NEW YORK, Jan. ~.
The World editorially attaches
much Importance to the news from
Richmond papers published to-day.
1t thinks, in connection with these
Richmond stories, Mr.. Blair's silence
on his return is very significant, while
the impression has been given that
nothing has resulted from the mis-
sion. 1t is possible other and more
formidable negotiations may follow
Blair's interview with Jefferson Da-
Wis.
The military commission to try Cap
tain Bell, the Lake Erie pirate, was
adjourned from Monday to Friday on
request of Capt. Bell, that counsel
might be assigned him. The ques-
ton was referred to the War Depart
ment, and an answer is expected by
tomorrow.
The American Counsel at Havana
informs Collector Draper that the reb-
els are stalking out the harbor of st.
MARKS, on the western coast of Flor
ida, to make it available for blockade
runners.
The Express says that movements
are now going on against Mobile
Prominent persons express the opin-
ion that that city is now in our
hands.
The Herald's Washington special
says, General Butler was before the
Committee on the conduct of the war
to-day. He says the Fort Fisher fail
ure was the occasion and not the cause
of his removal. He considered he
was cleared of that affair, and claim
ed he had the right to go through
and explain his whole course since
his appointment to the command of
the Department of Virginia and Nor
Carolina.

raiders from Pensacola to Pollard destroy

damaged the road considerably and the
bridge over the Tuscumbia was partially

Yesterday from Europe via Matamcras
A letter from the army of the Poto-
man, dated the 9th, says there is con-
siderable picket firing along our front.
The resumption is no doubt caused by
the numerous desertions recently occur

CENTREvILLE, Pa, Jan. 16, 1865.
Mr.. Editor Through the columns Of
your valuable paper, permit me to have
talk to your many readers, on subject
in which we are all interested; and just
now while God is punishing our nation
for her sins, is it not betitting time that
we should inquire what is sin, and repent
of it ? and amongst all our sins, with the
exception of Human Slavery, think In
temperance stands the most preminent.-
Let us look around through our own COM
munity and see the tears that are shed,
the groans of anguish, the prayers as
cending in behalf of those who have eu-
tered into the great whirlpool of intem-
perauce; fast travelling to ruin and des-
truction. No power of mortal man is Suf-
ficient to stop this monstrous car Of des
truction Oh that Ministers and Edit
ors would speak out, with every pulsation
of their heart against the traffic in liq-
uors, until it would be a shame for men
to stand behind the bar and issue out liq-
uid fire to men, that steals their brains
and robs them of those noble qualities Of
soul; sends them home to abuse their
wives and little ones, and turn them out
to the cold charities of the world, when
otherwise they could live independently.
But after all we can say, there remains
untold misery and suffering to which the
world will forever be stranger. Go down
into the dark corners of our cities and
villages and sec the widowed mothers
the haggard paupers-the scalding tear
the groans of Anguish, thousands of
weeping friends and one and all pouring
into the car of God, their tale of woe and
suffering; and then with them cry out to
Heaven against the iniqutous system of
selling and drinking liquors, and perad-
venture God will hear our prayers, pardon
our sins and drive this monster from our
land. ] might admit here, that once |
was tipler, and know by experience when

handle | have forever banished the cup
from my lips, aud just as long as God
gives me hand to write or mouth to speak
/ will speak out against this evil till it
ceases from our land in my own short life
/ have seen many start out with fair pros
pect in life; where are they to-day? fal-
len, lost, ruined, disgrace to their friends,

TO drink moderately But alas the de-
ceptive vice carried them GU until there

committed suicide, far from friends and

said, "No drunkard shall inherit the
Kingdom of God" Beware Young man
as you take the first drink, others have
started in the same course and never
could retrace their steps till death and
Judgment, and perhaps hell, overlook
them.
Then iift not the wine cup,
Tho pleasures may swim
Like angel Of light,
Round its roselte brm.

W ASIlbbIDN, obituary 10.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in a
letter to Hon +. B. Washburne, Chair
manof the House Committee on Com
merce, says the numerous expedients re-
sorted to recently to evade the custom
laws and evade the revenues, especially
on our Northern and Northeastern front
iers, renders additional Legislation highly
desirable He submits the draft of bill
to revive part of the act of March Sd, 49,
Is, which expired by limitation in 1917,
since which time there has existed no au-
thority for searching carriages and 9TH
er land vehicles other than those crossing
our frontiers. 1t is proposed to revive this
authority, and to extend the provisions
of the sixty eighth section ofthe Collection
Act 1893, authorising the searching Of
houses, &c, under proper judicial war
rants to inspectors
This is believed to be necessary, as ma
ny of the collection districts are so large
that the delay consequent upon procur-
ing the special authority now required
from Collectors, Naval officers and Sur
geons, Tor suing out search warrants to be
executed at points remote from the port
of entry, has prostrated the object. The
Secretary thinks it would add materially
to the efficiency of the law if the vehi-
cles and beasts of burden, with all that
appartains to them were subjected to for
FIXTURES, is provided by the bill. The
other propositions regarding the giving of
testimony to be necessary to an efficient
execution of the revised laws
Comptroller Taylor makes a statement
of fees paid from the appropriations for
California claims and expenses of the
courts for the year ending December 81,
1864, amounting to S37 800, of which,
sl5,7 was paid to Wm. Ewarts, council
in prize cases.

Startling Peace Rumors.
WASHINGTON. Jan. ]

Rumors are afoat this evening, and
the highest names are quoted as an
authority, that the Senior Blair is to
start for Richmond again on spe-
cial boat, furnished by the Navy De-
partment. Since his return he has
been having repeated interviews with
the President, the last of which took
place this afternoon. 1t begins to be
bruited by some, and suspected by
others, that his last visit to Richmond
was not nearly so barren of results as
papers have reported.
