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. ’--"s \ In witness whereot, I have here - i.. a.- nnt ,° hand, and caused tbe ( ‘ \ llie United States to be Done at the city of VY ashiugtou, this twen ty second day of May, in tbe year of our Loro, one thousand eight hundred and sixty five, and of tbe indepeudeuce of the United Stales of America the eighty-ninth ANDREW JOHNSON.

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 Quartermaster. • Arrival of Mere Troops. Seven regiments of U. S. troops arrived yesterday, Five of the regiments—One hun dred and fifty-ninth N. Y., One hundred and thirty-first N. Y., Thirteenth Connecticut, Twenty-second lowa, and Twenty-eight lowa, belonged to Gen. Moliueux’s Brigade. The two other regiments—Twenty-fourth lowa and One hundred and Twenty-eight New York are from another command. Tbe troops are ail veterans and have seen much seivice. As they marched down Broad street they looked finely aud showed that they had been well drilled. Gen. Moineux may well feel proud of his brigade. They have been in niaoy a hard fought battle, and richly merit the reputa tion they have won under the lead of their brave and gallant commander. New Postmaster at Macon. .Tas 11. R. Washington.

A strong guard is now kept over them. {.From our Extra of This Month ijr.] ARRIVAL OF THE ARACrO. Dates to the 25th. THE STON E W ALL’S CAREER ENDED.

Ccrrkncv in Atlanta.— Some parties in .Atlanta who thought themselves able to fight the government, discredited its issues. The Commandant of the post, §Col. B* B. Eggleston, at once corrected the error they had fallen into, and “cut them down a peg or two." He issued an order to the effect that United States notes must be made the base of price current at that Post and in the vicinity, and any merchant or dealer in pro duce or provisions or other supplies, and the keeper of any saloonor restaurant refusing to take the same at par, would he arrested and brought before the Provost Marshal. }f people will not allow common sense to guide them nowa days, they will liaye to learn wisdom trom sad experience. The U. S. Government has proved itself strong enough to protect itself in every part icular ; and judging from the past we are quite sure it will do so.
