The Session of the General Assembly of North Carolina, appointed to be held at Raleigh ou the third Monday in August next, is hereby postponed until further orders. The Command ing oflicer of the l'ost of Raleigh will transmit, to the Governor of North Carolina, a copy of this order, with tho request that tho same be communicated to the presiding officers and mem bers of the Senate and House of Commons. "V. The Governor of North Carolina, the Treasurer, the Speaker of the House of Com mons, the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finances, and the Chairman of tho House Com mittee of Way s and Means, are heieby consti tuted a Hoard to consider and report upon tho expediency, practicability and cost of providing a j-uitublo temporary place of confinement for pri.-oners undergoing sentence for felony. In determining the location, the Hoard will take into consideration the probable erection hereafter of a Penitentiary and the employment of the pris oners in mining, or other work in metals, quarry ing marble, brick-making, or manufactures, whereby the Penitentiary may be self-supporting, and the convicts taught some useful art.'' Not Couhect. We find in some of our ex changes the following telegraphic dispatch : Suspt nsiun of Jury Trials in JS'urfk Carolina. Raleigh. X. C., Aug. G. An order has been i.-sued by General Sickles t suspend all jury trials mi account of non compliance with General Order No. 'A'2. ordering the revision of the jury li.-fs. All jury trials, upon the receipt of this order, were suspended. This dispatch conveys an erroneous impression. Jury trials in North Carolina have not been sus pended. Gen, Sickles ordered the suspension of trials in the criminal court of the city' of Wil mington until his orders in regard to summoning Juries were complied with. That's all. Once for all, we will state that all civil laws, not in conflict with Gen Sickles' orders, are in full force in North Carolina. Tkeasuke Founo. On Friday last three or four of our citizens found in the South-western suburbs of this city, a lot of massive silver ware, buried in a branch. The search was undertaken in consequence of a letter received by Mr Wm. A. Williams from a man in Connecticut, who represented that he had been a soldier in the Federal army and had buried this silver ware near Charlotte in tho Spring of 1805 (probably after the surrender aud when troops were first sent to garrison this section of the State). The soldier sent a diagram of the locality with particular directions how to find the treasure. When we saw it the ware was covered by rust and mud so much that wo could not tell whether any name was upon it or not. After being cleaned probably a name may be found. Of course it was stolen from some one by the soldier, who has since repented of his bad conduct. Dkied Fkuit. We hope some merchant in Charlotte will make arrangements to purchase and ship dried fruit of all sorts, especially dried blackberries, cherries, &c. We see it announced that one merchant, alone, in Salem last week bought 30.0UO pounds of dried blackberries. For the information of the public in this section, we ipjote from the Winston Sentinel the prices paid in Salem and Winston for dried fruit: Dried Peaches, peeled, per pound, 10 to 15 cts.

Sickles' order staying the collection of old debts, Chief Justice Chase, while holding the U. S. Court at Raleigh some weeks ago. decided to grant judgments in cases tried in his Court, thus ignoring the mili tary order. But it seems that one military officer in this State, at least, prefers to obey Gen. Sickles' order instead of Chief Justice Chase. The matter is thus stated in a dispatch from Washington : "U. S. Marshal Goodloe, of the district of North j Carolina, has reported to the Attorney General that the process of the United Mates Circuit Court, lately held by Chief Justice Chase, is ob structed by order of Lt. Col. Frank, Command ing Post of Wilmington. The ground is expressly mentioned in the order to be that, in each of the cases obstructed, the cause of the action adjudicated upon by Judge Chase occurred between the 19th of December, 8f0. and the 15th of May, 1865 Gen. Sickles, in order No. 10, having forbidden Judges to en tertain any suits for matters accruing between those dates. Marshal Goodloe has suspended action until he hears from Gen. Sickles or receives instructions from Washington, being anxious to avoid any collision. This matter is regarded as a very grave event; although the impression prevails that the Com mander at Wilmington has acted without the knowledge of Gen. Sickles, who is confidently ex pected to disapprove his action. Goodloe's course has been approved at the Attorney General's office, but no step will be taken until the time has passed for a report from the Commanding Gen eral." By the following from tho Wilmington Journal it appears that the oflicer at Wilmington acted in accordance with express orders from Gen. Sickles: "It is but justice to Col. Frank to state that he is in no manner accountable for this action and was simply carrying out instructions received from District Headquarters. He hearing that these executions, proceeding from the Distrtct Court, were in the hands of the United States Deputy Marshal at this