NEW York. Sept. 24.-The Times
special says: raaass1sss Il 81 sal
General Grant to-day approved and
forwarded to the President General
Sickles' application for court of in
quiry. Much anxiety is expressed to
learn what the Presidents action on
this case will be. If granted, it will
certainly afford an excellent oppor-
tunity to vindicate the success of mill
itary reconstruction and if not
granted, it will be equivalent to vim
dication of General Sickles. The
ridiculous dispatch that If it is not
granted the latter intends to resign
and take the stump, is too absurd for
serious contradiction. s.....
An affray took place at one Of the
hotels between Senator Patterson, of
Tennessee, and General Kyle. of the
same State. Patterson slapped Kyle's
face, whereupon Kyle knocked him
down. Patterson then attempted to
shoot Kyle, when friends interfered.
A reconciliation took place; they
shook hands, and took drink. o.s
The Issbu,se's special says the dis
patch in its correspondence of yester-
day concerning the anticipated post
ponements of the elections in the
South was official, coming from Presi-
dent johnson himself ~ wsE
Grant has not yet had any corre-
spondence with commanders on the
subject. According to the President
he and Gen. Grant had agreed that
such course should be taken, but
although this alleged understanding
has been existing for several days,
Gen. Grant has, as yet, taken no
steps in the matter, and it is given
out since officially from the War De-
partment that he viii do nothing
neither in the way of ordering or
suggesting, but will leave everything
with the military commanders them
selves.
According to this statement of the
situation, if Mr.. johnson wants a
postponement he will be compelled
to order it on his own responsibility.
This forenoon a ward of Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens, residing here, re-
ceived dispatch dated 9 A. M. to-day
saying, " Mr.. Stevens is now dying.
Nothing further has been heard. He
has dropsy on the chest.
The World says the President has
pardoned Mallory, the rebel Score
tary of the Navy. This is his first
pardon granted to a member of the
rebel Cabinet.

TIE VIRGINIA. CoNyENT1oN.-The

THE VIRGINIA. CoNvENTIoN.-Ihe
meeting of the Union Republican State
Convention of Virginia marks a new
era in the political history of the Old
Dominion. For the first time there is
a brilliant prospect that the mother of
Presidents and statesmen will be IA
vored with republican form of gov
ernment. She will obtain it through
the efforts of her oppressed and despis
ed laboring classes. This is significant.
1t closes the door of hope forever against
the old politicians of the State. Their
glory and power have departed, partly
through their own madness and folly,
and now the seal of reputation and
contempt is irrevocably fastened upon
them. Hepceforth the destinies ofVir-
ginia will be controlled by a new and a
far different class Of men. Instead of
that craftsmanship which meant ineffa-
BILE meanness and corruption, we will
have an era of honesty and of the pre-
valence of all rights for all. The con
vention which met at Richmond on
Wednesday presages all this, and more:
1t was composed almost entirely of
the laboring classes whites and blacks
men smarting under the wrong and
oppression of the Masons, Hunters, and
other so-called statesmen. And yet
with a generous magnanimity, beauti-
fully typical of the spirit of the Federal
Government, these men were willing to
forgive the most bitter and malignant
of their prosecutors. In token of this
they made the prayer Of the Episcopal
Church C for our enemies Il part Of their
address to their fellow-citizens. The
late rebels will never be elevated to
power through the aid of the newly Y en-
franchised class, but the negro cherish
es no spirit of resentment OF revenge to-
ward his late master. The resolutions
of the convention, it will be seen, fully
endorse the loyal majorities of Congress
and adopt the great principles Of the
Union Republican party. Thus in Vir
ginia as elsewhere, the good work has
been fairly inaugurated. Our friends,
we understand, are busy organizing in
every town and county of the State
Though not as numerous as in some of
the States farther South, they are yet
sufficiently strong to carry at least one
half the State. While the late rebels
affect to sneer at them and pretend not
to notice them, it is clearly evident that
they dread their power. The conven-
tion was complete success and its de-
iberations were marked by harmony
and good sense WasAingtOa ChrOni-

