The 10Th army corps occupied Robertsville.
This place is about so miles above Savan-

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2.-The State Senate yes-

mousiy, directing the Judiciary committee
to inquire into the expediency of callin O
another State Convention to revise the con-
stltution and make Il fundamental law en-
Dodying only the general principles applica-
Bile to all times and conditions. The reso-
luton is preiaced with a preamble declar-
ing that the present convention does not ap-
| pear to answer the expectations Of the loyal
| people OF the State, and the delegates are
wasting time in further debates and cOnsid-
erlng questions for which the public mind
| Is not prepared.
The Convention yesterday and to-day was
mainly occupied in discussing motion to
strike out the words "White man" i'm the
section OF the constitution defining the
qualifications for Governor.

The Paducah correspondent of the Mis-
souri, Democrat says the rebel General
Chalmer, in speech at Cornth in the early
part of January, accused Hood OF selling
him out, and expressed the opinion that the
Confederacy had gone under. He told the
men they could do as they pleased. He
should have nothing more to do with them,
but should quit and try to save the remain
der of his property. 1t is also stated the
rebel General Morrow sent message to a
personal friend in the Union army stating
that he had lost all faith in the rebel lead
crs. He wishes TO surrender himself to the
Federal commander and is now waiting
near Corinth to ascertain what terms will
be granted to an officer of his rank volun-
tarily returning to his allegiance. The |
noted General Roddy is also said to have
applied for pardon.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The Heralds corres-
pondent from Shermans army describes
the opening of that Generals new cam
paign: The left wing of the army under
Gen. Slocum had arrivedsat Sisters Ferry,
on the Savannah river, fifty miles above the
city of Savannah, without meeting any OPP
position from the enemy. Two divisions
which struck out for that point through the
State of South Carolina. had consider
able difficulty in getting through the
swamps. Other troops who marched up
the Georgia bank of the river, had not such
embarrasments to contend with. On the
23d ult. allof Slocum's men were at Sisters
Ferry, and supplies were being rapidly re-
ceived. The right wing of the army is
operating in better country for marching
than the left. and some distance from it,
but communication is kept uninterrupted.
One correspondent states that General Sher-
man proposed stirring up South Carolina
at the rate OF twenty miles a day. iqa

OF the capture of u portion of the 18th Ohio

Thursday forty men, in command of Cap

fifteen miles in the direction of Baldwin,

ily in removing themselves to within our

meeting the enemy, and while engaged in
loading the wagons were surrounded hy
400 mounted rebels. Our men fled to the

The result was that only 10 of our men,
including the Captain, succeeded In getting
back to the Union lines. From statements
of an officer who recently left Jackson

made up by the party whom it was sought
to succor.

Mr.. Ingersoll asked leave to offer n pre
amble setting forth that, as an informal ne
gotiation Is now pending between the Uni
TED States and the so-called Cohfederat,
States, therefore
Resotred That tits the deliberate and em.
phatlc opinion of this House that no peace
can or should be made TO recognize the
traitorous leaders of the rebellion, as they
arc not entitled to equal rights and immi-
mites with loyal citizens.
Mr.. Stevens said he was informed that no
negotiations are pending, as the contract
my parties have separated, nothing admis-
si6le having been presented.
MT. lie Blond offered resolution In
structing the committee on Military Affairs
70 inquire into the alleged facts as to. SOL
dlers recently landed at Fort Schuyler hav-
ing uled OF open exposure TO the severe
weather. The resolution was adopted.
The House passed the joint resolution to
terminate the treaty with Great Britain for
the regulation Of the naval force on the
lakes.
The House resumed the consideration of
the Naval Appropriation bill.
Fernando Wood favored the pendin0
amendment for Board of Admiralty. In
the course of his remarks he said that If,
as was reported, peace negotiations had
iailed IN consequence of the indisposition of
the rebel authorities to return to their al
legiance and duty, and because they refused
to reunite on the basis of the Constitution,
so far as he represented the peace senti-
ment he would not sustain them in their DO
sition. If the door was thrown open by
the President and if the answer thereto
was separation and recognition, and moth
ing else, so far as his humble efforts were
concerned he should aid the conquering
armies of his country to obtain by force
what they had been unable to obtain by
peace.
Messrs. Pike and .Griswold opposed. and
Mr.. Blaine advocated the Admiralty Board
amendment, which was rejected-43 to 30.
Mr.. Baldwin offered the following:
WHEREAs, The New York city papers of
Thursday state that transport filled with
sick and wounded soldiers, discharged them
at Fort Schuyler aud left them exposed to
the cold of January from five in the even
ing till midnight; therefore.
ReSOlred,. That the committee on Military
Affairs be instructed TO inquire into the
facts andreport to this House.
Adopted.
The House passed the joint resolution
ratilying the notice Of the President to
Great Britain for the termination of the
treaty OF 1887, regulating the naval force on
the lakes.

ingtOn special says it is well known here
tonight that on Thursday the President,
Secretary Seward and the Richmond Com

their faith is now the other way. 1t is not
expected the President and Secretary Sew

its large capitals, has attracted great at

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE PoToMAC,
Feb. 2.-All the hospitals in the field were
cleared day or two since, the inmates be-
ing sent to City Point general hospital,
where they could receive more care and be
in better quarters. This change, no doubt,
gives rise to various rumors of an intended
forward movement. Deserters who came
in to-day report the return to our front of
troops recently sent to North Carolina to
meet the Union force said to be marching
ON Weldon.
The rebels in front of Petersburg have
been very jubilant for day or two. in
dulging in frequent cheering, but on what
account is not known here.
Col. Ruggles, one of the oldest officers in
the army, has been assigned to duty as As
sistant Adiutant General at these head
quarters.

