eS to be Entirely With- wn from the South, Troo Reorganization of the Southern States on the Basis of Civil Government. The President Will Trust the People. Applications for Pardon Pour- ing In. CIRCULAR FROM THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU. ke. ke. ke. Wasuiretos, Sept. 13, 1866. TR00P8 TO BE ENTIRELY WITHDRAWN FROM THE +. SOUTH. Tt & understood here that it is contemplated by the President (0 entirely withdraw the troops from the South, in a shor? time, leaving the States lately in rebellion to reorganize on the basis of civil government, precisely as they stood before the late war, with the exception of slavery. This policy is said to have arisen through the good sense of the leading Southern mem themselves, in ‘accepting the present position of affafrs, ag disclosed it the interview between President Johnson and # consider- able deputation of theirleading men, at the White House, ‘tho other day. Thus, the late slave States will have hardly a soldier left among them, save such as may be | required to garrison the several forts; and these, as in the Northern States, will be retained in active service ‘only fer the purpose of meeting any emergency that may arise from the action of foreign Powers. GREAT ACCUMULATION OF APPLICATIONS FOR PARDONS. Thore is no perceptible abatement from any quarter in | the applications for pardon. Thousands on thonsands | are filed away in the Attorney General’s office, and other thousands at the White House. Shelving is being erected in the room of the pardon clerk capable of holding hun- reds of thousands of applications, and unless some _ more expeditious method be devised for passing upon | them the shelf room will all soon be needed. It is esti- mated that not loss than one hundred thousand separate amnesty oaths have already been received at the State Department. Two clerks are constantly engaged assort- ing and filing these, but months would be necessary to arrange those now on hand if no more were received, In the meantime the magnitude of the clerical work ne- | -oessary to pardon one hundred thousand persons by the | wpresent method is but imperfectly understood by the public at large. Its present progress is a (ransparent farce, incompatible with the dignity of the government, , and should therefore be abandoned. | THE PRESLDENTIAL VISIT TO RICHMOND PROBABLY POSTPONED. Tho President and Cabinet have boen repeatedly in- vited and urged to visit the city of Richmond and oth :Bouthern localities by thoir respective authorities, aud at -one time intended doing 80, but the businoss of state | Presses heavily, and there is little probability at present | “of their being able to leave the capital, as contemplated. | BEPUBLICAN MILITARY OV FICERS TAKING THE STUM As the fall clections approzch it is a significant fact ‘hat military officers, known as republican stump speak- “om aré receiving leaves of absence, furloughs, &c., and | invariably plunge into the canvass in their respective States. Witness Major General Kilpat ‘8 exploits in ‘New Jorsey. Another queer dodge is cliciting some com- mont in certain quarters. Colonel Russling, of the Quar- ‘vermaster Gonoral’s Deparimeut, was said to have been ordered (0 report to the President for duty. As it was known tho President could have no possible use for his services, investigation revealed the fart that he also has geceivad one of those mysterious leaves or furloughs for the expross and avowed purpose of influencing New Jorsey elections, Is it for this the one hundred unas Bigned general officers are still kept in service? Does tho public know that each brigadier general is entitled to two aids, and each major goneral to three, in addition to ‘his own pay and commutation? Why are they not mus- ‘tored out, since their services are confesseiliy noi needed and tho government bleeds to the tune of hundreds of | thousands of dollars per annum ? PARDONS GRANTED. Tho President this morning granted the following par- -dons:—J. T. BR. Allen, Louisiana; Sutherland Si. Clair, Baltimora, Md.; William Palmer, Richmond, Va.; Jobn A. Winston, J. R. Dillard, Thomas Mathews, John S. Hunter and 0. P. Sage, Alabama; William H. McFarland | and Hugh M. Stannard, Virginia. The well known Mayor Slaughter, of Fredericksburg, was among those pardoned on Monday. PARDONS IN ALABAMA. Owing to reported abuses practised upon bim in obtain- {ing his official endorsement of petition for pardon, Gov. | Parsons, of Alabama, some weeks ago requested all ac. tion to be suspended on ications fom that aotil the matter could have investigation, The reatrie- tions are now withdrawa, aud the pardon business of that Btate placed on the same fooiiag with others. THK REDUCTION OF THE FORCES AROUND WASH- INGTON. Ampong the first organizations to be mustered out is the ‘Third Massachusetts heavy artillery, which has been gar- risoning Forts Slocum, Stevens, Sumner, Lincoln, Reno and Totten. They number now about twelve hundred mon. Two-thirds of the officers of this regiment have | risen (fom the ranks through the display of either un- common intolligence or bravery, All these forts will be dismantied during the present autumn: THE PROPOSRD AMENDMENT OF THE CONSTITUTION . OF VIRGINIA, A clause in the Virginia amended constitution pro- Aibited alt who had aided, participated in, or sympa- | thizod With the rebellion from either voting or holding office, The first disability has already been removed by fegintative action. The proclamation of Governor Pier- point now submits to the people the question—“‘Shall the next General Assembly be clothed with power to alter or amend the third article of the constitution, pamoly, as to holding officer’ There seems to be no doubt that this disability wil! also be removed. BPPRCT OV THR ARMY REDUCTIONS. ‘The reduction of the garrison of Washington and tho consequent departure of a large number of officers makes @ considerable gap in Washington society, of which they | have long formed an attractive part. In the city, how- ever, their departure will prove a benefit to Washington | 4n many ways other than the mere reduction of govern- | ment oxpeases. Ii is noticeable that many Hebrew mer- chantines aod Yankeo sutlers, who have fattened here du- Ting the last four years on the lavish expenditures of tha class of gentlemen, are now taking their departare, real- ising that their occupation, for the most part, is gone. Stores on the avenue are plenty and cheaper, tonements waoated by these polf-thirsty dealers are advertised, and, best of all, the merchants who remain are coming more within reach of those who are hereafter to furnish the bulk of their custom. It is believed that the cost of liv. fing tn Washington will be much less this winter than at any time during the past four years, CROWDR STILT. HESIEGING THE PRESIDENT. | ‘Tho crowds of Presidential visitors began axeembling in the White House at an carly hour this forenoon, and | before the usual hour of reception not leas than one hundred were in attendance, fully one-half the number being Indies, Many became discouraged at the prospect of obiaining iuterviews, and withdrew before the doors wore ononed. Goneral Meade called early, by appoint. ment, and was promptly admitted. PERUVIAN COMMERCIAL DECRERS. ‘The government bas received from the Legation of the ‘United States in Pera copies of two decrees \ssued by the President of that republic, The first closes the port of slay, Arica, and the Bay of Quilica, to merchant vessels, mational as well as foreign. In order to make effectual ‘tho rosponsibility which’any ships may incur from an in- fraction of this articte, the period of time fixed, taking the date of the deoree (the 8th of June), is, for all veesols proceeding from ports in Europe or Asia, or from tho Wnited Statos of North America, Mexico, the ‘United States of Colombia, and Venezuela, in the Atlantic Ocean, five months. The second decree is in part that every person who, without the authority and ordor of logitimate and competent authority, shail export ate | the NEW, e ORs of that manure, shall be considered ‘a robber of the public wealth and offender against tho rights of the consignees and all the creditors who have op the gusno 8 positive guaranteg for the fulfilment of their contracts and the discharge Of their credits, and will be prosecuted ‘and punished with severity agreeably to the laws of the republic and of territorial right. WIRZ AND HIS WITNESSES. The Military Commission will summon a part if not all of the witnesses named yesterday by Captain Wirz, through his counsel, by whom he expecta to prove that many of the acts ascribed to him were committed by others in higher authority. The prisoner has been sick ever since the trial commenced, and is now nervously rostrated. ey es. . ARREST OP COUNTERPRIPERS. The secret service division of tho Solicitor’s office hat been informed of the arrest of several persons engaged in counterfeiting. One named Jokes jumped froin the cars while they were in motion, but was again arrested, ten days afterwards, by detective Nettlesmith; and an- other, named Tobias C. Eckert, was arrested in New York yesterday by detective Lowell. Eckert had on his per- son five hundred one dollar United States notes, Arrests are continually being made all over the country, A TAX COMMISSIONER FOR GEORGIA. | J. C, Bates has been appointed direct tax commis- sioner for the district of the State of Georgia. This is believed to be the same gentleman who testified on the Wirz trial, and is known as having been exceedingly kind to the prisoners at Andersonville, always having been a Union man, but who sought employment there as 2 volunteer surgeg in order to avoid being forced into the Georgia militia, INTERNAL REVENUE AB@OINTMENTS. President Johnson to-day made the following appoint. ments of Collectors of Internal Revenue:—B. H, Shep- pard, for the Third district of Mississippi, and Algerman 8.

