The Herslds Richmond correspondent
says the order for revoking the pardon of
| Mr.. Dudley, President of the York River
Railroad, emAnsted from President John
son himself, in consequence of Dudley hay
ing indulged in strongly disloysl language
subsequent to receiving the Executive
| clemency.
1t is said that certain Virginia banks
have been receiving rebel money up to the
present time in liquidation Of liabilities
due them.
The Herald's Fort Monroe correspondent
says thereport that the military authorities
have held conversation with JEFF. Davis
wherein the latter, among other things,
disclsimed any acquaintance with the no.
torious Captain Wirz, or knowledge of the
inhumsn treatment to which our prisoners
at AndersoAVille were subjected, is un-
founded in truth. Except General Miles
and the officers on guard duty, no officer
has had any conversation with JEFF. Davis,
or even been allowed to visit him. One of
President Johnson's sons had long inter-
view with him few days since, and he is
the only civilian to whom the privilege has
been granted and his conversation was d.
rected to general inquiries as to his health,
and how prison life agreed with him.
The Herald's Washington special SAYS if
is understood that Wirz to day, the 3Ist.
placed in the hands of his counsel volumi.
nous documentary evidence to prove that
in establishing the dead line within the An
dersonville prison yard and the shooting OF
prisoners VINO crossed it, he, in the first in
stance acted under the direct orders of
rebel General Winder and more laterly by
the emphatic orders Of ]. A. Sedden, rebel
Secretary of War.
The Commission now trying Wirz decid.
ed to reject the testimony of Sergeant Bos.
ton Corbett, which Appeals1 in the record
of this court two days of this week, on the
ground that he is q monomsniac on the sub.
ject of Andersonville cruelties.
The records of the Andersonville prison
captured by Gen. Wilson are missing.
One of the clerks of the QuartermasterJs
Department who accompanied the expedi-
ton, and in whose hands the records were
last seen, has been placed under arrest by
the military authorities until he can give
q satisfactory account of the disposition he
made of them. It is thought by some that
the records were stolen instead of being
lost, for the purpose of preventing them
-hAines nand a1iAenoa against UNirz
Mr.. Kennedy, late of the Census Bureau,
is conditionally offered the Presidency of
the United States Telegraph Company at
8 salary of $4,000 per annum.
The Times Washington special says the
President and Secretary of War are de-
cidedly in favor of trial by civil court
and at as early day as possible, of JEFF.
Davis. The difficulty has been to fad q
proper tribunal. The President looks with
favor upon Knoxville, Tenn, where Davis
committed an overt act of treason by incit-
ing an insurrection in speech to his army.
In casehe is tried before Chiet Justice Chase
Norfolk, Virginia, will be selected. This
is what Davis friends desire. The state
ment that the Grand Jury of this District
hssfOund bill against Davis for construct
tive treason does Injustice to the intelli-
gence of that Jury. The Indictment was
for an overt act.
1t may be further said that whenever and
wherever the trial does take place, Gen.
Butler, in conjunction with the Attorney
General, will take 8 prominent part as
public prosecutor. The whole matter has
been under consideration at a recent Cab
met meeting, where the question of mode
and place was so far decided as to render
the trial an event near at hand.
Income receipts, to day, are far ahead of
any one previous day. They amount to
81, 43l, 1l5 81, which is $42O, ,O0O ahead of
former days. The entire receipts for July
and August amount to $57,sl5, ,9S4, and
there is reason to believe that this sum
will be increased to $9O,OOO,OOO by the 1st
of October,
