Our people are truly loyal to tha govera-ment aad steadily retain their ancicut devotion to law and order. TVy are anxious to approve alt that Gea.

The Order 84 will be, aad should ha, punctiliously obeyed, yet they were not aware of any tacit wok rendered neceeeary to radical. departure, at thia time; front the lawe and tini honored etts-. tome of the the Order contemplates, and we therefore find among the people a deep anilety, fearing that portion the Order may tend to interfere with the well known desire and pnrpoaea of tha Commanding General to preaerV quiet and ordet among alt classes, i There is danger, whatever, that the quiet of aociety will be disturbed by our white population.

But tha secret and dangerous infloenoes which are being exerted, by bad advice, or or the colored population, and by agents ansaapected and unknown to tha Com- 1 "tnaadiog General, create a aneaaiaeas and ft depression, under thia order, which we hara not auca before among Joople Ws sinoerely trust that their apprehensions may not be realised, Jlfter a long aad laborious atioo, eon-' ducw-d In all the spirit of the Star-JUliam-' bar, tbe Juduiiary Committee of Con gress, which was charged with the-trlafr-' tor of the Impeachment of President has at 14 arrived st a conclusion.