place. Col. Frank com municated these facts to General Sickles, on the 14th of July, asking for instructions. A reply was received on the 27th of the same month, bearing date tho 23d, in which the action taken by Col. Frank was directed. It will thus be shown he did not interpret the order differently from what General Sickles meant, but simply obeyed instructions. The matter is betweeu the Department at Washington and General Sickles himself." Inasmuch as our own citizens are not permit ted to use the law in collecting old debts, we are glad that Gen. Sickles has determined to prevent non-residents or others from collecting through tho U. S. Courts. Mean Conduct. The following paragraph is copied from the Newport (Vermont) Express: "Jefferson Davis visited Stanstead last week and was the guest of Mr T. Lee Terrill. Fred erick Terrill, Esq., brought him from Sberbrooke there in a very quiet manner on Wednesday last, professedly to see the country and to consult in regard to an investment in the gold mines of Ilatley. On Thursday Mr Terrill, in his best turnout, took Jeff, about the village to ride, whon several incidents occurred not altogether pleas ing, we should imagine, to either the host or his guest. Not only boys but men hooted at him in the street, and greeted him with those familiar words, "We'll hang Jeff. Davis to a sour apple tree." Ho was frequently asked where he had left his "petticoats,"' and various like remarks more suggestive than pleasing everywhere fell upon his ear. One lady gave utterance to her feelings by hurling a stone at him." Mr Davis ought not to havo went into Vermont under airy circumstances, but nothing can ex cuse the mean, impolite aud savage conduct of the people of Stanstead in insulting and maltreat ing a stranger on a visit to their town. If Gen. Butler or any other objectionable Northern" man were to visit the South and receive the slightest insult, we should hear a terrible howl about the heathenism of Southern people. Consistency is a jewel. Kentucky. The opponents of the Republi can Radical party carried Kentucky, at the late State elections, by about 40,000 majority. VW It appears that Gen. Sheridan, the com mander of Louisiana and Texas, lives and rides like a Prince, even if he is only an American. A New Orleans correspondent of tho Missouri Republican gives the following description of the carriage in which Gen. Sheridan rides aboui New Orleans : "The state carriage used is a landau; a covered carriage which opens at the top, so as to givo an unobstructed view of the inmates. Therein sits the General, surrounded by select members of his staff, he and they bedecked all over with gold lace, with gold buttons and other ornamentation. To this vehicle are attached six horses, and these are caparisoned with the most elaborately orna mented harness. All this is finished off with a grand display of long white plumes, tipped with red feathers,- which are fastened to the horses' heads in such fashion as to cause them to un dulate in all the graceful mazes of poetic emotion. The cortege is completed by a train of outriders and guards, consisting of two regiments of mount ed troops, who, on such occasions, appear in their best bib and tucker." Of course this is the day of progress. The man who thiuks that aristocracy was killed by the abolition of slavery, is a simpleton. The University of New York. From a catalogue of this medical institution just re ceived, we learn that its next session will open on October 14th, 18G7. Tho lectures will be given in the building adjoining the New Vork hospital, as they were last year. The graduates of the University will perceive at once the im portant advantages arising from a connection irith this, the largest surgical hospital in Amer ica. The hospital is open to students every day throughout the year. Judge Chase pays tax on an income of $700,000 per year. When he went to Washington, in 1864, he was not worth $ 10,000. He has been a luck' financier for himself, if not for the coun try, lie aud Jay Cooke have made "loyalty" pay. - Sensible Queen Victoria has published a book on the early life of the Frince consort. There is a letter from Frince Alfred to his mo ther, giving an account of the manner in which Her Majesty popped the question. He says : "The Queen sent for me alone to her room a few days ago and declared to me in a genuine out burst of love and affection that I had gained her whole heart, and would make her intensely happy if I would make the sacrifice of sharing her life with h?r." Such was the sensible man ner in which Her Majesty exercised her queen ly prerogative, Tue Surra tt Tbial. The trial of John II. Surratt, charged with aiding and abetting the niorder of President Lincoln, has been going on in "Washington City for several weeks past The arguments of lawyers occupied about five days and closed on Wednesday last, when Judge Fisher delivered his charge to the Jury. The Judge made the following points: First. That a conspiracy formed in time of war to take the life of the President and Vice President of the Republic and the heads of the Executive Departments, for the purpose of aid ing the enemies of the Federal Government, by throwing it into anarchy and confusion, is trea son as heinous and as hurtful to the people of this country as compassing the death of the King or Queen of Great Britain is to the sub jects of that realm. Second. That every person engaged in 3uch conspiracy as long as he continues a member of it is responsible, not only for the act of treason, but for aoy murder or less crime which may flow from it. Third.