New York, Jan. Doth. Richmond Sen
,inel states that 3reckinridge has been
appointed Secretary of War.
New York, Jan. 30ih -Hernld's special
says that the mission of Blair to Richmond
was not as hys been generally surpassed,
an entire failure, but that it resulted in
fully disclosing the fact that many of the
rebel chiefs are DESTROYS of peace, and are
willing to submit TO much more reasonable
terms than their leading organs would
lead US to suppose, but all are so jealous
o! the war power of each other that no
o"e dares make an advance for fear Of
being made the victim Of some desperate
aud relentless faction.
Another correspondent says we need
not be surprised to soon hear of terms
for peace in proclana.ions of the Gov.
ernor's of Georgia and North Carolina.
Trihuue's special says the only new de.
velopment as to Blair's mission is reported
by Two members of the house who diued
with the returned envoy
Although they are democratic they
state that Blair said jeff Davis entreated
him to effect the passage OF the Conssi,u-
,ona! amendment abolishing slavery.
He confessed the war had uproo,ed and
destroyed slavery which had induced dis.
union, and the hope of being able yet to
save slavery, aud e.enthrone it, was the
only obstacle to peace, and the resi- oration
of the Union. This was told on the floor
Of the House.
New York, JAN 30th-Herald's ST..
Louis correspondent gives the outlines of
a reported rebel project west of the Mis-.
stssippi of extraordinary character.
1t is to the effec, that Gen Kirby Smith,
commanding rebel trans. Mississippi Dept.
including all rebel territory aud troops
west Of the Mississippi river, had been for
some time negotiating for the transfer Of
all his forces to the emperor, MaximiHan
of Mexico.
The Herald publishes a rebe! army ros-
ter, which it says, was obtained from a
most authentic source.
The figures accompanying the organi
cation show the full strength Of the rebels
to be only 1896 men Of all arms.
This is their fullest strength, aud these
forces are scattered from tho James to
Red river, and from the Atlantic coast to
the Indian Territories.
IL IS SHOWN very cancluSively that the
only army upon which the rebels can
depend is the army Of Northern Virginia
This is the only organization which the
enemy has deserving the name of army
and the only one which we now have to
overcome.
New York, Jan. 3oh.-Tribune has a
leading article On n recognition intrigue,
in which it says it has obtained clue to
a European complot, wherefrom the slave
holding rebels are comforting themsel, es
with hopes of powerful aud speedy aid to
to their sinking cause.
Its outline is: At an early stage Of the
rebellion JEFF. Davis sent the Roman Cath
Ollie Bishop Lynch, of s. G.. to Europe.
1t was not difficult for him to convince
the master spirits of European reaction
and absolutism, tina. the Shareholders re.
bellion was identical in spirit with their
cause, aud enlist their sympa,l,ies; but
Bishop Lynch Wen, fur,hes. aud assured
the magnates of the Catholic Church that
its expansion and predominence through.
out the hemisphere would be assured by
the triumph of the rebels. In difference to
these representations, a secret League of
the Roman Catholic powers, France, Spain
and Austria, under guidance of the Pope,
has been formed, pledged to recognize the
Confederacy after the fourth of next March
on the ground that it did not take part 10
the Presidential election.
