PAssPoBrs.-There have been many
stories circulated relative to the method
of procuring passports. Below we give
copy of Circular No. 81, issued to the
Consular officers of the United States,
under date of Department Of State,
September 9th, 1884,"
"By section LOG of an act of Congress
approved June 80, 1864, to provide ma
tional revenues to support the Govern
ment, to pay interest on the public debt
and for other purposes, it is enacted
that the sum of five dollars shall be paid
for every passport issued by any Minis
ter or Consul of the United States, who
shall account therefor to the Treasury
Consuls are therefore instructed hereaf-
ter to charge six dollars for every pass
port issued by them, making two entries
under the same number in fee book-fve
dollars to be entered as returned reve-
nue. fee, and one dollar as Consular
fee. The accounts shall be kept and the
quarterly returns made in the manner
laid down in section IA of Circular No.
49,"

Peace Movements I'm North Caro-
lima.

The following is report of a MAORI
ty of the committee OF the North Caro-
lima Legislature, to whom were referred
IA series OF resolutions entitled "Resolu-
tions to initiate negotiations for an hon
orable peace;"
THE majority of the Joint Select
Committee of the two Houses to which
were referred Senate resolutions No. 4,
entitled Resolutions TO Initiate negotia-
lions for an honorable peace, report the
same back to the Senate without amend
ment, and recommend that they pass.
"The majority of the committee be-
lieve that while every effort is being
made to increase and strengthen the
army by the most severe drain upon the
people, OF men and means, these extreme
requirements should be accompanied by
some manifestation of an effort and de-
sire to secure an honorable peace by all
other legitimate measures.
Commissioners heretofore rendered
have been refused by the United States
upon the preteXt that their reception
would imply recognition of the Con-
federate Government, as preliminary,
and that in case of failure to agree
upon a treaty, such recognition would
nevertheless stand, These resolutions
seek to remove this objection by APP
pointing commissioners on the part of
the States, whose civil existence and au-
thority have never been denied; but, at
the same time, to make their tender and
all powers dependent on the action and
adoption of the President. 1t is not
proposed that these commissioners derive
any power from the States, but only
that they be rendered by the President
for a peace conference, he giving to them
such powers and instructions as he may
deem necessary and proper.

Mr.. BLAR's MISSION TO RICHMOND
The following special dispatch from
Washington appeared in the New York
Tribune Of Tuesday morning. Mr.. Gree
ley is at present at the capital
"Francis P. Blair, ST., went on his sec
ond Mission of Peace to Richmond on
Saturday. His son, Montgomery Blair,
did not accompany him. Passes from
the Confederate authorities-civila and
military (oelay In the receipt of which,
at Grants headquarters, had induced
Mr.. Blair last week to return to Wash
ington) had been transmitted to him
here, and will enable him to contin-
ne his journey to Richmond without in
terruption. Heis doubtless in that city.
1t is known here that Mr.. Blair will
propose to the Davis Government a
scheme Of pacifcation, resting funda-
mentally on return Of the Rebellious
States to the Union. Whatever politi-
cal and moral advantages may be de-
rived to us from this tender of the olive
branch, no hope is entertained here that
Mr.. Blairs mission will have the sue
cess of initiating negotiations for peace
The conditions Of reunion will be fatal
to his or any other ENJOYS labOrs."

New York C1Ty.-T The present city
debt of New York is about thirty two
and a half millions, but instead of re
trenchment Mayor Gunther recommends,
in his late message increased expendi-
ture in almost every department. The
salaries of officials, he thinks, should be
increased. The rates of compensation
to the gas companies should be en-
larged; the wharves should be rebuilt
of stone; a new reservoir should be
built to supply the suburb of Washing
ton Nights with the Croton water All
the business streets, including Broad
way, should be repaved with block
pavement. A more perfect system Of
sewerage is indispensable, The clean
ing Of the streets will be done more ef-
fectually, if, in addition to the 10000 a
year paid now, the contractor also has
all the street sweeping as perquisites.
And last, two new markets should be
built up town.

TAe Wilmington Faiiare-Gen. Hut
Ier's Removal.


II seems pretty well settled, If rebel
testimony can settle it, that there was
bat small garrison in Fort Fisher at
me time Of the late attack upon 1t, The
Wilmington correspondent of the Rich
nond Dispatch wrote, while our troops
were landed above the Fort ..-.
1.-THE enemy Is now between VIII
mington and Fort Fisher and has cut
of communication by land with the
latter. If he is not dislodged sooa,
Fisher must fall as Fort Morgan did,
and with its fall the port of Wilmington
will be sealed. There has been
gross dereliction of duty between here
and Richmond; but whether the mill
harry or railway authorities are RESPONSE
bic for 1t remains to be seen. General
Bragg is doing all he can with the hand
ful of men present to hold the place"
The Dispatch said after the attack
was abandoned that cit seemed hardly
possible that force so enormous should
be beaten off and discounted by gar
sssea Of a fee hundred men, good part of
which ,eere rae militia" and remarks in
another place, "neyer again will it's
forts be so SHINY garrisoned." The
rebel Bragg's official report says he did
not capture the four or five hundred of
Our men left on the beach, because his
reinforcements had not arrived.
The Army and Navy Journal refers to
the want of cooperation which is too
apt TO be the trouble where there is no
one in supreme command, and which
was evident in this case from the outset,
and also to the position Of Gen. Weitzel
in the matter. Gen. Weitzel being sub
ordinate to Gen. Butler, would have
been held responsible for the failure if
he had made an unsuccessful attack,
while Gen. Butler would have received
the chief praise, if the attack had been
made and proved successful. Under
these circumstances of course General
Weitzel must necessarily have been dis
posed to great caution, and the Journal
intimates that Gen. Butler should there
fore also have examined the situation
for himself. But too much credit seems
to have been given at the time of the
contemplated attack to the rebel report
OF the arrival in the vicinity of large
reinforcements.
Gen. Buffers official report has been
made, but has not yet been given to the
public. What reasons for not attacking
may be contained in it we cannot yet
know, but the removal of Gen. Butler
from his command we presume is to be
taken as a sufficient indication Of the
opinion Of his official superiors. Gen
Buffers brilliant administrative abii-
ties, particularly in positions requiring
great promptness, courage and decis-
ion, are generally conceded. As field
general he has not been eminently sac
cessful, for the same reason doubtless,
that other civilian generals have failed
lack of military education, as well as
OF experience in subordinate military
positions to supply its place. West
Point is not Indispensable to q good
commander, but, lacking West Point,
military training, either at some other
good military school or in the ranks of
the army, seems to be general pre-
requisite to success.
