RICHMOND. Feb. s. 1865.


To The President Of tho Confederate States /:
Sin Under your letter of appointment,
OF the 2Sth ult., we proceeded 10 seek an
informal conference with Abraham Lin
coin, President of the United States. upon
the subject mentioned in your letter.
The conference was granted. and took
place on the Both ult., on board steamer
anchored in Hampton Roads, where we
met President Lincoln and the Hon. VIM.
II. Seward, Secretary of State Of the
United States
1t continued for several hours and WAS
both full and explicit. We learned from
them that the message of President Lincoln
TO the United States Congress, in Decem.
Der last, explains clearly and distinctly
his sentiments as TO the terms, conditions,
and method of proceeding by which peace
can be secured TO the people, and we were
not informed that they would be modified
or altered to attain that end
We understand from him that no terms
or proposals Of any treaty or agreement,
looking TO an ultimate settlement, would
be entertained or made by him with the
authorities Of the Confederate States.
because that would be recognition of
their existence as q separate power, which,
under no circumstances, would be- done,
and for like reasons, that no such terms
would be entertained by him from States
separat. ly; that no extended truce or
armisticc, as at present advocated, would
be granted or allowed without satisfac-
tory assurance in advance of the completo
restoration of the Constitution and laws
ofths United States over all places within
the Sta % # the Confederacy.
That" atever consequences may follow
from the establishment of that authority
must be accepted, but that individuals,
subject to pains and penalties under the
laws OF the United States, might rely on q
very liberal use Of the power con6ded to
him to remit their pains aud penalties, IL
peace be restored.
During the conference, the proposed
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States, adopted by Congress on
the 3lst ultimo, were brought to our
notice.
These amendments provide that neither
slavery nor involuntary serviude, except
for crimes, should exist within the United
states, or any place within their jurisdic-
tion, and that Congress should have
power to enforce this amendment by ap-
propriate legislation.
Ofall the correspondence that preceded
the conference herein mentioned and lead.
ing to the same, you have heretofore been
informed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servants,

state was never called TO this act of
Congress until the present session. A
few weeks since, bill was introduced
in the House of Representatives accept
ing the grant and directing the Governor
to so notify the General Government.
When it was called up for third reading
on Tuesday last, it was defeated by two
majority; all the members from New
Castle County, and two members from
Sussex, voted for acceptance and the
balance Of the House voted against it.
So Delaware refuses to receive what every
loyal State has accepted and is making
available for the great purposes Of Educu
ton.
The question is asked on all sides, why
was it defeated? We have endcavored
to ascertain tho true answer TO this ques-
ton. The reasons given by those who
voted against it were oil bosh 1t was
defeated by those. whose blind party pre-
judices and hatred of the General Gov
ernment dictated the refusal of its liberal
bounty aud benefcence in favor of one of
the most important bulwarks of free gov.
enment-the education Of the people.
This and this alone was the sole cause of
the defeat of the bill.
The present controlling managers of
our legislation were never distinguished
for their advocacy Of the cause of universal
Education. They have never had any
great admiration for the system of public
schools, and TO this cause may be attrbu-
ted the decadence, or at least the absence
oil progress, so apparent during the last
ten years in that system as established in
this State. If there is one defect greater
than another in our system of public
schools, it may be found in the want of
some mode by which proper and compe-
tent teachers may be secured TO carry out
the very object for which the whole scheme
was established. The city of Wilmington
has cured this defect; and We are well
aware, that there are in some Of our humble
district schools earnest and educated men
devoting themselves to the duties of an
arduous and unrewarded profession but
we cannot deny the fact, which is appar-
ent TO every practical observer, that a
great majority Of those, who are entrusted
with the education of the children of this
State, are far behind the intellectual
standard recognized in other States, for
the performance Of the same duties. BY
accepting the donation of the public
lands, we might have established, with
triaing additional expense, State Normal
School, which would have extended its
beneficial influence 10 every district, and
infused new life and rigor into the whole
system of public instruction. The peculiar
Democracy now ascendant in our leg
islative halls, more tenacious in the
expression of its hate to the General G oy-
eminent, than in securing to the people
the blessings of education, have rejected,
what, to this State, is of essential impor.
tance in adding to the value and useful
ness of the public schools. viii the
people hold them responsible for this act ?

THE DONATION OF pup,.,o ,.x,s

ANNANAoN VI FUBL1C LANDS.
BY an act of Congress approved by the
President of the United States, July I'd
1852, the General Government made a
munifcent donation of public lands to
the several States for the purpose of pro.
viding schools for the benefit of Agricul.
ture and Mechanic Arts In order to be
partakers in this bounty, it was necessary
for each State to signify its acceptance bv
Legislative action within two years from
the date of the passage of the act In
April, 1864, Congress by further act
extended the period, during which accep.
tance could be made, until the month Of
April, 1866.
Under and by virtue of this law, Della
ware was entitled to scrip for 10000
acres of the public land This scrip bv
proper and judicious management would
realize the handsome sum of 100000.
The conditions ofthe gift are as follows:
l. That at least one school should be
established for the benefit Of Agriculture
and the mechanic Arts, within five years
from the acceptance of the grant.
2. One-tenth only OF tbs sum realized
by the sale OF the scrip sho, d be used in
the purchase Of lands, nike balance of
the sum should be Invested in the stocks
OF the United States or our own State
stocks. The building or buildings should
be erected by the State, or at least no
part OF the fund is to be appropriated for
that purpose. The fund to be kept intact.
and If any part of it is diminished or lost
The State is to make good the loss.
D. The income or interest of the capital
so invested to be inviolably appropriated
ny each State to the endowment, support
ana maintenance of at least one college.
where the leading object shall be, without
excluding other scientific and classical
studies, and including military tacties
TO teach such branches Of learning os ara
related to agriculture and the mechanic
arts, in such manner as the legislatures os
the States may respectively prescribe, in
order to promote the liberal and practical
education Of the industrial classes in the
several pursuits and professions in life.
4. Upon failure to comply with these
conditions the grant. shall cease, and the
scrip shall be returned, or the money ro.

The bishop was very eloquent, and every
body seemed completely carried away.
He told an anecdote in the course of his
speech about a Kentuckian who was asked
by mn Englishman what were the boun-

replied that the United States were

for any length of time that rebel pluck or
