ses- The Mobile Register puts at the
head of its columns the name of the rebel
commander in chief, Robert L. Lee, as a
candidate for President of the Uuited
States in the canvass of 1868, and remarks
that there is a concerted organization now
in progress to put forward "the model
hero of the confcderacy' as 1.-The State
Rights Democratic candidate in the next
campaign. We do not doubt it in the
least, and when the Democratic National
Convention shall meet in 1868, there can
hardly be a question that the eleven SUI
jugated States President Johnston is now
endeavoring to force into Congress will
make their appearance with delegates sol
idly supporting the nomination of Lee.
1t is worthy of observation that at the
present time many Of these same parties
at the south who are concerning their
plans to nominate Lee are lauding Presi-
dent johnson to the skies, and striving to
convey the impression that he is their
candidate for 1868.
sGy-Circuiars and letters have been sent
out FROM the War Department and Gen
Grants head quarters, to the Department
and the Division Commanders of the
South, in explanation of the Presidents
recent peace proclamation. They are in
formed that it does not discontinue mar
tial law, aud does not restore the privilege
of the writ Of haJeas corpus. 1t was also
stated to them that the troops are not to
be Withdrawn at present, that more will
be sent to any place they are needed, and
that the duties and prerogativcs Of the
military are not in any respect thereby
abridged.

which subjects the Civil! to Military Law?

THl FlNIASs.-On September 9th the
Attorney General Of the United States
directed the District Attorney at New
York to enter a nob prosequi in the case
Of the United States against the Fenian
President Roberts, against whom al in
dictmens for violating the neutrality laws
is now pending in that city. The Dis
trict Attorney has accordingly written q
letter to President Roberts counsel, stat
ing that at the next term Of the United
States Circuit Court, in October, . nole
prosequi will be entered. 1t appears to BE-
the policy Of the Government to abandon
all the prosecutions Of Fenians arising out
Of the late Canadian raids. Late ad-
visss from Ireland state that it has been
determined to test the legality Of the Fe-
man convictions in that country by writ
Of error, and the technicality to be taken
advantage of BY this writ is a curious one.
It 10 said that whilst the Fenians were
convicted Of the offenss known IS Urea
son-fslony," the crime really specified in
the indictments was high treason, and, by
proving this mistake, their friends hope to
procure their liberation. It is, however,
= very nice question, for il released on
"trsason-felony," England, with her su-
perior power, might at once convict them
Of high treason"

DEPARTURE OF EDWIN FoRRIsr.-Pub-

for no other purpose than to convert tht

N. C. Briggs, Esq, counsel for defendant
in an able argument, fortified by numer-

the contract wal void, from the fact that

TIE Extra BouNTIas.-Ths Secretary
Of War has issued q circular in which he
states that the delay in the payment Of the
extra bountiss has been caused, neither BY
the President nor the Secretary Of the
Treasury, but by the absolute necessity in
the Wa Department Of preparing proper
regulations under which to make the dis
bursemsnts. BE states that the officials
named have had nothing whatever to do
with the matter, but that the necessary
investigations Of General Canby's Military
Board have caused the delays both inIpay-
ing the extra bounties to the white troops
and to the colored troops. He estimates
the extra bountiss given the former at
$50, 600, 900, and those Of the latter at
900, 600, 900, and says the object Of the
Investigations OF the Military Board was
to devise regulations to protect the soldier
asains. the hosts OF swindlers always on
the lookout for his money. Several de-
cisions with regard to the extra bounty
have recently been made, among others.
that the widow of q soldier who married
again prior to July %, 1866, the date Of
the Bounty Act, is not entitled to the sx-
ira bounty. The question whether pen
sion and claim agents can collect these
oountiss has been referred to the Attorney
General, who has not yet given any
opinion.

place reliance. He does not regard the

to establish the future Of the district. A
large number Of the lodges contained tho
riches. quality Of rock near the surface,
but in sinking upon many Of them, the
wall rock closed in, and the lodges appa.
ren.ly pinchsd out. This feature Of the
Lodges is well known there, though little i.
said Of il to outsiders; but it has a ten
dsnoy to discourage the owners from
opening and exploring their mines. A
similar popularity exists In the quartz
mines Of Colorado Territory.

JOKE on THE GovsRNon.-Ths Oak
land (Cal.) Mstos is responsible for the fol.
lowing:
During the trip Of the Governor, on
Thursday, October 18th, he happened to
be seated in the carriage with F. K. Shat
tuck. Passing by an orchard, his Excel
lency remarked that in his youthful days
he was very much addicted to borrowing
apples without the owners consent, and
that he felt very much like making a raid
upon the tempting fruit just then in view.
WADE in" said Shattuck, and his Ex-
csllency waded," ramarking on his re-
turn to the carriage with a hatful Of
"Bellaowers," that the nincompoop who
owned the orchard would never miss
them, anyhow. 1t leaked out, during the
dinner at Blazs's in the afternoon that tho
"nincompoop' wal mont other than Shat
tuck himself. The Governor, like q
trump, agreed to stand treat provided the
party would let up on him about his
Jenny Twitcher adventure.
