?IBW YORK, August O.-^TheJollow
ing noticio, uiulcr tm oxtensive bend
? . ing, is published in this . morning's
Herald: !
To the. Editor* of the Herald:
Nw YOBK,. August 8, 1867.
I thank you for your manly an?
nouncement, in thia morning's He?
rald, in tho article headed "Tue New
Crisis." Your views in thati article
are so wholesome, that I can't leave
the oity this morning-being tr?nsi
torially hore-without expressing my
gratitude.' I assure you, sir, that the
present effort of party leaders to se?
cure political power by : making the
Southern States negro States, is most
elating, and the people of the North
'must not allow its success, if they
value their own freedom and pros?
perity. If the people stop to think,
they will spurn such an attempt with
indignation; nothing bot false issues
can possibly afjow suph a ruinous pro
. ject to succeed. To cheat tho people,
tho advocates of thiB nefarious scheme
will keep before tkenxthe idea of mar?
tyrdom, and all that sort of thing;
but the true issue should be ever pre?
sent to our minds, and might be re?
warded, at less expense, than the.over?
throw of our institutions. Now, sir,
I have done ray .humble part in thc
late war for the Union. Two of mj
sons have fallen under the Union flag,
and my "part has beeny in coutribu
ti?h, and not in the inception of pen
.ny'e profit? during' the strife; bm
never have I wished' anything but r
restored Uni?n. Fot this, and tim
alone, I have sacrificed, and not fo;
the elevation of the negro, nor tin
disfranchisement of the people of th?
Southern States. If the people o
the South are not to bo restored t<
the Union, -then the bid oopperheac
cry, that the Union could not be re
stored by arms, is verified. Theidei
that the Sooth must be Africanize*
before its States are allowed to re
turn, is an admission that the war ha
been a wicked, failure, and has be ci
waged for the destruction of the re
public It is not a debatable question
We did not send our sons to dio fo
the creation of negro States in th
South. I appeal to the great masse
in the North, who generously poure
out their blood in the conflict, if th)
waa their object. Mr. Editor, yo
have hita t?nder chord in your, rc
marks, this morning, and I know i
will awakon the sleeping sense of th
people iu this crisis. I have,jam
chased a plantation in Alabama, nu
contemplate removing there and el
couraging others at the North to fo
low me; put if that State is to be
negro State,'farewell to my purpose
The reasons are obvious; fanatic
may not see therm but men of con
mon sense can. I thank you egan
from my heart. IRA E. HARRIS.

accounts from nearly every Distrii

RAMSIOH, N. C., August 12.-Tl
following telegraphic correspondent
between Gov. worth and Gen. Siokl
took place this evening:
STATB OT NOBTH CAROWRA,1
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,

Maj. Gen. J). E. Sickles, Commandi,
Second Military District, Charlesto
'S. C.:
Tho Country Courts, whose duty
is to revise and provide juries bo
for our County and Superior Courl
in many Counties have not ma
such r?visai since your Order No. ?
This omission has not sprnug frc
any disposition to disobey yo
orders. Yonr order qualifies
jurors those who have been assessc
and who shall have paid taxes for t
current yonr. The words "enrre
year" have boen construed as t
presbnt fiscal year, ending 80th day
September next.' Our rovenuo A
section44, page 12,'requires tho!
lists to be placed in the collecto
hands on or before tho 1st day of Ju
The machinery of our revonuo li
makes it impossible that the clei
can lmvo the tax lists ready for di
vory milch before tho 1st of Ju
Sheriffs usually begin to j coll
about tho 20th of July, and aro
lowed nutil October 1 to oorhpl
collection and make return. 1
County Courts canriot1 kppw v
have paid taxes this .year, uutil
sheriffs shall have made their'
turns. At the first term of ?
County t?ohrt<;, occurring altor.
1st of Ootobcr* I have no doubt
the County Courts will comply M
yonr order. The Fall Circuit of
" 'ii in iV 'in 11 h' j
Superior Court is just commencing;
it is believed that in many, and pro?
bably in all, the Counties, the jury
lists will not have been revised. Two
of our judges how in my office, on
their way to their circuits, report to
me that they have just commited
Col. Bomford, and that he construes
your order as forbidding them to try
any suit before a jury not drawn con?
formably to your Order No. 32. If
it be true, us'I think it is, that tho
County, Courts have construed your
ord?ir as above set forth, tho cala?
mity '.?ll result that no courts will be
held on the fall circuit in very many
of its ?ourUs. If you can suggest
any mode of avoiding this calamity
by telegram, I will communicate it
by telegram to the judges.

Hts Excellency Jonathan Worth, Go?

The circumstances set forth in the

that it has been impracticable to re?

with General Order No. 32, in tim?
for the prescht term of tho' courts.

en. Grant authorizing him to ac
I Socretnty of iWar ad interim, tlir
I ing Hird to nt1 once enter upon'
I duty. At noon, the President recei
-.? ?
a note from Stanton, denying that the
-President had the right, under the
, Constitution and laws, to suspend
him (Stanton) without the consent of
the Senate or legal cause; but inas?
much aa .the General Commanding

don without them. They are alto?
gether distincl from the original

tional evidence, which was said to
exist.
