The term of Wake County Court held here last week, was probably me most laborious in the history of the County. Nearly the entire term was consumed in consider ing and disposing of indictments for offences not xtending to life or limb. One white man and several colored men were whipped for stealing. ft is to be regretted there was no authority to con tinue the Court another week. If this could have been done, the probability is that all the business would have been transacted. The Magistrates in attendance, the Special i 'ourt, and the County Attorney, Mr. Badger, and lhe Sheriff and Clerk, deserve the thanks of the ( bounty for the industrious and able manner in which they discharged their duties. During the term, the Magistrates made un or der to establish a County Workhouse, under the provisions of the recent act of the Legislature. The following gentlemen were appointed Direc tors : It. C. Badger, Q. Busbee, J. Q. Williams, Dr. W. I. Busbee, W. n. High, JX. W. Wynne, V. D. Jones, W. IT. Harrison, and H. A. Hodge. V. J.

The impression stead ily gains ground here that Jefferson Davis will hoou be released from his long imprisonment. This impression, however, is not produced by any action that has as yet been taken by the govern ment that could be construed as a preliminary to bis release, but it is merely the result of a frequent prcssion of opinion to this effect by those na tm "ally supposed to be most competent to do so, as biding cognizant of the probability of such an vent soon transpiring. It is well known that strenuous efforts have lately be m made in Washington, and interviews have been sought with President Johnson over and over aain, though in a more quiet manner than forrneVly, by Charles O'Conor and many other warm Liends of Mr. Davis, for the purpose of making a final effort to secure his conditional I'iirole upon the grounds of his continued ill health. The pressure which lias thus been brought to bear upon President Johnson and other consid erations and influences, it is generally thought, have at last forced him to yield, and that he will shortly grant Jell'. Davis a parole on very nearly the same conditions prescribed to Clement C. Clay. In fact this is the prevailing opinion here, and hiany have remarked, by way of corroboration, lhat'Mrs. Davis has appeared more cheerful and lively since her sudden return from Canada than was ever before noticed in her usually despond- j ng eountenaee.

In b'uUuwestern Georgia, where the yield was formerly one bale to two acres, not more than one bale to ten acres will l realized from the present crop. This is equally true of the other sections. The accounts from Florida represent the lat- drought, followed .by heavy rains, as having se riously injured the cotton crop. One half of what is known as the middle crop will be lost. The cotton prospects of Mississippi and Alabama axe also represented an gloomy, n account of the drought and ravages of the boll worm. Tni: Cotton Phizes. The Prizes offered by Messrs.

