Ny Dear F'-iend-Knowing that have in some
degree inoculated you with the fire for military
glory that has burned so furiousy in my bosom of
late, ard ardenty desiring to see you distinguish
yourself in the corps to which you have just at
tached yourself, have ventured to string together
few hints-the result of veterans experience
some of which, am vain enough to believe, you
will not find altogether valueless l have also Sc
lected some portions of the manual OF arms which,
I fatter myself, have placed more strikingy be-
fore the pupil than has been done by Lieutenant
Colonel Hardee. Allow me, beloved Brown, to
offer you these " Hints " as a small token Of my
esteem and Affection and should you, by their peru
sal and study, become qualified to lead the armies
of the Southern Confederacy to victory, in your
hour of triumph remember,
Your humble and devoted friend,

APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE BLACK TO THE SUPREME
CoURT.- Washington Feb. 8, ls6l.-The Senate is
at a deadlock on the question of confirming MFR.
Secretary Black as Judge of the United States Su-
preme Court. There are twenty-six Republicans
and twenty-eight opposition. Ii all the Republic
cans should vote against Mr.. Black, he would not
be confirmed, as Judge Douglas and Mr.. Pugh are
also opposed to him. This fact has not been ascer-
tanned by any vote, bat by a canvass, and it is a
question with many Republicans whether they had
not better vote to confirm the nomination Of Mr..
Black rather than risk a worse man. as Douglas
and Pngh will not agree to oppose any other nomi-
nation that might be made by Mr.. Buchanan. The
Massachusetts, delegation to the Peace Congress
called upon Gen. Scott to-day, and was received
by him with many kind expressions. The General
does not forgetthe handsome vote that the Old Bay
State gave him when he candidate for the
Presidency. The delegation assured him that Mas
sachusetts would sustain him with her men and
treasure as long he carries the flag and g keeps
step to the music of the Union.'' The same dele
CATION called this evening upon Mr.. Buchanan.

COLONEL FonNEY writes from Washing
ton to the Philadelphia Press in hopeful
spirit. He says:
~ am neither prophet nor the son OF
IL prophet, but think We are on the road
to an honorable and lasting peace. 1t will
be a conquered peace--a peace won at the
canuou's mouth, scaled with the blood of
traitors and established upon the old con-
stitution, to last, let US hope, through en-
during generations. There is one subject
upon which loyal men may freely write.
and that is the approaching overthrow of
the Southern despotism, aud, by conse-
qucncc, the proclamation of enduring
peace. II is true we must reach the cnd
through war and carnage and death. But
Il will reach it, When General McCleI-
len encounters General Beauregard he will
nnuibilate him and will compel surren-
der that will be followed, predict, byn
perpetual peace. This is bold language,
but am willing to stake my reputation
upoO it,"

Analrs in North COrolInO.

The correspondent of the New York
Tribune has had an interview with some of
the fugitivcs who came up from the coast
OF North Carolina to Fortress Monroe in
the steamer Geo. Peabody. He says:
sit is the testimony of the fugitives,
who are intelligent and observing persons,
that within the circle of their acquaintance
ut least two-thirds of the people are at
heart for the Union, and would so declare
themselves If they dared that the Federal
forces and runboats would be welcomed
us deIlvererS, and that their appearance
and the assurance of protection would he
followed by general tiocking of the pco-
ple TO the standard of the Union. The
politicians are the secession leaders, and
have succeeded in overawing the people,
who are generally in moderate circumstan-
ces. The fugitives have not heard of any
election of members of Congress or of
Uuion leagues, though the mass of the
people are for the Union. The rebels sup
posed that HATTIE as was impregnable, and
the capture of the forts has struck them
with terror and shaken their faith i'm
mensely.y
fThe fhgitives represent that there is
bit very little money in circulation, and
provisions very scarce. Flour is not to
be had ut any price; pork is $40 per bar
rel: boots, shoes, and cotton cloth, there
are none for sale. There is plenty of
wheat and corn, but there are but few
mills; wheat is 60c and corn soc per BUSH
ell bacon is very scarce, sugar very high,
and the chief article OF subsistence is corn
meal. This is the condition in which the
whole community is placed, and under the
