The g.air Peace Mlssiop.
From fht Ny. Tribune, Dec. 1.


Our special Waa.hiugton dispatches
give. we ave no doubt, along with many
bits of idle gossip. the true explanation OF
Mr. F. p. Blair's ahortive mission toward
Richmond. The cis, of the matter Is,
that Mr. Blair. believing that he might.
by visiting Richmond, pave Tie way TO
i1st and lasting pacificauon OF the country,
proposed to 90 there, and the president,
while he declined 70 give the visit an off
cIal character, saw no reason for prevents
ing it. Mr.. Blair. accompanied 10y his
son Montgomery, accordingly repaired to
Gen. Grants headquarters before Rich
mond but was not permrttei 10 proceed
farther. because the secretary Of war, be-
leving no good could he ELECTED by his
proposed conference with the confederate
chiefs, saw fit TO intimate TO Gen. Grant
that he did not approve Mr.. Blair's pro-
ceeding, not believing that it could result
in any nood which Gen. Grant very mats
urally interpreted as hint from his I'M
mediate superior not to allow Mr.. BLAIR
to pass lis lines an his way to Richmond.
Mr.. Blair has thereupon returned, per
force, to Washington.
Assuming this to be substantially the
truth of the matter, we carnot doubt that
majority Of the American people will
rerret Mr., Stanton's decision. We do not
know. and have at no time felt confident.
that the rebels are yet prepared to agree
to any terms of pacitication that our gov
ernment either would or should deem ac-
cepiable: but we can imagine no possible
harm tha, could result from ascertalnlng
precisely wha, ;hey are ready to do. Tie
recognized object Of war, At least among
civilized and christian nations, is an hon
orable an1 satisfactory peace; and how
are We TO know when this end has been
rendered st,an:.ble unless we take some
mears to ascertain An established
rigLtfuily constituted government, COM
ba,inr an armed ard menacirg rebellion,
should strain every rerye to overcome at
the earliest moment the resistance 1t en-
couGteis, and should not merely welcome
but seek satisfactory (howevef lntoFmaD
assurances that It's end has been attalne Ell.

The Wilmington Expedition.

Ne" lOTR, Jan. /
The " ilmington correspondent Ct he
Richmond UiSpntch says, that our force
were a, one time between Fort Fisher and
Wilmington, cutting off communications
both by land and water; if they had not
been dl,lodced Fort / isher would have fall
len, as Fort Morgan did, and with its fall
the faie Of Wilmington would have been
sealed.
The Iribune'S Norfolk correspondent
say the military authorities expected i'or-
ter would run the gauntlet and get IN tie
rear of the fort on Cape Fear rlyer, a. d,
with The fort, cat of Wilmington, and thus
shut az the rlrer.
When on the ground, the admiral was

of the fort by brave officer, and the DIS
patch bearer was shot one>thEd Of "A mile

w hie :he transports were awaiting for

Credits on Quotas.

Provost Marshal General Fry has writ
ten letter to New York city, explaining
the rule adopted by the department for
allowing credits upon quotas for excesses
furnished under previous calls.
The New York World states that "the
manner in which he credits have been
ascertained seems 10 be this: Quotas are
made up on the basis of call for aigh.
hundred thousand men including the las,
two calls, one for FIVE hundred thousand
and the other for three hundred thousand
men. from which is deducted the number
furnished under the call for five huLdred
thousand the difference being the number
required under the present call for three
hundred thousand soldiers. The govern
ment is determined to obtain 800 600 ad-
ditional troops, and 10 iha. end will al
low credits fer 10 more than 100000
men"
The process Of ascertaning quotas and
crediting excesses on account Of men fur
ni.hed for two aud three years, is peculiar.
The quota for each sub-district is found by
the rule Of three, thus applied; As the
whole number enrolled in any congres,
.ional district is 10 The quota of the dis
uict under the present call, with excess
added, so is the numher enrolled in any
sub district to the quota Of each sub dis
trict. From tie quota OF each sub dis
trict, It's excess is then 10 he deducted.
The excess for each suJ-dlstiict, is found
bv first ascertaiuing The wears Of service
contributed by each u5-district under the
ca. Of last summer, and then deductiug
from the result The ac,uaI number Of men
furnished. We hope our readers viii
study tbs rule until they fully comprehend
lis practical operation. We prophecy
,ha, many Of the towns and wards vii he
surprised when the draft comei at the
contrast between the figures o: The mar
shal and her own.
