Peace Rumors-Reported Kem anna n
BILE Proposition from MEMBER OIL
the Rebel Cabinet to Blair.
The HeraEs Washington special says
the city is filled with peace rumors. Inc
correspondent says that member OF Jett'
DAVIS Cabinet made direct proPosltion
or inquiry of Blair while in Richmond, to
the effect that if the rebel government was
willing to give up the contest, would the
United States Government forego enamel
patton, confscation, ETC., permit them to
dispose OF their cotton and leave the coun-
try for Mexico, with the understanding
that no obstacle should be placed in the
way of the private soldiers of the Southern
army-at least all who may desire to fol
low their leaders into that country II
that would be consented to, they would
bind themselves to drive the French out OF
Mexico, assume full control of the Govern
ment, and, if necessary, pledge its ultimate
annexation to the United States. BLAIR
stated in reply that the North would not
in any contingency abandon the idea OF
emancipation, but our Government was
willing to be merciful as far as confscation
was concerned.
A New misunderstanding Port
stopped.
New York, January ga private
letter says the proposition of the rebels to
make St. Marks, Florida, blockade
running port will not succeed, as Lieu
tenant Rockwell has three vessels there
able to put stop to such operations.
The Richmond Wing OH lhc Rebel
Cabinct.
The Richmond Enquirer states that it is
thought that the existing Cabinet has pref.
ty nearly exhausted its intellectual re,
sources without achieving very brilliant
illuminated fame, and new set, with
fresh ideas and wide awake Characters
tics, is especially desirable at the present
time.
The Anglo blockade-runners have al
ready been informed of the fall of For
Fisher, the Owl having run in and made
her escape out again the night before thu
evacuation of Fort Caswell.
Views of Rebel Papers concerning
the fnte of WiImington-lts saliva
ton Hopeless.
New YORK, January 26.-The VIII
mington, North Carolina, Journal says O
the operations in that vicinity: The fierce
part of the combat is yet to come. Tht
Yankees, elated with success, will attemp
to beat back our troops. With reinforce
ments continually arriving and the posi-
ton our lines have assumed, we trust hi:
next effort will be futile one. Both ar
mics are fortifying in their respective po
sitions and hot work may be looked fol
any time.
The Raleigh Progress of the Goth says
The persons who left Wilmington on thu
18th say the rebel forces fell back to with
in eight miles of the city. General Terry
had demanded the surrender of the place
giving Bragg to the 10Th to answer. Tit
removal of the public property was goinI
| on as fast as possible, and we doubt no
every preparation is making to fall back
Persons from there say all is confusion a
Wilmington. The general impression was
that the place would go, and that most O.
the people would remain.
New YORK, January 25.-The Times
Washington special says that the Rich.
mond papers of Monday substantially con-
fess the evacuation of Wilmington and the
fact that General Terry is, beyond doubt
now in possession of that city.
The Rebel IrOncIad Demonstration
ON the James.
The Times City Point correspondent
telegraphs that the idea at headquarters
concerning the rebel ironclad demonstra-
ton on the James, is that it was designed
to create an excitement to cover the evacu-
alton of Richmond. Evidence accumu-
lates daily that the rebel leaders would
like to get out of that city.

there were four rebel iron-Slads; one was
entirely destroyed, another disabled, and
the other two were aground and were be-
ing fred into direct by our batteries
each shot from Parsons striking them
fairly.
SOuth CaroIininns SkednddIing into
Georgia.
The Augusta Co'aStit"tionaliSt says the
CITY is filed with fugitives from South
Carolina. 1t would appear that a panic
had seized on the people of that State on
the approach of the Union army, and they
were ready to leave everything to save
themselves. H. .sa.. sTa..
