STATE NEWS. Guilford County. A correspondent of the Richmond Times, writing from Greensboro', has the following : " Near by are the classic grounds of old Guilford Court house, memorable in the history of the revolution of 1770. 'Twas here also that General Johnston, in May, 60, sur ' rendered the last hope of the Confederacy. Many sad sto ries are told of that gallant old army of the West, after havin marched from the banks of the Mississippi, fight in" desperate odds inch by inch till it reached Greensboro. Nearlv all the young men from this part of North Carolina were 'in the army of Northern Virginia, and Greensboro', like all other Southern towns, exhibits the sad spectaclo in its streets of many of its best citizens maimed for life. Guilford county, though one of the most unconquerable Union counties in the State, when the tocsin of war sound ed was found among the foremost. From Williamsburg to Gettysburg the bones of her sons attest her devotion to principle. Since the close of the war, her people, thor oughly loyal and honest, have accepted the decision of fate, and "gone to work with a will that must be crowned with success." Masonic. A correspondent of a New York pa per, writing of the graves of Federal soldiers at Salisbury, adds: "I should here state that those of the prisoners who were Masons are buried in another enclosure, each grave having its head board bearing the square and compass, as well as the name, company and regiment of the dead.' Governor's Aids. We are authorized to an nounce that Gov. Worth has apjxinted the follow ing gentlemen his Aids-de-Camp, with the rank of Colonel: A. J. Dargan, of Anson, J. T. More head, Jr., of Guilford, Walter Clark, of Halifax and Jno. M. Perry, of Carteret. Resigned. Col. J. T. Kennedy has resigned his seatin the State Convention, as one of thedelegates from the county of Wayne. Dr. Thomas Person announces himself as a candidate to fill the va cancy. Resignation Election Ordered. Duncan Kel ly, Esq., member of the Convention from Bladen . county, has resigned, and the Governor has issued a writ for an election, to fill the vacancy, to be held on Wednesday, the 23d inst. The Church Intelligencer makes this announce ment : We have great pleasure in informing his many friends of the convalescence of the lie v. Mr. Everhart, till recently our associate in the care of the Intelligencer. There is now hardly a doubt of his speedy restoration to complete health. The prevalence of the cholera and the consequent an noyances to travellers may prevent his contempla ted visit to Europe ; yet the healthful airs of our own mountains will, we trust, be no less servicea ble. The camp of the freedmen near Greensboro' was abolished last week. Those of the negroes who were too infirm to rely upon their own exer tions for a support were sent to the "camp" at Salisbury. James Sinclair has been excommunicated from the Presbyterian church by the Fayetteville Pres bytery. We regret to learn that the dwelling house and eontents of Prof. J. Hicks, of this county, was entirely destroyed by fire a few nights ago. It is .supposed to be the act of an incendiary. Tarbonj Southerner. Little Woman. A woman weighing only 17 pounds, is exhibiting in Danville. She is from North Carolina. Bills of North Carolina Banks. There is in the possession of the people of North i 'arolina quite a large amount, in the aggregate, though small in individual cases, of the bills or notes issued by the Banks of the State. We presume that all the Banks are disposed to redeem their notes at their counters for what they esteem them to be actually worth. Y e learn that the Bank of Cape Fear, at its late meeting, resolved to redeem its outstanding bills in green backs at '25 cents in the dollar. We have good authority for saying that this is their value, or the extent of the ability of the Bank to pay at present. Few who are acquainted with the affairs of the Bank believe that it will ever be able to do more. We judge, therefore, it is advisable that holders of the bills of N. C. Banks would do as well to pre sent the bills at the Banks as soon as possible, or, if they prefer to risk it, they can soon deposit them with the several Commissioners, who may be appointed to settle the affairs, and receive in the end the pro rata value of their claims. llaleigh Sentinel. Charlotte. Dr. Deems writing to the Watch nuin under date of New Orleans, April 30th, thus speaks of Charlotte : I wish Charlotte, N. C, lay in the route of my travel back to New York, for several reasons. One is that I like to be in Char lotte general!, and love my friends therein, the lady friends and the masculines, factors, editors, cashiers, professional and mercantile men. It's a brave little borough, and so enterprising. A clev er fellow can go to Charlotte and make all the best kind of friends a clever fellow needs. But my s fecial regret to-day is, that I am compelled to decline the polite invitation of our accomplished friend And contributor, Mr3. Fanny Downing, to deliver a lecture in behalf of the "Stonewall" Cemetery