blockade of certain ports Of rebellious states
was established; but
WHEREAS, The reasons for that measure
have ceased to exist, therefore, be it known,

aforesaid rescinded as to the ports west OF the
Mississippi river, which ports will be open 10
foreign commerce on the LIST of July next, on
the terms set forth in my proclamation on the
22d of May last. 1t is to be understood, how
ever, that the blockade rescinded was to be an
international measure, for the purpose OF
proclaiming the sovereign right OF the Onned
States. The greater or less subversion OF the
civil authority in the region to which it appli-
ed, and the impraeticability of OF once restor'
ing that in due efficiency may for season
make it advisable to employ the army and navy
of the United States towards carrying the law
into effect.
In testimony whereof have Eereunto set

Confession Of AtZerOth

WASHINGTON, June 21.-This afternoon At
zeroths counsel presented full confession OF
the prisoner. Mr.. Doster said the prisoner
Atzeroth submitted the following statement TO
the Court:
lam one of a party who agreed to capture
the President of the United States. but am
not one of party to kill the President, or any
member of the Cabinet, or General Grant, or
Vice President johnson. The first plot, 10
capture, failed. The second, to kill, broke
away from the moment heard OF it. This Is
the way it came about:
On the evening of the 14th OF April met
Booth and Payne at the Hamden House, in
this city, at O'Clock. Booth said he himself
would take Lincoln and Grant, Payne should
take Seward, and / should take johnson.
told him would not do it; that had gone
into the thing to capture, but was not going
to kill. He told me l was fool; that would
be hung anyhow, and that it was death for ev-
ery man that backs out. So We parted. /
wandered about the streets until two in the
morning, and then went to the Kimmel House,
and from there, having pawned my pistol at
Georgetown, went to my cousins house in
Montgomery county. l was arrested on the
10th following. y. AlAEholh'

The correctness OF the statement re-
specting the performance of the COW

for to us by an officer of the highest re-
spectability:

SIRs: Brevet Maj. Gen. j. D. Morgan pre-
septed Dune II, 1865, } to the Soldiers Home,
a cow for the use of the institution. She has
belonged to the Generals mess since Sherman S
army left Atlanta, and went through all of Gen.
Sherman's marches from Atlanta to Savannah,
from that place through the Carolinas to Colds
boro. N. c., and from there through Raleigh
via Richmond to this city. During all these
marches she gave gallon of milk per day.
Below give the number of miles travelled,
as follows:
From Savannah to Goldsboro', N. e., Al
From Goldsboro' to Cape Fear River, 81
miles.
From Cape Fear River to Washington, via
