Mo. &o. &. g Wasmnatow, August 20, 1865, ‘TEN MILITARY COMMISSION FOR THE TRIAL OF WIRZ AND OTHERS. ‘The Wira Military Commission has undergone several Changes of late, and by special order of the War Depart- ‘Ment isconstituted as follows. A careful reading of the -order confirms the probability of other and more import- ‘Ont personages than Wirz being ultimately brought to ite Dar for trial:— SPROIAL ORDERS—NO. 449 —(1 War Daraptuent, ADJUTANT Gensrs Cam, Thirteen—The Mil! wd special ry convened py and of which Mi ae for the trial at eleven o’clock A.

Although the charges and specifications will not be made known until the arraignment of the prisoner, there is reason to believe that these include the charge of conspiring with certain leading rebels to cause, by starvation and other means, the death of Union sol- diers in Southern prisons. LOYAL EXPRESSIONS FROM EASTERN VIRGINIA. Public meetings have been held recently in Bucking- ham county, Eastern Virginia, and Montgomery county, beyond the Blue Ridge, wherein the people have given expression to their fidelity to the Union, President John- on and Governor Pierpoint. The citizens of Bucking- ham county resolved, as honorable men, to abide in good faith by all the results of their defeat in the late tebellion, while the Montgomery meeting resolved that they. were disposed to accept the issue of the late strug- gle as a Snal settlement of the question of the main- tenance of thé Union and of the authority of the federal goverment over the States of the South. THE ANTICIPATED PRESIDENTIAL TRIP TO RICH. MOND. “The President's expected visit to Richmond is exciting lively interest in that city, and rooms have been engaged for the accommodation of the party. A meeting was called for yesterday noon to prepare for his reception. THR CONTEST FOR THE ST. LOUIS POST OFFICE. ‘The contest for the St. Louis post office still goes on between the radical and conservative wings of the re- publican party. B. Gratz Brown, Henry T. Blow and the St. Louis Democrat unite in demanding the removal of Mr. Foy, the present incumbent, and the appoint- ment of a They all profess to be actuated by asinoere ‘to promote the interests of the party, and.none of them challenge the fitness of the prosent in- cumbent. The statement of a few facts will lessen their claims to disinterestedness. A United States Senator is goon to be olected from Missouri. Brown, Blow & Co. are all individually candidates for the office. They sus- pect General Blair of having Senatorial aspirations, and of being stronger than cither of themselves, ‘They adopt the old strategy of uniting to kill him off Grst, “by proscribing his friends, and of taking thoir own chances afterward. The Mr. McKee whose laims they urge is the oditor and proprietor of the Democrat. They each hope to subsidize tho paper by E MoKee the appointment, and all fear to oppose At lest its support should bo withdrawn in the approach- ing contest, Gratz Brown has a tolerably consistent political record. He was always opposed to Mr. Lincoln's administration, advocated Fremont's interests last year ‘until he withdrew from the contest, and did not support Mr. Lincoln afterward. Henry T. Blow has been on evory side of every question that has divided Missouri politicians-since his advent to public life. Mr. Foy was hore some weeks ago, and was told the consideration of hhis caso was postponed for fifteen days, by request of Brown and Blow, whe were to come on armed with rea- pons for his removal. The time expired last week, and Mr. Foy was informed by the Postmaster General that it ‘was again postponed until some time in Septemb:r. The Blairs, the conservatives and the Irish Catholic influence favor his retention. The appointment is spiritedly con- tested by all. TREATMENT OF NEGROES IN ALABAMA. Chicago papers have been announcing great abuses of colored people in Alabama, and have alleged that there was a combination of State officials against them. Gen- eral. Swayne, Assistant Commissioner of that State, ‘tolegrapbs the Freedmen’s Bureau, in contro- version of those statéMments, that the judicial officers under the provisional government have boon made his legally constituted agents to aid in the'management of the colored population under tho system of the bureau. It is also asserted in the same telogram that Governor Parsons sont bis Adjutant Gen- eral to Mobilo to secure the co-operation of the new Mayor of that city, who was known to be willing to accept an agency in the service of the Freedmen’s Bureau, It is daid that Judicial officers and magistrates are materially aiding in educating the negroes to a right appreciation of their ability to help themselves, and the government, by circular, orders them so to do. WILLIAM L, GOGGIN SUBDUES 1S POLITICAL ASPI- RATIONS. William L. Goggin, a former contestant for the Gover- norship of Virginia with John Letcher, has, in view of the fact that placing himself before the people for Con- gress or any other national office would result in his ultimate rejection, concluded not to announce himself a pandidate, In @ recont card Goggin talks about the ‘(objects contemplated in the recent elections, which he well understood to be those so thoroughly squelched out Ne wi U A ol rostoration. should foed these vampires, who would throw every obstacle in the way of the success of his administration?

