PROMINENT REBELS PARDONED

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Heralds Fortress
Monroe correspondent says: Jefferson Davis,
| 1 am told, expresses himself greatly pleased at
his change of quarters. Temporary steps
| have been built admitting his going to the par
| apet from Carroll Hall direct. He takes his
! walks daily and continues in the enjoyment of
excellent health. There is the same guard
over him from his first entrance to the For
tress. New rumors are getting in circul alton
as to his trial, but not traceable, of course, to
any reliable source The most important of
these rumors has his trial to commence in o
few days, and to take place at Washington,
and to commence directly at the close of the
Wirz examination. Amid these conflicting
statements and surmses the only satisfactory
recourse after all is to leave the final decision
of the matter to time, that great arbter of
events and destinies.
Within the past "a hours there has been an
unusual arrival of gunboats. They consist of
the sdouble- turreted monitors, Miontanamaha
the side wheel and the old blockade runner,
Tristram Shandy and a sloop-ofwar, just come
in, the name of which is not yet known.
AS the election draws there is a grow
ing interest as to the local canvass and result
of the coming election in Norfolk. The most
interest, of course, centres in the Congressional
candidates. 1t is llderstood that Mr.. Chand-
ler will be the successful candidate.
There is no antipathy to Northern emigration
and thousands of acres nave already been
turned over.-
There has been unusual amount of gun
practice day inside the fort. The shooting,
as heretofore, has been principally to test the
strength of the guns.
Mai. Farmer, Of the engineer corps, to-day
mounted the first gun on the Rip. 2aps.

New YORK, Oct. l1.--By the steamer Ocean
Queen we have Panama dates to October lst.
Panama has been kept nightly excited by the
reports of an anticipated invasion to release
rebel prisoners and seizure of the President.
The excitement ceased, however, by the Presi-
dent putting the prisoners on board a vessel
and sending them to their homes in the Cauca.
The leaders consist of Ex-President Calaucha,
Coils. Nersa and Vallarino, and few others
were shipped off to Jamaica and Santa Mar
tina.
Business is stagnant The L. S. steamer,
Jas. Adger, had returned to Aspinwall from n
cruise to Rio Harcha, where, it was reported,
the U. S. Consolate had been attacked by
rebels and the premises sacked. 1t appears
the report was ruse to get foreign war ves-
sels to 60 there and frighten the revolutionists,
but it did not succeed, and the revolutionists
had probable possession Of the place. They
have also undoubtedly got possession of Santa
Martha The rebels appear to be making
headway throughout tho republic, and though
new government is to be inaugurated next
April, it is doubtful if the present one can sus-
tain itself till then.
The steamer from Central America bring in
formation Of great dissatisfaction throughout
the Republic against San Salvatore, for the
brutal execution Of ex-President Barrows.
President Duenas is obliged to keep his
house guarded, and dare not go abroad or re-
ceive any one from fear Of being assassinated.
From Peru we learn the rebels still hold the
Chincha Islands against the Peruvian Govern
ment, but allow American, English and French
vessels to land under their regular charters.
Matters, however, look q little favorable for
the Government.
The Spanish fleet had left for Chill, to settle
matters there so in the course of a month in

barbarism, and asserts that the labor Of the
black race cannot be made available in the
South. Public opinion is unanimous in favor
of u separation, and that the same views are
gaining strength rapidly over the South. He
also says that there will not be 200 bales of cot
ton grown in North Carolina the present year.

claim that it has heretofore prevailed under all
parties, but he does not consider the excuse of
any validity. The navy yards to be kept
