From Vicksbdrg.

We make the following extracts from a
private letter dated at Vicksburg, Dec. 12.
Gen. Dana, who IS in command of this de-
partment, says there shall besno cotton plant
ing done this year. and I think he win prevent
it. There Is nothing SO profitable as cotton
raising if the government would either assist
or remain neutral; but SO far the military from
Gen. Dana down to the meanest negro in the
ranks, have thrown every possible discourage.
ment in the way, and there is not much chance
of raising crop.
The river is very high and still rising, and
many anticipate an overfow-but think the,
levees are cut so much that the high lands will
be safe. Gen. Stevens, of Glencoe. is Treasury
Agent at Natchez, and doing well. The whole
valley of the lower Mississippi is now in the
hands OF the rebels, except patch Of ground
embracing a few houses at Memphis, Helena,
Vicksburg and Natchez.
So far the winter has been more tedious and
severe than any ever endured in Minnesota.

Amended Enrolment Bill.

A dispatch from Washington says Gen.
SoHENoK has reported, from the Military
Committee, the following amendments to
the enrolment bill The LIST section makes
it the duty of every man to have himself
enrolled at once, and of every boy on arriv-
ing at the age Of twenty to do the same /;
no one is to be freed from enrolment on
account of physical disability; bis name
must 60 on the rolls any way, and the
question of disability is one which must
afterwards be left to the Surgeons. An
other most important change made, is to
hol dany drafted person who may put in a
substitute responsible for the service ofhis
substitute. If the substitute fails then the
person originally drafted is called upon
again, either to furnish another substitute or
to enter the service himself. ..

Butler and Pierre SOule.

While BUTLER was in New Orleans,
he ordered the arrest of PIERRE
SouLR, former friend, one of the most
uncompromising Union men in the State.
This was cited by Buffers toadies at the
North as proof of the noble sacrifice of
personal feeling on the part of BUTLER to
national interest. A correspondent of the
Providence Post is, however, ungracious
enough to relate an anecdote concerning
the relation between the two men which
dispelled this theory. This correspondent
remarks that at the Charleston Conven-
ton of 1860, BEN F. BUTLER and PIERRE
SouLE, appeared as delegates to the con-
vention. BUTLER was elected as a firm
friend of DOUGLAS:
He proved treaeheroas to him douglas and
tried to break up the convention by opposing
Douglas and supporting Breckenridge He was
co-worker with Yancey. He went back to
Massachusetts to stump his State for Breckin-
ridge. Soule was one of the delegates from
New Orleans. He made Q brilliant Union
speech, and in favor Of Douglas. He exposed
the rottenness of the Breckenridge party and
the dlsunlon tendencies of its supporters. He
was very severe on Butler. and was hated for
1t by Butler; Soule and Butler went home.
Then came secession. Soule resisted it to the
last Butter next entered the city as con-
queror By and by. Soule is arrested and ban.
ished into exile. Batter did not forget his
hatred.

and large number Of officers, including Gen.
Whiting and Col Lamb. The gunbOats are
now in the river and Wilmington is sealed

The rebels have destroyed the works on
Smiths Island. and if they do not destroy Fort
Coswell It is of no use to them.
You must not expect too mich at one time.
These works are tremendous l was In Fort
Malakoff q few days after its surrender to the
French and English. The combined armies of
these two nations were many mouths captur-
ing that stronghold, and it wont compare eli.
ther In size or strength to Fort Fisher.
The fort contained seventy-hve guns, and
many of them were heavy ones. have not
yet learned what our casualties are in killed
and wounded, but I think 800 will cover them
all. We had bad explosion in the fort this
morning, which killed and wounded number

The Peace Negoti ations.