Association, of which she is President. The object of this association is to obtain funds to collect into a " God's-Acre," at Charlotte, the re mains of her brave sons who fell in the late con test. One may well regret being deprived of the privilege of making his contribution to so pious an object. But their tombs will be built and gar nished without, ine, and their memories cherished in all coming ages by the lovers of constitutional liberty. Crops in. Western N. C Tjrs Freedmen, kc. -An intelligent gentleman, who has recently vis ited several counties in Western North Carolina, states that the crop of wheat is looking rather thin and unpromising, but that the corn is doing well, .and with good seasons, will give a good crop to .the farmers. Wo are pleased to learn from the same source, that the freedmen are working well, and filling their contracts with great fidelity. Money is rep resented as more abundant there than in the Eastern pail. of the State, as that section suffered little by the ravages of war. It is to be hoped that Ihey will soon be restored to their wonted happi ness and prosperity. So mote it be. North Carolinians Pardoned. The following prominent citizens of this State were pardoned on Friday last, under the first and thirteenth excep tions of the proclamation of amnesty : II. K. Burgwyn, J. G. King, W. F. McKessan, Alfred Williams, Gen. Win. li. Cox, Gen. Bradley T. John son, J. G. Cook, A. M. Lewis, Col. Wm. B Hod man, J. W. Hall, G. G. Lynch and G. W. Thomp son. Bisirors' Visitation. Bishop Atkinson preached in St. Stephen's Church, Goldsboro', last Sunday morning to a large and attentive audience. The Bite of Confirmation was administered to seventeen persons in the morning and evening of the day. The health of the Bishop being still feeble, the sermon at night was preached by the Rev. Mr. Patterson. Pardons. We are authorized to state that par dons have been granted to the following persons, whose petitions were found in the Executive office by Governor Worth on the 28th of December last. Most of these pardons, at the request of Gov. Worth, for the convenience of the parties, have been mailed direct from Washington to the ad dress of each of the parties pardoned, or to some person in their vicinity who will distribute them : Anson County.

We learn that John Williams, a freedman, convicted of the crime of burglary at the last term of the Superior Court of Law of Jones county has been pardoned by the Gover nor. This exercise of executive clemency on the part of his Excellency, was, we learn, based upon the united recommendations of the officers of the Court, and of the Counsel both for and against the prisoner. Wecmjngton, Charlotte and Rutherford Bail Road. We learn from the Wadesboro' Argtis that Harvey fc Robinson, contractors for building the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford Railroad from Sand Hill in this direction, are making pre parations to begin work without delay. They are getting the tools together, building shanties and laying in a stock of provisions. They wish to en gage, without delay the services of several hun dred able bodied hands as laborers, and will pay good wages. Provisions will be furnished at rea sonable rates. On Saturday last, says the Wadesboro Argus, as per published notice, Messrs. Cole and Steele, of the Board of Directors of the Wil., Char, and Ruth. R. R Co., met in this place to receive pro posals for carrying the mails, three times a week, between Sand Hill, the present Western tei minus of the Eastern division of the road, and Charlotte. But one bid was made by J. B. As kew. His offer was accepted, and the articles were drawn and signed on that day by the parties concerned. We are glad to have it in our power to announce that we will, after the 15th of the current month, by the proposed arrangement on this route, have a daily mail, (Sundays excepted,) at this point three times a week from Wilmington, and altern ate days from Charlotte. From Wilmington the mails and passengers for this point to go through for the West will reach here at 10 o'clock at night of the same day they leave Wilmington, and Charlotte in twenty-four to twenty-seven hours from Sand Hill. Funeral of Judge Badger. The immense con course of our citizens which accompanied the re mains of our late illustrious fellow-citizen, the Hon. George E. Badger, to their last resting place on Sunday afternoon, testified to the strong hold which he had upon the veneration and affections of the community. The funeral exercises were of the most solemn and impressive character, and all seemed to realize the irraparable loss that society and the State have sustained in the death of this great and good man. The burial service of the Episcopal Church was read by the Rev. Dr. R. S. Mason. The following gentlemen acted as pall-bearers upon the occasion, viz : His Excellency, Gov. Worth, Hons. Thos. Bragg and John H. Bryan, and Geo. W. Morde cai, B. F. Moore, R. W. Lassiter, H. W. Husted and Geo. Little, Esqs. Red. Sentinel, Death of an Esteemed Citizen. We regreat to