M. , THE LATEST NEWS BY MAIL. Hon. Alexander II. Stephens. Washington, Oct. 20. Alexander H. Stephens, ex-confederate vice president, who was recently released from fort Warren, and his brother, Linton Stephens, ar rived in Washington Thursday evening at six o'clock, from New York, and took rooms at Wil- lara s. The arrival of the ex-vice president had the effect of drawing a large crowd to the hotel, who were anxious to get a view of him. As soon as his arrival was known those in waiting moved towards the door of the hotel, and as . Mi. Ste phens entered he was immediately recogniztd by many who had frequently seen him on the streets of Washington, and in congress. He has altered but little in his personal appearance, his frame being upright and emaciatedlas heretofore. Mr. Stephens appears to weigh but little over one hundred pounds, and as he ascended the steps of the hotel he moved along slowly, as if weak and worn out by the anxieties of the past few years. His hair is a little thmner and grayer than when he was here before. He was dressed in a well- fitting suit of black clothes. During last night Mr. Stephens was waited upon by several of hi old Washington friends, whom he received in his room at the hotel. Gen erals Hooker and Terry also called to see him. A little after nine o clock this morning Mr. Stephens proceeded to the white house for the purpose of obtaing an interview with President J ohnson, who, however, at that hour was m con sultation with Secretary Stanton, at the conclu sion of which Mr. Stephens was granted an in terview lasting half an hour. The Florida Convention. New York, Oct. 21. The steamer America, from Savannah, on the 18th, and the steamer Georgia, from Galveston on the 12th; have arrived. The Savannah Herald has returns Of the J; lon- da convention, and they show the election of the candidates in aTpr 01 tne , "government s. .recon struction plan. The Herald's cotton market report says low water in the Savannah river has checked trans portation from the interior. On the 17th, how ever, there was a rise in the river, and 1,000 bales of cotton came down. 'Stock oh sale has been reduced to one or two hundred bales. There was no change m quotations.

She had sprung aleak and her captain had to run her ashore to save her. Passengers and cargo saved. The American consul here has arranged, through Messrs. Cunard, to have the Delta, now on a pas sage from St. John's to Sydney, to proceed im mediately to render assistance. At the request of the consul, Admiral Hope also dispatched H. M. S.

Wendell Attack upon the President and General Banks. Boston, Oct. 18. WendelL Phillips delivered a lecture before the Boston fraternity .last night. The lecture attract ted a large and enthusiastic audience. Its titl was " The south victorious.1 1 - Mr. PhiUips declared that President Johnson, in his speech to' the delegation that waited upon him from South Carolina, and who appealed to hinx for protection against corfgress and the harsh spirit of the northern states, had ranged himself with the half converted rebels,, and made himself three quarters of a rebel in order that the rebels themselves might be one quarter union. Major General Banks Mr. Phillips denounced as a vagrant mountebank, laden with the curses' of every loyal man m Louisiana and Massachu setts, and yetMassachusetts men were going to send him to congress, . ; , j j , Mr. Phillips, in speaking of the 'endorsement of President Johnson by various republican state conventions, said: . , v u4The republican party does not exist. There is & spectre walking -over the country in its shroud, but there is no such party. It has not existed since the Baltimore convention, when it was buried in the will of Abraham Lincoln. I deny the existence of any political force en titled to be called the republican party." The lecture of Mr. Phillips occupied one hour and a half in delivery, and he is advertised to re peat it at the Cooper Institute, in the city of New York, next week. Richmond Municipal Affairs. Richmond, October 21. General Turner, commanding the district of Henrico, issued a general order this afternoon permitting ah organization of the city govern ment of Richmond, the objectionable officers, Sturdivant, Johnson and Bigger having filed, res pectively, their declension of the offices to which they were elected. General Turner in his letter to the president of the council communicating the order, calls atten tion to the large number of destitute white per sons in the city now supplied with rations by -the United States commissary at a cost of at leagt $200 per day, and recommends that speedy ac tion be taken by tbe council for assuming care of the poor of the city. The council held a called meeting to-night and declared the office of mayor vacant, and com pleted the organization of that body. Meeting of the 44 Fenian Congress." ' Philadelphia, Oct. 16. An informal meeting of the Fenian congress was held to-day at the assembly building. About six huhdred delegates were present. The chair man delivered an address, but the congress will not be organized for business until to-morrow. This evening an enthusiastic mass meeting was held in the large hall of the assembly building, which was largely attended by ladies and gen tlemen. Excellent speeches in favor of 4lie cause were delivered by Captain Welch, of this city, Mr. Morrison, of Chicago, and others. Much enthusiasm was manifested. Two persons at tempted to disturb the meeting by remarks ob noxious to the assemblage, but were quickly hustled out of the hall. The 5' Congress" will be in session during the week, and its proceed ings will, it is supposed, be of a highly impor tant character. The deliberations will be secret. Telegraph Charges. Is it not about time that something was done to popularize the telegraph 1 The prices charged for the use of it are perfectly outrageous. On the continent of Europe one can send a message across the whole breadth of France for a single frane, (twenty cents,) while the shortest despatch from Albany to New York costs fifty cents. There is no excuse for this. It is the most profitable business in the country. All the lines are making enormous dividends, upon a capital three, five and ten times the cost of the lines. There is no rea son why the public should pay such outrageous prices for the service. The cost j of working a telegraph is very small, compared with a railroad or anything else, yet the charges, in proportion, are much higher. This matter is- beginning to command a good deal of public attention, and will command more unless a remedy be speedily applied. New York Times. The Kentucky Presbyterian Synod. Louisville, Oct. 20. The Presbyterian Syrod of Kentucky met yes terday ttnd adopted a paper touching the action of the late general assembly, saying certain ac tions of the last assembly ought to be consider ed as unwiso and unconstitutional and unscrip tural, and hopes the assembly will review and correct them; yet none of the acts of the assm bly of 1861 anc? 1863 inclusive justify a with drawal from that body, and the synod will ad here with unbrokeu purpose to the Presbyterian church of the United States, and will oppose every effort to product schism. . The Fenian Congress. Philadelphia, Oct. 20. Tn thA Fenian conerress yesterday the Head Centre addressed the members, advising unanim ity of action, prudence of caution in their delib- Aratinns. and counselled an entire revision of the constitution of the organization, and read a state. ment in relation to the cause of delay in issuing th bonds of the "Irish Republic." He also suggested certain changes in the! financial man agement of the organization. A committee of two rom each state or district was appointed on the government, constitution and by-laws.

