NEW York, August 3l.-The Worlds
| special says: There is reason TO believe
| that in few days the President will
| issue an important proclamation of anu
nesty, supplemental TO that issued on
| the 18th of May, 1865. It will not pro-
claim universal amnesty, but will en-
large the fourteen classes named in that
| proclamation, Among the classes ex-
cepted by the latter, but which l am
assured will be included in tIe coming
proclamation, will be all persons who
shall have been military or naval of
ficers OF the pretended Confederate
| Government, VINO are below the rank
of Brigadier General in the army, or
| Captain in the navy; also all persons
who are, or shall have been, pretended
civil or diplomatic officers, or otherwise
domestic or foreign agents of the rebel
government; also those who have been
engaged in any way in treating other
wise than lawfully as prisoners of war,
persons found in the United States SER
vice as officers or soldiers, or in other
capacities. Other details are yet to be
arranged, which may delay the issu-
| huCt Ol lIlt 1SA at 1Gd6l n
week yet, but it is probable that it will
be decided to pardon all persons except
| high officials who may be en- bail for
trial, before or after conviction.
The cabinet today have had before
them the correspondence between Grant
and Sickles in relation to the lRtter's
| course in North Carolina, in interior
ing with the process issuing from
United States Court, and which event
ually led to Sickles' prompt removal by
the President. This record it was de-
cided to publish, and il will be given
out in Mondays papers. The cores
| pondence, however, with Grant, which
is spicy and interesting, will not be
made public at the same time, though
1t was read in to-day's cabinet meeting.
1t appears that from this that
when Gen. Sickles' military officers
prohibited the execution of the civil
process from the United States Court,
The United States District Attorney re-
ported the fact to the Attorney General
and General Grant was informed
of it. Believing at the same
time that he had the power to
annul or modify the orders from
military commanders, Gen. Grant tele-
graphed to Gen. SIckles to modify his
order No. 10, under which he and sub
ordiuates DISTRACTED the United States
| Court, and to obviate said distractions
| in future. Gen. Sickles replied Tolerant,
asking that the latter's order of super
vision might be held in allegiance, until
explanation arrived it appeared to be a
| plausible statement, showing that or
| der No. 10 protected the people
| from summary execution for debt,
and that IL gave great sntisfac'
| ton to the States of North and South
TELEGRAPH ed Sickles the important fact
that he withdraws his order to him to
| modify order No. 10, thus leaving the
| latter in force. AT this remarkable
stage of affairs the United States Mar
shall of North Carolina steps in and
again attempts TO serve the civil pro-
cess, but is resisted by Sickles, by Vir-
tue Of the continuance in full effect of
his order. These facts were reported
here, when the Executive directed
the U. S. District Attorney 10 procure
an indictment against one Daniel E.
Sickles for violation of the criminal
laws of the United States. General
Sickles hearing of this at once tele-
Craphed to General Grant in the spirit
OF fierce denunciation of the step, de-
ClaTing that he, rs commander OF a
military district created by an act OF
Congress, was not amenaole TO any
grand jury, or u. s. Marshal, or U. 3.
| District Attorney, and affirming that
he would answer no Indictment found
ed on that charge. It does not
appear, l believe, that General
Grant answered tnis, but it does
appear that the President of the
United States gave an order last Mon
day which removed Sickles, and thus
vindicated the judiciary of the Govern
meut and-secured the execution of a
process issued by the highest judicial
officer in the land. The full cores
pondence, of which the above Is an alb
stract, will probably be made public in
due time.
