day Alex. II. Stephens, R. NJ. I. Hunter
and two others reached our lines and re-
quested to come within cur lines at Fort
Hell, but were refused, and were awaiting
permission from General Grant, who was
then absent.
N.B.-I think the commissioners we're
admitted, nevertheless, and are now on
their way to Washington.
The American, of this afternoon, pub
fishes the following dispatch:
"The report has been current on the
streets, since last evening, to the effect that
the Richmond Sentinel hiss announced the
departure of three Peace Commissioners
for Washington. Up to noon to-day we
have no official confirmation of the rumor,
though the assertion has been varied this
morning by sn equally positive announce
ment that Peace Commissioners, consisting
Of the Rebel Vice President and Senators
r. N. T. Hunter and Campbell had arrived
at City Point, and were expected to reach
Annapolis today. They are not spoken Of
as Commissioners representing the rebel
government, but as citizens representing
the people on their way to Washington to
confer with President Lincoln on the sub
ject of peaco, precisely in the same cspsc-
ity that Blair visited Richmond.

BALTIMORE, Jan. 81.
A dispatch from Annapolis tonight
says there has been no arrival from James

MORE ABOUT PEACE.
The Worlds Washington letter, of the
Both, says there is more in Mr.. Blairs
mission to Richmond than the public is
ready to believe The statement that Mr..
Blair carried to and brought from the rebel
capital propositions for consideration, ifnot
terms of peace itself, is fully confirmed by
Mr.. Seward.
The terms proposed sre-on the rebel
side separation and independence-on the
part of the Federal Government, submis-
sion to Union and twill not be surpris-
ing if we have speedy news that the COM
missiOners are on their way to Washing
ton to attempt peace negotiations, upon
terms known to have been profered by
Mr.. Lincoln to Davis.

NEW YORK, Jan. 81.
The editors of the country who have con-
troll of the new patent process for making
printing paper from corn husks having
been overwhelmed with letters of inquiry
from farmers and others, give notice that
their immediate wish is to elicit informa-
tion. They desire to receive proposals
from every state, county and town in tho
United States for supplying dry and sound
husks as the same may be stripped from the
corn. The leaves of the corn are also de-
sirabls; the husks and leaves may be cut
up If more convenient, and should be de-
ivered at railroad stations well packed in
bales or bags.
The editors wish to receive proposals,
stating the quantity that will be contract
cd for, and the price per pound for one, two
or more years.

It is said that the evidence of the cession

It Is also announced that Mr.. Druyn de

asked Secretary Seward for an explanation
of the recent Congressional censure of the

regard to Mexico.
The HeraLfs correspondent, dating near
Petersburg, December %, learns that the
recent rebel ram movement on the james
was deeper in design than appeared on the
face Of it The rams were TO move down
the river just as they did to destroy our
pontoons. Signals, rockets, &c, we're to be
sent, by which means intelligence was to
be conveyed to General Lee that the pom
toon part of the business had been accom-
plished. After destroying the pontoons,
the rams were to prevent reinforcements
being sent from the south to the north side
of the james. Simultaneously with the
above, Lee was to commence a dashing
surprising attack on General Ord's lines on
the north side Of the james, having massed
a heavy force in front of them for that pur-
pose, and attempt by overwhelming num-
bers, and the suddenness and brilliRncy Of
the attack, the destruction of that part Of
