The Washington correspondent of the
New York Worzd says Stanton and Blair
have not been on speaking termsfor some
time past. Blaiy, since the late raid, charg.
ed Stanton and Halleek with inoompetency.
He was 30 abusive that Halleok senta re.
monstrance to Lincoln. How the matter
will end is not known, but it is believed
Stanton will resign. The correspondent Of
the Tribune says Lincoln, in private con.
versation, recognized all the difficulties and
dissatisfaction which the new call for troops
would produce, but states .mostsemphati-
cally that the men are needed and must be
had. Should he fail, we would go down
with eolors flying.
RICHMOND, July 25.-Sanders' letter
to Greeley is dated Clifton House, Niagara
Falls, July 12, and requests safe conduct
to Washington for Clay, Holcombe, and
himself. Greeley says, in reply, on.the
18th, understanding that they were bearers
of propositions from Richmond, they would
be rendered safe conduct from Lincoln
They. replied, that they were not accredited
with direct propositions, but felt authorized
to declare that if the circumstances dis.
closed in the correspondence were commn.
nicated to Richmond, they would be in
vested with fall powers. Greeley again con-
ferred with Lincoln, who sent document
declaring that any proposition desiring a
restoration of the peace and integrity of the
whole Union, and the abandonment ofsla.
very, coming by authority that can control
the armies now at war against the United
States, will be received and considered by
the Executive and Government of the Uni.
ted States, and the bearers thereof have
safe conduct: both ways. Clay and Hol.
comb replied to Greeley, on the 2lst, that
tender of conduct to Washington on the
hypothecation that they were accredited
bearers of peace proposition, was accepted
as evidence of gratifying change of policy
of Lincoln. They could not claim the bene-
fit of safe conduct in a character they had
no right to assume ; but they were couvinc.
ed the President Of the Confederate States
would give the requisite authority. Instead
of the safe conduct they solicited, docu-
ment was presented which provokes as smuch
indignation as surprise, and preoludes nego.
tiation in advance for terms and conditions
of peace. They have no use whatever for
the paper could not transmit it to the
President Of the Confederate States, with
out offending him indirectly, dishonoring
themselves and incurring the scorn of their
countrymen.
The Baltimore Gazette says the latest ad-
vices from Missouri are exciting. The
guerillas are increasing to an unprecedent-
ed extent, and it is now confidently assert.
ed that they have entered the State with
fully $4,000 men under Price. The State
authorities seemed alarmed at the aspect Of
affairs, as they are not in condition to meet
the enemy with an adequate military force
Greeley says in his paper that the only
part taken by him in the recent correspou-
dence related solely to bringing the aptag-
onists face to face, with view to neutral
ize an earnest effort for peace to be prose-
outed in Washington. His general infer
ence sthat the pacifcatiou of ,our country
is neither so difficult nor SO distant as
seems to be generally supposed. =,
