President Johnson has issued Prociama-
ton, this morning published, offering rewards
lor certain accessories to the murder OF thelate
President. These are Jefferson Davis late OF
Richmond Jacob Thompson Clement c. Clay,
Beverley Tucker, George N. Sanders, VIM. {.
Ciearv. and other Rebels and traitors against
the Government of the United States, now
barbored in Canada. For the arrest of Davis
the reward offered is one hundred thousand dol
lars; for Thompson, Clay, Tucker and
Sanders, twenty-five thousand dollars each;
and for Cleary, ten thousand dollars.
The Provost-Marshal of the United
States is ordered to cause a description OF
these fugitive criminals to be published, who
must be arrested within the limits of the United
States so that they may be brought to justice.

Abraham Lincoln, and the attempted assaSslna'

that the rewards are offered for the arrest OF
these men. not as traitors or Rebels, but as ac'

Since the capture Of Jerusalem by Titus, there
has been no such utter ruin. IL many places, n
dumb stupor appears to have full sway over
what are left Of the Whites, SO that they seem
TO have no thought and no care for the future
OF course, there is much bitterness and
yengefnl hate still cherished by the dupes OF
Secession; many believing that the North made
|causeless war on the South and crushed it by
brute strength in the wantonncss Of conscious
power But, though hate remains. and may
|impel to isolated acts of crime, there is no
thought Of further warfare. The subjugaton is
felt TO be complete.
The Government will soon, We trust, be ready
to speak comforting reassuring words to the
great body Of the Southern people; but mean

Of guerrillas and Of reinstatement, desert the
plantations and rush into the idle furnishing
cities, leaving tillage uninterrupted; for the
Whites have little force, less heart, small apti-
tude for labor, and are destitute of seed, mple-
ments, animals-in short, everything. And
there is great danger that the season of vegeta-

to the horrors Of actual famine.
