A special to the Herald, from Wash
ington 8th, says: Au opinion has been
confidently expressed to-day by parties
competent to judge, that the Govern
ment will not undertake the trial of
Wirtz, but will cause that person to give
States' evidence in the approaching trial
of Jeff. Davis, whereby it will bo proved
that the rebel President was the direct
and prime instigator of the cruelties prac
ticed upon Union prisoners, and the num
berless other atrocities which were from
time to time committed in defiance of the
usages of war. It is known that Wirtz
has expressed his desire to make impor
tant revelations as to the extent that Da
vis was implicated in the outrages of the
Southern prisons.
Telegrams were received from Major
Gen. Pope to-day, at the Indian Bureau,
containing a communication from Gen.
Sully, conducting the military expedi

is no doubt that a permanent treaty can
now be secured by the Government with
th? Sioux and. Cheyenne tribes on the
upper Missouri river.
In addition to the above, Geu. Sully
remarks that in that quarter inhabitants
are apprehensive that the coming winter
will be one of great severity, and it is
feared that troops will suffer even more
than they did last season. All efforts
made to produce garden vegetables for
the use of the camp were futile, by rea
son of the ravages of insects.
A special to the Tribune, from Wash
ington 18th, says: The President lias or
dered the remission of sentence in the

that they will immediately be released
from custody and furnished with trans

New York. August, 19? An abstract
of the report of the officers of the tele

showing the following facts:
The breaking occurred about 12.30
o'clock P M , of the '2d inst., where tlie
water was *2,900 fatlmius d?-rp, and when
over 1,200 miles of cable bad been paid
out, iu consequence of its becoiuing in
jured by cbahng in the stem of the ship,
while rehauling a portion of it on board
the Great Eastern, to remove another
defect in insulation which had been dis
covered.- After losing it it wai grappled
three times, being on one of the occa
sions bronghtjto within 1,200 yards of the
water's surface, but the weight was too
much for the grappling rope, which each
time broke auu (tapped the cable The
last attempt to raise it was made on the
7th iust . wheu not meeting with success
a buoy was placed over the spot where
it was last, and the Great Eastern sailed
for England, and her consorts, the Terri

New York, Aug. 19. p. m.?The weak - 1
uess of cottou goods in first hands has
shown itself this week in a positive de
cline of some kinds of goods. Among the
jobbers, however, there has been ceusid
srable activity, and it is likely now that
ageuts have met their views as to price,
and that there will be an improvement
in business at first hands.
The excitement in Wall street has but
very remotely affected the dry goods
market. The trade is now so little de
pendent upon credit that any interrup
tion of discount ingoperations is of slight
consequence to dry goads merchants.
The New England cotton mills are ex
tending their operatioi s as fast as the
supply of bonds permits. Some of the
larger corporations have their ayynts in
Lancashire, England, for procuring oper
atives, the supply in this country being
inadequate.

(From the Richmond Timei |
Suuie correspondent:! of the Jacobin
pressbave been makiujj terrible discover
ies in tbe interior of North Carolina ?
They have found at nearly all the court
houses stocks and pillories, not rotten
and neglected, but like that famous pair
of stocks erected by Squire Hazledeau,
in which the lank legs of Dr. Riccobocca
were temporarily encased ; "neatly paint
ed and well protected from the weath
er." Having exhausted their vocabula
ry of abuse upon 'these instruments of
torture, which were used by the inhuman
slave holders," the illustrated papers
sent down artists, who have prepared
very correct drawings of these same pil
lories and stocks.
The only drawback to tbe anticipated
capital which was to have been made
out of these discoveries, is tbe unimpor
tant fact that these pillories and stocks
have for many years been kept by the North
o..i .Unimm^Sor tk* use of white violators of
the criminal latcs of that State.
We thought.that everybody in New Eng
land knew that the Old North State has
always been known aud dreaded by the
whole fraternity of thieves as the "whip
ging and hanging State." They have no
tate prison there, but when they con
vict men of murder they hang them, and
when they convict offenders of the crimes
usually punished in this State by impris
onment in the penitentiary, they put
them in the pillories aud stocks which
have so greatly horrified the Radicals,
and flog them most unmercifully.
If any correspondent of the Radical
papers doubts the truth of what we say,
let hi in proceed at once to North Caroli
na. aud then steal a watch or commit a
burglary, and if he does not very soou
find out the exact use aud desigu of the
"instruments of torture," we will take
his place in the pair of "stocks widi
whipping-post accompanimeut," of which
Frank Leslie's Magazine gives an admira
ble engraving.
A short time before the evacuatiou of
Richmond a noted rascal left this city
and proeeeded to North Carolina, where
he broke into a jewelry store aud carried
otf much valuable plunder. He was ar
rested, tried, convicted and seuteuced,
we think, to receive a sound tloggiug at
the whipping-post. As more than tbe
Mosaic dispensation of "thirty-niue"
was awarded him, the fellow was allow
ed to receive his punishment iu brokeu
doses. He received an instalment, we
think, of tweaty-five lashes every month.
We speak advisedly about this case, as
the offender was needed bereasa witness
in one of the coarts before he had "set
tled bis little account" in North Caro
lina, and when an officer was seut tor
him, ho was politely aasnred that he wm
entirely at the service of Virginia a*
soon as the prior claims of NortB Caro
Una upon his entiele had been satisfied
We trust that this simple explanation
will allay the unhanntness of the uegro
philists Stocks, pillories aud whipping
posts in North Carolina are infinitely
more dreaded by tbe white than they are
by the black criminals in that State

I From (be Mobile Dally Tribune August 8. J
The Judge, before be made bis recent
toar through the Soath , believed that
every white man within 'these states was
too lazy to work, and instead of going
ont in the morning to get the meat that
was desired for dinner, wonld seize a
yonng negro and pitch him into tbt din
ner pot, to be served np for the poet or an
dial meal By diligent inquiry he round
ont that this was not true; and so he
agreed to make a compromise bet ween
his prepossessions and the facta he discov
erea in his joarney The fact is anaouu
ced in the telegrabfcic report which we
reprint above. We do not eat little ne
gross as he believed, bnt we are so lazy
that he seems to be feartnl that as we do
net eat them, we are bound from oar de
moralized condition to be peesently eat
en by them Well, this is what he ha*
been teaching for many yean? the
right of the negro to eat the white man.
But why should a sensible man deal
with snch folly ? The expression of it
shows with how little wisdom the world
is governed, and shows, moreover, how
little wisdom then is in the fanatical
hoeta of which Judge Chase is the most
conspicious member and yet this man
waa feted and carreesed in hie trawsls
through the 9outh by Southern men audi

Ix Demand. ? Confederate two reut
postage stamps are in great demand iu
this city. A wealthy gentleman has au
thorized Mr. (ieorge D. Wool ton. attor
ney at law, on Main street, near the cor

what their face call* for, to be paid dol

Badly Hurt. ? James Rauey, a boy
about fifteen years old ? who wnseugaged
in driving the mule car in the coal pit
belonging to Mr. Watson, in town? was
playing with an open can ?f blasting
powder, near the drift bead, when from
a spark from bis head lamp the powder
was tired, and in an instant dashed him

sives ? ? Fairmont National.
Hops.? It is said that the crop ol hops
this year will very genera ly prove a fail

be?u such as to entirely spoil the vines
iu many places, and growers have plowed
up their hop plantations. Fbe crop in
England is happily i good one this wa
gon, so far.
