Charlotte papers were silent We came to the concu
sion that there was no.truth ia the reports.
Major Pierce has been relieved from duty, snd
his successor has taken charge of the office, but
this is the first time We hare heard anything about
his being dismissed the service. A Court of En-
quiry is now sitting in this city, and learn that
the case of Maj Pierce is being investigated; and
when the investigation shah have been concluded
wa doubt not but that the result will be made pub
lie by the authorities And until the result of the
investigation shall be made public, we presume the
Raleigh papers have discretion enough to keep ST.
