FROM NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, Oct. l.
The Governor OF North Carolina, Colonel
Vance, delivered his inaugural at Raleigh
on the 8th ult It is moderated in tone gen
orally, though when speaking of the treat
ment received by North Carolina at the
hands of the rebel Government it is quite
bitter and sarcastic.
The following is from the special cores
pondeht of the Times:
SHARPsBURG, Sept. 80.
Yesterday Farnesworth's brigade ofcav-
airy, accompanied by Gibson's and It'd
balls United States batteries, crossed the
! PotomGc into Virginia below Shepardstown
| The force recOnnOitered the country for a
| distance of five or six miles from the river
and discovered that the enemy still holds
his position in the vicinity of Winchester.
Major Medill, of the 9Th Illinois cavalry,
with squadrons took the road leading
from Shepardstown to Martinsburg and
met a regiment of the enemy's cavalry
enemy had two pieces of artillery and
fired few Shells but without effect.
The rebel videttes which were at Shep-
ardstown and along the roads in the morn
ing, retired as our cavalry advanced.
Farnsworth of the 6th Illinois took the
road to Winchester. In houses along the
way he took prisoners OVcr2O Of the rebel
wounded, including Colonel Magill, of
Georgia, all of whom were paroled.
At Shepardstown General PleasantOns
provost marshal paroled nearly 400 rebel
wounded Our artillery was not brought
into action.
Griffin with the 14th New York, cd
Pennsylvania, 32d Massachusetts and I'd
District Of Columbia, crossed the river and
proceeded mile and halfbeyOnd. They
took over 40 wagons which they brought
in at night loaded with forage They also
picked up 25 muskets.
Times Washington correspondent says,
we have the best authority for contradict
ing the statement telegraphed from here
last night to a Philadelphia journal, 70 the
effect that peace commissioners had been
sent here by the rebel Congress tOprOpOse
a compromise of existing troubles. The
Government has no knowledge of any such
action, and it is believed the rebels are zoo
we'll informed of its temper to suppose that
it will entertain any proposition except
one of unconditional submission to the
constituted authorities.
NASuluStOu eOEIeo pOuuehbo VI INC ONO-
ming papers say that the declaration of
Secretary Seward through Minister Adams
to England, of which we have news by
recent steamer, of the purpose of the Gov
ernment to issue letters of marque with q
view of checking hOstilities now carried on
by southern pirates on United States COM
merce, has caused no little sensation among
the representatives of foreign powers and
students of international law, here, who
regard it as tantamount to an official re-
cOgnitiOn by the United States, of the reb-
els as belligerents.
There is Intelligence from England that
$1,000 tons of iron, to be used for plating
vessels, is on the way to the South. But
even if the blockade is successfully run,
our iron-clad vessels will be ready before
those Of the rebels.
