CAPTURE or GOV. vAycE's CORRESPONDENCE.
Since the arrest and forwarding VI the late Rebei
Governor OF North Carolina TO Washington. there have
been dgent and inquiries made for the State
archives and the correspondence Of tho Governor.
which was known to be volamnous His intimate re-
lations with Davis particularly during the past two
years az well a. with all the military authorities OF the
Conedcracy made this official correspondence matter
OF considerable interest The arrest aud prospective
trial Of Vance made tho discovery and possession OF
these records very important TO the Government The
books with other property OF tho State carried
away when Vance absconded.
Subsequently, Investigations were set on foot here by
the military authorities by which clue was obtained
to their probable place Of conccalment. Gen. Cox
commanding tho Twenty third Army Corps. whose
headquarters are at Greensborough. was accordingly
on the subject and following the hints thus
obtained found the desired correspondence In the
shape Of two largo bound books at the house at lato
cashier of the bank where Vance made 1t his homo
while at Greensborough These letters refer to all the
puldc affairs during the space OF time Gov. Vance Oc'
cupled the Governors chair. The correspondence on
military affairs Is vouminous and carried with
all or nearly ALL tho public men Of tho Confederacy,
from jeff Davis down, including tho Governors OF the
Southern States and all the prominent generals
! Among others there 10 letter IN George N Sanders
and reply. Among many bad things. as showing the
active and jealous part taken In the Rebellion BY Vance,
there IA redeemng letter two to the Rebel Secre.
tary OF War Seddons and Bradley;M. Johnson Brig.
Cen urging an inquiry into the alleged great suffer.
incs OF prisoners at Salisbury. and the appli
cation Of measures Of relief II true these abuses
would be likely to provoke retaliation besides being in.
human and barbaou This part Of the correspondence
possesses great interest.
The books were brought to Raleigh by Capt. q. A.
Lyon, Chief Quartermaster Twenty third Army Corps
They will be sent To Washington. and will no doubt
materially contribute to throw light upon the affairs
now undergoing examination. Bradley M. Johnsons
letter Is particularly instructive touching his views Of
the rights Of paroed prisoners. ...
