Fifteen descrters, principally from the 1880
rebel Tennessee infantry, including surgeon
came in to-day, and took the oath. The sur
geon was direct from Tupelp, Miss, whefe he
stated Hoods army had gone into winter quar-
tiers. He contradictedfhe report that Cheat
ham had made a speech to the rebel troops
advising them to go home, and remain there,
as the rebel acanse was hopeless. On the con-
trary, iCheatham had merely given furloughs
to the rebel soldiers, that they might golhome
tosee their friends, and to recruit. He also
stated that many of the rebel soldiers, who
mad declared their intention to desert on ac-
CONT OF tbs destruction of Hoods army, on
learning that they would be furnished with
comfortable winter quarters and be. better
clothed and fed than heretofore, we're again
returning to the rebel army. Nessr
baker of Memphis, named Spencer out
side our lines A miles from the city, has been
arrested aud lodged il, prison on the charge of
trying to smuggle through the lines a barrel
of quiAine.a This barrel was found in his eel
lar, which it is said he intended to- dispose, OF
to the rebels. He had obtained permit to
take barrel through our. lines, representing
it to be flour foc the use o. his family.jog

Of Mr.. Stevens would not prevail 1t Is true,
as he says, that this is bill of great impor-
lance, and should be passed as soon as it can
properly be done. But it should'be borne in
mind that thus far the discussion Of this sub
slect has been entirely in this branch. No
member or the Senate has had an opportunity
70 express his views. That branch will I'M
uouotedly disagree with some of our amend
nents, and propose Others Tor our consideIa.
tlon' Hence he thought it better that the bill,
wl@ sucn Inconsistencies as may be in it, go
now 70 the Senate, be considered by them, and
recommitted from that branch. This he be-
-hey s,s would facilitate action, and the bill
Wouln pc passed In more perfect state at an
earlier date. q ~ = u III
Mr. Stevens said that with that understand.
ing he would not press his motion.
The question again returned on the passage
Of the bill to be engrossed.
3Mr. Miller, OF Portland, hoped that the bill
would nDtSb forced through the House this
morning when there is so thin an attendance.
fAs 1t now stands he should feel compelled to
vote against It. Undue haste would not prove
any advantage in the, end.
Mr.. Shaw, of Biddeford, hoped the bill would
be passed this morning, $50 that the Senate
might begin its work upon it. In his section
of the State, people were looking with very
considerable impotence for this measure. and
he did not wish to have the matter postponed
any longer. 80 y - ,... "a
Mr.. Miller, of Portland, called for return
OF the House; but, it appearing that quorum
was present, he withdrew the demand. ~
The bill was then passed to be engrossed

~ The rebel pltimatpm was reaognitloh of
the independence Of the Southern States As a
preliminary condition absolutely indispensa-
bic to any negotiations whatever, CONCERNING
peace. PRESIDENT Lincoln on the other hand
distinctly Informed them that the United
States could stop the war, and arrest even
temporarily the movement of the armies only
on the condition that the authority Of the uni,
ted Htates should be recognized and ebeyed
over the whole territory Of the United States!
This radical difference of views was found to
bs irreconcilable and the conference resulted
therefore in failnr9. ss
g On meeting Seward, the rebel commissioners
desired to ka escorted to Washington. Secre-
tary Seward told them 1t was the determine
tien, of the President, to have the conference
take place at Fortress Monroe They pressed,

were assured BY Mr.. Blair that they should

salaries. Delegations froncounties, and 9TH

drswp upon petitions OF various officers for
increase Of pay. The trial trip was made on
the salary of the Register Of Probate tcr the
County OF York, # was asked that this sals-
ry be increased from 1925 to $1,000. Some
pretty good reasons were adduced to show
that the salary was quite too low. But the
leap was SO far ahead, thatsome votes went
against the increase on that account, AZ Is
said that a compromise may be Effected at
$500. But, from the many adverse reports
that have been made on other petitions Of
this kind, j am satisfied butfew If any will be-
granted. This Legislature zis determined
that the ofice-helders, whose salaries they
control, must work along on theirpresent pay
