IPre ss Dispatch.


New YORK, June PA special to the
Times from Washington 2lst says: Cen
Wild, of Massachusetts,, has been assign
ed to duty as General Superintendent OF
the Refugee and Freedmen Bureau, and
will be put in charge of the State OF
Georgia, with orders to report to General
Lauton.
The 4th of July is to be appropriately
celebrated at Raleigh. a.
There were thirty-one petitiorsfor par
don filed with the President to-day
There were three persons pardoned to-
day, viz: Phillip Lee, of Kentucky; John
R Davis, of Tennessee, and Joseph L.
Seward, formerly amember ofthe United
States Congress from Georgia.
For the position of Assistant Secretary
of the Treasury for the city OF New YORK,
the names of Van Dyck and Blatchford
only remain. The former has something
of an advance He is supported by some
of the wealthiest and most influential
men in the country. In the latter gen
tlemans case, though urged by gentle
men of equally as great influence and re-
spectablity, the opposition appears to be
founded solely upon political grounds
The indications to-day are that Mr Van
Dyck will receive the appointment.
The South Carolina delegation arrived
here to-day and had apleasant interview
with the President, and afterwards with
the Secretary of War The delegation
ask that their State be placed upon the
some footing as the other wayward sis
ters, that Provisional Governor be ap-
pointed The delegates are of the same
subdued prO-slavery class so far as can
be Judged by the demonstrations at the
Executive Mansion this morning, and
though they bow to their destiny, their
concession lacks gracefulnessa and is made
with evident reluctance. Dr. Bates, who
had left for Charleston, returned, and
will represent the Union element of South
Carolina.
The Herald's correspondent writes from
Washington 2lst, says Caleb Z. Lyon,
of Idaho, denies having been run out OF
the Territory as publishedin New York
paper, and claims to be here on official
business. The Legislature ordered the
removal of the capital from Lewiston
to Boyces, and the dissatisfaction with
Governor Lyon is represented to be con-
fined to citizens of the former place, be-
cause of his refusal to veto the bill.
YA special to the Tribune, from Wash
ington 21st, says Hon. Isaac Arnold, sixth
Auditor, has had a schedule made of the
postal Indebtedness to the Government
of all the Presidential officers in the re
bellious States up to the time OF the
breaking out of the war. The aggregate

A numher of the pOstmasters have re-
ported the amount of their Indebtedness
and their willingness to pay up. A few
have forwarded the money.
1t is stated that ex-Gov. Wright, of
Ind, will be rendered the mission to Ber-
lin. The announcement gives satisfac-
ton.
The President has rescinded the order
of the Secretary of the Interior creating
a new board of examiners for the Kansas
Branch of the Pacific railroad
