NEW York, August Is.
The Herad's Richmond correspondent
says the President Of the United States,
accompanied by Hon. E. II. Stanton, it i5
confidently asserted, will visit Richmond
during the last weeks in August. The
main object of his visit viii be to attend a
council Of the lesding, officers Of this end
an adjacent Military Department IL refer
ence to the condition Of affairs in this sec
tion as affected by the policy Of President
johnson and the Secretary on this occasion
will be Msjor General Terry, MsjOr Gen
eral Turner, General Carliss SchOfeld,
General Howard of the Freedmen's Bureau
at Washington, General Hsnley, chief Of
Staff to the commanding General, and
othe-s. There can be but little doubt that
the final action On the grave issues Of State
policy, with reference to the attitude Of this
people growing out of recent anamIous SC
tions held in this city, viii be determined
on after the return Of the President and
Secretary to Washington.
1t is expected that one effect Of this
movement will be to materially PlanatA
tne approaching Congress which assemblies
in December, snd which, were it to Assem-.
bic now, would not prove very trsetable
on several issues Of national movements.
Governor Holden of North Carolina has
issued q second proclamation, dated at Rsl-
eigh the sth instant, appointing Tbursday,
the 2lst of September for sn election to ba
held throughout the Stste to choose l2O
delegates to convention which is to meet
at Raleigh on the I'd of October.
The Times special says that Writ, the
Andersonville prison keeper is 20 be put
on trisl to day. The charges against him
are willful msl-trestment Of prisoners, IL
juring their health and destroying their
lives, refusing proper shelter and food,
stealing their blsukets Sc, ordering rebel
soldiers to shoot them without 3 cause, and
causing them to be hunted by blood
hounds. Much surprise hss been occasioned
here that the Hon. a. Ely, of New York,
would sppssr as a witness for defendeuE.
Such is now sscertsined to be the fact.
The Times Washington special ssys 1t
is understood that the President has de-
termined to suspend the bestowal of par
dons for short time. An arrangement
will probably be made to transfer the Ia
Dor from the President 70 some of his sub
ordinstes. The application for amnesty
for the present month have proved mora
annoyance than any other thing brought
TO his notice.
The Herald's Washington special has the
following:
Capt. J. NJ. Moore telegrsphs from An
deFsonYille that he will be through with
the work of re intsring our soldiers who
died at the place during war by the latter
part of this week. Fourteen thousand
head boards are TO be set up.
As slight indication of esteem in which
many rebel general officers are now held
by their fellow-citizsns, whom they so long
and cruelty deluled, it may interest the
public TO know that Gen. Forrest cannot
return to his plsntstIon and old home on
the Mississippi with safety unless protected
by Federal bayOnets.
The Washington Ohronielessys that the
State Department has been informed that
Spain, hsving failed in her efforts 10 sub
jugste the Domincisns, now demand sn &C
knOwledgment from them that she went
there to take possession of the country st
the request of the people. The Domincisns
fatty refused to make so humilisting an
acknowledgment, and her coast ports have
been declared blockaded.
