Wilson,' Esq, declines being a candidate in this county for the State Convention. We know that thejre has been a very general desire expressed .by the people for Mr Wihson to allow his name to be used, but he thinks it best to decline on the . ground that a question might be ruised as to.hia eligibility to a seat in th Convention. It may be that he comes within the 13th exception of the President's pro- , - . T L . ... where there - is the last mobabjhty of a man's .... 4. . - , . : , " V B 7,,ou!u' u ls " " him o dechne. Mr ,I,on is opposed to di..ff anything that would retard the restoration of the State to the Union, and is anxious that the work goon in harmony. Hereafter, if the people of the county wish it. we suppose he will be able and willing to servo them. - ' I3F" We refer those desiring to purchase new good:, or to trade iu Charlotte, to our advertis ing columns. regular gang; rtf Lor.e thieves in this section. Five hordes and tnuli:s were stolen in one niht. recently, from persons living on or. near tho Na tion Ford Iioad. Pfople iu the country are annoyed very much by persons seizing horses who represent them selves as agents of the Government. 'Our people are so anxious to comply with the demands of lawful authority, that they are disposed to suffer themselves to be imposed on rather than, resist what they frequently consider illegal acts. It is no uncommon thing to see .men hero from a dis junce of 4U and GO miles in search of horses and mules which were taken from them by either real or bogus agents of the government. The authori ties here mnnifef a disposition to remedy these difficulties, but it is frequently impossible to find either the stock or tho person who seized it. Treatment of Pkisoxers. A man named Wirz, who had charge of the prison at Anderson ville, Ga., during the war, is being tried by a military court at Washington on the charge cf cruel treatment to Federal prisoners. If Wirz, or any other pi iou-keeper, wilfully and malicious ly deprived the prisoners of food and medicines he ought to be punished, but wo think it will ap pear on a fair investigation that the Confederate Government treated prisoners as well as it was possible to treat them - under tho circumstances. In many instances suffering was endured because the authorities did not have it in their power to relieve it. Our own soldiers, both in hospital and iu tho. field, suffered frequently for proper food, medicines and clothing. Our stores of such things were not always equal to the demand, and, besides, a large portion of what we had was des troyed by the U. S. troops, thus making i-t more difficult to relieve the wants of both Northern and Southern soldiers. Southern soldiers, who were in Northern prisons, complain bitterly of their treatment by the U. S. authorities, of being de prived of a sufficient quantity of food, 6cc, but wo havo always believed that it was the desire and intention of the authorities of. both sections to treat prisoners as well as tho means at hand would permit. There may be isolated cases on both sides where Surgeons and prison-keepers nctd inhumanly and meanty, but we do not think ti.uch conduct was approved hy either Government. " N. C. Post Offices.

The ann ual meeting of the stockholders of the Western N. C. Ilailroad was -held at Newton ou Thursday last.

