reporter the results ef his mission to the Iegis.
lssure of eorgia His efforts were frst irectsd to
Belgium, In the hope Of forming contract with
the "Bslgian American Company" In this he
failed. 'fhe Belglans are more . manufacturing
than q commercial people, and the above company
seemed averse TO enter into any engagsmsnts q
regards the management OF steamships Af. King
then directed his attention to France in addressing
mer aorial to the French Minister of Commerce.
He succeeded In inducing the French Government
to Oh Ange the law granting q subsidy for North
ern line to New York. and substituting Savannah
for New York, and extending Southern line from
Bordeaux TO the West Indies 10 the same port.
This was accomplished after great labor by Mr..
King. MI. Kings next step was to form contract
with Mr. Frederick Sabel. Of Liverpool, for line
of stssme ~ from that por. to Savannah. on the

ARREST OF REV. j. R. 0RAvla-The arrest Of
Rev J. 4 Graves, Of North Carolina, and his i'm
prisonment in Castle Thunder, has been noticed
The Raleigh IN. Co. Standard says that Gov. Vance,
hearing by telegraph, late ON Monday night, Of this
arrest, and being obliged to leave for Wilmington
on Tuesday morning. Addressed q letter to the
Mayor of Raleigh, requesting him to attend st the
depot on Tuesday morning, and arrest and detain
the officer and his prisoner until his return. The
Mayor attended, and went some ten miles with tho
train on the CASTOR Road, thinking that tho par
ties of whom he was In search might be ON board
the cars. But they had either gene the night be-
fore or taken the Dsnville route.
The Raleigh Register says:
This Mr.. Graves was tho author Of a letter which
appeared sometime since IN the Richmond Enqni-
yer, and In which he gave an account Of visit to
the North, and glowing description Of the sreat
prosperity OF that country. and it, ndomitable de-
Termination to subjugate the South. We thought
at the time that It was Q most extraordinary pro.
duction and 20 stated to several gentlemen Mr..
Or raves is, We learn, Canadian by birth and edu.
cation and has been but abort time . resident Of
this State It u not true, We learn, that he was
Imprisoned at the North. On the contrary he was
permitted to 60 to the North by Gen. DIX, where
he remained month. Since hlg return homo he has,
a. we are informed, been boasting Of the kind
treatment he received from the Northern people,
and using language we'll calculated 10 bring down
upon him strong suspicion that he is anything
bat man who should be permitted to 60 at large
IN the South.

cupied prominent position in the army Of that

nation Of Office under Banks he had behaved very
kindly to the residents of Warrenton In preventing
