In order to afford the employes of Ths He- ald establishment an opportunity to participate in the celebration to-daytherewill be no paper issued from this office tomorrow. Tli CIbrmtlM T y " From the indications and the feeling'mani fatl in the city yesterday and late" last eyen- ing, the celebration to-day is to be enjoyed as a great oration and jubilee. 'The first offered to flor people within tbej past four years, it is not larprising if they should naturally feel more interested upon this than upon any former oc casion of the kind. ; The proiramme as pub luhed for the order of exercises at the theatre? leems to be well understood and was selected with a proper regard for the expected mass who will be present to assist in its being carried out creditably. The day was usherei in by the booming of cannon at midnight. Peal after peat Tent the air telling through these throats of brass that after four years the great national day of independence was at hand. The soldiers at the different camps around, the city, and the nary will also celebrate it in their cwn way. The vessels in the harbor are also to be decorated at 'sunrise and ' the nary will fire the national salute at 12 o'clock. To-morrow night . the dramatic company as sisted by the Glee Club will give an entertain- ment at the theatre, which will consist in part of national airs, recitations, &c. Preparations I Lave been arranged for a full house for them. The Okdbb. The older from Post Headquar ters relating to the wearing of the Confederate uniform, published in to-day's paper, will not afiftct so far as we are aware, any.one in this city, and it publication was no doubt made to, give notice in the event that some should be ex posed on the streets unknowingly. The good ' m . ' - , . ,,. . . . .. . nseof the paroled soldiers-arriving at their homes in this place insetting aside their late uniforms and substituting that of the citizen has been noticed and properly appreciated by those once differing with them. By this action there was a respect shown from them to the ' powers that be" that will always command their respect aa gentlemen. There was not that pomposity ; and display of buttons and lace, exhibited here that there. was elsewhere, and as a consequence there is now a better feeling existing among these soldiers of both sides, towards each other, then there is in other places where the uniform was indiscriminately worn While there cannot . possibly any harm result from wearing such a luit, yet there certainly can be no. good. In some parls of the country it was generally worn because considered obnoxious to . the federals, and of course a gratification to the wearer. This has been allowed at these places, to give ample time for its substitution for others and an order similar to the one published to-day has been issued after a reasonable lapse of time. In Richmond, the guard, in many places, had to cut the ensignia from the persons ot the wearers.' In this place, it is gratifying 'to know that no such a duty will be given them. " . . j mt i , i t The Relief Association. For the wee' ending June 30th, the report of the relief assos ciation shows the number,; receiving rations to be two hundred and ninety-two ' families con- taining nine hundredi and sixty-six persons, an increase over the previous week of five families I and fortywo persons. From the number of j people now daily flocking to the city this num ber is expected to increase to a greater extent duriag the present " week. Every issue day some new name is handed into the committee rooms lor their bount,' aud n every instance it is proven to be a new comer. The poorer classes from a distance had. far, better remain Where they are, if they can get bread, instead of coming here to. fall upon the rcharity of the oterburthened city. Everything will be and should be done for those that are now here but it is doubted whether this system can be much longer sustained unless other assistance is ren- dered from a duTerent'quarter. Aside from the vast amount of labor performed by the commit tee, which has always been done cheerfully, the original question of supplies for the poor will shortly be upon them. If advice could be given these people -with any good effect they should be told to keepaway from here, and those who are here and belong elsewhere to get away to their former homes as quick as . possible, or taake arrangements for their own maintenance.

Major General j Dix yesterday submitted to District Attorney Hall an important order to the dispoition of two citizens of this city who were recently tried and convicted by a military commission, but who were released by oraer oi ine irresiaenc ior reasons wnicn will be stated. I , It seems that two men, named John McNeil I and Wmi. Edsell, both citizens of New York, were tried before a military commission in .Washington on a charge of obtaining money 1 under talse pretences. It is said that they represented that they were officers in the em- blov ot the covernment authorized to arrest deserters, which was not the fact:- They were con vieted of .that offence by thej military tri bunal, and Edsell was sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the ; penitentiary, wnile Mc- Neil (who was the confederate of Edsell) was ordered to pay a fine of two hundred an4 fifty dollars, and be imprisoned until the hue was paid. On the decision being submitted to tbe President, he disapproved of the findings and sentence of the military "commission and gave directions to turn over Edsell and' McNeil to the civil authorities of New TSprk county, to whom alone they Were amenable for the of fence with which they were charged ; As soon as the papers wer received at the District Attorne v s office, -0.r. Gunning ' b. Bedford prepared the complaint' and proceed ed to make it before a police, magistrate. The matter, will be duly investigated, and if an ex amination, of the charges preferred against these men sustain the allegation,1 they will be tried in the Court of - General, Sessions, for the violation of a statute of the State of New York.. .,' - ;:VvUi-fV'---v S ' .

It will be remembered that just a year ago District Attorney Hall made an (elaborate ar-. eument before Judg Russel on the question of federal and State authority, when the ar- rest oi Gfr,eral vX lor suppressing ine cer tain morning papers was before the court. He contended at that time for tbe supremacy of civil over military law in the States which were not in reoeinon : out m conuuiuu oi th'e country at that period was such that it was deemed prudent to avoid any serious dif ficulty between the federal and State govern ments : This decision of President Johnson is, therefore, very important, inasmuch as it is the firet official recognition of the views ex pressed by Mr. Hall, when the matter was up for judicial determination our courts. .i , vww. vw trmrr I GREAT FIBE IX QUEBEC.

