WASHINGTON. Feb. 24.-Narious amend
meuts are yet to be voted on by the Peace
Conference.
Dnriug last nights session they agreed to
the first branch Of the pending proposition
prohibiting slavery north OF 90 deg. 30 min,
aud recognizing the status Of slavery south Of
tbnt line.
The States formed out oS the territory to
be admitted with or without slavery, as their
roepective constitutions may prescribe. This
received n decided affirmative vote. Some Of
'bo Commissioners who opposed the propo.
sltion, confidently assert that, with several
exceptions, this is satisfactory to oil Of the
Border States. The probability now is that
they will not complete their labors before
Tuesday.
Yesterday four Commissioners were re-.
ccived from the State OF Kansas. The
deliberations of the Conference have, il is
represented, beeu characterized by dignity,
ability and candor, while proper respect
has been shown TO conflicting views.
Alter the Adjournment las. night, the
Commissioners had brief but pleasant inter
view with the President elect, whose presence
in Washington. some Of them say. has already
produced q good effect in political circles.

reported, and generally believed, that most
of these agents have claimed exemptions not

young men,-unmarried men, if you please

to be no possible way of repaying, perhaps
for years. Indeed, som. gentlemen were SO

as it may be considered necessary to serve
the purposes of the Government or our peo-

rank and file of the different regiments should
be seen to as soon as possible. The poor fei-
lows are almost earnestly devoted to the best
interests of their country, and are suffering
much from want of proper clothing or any
changes of under garments. Many are with
out Shoes coats and bed covering, which is
cherries prospect, with the near approach of
cold weather; and, above all things, their
poor families, in many cases, must certainly
suffer from want of the assistance they could
render if at liberty, and many are OF the
three months volunteers, who made no pro-
vision for absence beyond that time, and
whose future welfare depends upon their re-
turn at the very earliest period.
