Omiffi OF THE BLOCKADE If CERTAIi
WI THER* PORTS.
Frooelamation by the President of
the United States of America.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereat, by the proclamation of the Pres
ident, of the Eleventh day of April last, cer
tain parts of the United States therein speci
fied, Which had previously been subject to
blockade, were for objects of public safety
declared, in conformity with previous special
legislation of Congress, to be closed against
foreign commerce during the natioual will, to
lie thereafter expressed and made known by
the President; and whereas events and
circumstances have since occurred,
whiclt, iu my judgment render it ex
pedient to remove that restriction, except as
to the ports of Galveston, La Salle, Brazos
de Santiago, Point Isaliel and Browns
ville, in the State of Texas; now, therefore,
be it known that I, ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States,” do hereby
declare that the ports atoresaid, not excepted
as above, shall be open to foreign commerce
from and after the fii st Hay of J uly next;
that commercial intercourse with the said
iiorts may from that time be carried on, sub
ect to the laws of the United States, and in
pursuance of such regulations ns may be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.
If. however, any vessel from a foreign
port shall enter any of the before-named
excepted ports in the State of Texas, she
will continue to be held liable to the penal -
lies prescribed by the act of Congress, ap
proved on the 13th day of July, 18C1, and the
persons on board of her, to such penalties as
may lie incurred, pursuant to the laws of war.
for trading or attempting to trade with an
enemy : aud I, Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, do hereby declare ami
make known; that the United States of
America do henceforth disavow to all per
sons trading or attempting to trade iu any of
the United States in violation of the laws
thereof, all pretence of belligerent rights
and privileges; and give notice, from
the date of this proclamation,all such offend
ers will be held and dealt with as pirates. It
is also ordered Hint all restrictions upon trade
heretofore imposed in the te/ritory of the
U uited States east ol the Mississippi River,
save those relating to contraband ol war, to
the reservation of tbe rights of the United
'States, to property purchased in the territory
ot an enemy, and to the twenty five per
cent, upon purchases of cotton, are removed.
All the provisions of the Internal Revenue
law will be carried into effect under the
proper officer.

The City Currency.
(From the August* Chronicle.)
We invite especial attentiou of out* readers
to an article signed by our worthy Mayor,
headed “To the Public,’’ published elsewhere.
The article is an outspoken one. In it His
Honor tells the people the true condition of
affairs. He tells them exactly how matters
stand; the.present financial status of the city,
and her ability to pay any debt it may be
thought proper or advisable by the authori
ties to contract.
There is another thing the public is plain
ly advised of. City taxes will soon have to
lie paid, and the city certificates of indebted
ness will come very handy to pay them with.
Those who are now endeavoring to bring
them into discredit will wish had more
of them when the city tax collector gives
them a ca'l.
There is also another thing the public is
very forcibly reminded of. It is this. Those
parties who obtain of the city leave aud li
cence to do business, are reminded that they
must either take the city certificates of in
debtedness at par, without any wry faces at
that, or thev wilt be without a, licence to do
business. We are glad to notice that His
Honor takes this position, and we trust he
will enforce the proposed punishment with
out mercy. It is no time to show any clem
ency to civil doers, and we hope none will
be shown.
With much pleasure we record the fact
that the military authorities have sanctioned
the issuing of these bills. This ought to con
vince the community that the certificates of
indebtedness are good without any further
proof.
There is one thing certain, the city of Au
gust has always maintained her credit, aud
she always will. He finances have been
most ably managed by our present energe
tic mayor, aud as long as he has the super
vision of them they will continue to be.
There is another thing very certain. Any
man who refuses to take the certificates of
indebtedness at tbeir face is a public enemy,
and should be treated as such. Yes, more.
He is a heartless, soulless cormorant, devoid
ol all feelings; devoid of all correct prin
ciples; devoid of all qualities which go to
make up a good citizen. If such narrow
minded specimens of humanity would only
leave this section of the world at once, the
public would not miss them, but would be
benefitted much by their absence,
In conclusion we say—Let every citizen
who has the welfaie of the community at
heart take the City Certificates of Indebted
ness at par hereafter.
Highly Important Order.
General Ordkr No. 4.-~We call the spe
cial attention ol our readers to General Order
No. 4, to be found in the official column.
The first paragraph gives some of the condi
tions of the terms of surrender between
General Sherman and General Johnston. It
will be seen that General Molineux notifies
the citizens that all the property of the late
so-called Confederate government in the
hands of its officials in his command must
be given up.
Those entitled to paroles can hereafter ob
tain them at the City Hall.
The military authorities announce that the
city being iu tbeir possession, all civil func
tions are suspended, All officials within the
limits of this command who have any prison
ers in tlieir charge are required to turn them
over to the Provost Marshal with list of
charges against them.
The Mayor and City Council can hereafter
only perform such duties in conformity with
the municipal laws of the place, as may be
permitted from the headquarters.
Lieut. Col. W. M. Rexford, 181st N. Y. V.,
is hereby appointed Provost Judge of the
Post of Augusta, aud will have jurisdiction
of all cases and misdemeanors which will
hereafter arise, or which have arise since the
occupation of this city by the U. S. forces
Whenever the Mayor or City Council are
permitted to take cognizance of a case, they
must consult with him.
Persons occupying buildings owned by i
disloyal persons must settle the rents with !
the Post Quartermaster or vacate the same, j
All cotton and other confiscable property j
in the limits of this command is placed uu- j
der guard, and will not be removed, except- |
ing by Government, until tbe titles of tbe
same shall have been established.
Lieut. Fisher is relieved of his duties of
Post Quartermaster and will take charge of
wagon trains, fuel and forage.
Lieut. C. O. Dorraqre, of the Twenty-
Eighth lowa Yols., has been appointed Post

dred and fifty-ninth N. Y., One hundred and

Twenty-second lowa, and Twenty-eight
lowa, belonged to Gen. Moliueux’s Brigade.

brave and gallant commander.
