of northern sentiment. y The rebellion
stands condemned and excussless, and
the outside line of conservatism seems
to be that which would modify the an-
nesty proclamation, and the more strin-
gent legislation Of Congress But In q
most important sense this, mission, If
honorably and fairly conducted, is wise
stroke of administrative policy. If the
authorities at, Richmond shall make 1t
manifest that their uftimatum is separa-
ton, then the war-party of the North
will be amply strengthened for all the
requirements of the government. And
hence it is better, in any light in which
this grave matter can be regarded, that
our people may be made to see beyond
peradventure whether CT not an honor
able peace is now -attainable. 1t is not
to be disguised that many wise aud good
men in the land think that a fair peace
is compassable Ualess this mission shall
be obse9ed aud disfgured BY diplomatic
trickey, the soHRty lriu soon be enabled to

From the Ne0 York Herald, January H.
THE SITUATION.

The prominent feature Of the news from
he James river is contained in the despat-
ches Of our correspondents detailing the
particulars of the accomplishment, by or
der of the President, Of the command Of
the Army Of the James by General Butler,
and the assumption of the position tenn
p~orariIy by General Ord, General Butler,
received the orderata bouthalf-past eIeven
o'clock on last Sunday forenoon, and be-
fore three o'clock on the afternoon of
that day he had made all his farewell
preparations, turned over the army to his
successor, and taken his departure for the
North.
Our Shenandoah valley correspondence
represents that the Inhabitants are suffer
ing from the scarcity oftood. and the re-
bel troops, who are quartered upon them,
render their condition still more deplora-
Bile. No new active military operations
of Importance have taken place in the
valley.
, 1865-01-27

Missouri, states that the Union garrlsoNs
have been withdrawn from all the posts
south Of that place as far as Fort Smith,
Arkansas, by order ofGeneral Candy.
A party of about sixteen hundred In
dams made an attack on JuIeSburg, Colora-
do Territory, ON last Saturday, robbed
the overland mail aud express, dispersed
a mule train, destroyed the stage station
and a large amount Of the telegraph ma
teriaI, and killed nineteen soldiers ana
citizens. A severe fight took place be-
tween the Indians and the troops, the lat
ter numbering altogether less than a hun
dred but the former were finally driven
off, with the loss oftbeir chief and twenty
four others killed. Their design was TO
massacre all the whites In the settlement.
Iu consequence Of applications OF mer-
chants OF this city for permission to re-
sumo trade with Savannah by shipping
goods to that place, Secretary of the Trea-
sury Fessenden has instructed our Gus
tom House authorities to give no clear
ances for that port on private account
for the present without special authority
in each case from the Treasury Depart
ment. This has already been granted in
a few eases. Collector Draper, who has
gone to Savannah to take charge OF the
captured cotton and rice, has taken with
him a full and efficient corps Of assist
ants, and is clothed by the government
with the most ample power fol pfo5ecu-
ting his important mission.
The enforcement Of the passport system
has nearly put an end TO the travel of fame
ricans in Canada. The passenger trains
on both the Grand Trunk and Great
Western railroads are now running near
Iy empty west of Toronto. Guards of
United States soldiers are to be stationed
at Rouse's Point and Moer's Junction,
to see that the passport regulations arc
strictly complied with.
Included in the contents Of rccentrebel
newspapers is an interesting anddetail-
ed narrative OF the late Union raid of
Generals S%toneman, Burbridge and Gil
lem in East Tennessee and West Virgil
MIA, so damaging to the enemy in the
destruction Of the salt and lead works
and q vast amount of other property.
Though an effort is made to represent
the extent of the I'M Jury as much less than
it really is, the writer cannot avoid ac-
knowledging that it was very great, and
derives some consolation from the fact
that, as the Yankees have now done all
the harm in that region of which they are
capable, some rest for the rebel troops
may be hoped for. The rebel Senate on
the 9th inst. adopted resolution of thanks
to their Indian allies of the Cherokee Ma
ton. The Richmond editors. are still
induIging il Qualifications over the fail
ure of the expedition against the Will
mington defences. Mosby is said to be
still alive and in a place of security, and
his early recovery is anticipated. In the
sharp discussion now going On between
the rebel newspapers, in which Jeff.
Davis meddling is charged as the cause
of all their recent disasters, some of them,
in his defence, assail General Lee as the
Marplot.
