President JOhnsOh's Dispatch TO
Gov. Holden.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-The following is
the dispatch sent by President johnson to
Gov. Holden, already referred to:
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. IS, 1865.
WV. Holden, Provisional GoUernor:
Every dollar of the State debt created to
aid the rebellion against the United States
should be repudiated, finally and forever.
The great mass of the people should not be
taxed to pay a debt to aid in carrying on a
rebellion which they, in fact, if left to them
selves, were opposed to. Let those who
have given their means for the obligations
of the State look to that power they tried
to establish in violation OF law, Constitution
and the welfare of the people. They must
meet their fate. 1t is their misfortune, and
cannot be recognized by the people of any
State protesting themselves loyal to the
Government of the United States and the
Union. l repeat, that the loyal people of
North Carolina should be eXonerated from
the payment of every dollar of indebted
ness created to aid in carrying on the re-
bellion. 1 trust and hope that the people of
North Carolina will wash their hands of
every thing that partakes in the slightest
degree OF the rebellion, which has been so
recently crushed by the strong arm of the
Government, in carrying out the obligations
imposed by the Constitution of the Union.
[SignedJ ANDREW JOHNSON,
President of the United States.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-The World has q
dispatch from Nashville, dated yesterday,
which says: A startling discovery has been
made in this city within the last few days.
A large number of thieves have been dep
redating around the city for some time
back; all efforts to catch them have been
unavailing, until lately it has been ascer-
tanned that there are five different caves
under the city, which are occupied by
thieves, burglars and counterfeiters. The
McNary vault, in the graveyard, has been
put under guard, and men set to work to
effect an entrance, but as fast as the earth
Is removed, fresh earth is thrown up from
the inside of the cave. This is the same
cave that Murrill and his gang occupied
when engaged in running off negroes and
horses. The affair has been kept secret, but
leaked out in spite of the military. A year
ago it was reported that the McNary tomb
was used as aplace to store plunder, aud it
is commonly reported that lake, covering
five acres, and very deep, is directly under
the city. One man swears to this, having
thoroughly explored the entire cavern from
one end to the other. A guard has been
stationed over the Acklen and Harden
tombs. The locksmith gives his opinion
that the lock on the McNary tomb has been
used recently. The entrance to the cavern
Is at the foot of Summer street. The mill
tary are determined to find out the outlet
of the cave. The entrance looks like fis-
sure in the rock.
The discovery originated from the fact
| that quite number of murders have been
committed in the immediate vicinity, which,
led to an investigation disclosing the above
fact, eSttN- over t@7H..E r-.

The wirz Military Commission.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The Wirz Mill
tary Commission reassembled to-day
Judge Advocate Chapman proceeded to
read his argument on charge second, alleg-
ing murder, in violation of the laws and
customs of war, treating the subject under
four heads, as follows: First, the various
cases of death resulting from mutilation by
wounds. Second, those resulting from con-
fnement in the stocks and the chaingang.
Third, the cases OF killing of prisoners by
the guards, pursuant to the direct order
of the accused given at the time. Fourth,
the cases of killing by the prisoners own
hands. He briefly argued the responsible
ty of the accused, and said that every death
was murder for which he is accountable,
he having grossly violated the laws and
customs of war. At the conclusion of Col.
Chipman's reading of his argument, the
prisoner requested that DR.. Bates might
examine his person in the presence of the
court, to show that he was physically in
capable of committing the acts of murder
and the acts alleged against him. The re-
quest was granted. The President then an
nounced that the doors would be closed and
not again opened to the public. The court,
in secret session, deliberated on the case
submitted, but nothing can be known of the
result until it shall be officially promul-
gated.

Sunday Nights Dispatches.
From CharIestOn.

New YORK, Oct. 22-The Herald has
Charleston dates to the 18th, the day of the
election in South Carolina for Governor
and members of the Legislature. General
Bennett issued an order prohibiting any
army officers In any manner interfering
with it, and forbldding the presence of SOL
diers in the vicinity of the polling places.
NJ The workingmen of Charleston held q
meeting on the 10th inst, at which they
adopted an address to their fellow citizens
and nominated Wade Hampton for Cover
nor. In their address they express Their
belief that the destruction of slavery will
ultimately prove great benefit to all the
people of the State, and especially to the
workingman, as it will tend to free him
from the monopolization OF capitalists and
dignity labor. Ola .h.r, ~ siyf-aaag
ri The hostile attitude toward each other
in some tparts of South Carolina, of the
whites and blacks is represented, as assum-
ing a phase threatening serious results,
unless the difficulties be speedily adjusted.
Especially is this the case along portions
of the coast upon ihe Sea Islands, where
the negroes have been established
ON the abandoned plantations sub
ject to the control Of the officers OF
the Freedmen's Bureau. The planters who
now that the rebellion has been crushed,
are anxious to regain possession of these
lands, and allege that the freedmen
are allowing them to 60 to ruin, do not
raise enough for their own maintenance,
totally neglecting preparations for next
years crop, and yet refuse to give up pos
session. The white South Carolinians are
considerably incensed against the Freed
mems Bureau officials, whom they charge
with encouraging the negroes in their as
sumptions. 1t is principally with the OBJ
ject of endeav0ring to adjust these difficult
ties, as we have heretofore announced, that
Gen. Howard, commissioner of the Freed
mems Bureau, is now on a visit to South
Carolina. .-,-.c..t .s ,.t,,.,,.
The General arrived In Charleston on

