correspondent, writing from before Mobile, on
the 9th, says:
As ma ters now rest the advantages Of sit

our intentions, most Of the rebel forces de-
signed to protect the Mobile d Ohio Railroad,
and the navigation of the Alabama and Tom
hirbee rivers, are far up in the interior, or
else scattered in their endeavors to cover
vulnerable points of railroad, as to have no
great strength.
Furthermore the fear of another raid from
Vicksburg or Memphis, will not permit them
to alter the present disposition Of their troops
They cannot make movement without en-.
daugerng the communications Of Mobile.
This state Of affairs being taken advantage
of and such movements and dispositions
being made "a promise speedily TO compass the

which shows that the Committee on Foreign
Relations, TO which was referred the peace

Of sending commissioners TO sue for peace
II also shows that this action hss produced
a rupture between JEFF Davis and The Rich
mond oligarchy on one side, and Congress,
representing the people, on the other, which
is shaking the whole framework OF the CONF
iederaey.
Me. Orr declared that the people were de-
termined that ia some form, the Statesmen,

honest effort TO end the carnival OF death by
negotiation.

WAsHISGToS January 2O.-The Richmond
Examiner OF the 20ih sayt
News was unusually scarce yesterday -
There was uninterrupted telegraphic commu-
nication between Richmond aud Mobile, but
so far as we could learn, not ire OF news,
official or otherwise, was received
The report Of Seddon's retirement from the
Cabinet has not been confirmed, nor, indeed,
any Of the Iumors OF high military and 20
litical appointments circulated by sanguine
persons in the past few days
We learn hat The Secretary of War has
directed the Provost Marshal OF Fredericks-
burg to release Nj. Foote from custody Il
is uncertain wht ther he will nov proceed to
Washington or eturn TO Richmond

The Sentinel, having published m article
derouncng the peace resolutions as treason,
an exciting debate took place in the House,
in which the Sentinel was roughly handled.
jeff Davis was accused Of endeavoring to
intmidate advocates OF an honorable and
peaceful settlement Of the war
In the House, also, there was debate on
the proposed repeal Of the exemption law.
Mr. Marshall OF Kentucky was in favor Of
a clean sweep Of every man in The country.
He said the rebels had not begun to fight
yet
Others said that the country needed farm.
ers, and that the people should be divided
into soldiers aud producers
The Richmond Wing says
The proposition which came from JEFF,
Davis TO repeal the exemption law righfuliy
finds but little favor in Congress.
The Richmond Examiner suggests that all
the cotton at Wilmington he burned, rs the
port being closed, the place is no longer Of
any consequence, aud may iell into the hands
Of the enemy
The Richmond Enquirer, acknowledging
the port closed, says
Now, for the 6rst Time we are thrown upon
our own resources.
Butler could have taken It on Christmas
day, but he did not because he was afraid
1t would be folly to pretend that the port Of
Wilmington was not OF great value to our

AFTERNOON REPORT.
About sherman and the Negroes

NEw York. January 20-The Tribune's
Washington special says:
One Of the results OF Secretary Stanton
visit to Savannah, is to solve doubt as to
the sOundness OF Gen. Sherman on the negro
question. This soldiers views and policy are
those of the Government His treatment OF
the negroes of Savannah has inspired them
with confidence, and they rely on him wholly.
He has borne on his heart great burthen
for the benefit OF their race in Georgia; and
il is understood here that the country will be
electrified, in a iew days, by an order from
him, portioning among them the abandoned
Sea Island property OF fugitive rebel planters,
and establishing them in their new frerholds,
and laying the foundation Of new social
condition in the South, whose supersiructure
but few politicians ia the country are now
permitted clearly to see.
BLAIR GOES BACK TO MCHMoND-MoRE ABOUT
PEACE.
The Herald Washington special says
+. p. Blair, Sr will start for Richmond
again 10 morrow.
Since his return he has been in frequent
and and close consultation with the President
and other leading members OF the Admins
tration, but what the character OF his conver-
sation has been, or with what authority he is
nov clothed, is as yet unknown
That be should SO soon return is indicative
Of his having been charged with some com
munication by NJ. Davis, the tenor OF which
has not been made public, aud which, in con
necton with the successes achieved by our
forces since his interview with the rebel Exc
cutive, and the evident disinclination of the
mass Of the Southern people TO continue the
war, induces a belief on the part OF the Ad.
mnisiration that the resources Of statesman
ship may now be usefully employed 10 con.
neetion with vigorous prosecution Of mill.
tary and naval operations, to bring about a
Termination Of the existing difficulties At
all events il is certain that be returns at once

This would indicate that BlaiF's first mis-
sion was more successful than was allowed to

Who IS RIoHT Eds Empire Having
come in contact with some Of the SUPERFICIAL
citizens o! Greene county, dispute arose
concerning the word License, as it cceurs in
the IHternal Revenue law. j took the position
that the legal right, or power, to grant Ii,
csnse implies the right and power, legally TO
withhold privilege. Thus, Congress passed
law compelling inksepers and groeers to
pay license to sell liquor or ardent spirits
by the small quaniity-so also lawyers must
pay license to practice law. Now, il Con-
gress has the power to license lawyers and
liquor dealers in Ohio, to fellow their vOca
tions, Congress must also have power TO pro-
hibit the practice Of law, or sale OF liquor 10
Ohio This pOiOer s not vested in Congress
Congress, OF the legislative branch OF Gov
ernment, may tax professions and trade but
cannot legally grant license nor ye. prohibit
the practice Of professional men, or trade IN
common, in Ohio. This Is my position Ny
opponents claim that the National LegislA-
ture san grant license, legally, 10 Ohio, anC
prevent men from following any business
unless they take out license. We have no
agreed, but agreed 10 disagree win you, O
