Important Letter from General IN.


RALEIGH, N. G., Aug. 16.-NIaj. Gen.
fitzpatrick has written a letter to a Cen
eral in this city endorsing the course of
the Raleigh Progress, and the represent
tatlons of the loyal Northern press for
exposing the evil intentions of disloyal
leaders In this State, which the General
says represents the true condition of
AFFAIRS, not only in North Carolina but
IN al! other 1nsurrectionary States, and
up by the friends of the government,
put should be generally known that
the people may learn the correct state
1nent OF things as they now exist in the
South, Which will enable them to act
understandingly and with justice to all
The General is taking a trip through
the State. While here the other day he
is reported to have said, after being in
formed by a brother officer that these
Provisional Governments are q fiZzle.
that he was fearful that it would be so.
and that the results so far show that we
had commenced reconstructing these
disloyal States too soon by mt least four
years; that 1t was unreasonable to sup
pose that these States would recognize
or respect the constitutional amend
ment abol1shing slavery even if they
were forced to ratify the same in order
to secure their return to the Union,
after which event, it was apparent from
their past actions, that the reign of ter
ror existing in the South before the
war would again be realized; that these
States cannot justly claim the same
right to manage their own affairs
as is accorded northern States, that it is
still more unreasonableto suppose that
their representatives will be reconciled
to the existence of II national debt, one
of the chief instruments by which they
were subjugatcd, and which they must
assist to pay. That Judging from the
past, and from the disposition of the
southern people, dislOyaIty will increase
in the South us long us All excuse is Of
tered for it, more especially so when
they infer that they nre to he still trent
ed more magnnnimOusly. Hence what
have they TO fear for prOmulgnting trc;-
son and tOrturing the negroes for SYM
pathizing with the Union that the latter
assisted TO preserve, and that officers
ana soldiers, who have sacrificed so
much for our sacred cause, are not re-
conciled to the immediate return Of
these diSlOyal States to the Union,
heHded by their trcachorous leaders
who can't bc trusted, and who, with
their northern allies, stand ready the
moment they are i'll power to inilict
mortal stab i'll the nations heart.
that with the cOpperhead partr i'll pow
or comes free trnde, the Reputation of
the National debt, also the privilege 10
those dislOyal States to defy the gov
eminent by rc-enslaving the bucks,
and finally that with the assistance Of
cOpperhCad administration they will
be able to bring about IL final sGpur;l-
ton between the North and South.

NEW York, Aug. ls.-The Times saws
of the Ketchum forgery: The effect M nm !.
on hetchum, Son IL Co. as deyeloped
Yesterday is disastrous. What 1t will
De eventually when the storm of excite
ment mas passed is another question.
Ihus far the case sums up thus:
First, they have lost nstolen sureties
between s., 00O, 600 and 5000, 900.
ment and all operations.
Third, they have assigned their prop
erty TO 7. z. Cushman, President of the
Tenth National Bank and Il. Bement, a
former partner of Morris Eetchllm. Jr.
for the benefit of creditors
Fourth, the balances due customers,
mainly New England banks, amount
to the tremendous sum of 50. 500 OOO
Fifth, they have published II remark
able card, in which they have given the
public an idea of their business, which
differs materially from the idea provi-
Ously entertained.
1t has been truthfully stated that
Charles Graham Il Co. paid OH present.
alton S2S5, 900 of the forged gold checks
on Monday, and that Edward IIetchun
gave them on that morning $50, 900 10
do it with. The public viewed this
transaction with some distrust, and we
deem it due to the honor of Mr.. Graham
to record facts as drawn from him in n
conversation with him yesterday after
noon mt 4 O'Clock, i'll Wall street.
ITmeS-Nlr. Graham, you paid $685.
900 of these forged checks OH Mon
day. We knew that Edward Ketchum
drew check for $500, 900 before he went
OIL; did he give you the money to pay
the checks with?
NJ. G'dhum.-IIe gave me no money,
but as was his constant custom, he gave
me check with which to meet his oh
legations. The check was for $3.50, 900,
which ! deposited and drew against it,
but what do you think is the re-
suit? :" Morris Eetchum refuses to
honor the check, and 1 found
it thrown out by his bank, re-
turned to my bank, and 1 am notified
of the over-drawing of my account to
that amount. 1t is IL most eXtraordi-
nary and cruel business. The check was
drawn by Morris Kctchum, Son & Co.,
before they suspended, was received by
me in good faith, deposited i'll bank,
drawn Hguinst and passed to the bank
where Ketchum, Son IL Co. dealt. It
seems rather hard that should have to
suffer to this extent i'll addition to what
have already borne.

Imhunnn Treatment of Union PrIxo
nerN in TexnS.


New YORK, Aug. IS.-The Tribune's
Tyler, Texas, correspondent describes
Camp Ford, near that place, u prison
pen second only to Andersonyillei in the
barbarism and atrocities inflicted unOn
Union prisoners for two years. The
correspondent says that scourged,
beaten and tortured, these prisoners
We're too far OFF and too closely guarded
for their groRns to be heard by those in
the outside world, and their sad story
only became known from their own
shrunken lips after they Ind been eX-
changed. 1t is II stoclladed Enclosure of
judge, eight or ten acres. This esti-
mate includes all adiuncts of the
prison. 1t is situated on the side of
II sandy slope, Mt the lower edge of
which, and just within the stOckndG, is
IL spring that supplied water TO the
prisoners. The enclosure, which seems
to have been enlarged Mt different
times to meet the requirements of the
rebel captures, is filled with huts and
sh0nties of almost every imaginable
shape, and constructed of every aVaila-
bic material. Two barrels, one on top
of the other, form the chimney of Il
hut made of bushes, the limbs of which
have been pressed together and plas-
tered together with mud. Near the
point Mt which we entered, there is IL
number of ,grnVe-like mounds scattered
over the space of about one acre. 1, at
first, though they were graves, but, on
examination, found they We're excava-
tons in tho ground which had been
covered with bushes and dirt. They
had been made by those of our men
who had been captured last, and for
whom there was no room in the huts
above ground. Everywhere are black
encd spots which show where fires had
been made, by means of which those
who had no shelter mt all, cooked their
daily mite of meal. The cooking uten-
sis which they had used arc strewn
about, as ] noticed in oneO the huts,
piled up with care, tolwttit further use
Toward the upper side ofsthe enclosure,
where there seems to hive been n prison
for the confinement of offenders, are
several stumps, i'll the tops of which
those who violated any of the prison
rules were made to stand and mark
time for perhaps whole day, while the
guard had imperative orders TO shoot
any one that stopped or fell off, from
exhaustion. The whole scene, with its
associations, is n horrid illustration of
the inhumnnity that originated and
carried on the rebellion until its over
throw.
