The Amnesty Proclamation.

The proclamation of Amnesty which has
been for some time expected, is to-day pub
lished. 1t declares amnesty and pardon to all
who have participated directly or indirectly in
the rebellion-with certain eIceptions-re-
storing all rights of property except in slaves
snd in cases of confscation under the laws of
the United States, upon condition of swear
ing allegiance to the Constitution and the
Union, and support Of all laws and procla-
nations in reference to emancipation.
The persons excepted are all civil or dip
lomatic officers of the Confederacy all mill
tary officers above colonel, and all naval off,
GERS above lieutenant all who resigned
commissions in U. S. army or navy to aid the
rebellion, and all rebel graduates of West
Point or the Naval Academy all who left
judicial stations or seats IN Congress to join
the rebels all concerped in maltreatment of
prisoners all governors Of rebel States all
pirates and raiders all who left the United
States to aid the rebellion by going to the rebel
States or abroad all who are in custody of
.. S. officials for military or civil offences {,
all who have broken former amnesty oaths or
oaths of allegiance and all rebels whose
taxable property is over $4,000.
These exceptions seem TO cover very
large proportion Of the rebels, but it is also
announced that Executive clemency will he
literally extended to all who make special
application for pardon, as far as consistent
with facts and the peace and dignity of the
United States.
The exceptions made are eminently proper
ones. To the people of the South, ignorant
ly led into rebellion, free pardon is granted.
but to those who led them, none certain
ly not unless they Internationally submit
and beg for it. And to none, even if par
doned, will the United States restore any
right of property IN slaves or IN estates just
ly confscated nay, more, all pardoned
shall swear not only allegiance but support
of emancipation. Slavery is not hereafter
to be resuscItated and become again an occa-
sion of rebellion
Under this proclamation We may look to
SEE the people Of the Southern States return

TIE WRoSG ANINAL.-Grantly Berkeley
the English hunter, tells the following *
cruciating story Of Lady Uagcerton's scheme.
to charm the Regent Her ladyship had AZ
her residence miniature iarmyard. and
those pretty little Aldernev cattle. When
the prince and his friends had arrived. she
came forward from side wicket as a milk
maid, for the purpose Of making syllabub
for the prince. She had silver pail in one
hand and an ornamental stool IN the other.
Lady Haggerton trIpped along, with ribbons
flying from her dainty little milking hat
that hung IN one side of her graceful little
head, and the smallest little apron tied 6e-
low her laced schumacher. till she came ID
posite his royal highness, To whom she
dropped really graceful courtesy.
Then passing lightly over the beautiful
plated straw, her tucked up gown show .
her neat ankle, a. well as her colored stock
ings, she placed her stool and pail convent
ent for use. Leaning against the flank OF
one of the croesest looking OF the Alderneys.
she was attempting TO commence her rustic
iabors, but not having selected the right lex.
the offended animal did not seem TO fancy
the performance. for at first he kicked out.
and then trotted away, hearty uJscttiug
stool, paul. and Lady Hasgerston, who.
covered with confusion, made hssty TT
treat tor her dairy, whence she did not ap-
pear again.

BOARD or ALDERMEN.
present-Alderanen Appleton, BlOdgett,
Barnes, Dodge, Tan. and Underwood.
The tbllOwing resolution was introduced BY
AID. Dodge, and passed ..., .-
Whereas it is deemed desirable to remove the
water now standing upon the premises OF {.
Haynes on College street, ana prevent 1t from
coliectire ,hsre 10 future; and whereas the sad
Haynes has consented to have it done in the fol-
lowing manner, therefore,
Resolred, That the Street Commissioners be
instructed to open a ditch through the embank-
ment between the water and the railroad bed
and draw the water down to = level with the
woodwork upon which the stones were laid in
constructing the railroad bridge; then to remove
a portion Of said embankmentto the land Of said
Haynes to establish a grade slOping eastward,
sufficient to preveat any water from standing
upon the surface Of said Haynes land, and that
the basement o. the large building upon said
premises be cleared Of It's flooring and timbers
under the AoOr, and be filed with sand to lev
Ell with the grade upon the outside Of said base
ment
1t is understood that in carrying out this ar
rangement with the said Haynes his claim Tor
damages sgaiust the Town Of Burlington IS not
to be impaired thereby.
On motion of Aid. Tan, the Mayor was au-
thorized TO draw warrants on the City Treasurer
for THE bull Of Williams & Rand (s152 4Ol, for
painting the roof and dome of the City Hall, and
the bill of G. H. Bigelow (slll $50, for print

The state Officers.

