LETTER FROM 6. OCCASIONAL."
WASHINGTON, June 7, 1865.
That the suggestion of President J Am
en, in his proclamation appointing Wm.
Bolden Governor of North Carolina,
ould create discussion, is no reason why
should excite dissension. It reaches the
err heart of the " great argument;" and
einking men, who were looking for some
int to rally to, should be grateful, rather,
at tee opinion of the President has been
o frankly and patriotically stated, He
ors not propose to dictate who shall vote in
c States. His object is to assist in build
. g the State governments from the base ;
lid although it has been objected that while
e proposes to obliterate all secession legis
rem subsequent to the period when, in
eel, North Carolina was stolen out of the
'Dien, yet by this very step he recognizes
l i e odious forms of the old Constitution,
;ed tie tyrannie laws made in pursaance
ereof But the answer to this is that,
fter all, the whole question must go to the
geople 0e the State; and if, on the idea
at weare to bold the seceded common
salth by force of arms until there
a seised strong sentiment in favor
if negro suffrage, might not this process
-nd in making the entire white population
iselt sfied— or worse ? Now, negro suffrage
North Carolina and in Tennessee is not
new thing. In the days of the lieywoods
; #0 the Masons in the one, and the Carroll;
o::ece, Jaeksons, and Cave Johnsons in
he ether, colored men voted freely, on cer
cunclitions. The National Government
',lvy he as strongly in favor of giving this
•erLd right to the black man in the seceded
tares, on President Johnson's theory of
'abstaining the State machinery, under the
tallral Constitution, as those who object
'his theory ; and I take it for granted
.ea, with President Johnson's known
.elesusity to the colored men of Tennes
ee, he would be enabled to wield a Ire
. cedous influence in aiding them else
, eje to all the rights which law and
qsAutle, and the condition of society,
I ay} induce the people to yield and
.en elves to demand. In our earnest
neery to protect the colored men of
tiouth, we must take care lest we
eaten their best friends there and
lseWhere, and keep back, instead of
usling forward, the wonderful reform in
t es condition. As I have said before in
ecorrespondence, that race has advanced
of during this rebellion than in ordinary
it would have gained in a century.
'etc opinion has been purified and
n! , glbened in their favor. Some of the
inoundest publicists heretofore opposed
ohe bestowal of any of the great fran
hies upon the colored man, frankly
ty and boldly state that he has
,se4ared himself for a higher des-
Ise But we profit nothing by precipi
,t action. I do not fear debate on any
but I oppose dogmatism. In

Many of you will at once return to your homes.

patriotism. No generation has every done more
for the permanent establishment of a just and libe

