"~v~- -j* . 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. W. H.

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 of truatee8 > u>d if the Methodists of the North were anxious for • our church* at the Sooth, ‘tbe. best way for them *r an Id ftOiM » interest notes axe in circulation. “ 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 old copperhead.— Cin. Enquirer. 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, employing an aggregate capital of $398,- 157, 2s5. 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- Qov.