From Washington.

New YORK, Oct. 2l.-The expenditures OF
the Navy Department for the year ending
June 30, 1865, amounted to $l12,000,000
The Secretary estimates the expenses of the
current year at $23,000,000. The Commits
sioner, Orton, has formally resigned his
position. The Secretary of the Treasury
has fully decided to appoint the present
Assistant Commissioner, Il. A. Rollins, his
successor. This announcement may be
considered official, and is made thus early
to forestall scores of applications that
would otherwise flow In. " E7 @'.s "~
A special to the Herald from Washington
says: The Secretary of the Treasury has
decided to issue the gold notes for New
York use, in the denominations of $1,000,
$1,000, 800 and $50. The $4,000 five
twenty bonds are now ready and being is
sued from the Registers office. Bonds, of
the other denominations will be ready be-
fore the end of the month.
Gov. Crapo, of Mich, LETT here last night.
Besides his interview with the Secretary of
War Yesterday, he also called upon Secre-
tary McCulloch and urged the satisfaction
of the State claim against the Government
for the equipment of its troops. He was
told that no claims of this character had
yet been settled. save that presented by
Massachusetts, which had been made the
exception in this regard because of the
persistent and annoying Importantly of
Gov. Andrew. OF this single instance of
forced partiality no State had been paid its
account against the War Department upon
this score, though it was intimated that it
had been partly determined to liquidate
such claims, by deducting from their
amounts the respective assessments of the
States under the direct tax. Under this
reasoning, Gov, CraDo was made TO see that
Michigan, which brings debt of two hum
dred and fifteen thousand dollars and is re-
quired to realize by direct tax five hundred
thousand dollars, would have balance of
nearly three hundred thousand dollars on
the wrong side of her ledger.
The Herald's special says: Postmaster
General Depnison, this forenoon, ordered
service on the East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad from Knoxville, by 25 intermediate
points, to Goodson, the service to be daily
or oftener.

Soldiers and Sailors National
Union League.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2l.-The Soldiers and
Sailors National Union League last night
adopted resolution that the soldiers and
sailors of the country unite to press upon
the Government their just claims, and call
ing National Convention to meet in WASH
ington on the 4th Monday of January next,
for the purpose of effecting permanent
organization, and to urge upon Congress
and the Departments the justice OF giving
the preferences in employment to men who
have honorably served their country as
soldiers and sailors. 1t will be recollected
that one, perhaps both, of the branches of
Congress at the late session, passed reso-
luton in support OF the above mentioned
object, and but recently the Secretary
OF the Treasury issued circular clear
ly intimating that applications from those
who have been disabled in the military and
naval service for more active pursuits are
hereafter to meet with favorable consid-
Grafton in appointments to office. '

Terrific Hurricane In West
India.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-Files of late West
India papers furnish us additional details
of the terrific hurricane heretofore noticed
in our columns, which swept over some OF
those Islands, on the 9Th of last month. AT
Guadiloupe it was particularly severe.
Houses were lifted from the ground, torn
to pieces and blown in fragments to con-
siderable distance and the air was filled
with the flying debris. In one town q
hospital was blown down and all its in
mates were either killed or wounded. The
crops of the Island were destroyed, scarce
ly tree was left standing, and, it is be-
lieved that many vessels were stranded or
sunk fu st.r"f 's .-''" -"
A melancholy affair occurred in British
Guinea on the 10Th of last month. A party
of several gentlemen left Georgetown on
the Sth of September to visit the Penal
Settlement of the Colony, and on their re-
turn, two boats, carrying number of the
excurtionists, undertook to 20 over the falls
in the Massaruni river; one boat passed
them in safety, but the other become un-
manageable, and out of twenty-one per-
sons on board, nine, including Capt. Bres-
ford, the Governors son, were drowned.