HumOr of an Armisticc-LiucoIn and
Seward Returned to Washington-
Their Interview with the COmmis-
siOners.
BALTIMORE, Feb. "A special dispatch
to the Baltimore American from Annapolis,
after announcing the arrival there of Presi-
dent Lincoln and Secretary Seward, SAYS:
1T was rllmOred on board the steamer that
brought them that an armistce of thirty
days would take place and the prospects of
an early settlement of our difficulties were
brighter. This, of course, is all rumor.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward arrived here from
Fortress Monroe this morning. They had
an Informal conference with Stephens,
Hunter and Campbell, on board the steamer
River Queen, in Hampton Roads. The con-
terence occupied four hours, and is positive
ly known to have resulted in no change of
attitude either of the Government or of the
rebels. In other words it was failure.
New YORK. Feb. 4.-The Tribune's City
Point dispatch dated February lst, says: 1t
is understood here that Mr.. Stevens is in
structed by jeff. Davis and his cabinet
to make peace on the best terms he can, but
to make peace anyhow. 1t is also thought
here that Mr.. Stephens will not return to
the Confederacy If he does not succeed in
the object OF his mission.
From various demonstrations in front of
the 9th corps last night and this morning,
1t is apprehended by some that the rebels
Intend to make an attack to. day, and by
Others that they are about evacuating Pc
tershnrg. There was considerable artillery
hring last evening, brought OH by the enc
my, particularly in the neighborhoOd of
Battery No. 5. l think, however, that all
demonstrations of strength by the rebels
at this time are tor the purpose of giving
tone to MIR. Stephens peace mission.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The operations of

on for some weeks under Chief Detective
Young, in ferreting out rebel incendiaries
who lately attempted to burn this city, are

most difficult character, and conducted with
skill and were persevered in with the great
est tenacity. Their most interesting field
was in Canada. where they mixed freely
crime and other places, and managed to gain
the confidence OF the incendiaries. By
these and other means they succeeded In
their plans and effected the arrest ofanum-

SUNDAY NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
The Inter view Between Lincoln
and the Peace Commissioners.

New YORK, Feb. 5.-The morning papers
throw no light upon negotiations between
Lincoln and Seward and the rebel commits
sioners. The interview lasted sixteen
hours. According to the Herald's cores
pondent the President is reported to have
proposed to Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and
Campbell, that if they were prepared to
promise return of their States to the
Union he was ready to waive all minor
questions; but that as the Chief Magistrate
of the Republic, sworn to maintain the
Union, he could take into consideration no
terms which involved it's division. This
great point the rebels confessed they did
not feel authorized to decide, and the con-
ference ended. The conference took place
entirely OH board of one or the other of
the three steamers which were an
chored in Hampton Roads, where the ne
gotiators could not be interrupted. 1t was
conducted in most cordial and frank man.
ner on both sides, but on the part of Mr..
Lincoln, at least, with equal firmness.
Great anxiety is now felt to hear from

Thomns' Army-g'he Confcderacy
Calling for VOlunteers-ErOm
New Orleans and Mobile.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-The Herald's dis
patch from ElStport Jan. 25th, represents
the troops of Gen. Thomas army, both cav
airy and infantry, as finely located and i'm
excellent condition, impatient for another
advance movement. Rebel deserters there.
as IN every other region where the national
soldiers are stationed. are constantly coming
INTO the Union lines. Gen. Thomas COM
mlssaries have to feed a large number of
tle inhabitants of the country, rs guerrillas
have destroyed or carried off the greater
portion Of their provisions.
BY late Southern papers it appears the
rebels, now that all their able-b bodied men
nave been forced into the army by conscrip-
ton, are rather sngularly calling for vol
lnteers, and Il bill has been introduced into
their Senate urging all, except those al
ready in che army and deserters, to form
military companies to serve during the war,
the members to be permitted to select their
own officers. Mr.. j. l.. Pugh, member of
the Military committee in their House of
Representatives, in letter which he has
written, gives the outlines of bill for the
conscription OF all males between Is and
90 years. tor the placing in the army of all
men between these ages now exempted un-
der detailment for other service, and for re-
duction to the ranks OF all officers without
commands.
The statement made some time ago that
Beauregard is to command in person the
army lately under Hood and now under
Dick Taylor, is repeated.
One thousand parolled Union prisoners
were on Tuesday last detained in James
river by the ice.
BY the arrival of the steamer Empire
City from New Orleans January 25th, we
learn that the holiday in honor of the abo-
lition Of slavery in Maryland and Tennes-
see, fixed by Governor Hahn, was duly eel
ebrated. In late rebel raid on the plan
tations in the neighborhood of Concordia
lake. Louisiana, nearly everything of value
was destroyed or carried off.
Rebel deserters from Mobile who recent
ly reached the Union fleet in the bay, stated
that it was the general belief that the city
would soon be evacuated without waiting
for the advance from Pascagoula of General
Gordon Granger, whose force they repre-
sent as having been increased to 25,000.,
