The Haleigh lltghler (rebel prim) in referring to this extra session, says there is misehiel brewing which " bodes no irood" to the confederate cause, mid the history of that legislature does not war rant us in anticipating uryihiug but mis chief at its bunds.

Chicago, 20th. Later details of the Union movement now progressing iu North Carolina have been received by way of Fortress Monroe. The dissatisfaction with thu rebel Government is increasing daily, and overtures to Major Geo. Foster in crease in boldness. Not long since the Ividcigli Slttiitliml contained an able article, believed to have been written by r. A. Graham, taking the strongest grounds ugaitist the right of secession and advoca ting tho duty of tho Federal Government to defend its own existence by force when secession threatens it. The artielu denies that any just cause exists for tliu present rebellion, and asserts that any Statu now claimed us belonging to tho so-called Con federacy can withdraw from it at will. The same paper, in another article, openly favors peace by reconstructing the Union, or by seperating, if resolved upon by a Convention of nil tho Slates. The Stnwl nnl also congratulates Itev. H. W. Graves, on his acquittal on thu charge of treason, nnd republishes with commendation an ar ticle which was made a pretext for ids ar rest by the rebel authorities. New York, 11th.

Gener als Grant mid Pembertoii hud an interview yesterday afternoon. The lat note of Peinbcrton, accepting the prollercd terms' of Grunt, was tint received till nine o'clock A. M. today, when Gen. Mel'hurson re ceived the lormal surrender of the city. Thu terms allow the officers mid men to Iu paroled here the former to ictain their side in mis, horses and personal property. They will be escorted beyond our lines and furnished with three days' rations from our stores. Gen. Logan's division marched in to the city nt eleven, mid at noon Lieut. Col.

Wu have taken over twenty-seven thousand prisoners, besides four thousand nou-com-imtutits, onu hundred and two field pieces, thirty siege gnus, fifty thousand stand of arms, ammunition, locomotives and cars, a few stores, eighty-seven Btands of colors. Among the prisoners arc Lieut. Gen. Pent berlon, Maj. Generals Stevenson. Smith, Forney mid Drown, fourteen Itrignilieis mid about one. hundred mid thirty Colonels. There nre fifty-six hundred men in the hos pital, half of whom arc wounded. Only fifteen tlmus-ind of the garrison me report ed able for duty. Their provision was al most exhausted, and for four days they hail been eating mule llesh. Of ammunition for heavy guns they Inula fair supply, but of field uminnnilon they were short. Light caps to a man was nil they had left. Sugar, molases mid rice were till they had of sup plies with u little uugroitnd corn. Thu capitulation was caused by destitution, physical prostration, hastened perhaps by lliu expectation that our forces would storm the works today. It is admit led by all that thu rebels made a gallant defense, mid the terms nre understood to menu a compliment, by Gen. Grant to their bra very. Vicksliurg wuh much damaged by shells hardly a house, escaping damage. Our troops treated the lute enemy with great friendliness. On both sides there is a feeling of great relief from tho severe hardship and suffering of the siege. Thu Fourth of July has never been celebrated so strongly and earnestly. Viekshurg. f)th. Yesterday nnd to-day all passed oil' wilh remarkably quiet and good feeling. Thu weather is fearfully warm. Nineteen General officers have been paroled. Two or three days will rmss be fore thu prisoners are scut out to their dis tillation which is reported tohuTuladcga, (A'u.) Many of them uru anxious not to be paroled, but wish to take the oath of alle giance, quit the rebel service and proceed North. Several women and children wero killed mid injured during the siege. Hun dreds of houses occupied by tho side and wounded had been constantly exposed to shells. About 'J,")00 persons have been killed inside tho works since the siego be gan. The labor performed on tho fortifi cations by both sides is prodigious. The weight of our artillery has knocked most ot their works to nudist iiigiii.-hablu pieces. There were about 1.1100 women nnd chil dren iu I Iio city during the bombardment, who wero for the most part of tho time ob liged to live in caves, of which there nre several hundred.