learn from the Wadesboro Argus that Mr. Samuel C. Lindsley, for many years principal of the Anson Academy, died on Friday last. Mr. L. often spoke with pride of two of his former pu pils Maj. Gens. Ramseur and Hoke. Of the cause of his death, the Argus thus speaks : His health was always very delicate, and like one whose death we chronicled a few months ago, it was his misfortune to fall into the hands of certain rough characters who accompanied a celebrated Federal chieftain in his march through this section a lit tle better than a year ago, who, in their lust for gold, subjected him to very brutal treatment and great indignities. The shock to his already weak constitution, was too great, and it gradually gave way until he was finally compelled to take his bed only to leave it a corpse. Literary. The commencement exercises of Concord Female College, situated at Statesville, will take place on the 21st of Jane. The usual commencement sermon will be preached by Rev. D. A. Penick, and the Literary address for the oc casion will be delivered by Hon. Z. B. Vance. The examination of the pupils of the Franklin ton Academy will take place on Friday, June 1st. The address to the students will be delivered by Seaton Gales, Esq., of Raleigh. The Hon. H. M. Shaw. The remains of the gallant Col. II. M. Shaw, who fell in the discharge of his duties in the Confederate service, are repo sing in Currituck county, in this State. He was an able defender of the rights of the South in the Congress of the United States, and surrendered his life in defence of those rights during the late war. We hope that the time is not far distant when the people of the first Congressional District of North Carolina will feel it to be their duty to erect a suitable monument over the now humble grave of this departed statesman, orator and hero. Weldon Slate. Most of the early planted cotton seed in this county is turning out very bad. This is owing more, it is said, to the rather cool weather we have had since the seed was put in the ground than to the quality of the seed. Many planters are plowing up and replanting. Wadesboro' Argus. Still for War. The Danville Times states that a negro boy who waited on Captain Henderson, of the 13th North Carolina Troops, during the war, is the only person thereabouts whose voice is still for war. This boy wants to fight himself back into slavery, Commencement. We learn from the Charlotte Democrat that Ex-Governor Vance has accepted the invitation to deliver the address at the ap proaching Commencement at Chapel Hill. NEWS SUMMARY. The Proposed Tax on Cotton. There was a meeting of the New York Chamber of Commerce on Thursday, in relation to the proposed increased tax on cotton by Congress. The report of a spe cial committee remonstrating against any increased tax upon this staple was adopted unanimously. Ex-Mayor Opdyke, Cyrus W. Field, Judge Marvin and others warmly opposed any increased taxa tion, and were of opinion that the interests of the entire country, and the Southern States especial ly, would be injured by the adoption of the pro posed measure.

Full History of the Foul and Murderous Plot Judge Underwood and the Conspiracy- against the Ldfe of Jefferson Davis His Determination to Convict and Hang Him How the Jury was Packed The Character of the Men The Radi cals Howling for the Blood of Jefferson Davis The Secret History of Judge Underwood and III Conspirators in Richmond. The intended programme of Judge Underwood and his " Court " at Norfoik had been secretly for warded to us before he made his advent into that city, but, as revealed to us, it was so base and vil lainous that we doubted its genuineness, and chose not to divulge it until we might wait and see if the real enactment would correspond with the sto ry told us. Underwood has strictly fulfilled his engagement, and the seal of secresy having been removed from our lips, we proceed to give, as briefly as possible, a full history of the murderous plot to take the life of Jefferson Davis ; HOW UNDERWOOD PACKED HIS JURY. Long before the meeting of his Court, "Judge" Underwood was secretly devising means by which he could muster a jury in this State who would be sure to execute his purposes, and find a bill of in dictment against Mr. Davis. This was the first step in the game, and Underwood knew the im portance of securing it ; if this failed, all failed. He was in consultation here with the "Ferret Club," and obtained from them a list of names of those who had already committed themselves by their antecedents and speeches (as will be shown hereafter) in favor of the hanging of Mr. Davis. This part of his programme being secured, he goes to Norfolk and sends his Deputy United States Marshal (a Mr. Duncan) to Richmond to summon jurymen, a list of whom was furnished the Marshal by Underwood himself. Upon that list were the following names : Hunnicutt. Frankun Stearns. James E. Lipscomb. WrLIilAM N. TtNSIiEY. B. Wardwell. B. Davis. T. Dudley, Jr. W. Fay. CHARACTER OP THE MEN FROM RICHMOND WHO SAT ON THE JURY. The above list, as will be