THE CONFEDERATE STATES DEBrs.-The
following despatch from the President to
Governor Holden, we take from the Ra-
leigh STANDARD of recent date:
WASHINGTON CRY, Oct. 18, 1865
IT, TR. Holden, Provisional Garernor:
Every dollar ofthe State debt, created
to aid the rebellion against the United
States, should be repudiated, finally and
forever. The great mass of the people
should not be taxed to pay debt to aid
in carrying on rebellion which they in
fact, if left to themselves, were opposed
to. Let those who have given their means
for the obligations of the State, look to
that power they tried to establishin yio-
lation Of Law, constitution, and will Of the
people. Phey must meet their fate. 1t
is their misfortune, and cannot be rccog-
nized by the pooplc of any State profess
ing themselves loyal to the Government
of tho United States, and in the Union.
repeat, that the loyal people cf North
Carolina should be cxoncratcd from the
payment of every dollar of Indebtedness
created to aid in carrying on the rebell-
ion. I trust and hope that the people of
North Carolina will wash their hands of
everything that partakcs, in the slightest
degree, Of the rebellion, which has been
SO recently crushed by the strong arm of
the Government. in carrying out the obli-
cations imposed by the Constitution Of
of the Union.

President of the United States.


THE White MEN AND THE NEoRo.-
The Louisville Journal says:
With reference to the destiny of the
cmancipated, slaves, our conviction is, that
as long as they remain in the midst of the
white people, as freemen, they must labor
daily for their own livelihood, and that,
finally, they must give way before the in
crcasing emigration of white laborcrs into
the South whenever the latter can answer
the need for labor in that section. Be-
lieving, as we do, in the superiority in ev-
cry respect, of the white man over the
negro, and holding, also. that there is no
portion of tho country, between here and
the Gulf, whore the white man cannot
successfully till the soil, We have felt war
rantcd in the prediction that the ultimate
destiny of the negro will be similar to
that of the Indian, who have exercised
control over the present States of the
Union, has been driven from his former
hunting grounds to the most sterile re-
gion of the far West, whence he must
soon depart to make room for tho resist
less tide of white emigration.

From the London

from the London Mercantile Gazette, 23d.l
The New York correspondent of the Norm
ing Herald gives the substance of conversa-
ton which is alleged to have taken place be-
tween President johnson and prominent
Democrat on the Monroe doctrine. The Dem
ocrat seems to have urged the President to
adhere to that prime article of Yankee faith,
and Mr.. johnson replied to the following eff
feet;
"My mission is the Union. | feel that if
| can, within my term of Office restore all the
States to their former relations with each other
and with the Union, and can bring about as
well a harmonious, if not an absolutely fra
ternal feeling between the North and South,
l shall have merited the applause of my
countrymen, and earned an honorable place
in history. To the restoration of the Union
in spirit as well as in fact---I shall bend all
my energies shall permit no foreign ques-
ton to interfere with the full development of
my scheme for such restoration have
enough to do without devoting attention to
other matters. The Monroe doctrine is all
right. l believe in it. But there are greater
principles at stake than those involved in that
question. When the Union is restored it
will be time for talking about foreign aggres-
sions on this continent l shall do all can to
make the Southern people happy, and to pal
late the bitterness Of their defeat"

A FEW DAYS since one of our old Confede-
rate friends up the country was asked by
another to subscribe to our paper. He de-
clined, upon the ground that he could not
support man whose former political views
had undergone such change-in other words,
we had become too strong Union man for
former rebel officer
Well, now, that's pretty tough upon US
but in the language of the great Artemus, we
" cant see it by those lamps" We must con
fess, however, that we have changed-some-
what. This change has been produced partly
by reflection and partly by the whipping we
got; and still partly by a sense of gratitude
for the magnanimous treatment which we of
the South have received and are receiving
from the National Administration. Yes, we
are for the union-the Union of the nation
upon the Conservative basis exhibited in Presi-
dent Johnson's policy. We have urged our
old friends to view this question in the same
light, and shall continue to do SO. We have
earned the right to talk to them on the sub
ject, by trying to be faithful to the cause which
has gone up We suffered for it, and have
just sense enough left to know that the most
direct way to atone for an error is to acknow-
ledge it and begin over We are doing it in
good faith. If our former friends wish to
withhold support from us because we are try
ing to re-establish peace and happiness by adj
vocating the supremacy of National Unonism,
why, 60 in. 1t may be right, but it's mighty
poor policy .-Nevbern Times.

Interesting Testimony in the Wirz


Geo. W. Reynolds, who testified in the Wirz
trial on Wednesday, made some curious and
interesting statements. The following is a
summary of his evidence:
He was taken prisoner while spy in the
national service. Andersonville stockade was
much like compact city There were 5000
prisoners; the pen was laid out in Streets and
most of the vacations known to urban life were
carried on within it. There were about one
thousand regular dealers, including bankers,
brokers, provision merchants, bakers, tailorss,
shoemakers BARRIERS, jewellers, soup iobbers,
gamblers &C., who kept open shops and Off
ces and did thriving business. At these es-
Establishments could be bought, if one had the
money, all the necessares and many of the
luxures of life. The witness himself kept
shop and drove heavy trade He said there
were about half million dollars in green
backs in the prison, The prisoners had also
among themselves regular judicial and police
organizations, and at one time five disorderly
characters among them, who had been found
guilty by jury of their fellow captives were
hung. He himself acted as a magistrate He
told many other wonderful things of similar
character relative to the interior life of the
prison. He had known suffering among the
men from exposure, but could not say that he
had witnessed it from hunger.

to, and were marched to the guard-house.
