LETTER FiiOH "OCCASIONAL' Washington Correspondence of The Phir-dephU 1 Press. I j The canvass for governor of North Can .lina has opened in. earnest, and is punctuated with some most' "expressive scenes. The election- takes place on the 9th of November. Hon. W. W. Holden will be elected, almost without compe tition, though certainly not without opt osition. In Ms letter, consenting to be a . candidiate, he says: lTit.lfmfTi it 5a Tint n trrPfiKI tn m "fpi limrs 5ti I a crisis like the present, when evervthingt dear to ine depends upon union and harmony .among ourselves, to speak or parties.

You will observe that in Sorth Carolina The na- tional government, or rather the military force, is very light in comparison with the prepouder- t ating power of the masses ; and it is by relying ' upon the latter, almost alone, that Holden wi! be sustained. Tbe unanimous endorsement of 1're sident Johnson and Governor Holden by the con stitutional convention, on the 18th of OctoU-r, the very day the former telegraphed advising the repudiation of the rebel war debt, .shows how s how strong the cause of truth iias grown, and now thig touree. wonderful a change that time has wrought in a , Local Lditor of the Dispatch should receive hi Mate so wedded to slavery and so long wielded confession, and he frequently said to us during by slave politicians., The opponents of Holden ti, progress of his trial, if it went adverse to are not, however, in the best mood.

JS.J The message of his excellencv, Governor Per ry, appearing in our paperTthis morning, will be read with interest. It is a document clear, fo'ci ble and direct, and exhibits fairly the views and uacity of its distinguished-author. Mu re s some lart philosophy in which , entirely concur. It is assumed that we have not een as prosperous and progressive as we might hav J ueeu ' ant the fact is attribu table to thevaut CI enterprise, activity, and a just appreciaLon of agn.-ulture, commeice, arts immigration. ii t list COOC U ".- uo not UJll- w Ar, T,,t nfimit th:it our rtate was less Li. I T T J VJL V JIVl. J ' " -t.-.m mrniK. til-,?, nnv m tliir stafp with rhe same ! population. Nor, with other feeling -ha:: we i possessed, that our population would have been ; larger; nor, in fact, that there was any disrespect for the arts and agencies towards material im provement. We have been convinced that our condition in respect of material improvements was the result of our having Javes for laborers, and a market at the West for our -laves, which took them off in spite of us; and that with these conditions there was no amount of feeling that could have made our fortunes other or brighter than they were. This, however, is unimportant now. Both con ditions are now oast ; and as we concur in the course under present circumstances commended, j except for our regard for historical truth, it were -ii . i i.:- -..i',,,, : unnecessary to call the premises of his exceheu- i cy in question. Of his irresponsibility for his ap- . nointment. and the nerfect unselfishness of his ; r ' . , .. arlministration. we have no question, and admit the difficulties through which he had to steer the state. We believe he has exhibited a judgment and discretion, and has achieved results as bene ficial as could have come within the hopes of our people; and we are assured, also, that it is now our policv to divide out our lands with new- comers, and extend over as many as we can iu-1 duce to share it with us. the onus of bearing on- vards the further fortunes of our state. We are pleased to receive his expression 01 con tidence iu the inability of the republicans in con- ress to exclude the southern delegates Irom congiv?-S, or disqualify them' by the oath at pres ent required. In this opinion we coucur. If the crovernmeL't shall be assured of our good faith in seeking the restoration of relatiop.s with the re public, we Ci.'n scarcely ques.ion its ability to open the doors of that assembly. In reference to the questions of policy he proposes, there will be some feeling a.d some diversity of opinion. In general, however, there will be concurrence 1 in the propriety of the payment of the direct tax j to the general government by the state. The ! evil cannot thus be permanently avoided, and tbe tax must be paid in the end ; but it wilL postpone an outlay, for which we are all particularly un- i i preparedj-and will be disturbed but the one time in paying taxes to our state officers. In reference to the continuance of the stay law, also, there will doubtless be concurrence. It is true that the law has done more harm than good. If .the collection of debts had not leen arrested, they would have leen collected in cou federate monev, aua we would have ban. among j ourselves at least, no debts to pay ; and it is true. j perhaps, that in every instance of such interfer - ence by the state, the results prove dKvtrou. But the countrv is nov in a state of ut h ex- treme destitution money especvraly.. that it was scarcely possible that abstract principles can have anv efieet upon it. So .also, we trust, will the heart of the state respond to the sentiment against repudiation. Men sutler, and it is natural ! they should shrink from their sufferings; but J there is nothing, we -conceive, so -absolutely un- j bearable as the reflection that our state has lo.t her integrity and her right to the resject of honorable people.. And, such, we fear, must be our reflet ion, if this measure should be carried into effect. ' The project of an university, in place of the ! so?Ui , 1 v,uurgr, ' . hand we eheve approved, ; by gentlemen of ju - tg in exit vj the state. We have always thought such an bstitutiott would fill a more extended sphere of ussfalness, and at all times have favored the change; 1S the reasons, we coriceive5 are greater now, and we truly hope the legislature may act upon the subject. It is eqecially im- portant now that our young men should have the opportunity of devoting the little time they may have to education, directly to the studies bearing upon the pursuit to which their energies shall be directed; and few, therefore, whateverjbe its ad vantages, would be able to avail themselves of the curriculum of a college.