seen, (furnished the Marshal, we repeat, by Underwood himself) is headed by the name of Hunnicutt, editor of a dir ty negro sheet published here, called The New Na tion an infamous, unscrupulous old villain, who has been anything and everything, from whiskey seller to preacher. Several years since he first made his appearance in Fredericksburg, with the aspiration of passing himself off as a Baptist preacher and journalist. His numerous antics in duced the citizens of that town at first to imagine that he was a cracked-brained idiot. But it re quired not much time to prove to their utter sat isfaction that he was cracked all over, and void of of all honesty. Latterly, he removed to Rich mond , where he has shown himself to be a low, stupid hypocrite and knave. Here, Hunnicutt took the negroes to his embrace, and harangued them on Capital Square, under the shadow of Washington's statue, and his themes are negro suffrage, equality and miscegenation. W. N. Tinsley is a Virginian by birth, but a brute by nature, who made a fortune out of the Confederacy by making bread for the soldiers, and then ran off for Europe, but stopped in New York ! This fellow Tinsley is of a good family, and his connections are very respectable, but they are ashamed of him. They feel that he has dis graced them, and they repudiate and disown him with the utmost indignation. A traitor to his kin, his friends, his acquaintances, his fellow-citizens and his State, he was justly considered by Under wood as vile enough for his atrocious purposes. Next on the list comes Wardwell, the Yankee "cool icy man," whose blood is frozen by the thing he deals in. Wardwell was disqualified to sit on that jury, and Mr. Davis' counsel will have a perfect right to challenge the indictment he helped to frame, for he had formed and expressed an opinion as to his guilt or innocence, in these words, as can be established by the oath of a gen tleman of this city : " If I was on the jury, that is to try Jefferson Davis, I would hang him to the first tree that would bear his form." This man holds a position as deputy under Humphreys, Col lector of Customs for the port of Richmond, and is one of those double-faced impostors who have deceived Mr. Johnson, and whom, we trustr he will remove a fast as he learns their true charac ters. Mr. Humphreys is now in Washington, moving heaven and earth to secure his appoint ment, fearing that the President will not send in his name for confirmation. If President Johnson knew the true character of the man, and what a bitter enemy he is to his Administration and his policy, and how thoroughly he is at heart with the Radicals, Humphreys' head would soon be chop ped off and in the basket. The next of the willing slaves of the District " Judge " is Fay " the culprit Fay " an indigo blue Yankee, another deputy of Collector Hum phreys ; a man who could take the test oath, or any other oath, with equal indifference. He was sent to Virginia to eke out a jury, and he knew his part and performed it. The fourth one is Davis, a full-blooded Yankee, who ran away from us during the war, and has since returned, without an invitation. He was a notoriously bad character previous to his flight, and his hegira has but added to his disrepute. This Davis is what is called a jackleg carpenter, and he is eager for the job of building a scaffold for his illustrious namesake. The next, but not least, of the five worthies from Richmond, who have made themselves ac cessories before the fact to the murder of Jeffer son Davis, is old Dudley, a Yankee, who was too old to run off, being over the conscription age, and who consequently turned his attention to speculation during our great tribulation, and re alized, it is said, a large fortune. He is a liquor merchant on Main street, an old resident of the city, and hates Mr. Davis because he is a temper ate man, who lent his influence against the sale of ardent spirits during the war. HOW UNDERWOOD MADE SURE OF HIS GAME. In order to have in his hands none but pliant tools, Judge Underwood instructed his deputy marshal not to enforce the attendance of parties ; he wanted none that would not be volunteers in the iniquity. See the cunning villiany in this. Underwood was determined not to endanger .the success of his plans by having any unwilling ju rors. He had selected his men, but they would not be trustworthy if they were forced into ser vice. The jury must be perfectly willing to do the job, or the whole plot might miscarry. This makes the conduct of those creatures who went to Norfolk and did Underwood's bidding even more atrocious and despicable, for it was voluntary with them, and they could have refused to attend. In fact, two of them did refuse to go Franklin Stearns and James E. Lipscomb, and for this one good act they deserve much credit. They were the only two out of the whole list who had th manliness and good sense not to participate in this plot of Underwood. THE JURYMEN SELECTED IN NORFOLK. The Norfolk papers tell us that the parties raked up from that city to sit upon the jury were