fdsutly asserted they viii visit Richmond

ell of the leading General officers Of this

as effected by the pslicy Of President John
IN to the condition of affair in this section
sons administration.
Among the distinguished officers who
viii meet the President and Secretary

Gen. sehofeld, Maj. Gen. Howard, Of the
Fresdman's Bureau at Washington, Gen. J.

ing General, and others.
There can be but little doubt that the
final action upon the grave issues Of STATE
policy with reference 10 the attitude Of these
people, growing out Of the recent anoma-
lOus election held in this city, will be deter
mined upon after the return Of the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Stanton to Washington. Il is
expected that one effect Of this movement
win be to msterially place the spproaching
Congress, which assemblies in December,
and which were it to assemble now would
not prove very tractable, upon several
issues of national movements.

sued second proclamation, dated ct Raj

their health and destroying their lives, re-
fusing proper shelter and necessary fOod,
stealing their blankets and camp equip
ments, ordering released soldiers 10 kill
them without cause and caasing them TO be
hunted and killed by blood -hounds. Much
surprise has been Occasioned here by the
report that Hon. Alfred Ely, of New York,
would appear as a witness for the defense
in the Vert trial. Such is now ascertained
TO be the fact.
The Times Washington special says it Is
understood that the President has deter
mined 10 suspend the bestoWal Of pardon for

bly, be made TO transfer the labor from he.
Executive to some one Of bis subordiuatss.
