A PLACE TO Spend lice AT.--Dr.
Afudd, Spangler, Arnold and O'Laugb.
lin nave arrived at the Dry Tortugas.
DIR. Mudd has been made assistant sur.
gcon in the hospital, Arnold is to be
made clerk, and the Others go to
their trades. A letter thus describes the
place
"The Tortugas. an island of some
thirteen acres in extent, has no particular
claims to present as a delightful place Of
protracted residence, being dry, barren,
and sand.covered, with but few trees
and less green grass and vegetation !;
but it is not Hadcs exactly, nor is it
Pandemcnium; and the conspirators
may congratulate themselves that they
have the freedom of its barren heaths
and arid sandbanks rather than the
close, dreary cells of the Albany pen
itentiary. where the pure sunlight seldom
penetrates, and where their fettered limbs
would chafe and their hearts beat against
only four Lard, naked and cherries stone
walls. Fort Jefferson, an enclosure OF
about seven acres Of the island, will be
their place of confinement during the
greater part ofthe times but at intervals
the inmates, mostly political prisoners,
have the freedom Of the entire surface
of the island. There are at present five
hundred and fifty of these criminals
confined at the Tortugas, who are well
treated, and who, other stories to the
contrary notwithstanding, do not wear
the ball and chain, excepting as a
punishment for extreme infraction of the
military law governing the fort and the
neighborhood. There were but nine
persons inmates of the hospital when
the Florida left, which is pretty, con.
yincing evidence that the prisoners are
properly fed and have the necessary
medical and surgical attendance"

j. q. Carew, Esq.--SIR l have the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
yonr communication Of this date, in.
forming me that, in compliance with the
proclamation OF Gov. Perry, you desire
to resume your duties as sheriff, and
take possession of the jail, now in the
hands Of the United States military au.

would respectfully inform you that
any attempt upon your part to exercise
the functions of sheriff would directly
conflict with my duties under existing
orders as military commandant of this
city and sub district.
The State is, at present under mar,
shal law, and the proclamation which
appears in the Courier, of July 3Ist,
purporting to be issued by Governor
Perry, but which may be. like many
newspaper reports. erroneous or unau.
thorized, can have no influence upon or
control over my actions except / am
directed to recognize it by my superior
officers, under whose immediate orders i
am serving. Should the proclamation
referred to above prove genuine, and its
policy sustained at Washington, / have
no doubt that the military authorities in
this Department will receive instruc.
tIons for their guidance in the effort
which the Government is making to re.
store the State to civil rule.

The Salisbury n. O. Onien Ban
mer has been suspended by military or.
der for publishing an offensiye editorial
to the military authorities commanding
that post.
North Carolina editors, with a few
exceptions, have been in the habit, for
years past, of calling one another very
hard names, and even going so far as to
bring up personal family matters in dis.
cussing political subjects in their papers.
AS the twig is bent SO the tree will
grow From blaspheming one another,
they have gone to using pretty rough
language towards the military, who are
not used to pocket such stuff--and. in con.
sequence, one Of thepapers guilty Of this
has been stopped.