M., 1866 : To the Secretary of War : A serious riot has occurred here to-day. I have been in full consultation with the city authorities, and have kept my troops well in hand for such an emergency. The riot commenced unexpectedly, and before the troops could reach the scene of acticm a number of persons were killed and wounded. 1 have lelt compelled to declare martial law, and nave appointed a military governor of the city. All is quiet now. Several prominent gentlemen connect ed with the convention are killed or wounded. A. BAIRD, Bvt. Maj. Gen. Headquarters, Department of Louisiana, New Orleans, La, July 30, 1866. ) To the Hon. Edwin M. Stanton, Seerttary of War, Wash inyton, I). C: Sir: I have the honor to inform you that a very seri ous riot has occurred here to-day. I had not been applied to by the convention for protection. But the Lieutenant Governor and the Mayor had freely consulted with me, and I was so fully convinced that it was so strongly the in tention of the city authorities to preserve the peace in order to prevent military interference, that I did not re gard an outbreak as a thing to be apprehended. The Lieutenant Governor had assured me that even if a writ of arrest was issued by the court the sheriff would not attempt to serve it without my permission, and for to-day they designed to suspend it. I ordered a steamer to be at Jackson barracks, three miles below the city, at an early hour in the morning, and a tug to be ready to bear orders to the commanding officer of the First Infan fantry, stationed at that point. At 11:30 o'clock A. M., Lieut. Gov. Voorhees came to see me, and after conversation, he feeling confident at the time of the ability of the police to preserve order, I pro posed to bring to the city four companies an four in ad vance of the supposed meeting of the convention at 6 o'clock P. M., to be kept near by in case they should be required to keep clear the streets in the vicinity of the hall in which the convention was to meet. He agreed with me that it would be very desirable, but left, not ap- Srehending difficulty. At 12 o'clock M. I drove to see udge Howell, president ofjthe convention, to request that arrangements might be made to keep any crowd that might assemble to protect the convention out of the streets, so as to avoid an accidental collision. When I reached his house I learned that the convention was to meet at 12 o'clock M., and that he had gone to it. Returning to my headquartes, I soon discovered a let ter from the lieutenant governor, informing me that large parties of negroes were collecting from all quarters and coming into the centre of the city, yet he was not sure of his information. However, I at once sent for troops. Very soon afterward I leg- ed that a riot had taken place near the convention hall, and I sent a staff officer to in vestigate tho facts. On his return he reported having met Judge Howell, who said the convention nad adjourned for want of a quorum, but would meet again at 11:30 P. M. This reassured me, but I again sent to hasten the arrival of the troops. Immediately after this riot assumed a serious character the police, aided by citizens, became the assailants, and from the evidence 1 am forced to believe exercised great brutality in making the arrests. Finally they attacked the convention hail and a protracted struggle ensued. The people inside the hall gave up some who surrendered, and were attacked afterward ami brutally treated. Quite a large number were injured ; I cannot say how many Governor Hahn, Dr. Dostie, Mr. Fish and perhaps others, members of the convention, among the number. On the arrival of the troops I soon dared the streets, and quiet was restored. From the evideias of bad feeling on the part of the citizens and of sympathy with them on the part of the police. I felt compelled to declare martial law in the citv, and appoint a military Governor, from which I hope good results will ensue. 1 inclose herewith copies of my correspondence with the 1 f - .1 : A ..1. 11 11 . , X I- .SVVTA-MtSl.. mnvor ana oi uicpubcji tvuicu m uuuicuaub turcjuui claims to have received from the President.

In reply, I have the honor to state that the assemblage to which you refer has not, so far as I am aware, the sanction or approbation of any military authority for its meeting. When asked if I intended to furnish the convention a military guard, I have replied, "No; the Mayor of the city and his police will amply protect its sittings." As to your conception of the duty imposed by your oath of of fice, I regiet to differ with you entirely. I cannot under stand how the Mayor of a city can undertake to decide so important and delicate a question as the legal authority upon which a convention claiming to represent the people of an entire State bases its action.

The following dispatch from President Johnson to Lieut. Goy. Voorhees is one from which, in the circumstances that called it forth, satisfactory deduc tions may be drawn. We cannot doubt the President givcrt no countenance to the pretensions of those members of the defunct convention of 1864 who are endeavoring to reinstate it ; and we can only believe that as commander-in-chief he will see that on proper occasions tho judicial and other authorities of the State as now constituted will be protected by the military against violence from within or from without.

