FORTRESS MONROE, April 1G, 1865.
Lie1t. General U. s. Grant, Commanding U.
S. Army
GENERAL-You willappreciate, I am sure,
the sentiment which prompts me to drop
which could hefall the Southern people, OF
any Southern man, by far the greatest, in
my Judgment, would be the idea that they
could entertain any other than feelings O
unqualified adherence and indignation fol
the assassination of the President of the
United States and the attempt to assassinate
the Secretary of State. No language can
adequately express the shock produced up
on myself, in common with all the General
officers confined here with me, by the oc-
currence of this appalling crime, and by
the seeming tendency in the public mind
to connect the Southern men with it. Need
we say that we are no assassins, nor the allies
Of assassins, be they from the North or from
the South; and that, coming,as we do, from
most of the States of the South, we would
be ashamed of our own people, were we moi
assured they would reprobate this crime
Under these circumstances, could not re-
frain from some expression of my feelings
thus utter them to a soldier who will COM
prehend them.
The following officers Major General
Edward Johnston, of Virginia, and Ker-
shaw, of South Carolina; Brigadier Generals
Barton, Corse, Hunton and Jones, Of Vir-
ginia; Dubois, Semmes and II. II. Jackson
of Georgia; Frazier, of Alabama; Smith and
Gordon, of Tennessee; Cabel, of Arkansas
Marmaduke, of Missouri, and Commodore
Tucker, of Virginia-all heartily concur
with me in what L have said.
Respectfully, &c. '.'.'

0blo Statesman,
From The Indianapolis Sentinell
A New Peace Negotiation.

The Detroit Free Press comments as fol-
lows upon the recent peace negotiations OF
one of Indiana's Major Generals: The Gal
UeStOn Ne,cs, rebel sheet, published in
Texas, contains some very curious informa-
tion about Gen. Lew. Wallace, commander
at Baltimore. 1t appears that in March he
had Gen. Grants permission to leave his
post for the benefit of his health, and that
he selected Point Isabel, Texas, to ruralizC
in. On arriving there. he at once opened
communication with Gen. Slaughter the
rebel commander at Brownsville, for the
purpose OF negotiating q separate peace
with Texas, offering terms that might be
satisfactory to the rebels of the so-called
Trans Mississippi department., Wallace
cOolly assuring Slaughter that "Grant would
indorsc whatever arrangements he might
enter into" and that "Lincoln would do
whatever Grant would advise"
The comprehensive mind of General
Wallace did not stop at this free and easy
re-adjustment of our domestic relations.
He also laid down chart tor our future
Texas policy, to carry out which, General
Slaughter and the Texas rebels were in
vitedt assist. This programme, it tappears,
embraced determination on the part OF
the United States Government, to enforce
the Monroe doctrine; to refuse to recognize
the Government of MaXimilian in Mexico,
to aid theJuarez party, and in the end to
place Mexico under the protection of the
United States. The rebel General seems to
have thought that this was cutting out too
much work for the "Lone Star" and hence,
after good deal more palaver on both
sides, Wallace was given to understand,
that as in obedience to instructions from
Slaughter's superior office, Maj. Gen. Wal
kerr the negotiations were not only at an
end, but that he, Wallace, had better return
to his own country as soon as possible, with
the assurance that Texas and the Trans
Mississippi department would remain with
the rest of the Contederacy to the end.
Whether Gen. Wallace at once obeyed
the recommendation of his adversary, we
are not told, but we know that he has since
returned to his command in Baltimore.
The NeW York Herald in commenting on
this bit of history, says that the real point OF
these curious evelations-curious if true
consists in this-that while Gen. Sherman's
''treaty" arrangement with Johnston is in
dignantly repudiated by the War Depart
ment, Gen. Wallace's attempt at something
like similar arrangement off in Texas,
seems to have been undertaken, on the con-
trary, by authority.

The Cotton Now in ,he South

The New York Journal of Commerce makes
the following remark on the probable
amount of cotton now on had in the South !:
We have been repeatedly asked to give
some information in relation to the amount
of cotton on hand at the South. The diff
ficulty in forming an approximate estimate
has arisen mainly from the impossibility of
ascertainingto to what extent the actual yield,
since the war began, has been shipped in
evasion of the blockade. The Texas cotton,
and nearly all produced west of the Mis-
sissippi, has been passing, as fast as itcould
be hauled on wagons, to the sea-board by
Mexican ports. A considerable portion of
Louisiana and Tennessee has been cleaned.
Notwithstanding the high prices here and
abroad, there has been very little induce
ment to Southern planters to cultivate this
crop. 1t has been absolutely impossible
for them to find rope and bagging to pre-
pare the cotton for market after it, was
picked, or to transport it to any place of
sale. and the local authorities have used
every means in their power to compel the
landowners to raise cereals in place of the
great staple. Since the fall of Mobile we
have been able to extend our researches at
the South, and we have now obtained what
we consider reliable data tor a fair estimate
of the quantity of cotton still on hand
within the so-called Southern lines. We
place the whole amount as equal to 1,500-
900 ordinary bales. Some of it is in the
seed, and large quantity is still unpacked
for want of the proper material and facili-
ties. Our Mobile correspondent figures the
total at 1,S00,000 bales, but some of his as
sumptions are in excess of known results,
and we are confident that our estimate is
very close to the actual stock.

PARTIES who have been through Georgia

that the destitution prevailing in that coun-
try is truly appalling. What few inhabit-
ants remain there are almost starved to
death, and for want of animals it is impos-

any crops.-L Louisville Journal. &, ,sas 4,
