Contract..
We publish ihefollomiog letter, a*J*
the Southern Recorder, on this .subject,
from Washington CHj for public informa
tion. J*ef»0n8 making bids for mail con
tracts can see. what will be allowed for
Boch service.. It is, we learn, a settled
principle with the Federal Government to
take no bid over the rates of 1861, to de
preciate its own currency. Persons mak
ing bids are requested to address the au
thorities at-Washington City:
Post Office Department, 1
Contract Office, >-
Washington,* Sept. 13, 1865.)
Sir; The Department is in daily receipt
of proposals from various parties for the
performance of mail service iu Georgia,
in which the bidders name rates of pay
above tlic maximum fixed by the 1 os>mas
ter General to be allowed for temporary
service. The rates so fixed were deter
mined by the average pay in 1861 of va
rious routes in the feouth and Southwest,
taken indiscriminately, and are as follows:
For once a week service, £8 per mile
per annum.
For twice a week service, $15 per mile
per annum. . •
For three times a week service, $22 per
mile per annum.
As many of the proposes referred to
come througf the Executive office, I have
thought proper to give you this informa
tion, adding the request that jt may be
communicated, whenever opportunity of
fers, to such persons us desire to Obtain 'citizens, one to be elected by the white
contracts for temporary mail service, in
asmuch as the Department will consider
no proposal which names a larger rate
than that above specified.
l T ery respectfully,
. Your obedient .servant,
Geo. W. McClellan,
Second Asu’t P. M. General,
lion. Jame3 Johnson, Provisional Gover
nor of Georgia, Milli.dgeviile, Ga.
The Oath of Loyalty.—In July, 18G3, a
law Was passed by Congress requiring the
following oath ot “every person elected
or appointed to any office cf honor or
emolument, civil, military or naval, or ary
other department of the public service, ex
cept the President of the United States,’’
to-wit:
“ 1 solemnly swear that I have never
voluntariiy borne arms against the United
States since 1 have been a citizen thereof ;
that 1 have voluntarily given no aid, coun
tenance, conned or encouragement to per
sons engaged in armed hostility thereto;
that 1 have neither sought nor accepted,
nor attempted to exercise the functions of
any office whatever under any authority
or pretended authority in hostility to the
United Strtes; that I have not yielded a
voluntary support to any pretended gov
ernment, authority, power or constitution
within the United dtates hostile or inimi
cal thereto; and I du further swear that,
to the best of my knowledge and ability,
1 will support and defend the constitution
of the United States,” &c.
This is the oath which the members of
the last Congress were required to take,
and which, unless changed, the members
of the new Cougress will lie required also
to take. Tire Republicans have a large
majority iq both Houses. Now the whole
matter rests with them. We are in their
bands yet. Unless they consider the Pre
sident’s amnesty as wiping out all offen
ces connected with the late revolution, or
modify the oath in some way, it will be
very difficult for any man who may be
elected at "the South to gain admission.—
It should be the aim of every Southern
State to choose men as members of Con
gress, whose antecedents will be tbe least
objectionable. Better select those who
will stand some chance of being admitted,
than those who stand none.
A Patriotic Letter fboitGbk. Lee.—The
Index, of Petersburg, publishes the sub
joined extract from * private letter to one
of its editors, from Gen. Lee:
“ It should be the object of all to avoid
controversy, to allay passion, give free
scope to reason and every kindly feeling.
By doing this and-epcouraging our citi
zens to engage in the duties of life with
their whole heart and mind, with the de
termination not to be turned aside by
tbooghts of the past, or fears of the fatnre,
our country will cot only be restored in
material prosperity, but will be advanced
in science, virtue and religion.
, Wishing you every success,
I am, most truly yours,
R. E. Lee.”
A meeting of negroes was held at
Gloucester Court House, Virginia, a few
days since. The prevailing idea with
those . in attendance wa3 that they were-
to have lands given them. A letter to
the Fredericksburg Era says:
The agent of the Freedrcen’s Bureau
also made a speech to them, 3nying that
he wished to disabuse their minds of the
impression thaUthey* were to own lands
except by purchase. I hear that the ne
groes afterwards called him a d—d “ee-
cesh,” and said they “intended to report
him.”
Maj. E. E. Howard," commissioner of
Freetlmen, has authorized the establish
ment of a court for the examination into
all difficulties arising between the freed-
men and their employers. The Assistant
Superintendent of the bureau, with two
citizens and the other by the freedmen,
are to constitute this Court, the jurisdic
tion of which is' limited to the cane indi
cated above. In furtherance of this plan
General Howard has beeu making the
tour of Virginia.
A dispatch to the Cincinnati Enquirer
from Washington saye:
It is evident that the popular current
is settling strongly in favor of the adnr’n-
istration policy, and it is thought that its
opponents will not be able to raise a cor
poral’s guard in the rle*t Congress.—
Sumner in the Senate, and Thad. Stevens
in the House, w ill be left almost alone.
A Washington dispatch to the Cincin
nati Gazelle says that prominent Demo
cratic politicians, who are engaged in
figuring upon the character of the next
Congress, say that there will be a major
ity of ten in favor of admitting tiie South
ern members who come prepared to take
the test oath.
Who can take it?
The Rice Crop.—We regret to hear
•that the rice crop of Georgia this year
will be almost a.i entire failure. In the
region raising this crop, the negroes have
been free from compulsion during the
whole year, and this failure of the rice
crop is the first fruit (or lack of limit) of
the experiment of free black Jabor in
Georg ia. — Col. Enqa irer..
A Massacnuseetts regiment is claiming
tiie honor of having killed Stonewall Jack-
son. God pity tbe^ioul that is willing to
have rest upon it the stain of killing such
a man. He was, however through mistake
killed by some of-his own men; so the
seekers after the doubtf ul honor, can rest
easy on that score.

