yet been heard We deplore the failure
which has occurred, and still more keenly
do we regret that any feelings of hostility
should exist either between the two
branches of the military ser ice of the
United States, or between the leaders of
the forces which were meant to cooper
ate against Wilmington. We care not
to take sides in such controversy. We
care only that the whole truth should be
known, and that blame should lie where
on the merits of the case it properly be-
longs. Meanwhile, Wilmington remains
and is likely to remain in possession of
the Rebels.
One O'CLOCK p. M.--Gen. Butler 5
letter is this moment received 1t states
in substance tha the. strength of Fort
Fisher had not been materially impaired
by the fire from the feet, aud that its
guns still swept the narrow strip of land
by which alone it was possible for as
saultiug column to approach. ABORTION
of Lees forces had been sent from Rich
mond to strengthen the garrison, and Gen.
Weitzel. who advanced his skirmi h line
within fifty yards of the fort, pronounced
an attempt impr cticable, except by the
operati of regular siege, which was
not contemplated in the orders under
which Gen. Butler was acting. The
troops, therefore, were re-embarked and
returned to Fortress Monroe.

Deaf of Hon. ". T.. Dayton.

BY telegraph, we have the an
nouncemcnt of the death of William
l.. Dayton, United States Minister to
France. Beyond the fact that his
death was the result of apoplcxy, we
have no details.
Mr.. Dayton was born at Basking-
ridge, N. j., on the 18th of Februa-
ry, 1907, and was the son of Joel
Dayton, thrifty and intelligent far
mer. lie graduated at the College
of New Jersey in September, 1926,
subsequently studied law, and was ad-
mited to the bar Of his native State
in May 1880. Seven years after,
he was elected to a seat in the State
Council, or Senate, and was made
Chairman Of the Judiciary Commit
tee. lie was chosen one Of the As
sociatc Justices of the State Supreme
Court on the 28th of February 1888,
which position he resigned in Novem-
bcr 1868. At the death of Hon.
Samuel l.. Southard, I S. Senator,
in 1912, he was appointed by the Gov.
to fill the vacancy, and in March lS-
- his appointment was confirmed:
he was at the same time elected for
for term of six years. He was
United States Senator from July 9th,
to March 4th, 1851. During his
Senatorial career, he maintained the
right of Congress to legislate with re-
spect to slavery in the territories Of
the United States. His views on
this question we're given fully in a
speech on the treaty with Mexico in
lS47. He warmly supported the ad-
m:nistratiye policy of President Tay-
lor. He advocated the admission Of
California to the Union as a free
State, the abolition Of the Slave
Trade in the District Of Columbia,
and voted against the Fugitive Slave
bill. The Democracy being in the
ascendency in New Jersey at the ex-
piration of his term, Commodore
Stockston was elected as his success
sor. At this time Mr.. Dayton re-
sumed the practice of his profession
in Trenton, and was not much heard
of in public life until 1856, when the
RePubliconparty nominated him as
candidate for the Vice Presidency,
on the ticket with Colonel (GeneraD
John G. Fremont. Shortly after
President Lincoln assumed his duties
he appointed Mr.. Dayton as United
States Minister Plenipotentiary at
the Court of the French Empire, in
which exalted position he continued
with acceptance tillreleased by death.
His decease will he regretted by a

4 SUGAR Plum FOR JEFF. DAVIS.

A SUGAR PLUM FOR JEFF DAVIS.
The VirginianL legislature on Tues
day last adopted series of resolu-
tions upon the present crisis of of af-
fairs in the Confederacy, of which
the three foll2Ying are most signif-
cant:
"That it is the imperative and par
amount duty of the Confederate Gov
ernment to continue to devote its ut
most energies to the vigorouos prose-
cution of the war, as it is only by the
success of our arms that VIC can hope
to obtain honoroble peace, and pre-
serve the sovereignty and the liber-
ties of our people from destruction.
So that end this Commonwealth will
endure every sacrifice, until the free
dom which is our heritage shall be
securely established in peace, under
the protection of Confederacy of
independent and sovereign States.
That the Confederate Government,
which is the centre and organ Of our
united exertions in war, has been also
intrusted with the power of conclu-
ding peace, by that constitution which
binds these states together, and this
commonwealth, belieying that the trust
has been aeisely reposed, for the COM
mon benefit, does not desire either to
withdraw the authority which has
been delegated by all the States for
their common safety, or to embarrass,
by irregular proceedings, tile Conted-
crate GoUernment IN its delscate and
difficult duty Of negotiating..pea and
that any proposition from the enemy
10 any of the States of this Confed-
eracy, to treat for separate peace,
is, in the language of this General
Assembly in 1882, insidious and in
admissible.
That unity both in prosecuting the
var and in concluding peace is abb
solutely essential to our safety, and
can be obtained and preserved only
by firm adherence to the constitu-
tional authority established by all
the States, and that this General As
sembly will not listen to any PROPOSE
ton nor suffer any negotiation incon-
sistent with their confederate faith
and union"
