Further About the Burning of the

New YORK, July 20.-The following is
an extract from letter from Capt. A. Bos-

er Lafayette, to, Geo. Mackenzie, agent of
| the General TRANSATLANTIC Company at
| New York:
On Tuesday, June 20, at 4P. NJ, about
latitude 42:l6, longitude 52:l2 fell in with
Two boats from the VIM. Nelson, burned at
| sea, apd took from them twenty-four male
and six female passengers, including the

from him the following: J. -eioAL - i'

son, with crew of thirty men. Left Ant
werp on the 4th with six hundred tons of
merchandise and four hundred and fifty
passengers for New York. On June 26, at
latitude 4l:2l, longitude 5022, having Just
taken observation, L was informed that the
ship was set on fire while ftrmigating, and
the flames spread so rapidly that had only
time to order the four boats to be lowered,
which were Immediately filled by those
nearest; and finding all efforts useless
soon followed. The scene on board was
horrible in the extreme. Thismorning at
o'clock the ship had entirely disappeared. 1
stood out for the northwest the other three
boats keeping company as long as they
could. | stood round in search of the two
missing boats, and at7:40 P. M. sighted
boat great distance. Stood for her, but
the Russian ship Ilmari, Captain Adolph
Niska,, having come up, the fourteen pas
sengers in the boat were picked up by that
ship, and at once transferred on board the
Lafayette. i learned from those passengers
that the remaining fourth boat parted from
them at about o'clock on the previous
evening; that she contained twenty seven
passengers, and must be in a southeasterly
direction. stood, therefore, in that direc-
tion, searching for her part of the night
and firing signal every five minutes but
did not discover the lost boat. Z The forty
four passengers were carefully attended to
on board the Lafayette. 1 had the men all
clothed with the ships seamen's clothing,
and the lady passengers on board the La
tayette provided for the female sufferers
The passengers also collected s62 francs for
their benefit. The Lafayette lost about
twenty-siX hours by the delay. .,.....,

From Washington.

New YORK, July 21.-The Heralds spe-
cial says: Statements in regard to pardons
granted from day to day are not strictly
correct. Names published are those of per-
sons whose cases have passed through the
Attorney Generals office and their papers
| prepared; but a large proportion of them
are to be acted upon by the President.
lTheyAwill eventually receive absolution,
but are yet not out of the woods. The
PRESIDENT is not disposed to grant pardons
by the wholesale.
The South Carolina delegation are still
here concluding arrangements tor recon-
struction of that State. Gov. Perry has
| prepared and forwarded to his State proc
lamation calling aConvention to revise the
Constitution. Delegates are to be elected
on the, first Monday, and the Convention
will meet on the third Monday in Noyem-
ber next. 7.tL 10 al'' ''.,' -''

toms at Rochester.
The object of the last visit here of John
Minor Bolts, has transpired. He came for
the purpose of obtaining pardon of his for
mer partner, Franklin Stearns of Rich
mond, which was granted by the President
to-day. Mr.. Stearns, it will be remember
ed, was,rwith Bolts, largely engaged in to.
bacco speculation at the beginning of the
war, from which each realized handsome
fortune.
Major J. Osborn, of the Judge Advocate
Generals office, has lately returned from a
visit to Southern prisons, where he has been
collecting evidence with view to bring
ing to Justice those who maltreated Union
prisoners during the war. Capt. Winse,
late commandant of Andersonville prison,
has been arrested and is now lodged in the
Old Capitol. Various other parties of the
same ilk, against whom charges have been
preferred, will soon be arrested and their
several cases duly investigated.

Encouraging Emigration 10 North
"i X Carolina. -.

New YORK, July 21.--North Carolina is
making active exertions. to secure -emigra-
ticn to her territory. Col.J M. Heck and
Kemp z. Battle are at the st. Nicholas Ho-
tel for the purpose of opening offices in
the North to furnish information and en-
courage emigration. They say the people
tof North Carolina are anxious to have the
State tiAedswith Northern settlers; and de-
sire to have their resources fully developed.
The feeling is very strong in favor of the
new, system of labor. and large majority
express gladness at the abolition of slavery.
They offer for sale or lease large quantities
of land, gold, iron and lead mines, and
water power, and offer liberal inducements
toemigration. This is the first step OF the
Kind taken by any State.

President johnson Endorses Gov
ernor PierPont's Policy Con fis-
cation I'm The Unde-
. veIoped Wealth Of the so,,.Ia


New York, July 2l.-The Herald,s Wash
ington special says: In an interview be-
tween Adjutant General Strather, of Vir-
ginia, rand president Johnsony the latter
stated that be had heard variety of opin-
ions upon the subject Of reconstruction in
that State, many of which were adverse to
Governor Pierpont and his policy. Never
theless he was firmly disposed to believe
in Governor Pierpont and his course, and
to render him all the assistance he might
require in the discharge of his important
duties; and he had no doubt that tile Coy
ernor would not only Justify the confidence
of the Executive, but likewise that of the
people of Virginia, over whom he was called
to rule.
An effort is being made to induce the
PRESIDENT to suspend the processes issued
under the confiscation lawagainst property
OF late rebels fin Richmond until The own
ers can have an opportunity to obtain ac-
ton upon their applications for pardon.
The effect of recent operations under the
act in Richmond is said to have been to sus-
pend the efforts which were making to re-,
build the burned district, and to have Elk
cited the greatest CONSERVATION among
property holders, who thought that they
were to be relieved from liability to confis-
cation of their property.
Reports from Northerners now travelling
In the Southern States, relative to evidences
of undeveloped wealth presented on every
hand In those States, are continually receiv-
ed. The following extract fromaIetter re-
ceived at the Land Office from Arkansas a
few days ago, is but fair sample of the
confident expressions in this regard:, s-g
"The mineral resources of this State are
enormous. Coal, lead, silver and gold are
all represented literally, and abundance of
petroleum Is undoubted. Results will soon
be developed that will astonish all. Hither-