CHAMP FERGKSltt THE G CEK- KILL A. HIS FULL CONFESSION. xlX 6 Catalogue of His Murders A; Horrible Record. From the Louisville Dispatch Oct. 21. J " It will be remembered by our readers. Umt du ring the trial of Furgusou, we were granted - the priveiege of boUling interviews with him, and publihetl a fengthy statement on one occasion. We with held manr devtlommnts aL that time which we knew would te prejudicial to his trial. It was Chanm Fur"uAon, mmcm desim that the the stove in the hall or. chamber whieliMirrounds the cells. He was permitted to go out of the lungoon with a ball and chain. Champ met us in a very pleasant manner and after conversing a few moments on Important "matters, we retired with him to his ceil. He appeared verv anxious about his family, and had some fears of their not eettim?' here in tim to him,. He was ovtrt. r .- - 111 111 llWllll. We opened the subject of his coufesion to him, and he told us, that it might not be discreet inhim-to make a confe.6iou.umil the last day. However, he proposed to give it to us with the un lei standing that it should not 1h pnl iislied or mentioned in the paper until after his execution. He commenced with TIIK KILLING OF REL'BKX WOOD. The testimony- in this case was with very few exceptions, false.' Reuben Wood and I were al ways good friends before the war, but after that he was connected with the same company in which my brother Jim was operating. I knew that he intended killing--me if he ever got a cha "ce. They both hunted me down, ami drove me fairly to desjeration. On the day that he was killed, we met him in the road, ami he com menced on me, using the most abusive language. 1 knew his disposition toward me, and believed he intended to shoot me. The touching story about his piteous appeals to me that he had nursed me when a babe, and tossed me on his knee are false, ami were gotten up uxpressly to create sympathy, and set me forth as a heart less wretch. If I had not shot Reuben Wood, I would not likely have been here, for he would have shot me. I never expressed a regret for committing the act, and never will. He was in open war against me. THE' KILLING OF FROOG. The case of Frogg- is another in which I am falsely placed. The circumstances are well known to manv in that neighbeihood. He was with inn: fl..-i li.kiivli ; 'he home guards, and instigated my arrest while I was pt..;,iably pursuing my avocation as a lar : nier. Not satistied "A.th this, he laid in wait on ihe highways to kill me. He even went so far as to make his threats to the neighbors that he : intended to kill me. On the day that I passed ' down the road leading to Frogg's house, Mrs. i Pleasant Beatty called me, and warned me that Frogg was watching for an opportunity to kill j nie. 1 had been cautioned by a number of per- sons. There were two men with me at the time I-Mrs. Beatty spoke to us, and I told the boys i that I would settle the matter by going direct I to F rover's house and killing him.