In a STEW.--Sonie person or.personsjT 5 not having tho fear.. ot.- his r.majesty before their eyes, continues to "deVtl our rather good-natured coteraporary, the Editor of the Raleigh" Pro- gress. . Th,e result !s, he keeps in a bad- haaior and proclaims that there is great ' disaffection ;" in North Carolina to the Government of the U. S; Northern correspondents and papers are silly enough to believe that. our brother'Editor of the Progress tells the truth, "and hence theyre-echo the charge against oux people of disaJBEection.' In this way much harm" is being done the good people of the Old North State. And, to make the matter worse, the editor of the Progress wants to occupy a seat in the State f Convention, but some of the "loyal people" of Wake county seem to think that' he answered before he was called, and have expressed a pre ference for some one else. Of course this is treasonable 1n the estimation of the1 ProrPH Jcaiior, lunsmucti as he is the only simon-pure , i e .- , r' loyal man m the.coanty of Wake! No wonder the Etor of tho Pr charges tho people o North Caroliuft with di,affeCtion. towars tht Government, when a portion of them are opposed to sending him to the Convention (he being the Government). If he is not elected to the Conven tion wo may . expect, trouble in the State, for if the strong arm of the country is not brought down upon us, the Editor of the Progress will "bust his breeches' and cause a breach of tho piece. " We beg that all will quit "deviling" our rather good-natured coiemporary, and quit making him use naughty language. Ho was as good a. seces sionist and war-man a3 there was in the State; and if he now wants to make the Northern peo ple think that he is the only true-blue Union man in North Carolina, let hhn alone. He will soon play-out his hand. Some Difference Before the war it cost about $3 freight to send a' bale of Cotton from this place to New York. Now, we are informed, it costs $14. . .- . f Refusing a Bribe. A case recently occur- red nt Augusta, Ga., which proves that there is one incorruptible public officer at least. Leopold Cohn, of Augusta, offered a bribe of two hundred thousand dollars to General Grosvenor, Provost Marshal General of Georgia, for a favorable de cision in a cotton case. Gen. Grosvenor refused the bribe and preferred charges against Cohn. Cohn made the following endorsement on the copy of the charges and specifications: Augusta, Ga., Aug. 10, 18G5. I admit the truth of the charges and specifica tions contained'hereih, in every particular, and appeal to Maj. Gen. Steedman foj clemency in my behalf. . ., L. COHN. Whereupon the following order was issued by Gen Steedmau : . "That the said Leopold Cohn shall leave the Department of Georgia within 24hours. to-wit : .On or before 12 o'clock, M., of the 12th day of August, I8G0. and take up his residence at a point not nearer Augusta than Charleston, S. C, and not to return during the military occupancy of Georgia, under penalty of arrest and punishment for disobedience of orders.' Eleven thousand dollars of the sum offered, had been sent to Gen. Grosvenor, which was confisca ted to the relief of the' poor xf Aug jsta. A pretty expensive business for Mr Cohn. . Mississirri C.onvention. The State Con vention of Mississippi has transacted its business and adjourned. A Governpr, Congressmen and State officers are to be elected on the first Mon day of October. The Convention nominated Judge E. S. Fisher for Governor. "An ordinance was passed ratifying all laws and official acts passed since the act of secession not repugnant to the United States and Mississippi; repealing all laws authorizing the payment of dues to the State in Confederate scrip; repealing all laws au thorizing the distillation of spirits on State ac count; ratifying all official accounts, proceeed ings, judgments, decrees.- &c, of the several courts; legalizing all sales made by administra tors and others acting in a judicial capacity; au thorizing executors and others to compromise with persons against whom they hold notes as to the real value of the property for which' such notes have been given; authorizing ex parte tes timony to be taken to prove whethe or not con tracts which have been made contemplated specie or currencjT pa3'inepts; ratifying all marriages which hare been consummated since ' January, ISol, whether celebrated with novel forms or not. The Convention refused to submit its action to the people. Governor Sharkey has issued a proclamation, calling upon the people to form two companies in each County one of cavalry and the other of in fantryfor the purpose of restoring order and putting a stop to frequent murders and robberies. A Northern paper says : President Johnsou's congratulatory telegram to the Mississippi Convention has been publish ed. He says he will restore the writ of habeas corjnis and. remove the - troops at the earliest possible moment, or so soon as the fetate shall have made sufficient progress and her people re turned to their allegiance. He hopes, the ex ample of Mississippi will be followed by other States- . Retl iixed Home.

