Special Correspondence Of the Appeal
CAMP NEAR ABBRvLLE, Miss, Nov. %.
Your correspondent, after an absence of sew
eral weeks, has returned to his post, and hopes
to be able hereafter to keep you and your read
srs, posted upon such matters connected with
this army as it is proper to write about.
The principal subject of INTEREST," in this Vicin-
ity just now. is the recent court of inquiry
granted Con. Van Dsrn. Impressed with my
usual spirit Of don't-care- a-red-ativeness for the
opinions Of other people, l have even the To-
merity to say that 1 ana glad the whole affair
has resulted in the complete vindicssion of that
officer. He may command in some other local

not one of them), and the people generally,
will, of course, continue to stigmatize him with
such refined Appellstives as "one-hOrse" gem

doubt in the world Van Dorm will survive it.
Other people have lived in spite of such things.
1t is extremely difficult for your correspon-
dent to make out the exact plan Of the Yankee
campaign In its reference to our army, and he
won't try to do it. Bat whether the enemy
eome by this, that, or the other route, he will
get 8 Manassas welcome. We intend to hold
the ground we now occupy, or we will let that
ground hold cur dead bodies and Gen. Grant
would do well to consider that fact whilst on
his wsy southwark.
The intensely cold weather is upon us, but as
yet no rain has fallen worth the talking of. Our
troops are getting comfortably fxed up, and in
their nightly prayers for a fight do net forget to
add a petition that our enemies may come well
supplied with blankets. One good engagement
with the enemy would cause a transfer Of these
articles sufficiently large to blanketall our boys.
There is an evidence of three-cent meanness
exhibited By some of the people hereabout that
deserves notice. Whilst thousends of good men
from this and other States are suffering the hard,
ships Of soldier life to protect the property Of
these people, there seems to be settled determi-
nation to withhold all assistance to that end. In
the throwing up Of breastworks, for instance, if
Jon try to hire negro help you are almost inva-
risbIy met by some ipAlry excuse and nOw,

RUMORs OF CLARDEsFINR NEGO-
TEATEONg.

The New York Tribune, of the 18th, pub
fishes the following editoriGIly:
We sre informed that clsndestine negotiations
have been opened between certain Democratic
leaders il this city and the head traitors at Rich
mond, looking to q reconstruction on the follow
ing basis.
The States now in rebellion sre to elect mem
bers Of the present Congress who are to present
themselves at Washington and claim seats in
said Congress on or before the LIST day Of Janu-
airy next.
Seeond-Ths House being SO filed, viii at
ocace have q c~onjoint conservative and rebel ma
iority, who viii proceed to notify the President
that the rebellion is substantially ended that
the rebel States are all daily represented in the
House that consequently his proclamation Of
freedom is null and void, and they are fully under
the protection Of the Constitution.
Thir5-Congress thus reconstructed is to pro
coed forthwith to repeal all acts bearing hard
apon the traitors Of the FIRST two years, and to
pass such others as may be necessary 10 secure
perfect immunity and impunity to them.
Fourth-A convention Of the States is TO be
called whenever the united conservative Demo
cratic and rebel strength is enough to be over
whelmiDg, and is to be pledged beforehand to
make whatever changes in the Constitution the
slaveholding interests may deem essential to
their own future security and permanent well
being.
These are, IN substance, the conditions for

closing the door against further negotiations,
and according to our informant, : second en-
bassy from our conservatives is now in Rich
mond, or is well on its way thither hence We
may expect to hear further in s few days.
The above is probably a literary invention Of
the prolific editors Of the Tribune, as we find No
such intimsions in any Of cur northern er

Of them seem to consider the ideas worthy o.
consideration, az they simply copy the TnJ'cas'i
article without q word Of comment.
NAPOLEON wrote to bis brother, then King o
Spain, that peace was only = word, but
the conditions were everything" So viii say
the South, and she wiz also say the foregoing
are inadmissable. To propose them would b.
deemed an insult-their consideration could no.
be entertained a moment. The first propositions
ofihe " basis could not be complied with-and
never would be, even we're it possibility the

scheme. DESTROYS as we are to have peace, We
can only consent to secure it upon honorable