The process for their arrest, in the hands of the sheriff, is suspended by General Baird until he re ceives direct instructions from Washington. I showed him j'our dispatch to me. ANDREW J. HERRON, Attorney General. Here follows dispatches from Gen. Sheridan giving par ticulars of the riot. They aro about the samo as previ ously reported. More about the Holt and Stanton Conspiracy to obtain Perjured Testimony against Air. Davis The Dirtiest Piece of Villainy that Government Officials have ever been Concerned in. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that paper under date of August liOth, as follows : In a very few days, I have excellent authority for stating, the press will be called upon to an-, nounce the release from confinement of Jeff. Da vis, on parole or bail, to at all times render him self amenable to the process of the court, which, j it i expected, will dispose of his case next Octo-j ber. The conditional release of Davis is favored by the Attorney General, and, in fact, by every mem ber of the Cabinet excepting Stanton, and the latter is far less emphatic in his opposition since the exposure by the Herald of the liadical con spiracy, and the publication of the correspondence between his friend and counterpart, Judge Advo cate General Holt, and bis man Friday, Sandford Conover, and the suborned witnesses. Perhaps another batch of the correspondence between these worthies will remove the honorable Secreta ry's objections altogether. The following letter, addressed by Snevel, one of the suborned witnesses, to Sandford Conover, at Washington, will give the public some idea of the manner in which the national exchequer is robbed to further the unholy schemes of the Rad icals and their pet Bureaux : JOSEPH SXEVEli TO SANFOKD CONOVER. Westchester House, ) New Yokk, November 14, 1865. j Mr. Sandford Conover : Dear Sir I have been looking for more than a week for the $500 draft promised me from you or the Judge, Holt, but have been disappointed. I don't think I have been treated exactly on the square, for Campbell has had more by nearly $1, 000 than I have, and yet I stretched my conscience just as much as he did, and my testimony, as you and the Judge both said, was just as important as his. I don't like to find fault, but I like still less to beg or to borrow, as I am obliged to, from Campbell, when I ought to be just as well off as he. I don't mean to complain, for I know you have much to attend to, and can't do everything at once, but as all the rest have been better paid than myself, I ought not to be forgot. Please do not fail to send the draft by return mail, for you know this is an awful place to be in without mon ey ; and your petitioner will ever pray. Ilespectfully, yours, JOSEPH SNEVEL The following letter by another of the suborned witnesses, a clerk in the Quartermaster's depart ment, is written on the back of a quartermaster's order in blank for transportation from Baltimore over the Northern Central railroad, and enclosed in an official envelope marked, " Official business. Depot Quartermaster's office. Baltimore, Mary land :" Quaktekviastee's Office, April 27, 1866. Dear Conover I received yesterday morning a letter from Campbell from New York, threatening to go before the Judiciary Committee and expose all that has been devised in the Davis case, and asking me to accompany him, as he and all who will, will get large sums from Jeffs friends for do ing so. I started immediately for Washington and saw General Holt and gave him Campbell's letter. The General assured me that he had known of Campbell's defection for some time, and that you had written the chairman of the com mittee not to examine him, and that ho himself had arranged to send a Judge Advocate to New York that evening to see you, with full instruc tions, and that you would no doubt be able to get the scamp in the traces again, or keep him away and let only such come before the committee as can oe renea on. ijoa grant inai you can ao so ! In order to be of some assistance in the busi- 1 jf i TIC TIC ness, 1 oeg leave to introduce to you iur. juason, the bearer, of whom you have heard me often speak. He can give you some secrets of Camp bell's life, which, if known to the District Attorney, would get him ten years in the State prison ; and you may use them to frighten the traitor inta loy alty again. Mason is quite a stranger in New York, and I hope you may get him to show him the elephant. JLxcuse paper. It is not yet nine o ciock, and the stationery room is not yet open, and I have not a sheet in my desk. Write me by Mason, on his return, all the particulars. Truly, as ever, CARTER. The following is from" the Judge Advocate Gen eral to Conover, introducing Colonel Turner, sent by him on the business referred to in the precede ing letter t : JUDGE HOLT TO SANDFORD CONOVER. ' " War Department, .: r Btjreatj oe" Military Justice, Washington, D.: C, April 26, 1866. Mr Sandford Conover : Dear. Sir This will be presented to you by yuiuuei axirner, duage Advocate, wno win com municate with you fully iij regard to the business wnicn takes him to JSew lork. The . Judi ciary Committee of the House of Representatives are anxious to secure at as early a day as possible the attendance of the witnessess named in a list in Colonel Turner's hands, and I write to request wiac you win at once use all your efforts to secure that result. You probably know the whereabouts of most of them, and through your personal exer tions, aided by others, may succeed in bringing these witnesses, or at least the greater part of them, before the committee. I saw Mr. Wilson this morning, who read me your letter, and it is at his instance that I write you, having, no doubt but that from the information you have and your past faithfulness you will be both able and willing to do in the interest of truth and public justice what is now required of yon. Very respectfully, your obedient sen-ant, J. HOLT, Judge Advocate General. That the bearer of the above did communicate with Conover in regard to the business which took him to New York, and communicate more than it was easy or prudent to say by letter, there can be no doubt, but nevertheless Campbell, as the public are already aware, was pushed before the committee and retracted every word of what he had sworn for the Bureau of Military Justice. The strategy by which Davis friends managed to get Campbell before the committee after his avowed defection and threat to expose the Radi cal plot may be explained in a few words. As soon as the apostacy of the wily perjurer was dis covered, extensive measures, as disclosed by the foregoing letters of " Carter " and the Judge Ad vocate General, were adopted to return him to the fold, when the reprobate pretended to repent his treacherous designs, and promised, in considera tion of another large sum, to repeat before the committee what he had deposed to the Bureau of Military