PRESIDENT JuSRsuxs AMNESTY PROCLAMATION
II In Sustained by tho United States Courts
Iron the Knoxville (Tenn.) Press and Herald,

IRON the Knoxville (Tenn.) Press and Herald,
Feb 2.
Judge Trigg delivered an oral opinion yesterday in
the Federal Uourt upon the motion to dismiss the
prosecution In the OF the United States vs. John
III. Crozier for treason. Az stated In our previous
report the defendant, along with about q Thousand
others Of more or Tess prominence In the rebellion
was indicted IN the United States Circuit Court at
this place some four or i've years ago for treason.
He was arrested aud admitted to BAIL though up to
the present term Of the court he had died no plea Of
any sort to the Indictment, and, without pleading,
moved the court. through his counsel TO DISMISS the
proceedings against him under the general Prov.
sons OF the proclamation OF the President issued the
25th or December last. To this the District
Attorney objected, and q lengthy argument
ensued. OF which we have already made mention.
HIS honor held. first that the President has q right
70 grant pard0ns either to Individual offenders lex
cept IN cases OF impeachment by special exercise OF
fhe p0we, or TO classes OF Offenders by general ex
ercise OF 4. aud this right In derived from or con-
ierIed by tue constitution; second, that he has the
rigbt, llkewlse 10 make such pardon or general am
nesty Known BY solemn proclamation: third, that
courts OF the United states should take judicial
cognzance OF such proclamations for the pardon OF
sPeclned onence and stay proceedings for the
punishment OF such offence whether such proclama-
non be specially pleaded IN bar or the prosecution
or not ana, therefore, fourth, that the President
had the constitutional right 70 issue his proclana-
non OF the 25th OF December last and that the dc.
PENDANT cannot be held further TO answer an indct-
ment i0r an offence for which the court must know,
from The indictment itself, he has been fully par
doned. Inc motion was sustained, the indictment
dismissed ant dsieE1aAt discharged.

On the Mason farm a well has been sunk to the
depth OF 800 feet, which has hitherto yielded
but little oil, with an abundance OF gas. The pro-
eject Of heavy charge OF nltrogiycerine, and
yesterday nifty pounds were exploded by Mr.. Now

and great sss sns arose from the

down below, 10 answer for blasting his oil factory.
The result OF the explosion on the well cannot be
ascertalned until the well has been tubed and the
water Ia column OF 100 feet has been pumped on.
The indications are that so heavy an explosion the
bale Of the cartridge which was recovered proved
the terrible force exerted must have penetrated the
mud veins for a considerable distance.
The readers OF the Herald may feel interested In
Knowing that the water In the well amounted To
about twenty-five barrels; the volume of gases,
evolved by the explosion, say at pressure OF forty
Ave barrels per square inch, or three atmosphere
compressed into one would I'LL 2S1 barrels aud the
power required 10 lift the column OF water would be
equal to four and 0ne-haf tons. The operation was
entirely satisfactory TO all parties and the ability u
safely lire these heavy charges with as much care "A
