F. p. Blair, Sen., has gone to Rich
mond the third time. He returned to
Washington after his second journey
and was in close consultation with the
President and other leading members
of the Administration, but what the
character Of his communications has
been, or with what authority he is now
clothed, is a fact unknown. That he
should SO soon return is indicative of
his having been charged with some
communication from JEFF. Davis, the
terms of which have not been made
public, and in connection with the sue
cesses achieved BY our forces since his
interview with the rebel Executive,
and the evident Discrimination of the
mass Of the Southern people to contin-
ne the war, induces belief on the
part Of the Administrator that the
resources Of craftsmanship" may
now be usefully employed, in connec-
tion with q vigorous prosecution Of
military and naval operations, to bring
about a termination Of existing diff
cultics. lie returns at once to the rcb-

Mr.. BIair's first mission was far more
successful than was alleged to trans

From Richmond.

A refugee from Richmond reports
that Lee has got troops to meet Sher.
man in South Carolina. Apropos to
this, it will be noticed as an important
item that two corps of the army OF
Thomas are going by sea to join Sher.
man. Hood will probably make his
way across the country toward the
coast, and lively times may be expect.
ed in that quarter before long.
The New York Herald thinks Lee
about to transfer his army, ordnance,
magazines, &C., and the rebel capital,
President, Cabinet, and Congress, to
Danville. An intelligent gentleman
who recently visited Richmond, states
he had conversed with government Off
GERS there who told him that the hold.
ing of Richmond for any considerable
time was despaired of by Davis and
Ice. Hundreds of families have al
ready removed to South Carolina and
Georgia. The city is said to be in
process of mining, and JEFF. Davis is
determined that Richmond shall not
fall into our hands except in heaped
ruins. .. ..at

Latest from Wilmington.

The latest news from Wilmington
is that all of Admiral Porter's feet are
in Cape Fear river. Five blockade
runners ran into Old Inlet, and were
captured. The rebels have blown up
Fort Caswell, and Wilmington is said
to have been evacuated by them. 1t
is also said that several large vessels,
blockade runners, were destroyed.
Gen. Grant visited Washington on
the 22d inst. He is reported to have
said that a deserter came into the lines
of Gen. Terry and reported that the
rebels were evacuating Wilmington,
after having set fire to $50, 900
worth of cotton, but that our troops
had prevented the destruction Of the
cotton.

The Hardin County Coal Fields

A short time since the people OF
Hardin county had O public meeting to
consider measures for securing a rail
road from the coal fields to the Dubuque
& Sioux City Railroad. At the meeting
a committee of eight prominent citi.
zens was appointed to come to Du.
buque and confer with President
Smith and others in regard to the fea.
sibility of the project.
The committee, Messrs. NJ. G. Wood.
ruff, Ii. l.. Huff, w. J. NOR, Col. s. r.
Edgerton, L. H. Robinson, S. +. La.
throp, s.. B. Cunningham and S. B.
Winchester, arrived here Wednesday
afternoon, and held a conference with
Mr.. Smith. The road which is needed
is but fifteen miles in length--from
Ackley on the Dubuque and Sioux City
Railroad, thirty miles west IF Cedar
Falls, to Eldora. The committee re-
ceived the most encouraging assu-
RANGES, and leaves for home this MORN
ing, well satisfied with the results of
their visit. --w ...-..E...
Mr.. j. K. Graves has become inter-
ested in the matter, and was present
at the conference. Ten toEs of the
coal are on the way to Dubuque to be
tested for gas purposes. a..
For the last ten years the coal in
Hardin county has been used for fuel
by the people in that section. 1t burns
as well as any other western coal.
There is no doubt that the desired
railroad will be built not long after the
Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad
reaches Ackley, and then the great
coal fields of Hardin county will prove
a source of wealth and business enter
prise which will largely enhance the
interests of the whole region.-DU-

From Gen. Sherman.