Candidates multiply for the Lieutenant
Governorship In addition to the FIVE or sil
names before mentioned, a correspondent Of
Walton's Journal urges the claim of Add
son County, and suggests Hon. JoHN I.
STEWART, of Middlebury, as a most suitable
candidate BY reason Of his acknowledged
ability and popularity In his district. The
Times also brings out the name of Hon. L.
B. EseLEsBY of this place. as a suitable NOM
inee. Mr.. Englcsby is a gentleman of re-
sEectable ability, and considerable legislative
experitnce, but 1t will be inevitably urged
against him as o candidate for this nominal
tim that it is but three years since BuIling-
ton had the Lieutenant Governor. However
agreeable it might be to see fellow towns
man again nominated, We can find little
ground to expect such selection by the
State at this time. We rec nothing as yet
to change our expressed opinion that Mr..
Gardner of Bennington, will be the nominee
for tho second place on the ticket.
In case Treasurer Page should disallow
the use Of his name, which we think will DOT
be the case, IS. M. Waite of Brsttleboro, and
j. T. Thursion Of Montpelier, are suggested
for Treasurer, by friends in their respective
localities

A proclamation has been issued by the
Presiden; declaring that. in obedience to the
requirement of the Constitution that a re-
publican form of government should be guar
anteed to every State, he appoints William
W. Holden provisional Governor of the State
of North Carolina. and requires him to call
a convention of loyal men to alter or amend
the constitution Of that State, giving him
authority TO exercise all powers necessary to
restore the State to Its constitutional rela-
tons with the United States. The quali6-
cations of each elector of delegates TO such
convention, are that be be voter according
TO the laws Of North Carolina IN force i'm
medistely before May 20, 1861, and have
subscribed TO the oath prescribed in the
Presidents Amnesty Proclamation. The
military commander of the Department is
ordered to give all bis assistance to the Pro-
visional Governor 10 carrying into effect this
proclamation.
The Heads of Department, at Washington
are further ordered to put IN force all lave
of the United States, whose execution falls
within their respective departments, within
the limits Of the State.
The New York COMMERCIAL special Gays
that the proclamation for the reorganization
of North Carolina, is regarded as definitely
excluding negroes from suffrage IN Southern
States and as delegatIng the matter to the
people.

The DAY Of National Mourning.

We are sorry that no arrangement wa.
perfected for a concerted observance by
our citizens, meeting In one place of the day
of humiliation and mourning appointed BY
the President. An effort was made to secure
such celebration, and an invitation was e1-
tended by Mayor Catlin. to Hon. A. o. Al
dis, ana on his declining, to Judge Poland,
of the Supreme Court, ~ address our cti-
Iens upon the occasion. Both these gentle
men, however. declined, and it was then too
late to secure an orator from abroad The
day was accordingly observed by apprO-
pirate exercises in the several churches.

Stanton and Sherman.

General Sherman seems likely to furnish
another illustration of the truth that man
may bea great general and yesa great fool. He
Is, it is evident, preparing TO go before the
people on an issue with Mr. Stanton upon
the merits of his remarkable military con-
vention." A letter from him is published
wherein be ddres the Secretary to publish his
report of that affair. lie publicly insulted
the Secretary on the day of the great parade.
He has begun to speak to crowds, and clearly
shows that he suppOses be can get up fight
with the Secretary IN which he can win
Of e,ur-e in all this he is fully sustained

IhaI IL lie ''sll tight" and on the straight
road 10 be democratic president the next
time round.
Now it is great misfortune that General
Sherman has not some lricnd near him who
is able 10 show MIN the folly of such an at
tempt, and the certain result if it Is persisted
in.
Sherman Is great general. BE has play
ed great part In this war. He has in the
estimation of the people taken position
second only to Grant; but his position is that
of q military commander vnder Grant and
under the President; and when he undertook
to step out of his position, as he unques-
tionably did in making the convention" of
which be is 30 proud, he made mistake, and
Q mistake of such a character, that if it had
been committed in any other period of the
war. it would have cost him all the favor of
the people, and would have placed him in
the inglorious list of the McClellans and the |
Buells.
The general thinks it was not mis-
take, and insinuates that his convention
would have made peace, which Estate
