New Orleans, May 3dL-By instructions from the Presi-dent, General Canby has released the town from beingheld by the military, and turned it over to the UnitedStates Marshal. The President orders Canby not to inter-fere with the United States court.

Washington, May 2d.-The War Department has issuedan order that hereafter civilians shall not be tried by mili-tary courts, where civil tribunals are in existence; the orderdoes not apply to contractors. The following answer tothe Governor of North Carolina is published, dated Exec-utive Mansion, April 27th: "I am directed by the Presi-dent to inform you that the proclamation of April 2d wasnot intended to'interfere with military commissions then orpreviously organized, or trials even pending; GeneralRuger has been instructed to proceed with the trial ofMajor Gee, but before the executive sentence to report fullyto the War Department.

Acting Private Secretary. rChicago, May 3d.-The press comments on the recon-

struction report show great diversity of opinion, and whilemost Republican papers are willing to accept it, all have tsome fault to find. The New York " Evening Post "' says,suppose the fall elections unfavorable, it may then be surethat the next Congress will not only withdraw these con-ditions, but will repeal the test oath and the civil rightsact, that is, our own imprudence will have sacrificed thegreat objects already gained; is it not far wiser for Con-gress to make sure of what it has done, to cry enough, forthis time, and be content; it has secured the supremacy oflaw and justice, and admit at once all who can take theprescribed oath. The "Commercial Advertiser" says theplan is a lame attempt to ratify what good the Presidenthas done, substituting for it a scheme that will be goodenough tin after the election. The Springfield "Repub-lican " says if the committee expect the Northern States tosustain them in imposing such conditions, we fear they willbe greatly disappointed; it is not easy to win success toany party measure which bears on its face evidence that ithas no other or better purpose. The Chicago " Tribune"regrets that the plan does not include negro suffrage, butas a policy of sure and cautious political expediency, adop-ted merely with a view of carrying the election, it regardsthe plan as very strong. The New York " Times" says,while most of the propositions are just and sound, its lead-ing purpose, namely, the election of the next President bya divided Union is monstrouslyunjust, unwise andimprac-ticable, and if persisted in by Congress, will lead to disas-trous consequences. The Albany "Journal" says, if theconditions imposed are seemingly hard, the South itself isto blame. The St. Louis " Democrat " says it is scarcelyto be hoped that a plan less objectionable can receive therequisite two thirds vote of Congress. The New York" Tribune" is disappointed in believing that timid counselshave overthrown negro suffrage, while the party might aswell have carried the game as the fame. The Boston" Advertiser " says. the opinion of the committee that thisis the best that can be done, must be deemed decisive, andwe are glad to see indications of a general disposition inUnion umen to forego personal views and unite to secure theadoption of the report.

Washington. May 'Ld.-A dispatch front CommodoreRodgers to the Navy Department, dated Valparaiso, March31st, says : " Upon my arrival at this port with the squad-ron, I called upon the English Admiral, who informed mehe intended topreventany sudden bombardment and wouldonly stiffer it after ample notice. To this I made no reply,but having considered the matter, I sought occasion thenext day to say that I would join him in preventing a sud-den bombardment, and would also go as much further ashe chose. I assured him that the Monadnock could takecare of the Numanicia, and that it was absolutely certainthat in not less than thirty seconds nor more than thirtyminutes the Monadnock, entirely unassisted, would leaveonly the mastheads of the Numanicia above water, andthat the wooden vessels, English and American. couldlookout for the Spanish wooden vessels. The English Admiralsaid, at first, that he would go with me, for I plainlydeclared that I would not take a step without him; I said1 had no intention of becoming a cats-paw to draw Euro-pean chestnuts out of the fire, and then have the powers Iserved laughing at my singed paws, while they enjoyedthe fruits of my temerity. The English Admiral finallydetermined to throw the responsibility upon the EnglishMinister, who did not choose to act in the premises. Eng-lish cooperation having failed, no separate action on mypart was taken, as none had been proposeal When I wasassured that the English Admiral was determined not toresist the bombardment, I called upon him and said that asI did not choose to drift into a collision where Ihad no pur-pose to collide, I should move my vessel out of the Span-lard's way. This intention I communicated verbally to theSpanish Admiral."Spanish Admral."

Washington. May 3d.-James Partridge, Minister to SanSalvador, has resigned. The President has withdrawn the inomination of Nicholas Smith, of Kansas, as Minister toGreece. The reconstruction committee has closed exam-ining witnesses and submitting all the remaining testi-mony; the entire amount is to be printed imminediately andwill make several large volumes. United States MarshalJackson, of Wisconsin, has been removed, and General iCassius Fairchild has been nominated his successor; it isrumored that William A. Howard, postmaster at Detroit.has been removed; Congressman Eldridre boasts thatthere will be a gcnerml ,weeping among offtice-holders inWisconsin, A ho (do not support the President's policy.-Tom Florence, sectional Union, closed an editorial, thisevening, on Congress, as follows: The men had betterbeware: they are not a legal Congress, but an unconstitu-tional body of usurpers; the country feels the great errorthe President committed in recognizing them at all in theirself-important rump condition; a little Cromwellianismru isjust the thing that is needed now, and there are two hun-dred thousand Democrats north who would back that kind iof pluck with a good relish."