A Charleston despatch of the 18th
says deserters and prisoners report
the force that advanced from Beaufort
to consist of the 18th and 18th corps,
with some artillery and baggage
train, and that Sherman was moving
by railroad with the remainder of his
army, artillery, trains, &c. 1t is ex-
pected that the rebels will make a
stand at Ashepoo, thirty miles south of
Charleston, and then fall back on that
city. They have not the men nor the
stamina to stand against Sherman's
magnificent army.
The expedition up the Savannah riv-
er few days since, destroyed ten
miles of the South Carolina and Co
lumbia railroad. 1t was the severance
of one more link in the chain of Rich
mond communications.

From the South.

The Richmond papers contain de-
bate in the rebel Congress, which
shows that the Committee ON foreign
relations, to whom was referred the
peace propositions, reported unani-
mously in favor of sending commits
sioncrs tosue for peace. 1t also shows
that this action has produced rupture
between JEFF. Davis and the Richmond
oligarchy on one side, and Congress,
representing the people, on the other,
which is shaking the whole frame
work of the Confederacy. Mr.: Orr de-
clared that the people were determin-
ed that in some form the statesman
ship of the country shall be invoked
in an honest effort to end the carnival
of death by negotiation. The debate
is the most important which has occur
red during the war. Fl
The Richmond Sentinel, (Jeff. Davis
organ,) having published an article
denouncing the peace resolutions as
reasonable, an exciting debate took
place in the House, in which the Senti-
mel was roughly handled jeff. Davis
was accused of endeavoring to intimi-
date the advocates of an honorable
and peaceful settlement of the war. In
the House, also, there was debate on
the proposed repeat of the exemption
law. Marshall, Of Kentucky, was in
favor of clean sweep Of every man
in the South. He thought the rebels
had not begun to fight yet. Others
said the country needed farmers, and
the people should be divided into SOL
diers and producers.
The Richmond Examiner suggests
that all the cotton at Wilmington be
burned, as, the port being closed, the
place is no longer of any consequence,
and may fall into the enemy's hands.
The Richmond Enquirer, acknowl-
edging the port closed, says: "Now,
for the first time, we are thrown entire
ly upon our own resource. Butler
could have taken it on Christmans-day,
but he did not, because he was afraid.
1t would be folly to pretend thst the
port Of Wilmington was not of great
value to our cause, but that it did us
much harm is equally clear"
The Richmond Wing, in one of those
flaming editorials which are written
daily to "fire the Southern heart"
says:
If the fate Of Carthage is to over
take us, it must not come until our
women, like those of Carthage, shall
have gwen their hair for bowstrings."
The Richmond Wing expects Sher-
man to move on Richmond, and says
he is the very genius we desire to
see, and he brings with him some
thousands of those Western veterans
whose metal we desire to test, for
Grant has with him only seven thou
sand veterans. The rest are the riff.
raft Of creation, to defeat whom is no
honor.
The Raleigh, N. c., Wing is out OPP
emily for reconstruction, owing to in
testine troubles. The state militia of
North Carolina have thrown aside
their arms and gone home.
The Richmond papers are again
abusing JEFF. Davis, Gen. Bragg, and
all others, except Lee, for allowing
Fort Fisher to fall. They ngain call
for Lee as Dictator.

Another Rebel Plot in Canada.

A Montreal correspondent says !:
" The rebels in Canada design the cap
ture of the Clinton State prison, de-
scent OH Plattsburg, and raid
through New England. All the pris-
ons, machine shops, rolling mills, and
founderies are tv--bo joeAseyed, aud
the convicts released, most of whom,
it is believed, will accompany the raid
ers to Plattsburg. At the latter place,
extensive barracks, belonging to the
Government, are to be destroyed, the
custom house, postofice and banks
plundered, and the entire town pillag-
ed and burned. The entire work is
not to be done by rebels in Canada.
A considerable number have been de-
tatched from their regiments by the
rebel War Department to assist in the
enterprise. These men have stealthily
made their way North, and many OF
them are now concealed with friends
in Baltimore and New York. A few
others are said to have organized in
Plattsburg and other towns in New
York. All are in communication with
their leaders, awaiting orders as to
the plan of operations. The proposed
route is said to be from Plattsburg
across Vermont, New Hampshire and
Maine. The leaders claim that their
numbers will entitle them to the con-
sideration of belligerents. The rebel
Secretary of War has ordered those
who go from Canada to report to GER
tain officers within the State of New
York, so as not to violate the neu-
trality of Great Britain"