' By the President: W. Seward, Sec'y of State. .. - There is great excitement among the clergy ip-Missouri. It is reported and believed at St. Louis that Archbishop KeDrick has notified the clergy in his diocese that they must not take tb offensive oath prescribed by tho new Constitu tion under penalty.of being suspended from their f Unctions. "The Presbyterians, Southside Meth odists', Baptists and Episcopalians also detest the Oath, and one of the Episcopalian papers has issued an address io the clergy of that State ad vising them to disobey the law. Opposition to the oath is manifesting itself in all parts of the State, but Gov. Fletcher has expressed his in tention to" enforce the law.- -As the time ap proaches when the- issue must be decided, the anxiety of the people about the result is said to be becoming quite painful. Those, clergymen who refuse to take the oath will not be allowed to preach. It is said that Gen Jos. K. Jolrnston, of the late Confederate array, will be ur;d as a proper person lor the position of President of the Rich mond and Danville Railroad.- It is a position of great importance on account of that road being the direct line from the North to points west of Wilmington, North Carolina, and east of Mobile, Alabama; and to iosure the traveling public against delays, and to keep the road in the best order possible, it will be to the interests of the stockholders to secure the services of the man who is best calculated to consult the interests of all, and one. whose abilities are well known and universally acknowledged. It is asserted that the gentleman above' referred to will accept the position if it be offered him. , , . - ' Doubtful. The New York Tribune's Mata moras correspondent says the'Jate Confederate Gen. Shelby has organized a corps, of 4000 mounted men for the Mexican service, and is in command of it. The corps is formed entirely of men of the late Confederate army.' The men are to receive $40 per month, out of which they are to subsist themselves. Washington, Aug. 29. The trial of Jeffer son Davis will take place before a United Stales Circuit Court, but the particular one has not yet been designated. As the military operations against the United States were directed by orders given from Richmond, it is probable that the trial will take place in Virginia, at Norfolk, in which event Chief Justice'Chase will preside, as that State is embraced in the judicial rcuit as signed to him.

The la requires that all incomes over six hun dred, and not exceeding five thousand dollars, snail be taxed at the rate of uve per cent, and the excess over five thousand at the rate of ten per cent.

Extraordinary Decision of a Negro Meeting. The Mobile Advertiser of the 16th makes the following extraordinary announce ment, oh the authority of a citizen who was present at a meeting of negroes cn the previous .Sunday, near that city : "Nine hundred of them assemhled to consider their condition, their riphts and duties under the new state of existence upon which they have been so suddenly launched. Our infor mant was surprised at the hard, practical souse and moderation of tone with which the spokes men of the meeting urged their views. After long talk and careful deliberation, this meeting resolved, hy a vote of seven hundred voices to two hundred, that they had made a practical trial for three months of the freedom which the war has' bequeathed to them; that its realities were far from being so flattering as their imag inations had paiuted it; that they had discovered that the prejudices of color were by no means confined to the people of the South, but on the contrary, that it was stronger and more marked against them in the strangers from the North, than the home people of the South, among whom they had been reared; that negrocs,.no more than white men, could live without work, or be f comfortable without homes; that their Northern deliverers from bondage had not, as they- had expested and been taught to expect, undertaken to provide for their happy existence in their new state of freedom, and that their old masters had ceased to take any interest in them, or have . n .1 j t ii .1 . a Care for lheni and fina ,v t,iat their Iast state was wt)rse"than the first and it was their delib erate conclusion that their truo happiness and well-being required them to return to the homes which they had abandoned in a moment of ex citement, and go to werk again under their old masters. And so the resolutions were passed, and at last accounts the wanderers were packing up their little stock of moiable goods, prepara tory to the execution ot their sensible purposes."

Mr Editor: I hare, through great tribulation, achieved that much of tbe distance Northward. You will see by this that 1 hare "pit up" otoe old Tavern, and mean (fnids permitting) to bang on here for a time, enjoy the generous hospiulity of "the House" of Virginia. M was most agreeably surprised to find that many alterations and Improve ments had been effected. Calcemine, paint,. sosp and water has wrongbt "like a cbartn" in cbaoging the aspect of things around lue. I was as agreeably aurpriced to find that in other respects things were unchanged, and that tbe same old hearty welcome greeted me that tbe attention was untiring, and the fare fully as good as st any House- North or South. Our friends will be, as I was, surprised an.! pleased to find our old friend "the Doctor" still at. the desk. "None from our section will fail to. - fare . well when he Is around, ne Is .still the courteous gentleman we 1iav known, silent and eolemn as usual, but as full of the old spirit as he " used to was." Here you will find A. B. Jones also, dolnr the "bedding business" as thoroughly as if be bad " served his time " at the popular " Brown's" at Washington; v ... But, pardo'n me, I am getting up "a card" with out the design of doing so, and yet am satisfied that I cannot do better than tell oar friends of tbe Old North State that the Spoiswood 1ms not lowered lis standard, but has nailed it to the mast.
