RALEIGH, Dec. 80, 1S64r)
HIS ErceNency President Davis:
My DEAR SIR :-After a careful con
sideration of all the sources of discomfort
in North Carolina, / have concluded that
it will be impossible to remove it except
by making some effort at negotiation with
the enemy. The recent action of the
Federal House of Representatives, tho
meaning very little, has greatly excited
the public hope that the Northern mind
is looking toward peace. I an promised
by all men who advocate this course, that
if fair terms are rejected it will tend
greatly to strengthen and intensity the
war feeling, and will rally all classes to a
more cordial support of the government.
And although our position is well
known as demanding only to be let alone,
yet it seems to me that for the sake of
humanity without having any weak or
improper motives attributed to us, we
might with propriety constantly tender
negotiations In doing so we would keep
~conspicuously before the world a disclaim-
err of our responsibility for the great
slaughter of our race, and convince the
humblest of our citizons-who sometimes
forget the actual situation-that the Gov
eminent is tender of their lives and hap
piness, and will not prolong their suffer
ings unnecessarily one moment. Though
statesmen might regard this as useless,
the people will not, and I think our cause
will be strengthened thereby. I have
not suggested the method of these nego-
t~iations, or their terms. The effort to
obtain peace is the principal matter.
Allow me to beg your earnest conside-
ration of this suggestion.
Very respectfully yours,
u. B. VANCE.

had the property Of such men in charge to

few reported, but others treated the order
with silent contempt
We know where the several kinds Of
property of many Of these rebels are and
as unpleasant as it is to search houses and
Sucar the inmates, we shall have it to do,
unless the property is voluntarily turned
over to us. We instance the property Of
Rer Jos. n. Martin, Rec Nr. HoyyiSop. and
a portion Of the property owned by the
Parker family. We tell you in all candor,
that this rebel property must be iorthcom-

The case of this notorious bpShrhdctr
came before the United States Commission
ers. Messrs Heiskel and Hall, on Saturday
last Messrs. Nelson and Ncthcrland acting
as counsel for the prisoner, and Mr.. Swan,
the United States District Attorney, on the
part Of the prosecution. The prisoner not
being ready for trial, in the absence of ma
terial witnesses, the hearing Of the case was
set for Wednesday. 24th inst Cook was
captured in company with desperate gang
of bushwhakers. near Duclltown, some few
weeks ago, and was supposed to be the chief
of the gang. having once been a rebel Col
onel He was taken out Of the Jail, for Il
preliminary trial, upon warrant issued by
Commissioner Hall The warrant alleged
that he was 4 citizen Of McMinn county,
and of the United States and that he had
levied war against the Government In his
declaration set forth, he admitted that he
had been in arms, but avOwed that he was
dcdi>m Of Tennessee, not admitting that he
was Il citizen Of the United States This
would seem to indicate that he will fall
back upon the miserable and wom-out plea
Of estates Rights. alleging that a State
cant commit treason This plea might avail
something if the United States Attorney
knew no law and both Commissioners were
fools But as the case stands, such a plea
will not win,
1t is said that Cook will put up the add
tional plea that when captured he was
coming in to take the amnesty oath And
if the Commissioners would hear the testi-
mony OF his associate bushwhackers, he

would swear each other out Of difficulties
Would a man come in to take the oath Of
allegiance to the United States and plead
that he isnot a citizen Of said United States?
All it occurs to Us that this is his mode of
becoming tt citizen
We were struck with this fact while this
case was under consideration Here was a
man prominent at the bar, in the Legisla-
ture and in the rebel army; captured in
the infamous business OF bushwhaclling and
highway robbery-alIeging that he was not
ready for trial calling for subpmuas for wit
