= sGEH. NJ W. TGAaY.-We learn from the
Charleston Courier, that. Gen. Gary has been
released on parole. The: Columbia correspond.
ent Of the Yorkville En1uirer, announces for
the qualification of the Generals numerous
friends. that his. defence promises to be an easy
matter, and anticipates for him an early and
easy acquittal from the charge. The Edgefeld
Advertiser makes the following announcement
of still further arrests:
"In our last issue we enumerated the names
of number of gentlemen of our town and
District, who had been arrested by order of
lsUnited States Military authorities. Since
then, others have beeu arrested:-Mr. JAS M.
| Lapbam, Mr. J. H. Blense. Mr.. NJ. Lowry and
Mr.. David Padgett. OF these, the first three
have been taken to Columbia: Mr. Pndgett is
still under arrest in Edgeield. We hear from
Columbia that Ger Gary and s. B. Griffin,
Esq, are charged or will be charged. with com.
plicity in the shooting of Federal eo' ". in
Edgefield some four weeks back. At i'st nc
count, Griffin was about 10 be released on pa
role; not, however, to depart from Columbia.
1t was thought the same thing would be done
in case of Gen. Gary. Certainly these two
to their homes and their business; for as true
as God j, in Heaven, just SO true is 1t that
neither of them was directly or indirectly con-
cerned in the before mentioned affray.
We hear further, that the remaining gentle.
men. Major Coleman, Jesse Gomilion, Esq, Mr.
Emsley Lott, Jnlius Day, Esq, and young Her.
long, are kept under arrest in the baserlent Of
the College Chapel. Most Of these, if we mis-.
take not, are charged with ha,boring, aiding
and abetting the "bushwhackers" or the
homeless and lawless men who are said to
have been committing outrages in certain sec
tions Of our District. 1t is probable that these
gentlemen will be tried Ly Military Commits
oi1 otup I'm fI,pn,
they moy have been duped and imposed upon;
but that such citizens as Major Coleman, MIR.
Julius Day, Mr.. Jesse GomiiIion, &c-gentle-
men whose characters IRE scaled and stamped
BY fifty years of unsulied truth, honor and
honeetY-should Willingly and willingly have
had anything to do with these so.called bush.

unlawful doings generally, is thing which
their fellow-ctizens will not be convinced OF,

THE PEACE PRocLAMATIog.

We publish elsewhere in our columns the
peace proclamation WHICH is the more welcome
from the fact that it.has 20 long been looked
for. 1t affords another proof of the wise and
conservative pcIcy of the administration, and
we acceR:.;t as q step to the full restoration
of our civil and political rights in the Union.
The immediate and important result of the
proclamation.i is the restoration of the writ OF
habeas corpus, which protects. the person of The
citizen from illegal confinement The author.
ity to suspend the writ is conferred by the Fed
eral Constitution "when in cases Of rebellion
or invasion the public safety may require it,
and the power was exercised ~ the President

in pursuance of the Act of Congress of Sd
of March, 1868, which authorised the Pres.