Justice, but no sooner was he ushered into the committee's august presence than he for got his last promise to the conspirators and told the truth, and need it be said actually made Jack Rogers laugh. The following letter from Conover to John Pat ton, at Washington, another of the perjured wit- nesses wnom ne nau promoted to tue ranfc ol in structor of bogus witnesses, will show what he thought of Boutwell and Holt and some of the other leaders in the conspiracy, and what he ex pected from Stanton in case of need : J. CONOVER TO JOHN PATTEN. Ephrata Mountain House, June 8, 1866. My Dear Patten Yours of the 6th was received this P. M. Your assurance that Thomas made a favx pas does not surprise me in the least, and you give him altogether too much credit when you say that he made a damned fool of himself, for nature did that for him over thirty years ago. J5ut in all tins 1 do not see sufficient cause for de spondency. Cheer up, nil desperandum. Make Taber rehearse a dozen times a day until he can play his part like a Kean, and with the two boys i nave Here, wno are improving charmingly, we will more than make up for the loss of Campbell and Snevel. Still it is provoking to remember what an ass Boutwell made of himself. Had he suspended the examination of Campbell when he saw that he was damaging the case, or had Wilson been possessed of wit enough to adjourn the session, with directions to the witnes ses to appear again next day, which Campbell would not nave done, or had Holt, after the com mittee did adjourn, displayed his usual sharpness and firmness, and ordered the damned traitor to be quietly taken out of sight, all would have been well. In truth, all is well enough as it stands. If Campbell don't keep himself shady Secretary totanton wm come down on nim for his bounty jumping, numerous desertions and other military offences, which enable the Secretary to place him where his tongue can do no harm and would soon cease to wag. He has been notified what to ex pect if he is not quiet, and I am sure we shall hear no more from him. JMcGill is coming down in the morning, and will bear my letter. He will be able to give you the news more easily than I can write it. Take the enclosed letter to Mr. Stevens as soon as possible ; it is important that he should have it at once, I think his number is 279 South B street ; but if not you must go to him at the Capitol. I wrote the Judge yesterday, should you be obliged to communicate with him again before I come down do so by note, as there is no doubt but Jeff's friends have spies around the Judge's office, and they might mark you. Keep up good courage and attend to your pu pil, and if we lose the game it will be through the stupidity of our friends or irresolution of our pa trons and not through any fault of our own. If we are driven to "the last ditch" and publicly exposed, we may derive some consolation from the fact that several illustrious heads are as deep in the mud as we are in the mire, and will be obliged to share the obloquy with us. You will see me within a week and need not write again unless something transpires rendering it absolutely necessary that 1 should hear from you. Yours truly, S. CONOVER. NEWS BY MAIL. Serious Troubles Anticipated tn Missouri at the Fall Elections Civil War. Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.J Washington, August 27. The "Missouri question,' formerly so troublesome, was not half so threatening to the peace of the country as the question which has been presented by the political condition of that State. The election in Missouri will take place in November. The canvass has already been very earneutly commenced. Politics rage there as fiercely as the war did. But the ex rebels who formerly figured in the melee are now very quiet and demure, leaving the political conflict to be conducted by the Radicals on one side and the Conservatives on the other. The Radical organs have predicted, if not invoked, so cial war in Missouri, and the Conservatives have, through their Philadelphia delegation, asked for protection from the general government. But we learn from prominent Conservative citizens of Missouri, now here, that they will need no aid from the military, and they are able, except in a few counties, to protect themselves. The ex-rebels do not claim a right to vote. They stand aside. But the test oath of Missouri, embracing eighty six articles, will exclude many loyal citizens from voting. Cholera Reports. New York, August 27. Since the first May 829 fatal cases of cholera have occurred in New York, of which 486 are charged to the public institutions on Ward's, Blackwell's and Randall's Islands, leaving 343 deaths from this cause in the city proper. From the 1st of July to the 18th of August, 343 deaths from cholera took place in Brooklyn. Rumors in Regard to Secretary Stanton and General Howard. Washington, Aug. 26, 1866. A Sunday paper of this city this morning gives currency to a report that Secretary Stanton will leave the Cabinet this week to be succeeded by General Steedman, and that General Howard will be removed from the Chief Commis sionership of the Freedmen's Bureau to be succeeded by General Fullerton. The former statement is probably un founded, beiDg based wholly upon street rumor, reference to M-hich was made in your Washington dispatches of yes terday ; the latter statement probably has some probabili ties about it. There are strong indications that General Howard will soon be relieved ; but when relieved his suc cessor will probably be General Tillson, Assistant Commis sioner for the State of Georgia, an officer who has b en long identified with the Bureau, and one who has in every way proved himself faithful, competent and efficient. Special Dispatch to the Baltimore San. The Votes of Pennsylvania Deserters The Presi dent's Tour General Grant to Accompany the Party, &c. Washington, Aug. 26. J. W. Forney and prominent radical leaders of Pennsyl vania have procured from the War Department a list of deserters from the army during the late war, from that State. It is said to be their 'intention to keep the matter qoiet, and allow each of the deserters as propose to v..ti the radical ticket, to pass unquestioned, but those wh- offer to vote the conservative ticket will be challenged and prevented from exercising the elective franchise. Geii. Grant and his chief of staff, Gen. Rawlings, have decided to accompany the President to Chicago. It id also understood that Secretary McCulloch and Attorney General Stanberry will accompany the party to New York, and return from there to Washington. , The Schutzenrett at Baltimore Baltimore, Sunday, Aug. 26. The German Schutzen Society hold their grand annnal festival to-morrow, at their fine Park, near the eastern boundary of the city. The festivities will be ini tiated with a procession of Schutzen Societies, es corting the King of the Sehutzenfest of last year in his charot.

