WHAT MRS. SENATOR FOOTE
SAYS OF JEFF AND HIS GRE ".

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-1he Times spe-
cial says: From an interview with Mrs.
Senator Foote it appears that her husband
resigned his seat at the time it was 80 re-
ported; that the Rebel Congress is slavish-
ly subservient to Davis; that when bills
meet with opposition the majority 60 into
secret session and rush them through; that
the character of the war has been changed
by Davis, and is now carried on for his
own purposes; that unless it can be ter
minated to suit him and his school OF poll
tics, he will carry it on more bloody and
barbarous than ever; that there is not the
slightest prospect of Mr.. Blair's meeting
with success; that the contractors do not
desire termination Of war, and are doing
everything to continue it,; that the great
mass of the people want to come back in
to the Union under the Constitution, but
are restrained by military power, and as
freedom of the press in this particular is
gone, there is no way for them to express
their views. 1t was for the purpose Of
serving these people Mr.. Foote endeavored
to reach Washington. = :.
Mrs. Foote says those who serve the
Richmond Junta live as well as ever, being
supplied with all Injuries at comparatively
small cost, as Government pays the expen-

no one said anything to me, and did not
say a word 10 any one. The next morn

streets all the morning, and finally l feit

This is the major part of the evidence,
which give nearly as it was taken down
by the reporter. There is no doubt what
ever that the woman is in state OF In
tense misery. Her opinion. from the mo-
ment of her first examination, has been
that she would be hung. But, as matter
of course. it was not case OF murder.
On the part of the man it was voluntary
death on that of the woman it was aide
ing and abetting desertion. The fact Of
the man having died does not alter the
punishment which il. due the woman. Had
she have gotten even to Chicago with her
burden, and at that city the affair to have
been discovered, she would have been re-
turned to this CITY, and her punishment
would not have been whit different After
the woman gave herself up in Baltimore,
she had an examination and was immedi-
ately returned to Norfolk, where she was
kept for three days, after which time she
received her trial as above recorded.
Judge Webster, after having consulted
with General Shepley upon the sentence,
returned to the court room and sentenced
her to the fine of five hundred dollars and
two years imprisonment at hard labor.

Geo. Seward, Esq, General Superintend-
ent of the Atlantic Telegraph Company,

Two tanks are on board the Great East

that the cable will be successfully laid and

ST.. LOUIS, Jan 16.-An officer from

The truthfulness of the report that

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE Republican

announces that Hon. F. P. Blair returned
from Richmond Sunday, and Immediately
left in a steamer for Washington. Mr..
Blair expected to arrive here sometime
this afternoon. I'd :cr
New YORK, January 1.-THE Herald's
Washington special says Blair's sole bust
ness to Richmond was to recover mum.

etc., taken from his house by rebels when
near Washington @ r.' FL
+ He was very kindly received and had
frank and free conversations with jeff
Davis and numbers of others, but these re-
suited in nothing definite.
The story published by the Richmond
Dispatch about Davis sending letter say
ing he was willing to receive peace COM
missioners, to President Lincoln, is all bosh.
The IFibune'S special also says no letter
was sent by Davis, and that he made no
sign of lowering the rebel flag. gsr
Ex-Gov. Jacobs, of Kentucky, who re-
turned with Mr.. Blair, reports strong
peace feeling among the citizens of Rich
mond, and even among officera of high
grade. He predicts there will be cessa-
ton of hostilities within two months and a
proposal for peace from the rebel govern
ment. MI,
This is contradiction of the indications
shown in the fact reported by an officer
from North Carolina, who says the rebels
already have three regiment of freed slaves
in the field.
The Times Washington special says it
is reported at the headquarters of the
Army Of the Potomac that Lee has sent
his family out of Richmond, and that
nothing but peace is talked of in that city.

question recurring upon the resolutions

for those offered by Mr.. TURNER, Mr.. No

offered the following resolution as sub
stitute for those offered by Mr.. BARKs-
DALE:
Whereas, According to the Declaration of
Independence of the United States and the
Constitution of the Confederate States, the
people of each Of said States, in their highest
sovereign capacity, have right to alter, amend
or abolish the government under which they
live, and establish such other as they may
deem expedient; and
Whereas, The people of the several Confed-
crate States have thought proper to sever their
political connection with the people and gov
eminent of the United States for reasons which
it is not needful here to state; and
Whereas, The people of the Confederate
States have organized and established distinct
government for themselves; and
Whereas, Because the people of the Confed-
crate States have thus exercised their undoubt-
ed rights in this respect, the people and gov
eminent of the United States have thought
proper to make war upon them and
Whereas, There seems to be difference OF
opinion on the part of the respective govern
ments and people as to which of the contend
ing parties Is responsible for the commence
ment Of the present war therefore
Resolved, That while it Is not eXpedient, and
would be incompatible with the dignity of the
Confederate States, to send commissioners to
Washington City, for the purpose of securing
a cessation Of hostilities, yet 1t would be, In
the Judgment of this body, eminently proper
that the House of Representatives of the Con-
federate States should dispatch, without delay,
to some convenient point, body of Commits.
sioners, thirteen in number, composed of one
representative from each Of said States. to meet
and confer with such individuals as NAV be an
pointed by the Government of the United
States, in regard to all outstanding questions of
difference between the two governments, and
to agree, If possible, upon the terms of last
ing and honorable peace, subject to the ratifca-
ton OF the respective Governments and of the
sovereign States respectively represented
therein.
Mr.. MoMUILKN proceeded to address the
House at considerable length, urging the
policy and the propriety Of the Govern
ment proposing some terms of peace to
the United States Government He be-
lieved this to be an unholy, uncivilised,
bsrbarous war, and thought that the Gov.
eminent should exhaust all means consis-
tent with its honor for the attainment of a
speedy peace.

Ex-senator Foote Taken In an At
tempt 70 Get away.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-Henry s.
Foote, formerly United States Senator,
whose late bitter denunciations of the jeff
Davis government in the rebel Congress
have excited 30 much attention, is the
father-in-law of Senator Stewart, just
elected United States Senator from the
new State of Nevada. This fact is sup
posed to have something to do with an
effort made by Mr. Foote to reach WASH
ington, the particulars of which have just
been developed. The government received
information last evening that in attempting
to escape from rebeldom and enter our
lines, Senator Foote was arrested at Deco
GUAM, on the Occoquan River, about fifteen
miles southwest of Alexandria. He was
accompanied by his wife. When found he
was at the residence of Mr.. HamMen.
Mr.. Foote was overtaken in his flight by
two rebel cavalrymen, who obliged Mr..
Hamme.l to harness his horse and wagon
and convey the captive as far back as Dunn
fries towards Richmond. The military au-
thorities of Alexandria were ordered to
send at once to Occoquan for Mrs. Foote,
and she was rescued and reached Alexan-
dria this afternoon. Mr.. FoOte and wife
were detained day after reaching Deco
quan tor want of facilities to cross the
river. Fears are entertained that jeff.
Davis may deal harshly with Mr.. Foote.
The government has taken steps to pre-
vent any injury being done. Should jeff
Davis be 90 rash as to take the life OF Mr..
Foote, it is probable that the act will cost
tho HIGHEST rebel official in Our custody his
lie.
Mr.. FoOte is a native of Fauquier coun-
ty, Va, is about sixty-ive years Of age,
and since 1926 has been resident of Mis-
sissppi. In 1S47 he became United States
Senator from that State, and its Governor