The Military Respect the Law.—There
are two very significant and important
facts growing out of the war—the first
of which is the quiet "and carhest manner
in which so many officers and soldiers re
turn to the post of duty; and the second,
the respect shown for law and order by
all the brave and good men who have
held command in our armies. Upon the
last point, tho Round Take of this week
thus particularizes:
“There is hardly an instance to be
found throughout the whole war of milita
ry insubordination or contempt of Die
civil authorities by an educated military
officer. Grant, Sherman, Thomas, Mc-
Clellau, Buell, Lee, Johnston—all other
leading generals, tforth and South—have
been noted for theirabsclnte subordination
to the ruling powers. On the other hand
those who hava shown the least regards
for the restraints of civil authority, have
been in every instance, lawyers. Stan
ton, Folt, Butler, Sfchencb, Carrington
and Wallace are all lawyers. Each of
these has come out of the war without any
military reputation, and each has been
conspicuous for the utter disregard for all
legal and civil restraints.
(foop Mdvice.—A correspondent of th§
Philadelphia Ledger states that Rev. Dr.
Newman, of the Northern Methodist Epis
copal Church, has had an interview with
President Johnson “ with reference to se-
curing, if possible, one of the Methodist
churches ol New Orleans, for the use of
those wh° have ftteuded upon his preach-
Sto* that
“it •tgoment thS
* it JK? " ght one of the
three Methodist Episcopal churches of
that ci^ should be set apart for,” and “that
the edifice should be kaown as the oroper-
thj of the Northern Church.” But to-this
Mr. Johnson decidedly objected. Be con*
sidered the churches thorightlnl property

the North were anxious for • our church*

“ And yc have taken the tctutal pledge,
have ve?’ said somebody to an Irishmen, j
“ Indade I have, and I’m not ashamed of !
itaitLer.” “-And did not Paul tell Timo-*
thy to take a little wine for iris stomach’s
sake?” “So he did; but my name’s not
Timothy, and there’s nothin’ the matter
with my stomach.”
In an excited discission, yesterday, be-'
tween a democrat and a German republi
can, the former referred to the habeas
corpus. “Habeas corpus,” responded the
republican; “talk to me about habeas cor
pus. I knows him well. He is a dam

Among those who have been reduced
from affluence to squaiid poverty by the
results of the war iu Virginia, and who
have been compelled to seek charity at
the hands of Gov. Pierpont, of that State
is a daughter^of the late venerable Chief
Justice Marshall.
Since the first inst. seventeen national
banks have beeu authorized, mostly in the
Southern States. The total number of
these institutions now in operation is one
thousand four hundred aud sixty-seven,

Catholic priests have been arrestd
in St. Louis for preaching without taking
the oath, aud several ministers of other
denominations, in various ; parts of the
State, are now under bonds to answer for
the same offence.
A Washington dispatch to tbe N. York
World says: It is thought that the milita
ry force will soon be withdrawn from Vir
ginia, and the power to maintain order
placed in the bauds of the militia, the
same as in the case of Mississippi.
A few days since the officer and guard
placed on 0. C. Clay’s casement, in Fort
ress Monroe, were withdrawn. It is
thought that .both Mr.Clay and John
Mitchel will shortly have their privileges
extended upon their paroles.
The Attorney general of Missouri has
given an opinion that Sunday school teach
ers in that Stale, are not required to take
the preacher’s oath. This opinion will
probably result to the ‘inquiry of- his loy-
