THE REASON OF 1.-THE Raleigh Stan.
dard, Governor Holden's paper, referring to the
persistent Misrepresentation circulated at the
North in regard to the condition of Southern
public sentiment, thus forcibly aud, doubtless,
truthfully exposes the principal motive of those
anonymous and other hbelers, who have been
constantly retailing their ISLANDERS through the
medium Of the Northern press
'One of the objects of all these SANDERS was
pecuniary gain 1t had become widely known
that many Of the citizens of North Carolina
wished to sell their lanGs; and it was known
that many would be compelled to sell, and that
the citizens of the State were not able to pur-
chase. The great object, then, in this plan,
Was to prevent people emigrating from the
Northern States to North Carolina; that these
lands should thus be compelled to remain in the
market without buyers, till the prices required
by the owners should greatly decrease, when
the very men who had originated and circula-
ted these SANDERS, would buy up the lands at
these reduced rates; and then, letters and tele-
grams could again be circulated to order, caIcu
lated to induce Northern and Western people to
move to North Carolina and purchase lands.
Enough is known of these schemes to convince
any fair minded man that an extensive associa-
ton of men, some Of them of large means, had
formed themselves.into bands and societies for
this purpose, and what we have seen and read is
only part of this general plan When we are
apprised Of the object for which they were work
ing, no man can fail to see the shrewd cunning
of the plot, and the probability of its success, if
there had been any facts for such plan to start
upon. But happily for us, we are peaceable
and united, and such associations cannot work
out their schemes without some facts to sustain
them"

LETTER FROM GEN. JOS. f. JOHNSTON.
Buffalo Springs Meek lcnburg Co., Va,
July II, 1865.
You ask my "views of the future course and
future interests Of us all" The case is so plain
that very little can be said or written upon it,
We of the South referred the questions at issue
between us and the United States to the arbi-
trament Of the sword. The decision has been
made-and it is against us. We must acquiesce
10 that decision, accept it as fnal, and recognize
the fact that Virginia is again one Of the United
States. Our duties and interests coincide. We
shall consult the one and perform the other by
doing all We can to promote the welfare of our
neighbors and kindred, and to restore the pros
perity of the country. We should at once COM
mence the duties ofpeaceful citizens by enter
ing upon some useful pursuit, qualifying our
selves to vote, if possible-and at the polls our
votes should be cast for conservative men-men
who understand aud will maintain the interests
of Virginia as one of the United States.
This is the course which have recommend
the subject, and is that which have adopted
for myself, as far as practicable.
Very truly yours,

GEN. BEAUREGARD.-New Orleans, Aug. 10.
General Beauregard's house was surrounded
few nights since, aud Beauregard, with others,
were kept in a cotton press till morning. 1t was
supposed that Kirby Smith was concealed in the
house. A gentleman much resembling Smith
was mistaken for him. Beauregard complained
to General Sheridan Of the manner in which the
military invaded his house, the officers in COM
mand not being in uniform. General Sheridan
was greatly annoyed at the occurrence, and
righted the matter with General Beauregard.

PARDON REVOKED We had occasion day
or two ago to express our qualification at the
"pardon' Of Alexander Dudley, President of
the York River Railroad, for the reason that it
opened the way to resumption of operations on
that important line. We regret now to have to,
state that Mr. Dudley has been required by Gen.
eral Terry, acting, we presume, under instruc-
tons from Washington, to surrender his pardon.
We have heard no reason stated or surmised.-
The event will have an unfortunate tendency in
disqu:eting others who have received pardons,
and who, doubtless felt that they could rely on
them as final and irrevocable. 1t is to be re-
GREETED, too, on account of the public work over
which Mr. d. presides.-R'chnaon0 Times.
We confess to 10 little surprise at the fore
going. 1t must, however, be certain that Mr.
ID. had violated the conditions of his pardon,
and not that his pardon was revoked because Of
something going before it, We had supposed
that the exercise of Executive clemency was ir-
revocable. Indeed that the pardoned person
alone could make null his pardon by some SUBJ
scquent misde ed.-Raleigh Sentinel

ga- x bad negro, by the name of Bob Ste
venson, was shot and dangerously wounded by
the Guard, on Saturday night last, in this place.
He had been drinking, was very disorderly and
defiant, and in attempting to make his escape,
bantered the Guard to "shoot and be ID"
A shot was fred at him, inficting dangerous
wound, which will perhaps cause bis death.
The case was promptly reported to the military
authorities at Salisbury, who justify the punish
ment.
Let evil doors, white and black, understand
that they must keep order and refrain from
crime, for there is power that will bring them
to Stdtesuilte american.
We believe that the tone of public senti-
ment 10 the State is right-that our people gen.
orally take sober view Of things and are deci-
ded aud honest in accepting of the terms of
reconstruction proposed by the President.
A friend at Lincolnton 10 this State says:
GAS far as our people are concerned, every
one, as far as know, is accommodating himself
to present circumstances, without repiniDg after
what is lost There is no discomfort in this
portion of the State, but longing for a restor-
alton of civil law "-Roleiyh Sentinel.

from Captain Hussey appears in the New

tisement of jeff. Davis brother-in-law,
at the Pulaski House, Savannah. We
make the following extract:
On the evening of the occurrence, as /
was descending the stairs at the Pulaski
House, / saw a party at the foot, ingray
clothes, some of them evidently under
the influence of liquor, who We're talk

peated several offensive epithets-too
profane and vulgar for publication
which were evidently intended for my
ear. I replied "If you do not use lit
tie more respectful language in my pre-
sence shall be forced to compel you"
He responded with coarse personal
insult to me, and knocked him down.
