Safeguards for Pardon.
The following circular letter Of the
Acknowledgement is issued to the
several Provisional Governors Of the
Southern States:
After consultation with the Pres;.
dent, l desire to call your attention to-
and ask your cooperation, in cases
arising under the proclamation of am
nesty and pardon of May 20. While
the administration desires to make the
operation Of that instrument as gene.
raj as possible, it is obvious that great
dangers are to be apprehended from q
loose or indiscrimiuate exercise Of
clemency. In order, therefore, to
protect your State and the General
Government from the evils resulting
from such use of the Presidents
pardoning power, I desire to refer to
you hereafter, the applications for
pardon, made in pursuance of that
proclamation, by citizens of your
State, in relation to which this de-
partment lacks IL irformation, and to ask
from you a report in each case as to
the propriety of granting the clemency
invoked. The special points on which
information is desired are: First, is
the petitioner, from such information
as you can obtain, likely to be
peaceful and useful citizen in the
tuture2 Second, have any proceedings
beea instituted against his property
under the con6scation act7 Third, is
any property belonging to him now
in possession Of the United States
authorities as abandoned property or
otherwise?
In cases where reference is made to
you, all the papers ON file in this Office
will be sent to you for your informa-
:ion, and it is earnestly desired that
you will give them a prompt and
careful attention, and return them
with your report. The President
desired these cases referred to you for
two objects: First, to do away as far
as may be possible with any risk of
granting pardons to disloyal Or other
wise improper persons, and especially
to such persons as from previous con.
duct and character are not to be trust
ed with the control of that class which
has been happily converted, ty rebel.
lion and war, from slavery to freedom,
thand to which Government looks
in the not far distant future for sup
port, and from intelligent and loyal
citizens. Second, the President de.
sires to strengthen your hands in the
organization Of society in your
State by every means consti,utionally
belonging to him. To you primarily,
he. looks for the support of law and
order in your State, and for the insti>
tuition of such measures as will, at the
earliest day possible, place her in pro.
per relations with the Federal Union,
and thus restore her to all the bless
ings Of Government which we
proudly think to be as strong as it is
merciful. The United States District
Attorneys are instructed TO render
euch assistance as may be necessary in
the matter.

The interior OF Georgia.

The Cincinnati Gq=etc'S correspondent thus
describes the country traverscd by the left wing
Of Sherman army, in the recent movement:

there are few towns on the whole route that viii

brick stores. and quite a number of handsome
residences. The plantations around the town
show evidences of wealth and Southern taste.

had seen any where in the South. Four build

because Union soldiers had been confined there.

ern inqui-itiOn were brought out. There were
leathern thongs and paddle bored full OF holes,
chains, staples, iron-collars and handouts. all
showing marks Of frequent use. Every place OF
any considerable size in the South has "a public
institution of this kind, and many were destroyed
on the line Of march. IL NAV have been sacrilc-

itself would be voted execrable for a State Capt.

With the exception Of the towns mentioned,
few deserve the name. Few had any buildings

credltable 70 u community.
Throughout the entire march. as IN other por-
lions Of the South, brick buildings are the rare
exceptions. The hotels are miserable, the court
houses and jails old and hideous, and an air of
shiltlessness j. thrown over all things. Even the
little elegance that does exist is blasted and mar
red by the whitening influence Of the great curse.
Nothing has escaped the blight, and the South
which has been crossed over now by our army,
everywhere presents the appearance Of corruption
and decay. The country has been developed up
to the capacity of slave labor, no lapse Of time
could better its condition were the same elements

q century ago, and that since that time the noise
Of hammer, axe and saw had not been heard.