Mrs. Davis and family weie travelling 'towards Florida with a view of " running the klocfcade from the Florida ceast. It Va Mrs, Davis' intention to take the children to England, and then to rejoin her liusband in Texas, where they hoped to protract the strugglo. 'k Lieutenant Eisan was one ef t he guard of Mrs. Davis1 party. . They were in Wilcox county, Ga., May 7, when" the President joined them. ;They travelled .together., that day. On the mornibg of the 8th.. he parted from tbem for Texas, on 4 horseback. After traveilinir twenty miles he learned that a band of jay- hawkers bad been organized to plunder the party left behind of their train. Anxiety for the safety of bis family induced him to remain th whjh tfa did on . They travelled in company on the vtb, and all camped together ' that night. Meanwhile the lourtn licnigan cavalry naa oecn on their track. On the night of the Oth this regi ment surprised two scouts who had been left in the rear to watch for pursuit, but who had been overcome by fatigue and fallen asleep. The pursuers rode all night, and at daybreak on the morning of the 10th surprised tbe en campment and captured the whole party without firing a gun. . ' . tiiOn the surprise Mr. uJ)avis threw a cloak over his shoulders and started for his-horse, about forty steps from his tent. As he set out Mrs. Davis threw a veil over his hat- He had got but a few steps when a cavalryman rode -up, and presenting his gun to him, cried out, I; kn6w you, you old scoundrel ; I have seen yon before ; surrender." (It seems that he bad lived in Richmond 'since the war began.) As he stopped Mr. Davis,; Mrs. Davis ran to him, and throwing 1ier arms around , his neck begged them to spare his life.

( I am here, fellow-citizeps, among other caus es, to tell you whut I have learned, from per sonal information, that the United States gov eminent is most anxious to relieve' you fro a military rule, and allow you the full privileges of self-rule at the earliest possible moment. But the government. cannot secure you this improvement without your own co-operation, and it is for you to decide how soon you will avail yourselves of the opportunity effared to thus benefit yourselves. . . - The method is a prompt return to your al- 1 Iegiance to the United States government. JNow. it l.. my ODinion. Dased on my own observation, that the people of Georgia, as a mass, are anxious to return to their allegiance and bring the State back U the Union. Ap plause. . :. .. . J , , The mam question is, how is this return te J - ftM i ' . a be made ? The principal Condition prescribed is that of an oath, of a required form, to be ta ken by all. 'This oath ia not required as am annoyance, or to humiliate those taking it. but that the goats may b separated from the sheep, and that tbe government may know its frit nds from its enemies. When the oath t.as been taken, and in return pardons have. been"1; granted, then those who nave proved themselves to be friends of the Union can or ganize a Sute government, and arail them-" selves of all its benefits, j " How is this to be done? How is the oath to be taken ? What is the oath ? These are questions that may be ask,'ed. A great many persons have already taken theoath of amnesty. The rule at Washing ton 13 bat it must be done again, and man; necessary. T did not know this until I arriv- ed in Savannah. This evening I have bad time to mvestigate the subjett, and I think I uarc Mwrmiucu we reai, reason, ine lro clamation of Amnesty fasued bv Preiident Lincdln In 1803 or. l8C4-4the'exact date is not imp .rtant(a . voice-It jwas ia-Deembr' iojvj -"pcnueu upon aii:oiienccs And miidc meahors previous to that date.

These acU tbe proclamation of President Lincoln on Id not cover. Theae offances. must , still be o counted for. Thus a nclr oath is reouired and the citizens must take it in order to corer the win. e ground, placc ithemseUea in good standing with the government, and obtain complete protection of prdperty. Now, when an individual not excvptj-d in the proclama tion takes tbe amnesty oath, he at once be comes a citezeti Again, and acquires all tbe bpncfiw of loyalty ; bis property is free from confiscation, hit per?on exempted from arre.-t for participation in tha rebellion; and he can g to. the polls aod cast his ballot - - There are indeed eerUi( exceptions, not of individuals, but of classes, so as to reach ub noxious par ties. bat it the object of set ting as de tbsie excepted; classca l Let me assure you that this discrimination it not for tbe object of lnflictxng penalties it Is not a ' measure of proscription, j. It ia to be utd simply as a means of separating the guilty from the innocent for singling out the real offender from the Wameless,, and reaching particular indmduals. tThose included ia these classes also can make special application for pardon. Now I am confident that not less than nine-tenths of those persons included (a me r xcepieu ciaow win j Do pardoned upon ask re? only at appreh nding the principal rttponil- ble offenders, lbo clemency of the goverrt ment is then wide sweeping and all-embracinf andawaitayoa with open arma Why not come forward then and -take the oath ? It is readily done, and what follows? I will explain. My instructions from the Capital are to prcw eeed at once, when a sufficient number have taken. the oath, to convene a convention of ths people.. I cannot do this, however, unless a respectable portion, of the people . come for ward and take the oath and qualify themselves as voters. My request is that, yon will aid me in' bringing Georgia j back to the Union. When the Convention meets, it will frame a Constitution for the State, adapted tojtbe ntw order of things, provide for the election of a -Governor; of members 'of the Legislature, and Judges ot. tie Co; irts, superior and inferior."
