RALm1nI, N. C., Thursday, July 27.
-ion. Win. A. Graham, ex-menber
of the rebel Senate and the political lead
er of this State, vho is to be a delegate
to the cominig State Convention, says
that under no circumstances will lie con
sent to the return of North . Carolina in.

tion is made a condition.
J. 1-. P. Russ, of this city, who has
recently received a Federal appoint.
mrnt, and y- .o has been designated to
represent this district. in Congress and
also in the approaching State Conven.
tion; defines his position on the slavery
question by saying that if lie had power
lie would re-enslave every slave who is
now free.
Some of the countyl meetings which
have nominated rebel leaders as candi
dates to the State Convention instruct
them to favor, by constitutional o-r legis
lative enactment, the binding out of lib.
crated slares to their former masters for
a term of four years.
This is the mater.ial already designat
ed to represent- North Carolina in her
conyention and also in Congress.
The Union men, alarmed at these
fresh devolpments of disloyalty, are oi
ganizing for the purpose of demanding
the immediate enforcement of the .confis
cation law, which they claini will drive
these rebel sympathizers from the politi.
cal field, and enable mien of a clear re.
cord to present a constitution and a
delegation to Qongress which that body
can consent to accept..
The Yoeless manner of pardoning the
geat. leaders of the rebellion in North
Carolina, siich. as Gralam and others, is
oxoting tie grave apprehensions of
the loyal citizens of the State.

Letter from Fortress Xonroe.
FORTRKSS MONROE, July 29, 1865.
SEntron INDX: Hardly anything is
s-poken of here save the intense heat, and
the military changes which .daily occur
fiora. the moving of troops to their
homes.
Yesterday, howerer, a little incident
transpired which will prove of 'interest
to your readers.* Mr. Davis, as yon are
aware, has been allowed for several
days past the privilege of. walking on
the ramparts. An officer accompanies
him, and a gnard armed with a musket,
follows some five or ten feet in the rear.
A similar indulgenco is gratited Mr.
Clay, and uin4er the same restrictions.
Care seems to have been taken that'they
should not be out at the savme tiine, bit
last evening, probably through inadver
tence, they were permitted to he out at
the same hour, and during their promo.
ule they met.
It was the first friendly face, save the
surgeon's, that either prisoner had seen
for nontim and the emotions that rush
ed 111)011 tlt! hearts of both muay hr
imagined. Mr. Clay extended his hand,
remarking :
"Though we are not permit-d to
hold conversation, Mr. Davi6; . presume
We will not be forbdden to shakc
hands."
The accompanying officers made no ob.
jection, and the *two gentlemen clasped
hands with a fervor and feeling such as
rarely attends tih familiar courtey.,
Mr. Davis' thin lips quivered, bul
probably from hi.- desire to observe scrn
pul -'u'ly the rules of his gonfineyent,'hc
uttered no word.
, To-day the rule was adopted of ap.
pointing different hours for the prome
nade, and Mr. J)avis walked alone thii
morning at 6. Mr. Clay will enjoy the
sane'privilege this *vemaiag. Dm.
A Tuibute to General 2. Kirby Smith
GA.VICSToN. Texas, July 13.-It kini
been currently riincired thr6ugh th<
country that Geonerals Smith ani
Magruder engaged extensively incottoy
speculations, and made a, heap of money
which they took with them'when tie3
fled to Mexico. Now, permit one wh<
knows, to state that there is not a wotk
of truth in all this-not a word. Gen
oral, Smith had no money of his owl t<
speculate on ; he neither hired uor bor
rowed any for this purpose-he neve
shared the profits with ainy one.who di(
speculate-ie never used or appropriatei
to his own use one dollar of the Gov
ernment fuinmd. In other words, ho
never "speculated" to the extent of ong
dime while commanding this departmont
although, to my certain knowledge
more . than one opportnuity offerel
wherein'by simply tutrnimng his hand h,
could have made one fumidred or bu
hundrod apax fifty thousand dolars i
goltl. Independent of hi. poliical ant
mihitary character, of which it does no
become me to speak,,I will say that i
purer tan than General E. Kirby Smuitl
never was entjuated rith Gbvernmen
fuancs.. When he surrenaderd thi:
department ho turne~d over so' Geneni
Canby *5,000 in gold, that be.ing ovei
ditne of Government ma~ner .he held ii
his hands, and then turned round a04

