Major John C. Whitner, late of the Confederate States army, has been appointed to write up the proceedings of the Provisional Congress--a work which Johnson J. Hooper, by his death, left unfinished. A letter found on the battle-field of the Seven Pines, from a wife to her husband in the Federal army, says, ‘"throw away your arms and come home, for the people here say there is no use in fighting the rebels any longer." ’ The hanging of Wm. B. Mumford in New Orleans, by Butter's order, for tearing down a Federal flag, raises the question of retaliation again. Somebody must hang for Mumford, the New Orleans martyr. The late freshet in Roanoke river, N. C., was very heavy and destructive. Apprehensions are felt of severe losses in crops, cattle, &c., in Halifax and Northampton counties. The Cincinnati Commercial calls the New York Tribune's information regarding Unionism in Texas, ‘"a cock and bull story."’ It is stated that Col. Graves, of the 8th Michigan regiment, was killed in the recent fight at Secessionville, S. C. Ample and well-arranged measures should be taken in season to procure a supply of fresh fruit and preserved vegetables for the use of our army. Mis. Mary C. Thorne, the last surviving witness of the execution of Major Andre, died in New York a few days since at the age of 92. Dr. George W. Ruffin, a well-known physician, died at his residence in Wilson county, N. C., on the 5th instant. The veteran soldier and patriot, General Twiggs, has taken up his residence near Augusta Georgia, the place of his nativity.
