He says that his visit was satisfactory, that the temper Aud tone of the Southerners were worthy of Ptriotic appreciation, but thst there is wo au- thority for the statement that he intends to is- sue an address signed by these with whom he bas been in conference. As his visit was for the purpose of asceriaining for himself their feelings and views, he does not know that any publication from him will be required or may become necessary. The propriety of any such course rests exclusively with himself, His positive denial that he kgs brought with him a manifesto from the Soufhern leaders at the White Sulphur Springs, together with his mtmations that he may publish a statement | with regard to his conversations on political subjects with them, are regarded as an indica- tion that there was some hitch about agreeing upon the substance and form of the proposed address, or getting the desired signatures to it, The whole upshot of the matter, and all the private information received, confirm the be- lief that the most important political subjects under consideration at the White Sulphur con- ferences were connected with the conduct of the campaign in the reconstructed aad unre- constructed States. : Tae INTERNAL REVENUBSTUPERVISORS.—No Srrangement for the appointment of Supervi- sors of Revenue has been arrived at, though & proposition has been made by Secretary Mc.

Al- though it bas been agreed toat the matter should be lett open as yet, the opinion is quite decided that no call fora session at that time Will be issued. Should a session for any rea- son be called, it will probably be simply with a view to take another recess until October, and not for legislation. It is the opinion that it is too late for an attempt to distribute arms, Authorize militia organizations, or any other legislation to effect any practical purpose.

He said that man isan in. ide] who does not see the hand of Providence in the affairs of this nation daring the past seven years.

They fought to establish am asylum for the oppressed of every nation. He said the Declaration of Independence was a contract witt the Almighty, and he who de- nies that it refers to the negro as free and equal is an infidel. Where the Declaration says, “we, the people,” it means as well as whites: and it is surprising that Irishmen, coming from a land of oppression, are first to join im the hoy! of down with the negro. He said that if negroes were ineligible, no laws & acted were legal. To turn out these men is revolution.

When be was brought face to face with deat! with no hopes of a further reprieve, bis con tenance changed, and indicated by its workings the terrible struggle that was going on wituin. Upon being asked by the Sheriff if he had any. thing to say, he Teplied no, but that he was in. nocent of the murder of Mr. Wooten, for which he was to suffer death. He stated that there Were four men in the plot, three of whom are now confined in the Norfolk jail, but persi: tently refused to divulge the name of the fourta party. Young was then told to prepare for death, as his tire was drawing near. He knelt down on the scaffold and made a short and fer- vent prayer, at the conclusion of whieh he burst into tearsand wepthkeachild The rope Was then adjusted, he in the meantime protes:- ing his innocence, and at eight minutes of 12 o'clock the piattorm fell, but the rope not being sufficiently strorg, broke, and the prisoner came to the ground.