If We may credit the telegraph. Mr..
BLAIR has again started for Richmond, and
thu committee on foreign affairs in. the
rebel Congress have reported in favor of
sending Commissioners to sue for peace.
These facts, # such they shall prove to be,
will exotic expectations in the minds Of
some, that the war is rapidly drawing to
close. We fear these expectations will
not be justified by the results The par
ties in the dreadful contest now going on
are too wide apart to come together again
without such mutual concessions as nei-
ther will be inclined to make until suffer-
ing and exhaustion shall have operated eff
fectively to moderate the demands of each.
The object of the South in the initiation
of the war, was independence, and in its
prosecution, through four years of carnage.
the rebel chiefs have never intimated that
peace would be accepted on any other
terms than the recognition of the South
ern Confederacy. In the beginning the
war was prosecuted on the part Of the
North solely for the restoration of the
Union, and all designs other than this we're
emphatically disavowed by the highest
authorities of the nation. The President
in his messages, and Secretary SEWARD in
his correspondence, repudiated the idea
that in any event would the domestic in
situations of the South be meddled with.
Now, the North, through the President,
has proclaimed slavery abolished, and
every effort is being made, while the South
is unrepresented in Congress, to amend
the Constitution in accordance Herewith.
More than this. Laws have been passed
prohibiting States from resuming their
places in the Union, with their old Consti-
tutions intact.
This is concise statement of facts, and
shows how wide asunder the two belliger-
ents are, and how little ground there is for
hopes of immediate cessation of hostili-
ties. The acknowledgment of the South
ern Confederacy is out of the question, and
the return of the South to its allegiance,
with confscatlon, abolition and disfran-
chisement measures unrepealed, cannot
reasonably be expected until its suhjuga-
ton is complete. While there is no doubt
that the present condition Of the Southern
fortunes, and the consequent condition of
the Southern mind, is eminently suited to
make wise and judicious plan of pacifi
cation successful, we have no idea that
our rulers are prepared to rise above their
party issues, and thereby save their coun-
try from further bloodsbed. We shall

The DRAFr.-Forney's Press Of the 22d
ult. says that "the call for quarter of
million new soldiers is itself victory"
In other words that Republican paper,
whose editor holds a fat Office, calls the
impending draft "victory.' If it is a
victory it must be of the same kind as the
reelection of Mr.. Lincoln, which did not
throw the public into fit state for rejoic-
ing. Such victories are rather trouble
some and expensive.

The London Times on Snerm am

The London Times of December 29th
discovered that there was nothing to pre-
vent SHRRMAN's march through Georgia.
1t began its leading article of that day
thus:
In the American contest the fortune of
war has again favored the cause of the
Federals. The year is likely to end with
one of those successes which keep up the
spirits of the Northern people and urge
them to persist in the task they have un-
dertaken. Where Sherman will come ont
is no longer matter of doubt. With no
little skill and daring he has pushed across
the State of Georgia, and made bis way
to its chief city.

which, if it be tenable, win prove of the
highest importance. The case at issue in

ed by Congress on March 8, 1s63 provid-

under his authority, made at any time dur
ing the existence OF this rebellion, shall be

prosecution, civil or criminal, pending or
70 be commenced for any search, seizure,
arrest or Imprisonment" etc. 1t was by
virtue of this act that all the arbitrary ar
rests" were made, during the rebellion, in
the non-rebel States, and it was that which
shielded the authors of such arrests from
the civil law. The decision of the court in
the case referred to was that the said en-
aetInent twas in violation of the Constitu-
ton of the United States, and afforded no
protection for acts done under it," Accord

The correspondent of the ,Ne'o York
World, who rode withthe "oil raiders" on
their recent expedition, thus sketches a
character which he met on his winding
way: i...r.,
Riding up a lane off the main road, a
party of us came upon couple of wells
which, pumping and flowing, together gave
their owner about three hundred barrels OF
heavy oil daily. Near by the busy engine
stood the man whose average income of
three thousand dollars a day would put to
shame anything on the assessors books Of
the metropolis. In the ordinary working
dress of well-to-do farmer, he was en-
gagged in overseeing his men preparing oil
for transportation. Not far of was the
dwelling house, unchanged, we were told,
in every respect from its former modest
appearance. nconversation with the pro-.
prietor, we found that his two sons and one
daughter were at school in New England;
the father adding with no visible sign OF
undue elation: ''You see, gentlemen, want
them to be able to take care OF and spend
sensibiy the big pile of money the old farm
is giving them"

BuIly for the Boys i'm Biue-HOw
'si the IS5th Voted.

/ We have just received letter from r. j.
SummersetJ and Havier Sch9ffer, of the
p. lS7th o. v. l., stationed at Macon, Ca, Civ
ing the result of the election in that regi-
ment. They say that there was an abun-
dance of Abolition tickets furnished by the
officers, but no Democratic ones, and that
if county tickets from all the counties rep
resented in the regiment had been fur
nished, as they were from Ross, the regi-
ment would have given a much larger
Democratic vote than it did. The vote in
the re giment stood as follows: Morgan l34,
Cox III. There were twenty-eight votes
polIed from this county, and TwENTY-sEyEN
OF. THEM WERE FOR Morgan. According
to the ethics of Abolitionists these brave
boys must all be COpperheads and traitors.
What do you think about them, neighbor
Miller? hthe majority OF the army vote
comes in this way the Abolftionfsrs will
open their eyes to the fact that the soldier
voting law has expired of its own limta-
tion. We propose three cheers for the
1S7th, and particularly tor her patriotic
boys from old Ross. The 1S7th is to be