- That the Government may waive the charge of treason against any or all the conspi rators aod proceed against them for the smaller crime of murder, included in the greater crime of treason. Fourth. That under an indictment for a mur der resulting from the prosecution of such con spiracy, evidence of the entire scope of the con spiracy may be considered in estimating the heinous character of the offense laid in the in dictment Fifth. That it was not necessary to aver in the indictment tho fact that Abraham Lincoln, the victim of the murder, was, at the time of its commission, President of the United States, or to prove it in order to allow the jury to take that fact into the account in determining the heinous character of the crime, lt being a fact of which the Courts will take judicial cogni zance. Sixth. That he who does an act by another docs it by himself and is responsible for the consequences in criminal as well as civil cases. Seventh. That although an alibi, when clear ly established, forms a complete and unanswer able defense, the mere absence from the imme diate scene of a crime, resulting from a conspi racy unrepented of and unabanduned by the party charged will not avail him if he was at some other place assigned him performing his part in the conspiracy. Eighth. That this pica is, unless clearly made out, always regarded with suspicion, and a circumstance weighing against him who at tempts it, because it implies an admission of the truth of the facts alleged against him, and the correctness of the inference drawn from them. Niuth. That flight from the scene of the crime, the fabrication of false accounts and the concealment of instruments of violence, are cir cumstances indicating guilt. Tenth. Although a confession in the slight est degree tainted with the promise of favor, or by duress or fear, is not admitted as evidence against him who makes it, yet if made freely and voluntarily it is one of the surest points of guilt. The foreman of the jury requested a copy of the recorded evidence. Judge Fisher said it was unusual. The defence was willing, but the prosecution objected, so the Jury retired. On Friday last the jury stood 11 for acquittal to 1 for conviction. A Highway Robbery Organization. Information was lodged with the Mayor of this city yesterday, tending to show that a collusion existed between several parties in the City for the purpose of carrying on a general system of highway robbery against peaceful and inoffen sive citizens, in which one II. E. Foster, a re cently appointed policeman was implicated. Elijah Kedar (white) being sworn, testified before his Honor, that some three or four months since, he was approached by Foster, who endeavored to prevail upon him to connect him self with a secret organization formed for the benefit of the parties engaged and the plunder of such citizens as they could conveniently lay hands upon, with small chance of detection Kedar states that he refused, and was again ap proached on the subject. Ho was then taken to a house on the Plank Iload, near the Toll House, where one Crosby resided, and where every attempt was made to induce him to con nect himself with this gang. The proposed robbery of some rich old citizen on the highway was openly discussed before Kedar, who, de clining to risk his safety with such parties, left them and returned home. A few days after wards he mentioned this circumstance to a few of his friends, and shortly thereafter left the city for some tiohing ground on the river. While there he received a message from Crosby, who, hearing he had made these disclosures, attempt ed to intimidate him. Kedar thereupon wrote a statement of tho facts to a Constable of the city, hoping by this means the gang would come to the notice of the law. Until a few days since nothing was done in this matter, when policeman Holdcn hearing the facts of the case brought them to the atten tion of the Marshal. Foster was arraigned be fore his Honor, and Kedar summoned as a wit ness. This person then made a deposition to the above effect. The evidence of Kedar was corroborated by Mr Watson Hall, who had heard him narrate these particulars on a previous oc casion. Foster was discharged from the police, being justly deemed unworthy to remain longer in the employ of the city. We understand the case will not rest here, and steps will be taken to bring Foster, Crosby and the gang before the proper tribunal aud, if possible, have them pun ished. It thus becomes evident to our citizens that an unlawful and villainous gaog, whose intent is plunder, has existed, and may still exist, in our city. All lovers of law and order, peace and quiet, cannot desire otherwise than to see those implicated punished and the gang broken up. We trust that they have at least received a warning from these disclosures, which will j deter them from luture operations. ) tlming ! ton Journal. The Russian grain crops indicate a heavy yield.

