The bogus petroleum and mining companies In this

which has recently been introduced in the Legislature,
making it Illegal for any corporation to declare or pay
dividends from any other than tho actual earn

tons Is intended to reach TO cyade its provisions II
Is easy enough for OF them to sufficient 10 de-
clarea dYidoni upon instead Of applying the amount
earned towards defrsying the wording expenses. The
first section OF the bill should have the word nct' in
serted when 1t would read as follows
Section1 II shall bo lawful Tor any petroleum. oil

The tribes now living in Kansas arg to

The Indians now here say they under
stand they were called to meet the late
rebel tribes and renew friendly relations

and unauthorized to do. But few OF the
loyal tribes are now here, but others are
expected soon.

JIr. Johuson's speech.

The speech of President JOHNSON to
delegation OF Southerners, which comes
I, us by telegraph this morning. will do
luuch to raise him IN the estimation OF
the Southern people and promote their
returning loyalty to the Government OF
the United States The very kind and
conciliatory language he employs will
probably increase the discomfort OF the
RI licals and widen the breach which al
ready exists between bim and them. His
reference to speeches breathing dit
.erent spirit from his own, applies SO
loosely to the late prOaanciame"to Of
THApDEps STEVENS that We are con-
strained to believe that he had that ex-
preston of malignity in his mind. We
will speak more fully OF Mr.. JoHNsoNs

Legion Of 10000 Men-Attemps to
Raise n Loan-Capture Of the Juarez
Capital Confirmed.


GBy Union Line, cor. Monroe and Water Sts.l
New YORK, Sept 12.-The Tribune's
Matamoras correspondent says the aid
wanted by the chiefs of the Liberal par
ty is legion estra.i4of;l OF about 10000
men, in order to force all leaders to obey
the regular Generals, and To take and
hold some point as centre of union. In
nv conversations with Trenino, Dr. Leon
and others, they dwell upon those two
points. The Liberal forces are now split
up in small bodies, each op Grating in a
State of two or more. As those bodies
unite. French force is sent against
them, and owing to the quality of the
latter the result of nearly9very fight is
in their favor A column of 10000 men
entering this country now would find the
Imperial forces in snail bodies all over a
vast extent OF territory and would be
able to beat these bodies in detail and
drive them in great haste from the point
they hold, with loss OF war material
To raise a legion OF 10000 men oua
inillion dollars Is necessary to begin With
and this is great want at present If thii
sum could be raised there would Id,
means to arm, clothe and feed the legio1

with the rebellion to sell any of the
thousands of acres of timber land within

in building by enterprising persons.
1t is proposed that mass meetings be
held at Newbern, Beaufort and Whining
