Senator Hampton, of South Carolina, is 10
the city to day. His attention being calico
to a recent statement to the effect that upon
one occasion he had heard Gen. 4. e. Lee
speak in the highest terms OF Gen. Malone
aud talk about recommending the latter for
the command of the army In case any thing
should befall him, said there was net WORD
of truth in it; that be never heard Gen. Lee
say or intimate any thing OF the kind; does
not believe he ever did, and knows be never
did if be knew as much about Gen. Mahone
as he. Hampton, Gen. Heth and many other
officers of the army did.

North Csrolnians here are very wroth at
the intimation that the Apache Indians are
| to be put on a reservation in their State
They say Vermont Is more in need of set
| tiers than North Carolina, and that II the
government must move the Apaches. 1t had
much better send them to the former State
Word has been received at the navy de-
partment that the Kesrsage, at New YORK,
will he ready for sea Tuesday. She will
take Fred Douglass to Havti. The officers
of the Ossipee, the vessel first selected for
carving Douglass TO Hayti, drew the lice at
his sleeping in their quarters and eating at
their tables, and go arranged matters that
the Ossipee was found unseaworthy. What
those of the Ksarsage will do has not yet
TRANSFERRED Race antipathy will crop out.

enue service to day were the following: Geo. W..
Brown, guager, 9th, Va; G.. NJ. Jennings, Eli
Kane E. K Mitchell, James a. Taylor, all in 9th
