C , April 11, 1867 10. -Te JKS "rr K 'nUtion of this Military District cannot be j ;Kont affording means for the devel opment of their industrial resources. The nature and extent of the destitution demand - .extraordinary measures. The people are borne down by a heavy burden of debt; the crops of grain and garden produce failed last year; many families have been deprived of shelter; many .more need food &ud slothing; needful imple ments and auxiliaries of husbandry are very flcarce; the laboring population in numerous localities are threatened with starvation, unless supplied with food by the Government of the United States; the inability of a large portion of the people to pay taxes leaves the local au thorities without adequate means of relief; and the gravity of the situation is increased by the J . general deposition shown by creditors to enforce, j,p n impoverished people, Abe immediato vcollection of all claims. To suffer all this to go on without restraint j or remedy is to -sacrifice the general good. The rights of creditors shall be respected ; but the appeal of want and suffering aaust be heeded. .Moved by these considerations, the following regulations ne announced. They will continue is force, with such modifications as the occa ' eion may require, until the civil government of , the respective States shall be established, in ac cordance with the requirements of the Govern ment of the United States. The Commanding General earnestly desires and confidently believes that the obsorvaoce of .these regulations, and the co-operation of all persona concerned in employing fairly and justly the advantages tiil remaining to them, will mitigate the distress now existing; and that the avenues of industry, enterprise, and organization thus opened, will contribute to the permanent welfare and future happiness of the people. I. Imprisonment for debt is prohibited, unless the defendant in execution shall be convicted of a fraudulent concealment or disposition of his property, with intent to hinder, delay and pre vent the creditor in the recovery of his debt or demand.

I3y command of Major General D. E. Sickles. J. W. CLOUS, Capt. 38th U. S In. A D C & A A A G Official: J. W. Clous, Aid-de-Camp. THE TEST OATH. We have been asked on several occasions for the exact terms of the oath required of those who hold federal offices. Here it is : "I (A. B.) do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I have never voluntarily borne arms against the United States since I have been a citizen thereof; that I have voluntarily 'given no aid, countenance, counsel or encouragement to persons engaged in armed hostility thereto; that I have never fought nor accepted, nor attempted to exercise the func tions of any office whatever, under any authority or pretended authority, in hostility to the United j States; that I have not yielded a voluntary sup port to any pretended Government, powor or con stitution within the United States, hostile or inimical thereto; and I do further swear (or af firm) that, to the best of,my knowledge and abili ty, I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which lam about to enter. So help me God." Which oath, so taken and signed, shall be pre served among the files of the court. Houses of Congress, or the department to which said officer may appertain. And any person who may falsely take said osth shall be guilty of perjury, and on conviction, in addition to the penalties now pre scribed for that offence, shall be deprived of office, and rendered incaj.able forever after of holding any office or place in the United States. Storm Signals During Harvest. This plan of the storm signals during harvest is by means of the telegraph and cannon. The tele graph ii to convey the news of a coming storm to each of the county scats, hundreds of miles in advance, in th in the direction that the storm is traveling. Then at each rmintr cot I r -J a VUIJUUU is approaching, in time to get their grain or hay under cover or in a situation to shut out the rain. A telegraph company, by arrangement with the county officials in several of the States is i - . .... about to nut the nlan into nracticil i tin,e for the coming harvest. It is believed i that a Ian- nortion of the manv millmnc r ; lara i grain and hay which are annually dam- . aed Dv ram dunn h harvest will be saved by the universal adoption of this simple plan through out the United States. There is, at last, one State in which women may vote. The Senate of Wisconsin, by a vote of 19 to 9, agreed to the Assembly resolution j extending suffrage to the ser. The ladies must now be courted for their ballots as well as their Muds. . THE . INJUNCTION CASES. The Supreme Court of the U. S. has refused to entertain the Mississippi bill against the President, but allowed the Georgia bill to be filed, as the same objection did not apply to the latter. rflhief .Tnslice Chase delivered the onlnion in the Supreme Court on the motion to file the Mississippi bnl restraining President Johnson and General Ord from carrying put the recon-; struction act. The court dissented from the ar gument of counsel that the President is required merely to perform a ministerial act, and held that the terms ministerial and executive are by no means equivalent in the import. A minis terial duty, the performance