THE LAST COMMUNICATIONS.
There is much speculation Is to the object of
tic mission of Lieut.. Hall and Col. Hayne. re-
sTectiyey representing Major Anderson aud Gov.
Pichcns, and the occasion of the visit, under
flag of truce, TO Fort Sumter by two Of Gov.
Pickeus's so-called Cabinet, which induced it.

ticn for the Outrage against the Star Of the
| West and sought this mode Of eHecting some ad.
| justment.

anxious TO catch every word As whole, this
effort produced soothing and seryiceable effect,

| North or South. Dir. Seward intended TO be
| concillatory and be succeeded, even at q per-
| sonal sacrifice Of estimation by some Of those

without condition. Several passages produced
much impression on the feelings Of the immense
| audience. and very visible emotion. Parts Of tho
| speech contained fine specimens Of high oratOry.
| The middle and conservative interests accepted
| H as an omen Of peace, and were uuresryed in
| their expressions of appreciation. 1t viii proba-
| by receive a wider circulation than any speech
| ever delivered here.
