General Amnesty Proclamation by the
President.

WHEREAS, Tho President of the United States
has heretofore set forth several proclamations
Offering amnesty and pardon to persons who had
been UT were concerned in the late rebellion
against the lawful authority of the Government
of the United States, which proclaim atoms wtle
generally issued on the Sth day of Dec. 1863, on
ths 26th day Of March, 1864, on the goth day of
May, 1865, on the 7,h day of Sept. 1867, and on
the 4th day of July in the present year
And, whereas, tho authority of the Federal
Government having botn rc-es:ablis cd in all the
States and Territories within the jurisdiction Of
thu United States, it is believed that such pru-
Genital reservations and exceptions as at the
dates of said several proclamatons were deemed
necessary and proper, may now bo wisely md
justly relinquished, and that an universal amnes-
ty and pardon for participation in said rebellion
extended to all who have borne any part therein,
will tend to secure permanent peace, order and
prosperity throughout the lund, and to renew and
fully restore confidence and fraternal feeling
among the whole people, and their respect Tor anu
attnchment to the National Government, designed
by its patriotic founders for general good.
Now, therefore, be it known thrt l, Androw
Johnson, President of the United States, by virtue
of the power and authority in mo vested by the
Constitution, and in the name Of the sovereign
people of the United States, do hereby proclaim
ard declare, Internationally and without rese.ra-
ftipn, to all and to every person who, directly or
Indirectly participated in the late instruction or
rebellion, full pardon and amnesty for the CT
fsnsc of treason against the United States, or ol
atIhcring to their enemies during tho late civil
war, with restoration Of all rights, privileges and
ihImunities uadcr the Constitution and the laws
which have been made in pursuance thereof.
In tas,imony whereof have signed these pres
cnts wing hand, and have caused the sea
of tho United States to be hcrsunto affixed
Dono at tho city of Washington this twenty.
fifth day of December, in the, year of our LORD
lone thousand eight hundred and si1ty-eigh'
and of the independence Of the United States
the ninety third.

4 Living tiend.ess Child.

The D posit (N. ~ Cuu'ivr is rcsponsi
bic for the following marveloas story:
In the viciuisy Of Spoon river in Illinois,
IS child that was born aud has lived five
years without u bead. Mrs. the moth.
er, i the widow OF soldier, formerly living
i'll MARSHALL county, who enlisted in the Six-
ty fifth CT Scotch regiment. and was killed at
the battle of Lexington, Missouri. She was
standing beside her husband during an ell
gagcnent, when cannon ball carried his
head completely away. his body falling into
her arms and covering Lcr with blood. cThe
shock affected her greatly. When her ~
was BORN there was not the Ssmblance 6Ha
head about it. The limbs q perfectly de.
veloped, aud the shoulders where the head
and neck should be are smoothly rounded Oft.
But the most surprising thing of all is that
the face is situated in the breast. Of course
there being no neck, the power OF turning its
head is wanting, except as the whole body is
moved but this difficulty is overcome by the
singular faculty it possesses of turning its
eyes in their sockets, enabling it to sec quite
as well on either side as those more perfectly
framed. The upper portion Of its body is
white as the purest Caucasian; FROM the
waist downward is blood red. This strange
creature, now an active boy Of five years old,
asif to compensate for his deformiiy, possesses
the most clear and bird like tones ever lis.
tened to, singing with singular correctness
everything it may hear, aud It's voice at this
early age accompishes TWO octaves easily.

The Erection of Townships i'll Edge
field District.

We would Gull tho attention of the people gen.
orally to an important notice, in another column,
from the Board of County Commissioners. This
notice explains itself. 1t will be perceived that
three Electors are to be appointed in each Town
ship by the County Commissioners. We would,
therefore, advise the people Of each and every
Township to lose no time in nominating to said
Commissioners three of their most intelligent and
reliable citizens as best fitted to receive such ap
pointment. The election in each Township is to
take place on the 18th day of January 1869.
By instruction of the County Commissioners, we
shall next week, for the benefit of the people al
large, publish, in full, the "Act to organize
Townships, and 10 define their powers and priVi-
leges," and the "Act to deGue the Jurisdiction
and duties of County Commissioners"

Miss MARr,AssS BuIE, Soldiers Friend, begs
to thank The. Editors everywhere, who have been
SO enthusiastic in their endeivors in behalf of the
Confederate Orphans, tho rightful pensioners upon
the charity and bounty of all good and true hearts
who love their color and their country.
Miss BUIE begs to say that she hopes to be able
to place education in roach of many wishing On
education, but, who, owing to the distressed con-
dition of the country, have not been able to 60 to
school and pay the high rates asked every where
in the first class Schools. 1t is the duty Of all
persons of intellectual culture, to give tone to the
sentiment and feelings Of the community in which
they live, and awaken q spirit of inquiry for
learning and refinement. Education is power; it
is wealth. It is duty we owe to society, to give
ail to onlishtcn its humbest members. Let us
Of the South build up our own institutions, and
make them nm honor to tho Statc. With united
cooperation, and proper endowment Of our
schools, we may hope that the machinery of edu.
cation will move on with regularity, accomplish
much good, and afford the means Of education to
mliny bright and promising children. Let every
child beseducated Us it should be.

Lloyd,s Great Double Maps.

One can scnrcsly- spond- -nl"re Pirrsuus- e.
structve hour than in poring over late map Of
the United States. For number of years there
has been no edition, We know Of, published in
the South and TO note now the changes of those
years, as rendered in Geography, is matter both
Of interest and profit.
The most valuable maps of the day are, with
out doubt, Lioyds. The one to which we par
licularly refer is Lloyd's Double Map Of North
America and tho Southern States. We have late-
ly received one from the hands Of on accommo-
dating Agent, and We now make our acknowl-
edgements for so reully valuable present On
one side of this Map is to be found North Amer-
ca in full on the reverse side, tho late Confedc-
rate States. And with tho Map, arc various ap-
plianccs-hooks, cords, pulleys-for suspcndins
and reversing it. The arrangement for reversing
the Map is wonderfully cunning and effective.
Concerning tho perfectness and accuracy of this
Map, we have only to say that erery Railway
Station is laid down; and that in Edgefeld Dis
trict erery country locality is properly named
aud placed. And all that vast region between
tho trans. Mississippi and tho Pacihc, which We
remember eight years ago, as marked only here
and there with some lonely river, some sterile
desert, or some mountain range, with no sign of
lifo save the name of some petty fort, or rowing
tribe of savages, is here, on Lloyd's Map, divided
by lawful metes and bounds, dotted with towns
and villages, marked and intersected by railroads
Especially the great Pacific Railroad) and with
every hero and there the dome Of some State
Capitol rising high in air.
We would honestly advise all persons who do
not wish to fall entirely behind the ago as regards
the geography of the country in which they live,
to buy-one of Lloyds Double Maps of North
America and the Southern States. See the adysr-
tisoment of of"AscntsGW GWanted"in this paper,