of which may in proper cases be required of the head of a de partment by judicial process, is one In respect to which nothing is left to discretion.. On the other hand, it is the duty of the President to gee that the laws are faithfully executed, and amog these laws are the Reconstruction acts. An attempt on the part of the Judicial Depart ment to enjoin the performance of such duties by the President might justly be characterized, in the language of Chief Justice Marshall, as "an absurd and excessive extravagance." Con gress is the legislative department of the Gov ernment. The President is the Executive de partment. Neither can be restrained in its acts by the Judicial department, though the acts of both, when performed, are in proper cases sub ject to its cognizance. The Court proceeded to show the impropriety of such interference by con sidering the probable consequences, and con cluded as follows : "It has been suggested that the bill contains a prayer that if the relief sought cannot be had against Andrew Johnson as President it may be granted against him as a citizen of Tennes see, but it is plain that relief against the execu tion of an act of Congress by Andrew Johnson is relief against its execution by the President. A bill praying for an injunction against the execution of an act of Congress by the incum bent of the Presidential office cannot be re ceived, whether it describes him as President or as a citizen of a State. The motion to file the bill is therefore denied." Tub Georgia Injunction Case. Washing ton, April 16. The subpoena, issuerby the Su preme Court yesterday, reads thus: "The State of Georgia, complainant, vs. Edwin M. Stanton, Ulysses S. Grant and John Pope, de fendants : The President of the United States to Edwin M. Stanton, Utysses S. Grant and John Pope, Greeting: For certain causes offered before the Supreme Court of the United States, holding jurisdiction in equity, you are hereby commanded that, laying all other matters aside and notwith standing any excuse, you be and appear before the said Supreme Court holding jurisdiction in equity, on the first Monday in December next, at the Citv of Washington, in the districtof Colum- ml O bia, being the present seat of government of the United States, to answer the bill of complaint of the State of Georgia in the said Court exhibited against you. Hereof you are not to fail, at your peril. Witness, the lion. Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States.". It will be December before the Georgia case can be heard, and in the meantime the military will keep control of the State. No benefit has or can result from such proceedings. Washington, April 18.-r-In the Supreme Court, to day, Hon. .Robert Walker filed the amended bill in behalf of Mississippi against Secretary Stanton and Gens. Grant and Ord. The Attorney-General moved to dismiss both this and the Georgia bill, for want of jurisdic tion. And it was agreed by the Counsel that the motion should be argued on the 26th inst. Gov. Orr's Views. The Governor of South Carolina has recently made a speech in Charleston from which we make the following extract : "Congress has now, however, assumed that this is a conquered territory, and that to it belongs the right to dictate terms of peace. Their power is good for two years at least, and they have placed themselves squarely on the ground that we are a conquered people, and that ground they are able to maintain. I for one oppose an appeal to the Supreme Court, and believe that our true course is to come forward and accept the terms offered and carry them out in good faith. Yet, with all that, I believe it is better that they should be excluded from the privileges of voting aud holding office, than that we should refuse the terms offered, when there is a reasonable certainty that worse will be demanded and enforced. The confiscation bill, for instance, will in all proba bility be passed aud carried into execution if we resist, but will not if we yield. Looking there fore, to the interest of the great mass of our people it seems to bo the dictate of the highest wisdom to accept the terms offered by the Sherman Sup plemental bills. Therefore I say to everv rran who is not disfranchised, when registration is in augurated do not fail to register, and when the election comes off, be sure to vote for tho best men you can select to represent you in the con vention which is to frame the constitution and the government under which you and your posterity must live." . - ' Lrsrs Naturae. A gentleman from Western North Carolina has given us some information concerning one of the rarest freaks that probably nature was ever guilty of. The facts are strange and worthy of publicity. In Mitchell Co., N. C, there is a man who looks very much like a rattle snake, and has some of the habits of one. His hands and feet are shaped naturally, but once a year regular scales are formed and shed. His eyes are small and serpent like, whilst his whole appearance is wondrously strange. lie has. a forked tongue, which he shoots out with the rapidity of a snake, making at times a peculiar hissing noise. In winter he lies most of his lime in bed, and in summer will for two days at a time lie stretched out on the ground enjoying the sun shine. He will wind himself up like a hoop, and by