STATEMENTS CORRECTED.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 29.-In order to correct
erroneous statements, it is proper to say, first,
that permits or licenses for trade in blockaded
ports have not been granted. The only per.
Eaits are those granted on the recommendation
of the war department for supplies, alike to
suffers stores and to the troops occupying
military positions in the southern states This
correction is made at the instance of friendly
foreign minister who thinks the current state
ments likely to misead European mer-
chants and their governments.
Second, Mr.. Cameron has not received his
definite Instructions, and is not contemplating
an immediate departure on his mission. No
new secretary has been appointed. Green
Clay, appointed with Cassius M Clay, still
retains his place, although he is on leave Of
absence holding command in BuePs army
in Tennessee.
Third, neither Jefferson Davis nor any other
person has made any communication TO the
government, concerning terms of submission
or compromise. The flag of truce sometime
ago sent by Gen. Johnston TO Gen. Mcclellan,
as also Howell Cobb's appearance at fortress
Monroe, related only to an exchange of pris.
0ners.
The above facts are derived from the best
sources Of information.

The Rebels Leaving Columbus.


Important From East Tennessee
CAIRO, Feb. 28.-We learn from a gentle
man thoroughly conversant with Kentucky
affairs that the rebels are dismountng their
large guns at Columbus, and that the work of
evacuation is now going on. Several trans.
ports are lying at Columbus to carry off
the troops. Every man coming into CoIum.

Several hundred negroes were sent into the
interior yesterday. This is from reliable
source.
The rebel war department has called on
Tennessee tor thirty two regiments. An Off

an ample force will advance from Richmond
to protect east Tennessee. Gov. Harris has
taken the field in person.

unlounded. He left Corinth for Columbus on
the 18th. The Memphis Avalanche of The

no doubt OF his ability to enter Nashville