A Newburyport Priest Mutilates Him- self and Assails Others. FRIGHTFUL SCUuNDBS. { | he MHaniac Still Alive, but in a Critical Condition. &e. ke. ue - Limes? The pansengers on the mail train which teft Boston ol Tuesday night for this city were called upon to witness one of the most appalling horrors of railroad travel ever recorded in this country. A man named Peter Hamill, a passenger, and, as it proved, @ frightful maniac, at- tempted to terminate his hfe by violence, and endangered the lives of various others who interposed to prevent the tragic deed. Tt was about three o’clock A. M., a3 the black clouds Of night were rolling off, that the man was observed by the doll lamplight to be sitting uneasily in his seat. ‘With face buried in his hands he would groan deeply, as if inan unnatural sleep, then suddenly sit erect and stare boldly into vacancy, and finally languidly recline backwards, groaning and striking his foreliead with his open palm as if in great misery. There were some twenty passengers in the same car. All noticed the strange bearing of the apparently un- happy man, yet all refrained from intruding on his inner thoughts, THE TRAGIO Act. As the train neared Norwalk, however, the passenger suddenly stood up, took down his valise, extracting there- from a razor, which he opened, displaying for a second its blade in the glare of the lamp. Then, with a flourish quik as’ lightning, he drew the blade twice across his throat, having exposed the part by casting back his head and whole frame, with a most piercing utterance of some exclamation atterly unintelligible, to the horror stricken passengers. In an instant the car was in the wildest con- fosion. Ladies were screaming and rushing wildly from the terrible spectacle. The unhappy man, still erect and the blood spurting out on the seats, looked with a weird but blank and stolld gaze on what passed. The conduc- tor was simmoned by the fleeing passengers, who heeded not in their horror the grave danger that vawned beneath them, as they plunged across the space between the two cara, which were at the time rushing on in full speed, ' FRIGHTFUL FREAKS OF THE LONE MANIAC. The sight of the ronductor entering on the space of which he had been sole occupant for these awful min- | Utes seemed to irritate the gory maniae, who now plunged about in a manner to be dreaded by any human being. ‘The conductor seeing he could now be of no possible use, and that the fury of the maniac intensified with every second of his presence, at once withdrew from the car, whose doors he had locked. In the meantime the now lone and hapless man became more vielent than ever, He bounded and plunged wildly about im the fastened car, kicking the windows, smash- | ing the kamps and gratings, frequently att | tear up the benches, and then, stopping for an instant, ! apparently from exhaustion, he would grasp at the | escaping sashes of blood and slap his face with both ; hands, “A more horrid appearance never did man or | beast present.