In this connection there is authority for stating that hereafter no pardons will be delivered to agents and attorneys; they will be delivered either to the appli- Cants in person, or (what is more convenient and less harrassing to the President) will be sent to the sppll- canta by the mails from the State Department. DEPORTMENT OF PARDON SEEKERS. Some of the Southern visitors to Washington behave 4g if they had an undisputed right to the pardon for which they have applied, and are correspondingly tm- Portunate, This retards rather than facilitates their ob- ject; for the President continues to act in such a manner ag to assure them that pardon is a deed of clemency and not of right. The larger number of applicants are, how- ever, more considerate. COMMUTATION OF 4 DEATH SENTENCE. It is understood that the sentence of death passed by the Military Court at Cincinnati on G. St. Leger Green- field, a British subject, convicted of aiding prisoners of war + Camp Douglas to eacape, hag been commuted by the President into imprisonment for life at hard labor at the Dry Tortugas. NO OOUNTERYSITS OF NATIONAL OURRENCY. A paragraph has recently been published in the Wash- ington papers stating that several fairly executed coun- terfeits of the national currency have been presented at the currency bureau for redemption, We are authorized by the officers of that department to state the story is entirely untrue. There are known to have been severa; counterfeits upon Treasury notes brought to the notice of the Treasury redemption bureaw, but none have come to Might at the currency bureau proper affecting the national banking currency. VIOLATION OF POST OFFICE LAWS TO BE PUNISHED. Tho act of Congress forbidding, under heavy penalties, the placing the words ‘United States Mail,” &c., om # ‘steamboat or other vessel not employed in carrying the mail, and the publishing in a newspaper or otherwise that any such steamboat or vessel not so employed is used in carrying the mails of the United States, having been recently evaded in many instances, the Postmaster General has given instructions to postmasters to take the ecessary steps to promptly enforce its provisions against all offenders, NORTH CAROLINA MAIL CONTRACT. The Postmaster General has just concluded a contract with the Raleigh and Gaston Railroad Company for the daily conveyance of the mail between Weldon and Ra- leigh. This establishes continuous postal communication between the Northern States and the capital of North Carolina. CARRYING THE MAILS ON THE MISSISSIPPI. The contract for carrying the mails between Cairo and jew Orleans has been awarded to the Atlantic and Mis- sissippi Steamship Company, to commence about the lst of September. THE DANVILLE RAILROAD.

The article inthe Heraup of the 12th inst., entitled “Tho Maine Convention and the Progress of the Anti-Ad- ministration Party,” is not only true of that State, but of tho radical abolitionists of the country gonerally. Out- side of the President, tne government is virtually in their hands, and thus, while they would ‘“damn’’ tho Prest- dont “with faint praise,” they are emboldened to oppose his administrative policy. perfectly transparent. Their hypocriay, however, is Nineteen-twenticths, aye more, of the employes of the departments are hostile to the policy of the Presi- dent. The bureaus, almost without exception, are pre- sided over by his political foes, who have crammed their respective offices with the bitterest of radicals and negro worshippers. With some few designing exceptions, used for a disguise, no applicant is appointed by them ‘ho is not unqualifiedly committed to negro suffrage and equality ; and no employe, however efficient and com- petent, is not promoted who is not of the: same stripe. This proscription and favoritism has become a studied system in many of the bureaus. Unlessa Jacobin, no appli- cant for position or candidate for promotion stands the ghost of a chance in any bureau presided over by a Puri- tan. For instance, as I am credibly informed by a gentle- man of ability and integrity, m the room in which he is employed there are nine clerka, eight of whom are avow- edly opposed to the President's reconstruction policy, are in favor of negro suffrage and have no more decency or sense of propriety than to hold office under an ad- ministration to which they are violently opposed: And this room is not an exc same sentiment. stable, and should be cleaned out wit!

