NEW IORkJ jan. 10
The HeraIFs St. Louis correspondent
gives the outlines of a reported rebel pro
ject West cf the Mississippi. 1t is to the
effect that General Kirby Smith, command
ing the rebel Mississippi Depart
ment including all the rebel territory and
troops West Of the Mississippi River, has
been for some time negotiating for trans
fer of all his forces to the Emperor Maxi
milan, of Mexico.
1t is anticipated that if General Smi tn
does contemplate this important transfer
of his services he will have some difficulty
in efecting it, as the rebel troops of that
region, always q lswless and semi-disorgan-
lied set of wild characters, have become
additionally demorslized since the death OF
old Sterling Price, their favorite chief, and
may resist this wholesale military colonizs-
tion.
The Herald publishes the rebel army
register which it says was obtained from
the most authentic source. The figures sc
companying the organization, show that
the full strength of the rebels is only
L,699,951 of all arms. This is
their fullest strength. These forces arc
scattered from the James TO the Red
River, and from the Atlantic coast to the
Indian Territory. It is shown very con-
clusively that the only army upon which
the rebels can depend is the Army of Vir-
ginis. This is the only organization which
the enemy has deserving the name, and the
only army which we now have to over.
come.

NEW YORK, Jan. 80.
The Tribune has q sensation article on 8
recognition intrigue, in which it says it has
obtained 8 clue to q European complot,
wherefrom the slave-holding rebels are
comforting themselves with hopes of pow
erful and speedy aid to their hopeless
csuse. At an early stage Of the rebellion
JEFF. Davis sent Roman Catholic Bishop
Lynch, of South Carolina, to Europe, to
search for sympathizers and allies, and to
make Rome the focus of operations. 1t
was not difficult for him to convince the
master spirits of European reaction and
absolutism that slsve-holdersr the rebel
lion were identical in spirit with their
cause, and would enlist their sympathies.
But the Bishop went further, and assured
the Magnates of the Catholic Church that
its expansion and predominance through
out the hemisphere would be assured by
the triumph of the rebels. In Difference to
these representations q secret lesgue of the
Roman Catholic Powers, France, Spain
and Austria, under the guidance of the
Pope, has been formed, pledged to reeog-
nize the Confederacy after the 4th Of
March next, on the ground that 1t did not
take part in the Presidential election.
The Tribune also learns that the rebell
| anticipate a fresh assault on Richmond
and in case they are not able 10 hold i
they will burn it to the ground, to show
Christendom that they would rather be ex
terminated than subjugsted-

PRoM WAsHINRTOR.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3U.
Messrs. Richardson and Browne, jour
nslists who escaped from Salisbury prison,
appeared before the Committee on the
Conduct of the War this morning, testify
ing that the rebel authorities are murder
ing our soldiers by cold and hunger, while
they might easily supply them with ample
food and fuel. On the 25th of November
many Of the prisoners we're without food
for forty-eight hours.
They mention cases Of deliberate killing
and wounding.
During the two months from the 18th Of
October to the 18th of December, the
deaths were 20 per cent. of the whole.
When they left, st the latter date, they
we're dying at the rate of 13 per cent. per
month.
It is stated by Professor Henry that the
partial destruction of the Smithsonian
building will not interrupt the regular act
i've operations of the institution.
Further particulars of the explosion OF
the Eclipse say twenty-seven were killed
instantly. Numbers are missing, supposed
to be drowned. The Clerk of the steamer,
and several of the crew, were among the
killed. The scslded sufferers, over sixty in
number, mostly belonging to the Gath In
diana Battery, were brought to Psduesh
yesterday, and placed in the hands Of the
post Surgeon.

and asked why he did not suit the case to
the civil instead of the naval courts He
replied that civil courts were organized to
acquit, while naval courts were organized
toconvict
Mr.. Hale thought if there were doubts
of these things in minds of any he could
make full conviction of the truth. He
thought the naval retiring law was very
bad, as it rendered retired officers compos-
ing courts under the control of the heads
of departments. Officers bring men up for
trial and the court has no alternative but
to convict.
Mr.. Hale referred to the conduct of
Secretary of the Navy in giving large con-
tracts for purchases to his brOther-in-law,
and paying him excessive Compensation.
He concluded with severe comments upon
the conduct of the Secretary of the Navy
towards prominent officers, and denounced
the iron cisds as worthless.