GGv. Peirpont Is being daily visited by delega-
Mom of citizens from the Valley, along the Blue
Blege, and some beyond the Allegheny Mountains
—by individuals who have held prominent places of
distrust in the State and Confederate Governments ;
by (dicers of rank, who are included In the excepted
class of the amnesty proclamation ; by civilians Who
have been notorious rebels, and Union men who
have remained true to their oountry—all of whom
rroognize the inevitable conclusion that slavery is
ended ; that secession was a delusion, and that
State rights is a theoretical idea, which can never
be reduced to practice.
IMPB,bBSIO24 UPON Ting gOVXRI.IOI2.
These respective delegations have made a de
cided impression upon the Governor as to the truth
fulness of their utterances and the sincerity of
their resignation. He has conversed freely and
frankly with the people in all conditions of society,
soliciting their opinions as to the return of the na-,
*Mona authority, which have been given In soak al
spirit of candid submission to the old flag, as to leave
no doubt of their sincerity. The Governor is so im
pressed With the bearing and deportment of the
people of Virginia, as to express the opinion that
they accept the triumph of the Union arms with a
degree of chrerfninese which he did not anticipate.
The original Secessionists; having assured him that
their Government has taken the wings of very
early morning for an indefinite flight, have no.nOill
punotiot 8 In renouncing . all allegiance to an an.
thorny , which has passed away, or philosophically
giving up all faith In rebal.boaaa. Tits Olean wag.
inanitoonsly admits that there is nothing to State
sovereignty as Originally held by them, and that
Virginia lima, In accordance with the decision
from which there is no appeal, be reconstrnoted
upon the basis of freedom.
TED CONDITION OF TNN NEON%
A large number of visiting gentlemen are ex
tremely solicitous about the oondition, and, not in
n t (intently, the status of the negro. Some state that
their former slaves have remained with them, and
are equally, if not more faithful in their labor, un•
der the inspiration ;of remuneration ; while others
complain that their property, which haft always had
a fogracions aspect, has unceremoniously deserted
them, and are seeking employment with other per.
Bone. The farmers are now trying the advantages
of free labor upon as economical a basis as possible,
giving to each laborer ten dollars per month and
rations. Not a few of the chivalry have declared,
with a good deal of pride, that their negroes posi
tively declined to leave them, but are determined to
rE Math.
CHANGE IN REBEL SMILING.
AN classes of persona who have called upon the
Gevernor have announced, with a great deal of
oranimity, that they were heartily rejeleed to he
Data in the old Union again at MINDS Of a grand
and great country ; many of them were nem from
the beginning.
BOW THE ONIVALBY NOW MIL
The chivalry have now no hesitation in emote
tiog the Davis Government with fraud, starvation,
destitution, and all manner of iniquities. They
have no hesitation now In informing the Governor
that the rebellion commenced In that spirit, and
was ended pith those disgraceful results which
have added additional infamy to the crime of trea
son. It is only since the triumphs of the Union .
army that they have professed to experience any
relief Imp these great wrongs, under the motion
of usurped authority.
COS risonriox A 7115 123011GANIZATION.
The Governor is importuned. more upon the sub.
jeer of confiscation than any other. The rebels are
extremely nervous upon this point, which consumes
more of the Executive time and receives more of his
attention than any question which is now under
consideration in the reconstruction. There seems
to be such a general conscientiousnesa of guilt
among the chivalry as to render them incapable of
understanding or applying the proclamations of the
esident on the subject of reorganizing the State.
The Governor has done much to repress the solid
tulle of then, moot culpable, and explain the prolla-
MationS of the President to their satisfaction.
Many of these broken-down chivalry are relieved of
much anxiety after these interviews, who return to
their former homes with the Executive comfort so
considerately elven, to communicate the goad news,
which has the effect of Stiolulating an extra curl of the
lips and voieS of the fair ones at the sYankeeoffiterS
as they peas by their residence, since they have a
hope that their property will not be contisiated, or
In any way Involved by the act The Governor
deems the question of political suffrage the most din•
noun to settle in the reorganization of the State.
The Government, of which belt the chief Executive,
has designated, in order to exercise the right of suf
irog 0, that the individual must be white; mast take
the oath to support the restored goVernment of
Virginia; that they hgve not done anything to sup.
port the rebellion since 1864. Along the. valley of
Virginia and the nerder there is a very considerable
number of men who can conscientiously take the
proscribed oath. Then, of MUM there Sire other
parts of the State in which everybody has been en
gaged; one way or the other, against the na
tional authority. The people in some localities
were poor and without clothing, food, and other
necessaries of life, which had to be supplied
by the rebel authorities to a certain extent.
General Lee not unfrequently made his ap
pends directly to the people for sustenance and
supplies forlahi army, which they Could not refuse, as
they were connected by other ties than political des
tiny with the ragamuffin followers of the rebel chief
tain. The instincts of humanity, without any sym.
pathy with the rebellion, might have dictated such
a course, and, in some cases,very probably did. This
support— for• it can be regarded in no:other light—hes
been rendered to a much greater extent since 1864
than at any previous period. The neeeSeitles of the
cafe have required it. Some were willing contribu
tors to the rebellion in this respect, while others
yielded to the force of circumstances.
WHO ALIZB D/SPRANoELIBEH 1
It is very obvious to the Governor that a large
class of persona cannot take the oath, and are, by
the restored government of Virginia, disfranchised.
He has ascertained, after consulting with the most
Intelligent persons, that, in organizing some of the
counties, there are not qualified constituents enough
to fill the county offices,and that hardly one-twentieth
of the people could take the oath and beconsevoters.
The Governor thinks that, under the circumstances,
there !serest danger of what he terms the honora
ble and truthful men refusing to take the oath,
while these who Me nothing for the privilege of
voting may indifferently avau themselves of the
opportunity.
The Governor is of the opinion that, while many
of the soldiers, who were in the repel Service against
their inclination, and from force of circumstances,
the policy of excluding their elders, who
can exert an influence upon those who
served under them, will be productive of great evils.
The disiranehised officers would create, he thinks, a
great deal of sympathy, which would enable them
to control votes which might be used for improper
ends, while the bane of proscription rested upon
them. The Governor regrets this, since the soldiers
and a large number of politicians, whom he deems
to be every way inferior to the excluded class, eau
cyder the law become qualified voters. Ile deeply
aS mparbizes with the political disabilities of the
chivalry, who have stirred up the vary depths of his
compassion. He is even now considering whether
it is best to . restore them to their former political
rights or forever disgrace them.
WHAT GOVERNOR TIERPONT SAYS.
In speaking upon this subject yesterday, Gover
nor Dupont remarked that he would sooner cast
his lot among the proscribed class, under all the
penalties of the authorities, than to be identified
with the Copperheads of Ohio, Indiana, Pennsyl
vania, New York, or Boston, who naa the dealt.° to
injure the country, but did not possess the courage
enter the field in support of their treason.
The above is neither speculation or conjecture,
but may be relied upon as correct in every particu
lar. ROLLIN.