J Mr Editor: While passing through the woods the other day at the foot of Paint Moun tain, I was surprised on seeing just before me on the ground, the bones of five men bleaching in the sun. The neighbors informed me thst they were the bones of men captured at Camp Vance, N. C, by Col. Kirk, of the Federal army, and brought to the Noly Chucky river, from whence they made their escape and was trying to make their wav back to the Old North State, bv a j bridle way across Paint Mountain, and just as they had reached the State line, they were over hauled by a band of robbers from Laurel, Madison county, N. C, and Greene county, Tenn , and taken to a very secluded spot, and there were all shot dead, and left for the wild beasts of the forest to feed upon their bodies. These notorious robbers have all met their fate except two, who live in Madison county, where they can be found at any time, if properly looked after. The men murdered were all North Carolinians, and two of them gave their names as Wilcox and Smith. They were murdered in the year 1864, about two weeks after the capture of Camp Vance by Kirk. I write this for the benefit of those whom it may concern. The bones still lie bleaching in the deep forest. I shall wait for an answer to this for a few weeks, and if uo father or mother or friend claims them, I shall bury them in a large box together. Four of them were men grown, and one was a very small boy, perhaps 15 years old from the size and looks of his skull cannot be over 15 or 16 Any information concerning them can be had by addressing me at Limestone Springs, Greene county, Tenn. Any parties wishing to see them can be piloted by myself if I am called on . Mc. Fast Day. The Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, make the following recommendation for a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer, which-is extracted from their Ad dress : "We propose that Friday, 16th of August, be observed in all our churches as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer that God would be pleased to pour out His Spirit upon all flesh; that lie would show us our sins and help U3, by a true repentance, to turn away from them; that He would send forth laborers into His harvest, who may serve Him more faithfully and efficiently than we have done, that He would build up the church and comfort her waste places; that He would grant us all the blessings, temporal and spiritual we have need of. And we further pro pose that this day of special fasting and prayer be preceded, wherever practicable, by religious exer cises begun on the previous Sabbath and contin ued day by day till the Sabbath following. And now brethren, we commend you to God and to the word of His Grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which is sanctified. H. II. Kavanaugii, James O.

Cheering reports reach us from every section of the District as to the prospect of a good cotton crop. The corn crop has suffered to some extent by the drought, but the rains of the past week which has been abundant for pres ent need, will no doubt increase the yield beyond the anticipations of a few days ago. The farmers are in much better humor, and of course we share in the general spirit. Lancaster Ledger. Destruction op Churches Oa Tuesday night last two Baptist Churches at Riley's Creek, in this county, near Lillington, were en tirely destroyed by fire. The fire was evidently the work of an incendiary. Malicious, design ing men, who are so lost to all sense of honor and reverence for religion, as to oausc the de struction of edifices of this character are deserv ing of the gallows, and should meet with the penalty the law prescribes for those convicted of aison. We trust that these vile incendiaries may be caught. Wilmington Journal. Another Order by Gen. Sickles. Charleston, Aug. 8. Gen.
