NoRTH CARoLINA.-Thet town of Wash
ington has not been occupied by Yankee
troops since the .recapture of Plymouth.
The place is as quiet almost as desert.
There is but little there to attract the
enemy. The attack upon Plymouth was
evidently aimed more at the destruction
of the ram Albemarle than anything else.
That being accomplished, only small
force and few gunboats are kept there.
The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1864-11-30

the engagement, which may be summed
up as follows: Loss to the Yankees, three
gunboats, seven transports, large ware
house and an immense quantity of army
stores destined for Sherman. We cannot
tell what loss the enemy sustained in
killed and wounded, but it must have
been severe. Strange to say, our loss
was no one killed and about fifteen
wounded. Our fire was much more de-
structlye than the enemy's, owing to the
fact that we got the complete range of
his position and made every shot tell.

MURDER OF CoNsCRIPT GUARD.-On

NEW YORK. Jan. IL.
= The Rspublcan's Memphis correspondent
says that two important propositions have re-
Gently been made by the rebel authorities to
the Federal government. The first Is from
quartermaster OF the rebel army at fernando,
acting by authority Of the Richmond officials,
Offering to sell to General Hurlbert or to the
United States government oil the cotton now
remaining within q certain district yet outside
Of the Federal lines. This offer embraces Is.
600 bales, Is oil rebel government cotton, and
greenbacks will be taken for Il. II II said that
Gen. Hurlburt favors Its purchase, and has
recommended that the proposition be carried
into effect.
The second proposition Is stated to be from
Kirby Smith, who recently sent an authorized
messenger to Washington to propose to- the
Federal authorities to furnish every requisite
authority to get out all the cotton In that por-
ton Of Red River and Washito district within
rebel control; the money for the same to be
paid to that class Of officers excepted from the
amnesty offered by President Lincoln, they. to
retire from the rebel army, and go to Mexico.
The Republican says, edltorially. OF the cor
rcctness OF this information 1--WE have no
doubt Of II, for Il comes from sources likely to
have the best means OF information. Also.
that this would involve tho complete disband-
ment OF. the rebel forces In Arkansas, Missis
sippi, Louisiana and Texas, and tho immediate
return of those States to the Union"

GETTING ITS EYES OrEy.-Thc PittsDurg
Post, u conservative" Journal Of the most
pro-slavcry character, and which has stuck
to slavery quite rs close ~ the proverbial
sticking OF "dcath to sick Niger" has
got its eyes open at last, and makes the fol-
lowing admission:
.wo feel satisfied that the future peace OF
this now bleeding and distracted country re
quires the total extinction OF slavery among
US. We do not allude TO its eradication this
year or next, or whether II shall disappear In
this generation or In the next: our idea Is that
its final abolition, at some fixed period, Is nee
essary for the future peace OF this Republic.
One Of the results Of the present rebellion will
be the weakening, or perhaps, destruction OF
one of its causes-slayery In the South. with
that will follow the death Of Abolition among
ourselves. Then, after the terrible experience
Of the present times, our country will be 70.
created, and increased civilization, on lumn-
Gus wings, will spread Its blessings upon re-
generated Republic, destined to be the great:
est nation upon which the sun has ever shons.'

SLAVERY AND TIE PEACE PARrY.-In late
speech at Cincinnati, Gen. CAN'T, of Arkan-
sas, expressed sentiments which our readers
may we'll consider of great Importance. in rs
much as they show tho feeling of Union
men in tho slave States wherever liberated
from the Davis despotism. After stating
the feeling with which no with other rebels
at first regarded the Emancipation Procla-
nation, Gen. CAN'T says:
And here let me express my belief that God
Almighty intended this war to be the death :
blow to slavery. From the first we can trace
circumstances and signals which point unmis.
takably to this fact. Every circumstance in
this rebellion shows struggle in the nature
of things to free the nation from the blight OF
this curse. And We will throw 1t of and be u
more homogeneous aud united people than ever
before. The people of the South did not un-
derstand this Mt first, but they are beginning
TO learn it, and to see the philosophy Of events.
Many of us sec II now, and desire the evil up
rooted forever. believe this war nearly en-
dcd. Our people have right, God knows, to
he sick of slavery. and they arc sick of it,
Oh 50 sick. They can point to desolated
homes, devastated fields, forsaken fresidcs and
smoking villages, as a monument OF slavery.
They turn from 1t with loathing Undesirable.
But phiie IRE rho are so much interested pray
for deliperancs from this curse, there is a
sneaking party IN the North toho irould force
US to keep this curse with ns. We would re.
turn to our allegiance with slavery blotted
from our State Constitution. What n sight
10 here presented! tel you, my friends,
that II you desire to prolong this war, you
have only to continue this talk about conserya-
tism. There is nothing that has more assisted
jeff Davis than the conservative peace party
Of the North.

SEYxouR's CHARACTER DRAws.-Lord Ma.
cauley, in describing the character Of Charles
the First, of England, thus prophetically
described the character Of Gov. Seymour Of
New York:
"Hc wrote and spoke, not, like his father.
with the exactness Of q professor, but after the
fashion Of intelligent and we'll. educated gentle
men. His taste In literature and art was excel
lent; his manner digni6ed, though not gra-
cious; his domestic life without blemish. Faith.
lessness was the chief cause Of his disasters,
and Is the chief stain on his memory. He was,
in truth, impelled, by an ineurable propensity,
to dark and wicked ways. Il may seem strange
that his conscience. which on occasions Of little
moment was sufficiently sensitive. should mover
have reproached him with this great vice. But
there Is reason to believe that he was perHdious,
not only from consultation and from habit, but
also on principle. He seems to have learned
from the politicians whom he most esteemed,
that between him and Loyalty there could be
nothing of the nature Of mutual contract"
