in going distance Of about 900 miles,
With scarcely any food and nothing to

From an interview with Mrs. Foote it
! appears that her husband resigned his
seat at the time it was so reported; that
the rebel Congress is slavishly subseryi-
ent to Davis; that when bills meet with
opposition tho majority 90 into secret
session and rush them through; THAT the
character of the war has been changed by
Davis, and is now carried on for his OVID
purposes; that unless it can be carried on
to suit him and his school of politicians
! he will carry it on more bloody and bar
barous than ever; that the contractors do
not desire termination of The war, and
are doing everything to continue it; that
the great mass of the people want to
come back into the Union under the
Constitution, but are restrained by mill
tary power, and as the freedom Of the
press in this particular is entirely gone
there is DO way for them to express their
views. It was for the purpose Observing
these people that Mr.. Toote endeavored
to reach Washington. Mrs. Foote says
that those who serve with the Richmond
Junta live as we'll as ever, being supplied
with all luxurics at comparatively small
cost, as government pays the expense.
