WASHINGTON, March 81. An Intercepted
document addressed by Judah p. Ben amin, the
Confederate Secretary of State. to Hon. l.. ..
&. Lamar, the Confederate Commissioner at ST.
Petersburg, has lately come into the possession
OF our Government. 1t shows the prudent and
significant reserve which the Confederate author
tiles prescribe to themselves in refusing to enter
into any engagements with foreign nations not
to revive the African slave trade.
Mr.. Benjamin says Lamar is well aware
how firmly fixed in their constitution is the
policy of the Confederacy against the opening
of that trade, but we, he remarks, are informed
that false and nvidlous suggestions have been
made by the agents of the United States at
European Courts Of their intention to change
their constitution as soon as peace is restored,
and OF authorizing the importation of slaves
from Africa.
If therefore Mr. Lamar should find in his in
tercourse with the Cabinet, to which he is ac |
credited, that any such impressions are enter
tanned he must use every proper effort to remove
them and If any attempt is made to introduce
into any treaty which he may be charged with
negotiating any stipulation on the subject lust
mentioned, he will assume the position that the |
Constitution of the Confederate States is an
agreement made between independent States.
In other words no power is delegated to the
Confederate Government over this subject
In the course of his Instructions Mr.. Benia.
min says we trust that no unnecessary discus.
'lons on this matter will be introduced into
your negotiations. If, unfortunately, this re-
lance should prove Ill founded you will decline
continuing negotiations on your side aud trans
Ter them to Us at home, where, in such an
event, they could be conducted with greater IA.

FORTRESS MONROE, March 80. Refugees
from Rebellion and deserters from the rebel
army are almost daily coming in to our lines at
Suffolk and Yorktown, and giving themselves
up. Generally the deserters have their arms
and equipments with them. They report that
movements strongly indicate the early evacua-
ton of Richmond, though it is intended to be
accomplished by a slow and sure process. An
entire division Of the rebel army arrived IN
Richmond last Tuesday as is supposed to protect
the rebels from any attack that may be made
while the evacuation is taking place. The rob
els have already commenced to remove their
large guns and also the machinery from the ma
chine shops at Richmond to Chattanooga.

NEAR FREDERICKsBURG, Jan. ), 'G3.
My dear Uncle Dentler
Ia the late most desperate battle ever
fought in Virginia, received slight cut
across my head, and fell, but soon rose
upon my feet, took my gun, went at a
double quick into the ranks, and fought
with more courage than before. took it
calmly, not suffering myself to fall into a
fit of excitement. For three hours, We
stood and fought like tigers, the Rebel
balls flying abou. US like terrible hail
storm When came out of this bloody
battle field, | could not but think that
some Of you my dear friends at home had
been praying for me. | thank you for
the good advice you gave me. | know II
God is not with Us, We can not conquer.
| am ready and willing to meet the Rebel
fire on the field of battle again who may
fall. next time, can not tell: perhaps |
may be Que of them: if SO, | would say
farewell to you all
| would not complain about hardships
and suiferings. | will bear it all, cheer
fully, aud if need be will lay down my
life for my country.
My dear aunt and cousin. When |
came off the field from that battle near
Fredericksburg, | was quite hungry
and then thought Of the good things
you sent me: may the good Lord
bless you for you kindness Perhaps We
may have another biz fight, aud hope |
may keep my health to take part IN It,
Whether shall or shall not ever return
to my dear home, | eau not tell. Remem-
Der me in your prayers. Give my love to
all who may inquire after me- Please
send us the Lewisburg Chronicle, for we
prizs that SO highly, and love TO read 1t.
| must now stop writing for the present,
aud soon go on duty Iours,
