states until the distress occasiored by the war Is

on the necessity Of proceeding at once to make the
South pay the full share Of the national eebt and
expenses OF carrying on the Government, now
asks the attention Of rejecting men to the OBJ
stacles which seem TO interfere with this policy
and which we should strive TO overcome, as well
for our own sake as for that Of our common cOun'
try" Our contemporary assists in the examina'
ton by specifying some of these obstacles sueh
as the suspense in which the title to all LANDED

THE " so OOO CLAUSE. -

The Washington correspondent of the Phila.
delphia " Ledger" writes on the I'd inst
A petition numerOusly signed, is said TO have
been received here praying the President 10 re-
woke the 18Th section of his Amnesty Proclama-
ion, which excludes from the benefits of the
same all those engaged in the rebellion whose
taxable property exceeded S20OOO. You may
rely upon il, however, that the President will do
nothing Of the kind. Such parties if they feel
aggrieyed, have the privilege Of making special
application for pardon, and if they cannot con.
descend 10 perform so trivial an act they must
take the consequences.
The excluding Of those who have already taken
the amnesty oaths Of the late President from the
benefits of the new amnesty, is another matter,
and does not meet with general acquiescence in
is Justice. These parties, when they subscribed
TO the Proclamations Of Mr.. Lincoln, did so un.
der the assurance of the fullest protection OF the
Government, and it is difficult TO see how they
can now be placed under the head of unpar-
doned rebels"
Letters have been received from old residents
in the south, which are Of the most depressing
character. There is literally no available money
there, nearly everything in the shape Of funds,
and even corporate property, to use phrase in
one OF the letters, locked up in the Confede.