no bet ter than those picked from Richmond. Speaking of them, the Norfolk Virginian says : "We make the declaration, the truth of which will be attested by every respectable man in this community, that so far as the Norfolk men are concerned who were on that jury, a more unrelia ble set could not be found in this or any other community. Three of them are deserters from the Confederate ranks. Butler mitigated his infamy in this community, by fixing perjury on one of them. Andanotherseekinga 'lower depth, 'after he turned Union man, went into the business of run ning blockade goods into the Confederacy, and yet, as a juryman, took the oath that he had never given 'aid and comfort to the South.' This is a true bill against some of the men who are attempt ing to fix treason upon Jefferson Davis." THE RADICALS PLOTTING FOB THE LIFE OF MB. DAVIS. From the conspiracy of Judcre Underwood it is very plain that he is carrying out, in letter and rmn"t the nrocfTamme arranged with develish in genuity by the Radicals at Washington, and that Sir, Davis is to be executed, if men base enough 1 'for the purpose can be found. It is even whis pered that between this and J une an act of Congress will limit Executive clemency. Mr. Davis is to die, if Radical malignity, assisted by all the sub tlety of demons, can attain that dire result The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun admits as much in the following paragraph of his correspondence : " The indictment of Jefferson Davis by the Grand Jury at Norfolk, and setting his case for trial at Richmond in June, is in Istrict accordance with the programme agreed upon here. Judge Un derwood is expected in the city to-night with the copy of the indictment. The trial of Mr. Davis will now undoubtedly take place at as early a day in the J une session as possible, and will, of course, be conducted with all due farmalities, but as all arrangements necessary to secure a conviction have been made, the result may be easily predicted. It is the settled purpose of certain men in high )ositions to hare Mr. Davis executed, if it is within the range of 2xssibility, and that they are not slow in assert ing that tne people of the North will never allow the interposition of Executive clemency. THE TIME OF TRIAL. The trial of Mr. Davis on this true bill for "trea son" is fixed to take place in this city in June. It may be, however, that Chief Justice Chase may adhere to his expressed resolution not to hold a court in Virginia or to aid in the prosecution of Mr. Davis until martial law is entirely revoked. If he should still adhere to this position, the trial of Mr. Davis will probably be postponed ; for, unless he (Chief Justice Chase) becomes a party of his programme, and consents at that time to sit in the case, it is difficult to see how the proceedings will go on, as the presence of the two judges is necessary for the trial of a capital of fence. THE ONLY HOPE EOR MR. DAVIS. The vengeance of Radicalism is unappeased. It cries for the blood of Mr. Davis. Nothing else will satisfy it. The only hope is in the incorrupti ble and fearless Chief Magistrate of the country. Let us hope that he will see that Mr. Davis has a fair trial. Neither Mr. Davis nor any of his friends are afraid of a fair investigation and a just decis ion ; the apprehension . is that the sentence is al ready pronounced, and that the trial will be a mock ery. Andrew Johnson owes it to his fame, to his country, to justice, that he should carefully super vise the proceedings, and prevent a judicial mur der a foul Murder that will plunge the two sec tions of the United States into irreconcilable ha tred, and make it abhorred by all civilized nations. There is not a true Southerner but will feel that he has been cruelly deceived by an amnesty that yields Jefferson Davis to the scaffold. WHAT OTHERS THINK OF JUDGE UNDERWOOD'S CON DUCT. From the Philadelphia Age. Judge Underwood, of the United States District Court in the Virginia Circuit, has manifestly taken Jeffreys for his model, and is impatient to immor talize himself by re-enacting on the soil of the Old Dominion the cruelties and butcheries of the Bloody Assizes. On last Tuesday he delivered an address to the Grand Jury, the like of which has never been heard of in any court of justice, we verily believe, since the darkest days of oppres sion of which there is record in English history. From the Alexandria Gazette. On the authority of a"gentlemen who has lived in Alexandria for fifty yerirs, and has, at various times, held important municipal positions, that of the thirteen members from Alexandria, compris ing the greater number of the Grand Jurors of the Circuit Court of Norfolk, he has never heard of but three and from those three, though clever enough in their ways, no sane man would have supposed for an instant that a petit juryman even could be selected. From the Norfolk Virginian. We need not again recur to the character of the charge to the Grand Jury delivered by Judge Un derwood at the opening of the United States Court in this city on Tuesday