Awning the Slaves,


~ We make the following extract from the message
Of Gov Vance to the Legiilaturs in November last,
on the subject Of arming the slaves:i s''' =. :.
Under no circumstances would consent to
see them armed, whic. would regard ss not only
dangerous; 10 tho Rxtpme but - less degrading
only than their employment in this capacity BY our
the Confederate government (Which in conscience
should be done if they fought in eur armies) re:
gard it Is entirely out Of the question Iimagins
that such On idea Is aboishing slzveEy by the gen.
eral government advocated fgs tysass ago would
have made people stare. and caused some Little ex-
element This course would, it seems to me, surren
der the entire question which has ever separa;e Cd
the North from the South would stultify ourselves
In the eyes Of the world and rendsro on whole rev.
man life. Ineed not alluds at all 70 tka;constitu-
>tionsl question involved which / presume must be
UNDERWOOD by this time. Our Independence, I im.
agine, is chiefly desirable for the preservation of
our great institutions, the principal of which Is
slavery; and it is only to be won by the blood Of
white freemen. The slave, however, should GER
tainly be made to do his part As non combatant."
This is sound doctrine. If the Governor will
stand to it. We will support him to that extent cheer
fully and firmly. We never permit our personal
feelings 70 interfere With our public duties. And
if the Congress- should pass law to emancipate
and arm the slaves, without the consent of the
States, and should thus not only trample on the
Confederate Constitution ard on the States, but
disorganize and totally destroy Southern society
and if the Governor should thereupon convene the
Legislature in special session, and recommend q
Convention, We now assure hin that We will sus-
tain him IN such course, and commend him for
his efforts to carry out the wishes of our people,
Will the Governor do thisi Will he stand by and
see the slaves armed and do nothing to prevent it
Is he prepared to carry this revolution when he
sees it must be "nugatory to urge it
still further, will be, he has already declared ga
mere objectess waste of human life!" For "nug.
atory" 1t must be, and "a mere waste of human
life it must be- if the institution for the preserva
ton ofwhich our Independence is "cheay desirable
should be destroyed, whether by our own hands OF
by the hands of the enemy. Is not that 80, Gov
ernor?

recusant white conscripts to the ranks what would
be necessary to put the negroes in service and keeE

SIR Under your letter of appointment - Com.
missoners on the aSth We proceeded to seek an in
fuEmsf conibrs6oe with Abraham Lincoln, Prcsi-
dent Of the United States, upon the subject men,
TONED in your letter. Ths conference was granted
and took place on the s0th, on board the steamer
anchored in Hampton Roads, where We met Presi-
dent Lincoln and Hon. Mr.. Seward, Secretary of
State Of the United States. It continued for several
hours and was both full and explicit. We learned
from them that message of President, Lincoln to
the Congress Of the United States, in December last
explains clearly and distinctly his sentiments as to
terms, conditions, and modes of proceeding, by
which peace conld be secured to the people; and We
were not informed that they would bs modified or
altered to obtain that end. We understood from
him that no terms, or proposals of any agreement
looking to an ultimate settlement would be enter
tanned or made by him. with the Confederate States
because that would be . recognition of their exis
tence ss . separate power, which under no circum-
stances would be done, and for like results that no
such terms would be entertained by him from States
separately. That no extended truce or armistice,
as advised, would be granted or allowed, without
satisfactory assurance of the complete restoration
Of the authority of the constitution and laws of the
United States, over oil places within the States of
the Confederacy.
That whatever consequences may follow from the
re.sstabishment of that authority must be accept.
cd, without regard to the rights Of Individuals who
may be subject to the pains and penalties, under
the laws of the United States But that all such
might rely upon very liberal use of the power
confded to the President to remit these pains and
penalties, if peace were restored.
During the conference, the proposed amendments
to the constitution as adopted by Congress on the
| Slst were brought to our mind. These amend
ments provided that neither slavery nor involuna.
ry sersitude except for crime should exist within
the United States any place within their jursdc-
t ton; and Congress- should have power to enforce
the amendments by appropriate legislation.

ference herein mentioned, and leading to the same
you have herewith been informed
/ Very respectfully,

ference at Fortress Monroe special dispatch to
the Times says, that Lincoln informed the Commis.
sionsrs that recognition utterly out of the ques
tion-that the United States could stop the war
only on condition that the authority of the national
government should be recognized and obeyed over
the whole territory Of the United States.- This
point conceded, he assured them that upon every
other matter Of difference they would be treated
with the utmost liberality. -
Another telegram says that Stephens was the
most liberal of tho rebel deputation. His theory
was that if We could but treat with them - an in.
dependent nation, that such an agreement could be
had Is could unite the North and South. A Aspscisl
dispatch to the Tribune says, that Stephens sur
passed his old exhibitions Of shrewdness force and
tact in stating ths demands Of the Confedsracy.
=, At the conclusion Of ono of his points, Lincoln
swung forward and interrupted him with, "that
reminds me of the story Of man in Illinois" The
Commissioners instantly jumped up in roar Of
merriment After the story was through, Stephens
resumed and pursued to the end his statement Of
the terms on which he thought the rebels would be
willing to stop the war. He proposed and urged
his crafty scheme of temporary recognition, but on
recognition absolutely temporary, the three Com
missoners stood like rocks. Tbs result of the con-
