following extracts from a letter
written by Northerner sojourn-'

! his statements may be taken with
out MANY grains of salt. Here is
the extract:

that by the close of navisa-
Ition there would be an addition to
the army in Canada In the
spring a large fleet was to be sent
over. From what / can learn,
England has for a long time inten-
ided to raise the blockade and take
the cotton out. Then the inten-
ition was to seize Maine. Fer my

Mrs. Polk and the FederaIs.

The Nashville correspondent of
the New York Times gives a'pie-
ture of the state Of affairs at that
place, from which It appears that
the Federals werenOt received with
any great amoent Of cordiality.
Of the interview between General
Grant and his staff and Mrs. James
X. Polk, the writcrvays:
She received her visitors coufte-
ously, but with polished cold
ness that indicated sufficiently in
which direction her sympathies
ran; she was simply POLITE and Ia.
d, like; in no case patriotic. While
she disereetly forbore to give ut.
terance to any expression of sym.
pathy for the South, she as rigidly
avoided saying anything tina,
might be construed into a wish
for the success Of the Government
She hoped, she said, that the toni
of her husband would protect hel
household from insult and hel
property from piliage; further thar
this she expected nothing from
the United States, and desired
nothing.
The correspondent finds thai
"the ladies Of Nashville are al
full of treason as they are in coca
sional cases of loneliness" Among
the evidences of their contempt fJl
the Yankees, the follow ing is Civ

only the two one hundred and

FROM WHEELING,

WHKELIxG, Jan. ~.
In the Convention, to-day, Mr.. Battelle, OF
Ohio county, offered the following PROPOSE
tions relative to slavery ia the new State
No slave shall be brought into the State
for permanent residence after the adoption
this Constitution. All children born of
slave parents in this State on and after the
4th Of July, 1865 shall be free, and the
Legislature may provide by general laws for
the apprenticeship Of such children during
minority, and for subsequent colonization.
The above proposition was referred to the
Committee on General Provisions, which
probably will report some time this week
It is not expected the Committee will report
any provision Of the above character, the
majority being sverse to the consideration
Of the slavery question; but whenever that
Committee make their report q proposition
embOdying sentiments of Free State men
will be brought forward, and will be, from
the present indications, iercely contested.
