We yesterday received the following dispatch
from Major General Butler:
FoRr MONROE, Deo. l3, 1863
Mr.. c. C. Fnlton;
Please give imm edate public notice that the
Confederate authorities decline receiving any
more packages or provisions for the Union
prisoners, so that parties interested may refrain
from orwardiDg any more goods to this point.
BsNJ. F. BUTLER,
Major General Commanding.
The Rev. Mr.. Terrence also returned to Bal
timors yesterday from his visit to City Point
with DR., Clement c. Barclay, having had an
interview with the Richmond authorities In
relation TO their proposed visit to Richmond
Mr.. Torreuce states that on reaching City Point
he communicated with Richmond, and had
long and very pleasant conference with capt
Hatch, who was sent down by Commissioner
Ould to confer with him. He was Informed
that his proposition could not now be enter
tanned ut the authorities had just Issued orders
TO decline receiving any more provisions either
from the Government or from the friends Of
the prisoners for their use.
The cause OF their refusal he alleged 10 be the
accusations made by the Federal authorities,
and the press OF the North, That they had not
been fairly and honOrably delivered by the au-
thurtics at Richmond, which he pronounced To
be untrue, impeaching their honor to an ex-
tent which had brought pressure on tho gov
ernmrut to stop receiving any more supplies
Mr.. Terrence represents Capt Hatch to be a
gentleman of the most urbane aud courteous
manners, who regretted that the war had de-
generated to one OF SO much vindictiveness
and who assured him on his personal honol
that great INJUSTICE had been done TO the au
thorites at Richmond by some of our returned
prisoners, as well as by Gen. Hitchcock In hii
statements, and by the Northern press.
Mr.. Terrence was further assured that II any
change should at any time be made in the ordv
of the Government, aud 1t should be deter
mined 10 permit renewal of the forw ardIng o
supplies, and the presence Of an agent, that b,

ing strong picture of the most shameless

try, Fernando Wood:
Wood is a man Of considerable talent
He is q prosy, mOnotonous speaker, tire
some to degree; but his speeches read
well in print. He is tall and slightly
built-preserved with the aid Of q barber,
and well-oiled wig. He dresses in black,
his suriout buttoned closely, and his rul-
ing weakness is an imaginary likeness to
Henry Clay. His features are well cut.
but his face is hard and severe. His smile
IS positively unpleasant-its meagreness
and studied effect being palpable He puts
one in mind of Mr.. DOmbey-indeed, no
actor could better delineate that character
than by studying and initiating the man
ner Of Mr.. Wood. He is coldly polite to
every body-friend or foe. He looks as if
he "could smile and murder while he