New Tors, June 7.—The dnti-Slavery Standard
of to morrow will contain a full report of Wendell
Phillips' speech at the New England B.ntl•Slavery
Convention, in Boston, last week, In which he is re
ported as having advocated the repudiation of the
United States debt. What Mr. Phillips really did
say, was that reconstruction on the basis of white
suffrage would be followed by the assumption by
Congress of the Confederate debt, which would be a
fraud upon the people, and against which he
protested in advance. "I, for one," said Mr.
Phillips, "here avow my purpose to be bound
by no such fraud, however covered up. I will be a
lifelong advocate of the repudiation of any rebel

Assgtant Judge Advocate Hingham Stated that
It was alleged in the oblige and specifisations that
this !conspiracy was entered into by the parties
named, and by °these unknOWn, fie sited lus4anees
in which the declarations of parties who ware
neither indicated nor on trial were admissablo as
far as those declarations had a bearing upon cases
of conspiracy, and the priaclple was wets daUled
that a letter written and never delivered was-ad
missible on a trial of cobeptracy. The letter In
question would not prouably atfoot the aosused at
the bar, but it should not be excluded from the
Cue rt on ths t Recount. The speaker contended th st
a sufficient foundation had been laid to justify the
intreduriton of the letter, as it had bean Shown
that Booth plotted the ass4asinetion of the ereat

Newborn, N. 0., and that Leis infernal letter was
picked up in the vicinity of Newborn, and the fan:
that it was written by a conspirator was patent on
its race. Had the letter been found in tue packet

