Latest News from Richmond.

We learn the following interesting
facts from gentleman who has just ar
rived, having left Richmond on the
same train with the President and the
Cabinet. s@z -.
The evacuation took place as before
stated. Heavy fighting had preceded
the event for two2days, and it is said
that owing to the bad action Of one Of
our brigades, the enemy broke through
our lines on the South side, and swept
down them for q distance of three or
four miles. The troops, on the North
side, had been previously removed, ex-
cept sufficient force to maintain .
show Of defence. During these engage
ments We suffered heavily, the ground
being obstinately contested. Lieut..
Gen. A. P. Hill and Gen. W. Il. r.
Lee, son of Gen: B. E. Lee, are re-
ported killed, and Maj. Gen. Gordon
mortany. wounded : McGewan's bri.
gade is described to have been in the
thickest of the tumult, and to have
paid dearly fer its heroism. A fact
mentioned in. connection with the death
Of Gen: Hill, is that after his fall the
Yankees rushed upon him to cut the
stars from his coat, but our men rally
ing drove them away and rescued the
body.

Address OF the President.

lDANv1LLE, April 5.-The PresidsntIs.
sued an address, thismorning, tethe people.
He says. ea-
The Geaeral-in-G Chief found it necessary
to make such movements ofstroops as TO m
cover the capital. It Heuld heunwise TO
conceal the moral and material injury to5oui
cause, resulting from the occupation Of the
capital by the enemy. Hiseaually unwise
and unworthy of us to allow our energies to
falter, or onr efforts to become relaxed IN.
der .reverses, however ealamitous. For
many months the largest and finest army Of
the Confederacy, under the command Of q
leader whose presence inspirss equal conf
dence in the troops and in the people, has
been greatly trammelled by the necessity Of
keeping constant watch over the approaches
to the capital, and has thus been forced to
forego more than one opportunity for prom.
ising enterprise. =
1t is for us, my countrymen, to show BY
our bearing under reverses, how wretched
has been the self.deception Of those who 70.
msined behind us, less able to endure mis-.
fortune with fortituds than to encounter
danger with courage: Wehaye pow enter
ed upon new phase of the struggle; ne
lieved from the necessity Of guarding par.
ticular points, our army will be free tomoVe
from point to point and strike the enemy in
detail far from his base. Let us bot Whit
and we are free. Animated by that conf
dence in your spirit and fortitude which nes.
er yet failed me, I anupunceto you, fellow.
countrymen, that it is my purpose to main
tain your cause with my, whole heart and
soul; that 1 will never consent to abandon
to the enemy one foot ofthe soil of any one
Of the States of the Confederacy; that Vir.
ginia, noble State, whose ancient renown
has been eclipsed by her;still more glorious
recent history, whose bosom has been barred
to receive the main shook Of ibis war, whose
sons and daughters have exhibited heroism
so sublime as to render her iiiustrious inaii
siue to come; that Virgins, with the help
Of the people, and by the blessing Of Prov
iidenoe, shall be held and defended, and no
peace ever be made with the, infamous in:
vader of her homes by the sacrifice Of any
of her rights or territory. If, by stress OF
numbers, We should eyer be compelled toa
temporary withdrawal. from her limits or
those Of any other border State, again and
again will we return until the bafied and
exhausted enemy shall abandon in despair
his endless and impossible task Of making
slaves of people resolved lobe free. Let
us then not despair, my countrymsn, but
relying on the never failing mercy and pro
tecting care of our God, let us meet the foe
with fresh defiance, with unconquerabfe
hearts.