Nominations for Congress The action o the Mu nicipal Authorities of Philadelphia, tovrard the President and Party. Philadelphia, Aug. 29. J. Lawrence G-itz, Democrat, editor of the Reading Ga zette, has been nominated for Congress in Burks District. In this city the Republicans have nominated for Congress, Wm. G. Kelly, Leonard Mvers, Charles O'Neill nd Jos. It. Syndhall. The Democrats and Conservatives who support the President's policy, express great indignation at tho course of the municipal authorities J n trefusiog the hospitalities of the city to the President and party. By this action, or refusal to act, our officials have placed themselves in an exceptional position, all other cities having tender-ed their hospitalities. The President in New York, New York, Aug. 29. Tho President was met by delegations and crowds of Sersons at Burlington and Trenton, New Jersey, where emonstrations of respect were paid him. He arrived here this afternoon, and while crossing the river thunder ing salutes were fired. At'tho pier he was received by dif ferent municipal committees and citizens, among whom were Alex. T. Stewart, Wm. B. Astor, Commodore Van derbilt, Moses Taylor and others. He was then escorted to City Hall, where Mayor Hoffman welcomed him for mally to the great Metropolis, to which he replied in felicitous terms. Subsequent ly the heads of the city de partments were presented, and shortly afterwards the President was escorted up Broadway by a military and civic procession, and finally to Delmonico's corner, 14th street and 5th Avenue. Thei e the military passed in re view before the President, tho officers saluting and the sol diers and citizens cheering. This evening the President a nd party will participate in a splendid banquet at Delmoni.co's, and will afterwards pro ceed to the Fifth Avenue Ho tel. The march of the pro cession was witnessed by hu ndreds of thousands of spec tators, the number exceeding, if possible, that which lined that great thoroughfare on the occasion of the funeral honors to the late President- The civil and military au thorities co-operated with tho citizens' and merchants' committee with remarkable unanimity, and thus gave to their distinguished gueat tho grandest reception ever ac corded to any public personage during our day, and the genuine enthusiasm manifested seems to mark it also as a spontaneous ovation of U ie people to the champion of their rights and liberties.

