Press DispatchI
NEW YORK, May ga special to- the
Times from Washington says the delega-
tion from North Carolina now in that
city assert that the party known during
the war as the conservative party in that
State was in reality composed mainly of
Union men who we're compelled to as
sumo the guise of opposition to the ultra
advocates of secession, and that two
years ago Gov. Vance was elected to his
position as professed representative of
that party, but that he betrayed those
who placed him in power by becoming
the tool of jeff Davis. The first step
taken in reconstructing North Carolina
will be tho appointment of a military
Governor, under whose call State con-
vention shall meet and devise measures
for the proper amendment of the State
Constitution and the election of State
officers and members of Congress
Gen. Sheridan's new command virtu-
ally supersedes Gen. Candy in the com
mand of the Military Division of the
Mississippi Gen. Canby has been as
signed to the command of the Depart.
ment Of the Gulf. which relieves General
Banks, who is ordered to report to the
Adjutant General Of the army. The De-
partment of the Gulf is considerably ex-
tended. and will hereafter include sever
al States heretofore included in other
Departments This action, so far as it
refers to Gen Banks, is of purely mill
tary character, and it is not done as the
result of the labors of any Investigating
committee and hearance of charges pre-
ferred or pressure brought to bear
against Gen. Banks by the oliticians
now here. Those parties have never had
an interview with Gen. Grant, and he
knows nothing of their wishes or views.
This change in these several commands
has been contemplated several weeks.

ton 2lst says: The detention of JEFF Da-
Wis at Fortress Monroe is in the expecta-
ton that some time will elapse before

ces. His entire cavalry force passed by
his window at Willards' yesterday as a
tribute of respect to their departing
chieftain. On Saturday evening he was
sernaded, and when called upon for a
speech merely said he had been so long
in the service that he had no time to
make a speech-maker of himself, which
he regretted for the sake of the occasion.

spite to the Indiana conspirators, said be
