The Richmond WAt9 Of the 2jlh says: "The extracts
from the Yankee journals copied in to.days paper,
may or may not afford clue TO the precise objects Of
lir. Blais present visit TO Richmond. We know that
be has had one or two interviews with the President
ea hey0nG us act nothing positive i known outside
Of official circles. Iumor says that Mr. Blair is an
unofficial medium Of communication between inc TWO
Presidents and that he is using all the privileges OF his
position, and whatever logic he may command, to IN
fuenee Messrs Davis and Lincoln TO agree to the pre-
hBrares Of an adjustment Rumor further represents
that Lincoln has indicated through his medium more
practicable and conciliatory disposition than the
world has given him credit for, but that he
still falls short Of the reasonable and indispensable
demands Of the Southern people All this is vague and
unsatisfactory bat eyerybody will DO content to remain
unenghtened for the present If the developments here
after to be made shall give any assurance of speedy
and honorable peace.

In this estimate the Provost MarshaGeneral has
taken into account all credits to which the several
districts are entitled account Of men raised up
TO December 81, 1864, including under former
calls.
In order to equazc this credit You will multiply the
quota Of the district by three thus reducing it from
three years to a years basis. 10 the product add
the Of years service and then distribute this
SUN 20 the seyera subdistricts, in proportion TO the
number enrolled in each.
This gives the number Of years Of service required
from each subdstrct increased Ivy the excess. From
this number deduct the which the sub district has
actually furnished, and the remainder is the actual
number of years service required which, divided by
three gives the actual number Of men required from the
