The inspections of the Veteran Reserve Corps
show that but LEO men out of the "a regiments
desire to remain in the service. There are $40
officers, thus leaving less than two privates to
each officer. Most of the latter are DESTROYS of
being transferred to the regular army, and are
awaiting the action of Congress in their behalf.
1t has been ascertained that IS per cent. of the
Gao officers of the Corps have been wounded in
battle, some of them as many seven times,
five per cent have become disabled from other
causes, and ten per cent from disease contract

~ Why can't the Baltimore Sun have the
fairness to say ''taken from the Washington
Star" instead of s.from the Washington papers
OF last evening"" when it gobbles column of
our matter, as in the case of our account of the
Wirz executionl The Sun knows that it re-
quires some labor and enterprise to get up as
full details as ours Of the execution, and if it
chooses to avail itself of labor, it should not
shrk making proper acknowledgment.

VISIT OF NORTH OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF II
PRESIDENT.


VISIT OF NORTH OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE
PRESIDENT.
There were a large number Of visitors at the
White House tins morning, most OF whom
were ladies. About half past one the doors OF
the Presidents apartment were opened, and
all granted an audience. Pardon brokerage is
becoming quite fashionable among females,
whose persistence at the Executive Mansion
not only renders them ridiculous, but exces.
sively annoying to the President General
Longstreet called again for the purpose Of
urging his suit tor amnesty, but as on every
previous day for the last week, received very
little encouragement. Senator Wilson, General
Sickles, and Governor Parsons, Of Alabama,
were also present.
Yesterday, members of the late North Car
olina Convention, and other gentlemen of that
State, visited the President. Hon. Mr.. Reid, in
behalf of the convention, over which he had
presided, after presenting certain proceedings
Of that body, placed in the hands Of the Presi-
dent request to Congress for the repeal Of the
test oath, which prevents those who partIci-
pated in the rebellion from taking seats in Con-
gress. He also asked the President to add to
the memorial some reflections which would
avail with Congress.
President johnson in reply said: 81 receive
from you with pleasure, copy Of the proceed
ings Of the Convention of North Carolina l
reciprocate, cordially, the conciliatory spirit
in which you have addressed me. The Con-
vention of North Carolina has done much and
well towards restoring that State to her proper
National relation. But something yet remains
to be done to render that restoration immedi-
ately practicable. An acceptance Of the Con-
gressional amendment abolishing slavery
throughout the United States, by the Legisla-
ture Of the State of North Carolina is in my
judgment practically important to the success
full restoration, which is so much desired by
all. Without answering specially the ques-
tons you have proposed to me, it will be suffi-
Gent to say that my action must depend upon
events, and that Mr.. Holden will be again in
structed to continue the exercise of his func-
tons as Provisional Governor until he shall
have been expressly prohibited by order to

Official reports received at the State Depart

far proved disastrous to Syria, agriculturally,
for nearly every green thing was devoured by
the locusts in many parts Of the country du-

a niurrain, which carried of in some places
seventy five per cent. of the cattle. Then came
the cholera, which is still at work ut Damas-

'That the people of this State entertain any

may be seen by the action of the city authori-
ties at Selma. The Superintendent Of Freed
men at that place refuses to take charge of tax
paying sick negroes, and informed the Mayor
of his action. On the following day the Mayor
issued an order for all freedmen to register
their names and pay the tax, upon penalty of
being driven from the town. I am told the tax
referred to is $40, and is levied upon free ne
groes only, according to the laws Of Alabama"
