Desperate Condition of the Rebels--A Pow
erful Ram on the Way 70 Reinforce
Admiral Porter's Fleet.
NEW YORK, March IL.
A Nassau letter says: If the government
could only be persuaded of facts which are
developed here daily (see the letters from the
Southern States and hear the remarks that
are dropped by the rebels fresh from "Dixie,")
they would appreciate the deplorable state the
poor wretches are in, and be convinced that
an energetic and properly conducted move in
almost any direction, would suppress the re-
bellion.
A Memphis letter to the Times, dated LIST
inst, states:
The ram Lafayette passed down the river
last night at 10 o'clock, bound to vicksburg.
Admiral Porter needs the Lafayette and all
other effective vessels that can be sent to him
at this time. The Lafayette will be uncom-
Portable to deal with, II her crew are equal to
her armament and other fighting qualities.
Fernando Wood Publicly Counsels Resist
ance to the Conscription Act.
NEW YORK, March IL.
At meeting In Stamford, Conn.,, last even
ing, Fernando Wood enunciated the following:
The war was uncalled for. He declared the
CONSUMPTION act unconstitutional, and were he
elected Governor of Connecticut, not man
should be forced from the State by this act,
without walking over his dead body, and he
was satisfied that Seymour their candidate)
entertained the same view. He considered it
their duty TO stand by and elect him.
Furthermore, he said that on the 18th day
Of last December propositions for an arinistice
or peace were left in the hands of the Presi-
dent, which, had they been adopted, would
have settled this matter by the first Of April
amicably and to the satisfaction of the people
both North and South.
The propositions he was bound to withhold
from the public.
The Roads in Virginia Again Impossible -
Enthusiasm for the Union in Germany.
New YORK, March IL.
Special Washington dispatches to various
papers contain the following:
The roads in Virginia, which a day or two
ago were in tolerable condition, have relapsed
into condition almost impossible.
The President indicated the adjournment of
the Senate by saying to-day, 1t would not be
his fault If its business was not closed by Sat-
urday next"
Consul General Murphy, at Frankforton-
the Maine, declares he could send to the army
In America $1,000 men In ten days, If he wss
authorized to do so. He represents the Ger
man States pervaded with enthusiasm for the
Union.
The Times states that the President has de-
termined to appoint Gen. Butler Provost Mar
shal General.

Letter from wateryille.
WArERvILLE, March 10, 1856,

VAUDEVILLE, Marcn ~, 1865.
To the Editors of the Press:
We had a large Union meeting here last
night The Town Hall was filled to its ut
most capacity. The "Union League" was ad-
dressed by Hon. J. G. Blaine. He never did
better. His argument in favor of the emanci-
potion proclamation was conclusive against
the answer of "copperheadism."
: The town of Clinton under the supervision
Of Daniel b. Brown, present Representative,
has gone Democratic, and Mr.. Brown carried
a vote through for the town to pay its entire
indebtedness this year, which amounts to over
$4,000. His reason for this is, shat it is
black Republican war, and be wants to let
them know what they are about"

stssmer Axahana-From Roanoke Island-Loss
OF the Steamer Swan

New YonK, Feb l6.-Adyices received here
state that the Alabama sailed from Kingston,
on the night OF the 25th ultimo.
News from Roanoke Island states that the
<'onfederates have hundred and twenty-five
small boats secreted in the Bayous Of Tyrell
and Hyde counties, and that they expect to
cross TO that island and capture the garrison
stationed there
The steamer Swan, from Kingston for New
Orleans, has been lost with seventeen Of her
<aew and passengers.
in NJ. MERCER letter to the French Minis
Ter Of Foreign Affairs, under date Of Novem-
Der Dist, he says:
'1'he Cabinet at Washington is now media
ting new project, which it hopes will prove
at the same time q powerful means OF coercion.
The idea is, TO seize the cotton, rice, tobacco
and sugar On all the plantations that come
within the reach Of the Federal forces, to send
these staples to the principal Northern mar
kets, where they are to b. sold, and their value
returned to those owners who would consent to
take the oath Of allegiance to the Union This
scheme being at variance with existing engage
ments, in virtue Of which neutrals were not to
be trammeiled in the expectation OF any cotton
they might get possession Of, at ports occupied
by the Federals, Nh. Seward thought it we'll to
notify the French and English Legations be-
Iorehand, and invite them to give him the If
views After he had consulted Lord Lyons
and myself, We told the Secretary OF State that
we did not mean to compromise our respective
governments by any word Of ours, on this pure
y military measure; but we asked him what.
1t his project were executed, would become Of
such staples as might belong to neutrals. He
answered that such property would be respect
ed; only, that their proprietors would have it
IN their power to export them at the same time
and In the same way as those belonging to
Americans, that had been seized by the Fede-
raj forces. [ then asked him if he was not
a'raid that the probable result of the project
IN question would be the burning Of all the sta
pies that he proposed to seize. He answered
shat he had no uneasiness on that score.