Turpentine. Sinco our last review the market fer this article has ruled quite active, and the prico of yellow dip has advanced 20 cents on previous quotation the Bales for the week being at $3 30 for virgin, and $3 25 for yel low dip. The quantity coming in is very light, owing ma;'n ly to the low stage of the water courses, and parcels are readily taken on arrival by distillers at above figures. We quote sales as follows : - Bbls. Virgin. Yellow Dip. maav 4uu fa ao n Saturday 165 3 30 3 Monday 127 3 33 3 Tuesday 48 3 30 3 Wednesday 73 3 30 3 Thursday 83 3 30 3 25 25 25 25 25 25 Spirits Tubpentine. The market during the .past week has ruled steady for this article, and in some instan ces a shade advance has been obtained over highest quo tation of Friday last. The transactions for the week have been light, however, owing to the small receipts and tho limited shipping facilities. At the time of closing our report there is a firmer feeling on the part of sellers, and it is generally held above the views of huyera. We quote sales as follows : Friday 95 bbls. at 46J47 cts $ gallon for white.

We have no change of importance to report in the market for either grade during the week just ended. There was some little enquiry in the earlier part of the week for the finer grades, but the demand appears to be checked, and the market clones quiet at low figures. For the lower grades the demand has also been limited, the scarcity of shipping facilities having tended to prevent transactions. We quota sales for the week as follows : 68 bbls. Pale at $5 75$5 ; 2,550 do. No. 1 at $3, 3 25, $4, $4 50$5 latter figure for extra and $2 25$3 for Opaque, bbl. of 280 rs. Sales also of 1,575 bbls. at $1 65$1 75 for black, $1 80$1 90 for Common, $2 $2 05 for strained Common, and $2 15$2 50 for No. 2, ca in quality. Tab Continues to be in fair enquiry, and the price lit advanced a shade. Only two small parcels received and sold at $2 15 V bbl. Beef Cattle and Sheep. Tho market is only moder ately supplied with beeves, and wo report a fair enquiry from butchers for prime quality. We quote grasB fatted on the hoof at 810 cents lb. for net meat. Sheep are in rather light supply, and in fair demand. One or two small droves received and sold at (2 25$3 each. Babbels The receipts of empty Bpirit barrels for some weeks past have been very light, and the supply on mar ket is barely sufficient for present wants. We note a brisk demand, and quote small sales from wharf as follows : Second hand $4 50$1 75, and new $5$5 50 each, as in quality. Beeswax Is in moderate enquiry, and sells at 3083 oents $ B. Cotton Since our last report tho market for this arti cle has ruled inactive in consequenoe of the unfavorable advices received, which report a declining tendency in both the European and home markets, and we have noth ing to report in the way of sales during the week : there is, howover, very little on market, and it is generally held above the views ot buyers. At the time of dosing our en quiries, 28 oents for middling is the highest offer made, which sellers refuse to accept. Corn Meal Is unchanged in price, and Bells from the mills in lots as wanted at $1 50$1 GO $ bushel. Eggs Are scarce and in demand. Sell at 2530 cents 4 dozen.

In the Cobn market wo have to report rather a 1 dull feeling during Jthe week just ended, and prices are Bomewnat lower than quoted in our last, several parcels have been received, and at present there is a moderate supply in the hands of doalers and only a light demand. We quote the sale from wharf on Tuesday ot 2,000 bushels Western mixed at $1 05 9 bushel ; no other sales reported. We quote from storo at $1 12$1 15 for mixed and yellow, and $1 30 for white, as in quantity. Oats. Are in light stock, but we notice merely a retail demand at pres ent.

We qnote live chick ens at 3040 cents, and grown fowls at 4050 cts. each. Provisions. In N. C. cured Bacon we have to report rather a dull market since our last, and prices if anything are a shade lower. With moderate receipts for the week the stock in first hands has accumulated, and is now fully fair for the season, whilst the demand is unusually light. We quote sales in the small way at 2222J cents for hog round, and 2324 cents y lb. for hams these figures, however, could hardly be obtained for large parcels. For Western cured there is little or no enquiry, and supply moderate. See table for store quotations. Labd Is in some enquiry, and the stock of North Carolina has be come pretty near worked off. We quote at 2324 cents y t. for both N. C. and Western. .Pobk. For North ern there is merely a retail demand, and stock adequate for present wants. See table for store quotations.

We quote Common at $2 25$3, and Contract at ll$5 y M., as in quality. Timber Continues to be in brisk demand for mill pur- owing, however, to the low stage of the water courses, there is very little now coming to market.

Wood Is brought to market slowly, and sells by the boat load at 12 25$3 for pine and ash, and $3 25f 3 50 y cord for oak. Freights There is a moderate quatutv of country pro duce offering for shipment to coastwise ports, and vessels are scarce and wanted. We refer to our table for last rates paid, and would remark that owing to the scarcity the same prices have been obtained by sailing vessels that steamers are now getting.