his actions continually remind you of the rep tile he so much resembles. His body is not only shaped like a snake to a considerable extent, but is pied all over. He seems to have no mind, relishes wild game above all things else, and when a rabbit is brought him, will manifest his delimit in the wildest excitement His name is Wni. Wise, is of respectable parentage, and is twenty one years of age. His mother, some eight months before his birth, had the misfortune to tread upon a rattle snake. Large sums have been offered for the privilege of exhibiting hiih. but his rela tives have steadfastly refused. Gen. Sherman visited him when in Western Carolina. Our in formant is a Baptist minister, and perfectly re liable. In Haywood county, there is. another curiosity equally great. There is a man made in the shape of a dog. His name is Messer. Warrenlon Vindicator. People may believe as much of the above as hejjIease,. DESTITUTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA. The writer of the 'following letter, (says the Charleston Courier,) Colonel John B. Palmer was selected by General K K. Scott to distribute the supplies sent by the Southern v Famine Re lief Commission of New York city, in Lexington District, South Carolina. His statements may, therefore, be received as trustworthy : 'I have received your note of the 29th ultimo, stating that your Commission " hoped "to send other shipments soon, and that you would be glad to know from me the present state of desti tution in my district, and how far the corn already received will supply it. Before en deavoring to reply to your inquiries, permit me, in behalf of the destitute widows and 'orphans of. this district, to thank you for what you have already done. Your coble charity has brought comfort and comparative happiness to many desolated homes. ' ' ' ; Tbe corn I have received (I commenced issuing last week) cannot last more than two weeks longer, even with the very greatest care exercised in the distribution. So desirous am I that it should only reach the cases of real and aggravated want, that I refuse many applications that are undoubted really meritorious, and which would, in your land of plenty, be considered im perative. 'I have issued this morning, to about eighty families, comprising, perhaps, four hundred persons. To-morrow I shall issue, probably, to nearly as many more. This shows destitution of the most appalling character. Some of these poor creatures have come twenty miles, and have been two "days dragging themselves to where they might receive the benefit of your bounty. Many, however, live in my immediate neigh borhood. ' Oar stricken people are struggling faithfully to ensure future subsistence. Instances have come to my knowledge of farmers, who, having lost their horses and mules, and being unable to buy or hire others, are actually trying to break up their old fields with hoes, in their desperate efforts to raise a scanty support for their families during the coming winter. "Two cases of actual starvation have come under my personal observation. I was informed of the serious illness of an aged widow and two daughters, and, upon visiting them, found the mother and one of the daughters in the agonies of death, and was credibly informed that, for some time, their sole subsistence had been the refuse thrown into the streets and roads. I en couraged the second daughter by promising as sistance, and she recovered, and was supported by me till I procured her employment. God only knows how many similar cases might be searched out in our famished land. "I have before me a letter from a widow lady, recently in affluence, and whose family name has been associated with one of the very highest positions in our country, in which she makes application for a loan, to enable her to open a thread and needle store in which to employ her daughters. She writes : "I have one small loaf of bread in my house upon which my entire family must dine. We have nothing for supper, and our Heavenly Father only knows where we will procure our breakfast to-morrow." I have been shown a letter from a lady, also reduced from wealth to abject poverty, asking if there is any corn for distribution to one of her class, and stating that since the war she and her daughter have barely supported themselves by taking in needle work; but that now, so great is the destitution around them, she can procure no employment of any kind, and that she is. com pelled, most reluctantly, to seek relief from public charity. "The great want will be experienced within the next two or three months. The wheat crop, when husbanded, will relieve many, but a large number must continue to suffer till corn, which is the staple, is gathered." . The Sumter Watchman, of the 17th instant, learns from a source which it regards as reliable, that one or two burials of female whites have recently occurred, near the line of Kershaw and Sumter Districts, in which" the cause of death was stated by the officiating minister to have been want of food sufficient to sustain life. Released. Col. Scott, one of the prisoners sent to the Dry Tortugas during the war, under the charge-of being a spy, passed through Holly Springs last week, having, by the intercession of the Commandant s daughter, obtained his release. It is quite common, Col. S. reports, for