Chicago, May 4th.-There has been a terrible riot of thelow whites of Memphis, directed against the negroes onTuesday, they murdered fifteen of them; -ou Wednesday.the blacks sought for arms to defend themselves at FortPickering, but were warned off: at 9 a. in., probably fifteenhundred blacks were assembled at South street; rumorswere started that they were going to march into the cityand burn it; the low whites turned out. robbed the gun-stores, and attacking the unarmed blacks, slew nearly ascore of them; one white man was killed; the negroes tiedto the woods, after which stray ones were hunted and shotdown, and conflagration and pillage commenced; on Thurs-day, General Stoneman issued a proclamation forbiddingall assemblies of white or colored men, excepting the police,so long as they could be relied on as preservers of thepeace; the Mayor, John Park, was on a terrible drunk allthe time; only a handful of troops were in garrison, andthe police were utterly unreliable. A "Tribune " specialsays, only vagabond whites participated in the riot, andall the best citizens depreciate it, but were powerless torepress it; General Stoneman has authorized the 154threbel infantry to reorganize, and will arm them to keep thepeace; the dead bodies of negroes lay along South streetas they fell; the negroes went beyond the city limits,homeless and defenseless; the riot was unprovoked andcarried on by the lowest whites, while the drunken Mayorbabbled of insurrection and armed a posse of degradedfollowers. The "Times" special says, all was quiet at9 o'clock this (Thursday) evening, except rumors of anintended negro uprising to-night, which are only the imag-inations of guilty consciences, caused by the vandalism oflast night. It Barned's Banking Company, of London, hasfailed for 325 000. Conkling and Blaine's imbrogliorelieves the arid surface of Eastern politics; Conklingdenounced the Provost-Marshal's Bureau as a sink of cor-ruption; Fry shows up Conkling as corrupt; Conklingcalls for an investigation, and the Speaker nominates acommittee composed of Shellabarger, Windom, Boyer,Cook and Warner; an interesting report will probably bemade. The Senate, in executive session, rejected the nom-ination of Frank Blair as collector of internal revenue forSt. Louis-ayes, 8; noes, 21; also laid on the table thenomination of Rosean for Minister to Honduras. TheHouse, on Wednesday, rejected Schenck's army bill-ayes,36; noes, 83; and on Thursday reconsidered and recommitted it to the committee. During Wednesday's debate,Schenck stated that 29,059 volunteers, white and colored,were in the service on the 25th of April, and a trifle over30,000 regulars. The House, on Thursday, passed the billadmitting Colorado-yeas, 80; nays, 55; this quiek resitsurpadeverybody, the bill being taken froeen the Speak-er's table, the Hoe refead to table it by agglast 10,theM reafsed to refIr it so the cosmitsaft by 44 to 74, thenrpeald the aUmedsAmet by Washbese, of Bllmos0 requir-inx the word white to be swrtskea oA of thse coettUes,- 7., a.6& tem page" UK hM -= above; tbmm ato be a - appreb~o5 that tho Prosdeat wilTGUt.

Washington May 4th.-The House debated andthe bill creating the grade of General in the army. res. 1Henderson, Lane, Porter and Hancock, appointed by the Iconvention, have arrived, and laid before the President anofcial copy of the new constitution and ordinances; JudgeHanook addressed the President, saying his wise adpatriotic course in behalf of equal rights to all sections ofthe country, has revived fresh hope in many despondinghearts, that the same generation which has experienced themost terrible shock of civil war, will see the constitutionably restored. The President expressed himself glatiedto learn that the usanimous feeling of the people of Texashad asccepted the result of the war: he said he had theutmost conidence in ultimate administration, and that timeand patience would solve the problem.

Cincinnati, 0., May 4th.-The convention beld at Knoxville yesterday, adopted resolutions in fAvor of a separateState government for East Tennessee, and appointed acommittee to bring the question before the Legislature.

Jndge Samuel Rogers, who presided, said this was but an

adjourned meeting of the convention at Greenrille, duringthe dark hours of '61. It is no secession movement, but

expresses the devout wish of the people for a separateState.

WE see in the Placerville (Cal.) " Mirror" that the srum-mit tunnels of the Dutch Flat (Central Pacific) Railroad ohave been abandoned, the ironstone being so hard that no eprogress could be made. Another survey has been com--pleted. and a month's work has proved that the rock hereis worse than the other. Nothing now remains, says the" Mirror" but to go up grades of one hundred and fiftyfeet to the mile, into regions where snow lies forty feet deepfor seven months in the year, or else to give up the much cvaunted route altogether. The " Mirror" is down on theSacramento " Union" for not giving its subscribers such apiece of news. t

TUNNELIN•.-The assignments, etc., for the great SutroTunnel, which is intended to strike the Comstock at a greatdepth, near Virginia City, Nevada, is completed, and thedeeds cover one hundred full skins of parchment as largeas the Sacramento "Union" sheet. The pendant sealslook like the old additions to feudal grants. The CarsonINevada) " Appeal " says that if this tunnel were not econ-structed, the consequence would be that all deep miningon the ledge must cease within ten years, but that successto Sutro ensures success to Nevada. The truth is thatNevada minus Comstock leaves sage-brush.