PEACE MATTERS.
More Gossip about Blair.
Davis Fearfully ,Repentant.
Another Sensational Story about Peace
able Settlement-JeG. Davis Prays
for the Anti.slavery Amendment.
[Press Dispatchl

New YORK, Jan. 3-TLe Herald's
Washington special says the mission 0t
Blair to Richmond was not, as has been
generally supposed, an entire failure, but
that it resulted in fully disclosing the
fact that many of the rebel chiefs are
desirous of peace and are willing to sub
nit to much more reasonable terms than
their newspaper organs would lead us to
suppose, but that all are so jealous and
watchful of each other that no one dares
to make an advance for fear of being
made the victim of some desperate and
relentless faction.
Another correspondent says that we
need not be surprised to soon hear of
terms of peace in proclamations OF the
Governors of Georgia and North Carolina.
The Tribune's special says the only
new development as to the Blair mis-
sion is reported by two members of the
House who dined with the returned en-
voy. Although they are Democratic,
they state that Mr. Blair said that jeff.
Davis entreated bin to effect the passage
of the constitutional amendment abOl-
ishing slavery, that he confessed that the
war had uprooted and destroyed slavery,
that it had induced disunion, and that
the hope of being able yet 10 save slavery
and re-enthrone it was the only obstacle
to peace and the restoration of the Union.
This was told on the floor of the House
Oh Saturday Bets were instantly offered
by peace Democrats that Mr.. Blair had
never uttered word of what was i'm
puted to him.

FROM THE SOUTH.
Kirby Smith and Mexico.
Strength of the Rebel Armies.
A Project TO Transfer Kirby Smiths
Command TO Maximillian-The Full
Strength Of the Rebels 16S, $50 Men.
rDraaa n;s1ofoh
Press Dispatch.

New YORK, Jan. 30-The Herald's ST.
Louis correspondent gives the outlines
of reported rebel project west of the
Mississippi of an extraordinary character.
1t is to the effect that General Kirby
Smith, commanding the rebel transmits
sissippi Department, including all the
rebel territory and troops west of the
Mississippi river, has been for some time
negotiating for transfer OF all his forces
to the Emperor Maximillian, Of Mexico.
1t is anticipated that if General Smith
does contemplate this important transfer
of his services, he will have some difficult
ity in etfecting it, as the rebel troops OF
that region, always lawless and semi
disorganized set of wild characters, have
become additionally demoralized since
the death of old Sterling Price, their
favOrits chief, and may resist this whole
sale military colonization.
The Herald publishes the rebel army
roster, which it says it obtained from the
most authentic source. The figures ac-
companying the organization slow that
the full strength of the rebels is only one
hundred and sixty-eight thousand nine
hundred and fifty men of all arms. This
is their fullest strength. These forces are
scattered from the James to the Red
river, and from the Atlantic coast to the
Indian territories 1t is shown very con-
clusively that the only army upon which
the rebels can depend is the army Of
Northwestern Virginia. This is the only
organization which the enemy has de-
serving the name, and the only army
which we now have to overcome.

OF fcourse, the fall of Fort Fisher neces-
STATED the fall of the other forts on the
river below it. Every thing below New
Inlet is in the power OF the enemy, even
if it is not already in his possession. But
that does not by any means imply the
possession Of the town of Wilmington.
1t does mean closing up the blockade
running port of Wilmington. In that
sense Of the tcOrd ii is a secere bloU. Be-
tween Us and the enemy there are Fort
Anderson and other works. They are
nOlU attacking them. We think we know
the men in them John Hendrick, and
men like him, will fight the thing out.
We only regret that we are not with
them. God knows we would rather be
with them in the forts than trying to set
up type here, as we are doing now. We
do not think thai Wilmington must neceSsa-
rilyJaU The port of Wilmington is al
ready gone. That has gone cheap. The
COntederacy has lost its best port The
men of Wilmington must now defend
their homes We think they can do so.
Let us all try.
From the Wilmington sJouInal Jan 81.
We understand that on Thursday last
there was some skirmishing between the
left wing of our forces in the neighbOr-
hood Of Sugar Loaf and the Yankee in
fantry, who had made an advance from
their intrenched position during the af-
ternOon 1t is reported that while the
Yankee vessels were engaged in shelling
the woods, their infantry made an attack
an Clingmans brigade, occupying our
left with the evident intention OF flank
ing them, but ,Cere repalsed and driren
back to their iatrenchments No casual
ties have as yet been reported, but we
learn that several of our men were
wounded
