CITY Po1Nr. Jan. 23.-One OF my staff

New York, Jan. 24.-The Times spe-
cial dispatch says, peace rumors increase in
numbers and extravaganza, and are with
out any substantial foundation. Blair
brought letter from jeff. Davis saying
that whenever the United States would
receive commissioners from Confederate
States they would be appointed. On his
return to Richmond, Blair took letter
with the repeated assurance of the Presi-
dent ntained in the, document, address
ed: "To whom it may concern" Blair
has no authority to intimate in any way
that the Government will open negotia-
tons that will imply the existence of the
Confederate government.
Probable Evacuation Of Charleston.
The Worlds Savannah letter says all
business has been suspended in Charles
ton. Non-combatalts were preparing to
leave. Comparatively few troops were

Sherman's advance. There appears to be
no doubt that Charleston will be evacu-
ated. The only opposition Sherman will
meet may be expected at Branchville.
