CHARLESTON DEspONpENT,

A letter to the Richmond Dispatch, dated at
Charleston, January 10th, says:
The cradle OF rebellion, the 'hot-bed of Sc
eesslon, as the Yankees were wont te designate
the town, and as the Charlestonians themselves
were glad to have it designated, no longer pre-
seRts the bold front with which it entered upon
the conflict. / do not mean to insinute that the
people of Charleston are caDvassing the proprie-
ty OF abandoning the contest, and drumming up
the white flag in the place of the Southern Cross
Far from It, ] do mean to say, however, that
the city abounds with prophets of evil with
croakers, with fault-finders with speculators
who, having amassed large fortunes, are anxious
to save them, even if the Conefderacy should fall
and with persons who, the moment a reverse
occurs, run up and down the Streets saying to
every passer-by, Il told you so; the President
should not have done this; the President should
not have done that; we must have change of
rulers or we are lost; let us try dictator y
Men who would not stop to count the cost four
years ago, and who did more than all others to
inaugurate the secession movements, now hint
at another revolution!'

Peace Commissioner from Richmond.

The Richmond Sentinel of January 29th states
that A H. Stephens, Vice President of the reb-
el Confederacy, Senator R. NJ. T. Hunter of
Va. and James A. Campbell, left that city on
the 2Sth, on their way to Washington, to confer
with President Lincoln on the subject of peace.
This step, it says, was induced by the assurance
of Mr.. Blair that such visit would be agreea-
bic to him These agents were selected by JEFF
Davis, and come under his sanction, although
their action will be informal and preliminary.
From Grant army we learn that these Com
missioners appeared on our lines but were de-
Iayed in consequence of some misunderstand-
ing on the part of military authorities there,
but they were expected to reach Washington
Yesterday. This is the substance of the tele-
graphic dispatches in tlie natter.

The House passed the Senate bill to provide
a fund for the payment of the amount due from
the several counties of this State for subsist-
ence furnished to encampments under the Mil
itia Law of 1863
Some discussion was had on a report of the
committee recommending an indefinite post
ponement of the bill TO increase the fees of Pro-
bate Judges The friends OF the bill succeeded
in obtaining its reference to a select committee
of five.
The Senate joint resolutions of thanks to Ohio
soldiers was adopted.
The Committee ON Judiciary reported in ia
vOr ofthe indefinite pOstponement of the bill au-
thorizing divorces TO be granted in cases "where
husband or wife remains in Dixie and adheres
to the rebellion" Probably the Committee
agreed with the chairman of former committee
who, reporting upon a similar proposition, ex-
pressed the fear that such law would result in
causing stampede of unfaithflll spouses to reb-
eldom in order to ma ke sure of divorce
Mr.. Mayo, one of the most active denizens of
the South Carolina corner, offered the following
resolution:
ResOtUed blythe GeiterdI assembly Of the State
OF Ohio: That so much of the gold now in the
State treasury viii pay the members of the
General Assembly their per diem and mileage,
be appropriated for that purpose. Resolution
laid on the table.
Had Union member offered the above, how
the democratic" journals of the land would
have howled over the charge of having one cur
rency for the Office holders and another for the
people.
Men who came to the Capital to legisate are
not free from the misfortunes which everywhere
beset this race. A day or two since Mr.. Lock
wood, one of the members from Cuyahoga coun-
ty, was called home by dispatch announcing
the robbery of his store the preceding night
To-day Mr.. Bradbury, the member from Gallia
county was called home by letter informing
him that his dwelling house and the entire con-
tents had been consumed by fire and with If.

RFTALIATION.

A bill has passed the United States Senate,
and is now pending in the House, TO retaliate
ON the rebels for the barbarities they are prac-
ticing upon our prisoners. We wonder how
the rebel prisoners in our hands will relish to
be put in an open field without barracks or tents,
without blankets, and givens little corn meal
with teaspoonful of salt every other day, and
a little putrid meat twice week? 1t appears
that nothing else will have any effect upon the
miserable democrats that now rule at Richmond.

The Storm Gathering in North Carolina.
ErnnAh Mazrhnrr nas


There are the strongest reasons for believing
that the storm Is at least being raised in the in-
terror OF this State, which must ere long even
tute IN her deliverance from the remorseless
jaws ofthe Richmond despotism. Refugees are
pouring in and they all bring in one uniform
story of suffering and destitution, and the most
unmiugated oppression and tyranny ever inflic-
ted upon any people since the reign of those
monsters IN human shape, in old Rome, Caligu-
La and N ero Some are ready to seek refugee
by proceeding North at once, while others are
willing to "bide their time by remaining among
US. All Join in heaping imprecations on the
infamous rule of Davis and his wicked Cocoon
spiratoIs. A real genuine Union feeling is
strengthing and increasing in every town in al
most every quarter of the State. 1t will vet
oyerwhelm and crush the contemplate despots
DOW engaged with the desperation of demons in
trying TO keep 1t down. Many refugees now
/ looked forward to the Joyous hour when they
can return back again to their old homes, under
the protecting folds of the stars aud striprs.-
With the political and social redemption of
North Carolina, will come that other long look
ed for blessings universal and conditional eman-
cipation. Old shareholders! do you hear this?

South Carolina Refugees Flying to Georgia.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist, Jan. IS.
For several days the streets of this city have
been thrOnged with fugitives from South Caro-
lima, accompanied by their families, focks, herds,
cattle and stock of all kinds, There seems to be
general exodus from the old Palmetto State,
and the planters, in the district of Barnwell es-
pecialy are fleeing from what they perceive to be
"the wrath TO come" Safety and security from
the inrOads OF the Yankees are being sought in
the interior of Georgia. This movement is not
predicted upon slavish fear, but it is in accor-
dance with the orders of Governor Magrath, who
was directed by the Legislature of South Caro-
lima to move all property from certain section
of the State most liable to interruption by the
enemy. As matter of precaution it is very
commendable and the deserted country that
viii be presented to Gen. Sherman will at once
embarrass his movements and attest the self-de-
nying patriotism of the Carolians.
