New York, Jan. 20.
Richmond papers contain . debate in
the rebel Congress which shows that the
committee IN foreign relations, TO which
was referred the pesce propositions, re-
ported unanimously in favor of sendiog
commissioners to sue for peace. Il also
shows that this action has produced rup-
tare between JEFF. Davis and the Rich.
mond oligarchy on one side and 0Dngress
representing the people on the other, that
is shaking the whole framew work of the
Confederacy.
Mr.. Orr declared that the people were
determined that, in some form, the states
manship Of the country should be invok-
ed in an honest effort to end this caYni-
val OF death by negotiation.
The debate is the most important which
has occurred during the war.
Richmond papers are again abusing
JEFF. Davis, Gen. Bragg and all others ex-
cept Lee, for allowing Fort Fisher to fall.
They again call for Lee as Dictator.
The aentinel having published % akti-
ele denouncing the peace resolunops as
treason, an exciting debate took place in
the House, sis which the Sentinel vas
roughly handled. jeff Davis wss aceus-
ed of endeavoring to intimidase the advo-
Gates of an honorable and peacefal ssttle.
nent of the war.
10 the House, also, there was debate
on the proposed repeal Of the exemption
Law. As
Marshall, OF KY, was in favor of I
clean sweep Of every mau ia che confed
eracy. He said the rebels had not begun
to fight yet.
Others said the country needed farmerl
and that ths psople should be- divided 10.
TO soldiers and producers.
The Richmond Wing says the pfoposi
tion which came from JET Davis TO re
peal the exemption law rightfulIy findl
but little favor in Congress.
The Richmond Examiner suggests tha
all the cotton At Wilmiogton IS burned
% the port being closed the place il y,
longer Of any copssqussce and may fal
into the snemy's hsuds.
The Richmood Enquirer acknowledges
tho port closed aud says;
Now, for the first tine. We are throws

1t would be folly 70 pretend that th'

Threniencd Negro lnsnrrection in the
island of Cuba Ala rming PrevR-
Ieucc Of Iucendiary Fires.

From the Jamaica IOlouliI ollhhdlu'I
From a conversation which we have
had with a gentleman who returned L"
this ,ity from Cuba in the Jamaica
packet. we learn that matters IN Cuba
lad begun to assume "a very threatening
aspect. There was evidently deep and
hitter feeling of revenge slu,nbcrIng
uronp the negroes, which only awaited
a favorable moment to burst forth with
immeasurable fury. Already had sever
nj estates been burnt by the torch OF the
inccndiary, and so deep and silent was
the plot which had been laid tor carry
inc ont the acts of the inCendlarism,
that no clue to tho perpetrators had as
vet been discovered.
Al Guantanamo, where the first two
fires occurred, an oNerS"-r ot a large
property had been murdered. and two
companies of troops had been sent thith-
er from ST Jago in order to repreSs any
