General Amnesty.
The New York Tribune has double-lead-
od editorial IN tho follnwinr effect:

The New York Tribune has double-lead-
ed editoria! to the following effect:
1.-THE President has prepared and will send
to Congress, as soon as Georgia and Texas
are admitted, a message recommending that
Universal Amnesty be declared, and restor-
ing their civil rights to all engaged in the
Rebellion who come forward and ask them.
1t is message which the country will gladly
hail. and the results of which will be far
reaching and bene6cent. The Senate should
show its disposition to welcome the measure
by at once admitting the only two States
which remain unreconstructcd. Then, with
every State once more represented in the
National Congress, every citizen voter, and
every rebel forgiven, we shall be ready, as a
united people, to pay our debt. rebuild our
waste places, and renew our career of mag
nifccnt material prosperity. Hail the aus
picious day!''
| TIE PRESIDENT AND THE TRoops.--The
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun says:
| The President is undecided about sending
troops into the alleged insurrectionary dis
tricts Of tho Southern States. He is not as
sured as yet that the State authorities are in
competent to take care Of their own disor-
derby population Another yexed question

for this extraordinary service. The army is
rapidly diminishing in numbers, and by the
eHd of the current year will be below the
ante Jellun,E standard, unless Congress au-
thorizes the army force to be augmented.
There has been great demand for troops
for the frontier service, particularly for New
Mexico, Arizoaa and Montana, and all the
force available is required to keep up the
necessary posts there for the defence Of the
settlers against the Indians, +.