They were accompanied by a tambour and inusie corps, and the target tenders, who appeared in the picturesque cos- tume of the Swias. y were di in red blouses and white pantaloons, and wore red capa decorated with the federal croxs of Switzerland. ‘The tostival grounds were tastefully decorated. A shooting hall’’ has been erected there especiaily for the accommodation of the sharpshooters. This building, which ts called the Sehuetzen Hans, is about sixty feet Jong, and at a distance of about six hundred feet a dozen targets are placed. The first target ig called the “Hel vetia,”’ the second is called the ‘Union’? and the third is the “Ring” target. The other ser ots are marked A, B, ©, ke. A number of valuable prizes are being contended for, The prizes for the firat target, the Helvetia, are valued at three hundred dollars, and are composed of jewelry, silverware and cash. The first prize is a purse with forty dollars ig gold coins, the sec- ond prize a purse with thirty dollars and the third twenty, , The prizes for the other targets are of a very miscellaneous character, and more are received from day to day while the festivities are in progress. ‘The target shooting wil be resumed this morning at eight o'clock watil six this evening, and will be contin. wed on Thu and Friday.

A terrible accident oceurred near Tiskilwa, on the Chi past five o'clovk sof the sleeping ar attached to the night train from Chicago broke down while the train was under full speed. The floor of the front part of the car was completely demolished, and Mr. Downs, of Iowa City, and Mr. George W. Kepner, of Davenport, whose berths were in that end of the car, were precipitated through the bottom, and, by some in- explicably good fortune, thrown off instead of on the track, thus miraculonsly escaping horrid mutilation and death. The whole car was so smashed up that the eseay of any of its inmates seems only less than a miracle. Mr. Downs was only slightly injured, Mr. Kepner very se- viously. He was taken home by the train, which, by reason of the accident, was two hours and a half late, taken to his house, and cverything possible done for bis comfort. Dr. Baker gry big wounds and found no bones bad been broken; but his head, right shoulder and right leg were severely bruised, and his spine also in- Jured, Mr. Kepner is doing ws ind, with proper treat- ment, will probably be able to resume his business in the course of a week.

The music from the lake is in many respects finer and more enjoyable than that from the orchestra on the Mall, It echoes and lingers among the hills and rocks, as though loth to die away, and gives the impression that several bands are playing at the same time in different parts of the Park, ‘THE AvxvAL Picnic oF St. Mary's Caurcn was held at Jones’ Wood yesterday, the proceeds of which are to aid in support of the schools of that parish, which 1s one of the oldest in New York.

The first hurdle was placed a short distance from the judges’ stand, the second at the quarter-pole, the third at the half-mile pole, and the fourth at the head of the homestretch—the two last in very bad positions for the spectators.

She went of with the lead and took the first hurdie in beatiful style, followed by Zigzag two lengths behind, and then Garry Oaidis, all their jumps being elegant. Lillie Parker followed, but she struck and knocked down the top rail. Nannie continued to lead around the turn four lengths ahead of Garry, Zigzag having fallen behind the other two, She cleaged the second hurdle in capital style, the others going over nicely and without touching the rails.