Captain Hurt reports that there was only about thirty inches of water in the river at Fayetteville yesterday morning, but thinks that sufficient rain has fallen to raise it still more. No further difficulty in navigation is anticipated this season. COMMERCIAL. The Home Market. Wilmington, Oct. 242 P. M. Owing to the inclemency of the weather there hag been but little done in the market to-dav. We heard of a sale of Rosin and Spirits Turpentine, but could not as certain the price at the time ef going to press. "We heard of no sales of Cotton. ' FROM THIS MORNING'S EDI TION The Mysterious Disappearance. The public have' already been made aware of the mysterious disappearance of Mr. G. W. Wil kinson, a young man but recently located in this city, from his store, several days ago, and whose wnereaDouts nas caused nis menus and acquain tances so much anxiety. Mr. Wilkinson carried off in his possession the key to the iron safe be longing to his uncle, Mr. J. Wilkinson, the broker. Not hearing of him since he was seen across the Weldon railroad, on tbe day of his leaving the store, it was thought that sufficient time had in tervened, and as no business could be transacted by his uncle without access to the safe, to have the safe broken open, and on yesterday afternoon it was accordingly done, when, to the astonish ment of every one, it was found to have been robbed of about fifteen thousand dollars, a large pertion of which was in specie one package alone containing six thousand dollars. The mys tery of the disappearance of the young man was at once solved. He had taken the money, locked the safe and decamped with the key in his pocket. Mr. Wilkinson came here some time ago, and was engaged with Cutter & French, as salesman, and, by his gentlemanly actions and manner, had made many personal friends. He was connected, by marriage, with a family of high reputation, in New York City, and his own immediate connect tions hold none the less high position in society. His uncle here is looked upon as, one of the best and most reliable of our citizens, none holding a higher position for honor and everything that is connected with a gentleman, ine action 01 tnis yqung man has :o0mpletely dumbfounded, every one, as the belief had obtained full confidence that he had walked away while sunering irom an aberation of mind, as he had left a large amount of money in the show window, m mid-day with no one about the store. : The greater portion of the money taken be longed to his uncle, and a small amount was on deposit. The facts are almost neartrDrpaKing to his friends, and were there not so many unrelia ble rumors afloat in regard to. the affair, it would be. considered a duty due the family connection to withhold any mention of it to the public. The above may be reied on as the true facts of the case. Theatre- The play of the " Serious Family" at the theatre last evening was by far the best nerformknee" Mvet! since the debut of the new 1 company. Every part was not only well, but re markably well sustained, proving what was said on the opening evening, that a few days would how a great improvement. The company really deserve congratulation. Withont fear of contra diction it may be said that this play was never performed to a better pleased audience. The danseuse is also; improving, the dance of last evening being the best she has yet been in. She does herself an injustice by casting her eyes to the floor while dancing, instead 01 tne auaience. Correct this, and her talent will make her a fa vorite. ... Ladies can feel safe in going to this place now, as the manager refuses to admit any boys or im harnrtprs into the buildina. We were glad to see a select audience outlast evening. . Enshrouded Prejudices Removed. "J. N." the philosopher, orator and jurist, as he is termed, is now in the city and proposes ,to address the citizens of this place, at the market house, on Thursday evening next, at four o'clock, upon a 'theory W hig own, that "each beligerent party was right, when viewed from its respective stana- in ' luat me Yeu 01 prejudice enshrouded caused each to consider the other wrong." This theory or truth must nravnil before there is a more perfect reconciliation! "J. N." feels himself able to assume all responsibility of "pressure " of prejudice, and thicks, by a can did hearing' he can convince every one of such facte. He is to speak in Charleston in a few days. The Relief Association. The coming winter suggests ; some important facts in relation td the condition of the poor and neetiy people of this city. It seems that we are all so engrossed with business and other matters that the important one of taking' care of the needy is entirely overlooked. This duty has heretofore fell -upon the relief committee, and. to show how Uy P?7 MJe et eir obligations, we give below a. sf tmrf fif a -e-i a t months, from one connected with it. -v.w v UU W VlV Cli since December 24th, 1863, the Wilmington Re lief Association have supplied weekly from two hundred and forty to four hundred and fifty fami lies with provisions. For th tvn oaf ww, the poor have been supplied about four hundred loads of wood. Last Spring the United States gov ernment, through the post commandant, supplied '" wgutuuvju wiLii rations inr the ni-iTnhn. of families, until the.l5th of Sentemhor lnf when they were stopped by order Of the general m command. Since that time there bT the Sorf oS? or-(those actually stuTerimr' ahd needv. conaiRtinVoV about eerenty-flve femiliea and of two hundred and i ny persons. The relief store has a small supply piuviBiuns on nana, Darely sufficient to supply the suffering for ten days mere. After that time what must be done ? I leavAt.hfetnt.hA tX ateable to help .the poor. Wil- u fia" L.5?? this winter, but if something is not done there will be suffering both from want of fuel and provisions, Any one interested in this matter will find a full statement in the hands of Mr. John C. Wood, at the relief rooms under the seaman's home. Foe the Yofng Folks. Mr. J. H.

