A Disgrace TO American Civilization.

A few days since a large and enthusiastic
meeting was held in Philadelphia to take meas
ures TO secure the freedom of the street cars to
colored Americans. In the course of the meet
ting of the speakers told the following story:
Nearly three years ago-during the gloom
lest days OF the war-the nation was electrified
and delighted by news of bold deed done for
freedom in Charleston harbor. An engineer of
rebel steamer, with a heart true TO liberty and
TO our national flag, boldly conceived the idea of
capturing the vessel and transferring her and
her sable crew to the feet of Commodore Du-
pont. then blockading that port. The feat was
brilliantly executed as it was bravely underta-
ken. Just as the guns of the Onward were
about pouring broadside into her, her white
flag was seen, and her character discovered
Robert Small was the hero of the hour. His
name and his gallant behavior were themes of
universal praise. The press of the country eu-
logized him; Congress passed resolutions in his
favor, and voted him handsome reward. Rob-
est Small was retained as engineer of his steam
er-the Planter-and the vessel did good service
for the country. In the process of events the
white captain of the Planter having shown the
white feather, Robert Small, the black engineer,
was made commander in his place. As such
he came to this city, bringing his ship with him,
to undergo repairs at our navy yard One day
that man ,oaS turned out Of our street cars because
OF his complexion, as he and his pilot, white
man. were going to their vessel

The Peace Question.

NEW \ DIRK, January 19.-The Richmond
Examiner of the 10th says: The rumors
concerning the nature of the paper negoti-
ations old Blair carries back with him, are
very numerous, and we are confidently as
surcd that the mission has brought the
peace question to point that provides for
the appointment of commissioners from
either side, with authority to lay peace
foundation. That is all.
The Wing of the 10th says it is under
stood that Blair had private and confiden-
tial interview with the President. He
came in no official capacity, and had no of
ticial Intercourse with any member of the
Government. The belief, in well informed
circles, is that this interview may lead to a
conference between authorized agents or
commissioners of the two Governments. 1t
is known that President Davis will permit
no obstacle of form to stand in the way of
sending or receiving commissioners.
Mr.. Blair was handsomely entertained
during his sojourn in Richmond. We are
assured that the report is true that Presi-
dent Davis has sent an autograph letter to
Mr.. Blair, expressing his willingness to
send or receive commissioners authorized
to negotiate peace. 1t is understood that
MIR. Blair told the President that he came
In no official character, but simply with the
knowledge and consent of Mr.. Lincoln.
He expresses the opinion that Mr.. Lincoln
would certainly appoint commissioners to
meet commissioners appointed by our Pres
iQent

Meeting of the Canadian ParIia-
ment-TheG Governors speech.

QUEBEC, Jan. 19.-Parliament opened
to-day. The Governor, in his opening
speech, congratulates the House on the
general prosperity and contentment of the
people, and the continuance of peace. RE-
ierrlng to outrages committed on the com
merce and territory of the United States by
persons who have sought refuge on Cana
dlan soll, he says: In order to prevent Or
gahiIatlon OF such enterprises within the
provinces, and to enable me to discharge
eiiectually my duties towards neighbori9g
and friendly powers, | have seen lit to or.

with persons, who will avail them
selves OF the rightof an asylum always al
lowed on British soil to political refugees.
who may be nnmindful of the implied oh,
legations which, by residence amongst us,
they contract, to obey the laws and respect
the policy of the sovereign. A bill framed
Tor this purpose will be laid before the
House, and ask early consideration. The
governor congratuEates the House ON the
zeal shown by volunteers, and asks a vote
Tor supplies and necessary expenditures.
ne INFORMS the House that the financial Leg
lslation of last session has been attended
with successful results, and the revenue Is
largely increased and trade extended.
IN regard to the confederation, he saws
circumstances afford opportunity of not
merely settling the question of provincial
politics, but the simultaneous creation of a
new nationality. Parliamentary negotia-
tons were opened by Governors of other
provinces, and the result was a meeting in
Quebec, comprised of delegates of all the
colonies and with thesanction of the Crown.
Ihe conference came to the conclusion of a
Federal Union on feasible and desirable
plan OF constitution. The proposed union
embodied series of resolutions, which.
with other papers relating to the subject,
VIII be laid before the House. The general |
plan is cordially approved by the Imperial
Government, and Imperial sanction will be |
given.
Ihe Governor says, in commenting on
tllis subject, the Importance of which il is |
impossible to exaggerate: 1t now remains
10 decide whether this district of country
be consolidated into a State within its area |
OF national greatness, or whether the seve-
raj provinces remain in their present frag- |
mentary, Isolated condition, and powerleSs |

ing proper share of Imperial responsible
ity.
The House adjourned till Monday, when
the consideration of the case will be taken
up.