THE BLAIR MISSION.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.
The HeraldS Washington special says
The mission of Mr.. Blair to Richmond was
not, as has been generally supposed, an en-
tire failure, but that it resulted in fully dis
closing the fact that many of the rebel
chiefs ara desirous of peace, and are willing
to submit to much more reasonable terms
than their newspaper organs would lead
US to suppose, but that all are so Jealous and
wstchful of each other that no one dsres to
make an advance for fear of being made
the victim of some desperate and relentless
faction.
Another correspondent says that weneed
not be surprised to soon hear of terms for
peace in the proclsmstions of the Govern
ors of Gesrgis aid North Carolina.
The T-ibu1e's special says: The only
new development as to the Blair Mission
is reported by two members of the House,
who dinsd with the returned envoy. AL
though they are Democratic they state that
Mr.. Blair said that JEFF. Davis entreated
him to effect the passage of the constitu-
tional amendment sbOlishing slavery; that
he confessed that the war had uprooted
and destroyed slavery; that slavery had in
dueed disunion, and that the hope of being
able yet to save slavery and re-enthrone it
was the only obstacle to peace and the res
toration of the Union.
This WAS told on the floor of the House
on Saturday. Bets were Instantly offered
by Peace Democrats that Mr.. Blair had
not uttered 8 word of what was imputed to
him.

The Times Savannah correspondent of

The lsst of Shermsn's army leaves Sa-
vannsh tomorrow. The first and third
divisions of the goth corps were at Hsrdee-
vile, sc, when last heard from.
The HerGLds Washington dispatch says:
The Navy Department received confrms-
tory intelligence that telegraph wire was
discovered after the explosion of Fort
Fisher leading scross Cape Fear river and
about two miles into the rebel lines. There
is but little doubt that the magazine was
purposely exploded by the rebels.
All peace negotiations with Richmond
are now very thoroughly exploded, though
negotiations are expected from other quar-
te1s, perhaps by proclamations of the Gov
ernoTs Of Georgia and North Carolina
1t is stated that it WAS part the object OF
Stantons visit TO Savannah to advise with
Sherman that If tho rebels should propose
terms Of peace 10 bold himself in Tesdines;

TIE stern-Wheel steamer Eclipse, Cap

the Tennessee river, on Friday morning,
at six o'clock, exploded one of her boilers,
instantly killing twenty-seven soldiers, in
cluding the clerk, Mr.. Cummings, and seri-
ously scalding seyenty-eight others the
msiority of whom, it is feared, will die
from the injuries received by the explosion.
The sufferers we're mostly soldiers belong
ing TO the 9th Indians Battery, Captain
Brown, en- Tolste for Indianapolis, Ind, to
be mustered out, their term of service
having expired. The battery number
ed sixty-fve men on board only sew
enteen of whom escaped. Altogether
there were one hundred and sixty souls on
board. Ali the guns of the battery are re-
ported lost. There was also on board
eonscript guard of twenty-one men, return
ing from Eastport to St. Louis, and snoth-
er small squad, beside number Of fur
loughed soldiers and a few civilians. The
Eclipse st the time of the explosion, lay
between the Lady Franklin and the Madi-
son. The lines of the three boats had just
been cast off from shore when the accident
took place. Several men were thrown by
the force of the conclusion upon the hur-
ricsne decks of the Lady Franklin and
Madison.
The wreck caught fire Immediately.
Owing TO the fear Of second explosion
caused by the ignition of powder on board
the Inflated boat, very little assistance
could be rendered her, but the other trans

steamers, and the Madison stood bravely