He has not yet come forward. There is no doubt that the inquiry will redound to the honor of Gener, 2!

There has beew no eolfisia " here, as reported North, between the civil and militar, V authorities, further than the correspondence which late ly passed between Sheriff Carew and General Bennett, am 4 which has been already published. After the decisiom made in that case, no further action was taken by eita °F party. Major General Gilmore, who arrived here yest ‘Tday from Hilton Head, told his visitors that the civil a 'thorities could not re- sume the duties of their offices: a ntil the State organiz- ation was completely effected, w ‘hich, it is supposed, will not be until after the meeting of the Convention and Legislature.

It is well known that in 1860 there were many housos in the city which were vacant which are now tenanted, Many others that were occupied by one family that are now occupied by two or more, ard also that there not near so many houses in the city then ag there are now. How, then, does it come to pass that the State enumerators have only returned the ridiculously small increase of population for the city of Brooklyn in five years of five hundred and ninety-six? Were they unable to find all the people, or must all the plaim conso- quences of the facts above given be contemptuously dis- rogarded? According to the assessors’ returns tho amount of money expended in 1863 and 1864, only in the erection of houses in the city of Brooklyn, was about $3,500,000, and this probably did not exceed the sum expended in the three preceding yeara. Yet all these new houses are filled and the old ones are fuller than before, and the population has only increased flve hundrod and nincty-aix in the whole flve years. ‘The following table shows the number of houses in each ward of the city according to the censuses of 1860 and 1865, and also the increase and diminution of the number of houses in each: — aaa 1860. 658 BST 1,128 1,432 1,545 2197 1,804 - nim = 227 2)537 - 915 3,083 = 3/619 1,908 — 1,258 =_ 204 2084 215 ser 1,446 iT) = 1,303 _ 250 2)204 338 pa » O18 = * 682 = 164 168 1 — _ = = 1,455 Totals.....---90,028 | 96703 3.008430 Total increase of houses-im-he city. . covcee OT4 *Taken from the Eleventh ward.

The Major General commanding department has boon informed that many of the men serving in the vol- unteer regiments of his command suppose themselves to bo legally entitled to thoir discharge, on the ground that thoy enlisted to serve fora fixed time, “or during the war,’”’ and that the war is ended. That both officers and men aro entitled to be_mustered out of service at the termination of the war, is}true; that tho war has yet terminated in such a sense as to entitle them to be mustered out, is not true. There are now no organized rebel armies in the fleld, but by the proclama- tion of the President, this State and others of the States are still insurrectionary districts; they are still without civil governments, or with imperfect civil governments, and until civil authority shall be tully restored, and until those States shall have returned to their former relations to the national government, it cannot be said that the war has beou brought to a close. ‘The plain and evident meaning of the words “during rin the contract of enlistment, is ‘while the necessity for a military force created by the present re- bellion shall continue to exis that necessity still exists, and therefore those men whoso torms of enlist ment have not expired are as fully bound to service as if organized rebel armies were still in the fleld. [he Major Genera! commanding earnestly hopes that this necessity for longer sorvice will be submitted to as cheerfully as the toils, dangers and privations of the past four years have been endured, and trusts that no one will be found to tarnish the glorious record of the past by insubordination or by an unwilling and negligent per formance of duty. .

The corn crop of this State will be @ good one for the area of ground planted, which, it may be added, is not a fourth of that of the year 1860.