The President CIOsctcd-Thc Stu.
HfiOm I'm the Southwest.

NEW YORK, January 19-The Tribune's
Washington special says the President has
been cioseted all day, denying himself to
all comers. 1t is whispered that two Ala
banla peace ENJOYS had an audience, and
that the President was giving his mind to
the endeavor, from both sides of the line of
war, to bring about settlement.
The same special also says the Govern
ment expects news of more and most i'm
portant successes hourly.
The Times Washington special says Gen.
Thomas has written letter to the War De-
partment giving very encouraging view
OF military affairs in the Southwest. He
says that Hood cannot gather an army of
10000 men. and that the South is practically

Richmond Papers ON the Fall of
Fort Observation-Disclosures APP
pointed Secretary Of War-NEr.
Foote's Case.

|
New YORK, January ia Fortress
Monroe correspondent says the Raleigh
| Whig comes out openly for reconstruction,
owing to intestine troubles. The interior
of the State is filled with deserters and out
laws, and the State militia have thrown
| away their arms and gone home.
The following is from the Richmond Dis
patch of the 18th inst.
The fall of Fort Fisher, we presume,
| closes the port of Wilmington. 1t COM
mands the main entrance to the Cape Fear
River, and will, we fear, enable the enemy
to blockade the river completely, giving
them, as it does, secure lodgment on the
left bank. Fort Caswell and several other
works still guard the southern channel of
the river. Fort Fisher is 30 miles below
Wilmington. Some regard the fall of Fort
Fisher as disaster, while many are dis
posed to consider it blessing in disguise.
The latter, who are, it must be said. a nu-
merous and sensible class, contend that
Wilmington, as q sea port, has from the be-
ginning done us more harm than good. They
say the goods imported there have been of
little value to us, while millions of dollars
worth of our cotton has thence found its
way to the hlnds of our enemies. 1t is
proper to add, that possibly our force, which,
according to General Lees dispatch, was
making heavy demonstration in their rear,
may retake the fort.
1t was reported yesterday that John G.
Breckenridge was made Secretary of War
of the Confederate States. We could OBJ
toin no confirmation of the report in Off
cial circles, but there are reasons for be-
lieving it. Breckinridge was expected to
arrive in the city last night. 1t was also
reported that Col. Northrup, Commissary
General, had been displaced. ,rt
Judge Halliburton, of the Confederate
Court for the district of Virginia, yesterday
issued writ OF hdbeds corpus on the petit
tion of Hon. Henry s. Foote, a member of
the Confederate House of Representatives
from Tennessee, commanding Captain Hugh
S. Daggit, Provost Marshal of Fredericks-
burg, to bring before the Judge the body of
Henry S. FOote ON Thursday next and
show cause why he should not be set at lib
erty. Mr.. Foote, in his petition, states that
he had been arrested and held in custody by
order of Captain Daggit, who professed to
be acting by the order of one James A.
Sedden, Secretary of War, &c. Happily,
this matter had been settled by the House
OF Representatives, to whom it was referred
by the President, declaring that they are of
opinion that the good of the country would
not be subserved by the forced attendance
House, but that under the circumstances of
the case 1t is expedient that the military
authorities discharge him from custody

G"erriIIas Attack Bardstowp. Ky.

LOUISVILLE, Jan. 19.-Forty guerrillas
under Pratt and McGreggor, a consolida-
ton of several bands, at 3 o'clock yester-
day afternoon made dash into Bardstown,
for the purpose of recovering one of their
men, Jno. Robinson, confined in the Jail of
that place. Bardstown is garrisoned by
detachment of Federal soldiers under Capt.
G. w. Nichols. The guerrillas set the de-
pot on fire and it was burned to the ground.
The body of Mr.. Sanberry was consumed
with it. The guerrillas and Federals had
heavy fight. Capt. Pratt and Pat Bull
were killed; Sue Mundy and Marion,
wounded; several others wounded. The
guerrillas were routed and driven from the
town, pursued two miles, when darkness
put stop to proceedings.

WASHINGTON, January 19.-The cavalry

tachments of the Sth Illinois, under Colonel
Clendenin, and the 18th and 18th New York,
under Colonel Gausvoort, which started
from Prospect Hill, has returned, hav-
ing secuted through Fairfax and Loudon

no large bodies of rebels in arms, but
brought in fifty two horses and eleven pris.
oners.
During Friday Col. Clendenin, with his
command, dashed into Luisburg and can
tured mail carrier, with letters from
men in Rosser's division of rebel cavalry,
now stationed in the Shenandoah, to por-
tions of LOudon county. In this eXpedi-