the pris oner to be severely lashed on their bare backs, lor the least imprudence or indiscretion. For accidentally spilling a cup of paint, the Colonel was severely punished. Among the prisoners .still in that horrible bastile are Col. St. Leger Grqnfel, Inspector General on Gen. Bragg s staff, afterwi.rds Inspector General of the Cavalry of the Army of the Tennessee, who has been severely fl"gged a number of times; and Mr Alexander B. Stewart, of Bolivar count', M;ss. Mr Stewart was tried for arson, convicted, and sent to the Dry Tortugas for life. The real offense was that Mr S., in company with several gallant Confed erates, in 18C3, made an attack upon the steamer Ruth, between Memphis and Randolph, cap tured and burnt the boat, taking and detrovinjx alioul 84,000,000 in greenbacks. Holly Springs Reporter. Wealth and Poverty of our Presidents Jefferson died comparatively poor. Indeed if Congress had not purchased his library, giving him five timeft its value, he would with difficulty have, kept the wolf from the door. Madison saved his money, and was comparatively rich. To add to his fortune, however, or radier that of his widow, Congress purchased his manuscript papers, and paid $30,000 for them. James Monroe, the sixth President of the United States, died so poor that his remains found a resting-place through the charity of his friends. They remain in a ceme tery, but no monument marks the spot where they ropose. John Quincy Adams teft some $50, 000, the result of industry, prudence and inheri tance. He was a man of method and economy. Martin Van Buren died rich. Throughout his political life he studiously looked out for his own iuterest. Ileury Clay left a very handsome estate. It probably exceeded $100,000. He was a pru dent manager and a scrupulously honest man. James K. Polk lefl about $150,000, $50,000 of which was saved from his Presidency of four i years. JJaniei v eoster squandered some minions j in his lifetime, the product of his professional j speculation. He died leaving 1m property to his children and his debts to his friends. 1 The former sold for less than 1 2 0,000, the latter exceeding $250,000. John Tyler left G0,000. Before he i was President he was a bankrupt. In office, he i husbanded his mean, and then married a rich j wife. Zaehary Taylor left $ 1 60,000. M illard j Fillmore is a wealthy man, and keeps his money ; jn a strong box. It will not be squandered in , speculation and vice. Franklin Pierce sared j some $50,000 from his terra of service. James j Buchanan, who is a bachelor, and saves all he I j;et, is estimated to be worth at least $.2.00,000. - :. STATE NEWS. MobiT Relief We are pleased toannounce that Gov. Worth has been notified officially that the State Conwnissioners of Maryland bae ap propriated 7,000 bushels , of corn, and. 35,000 pounds of bacon, to relieve the destitute in this State. Five thousand bushels of corn have al ready been shipped to Wilmington, accompa nied by an Agent, Mr Myers, a Baltimore mer chant." This isr the first instalment of the libe ral donation of the State of Maryland for the re lief of the South. , . Severe Storm. We were visited with a severe storm Monday night 15th, of wind and rain. It was not so violent in this immediate vicinity as it was some mile or two east of us, on the line of the Atlantic Railroad. Trees were twisted off like twigs, fences torn down, telegraph poles thrown down, and we learn from the lips of Mr WI J. Rouse, that bis dwelling, and all of bi3 outhouses, Bave two, were blown to pieces his family miraculously escaping un hurt. Goldtboro News. There was a heavy storm of wind and rain in this section at the same time. Corn. About 6,000 bushels of corn were shipped from the Depot at Statesville, daring the months of February and March, aod all of it was received from points North of the road. A still larger quantity, it is supposed, will be shipped from tbe same depot, the ensuing pe riod, and a large surplus will remain in the country. In addition to this, we are informed by the Inspector of whiskey, more than twenty five distilleiies are in operation in the county Statesville, American- Col. C. C. Tew. The report circulated by the newspapers, several months ago, with refer ence to ihe imprisonment of Col.. C. C. Tew at the Pry Tortugas, proves to be incorrect his father, Henry S. Tew, Esq, having just re turned from a visit of inquiry to that Island. It is now certain that Col. Tew is not, and never has been, a prisoner at the Dry Tortugas. Mr Tew has been absent forty-two days, and traveled over 4,000 miles, having visited Balti more, New York, Key West and Havana. Tbe man who originated the report disappeared soon after making the statement, and Mr Tew could get no clue by which to trace him.

W The Fifty-first Annual Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the State of North Carolina, will meet in St. James Church, Wilmington, on Wednesday, May 15tb, 18G7. Too Mucn op it. Vc fear that our farm ers intend to devote too much of their labor this year to erowiog tobacco, to the neglect of a corn crop. We hope this will not be done, but that every farmer will make it his first great object to raise a full crop of corn, making tobacco only a secondary aim. Unless this is done the peo ple arc compelled to suffer. Raleigh Progress.
