WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-TEe agony o
the Compromise, ,mougers is over The
Peace Conference has adjourned sine die
having adopted scheme of adjustment de-
vised by one Franklin of Pennsylvania
His proposal was voted on by sections, the
vote varying in each case On the princi
pal clause the vote was eight States in favor
of, and seven against it. New York wa:
divided. Indiana and Missouri refused tt
vote. Virginia and North Carolina votee
No. The scheme adopted, after so much
circuulocution, excludes the South from
territory north of $3.50, and establishe:
squatter sovereignty south of that line
There is but little doubt that Congress viii
reject the whole plan. The Virginia Com
missioners leave Immediately for Richmond
The great Lincoln Inauguration Ball ism
getting on quite as we'll as its projectors
hoped. The subscriptions are coming II
very slowly, ard from present appearances
the whole affair will be dead failure.
CONGRESSIONAL In the Senate, to-day
the Army Bill was passed.
A communication was received from tht
Peace Conference. 1t was referred to
Select Committee, with instructions to re
port tomorrow.
The Postal Revenue bill was reported.
The House adopted the two first resolu
tions reported by the Committee of Thirty
three, including the force clause.
The third was amended so as to proven
Congress from legislating on the subject o
slavery in the States. The subject was no
concluded.
WASHINGTON, February 2S.-The Bor
der States are now regarded as fixed. II
the House today, Stanton, of Ohio, the
author of the Force Bill, moved its recon
sideration, and advocated the motion in
willy speech.
He said that he aooua recognize the in
dependence Of the Confederate States
sooner than make acar Mpon them; tha
their object now should be to keep the Bor
der States in the Union, and that the Re
publican party ought to make sacrifices tt
retain them.
Corwin's pacifcation report was then ia
ken up, and passed by two.thirds vote
The Senate, however, will reject it, ant
will pass Stewards resolution calling gen
eral Copventinn. This will then be passet
by the House, as it is understood that Lin
coin favors it. People here are getting yer,
anxious for compromise. When Corwin'
plan was carried in the House today, there
was the most tumultuous applause in tn
Hall, from the floor and the galleries.
The War Department to-day received
dispatches from Major Anderson, in which
he fatty contradicts the absurd report
started by Charleston paper, to the etfec
that be was i'll. He declares that be n '
er was 10 better health, and processes to b'
ready for any emergency that may arise
Speaking of the battery on the sandhills o
Cummings Point, he says that the work
still rapidly progressing, but that when tn
occasion requires it, he can, in very fe'
minutes, with his heavy guns, sweep ava
the bomb-proof battery on the Point.
Both Houses of Congress to day rathe
snubbed the elaborate arrangement whic
the fossils of the Peace Conference hav
been so long patching up. The majorlt
of the Abolitionists are now acting on tn
principle that bird in the hand is wort
two in the bush. They say that the Cotto
States may 60 out and stay out, provide
they can keep their grip firmly upon tn
Old Dominion.

desperate. 1t is understood tonight tha
Chase and Cameron are for peace. Bot

He was very prodigal in his blessings, free
ly promising peace, happiness and equ'
rights.

to talk calmly Of the Southern Confederac.
and to view it as great reality. Neve
theless, large majority of them are f'

Lincoln is evidently backing down sine
his arrival here.
The Treasury is suffering to DAY und'
