A merchant living at Tarboro', was heard to say yesterday upon the street that two-thirds of the business from his section intended for this place was turned .off at Goldsboro' and sent to Newbern, under the misapprehension that an epidemic -Was raging here. It has been circulated Jio doubt by de Bigning persons, who have interest elsewhere,, that the trade accumulating here, might be broken and they be benefited thereby. This gentleman from arboro' gave as an instance of this fact that the - ielegiriph operator at Goldsboro stopped twp merchant from his place, on their way to this city expecting to purchase a supply of goods, by tel Uhig them that yellow fever dljk exist here and even gave the number of .eases said to' be reported for one day. "Where this operator gets his informal .tion, by which he is justified in making such, a -statement is not kpown, and he should W careful In making a statement of so important a'character .mless he has the best authority for its truth. The 'Newbern Times very generously corrects a report published by that paper of an epidemic being here, J Qd it should be the duty of every one knowing the tilsity of the report to. rxiake a similar correc , tion.

'V THE LATE REBEL IEADE11S. fjiiimpses into Jeff.

We have received copies of several of these captured letters, the authenticity of which cannot be doubted, and find in them much readable matter. The letters are all eonfiden tial, and much,tf their contents is matter of a private and domestic character,, which is en- urij wm ui piace in print, ana the publica tion of which, whether the rebel chief or anv one else be tne owner of the correspondence, would be in exceedingly bad taste. There are other hhwever, the publication of which violates no private rights, and which the oublic will be interested in reading. v The first of the letters .in our hands, is da ted at Jackson, Miss., on the 14th of Febru ary, 1861, and addressed by Mr. Davis to his wife, just - three days befoie he had been elected Prfsideht of the infant confederacy by the convention at Montgomery, Ala., and, as might be imagined, he was full of business and he wrote briefly. He says his reception at Vicksburg and Jackson was most enthusi astic, and that he is constantly "in a crowd of people and eveBts." v He had beon summoned by telegraph to Montgomery, and was to leave on the day of writing. Io the course of the letter; occurs the following : Whn the military came out on the route, Inclu. ding a company of boys, how I wished the chil dren could have seen it to be remembered In after years. . ; ; The children have seen "military " enough amember, since that . letter was , written to remember, however, . companies' of boys, and of old men as Well, shedding their blood like water for the infamous cause of which the writer of these lines was the chosen leader. Even then. jusVdne month before by his .order -the guns of Charleston were opened on the national flag, he saw so little of what was in the future that he looked upon the gathering soldiers only with curiosity, and a wish that his chil dren could see the parade to remember and speak of in the peaceful times to come. , .We have a letter to Davis from Major Gen eral Earl Tan Dorn, a leader who. attained some prominence in the , early part of the war, but has now been almost forgotten. Much of the letter, which is dated in June, 1862, relates to a proclamation of Governor Rec6rt of Ar kansas;' denouncing the rebel: government for sacrificing the State west of the Mississippi in concentrating all the troops at Corinth. . Van Dora says that be people repudiate the Gov ernor s "pernicious opinions,' and that be stands almost ' alone in the State. General Dorn protests a gains C the : appointment of Magruder to a Western command, and closes his Tetter with the following eulogiatie refer ence to General Sterling Price ; . .w-,:. ;. The love of the people of Missouri for General Price is so strong and his prestige, as a comman der there so great, that wisdom would seem to dictate that he be put at the head of affairs In the West. I see the alluring bait to my ambition, the fall of St. Louis, the reclamation of a rioh segment of our beloved South front the grip of the enemy, and the glory that might be mine : but I shut all this out from me because I think it is the best in terest of the country to do so. I' drop whatever glory there may be on the brow of General Price, than whom there Is no one more worthy to wear it, and. by whom I would rather see it worn. :- ; Mrs. Jefferson Davis, in a letter to her hus band, dated March, 1863, at Montgomery, gives an odd glimpse atj an incident com mo -nlace , enough in a slaveholding community. and reproves herself very nai vely for a bit of The poor, cirl I thought of buying appealed to me as the wife of the President, to taxe her out of the taverni and looking- so weary, said, ?i am so tired of being bought by first one negro trader and thpn another.
