New Y ORR June pa special to the
Herald gfronk Washington says Prepara-
tions have commenced for mastering out
| between 10000 and $4,000 troops from the
armies of Gems. Meade, Hancock and Logan.
About 1S;0O0of these effeetives whose terms
of service first expire, will bemustered out
| from the Army of the Potomac by regi-
mental organizations. All absentees be-
longing to such regiments will be in addi-
ton to this number, and may swell it to
26O0O. Hancock's veteran command will
be reduced seven thousand. The Army of
the Tennessee will lose fully $1,000.
Gen. Grant and part OF, his staff, left here
this evening by special car for Philadelphia,
and expect to be absent two or three days.
The Generals report will not be completed
as early as stated, and is not likely to be
delivered to the War Department until
near the commencement of the next Con-
gresslohal session, unless specially called
tor by some exigency. w 10 ''lHH
There will probably be some considerable
delay in the appointment of a Provisional
Governor of South Carolina. The delega-
tion here do not all represent the Unionsts
Of the State, the few there are to represent
One who aims to be the Governor had de-
clared in Charleston that he wished the
Yankees had but one throat, that he might
burn his house rather than damned Yam
kee should pollute it with his presence, and
so on, through the entire list. 1t is likely,
therefore, that South Carolina will be suf-
fered to lie out in the cold for the present
/ DIR, A. q. Mackey, the newly appointed
Collector at Charleston, has returned to the
city after his visit to West Point, and is
showing up the South Carolina delegation
in vivid colors. He charges that the men
composing the delegation now here were
original secessiohhts. They admit it to
be true and attempt no concealment. Col.
Yates, of the delegation, entered Fort Sum-
ter Immediately after its evacuation by
Major Anderson, and remained. in the rebel
military service till the surrender of Joe
Johnston. Others of the delegation voted
and acted as consistent secessionists
throughout, and they are now here ac-
knowledging themselves defeated and sub
jugated. They ask nothing but pardon and
early action in appointing civil officers.
The State Is at present without law. Its
citizens are completely humbled, and q
fearful proportion of them are literally des-
titute of all means of support, and are
starving. AL manner OF lawessness and
crime is alarmingly on the Increase, and the
only hope for public and private virtue is
admitted to'lie, in the protection of Federal
law. The names OF eX-Congressman Wm.'
Boyce and Mr.. McIlliley are among those
submitted by the delegation as certain to
give entire satisfaction to the State, al
though they disclaim all desire to influence
the Presidents appointment. 1t can be said
in Mr.. Boyce's favor that he disagreed with
a majority of South Carolinians, and de-
clared for peace year ago. Mr.. McIlliley
voted against secession in the outset, and,
like Gov. Aiken, held aloof throughout the
war. There is evidently very little sympa-
thy between these delegates and MIR.
Mackey, whose loyalty is accepted by. the
North withoutquestioh. The delegation is
to have another hearing Saturday.
Jas. N. Smith, of Selma, has been ap-
pointed U. S. District Attorney for that
State.
Hen. Richard Busted, of New York, was
appointed Judge of the U. S. District
Court of Alabama by Mr.. Lincoln nearly a
year ago, and is expected to assume the du-
ties of his office at once. ...
The case of Henry G. Burnett, of Ky,
has been under consideration, but no con-
clusion arrived at. He will probably be
sent to his own State and tried for treason.
