THE PRESIDENTS AMNESTY
PROCLAMATION.

Whereas, in the month of July
Ammo Domini, 1861, in accepting
the condition of civil war, which
was brought about by insurrectior
and REBELLION in several ofthe States
which constitute the United States
the two Houses of Congress did sol.
cmnly declare that the war was not
waged on the part of the Govern
ment in any spirit of oppression,
nor for any of overthrowing or in
tcrfcring with the rights or estab
lished institutions Of the rights or
established institions of the States,
but only to defend and maintain the
supremacy of the Constition of the
United States, and to preserve the
Union with all the dignity, cquali-
ty and rights Of the several States
unimparcd, and that SO soon as
these objects should be accomplished,
the war on the part of the Govern
ment should cease; and
Whereas, the President of the
United States has heretofore, in the
spirit of that declaration, and the
view of securing for it ultimate and
complete effect, set forth several
proclamations offering amnesty and
pardon to persons who had been or
were concerned in the aforesaid re-
bellion, which proclamations, how
ever, were attended with prudential
reservations and exceptions then
deemed necessary and proper, and
which proclamations were respect
lively issued on the 9Th day of De-
December, 1868; on the 2Gth day of
March, 1864; on the 29th day of
March, 1865; and on the 9TH day of
September, 1867; and
Whereas, The said lamentable civ
il war has long since altogether ceas-
ed, with an acknowledgment by all
the States of the supremacy of the
Federal Constition, and the govern
ment Hereunder; and there no lon
ger exists any reasonable ground to
apprehend q renewal of said civil
war, or any foreign interference, or
any unlawful resistance by any por-
tion ofthe people OF any of the States
to the Constitution and laws of the
United States; and
Whereas, It is desirable to reduce
the standing army, and to bring to
a speedy termination military occu-
patton, martial law, military tribu-
nails, abridgment of the freedom of
speech and of the press, suspension
ofthe privilege of habeas corpus, and
the right of trial by jury-such en-
croachments upon our free institu-
tions, in times of peace, being dan
gerous to public liberty, incompati-
Bile with the individual rights of the
contrary to the genius and
spirit of our republican form ofgove
ernment, exhaustive of the nation
al resources; and
Whereas, 1t is believed that am
1esty and pardon will tend to secure
/ complete and universal establish

LAW TROUBLES IN AURoRA.-The Es-

following statement regarding some law
skirmishing over a mine and mill Of that
district:
Considerable excitement was caused in our
mining community last Saturday on account
of number of attachments, amounting in
the aggregate to about $l7 1000, being sued
out and served against the Juniata mine and
mill. 1t seems that O'Neal, a member of
the Juniata Company residing in Gold Hill,
telegraphed the principal creditors here to
attach Immediately if they wished to secure
the amount due them, and that the attach
ments were issued accordingly. Several at
tachments were sent to Gold Hill and served
on the property of O'Neal and Rule, another
partner, whereupon another dispatch was
Immediately sent to the creditors here stat
ing that if they would hold off every thing

turned from San Francisco with an agent of
the Bank Of California, and it is reported
now that the work on the mine will soon be
resumed. The trouble, as near as we can
learn, is purely a company affair, and not,
any fault or lack of confidence in the mine
The miners, who know, of course, how the
mine looks, all seem TO have confidence that
everything will come out right, as not sim
gle one of them has attached anything. Mr..

The President replies to this letter, Janua-

distinct understanding that he would remain
in position in the War Office, or in the event
he should conclude it to be his duty to sur

THE DAILY APPEAL.

THE FENIAN BROTHERHOOD, as will be
seen by a notice in another column, will hold
a meeting tomorrow evening. This is a
special meeting, at which business of import
ance will be brought.to the attention of the
members, and Center Sweeney desires that
there should be a full attendance.
PERsoNAL.-Among the passengers who
arrived in Carson yesterday from California,
were w. ID. Lawlor and r. L. Gardner; the
former gentleman recently from Philadelphia,
and the latter from few days sojourn in San
Francisco. We understand Mr.. Lawlor re-
ports his time profitably spent at the East in
preparation for the better teaching of pupils
here, and that he will soon open his Institute.
The gentlemen named above came through
from Sacramento to Carson in just twenty
four hours. The roads are in good condition
over the mountains.
