A Remarkable Conversation.

Under the above heading the New York
Journal Of Commerce publishes the follow
ing extract from private letter received
by gentleman of that city from reliable
source, which it was permitted to copy.
The conversation to which it refers has al.
ready been published in our paper, but
without allusion to the incident mentioned
below
CAIRO, November Al think wrote
you about the battle below. 1t was q
grand and fearful sight, which / shall never
forget. Yesterday | went down with flag
of truce to return some prisoners. q We
were met very cordially. General Polk
himself came on board. He is fine type
OF the old fashioned gentleman courteous
and polite. / know several of the persons
with him. They are all as firm and conf
dent as they possibly Can behave not the
faintest idea Of giving up. Ir- 3.
One thing surprised me. and that was
to hear General say, that he did not be-.
lieve in the right OF secession, and did not
shield himself under that; that they were
| rebels, and he gloried in the name. But,
said he, let your man Lincoln come out and
say that the Died Scott Decision is right,
and that the South shall have equal rights
| in the Territories-in other words, that the
old Democratic view of the Constitution
shall be fully established, and they would
| lay down their arms and return to their
homes. Otherwise they will fight until the
last man and woman is under the sod.
We parted with great cordially, all
wishing soon to meet, that the great ques-
tion of difference might be removed, and
we all be brothers, as of old. They want
to fight, and that soon, and they will fight
hard

buyers Of all kinds Of manufactured goods.
Their pnesaits, soil, climate, and pfoduc'
ton, are totally different from those Of thu
! North. They think il their interest to buJ
where they can buy cheapest. and to sell
where they can sell dearest. In all this the
North differs toto COLO from them, and nou
makes war upon us to enforce the supremacy
of their mistaken ideas and setfSnterest.
iHear, hear, and Cheers.) In defense oil
their liberties and sovereign independence,
the Confederate States and people are
united and resolute. They are invaded by q
power numbering 10000, 900, yet for eight
months has the Confederate government
successfully resisted-aye, repelled-that
invasion, along military frontier of l 900
miles. Though cut off by blockade from all
foreign trade, their internal resources have
been adequate to the equipment and main
tenance in the field OF an army Of over
100000 troops. Can all this be, and yet
these 100000 Of whites be divided. The
idea is prep0sterous. So much has been
said about our efforts to obtain foreign in,
tervention, that may be allowed to declare
emphatically that the Confederate States
haze neither sought or desired 1T. They can
maintain their independence intact By their
oaon strength. As to their recognition by
the powers of the world, that of course
they desire. They are people, nation,
exhibiting elements of power which few
States of the world possess. But they
have no reason to complain, nor do they
feel aggrieved because those great powers
see fit for season to defer their formal re.
cogniti0n and reception into the family of
nations However they may differ from
them as to the period when their recognition
shall take place, they fully understand that
such action is a question 10 be determined by
those countries each for itself and Nth REFER
e'ace 10 its osos, interests and viea1s Of public
policy. Other nations having trading re-
iatiOns with US have quite as much interest
to send ministers and consuls to rs as we
have to send such representatives to them.
(Hear, hear.) Why, then shall there not
be peace? Simply because the North in
its pride will not admit that to be a fact
fat accomp& which old England toll
lowed by the first Powers of Europe, has
recognized, and which the confederate gov
eminent and armies have repeatedly dem
onstrated to be stern and bloody fact
the fact that we are beigerent Power
There can be no basis for negotiations or
for peace proposals, or consultations so
long as the Confederates are deemed
to be and are treated as rebels. (Hear.)
But when our adversary shall become
sufficiently calm to treat as as q bel.
hgeramt Poaoer, the morning of peace s0it
darn IN the horizon. When that hour shall
arrive think l may say the Confederate
government will be infexible upon one
point Only-its honor and its independence
For the great interests of peace and human
ity it will yield much that is merely mates
rial or of secondary Importance. (Yancey

'meA Confederate Captain has written With
in this month, from the army of the Poto@
mac TO friends 10 East Tennessee, that Of
his company, originally ninety -seven men,
only eight we're fit to 60 in the field. The
whole Confederate force in Virginia lie less
than one hundred and forty thousand effec@
tive men. The army in front of Washing-
ton is les than ninety thousand men.
The rebeL armies in Kentucky, under
johnson, Buckner and Polk, do not count
forty thousand fighting men. The army on
Green River, in front of McCook, is only
fifteen thousand strong. The rebel leaders
at Nashville are trembling with apprehen.
sion, and it is believed throughout the South
that q majority of the people of New Or.
leans would rejoice at the approach of an
Hnion army. 4f,t1lf 5a
The blockade is terribly effective. The
fact is confessed, and famine and panic pri-
ccs prevail. The wealthiestl families of the
South are living meanIy, and apologize to
their visitors for the meagreness of their
fare. The Union men rejoice in the pri-
vations incident to the blockade, and com
fort themselves by the consideration that
the secessionists are the greatest sufferers.
The tightness of the blockade, and the con-
slant gathering of the armies Of the Union,
the now admitted courage of the Northern
troops, the failure of England and France
to recognize the supremacy of cotton, the
money resources of the Federal Govern
ment, which seem inexhaustible, are having
their effect even upon the most reckless of
the conspirators. Nothing but the pres
tige of few successes, immensely magni-
fed by systematic lying, has kept the reb-
els 10 hart up to this time. Much dissat-
isfaction with the Richmond Government
is felt. 1t is denounced on every side as
distinguished by imbeclity and tavoritism,
in a style compared with which the criti-
cisms on the legitimate Government by the
Northern journals are moderate. With
good management, the war may be closed
before the first anniversary of the lombard
ment OF Sumter. a3F

