in less than five weeks from the ASSEM-

discussion. There was II strong feeling
in favor of naming their Southern cS.

lions to insert in tho preamble of the
constitution ii recognition of the liVin-
ity of both the Old and New Testn-
ments of the Bible, and in the body

The COmmissary General of Prison
ers received information yesterday that
the last of the rebel prisoners at Point
Lookout were set ut liberty on, Friday
last. We have now no rebel prisoners
under the rank of Colonel, except u
few hospital cases.
A specini to the Herald from Wash
ingtOn of July I'd, says the health oil
the President was generally understood
! TO be improving, but inquiries nt the
White House this evening elected the
| fact that it is now worse than mt any
! former period of his present illness,
though not in immediate danger. His
continued illness and present unfnVor-
able symptoms awaken anxious ROlici-
ttude among the few who are inform
ed of his real condition. This was;
further increased by the report Tonight
that Surgeon General Barnes had been
i called in to consult with DIR. Burroughs
who has thus far been his medical ut.
tendant.
