Enemy on the Vaughan Road.

Vaughn road and seized the crossing at
Hatcher's run, driving back oT pickets

mill and the crossing above, holding
both boints with infantry, while their
cavalry swept around our forces and adj
vanced on Dinwiddie Court House. Gen
w. Fl Lee met their advance there, and
after sharp engagement drove them
back
At the same time the enemy made de
monsGrations at other points on our
right, but were ably repulsed. The ell
emy fell oack beyond Hatcher's run
The enemy extended but did not adj
vance their line They captured few
and lost some prisoners. They also took
several forage wagons
Our latest Georgia dates state that
there are from 1000 to 5000 OF the enemy
at Pascagoula, with strong intrench-
ments. The intrenchments are TO secure
them from movements from this side, or
it NAV he to form a camp and gather
supplies and be ready for operations on
the opening of the campain. 1t was cur.
rently reported that Sherman army had
made a lodgment on the railroad be-

The Late Peace Conference
Rebel Press on Submission.
Jed. Davis Communicates 10 the
Rebel Congress on ihe Late Meetins
in Hampton Roads-Opinion OF the
Rebels on the Constitutionai Amend
ynPnf
Press Dispatch. ]


New YORK, Feb. 9.-The Tribune's
Washington special says a telegram has
been received here from the Army OF the
Potomac reporting message from Jeif'
Davis to the Confederate Congress,
communicating the result of the recent
peace conference in Hampton Roads
II states i'm substance that President
Lincoln refused an armistice OF any
length of time, refused recognition either
of the Confederacy or any OF the States
which compose it, refused independence,
and only conceded mercitul and lioeral
use by himself of the pard0ning power;
During the con fereHce. he communicated
the passage by. Congress, OF the amend
msrt of the Constitution aDolishlhs
slavery throughout the United States
and declared that the question o1slavery
was wholly removed from the controi el
the executive, and placed beyond nego
tiation. 1t is thought here that this
version of the conference will strengthen
Mr. Lincoln even more than his own his
tory of il, to be sent into the House
probably tomorrow. -,
The Richmond Enquirer OF the oth
saws submission, abolition and recon,
struction were the only terms that could
be- cot oat of Lincoln and Seward by
their peace commissioners. Hence the
South has only to fight. 1t says the re-
suit will have the effect to unite the peo-
ple more closely and stronger than ever.
If defeated and destroyed, those who
survive will have nothing worse TO sub
init to than is now demanded by the en-
envy
The Sentinel says the South has been
insulted. 1t regards the passage OF the
constitutional amendment as an outrage
and upturning of the several instltu-
tions of the South and robbing its citl-
zens Lincoln's propositions were that
the South should lay down their arms
and dispose of their homes, and he would
appoint for the Confederate States Mar
shals, District Attorneys and Judges for
United States Courts, that in executing
the confiscation law, he would do 1t as
consistently as possible, that he would
treat neither with the Confederate
States, nor any State separately, that he
will listen to nothing short of recon-
structiou and submission to the Constl-
tuition and laws under it, that the slav-
cry question was disposed of, and not
now to be discussed Gov. Smith, of Va,
calls meeting to respond to Lincolns
answer to the rebel commissioners. The
Sentinel endorses the call and says: Let
us put our heel on Lincoln's insolent IN
suit, and return defiance to his menaces'

MARTIxsvILLE, Ohio, Feb. o
To the Editor Of the Commercial
have read with much interest an arti-
Gle, apparently editorial, in your issue OF
February lst, headed Petroleum, where
it is, and what it is" That article con-
taius much which | think is erroneous,
and much that is true, and looking more
nearly in the right direction for the on
gin of this important production Of
the earth, than anything have else
where seen published on the subject, from
the fancies in the Ahantie Monthly TO the
crude ideas which we find in many peri
odicals of less scientific pretensions-
Some of the statementsyou give for facts
touching the typographical basin having
IFS centre about Pittsburg, think very
erroneous, and calculated TO mislead the
public as to the localities of the oil de-
posits
You Will pardon me if iregard the to-
biography of the country even correctly
represented, as having Of itself little to
do with the locality of oil. 1t originates
and exists in the rocky structure of this
portion Of the earth's crust, and its orgln
and locality depend upon the position
and mineralogical character OF that
alone.
Ipropose to give you my own views on
the subject, hoping that, if not wholly
