Washington special says Blairs business
to Richmond was to recover number
OF important private papers, title deeds,
etc, taken from his house by the rebels
when near Washington. He was very
kindly received and had frank aud free
conversation with JEFF Davis and mum
bers Of others, but these resulted 10
nothing definite. The story published
by the Richmond Dispatch about Davis
sending a letter 10 President Lincoln,
saying that he was willing to receive
Peace Commissioners, Is all bosh
The Tfibuae's special also says no
letter was sent by Davis, and that he
made no sign Of lowering the rebel flag.
ExGoy Jacobs, of Kentucky, who
returned with Mr.. Blair, reports 8 strong
aleaee feeling among The citizens OF
amond, aud even among officers Of
grades. He predicts that there
be cessation of hostilities within
Two months, and proposal for peace
from the rebel Government This is in
contradiction of the indications shown in
the fact reported by an officer from
North Carolina, who says the rebels al
ready have three regiments OF freed
slaves in the field.

an inventory Of the ammunition and
arms la our army. Such peryerse
piece of folly as admitting q political
engineer among our people and public
men, but besides positive danger, injury
and corruption, il ought TO be sutf.

that it is accepting an inferior position