REDUCED FREIGHT. - The Owyhee "Avalanche" ofApril 21st, contains the following item. We suppose thefreighting is on the principle of a free lunch. i.e. "throw-ing a sprat to catch a whale": " The California SteamNavigation Company and the Pacific Railroad Companyare carrying Idaho freight free of charge to the presentterminus of the railroad. The Teamsters' Association havetaken freight at 14 cents per pound for carriage to thiscountry. Merchants, millmen. everybody, think of it.Freight from San Francisco to Owyhee at 14 cents perpound. and taken at these rates in March. The shippingreceipts have already come to hand, and there is no mistakeabout this business. Men and companies representing mil-lions of capital have taken hold of this matter. Orders forgoods, to come by this route, will be promptly forwarded.Reliable assurance is given that within a few months freightwill be dispatched here at 7 cents. Ship via Sacramentoand get your goods cheaply, quickly and safely freighted.Things are encouraging. Wouldn't it be well for the O. S.N. Company to build another steamboat on Snake Riverfor Owyhee trade? The public will take notice that ship-ping receipts sent here from Umatilla, show that 20 to 22cents are the rates by slow freight."

Prospects of Baunack.

BANNACK, May 11th, 18.66.

ED. POST: The news from the East is encouraging andreliable, During the present season we shall see the begin- (ning of better times in Bannack. Mr. Hopkins, of the But- tterfield Company (No. 6 Dacotah) is expected here by the25th inst.; and Mr. Purple, of the same Company, was at aAtchison, last month, shipping supplies. and has a mill enroute for Bannack, to be set up on the tHuron, which issupposed to be one of the best silver lodes in the Blue Wing Idistrict, and was sold for 8100,000. Professor Eaton hassold the Wide West, in the same district, for a large sum.,and is on his way to Bannack via California. He hasshipped his furnaces, material and machinery, which areto be put up here and at Rattlesnake, for the purpose ofsmelting silver ores, some of which he tried last fall, before Ireturning East, with astonishing success.

Messrs. McDonald, Clark, Gridley, Sullivan. Thompsonand Governor Edgerton have made large sales of property.It is reported that Mr. Sullivan has sold his own propertyfor 980,000, Governor Edgerton for $25,000 and Gridleyfor $15,000.-

Mr. Sullivan has been one of our most energetic pros-pectors, and we are glad to learn that he has, at last, beenrewarded for his labors and privations.

Mr. Hopkins writes that a million of dollars will bespentin Bannack, by capitalists, this season, in the purchase ofproperty, and advises not to send any more East for sale.This course we advocated in a former letter, and advisedcapitalists to purchase directly from the honest prospectors,who have labored herd and suffered many privations, todevelop their property, and to prove its value, before offer-ing it for sale; and we assure them that they will never

rue their bargain."Selling to speculators and brokers,' who pick up thou-

sands of feet of wild.car and thrust it upon the Eastern mar-ket at ruinous prices, has a tendency tk lower the value ofour property-doubtless the best of the kind in the world-and to retard the development and advancement of ourcountry for years. Let us have our market at home sellnothing but property that is proved up, and capitalists willcome here seeking investment; no one will be deceived;confidence will be sure; our rich mines will be rapidlydeveloped, and the country soon attain prosperity.

Mr. Reem writes that millions wjll be spent here thisseason, for property, furnaces and mills. Mr. R. is one ofour best prospectors, and he and his partner (Mr. Bender)sold $60.000 worth of property, last falL

Messrs. Bender, Estler, Godfrey and others have formed,perhaps, the most extensive company for mining that hasever been organized in the East for this district. Thiscompany has issued a very important pamphlet, in whichthey set forth the value of our leads, having had themtested in every possible way,' by the ablest assayers in theEast; and usually with the most satisfactory results.When we are permitted to have a careful perusal of thiswork, we will give the facts to the public. Poor men mayyet learn the value of this property, and it is our object tobnefit them as much as lies in our power. When we Bitin that, it will be when we tarn aside from our legitimatet pursuits to blacken character, and to curse the country by

sections.Mr. Fowler, of New York, has, also, purchased property

r here, and is now at home purchasing and shippingma-

i bcinery. His early return is oonldently expected Theret can be no reasonable doubt of the value of the propertyi which he has selected.

Professor A. G. McComb, Superintendent of the Gold[ and Silver Mining Company of Montafla, will also returnt early, to begin operations on their property. He intepds

to have the best machinery, and to adopt the best processesknown fir the separation of the precious metals. This is aworking company, solely; not having a dollar of stock forsale, but ealy a working capital of 8100,000; and is !sriedof the best and ablest men of New York. They mean set