last. All who have read that scurrilous production must regret that the Government under which they live should ever have conferred office upon such a miserable crea ture. LATEST NEWS BY MAIL. Matters in Congress The Constitntional Amend ment General Beauregard in Baltimore His Reception Arrival of Santa Anna Governor Wise in Alexandria. We clip the following items from our exchanges received last eveninj? : UNCONFIRMED CIVIL OFFICERS THE REPUBLICAN OP POSITION TO THE COSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes : There is believed to be a bare majority of the Senate in favor of the adoption, in a separate bill, of the negative amendment to the postofiice ap propriation bill, inhibiting any payment to civil officers appointed by the President, unless con firmed by the Senate. Such a bill will pass both Houses and be vetoed by the President. Those of the Republicans in the House who voted against the previous question upon the con stitutional amendment represent the Republican opposition to the third section. But a majority of these opposed it because it was too conservative. They would go for a proposition of perpetual ex clusion of all who were voluntarily engaged in the Confederate service. The House will not take up the bill accompany ing the amendment till the Senate shall have act ed upon the amendment. It is the general belief of the members of the House that the amendment will fail in the Senate for want of a two-thirds vote. New projects for restoration are to be of fered in the House by Republican members. Mr. Morrill expects to get through with the in ternal revenue bill by the end of this week, and the tariff will come next. The Senate and House will be thinly attended this week. Many mem bers have gone heme, and both houses are jaded and wearied of the work. They would close the session without any plan of reconstruction if their constituents would permit them to do it. Arrival of Santa Anna Important Mission. Gen. Santa Anna, of Mexico, arrived at Eliza bethport, N. J., on Saturday, by the steamer Georgia, from St. Thomas. He is accompanied by several South Americans. The New York Post says : It is understood that the object of the General in visiting the United States is to unite his efforts with those of the liberal party of Mexico in ex pelling Maximilian from that country. In a few days he will issue a manifesto to the public, ex plaining his previous conduct in relation to Mex ican affairs, and expressing the objects of his fu ture course. Gen. Santa Anna will once more, it is announced, risk his fortune and person in be half of Mexico. He declares that he is not seek ing for power, but will place himself under the leadership of President Juarez. Gen. Santa Anna will remain at Elizabethport for several days, when he will come to New York. It is understood that a public meeting will soon be held at Cooper In stitute, at which he will be present. Gen. "Wise's Address. Hon. Henry A. Wise delivered a lecture in the Baptist Church on Washington street, Alexandria, last night, for the benefit of the Female Orphan Asylum of that city, to a crowded audience. Mr. Wise indicated his intention to stand by Virginia ; that he would not move one step from her soil ; that he had taken no test oaths, and no power on earth could make him take any. He had always obeyed the Constitution of the United States, but when the United States called on him to suppress insurrection, and Virginia to repel invasion, it became a conflict of sovereignty, and he was not individually responsible for obeying the call of his State. " Judge Underwood." Judge Underwood arrived in the early train yesterday morning, with a copy of the indictment against Jefferson Davis. He was at the office of the Attorney General for a considerable period yesterday, engaged in consultation with the As sistant Attorney General, J. Hubley Ashton, Esq. He urges upon the radical members of the Senate a speedy passage of the House bill to provide for the holding of the Circuit Court at Richmond, in June. It has been decided not to make , public the indictment at this time. Postmasters and the President. Concerning the action of the President in re moving postmasters throughout the country, who are using their positions for purposes antagonis tic to his policy, it may be stated that these offi cers wield an ' immense deal of power and influ ence, particularly in the rural districts. In round numbers there are some 25,000 officers of this class, of whom onlj about 700 have to be sent to the Senate for confirmation. Another Veto. The habeas corpus bill, the act to prevent Union officers and soldiers from being prosecuted by rebels for arrests or acts done in the suppression of the rebellion, will probably be vetoed about the middle of the week, on the grounds that it is too sweeping in its character and exempts too many persons. Reported Decapitation of Postmasters. It is said that the clerks in the Postoffico De partment are busy making out appointments for a large number of new postmasters in all sections of the country.