DEsTITUTIoN IN NORTH AND SOUTH CAR
oLINA-A letter is published in the National
Intelligencer from s. H. Walkup, Esq, of
Monroe, Union County, n. c., in which the
writer says, that fifteen hundred persons in
that county have no corn, and no means to
purchase it-these are generally women and
children, and about one-fifth negroes. There
are five hundred more persons, he says, who
have, perhaps, poor piece of land but no
provisions. So that there are at least two
thousand persons in that county who are en-
tirely destitute, and have not even corn to
last them week.
In South Carolina the destitution is even
greater-Gov Orr estimating that there are
one hundred thousand people in that State
who have not tasted meat in thirty days, and
many cases of death by absolute starvation
are reported.
The Charleston Mercury alluding to this
latter fact, affirms that every word of 1T is
true, and states that there are besides hun
dreds and thousands of cases of distress and
want of which Gov. Orr has not heard sol
itary word The Mercury calls upon Car
olinians," and says:
"There are thousands of charita BILE persons
in the North who will not believe in oul
need, because they hear of feasting and rev.
elry, banquets and dances, mirth and jollity
in this desolate city of ours they could not
know that hundreds of Charlestonians, once
wealthy and still gentle and refined, have
not tasted flesh meat for twice thirty days,
and now are, in silence and without com
plant, living upon bread and water 1t is
time, then, for us to show that want ofpower
alone has caused our silence and that what
ever may be our need we can still afford a
mite to those who now call for comfort and
reliet A little sacrifice, slight depriva-
ton, is all that is necessary"

Senator Wilson in Richmond.

RICHMOND, April % Senator Wilson ad-
dressed crowd of about six thousand per-
sons from the capitol steps this afternoon
Nearly all those present were colored. He
was introduced by Gov. Peirpoint. After
alluding to the fact that he visited Rich
mond upon the invitation of both houses of
the Legislature, he proceeded to give his
tory of the reconstruction bill. He then re-
cited events which had transpired since the
close of the war to show that Johnson's poll
cy had been adopted against the will OF the
nation, and had caused more unhappiness
than the work of any other man in America.
1t again excited men who Lad been more
than willing to accept the terms of Congress.
The reconstruction bill was not passed
to humiliate the South, but to meet the
needs of the whole country. The ques-
ton now before the Southern States is,
whether they will elect men to State offices
and congress who favor an honest acceptance
of the policy of the nation, or men who still
mourn over the lost cause" and who hope
something may turn up to overthrow that
policy and restore their old ideas and old
measures. Patriotism demands that the
latter class shall never more be permitted to
participate in the management OF the State
or general government. The apostacy OF
Andrew johnson had made the triumph of
the republican party at the next presidential
election certain. The speaker wanted all
classes of men, the colored and the white,
the loyal and those who had abandoned the
wicked heresy of secession, to stand together
on the national platform of the republican
party. AS for the colored vote of Virginia,
he had no fear of its being controlled
by the secessionists. He appealed to the
old wings of Virginia, the followers of
Henry Clay, who declared that slavery
was grievous wrong that no contingen-
cy could make right" to seize the occasion
and write their fortunes with the Republican
party. Now was their day and hour to car
ry Virginia by an overwhelming majority.

sequent period, when it is thought all parts
of the State will be fully represented and
thorough organization effected. The best
Radical men here appear to disown the one
or two men who. protesting to be Radicals,
have so injured the loyal cause here as to
keep good and true men away from our
camps. The prospect now is that they will
be utterly ignored, and the good work car
ried on by wiser hands. There are some
distinguished Republicans here from the
North expecting to attend and address the
Convention on Wednesday, and others are
expected.
A paper is being drawn up and signed by

Greedy, Henry Ward Beecher, Mr.. Bryant,
and Others, to come here and address the
