Letter from General John 4. Dix.

New YORK, July 13.-My Dear Sir
have received the call issued by yourself
and others for a National Union Conrcn-
ton in Philadelphia on the l4th of August.
| concur in its propositions, its reasonings,
and its objects, and will do all in my power
to carry them out.
| long since expressed the opinion that
the States were entitled to their reprcsen-
tation in Congress; that their exclusion
was violation of good faith and of the
obligations of the Constitution and that
a persistence in such policy must lead to
consequences most disastrous to the peace
Of the country.
These and other considerations con-
nected with the present unsatisfactory re-
lations of the States to the Federal Go
vcrnment, and to each other, render most
timely and proper such a meeting as You
have recommended Of the patriotic and
rejecting men of the Union to consult to.
gether for the general welfare.
! am truly yours, JOIN A. DIX.
Hon. James II. DO0little.

MILITARY ARREST UNDER GENERAL
GRANTS LAST ORDER.-On Saturday, Mr..
J. ii. Kcene, a Northern man, who resided
north of the Potomac during the war, and
came here about six months ago, was ar
rested and carried of to Richmond, to he
detained ain military confinement until a
proper judicial tribunal may be ready and
willing to try him."
1t seems that some days ago a negro was
passing under the window of Mr.. keene's
tin shop, on or near whom Mr.. Keene un.
Intentionally threw an old quid of tobacco
The negro, in an inSolent and threatening
manner, asked Mr.. Keenc "Who the HI
he was throwing his tobacco on" Some
words passed; the negro cursed him, and
he picked up Il small hammer and ran after
him. Ovcrtaking the negro, he asked what
he meant by his impudcncc, and the negro
repeated his impudencc and threatened
fight, whercupon Mr.. keene gave him q
few cracks with the hammer.
The negro was insolent to the magistrate
in his conduct when demandinga warrant
was proved by one negro and one white
man, who heard the quarrel, to have made
a false statement in regard to his conduct
in the beginning had not been hurt by
the punishment, and was really the first
in fault. The magistrate, thinking it un-
necessary to grant a warrant, failed" to
do so. On the Negroes statement, we sup
pose, Mr.. Kcene was arrested, taken from
his business, and carried to military con-

SERIOUS HAIL STORM IN SPOTsYLvANIA.-

storm of wind, rain, and hail passed over
that part of Spotsylvania county near the

Very serious damage was done to the

that section, and great damage to the best
crop of oats ever raised in that quarter.
To cap the climax of misfortunes, we
are informed an order was received from
the Frcedmen's Bureau here which took
all the hands, or most of them, from the
harvest fields. In some cases not hand
was left. What right, pray, has the
