From Richmond Papers.

t4< New York, Feb. Ill
The Richmond Examiner of the Stf
says:
IL appears that the enemy still hold
the defences on Hatch's Run, where be il
reported to be heavily entrenched. His
movement OF cavalry in the direction OF
Dinwiddie G.. Ii seems to have been
planned and executed to give his infan.
try time to enIrench at Hatch's Rna,
which was done very effectively.
As matters stand, the Yankees have
extended their lines two or three miles,
but have not advanced them.
Besides Che casualties mentioned in
Gen. Lees report. we hear that Captain
Floyd, of ehe Florida Brigade. was killed;
Col. Scott, of Florida, painfully wounded.
and Captain Young. of Gen. McReas'
staff, severely wounded.
The Richmond Examiner, of the Bib,
urges that the present passion Of the south
aroused BY the peace conference, be m ade
available before it evaporates.
The Examiner also saye there was re-
port in the city that Charleston had been
evacuated, but The War Department bad
no confirmation OF it.
Gen. Hood had reached Richmond.
The Worlds Washington special ays:
Peace had been concluded between Spain
and Peru.
Gen. Grierson is 10 Washington.

Of snbmiesion Lincoln said that il rested
with Congress alone TO say whether We
should be received back into the Union q,
States or not.
Secretary of State Benjamin earnestly
advooated the employ ment of negro sol.
diers. These remarks, it is said in Ar
editorial, reflected the firm purpose o.
the people Of shs States to fight the 6shl
