfectly sober, and
allegs no reason for their sudden mutiny
but that they do not want to go to Texas.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon the disarmed
men were taken out TO the Meteor and
placed on board with the mutineers of
last night This outbreak will delay the
sailing of the second portion of the ex-
petition. If no further outbreaks occur,
efforts will be made to get off the remain
der of the Twenty-fifth Corps to-day.

An Act OF Royal Ciemency.
From the New York World


The Loyal League" theory of dealing
with traitors and rebels does not seem TO
be in much favor with the civilized world
at this time. The King Of Saxony has
most inconsderately selected the present
moment for the publication Of the follow
ing letter of amnesty and pardon to the
rebels of l349
Ny Dear Minister Of State Goa Behr:
When the goodness of God sends bless
ings to us, we feel ourselves doubly moved
to do good 10 our fellow-creatures, and to
exercise mercy toward them This sen
tiinent leads me to celebrate, by general
act of clemency, the great happiness
which God has recently given to me, my
family, and the whole country.
I had already, on several occasions,
granted pardon to the persons implicated
In the movements Of May, l549 Today
desire to extend this clemency 10 all /;
to permit free return to all who are
living in exile, and TO restore their civil
rights and honors TO those who were on
that occasion deprived Of them. I charge
you, accordingly, to lay before me, to
gether with the Ministers Of Justice and
the Interior, the measures necessary To
effect the result.
Yours affectiOnately, JOHS.
Dresden, May q, 1865.
The terms Of this royal letter are a. in.
teresting and instructive "a its substance.
It will be observed that this ruler by
right divine" has nothing to say Of the
"devilish crime Of treason :" that he con.
tents himself with describing one Of the
most savage episodes OF the popular rev
olutions of 1549 simply as the move
ments Of May" in that year. and that be
recognizes the obligation 10 mercy a. a
duty toward the Divine Giver Of good tc
men,
With such sentiments King John o.
SSaxony cOuld not be admitted into any
Loyal League" club in this happy land

fusion Of our times furnish upon the er
elamation Of Marc Antony:

After the colored troops had marched
through this double line the white troops

A story has been current here for some

that the Secretary of, War sent an order
to Major General Ord, commanding him
to arrest General Lee General Ord re-
fused, and stated as his reasons that he
considered General Lees parole rendered
his person sacred from military interior
ence. The reply was a premptory order
for the arrest, to which General Ord re-
sponded by rendering his resignationtT
At this juncture General Grant became
acquainted for the first time with the
procedure, when he instantly interfered
to prevent the outrage, lad the order OF
Mr. Stanton recalled and the resignation
of General Ord refused, all occasion for

The story is so generally told that L
suspect there is truth in it.