Tux CoRN CitoP.--Wlile the area
planted in 'corn in Eastein. Virginia is
probably not one-fourth as gren.t as that
of 1860. the qunltyof th* present crop
has never been exceeJed. IL is not
believed ta ever before was there, on
the'ame number of stalks, so large a
quantity vi grain. This is the concurrent
testimony of persons who have recently
passed through most of our eastern and
nort,hern counties. As the people have
nothing but their.crops to which to oole
for support during the cutront year, the
prospect ofabundanco is, even more than
in ordinary tiines, a subject of congratula
tioni.
In the country along the upper James,
abou, Lynchbiirg, and in the South.
western .part of the State generally, a
splendid corn-growing rogion, it may
Ibe remarked', 'we fear there has been
already toul much ram, while, from
present, indications, the prospe-t is that
there is in be muchel more. ' Ani excess of
rain produces an imense crop.of stalk,
but little corn The rakis that have
fallen during the past two weeks prevail
ed in the country just me:tionel,
have been very heavy, and have done in.
calculable damage to the crops and in va
rious other ways.

A SPiccK oF WAn. -The New
Yo,rk News' Wasbington correspondent
"Ourrelations with France are be
doming every day more critical. It w
understood here to-day that authentio
intelligence ha, been received, of the
fact that a re enforvomeint of. 350005
French and A1ustrian troops are now
embarking at French ports, destined
for Mexico, and that they nay be
expected to-land at Vera Cruz as soont
as they can cross the goean.,

it is dificult to see how a collision is to
be avoided between 'th American and
French troops on the line of the Rio

HISTORY OF T11H WAn INTkksT.
NO CoUrIosITriFs. -We 10arn that Mr.
Edward A. Pollard, whose namne is al.
ready known as an annalist of the war,
and as one of the editors of the Rich.
mnond Exanincr, has been recently
making a tour of the South for the pur
pose of collecting niateriils and memoirs
touching the war, with the view of
wr:Uzig an claborate history of th. past,
four years. Mr. P. has been so snecess
ful in Richmond that he has seoureti
Imiany of the original papers of Gen.
Lee, ald complete series of his dispitch.
es, which, of themselves, will be the
most interesting epitome of the events of
the war. Some of these otograph dim
patches will be of infinite interest to-col
lectors of curiosities of the war.- Whig.
Geo. Las AaD Mu. STxruh-xs.--A
Washington telegram to the Phiilad f.
dhin Leqger, says: ..
No response has yet been made to tha
applications of Gen. Leo and ex.Yio
President Stephens for pardon. This. is
perhaps owing to the delicate conditoi
of both Mr. Johnston's a'nd Mr. Se.
ward's health, which has prevented them
flom giving a careful attention to the
subject. The prevailing, impression,
however, isthat the jardons will be
granted, though bot hI Lee and Stophein,
in their petitions, do not abate one joL
from their known partiality .for tie
South, and the instititiomis which have
so long been'inseparable from it.
General Sherman lhas proved hirnel
both. soldier and speaker. There is
freshness, liveliness and piquancy in
everything he says. His last speech, at
Indianapolis, coutiains several important
declarations. One is, that he "ivill
never, never, aceipt civil offlee, ,And
never again draw his sword in anger."
Another is, that he is "distinctly opposed
to any miscellaneous mitigling i the
races, '-that "the whiteraceshould rule,"
that the negroes shoutd be pttmoated and
have every privilege necessary to Ojfir
happiness, but that the elective.franvitise
should no% beextended to them.