It is thought verv likelv that the military commission in the Sykes mur der case will close its labors of examination of witnesses to-day. The argument of counsel will then be heard, when it will be submitted to the' court for its findings. ... The Mayor's Court. There was not a sinale case before the Mayor yesterday. Mayor Daw son was present in the court room, but did not take the chair, and will not for a few days vet, as he seems to be suffering from a rehumatic at tack. Arrived. The four companies of the 28th Michigan regiment expected here to relieve the negro troops arrived here by special train from Goldsboro yesterday afternoon. They are young in appearance, Dut wear a veteran look. Dull. Yesterday was dull, really gloomy. The weather wore such an aspect as to create this feeling. All day long it was dark, with not a ray of old Sol to encourage any business under taking. Expected To-day. The steamer Euterpe is due from New York to-day. CORRESPONDENCE. Raleigh, N.

I have been content to do my duty to the best of my ability, under the instructions of the president, and to leave my conduct to be judged by an intelligent and indulgent people. I do not fear that judgment. My duties have been, in many respects, new, unusual and onerous. I had no lights to guide me in the work of reorganizing and : reconstruct ing an American state, save the instructions re ceived from time to time from the president : and necessarily, those instructions have been only of a general character. My paramount concern has been, so to do that part of the work assigned to me as to secure the restoration of the state to the union at the earliest practicable period. To what extent I have succeeded in this respect it is for the people to say. I can only declare, as I most solemnly do, that I have labored with an eye single to the good and the glory of North Caro- lina ; and that, whatever may De tne aecision 01 the people on the 9th of November, i snail al ways possess the consciousness that I am a faith ful and devoted son of our dear 01a state, ana that I have labored with zeal, and with what suc cess mv poor faculties could command, to im thA rendition of her people, and to restore her to her appropriate and natural position in the iirnvn. apr.tlpmen. it is not asreeable to my feelings in a crisis like the present, when everything dear to us depends upon union and harmony among ourselves, to speak of parties, I deprecate fac tion and bitter party spirit as tbe bane of the re public. The evils we are now suffering, with all ha naiamitifls that have befallen us, may be traced to this source. As provisional governor 01 ui to in all T have said and done, I have known """ : . . . ii r,rt ruirtv hut the sincere friends of the union. nitw a democrat nor a whiff.
