A refugee who left Richmond two weeks
ago says the reportthst Lee has seut troops
to meet Sherman in South Carolina is con-
frmed, but the knowledge of all military
movements was SO well kept that it is not
known in the rebel army what troops, nor
the number that have gone, although it is
now three weeks since they started.
The upper classes among the people of
Richmond profess to be confident of the
success of the confederscy, but the poorer
classes who have severely felt the effect of
the deprecated currency are heartily sick
and tired Of the war and are anxious for
any mode of relief.

The following is the letter of instructions
from General Grant to Butler:
December 6, 1854.
To MAJOR General Butler, Commanding the
ATmy of the James:
GENERAL: The first object of the expedi-
tion under General Wsitzel is to close to
the enemy the port of Wilmington. If
successful in this, the second will be the
capture of Wilmington itself There are
reasonable grounds to hope for success, if
advantage can be taken of the absence Of
great part of the enemy's forces, now look
ing after Sherman. The directions you
have given for the number and equipment
of the expedition are all right, except in
the unimportant ones of where they en-
bark, and the amount of intrenching tools
TO be taken. The object of the expedition
will be gained by efecting landing on the
main land between Cape Fear river and the
Atlantic, north Of the north entrance to
the river. Should such landing be effect
ed, whether the enemy hold Fort Fisher or
the batteries guarding the entrance to the
river, there the troops should intrench
themselves, and by cooperating with the
navy, effect the reduction and capture of
those places. These in our hands, the navy
could enter the harbor, and the port of
Wilmington would be sealed.
Should Fort Fisher and tho point of land
on which it is built fall into the hands of
our troops Immediately on landing, it will
be worth the attempt to capture Whining
ton by forced march and surprise. If
time is consumed in gaining the first OBJ
ject of the expedition, the second will
become a matter of after consideration.
The details for their execution are entrusted
to you and the officer immediately in COM
mand of the troops, Should the troops
under General WeitzeI fail to effect land
ing at or near Fort Fisher, they will be
returned to the army operating against
Richmond without delay.

WAsHryGToS, Jan. IA.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 18Th SAYS
It was reported yesterday that Mr.. Blair
the Yankee Peace Commissioner, arrived
during the day, and had an interview with
the President and Secretary sf War. He
had not, we are assured, come 10 the CITY,
and it is untrue that the Secretary of War
has sent him pass to visit Richmond, but
We do not doubt that he is in Grants camp.
We have never yet seen any evidence
going to show that he designed coming to
the city.
A correspondent of the Richmond In
qUircr, in speaking of the furloughing of a
new regiment Of Georgia militia, sl7s
Governor Brown remarked that they could
go home now, but would remain subject to
another call when the State required their
services, which he hoped would not be soon.
All delinguents are to be tried by a militia
ry court martial, which is to sit in Macon,
and if found guilty, the pains and penal
ties of desertion would be visited upon
them.
In the Confederate House of Representa-
hves, on Wednesday, Mr.. Miles, of South
Carolina, introduced the following resolu-
tions, which were ordered to be printed:
ResoLUed, That under the Constitution
Congress alone has the right to declare war,
and the President by, and with the advice
and consent of the Senate to make q treaty
of peace.
ResolUsd, That all attempts to make
peace with the United States by the action
or Intervention of the several States COM
prising the Confederacy, are unauthorized
by the Constitution in contraVention of the
supreme law of the land, and therefore
revolutionary.

KTHREY's Speech.
FRANKFoRT. KY.. Jan. l

FRANKFORT, NY, jan Is
The speech of Hon. ". r. Kinney, be-
fore the Legislature to-day, ELECTED much
remark: He said he had heretofore sus-
tanned the legal ensctments favoring sla-
very, because he deemed slavery in some
respects beneficial to both races, although
he had never believed in the inherent
right of one man to hold another man in
bondage, but that those benefits had ceased
to occur, and the rebellion was responsible
therefor. he justified the acts of the
administration in regard to slavery, and
vindicsted the rights of the people to
amend the Constitution and abolish sls-
very, believing the Union to be the immu-
table basis Of Government, and the Con-
stitution its mutable policy, to be changed
as necessity or expediency required. he
concluded Kentucky's interests required the
proposed amendment as slavery had re-
tarded the development, and would in the
future more seriously check the advance
ment.
