Treason Treason Treason

GENrLEMEN:-It is rumored on the street, that
there is resolution before Congress-in secret
sion--to open irregular negotiations through Com
m,ssoners with Lincoln, for peace. This is not only
treason but under the circumstances, is treachery
of the most infamous character. If you please, le,
us know whether it he true or not. The people of
Virginia, certainly and, believe, the people Of the
Confederacy, generally, will not allow themselves
to be sold by traitorous Congressman after this
fashion. q.
Our correspondent refers to a report which is
pretty common upon the street. and which has ex-
cited so far as it hes gained any credit, the utmost
surprise and indignation among our people. What
the citizens of Hirginia, at least, think of such
revolutionary notions as therein referred to, may
be seen in the noble action Of our House of Dele
gates on Tuesday last Propositions not whit
more disordery, runous and fatal than those refer
to by 60" were indefinitely postponed in the
promptest and most indignant manner, by vote
of 1O1 to 2. The vote spoke for Virginia in sub
stance and in manner. We do not doubt but that
the honor of the State is truly represented in
Congress- and that no one of her delegates at least
could have part in such exceedingly reprehensi-
bic and intolerable proceedings as are imagined.
If there be- indeed, q single member remaining
in Congress who is in favor of seeking peace by the
Oecoquan road instead Of the regular authorized
mode of negotiation which the Constitution has
provided, and which he has sworn to support, he
knows but little Of thetemper OF the people, If he
supposes he would meet with the least encourage
ment or toeraton, or escape the most indignant re-
prehension. The sentiment Of Gov. Vance is the
sentiment of our whole people, and the sworn duty
of our legislators: "Let all Of our movements,
whether of peace or war, be in solid column. y
There is neither dignity, honor nor safety in any
other; nothing but folly, treason and ruin.
The above is the article from the Richmond Seq!
,t;nel, rsfsrred to- and denounced in the House Of
Representatives by Mr.. Orr, on tho 10th Instant,
The Sentinel at length conesses that there is treason
at other points besides in North Carolina.

Messrs. Foete and Blair.

1t will been seen from the message of the Presi.
dent to the House of Representative and the els-
gram of the provost marshal of Fredericksburg,
transmitted herewith, that the Hon. Henry s.
Foete, member of the Confederate House of Rep.
resentatives from Tennessee, has been captured
while making his way into the enemys country.
He was arrested at Oceoquau Prince William couu.
ty, Virginia, and brought back to Fredericksburg,
and there parofed to await the action of the Gov.
crnmsnt in the premises. The matter has been re-
ferred to select committee of five of the House Of
Representatives. In his last speech ip the House,
Mr. Foote declared bis intention to resign his seat
and since that time he has taken part in tho de-
liberatlons of the House. 1t is said he placed his
written resignation IN the hands of gentleman Of
Prince William county, to send in after he should
have crossed the Potomac, but this report We think
incorrect, as it appears from the statement Of the
officer who reports his arrest that Nj: Foote de-
cared 1t to be bis intention to visit Washington
with the hope Of bringing about peace. He will,
we suppose, remain in Fredericksburg until the Sc
lect committee in his case have reported, and the
House acted upon their report
Mr. Francis P. Blair, ST., is still in this city, and
is not at the Spotswood, but at the private resi-
dence of Colonel Ould, Commissioner of Exchange.
He has had several interviews with the President,
and there are various and conflicting reports Of the
results of their interviews or conferences One Is
that President Davis has agreed to appoint three
commissioners, to meet three to be appointed by
Lincoln, to settle the little existing difficulty be.
tween the Confederate States and the United States
Another report and We think the nest likely to be
true, is that TIE President has broken off all con-
