Important Information.

We are indebted to Gov. Vance for the following
correspondence between Hon. W. N. H. Smith and
Commissioner Ould, which contains important in
formation for some of our citizens:-
RICHMOND, March 80 1868.
Hon. r. Ouu, Commissioner, dc.
DEAR SIR:-Many citizens of parts of my district
beyond the lines of our army who have not been in
the military service of the Confederate or State gov
ernment have, at different times, been arrested by
the enemy.
They have been discharged from Imprisonment
only on condition of their taking oath Of neu-
trality This oath binds such take it. not to CON-
init any act of hostility the United States nor 10
aid their enemies so long the U. S. forces occupy
the particular locality where the party is resident
In some Instances the obligation has been imposed
20 the extent that the person arrested and held,
will commit no hostile act nor aid the enemies of
the United States during the pending war.
May | ask whether the recent agreement between
yourselfand Commissioner Ludlow, discharges these
obligations when entered into?
Most respectfully,
W. N. II. SMITH.

Charleston and other Points.

The enemy has made his naval demonstration on
Charleston, and thus far this demonstration has
failed Some of the most formidable war vessels
| of modern times have been repulsed by the strong
and well-worked batteries at Charleston. Inc
enemy is supposed to have retired, with what view
is not known. The attack may have been intended
only to get the range of guns and to test their
strength. 1t is hardly possible that the enemy will
retire for good, and make regular and systematic
attack, after the great preparations he has made.
We may look, therefore, for a prolonged and dcs-
perate conflict both by land and water. The forces
of the enemy atand near Charleston are estimated,
from the number of his transports at fifty to sixty
thousand men. 1t is moro than probable that an
attempt will be made to land these forces in con-
cert with another naval attack. We have great
confidence in the of our troops, in the strength
of our defeuces, and in tie generalship Of Beau
regard.
1t is rumored that more troops have been ordered
to Charleston. This rumor, if true, shows that a
land attack is expected.
We have nothing new from the Rappahannock,
but o movement in that quarter may be expected
soon. Our troops said to be in good condition,
and ready for the conflict
Our main lines of Communication through the
interior still safe. Their efficiency it is true, is
impaired by the heavy work which they are re-
quired to do, and by the want to some extent OF
materials for repair; but by good management they
will still be able, for months to come, to answer all
purposes of transportation which are indispensable
to the government and people
All is quiet on our SeabVard, with the exception
Of Washington. Gen. Hill, it is said has completely
invested the place. and its fall is daily expected
The troops of the enemy there, it is supposed, num-
Der about 1900. All communication with Newbern
is said to have been cut off b. water and it is hard
ly probable that the enemy will attempt to aSsa
Gen. Hill IN rear by land. This, we presume, is
just what he wants. We have runor that Gen.
LOngstreet is menacing Suffolk. This will hold the
enemy in check in that quarter, and prevent the
sending of reinforcementS IN aid of Washington by
the Roanoke. Gen. Hill may be reduced to the ne
ceSsity of taking Washington by storm. No doubt
it could be easily done by the bayonet With the
force which he has but he is anxious We suppose
to avoid this if possible account Of the non COM
batants whom the enemy has refused to remove.
The spring campaign, thus far. has not opened to
the advantage of the enemy. We have much to
cheer US, far the courage and conStancy Of our
troops concerned. Let those at home make
bread and carefully develop and husband every re-
source, while our officers and men are planning and
executing for US in the field. The enemy cannot
whip US, but he may starve US out. Let all Of us
remember that, and act accordingly.

Confederate CouRre,s,

We are glad that the House Of Representatives
has rejected the bill to provide for the election Of
members of Congress by the general ticket. The
district system Is the true enc. All the States have
adopted X, and the attempt to change it is another
evidence of the tendency to consolidation.
The two Houses have passed a bill exempting
mail contractors from military service.
The House has concurred with the Senate in abol-
ishing all ports of entry in the Confederate States.
The House has postponed the Supreme Court bill
until next session.
a bill has been reported in the Honse from the
judiciary committee, authorizing the President to
suspend the writ of kd6eds corpus.

The MISSISSIPPI RIVERA writer referring to the
vasness of the Mississippi river says: 1t extends
8, 100 miles, from tire frozen regions of the north
to the sunny south, and with the Missouri river, is
1900 miles in length. 1t would reach from New
York across the Atlantic ocean. or from France to
turkey and the Caspian sea. Its average depth Is
oo ieet and its width half mile. The foods are
moro than month travelling from its source to its
delta The trappers can exchange the furs of an
lmals caught by them on the upper Mississippi for
the tropical fruits gathered on the banks below.
lhe total value Of steamers ahoat on the river and
1ts tributaries is than $60 OO0 OOO numbering
l,6OO boats, more than twice the steamboat tonnage
OF England. 1t drains area of 1,200, 600 square
miles, and washes twelve. powerful States In one
single reservoir at Lake Pepin, between Wisconsin
and Minnesota, $500 miles from the sea, the navies
OF the world might safely ride at anchor.

Gov VANcGs ADDREss-The press Of North
Carolina, with solitary exception, far We have
seen, earnestly seconds the appeal of Gov. Vance
TO the planters to refrain from culivang cotton and
tobacco The dissenting paper is che organ of the
still born party Fayetteville Observer.
The paper referred to by the Obse has its main
circulation which by the way is small, in cotton
and tobacco growing Counties. Many of its readers
and patrons, who Destructives smplate put
ting in large crops Of these staples and prepar
ing to make money without regard to the cause and
hence the indispositon of that journal to second the
appeal of Gov Vance. We have made dilig ent in
quiry of late on the subject, and we find that nine
tenths of those who intend to make large crops OF
tobacco are Destructives.

THE limited STATES.

The Rhode Island election has gone against the
Peace Democrats" on which the New York Her
all thus comments:
TIE Rhode Island election has fallen like wet
blanket on the Copperheads. They were warned
t1y New Hampshire that they were playing des-
peratc game. They were prepared for close con-
test and perhaps drawn battle ip Rhode Island
but the results of the late election there have utter
ly confounded all their calculations. That elec-
tion-in its results perfectly consistent with the
suits Of the Northern elections of last October and
ACCOMPLISHMENTS another POPULAR reaction in be-
half of more vigorous and decisive prosecution of
the war; and against disturbing political factions
and there is no reason to doubt that the voice Of
the people Of Rhode Island will be the voice of the
people of Connecticut in their State election on
Monday next We think we cannot be mistaken
in the conclusion that the popular verdict from
Rhode Island against this impracticable and Ievo-
lutionary peace programme Of the CoppeTheads is
but the Out-croppng, in a small corner, of solid
formation of public opno underlying all the loyal
States.
The real conservative sentiment Of the whole
country has Just disclosed itself in this Rhode Island
election 1t means earnest active, Overw helmlng
prosecution Of the war until the armed forces Cf TIE
rebellion are put down it means that the people
of the loyal States intend to support the measul es
of Congress passed TO enable the administration to
crush the rebellion it means that there shall 6e
no intervention, no mediation armiStIce, con.
vention, short of the subugatiOn of the rebellion.
The rebel chiefs, themselves, have de6antly an
nounce6 this as their ultimdtun, to-wit: That this
issue between them and the supporters of the Union
must be settled by the sword and the people of the
loyal States have simply resolved that it shall be so
settled, inasmuch it can be settled in no other
Way
