On every wind from the South come reports
Of peace movements, peace combinations and
for peace. All sorts Of doves, bear

ington TO Richmond and from Richmond 10
Washington. II is believed that JEFF Davis,
surrounded by our armies and by hostile fac
tons, is getting very weak in the back, and is
prepared to give UP his confcderacy for the
privileges of an amnesty, and that Old Abe
is disposed to be exceedingly generous.
+. p. Blair, the father Of the family, as vol
unteer peace ambassador, has been admitted
into Richmond. He is reported as having
safely arrived at the Spottswood House, where
the bill OF fare is corn bread and bacon, at the
rate Of one hundred dollars q day in rebel
scrip, ten dollars in "grcenbacks," or two dol
lars in Union gold. Old Mr.. Blair, we pre-
sumo, may be considered the representative of
the conservative republicans, though 1t
is possible he may be also strength
encd with the blessing Of Greeley. The
copperhead peace men have likewise detailed
their peace messenger to the enemy in the
person Of Gen. Singleton, Of Illinois, whose spe-
cial mission is perhaps to look after the sup
posed interests Of his party in the preservation
of slavery. These two peace mcssengers-and
how many more we cannot tch-have gone out
over the troubled waters from Washington. On
the other hand, as II appears, tho rebel House
Of Representatives has appointed peace COM
mittee of fifteen-including such Southern rebel
conservatives as Boyce and Orr, Of South Caro-
lima; VIM. G. Rives, Of Virginia, and John A.
Ciln,er Of North CarOlina-On n neace mission
