PrOPects of Peace singleton and
Blair sent Ms Commissioners to
Richmond. r
New YORK, Jan. l2.-The Worlds
special says that the Democratic politician
who has gone on peace mission with
approval of the President, is Gen. Single
ton of Illinois. He preceded Blair day
or two.
1t is said that the rebel Congress has
adopted, in secret session, resolution 70
appoint Peace Commissioners, and they
have been selected and sent to Grants
headquarters. 1t is known that Blair
goes to Richmond with full knowledge
and consent of the President, and Is
clothed with authority requisite to open
negotiations with Davis with view to
restore peace, and the rebel authorities
will feel assured of this when he shows his
credentials.
The Instructions Of MIR. Blair-Pehce
Propositions 10 the South.
Mr.. Blar's instructions are embraced
in these propositions:
First. Amnesty to all, no matter what
they may have been since the war began.
Second. The Constitution as it is and
the Union as it was. The South to re-
turn to the Union with all the rights and
privileges which it held before any of the
States seeded.
Third. Total abolition of slavery.
From this point the President will not
retrace one iota. He does not insist upon
immediate abolition, but that measures
may be taken to secure its extinction
within reasonable length of time.
Davis Favors NeYotintiOns-The Pre-.
sident Firm, but ConciliRting-
why Butler was Removed.
1t Is stated on what seems good authori-
ty, that Davis is strongly inclined to peace
measures, and willing to accept less lib
eral terms than at first supposed. Lin
coin on the other hand is disposed to be
as lenient as possible, but insists that the
FIRST public action on the part of the South
must be to lay down its arms, and ac-
knowledge the supremacy of the Union.
There Is no desire to humiliate the South
it is to bow to the Union, not to the
North. As an instance of temper of the
Administration to obtain peace, it is said
that Butler was removed, not solely Tor
his incompetency and misdemeanors, but
also as an evidence that our Government
is disposed to treat with the South on lib
eral terms, and is willing to remove any
obstacles that may stand in the way OF
perfect understanding with that section.
Rebel Peace CommissiOners Appoint
ed-They are on their Way TO WASH
inRtOn. a..
It is reported that Rives and Ord are
now on their way to Washington on
peace mission.
1t is said that Grant has telegraphed
that Stephens asks permission to pass
through our lines TO visit Washington.
The Times Washington special learns
that the rebel peace commission consists
of Vice. President Stephens and Judge
White, of Georgia Boyce and Orr, OF
South Carolina Leech and Gilmore, of
North Carolina Rives, of Virginia, and
Smith and Singleton, of Mississippi.
This special also says it is feared there
is no hope of passing the constitutional
amendment aboIishing slavery.
Rebel Accounts OF Gen. Burbridge's
Raid.
The Richmond Wings account of Bur-
bridges raid, says it is impossible for
Breckenridge to defend his lines with his
present command. He demands reinforce
ments, and says that when Gen. Gilen
commenced preparations for his move
ment from Knoxville, Burbridge appeared
at Beans station. Breckenridge thought
we designed evacuating East Tennessee,
and wished to cover the movement Of our
stores into Kentucky. The whols country
was taken by surprise. When the enemy
(Federals) came to Bristol, he captured
telegraph operator and forced him to give
calls for the different Offices on the entire
line. He telegraphed to breckenridge and
obtained all the information he desired.
His advance in Abingdon and Glade
Springs was a complete surprise.
Hoods Report-MevemenIs of Gen.
Th0mas-HoOd at COrinth.
Hoods official report of his defeat has
been received, and puts as good face
upon it as possible, but it acknowledges
the loss of fifty guns in oHe day.
The Richmond Dispatch says even ac-
cording to his account the battle of Nash
Vile was bad business. The Dispatch
thinks Thomas will turn and head his
columns towards the Southwest.
The Examiner thinks this would be
stupendous undertaking. with but the
faintest hope of success, and thinks it
more probable that Hoods army will be
kept in Tennessee as corps of observa-
ton, while large detachments will be sent
as reinforce1nents to Virginia and Louis
lana.
Beaureeard telegraphs from Macon that
Hood reports from Tupela, Missississippi,
that Thomas was moving up the Tennes-
see river on the 4th, with six gunboats
and six transports, towards T1 Eastport.
CAIRO, Jan. H. - Inc remnant OF
Hoods army is reported fOrtifying Cor
inth with the view of going into winter
that he is repairing the Mobile and Ohio
Railroad.