For some weeks it has been whispered
that the Navy Department was preparing
a feet of vessels, stone laden, to be sunk in
one or perhaps several harbors on the south
ern coast. The feet sailed on the Goth in.
slant, and we give below list of the vessels
composing it, with their tonnage. They
are all but substantial whaling vessels,
double-decked to give them greater firmness.
They were stripped of their copper and
other fitting which were not necessary for
so short a voyage as they will make, and
loadedswith picked stone as deeply as was
safe.
In the bottom of each ship hole was
bored, into which was fitted lead pipe FIVE
inches in diameter, with valve so fixed
that though perfectly safe even for a long
voyage, it can be very quickly removed. 1t
is calculated that the ship will be filed and
sunk to the bottom in twenty minutes after
the removal of this valve
To provide against accidental jamming of
the valves, each vessel is furnished with two
dugurs Of the proper size
Inc crews consisted OF SIX men eacn :.
These will be returned by the men of-war
who will assist in the work of sinking. Each
ship will be anchored in the place chosen
for Der, and will then be sprung round
oroadside to the channel, thus effecting as
great stoppage as possible. When this
is done, and she is 10 position, the valve
will be withdrawn, and when the vessel is
nearly level with the waters edge, the men
will leave in small boat. 1t is reported
that an enterprising rigger has gone down
with the feet, with the intention to take off
what pieces of spar and rigging may re-
main above the waters edge alter the ships
have sunk. a A
The captains of the ships are all well
acquainted with our coast, first rate seamen
and good pilots. Each captain received on
the day be sailed sealed orders, not to be
opened until after the pilot left bis vessel.

orders. Ii the blanks were filled, the enc

The Escape of General Floyd.

The correspondent OF the World gives
the following account of the final escape of
Gen. Floyd, and of the death of rebel
officer:
Floyd found himself hard pressed and
was obliged to fall back gradually from all
his positions, except Cotton Hill, near the
junction OF the three rivers. Here be be-
came rapidly hemmed in, until the night of
the 10th, when be took advantage of the
darkness 10 escape, and with so much
adr0itness that it was not Immediately
known. He was, however, followed to
Fayetteville and thirty miles beyond, where
one regiment was Overtaken. Our brigade
opened the action upon them with great
spirit, and the rebels again fled in the great
est confusion Only one officer attempted
to turn them to the conflict. He displayed
great courage in endeavOring to rally his
retreating men, and attracted the admira-
tiOn of our entire troops. While our bull
lets fell thick around them as we advanced
at quick step, he was in the very rear of
bis regiment cheering his men, and vainly
trying to turn them to face US. They fed,
but he refused to follow them, and fell in
his place before we reached the ground.
He was not Immediately killed, but his
wounds were fatal. He represented him.
self to Gen. Benham as Col. CrOghan, son
OF United States navy officer of Pennsyl-
vania, who, IN our last war with England,
distinguished himself in the defence OF
western post against the combined attack OF
large force OF British and Indians. Gen.
Benham colversed with him, received his
last wishes, and placed him in care of the
brigade surgeon, but he died On the evening
of the l4th. s
Gen. Benham was within three miles of
Floyd's army when the order came, giving
his command to Gen. Schsnck, OF Vienna
renown, and The brigade was ordered back
to more retired position. His troops,
who repose the greatest confidence in his
prudence and energy, manifested great res
greet, but obeyed like soldiers. Gen. Ben
ham resigned his command to Schenck,
who Immediately withdrew the brigade to
more retired position. Thus, for the
present, we are again in Statu quo The
soldiers here look upon Gen. Benham as
the " coming man" Of this war. He is a
brusque, imperative, and rather overbear
ing man with his equals and superiors, but
his rapidly of movement, fertility OF re
source, and consummate military capacity,
is recognized by the rank and file, with
whom be is wonderfully popular EssR
The Wheeling lnteIligencer says 1t is
somewhat singular that with but two ex-
ceptions, in every success we have had in
Western Virginia, our men have been led
by Gen. iBenham. He has just returned
to Gauley from the pursuit of Floyd, whom
be fol owed closely for thirty~seven miles.
Floyd was not bagged, but he was driven
iDgloriously from Western Virginia The
troops at Gauiey are now clamorous to be
sent into Kentucky, to bear band In the
great advance down the river. ~ tessA