GREAT BRITAIN
In the House of Commons, on the 28th, Sir J.
Walsh asked Lord Palmerston whether tae Go
vernment had received from the United states any
linnet official demand for compensation to &Mari
can subjects for losses unstained by the Alabama. or
aby other Occfederate cruiser alleged to have been
equipped in British ports.
Lord Palmerston said correspondence bad been
going on for some time between the two Govern
ments, on the prizes taken by the Alabama and alt
the vessels of the same kind. There had bean re
calved within the last few days further correspon
dence an the subject through NM Adams, but Were
had net yet been time to reply to it. Re =WA . add
that in that correspondence, in which each G,vern
ment bad stated its views of the case, the qu)stlon
bad been diccuced in the moat kindly and amicable
tat ma.
Mr. Baxter asked Lord Palmerston whethsr, in
locking at the changed aspect of affairs in America,
Eft Majesty 's Government, either separately, or in
connection with that of the United. States, would
consider the propriety of sending a squadron to the
coast of Cuba, to effectually terminate the slave
trade.
Lord Palmerston Said that twelve months ago the
Government invited the Government of the United
Mates to participate in Its measures on the West
coast of Africa, but Whinnies arose on account or
neutral and belligerent rights, welch could not be
overcome; but, in the present altered state of Wags,
Her Majesty's Government had renewed the
application to the United States, stating that
their cruisers employed In that service w•mid
be received with every privilege and courtesy which
belonged to a friendly nation. and that former dilii;
conies no longer existed. No representation has
been made as to cooperation on the Cuba coast, but
H they assented to oc.operation on the African coast
be bad no doubt they would also cordially °coope
rate on the °Oast of Cuba.
. . .
The London Times, in an editorial, trusts that
there is nothing In the Alabama affair whit% need
cause apprehensions of rupture either now or at
any future time. The Amerloan commercial ma
rine bee Indeed Suffered, but such a calamity must
be expected when a maritime and trading State en
ters into a contest with an energetic and active
enemy. It is with a clear oonsclence that the Gz
vernment which declined every Invitation to Inter
fere in the war, even by offers of meolatlou, now
stands- on its legal rights sad refuses to make any
compensation where it has done no wrong.
The Lobubb Daily News hopes that IL President
Johnson does not intend to give tip the claim, he
will soon prefer it, so that one way or the other the
matter may be brought to settlement. It adds :
" Lora Palmerston's reply last tight was very un
satisfactory. It would have been very easy to say
that a Pineal and official demand bad been ma to
by the 'United States Government, or that It had
upt, Lord Palmerston."
The .News trusts that soma member of Parliament
will insist upon knowing whetter a definite demand
has been made tor indemnity, and whether arty new
demands have been made since President Jounson's
accession to power, and it adds: " We have not the
EAr htest doubt as to the Inevitable reply."
IRO correspondence of the London Morning Post
says that the correspondence can lead to only one
retult, namely: Unconditional refusal. on our part
to indemnify the Americana for the losses cocoa
aimed by the chances of war.
The Timer, in another editorial on these claims,
says that not a stogie precedent can be produced,
we believe, for the allowance of a similar *taint,
nicer similar circumstances, and no rule or natural
justice enjoins us to pay for mischief done by the
Al ri Mina.
The Times questions whether the American
Government did their duty with adequate visor
against these privateers,. and says that it was
onebtiess our part to prevent the Alabama and
her consorts from putting to sea, if due evidenee of
their warlike equipment could be Obtained. Bat
whose part was it, to capture theta after they
had given na the slip Z As it was, the United
States Government preterred to employ all
their available fleet in blockading the enemy's
coast, leaving us to guard every outlet of
our own as best we could Surety, it would he
somewhat reasonable as well as untenable In law
to hold us liable for every case in which the Conte
-
estate agents were too quick for us. For those
British subjects, who did all in their power to
thwart the honorable intentions of the Govern
ment, we have not a word to say ; but their tots
were not the lots of the nation, welch has Buffered
more than individuals have gained by the untoward
escape of the Alabama.

Politioally it was considered favorable. The possi

on a demand for extradition in the event of Jeffer
son Davis having escaped, has been definitely
extinguished ; but the public will await with ex.
trent° interest the news as to the spirit In whisk
he Is likely to be dealt with, not merely from
its bearing on the few remaining years of
the life of an Individual, but because of the effect
it must have on the national reputation for future
ger eratlone Those, however, who know the Amerl-
Can character beat, and wins are aware that, except
under sudden excitement, they are amongst the
most placable people In the world, have little fear
of the result.
The London Index, before the news was received
of the capture of Mr. Davis, continued to uphold
the rebellion, and talked of a new war In Texas,
Louisiana, and Arkansas, eautled by the Govern•
merit of President Johnson driving the Southern
people Into extremities.

scattered appearance of the cereals growing.:long

rion by which to estimate the character of crops in

property within her borders has not been so exten
