further legislation was necessary to author
ize the President to call an extra session OF
Congress without giving sixty days notice,
reported and asked to be discharged. Mr..

quiring the President to give sixty days
notice. No notice whatever was required
by law.
Mr.. Powell, from the Judiciary commit
tee, reported back the petition of certain

New YORK, Jan. 12.-The Worlds WASH
| ington special says the Democratic polti-
clan who has gone on a peace mission, with
the approval of the President. is Gen. Sin
glcton, of Illinois. He precedes Blair day
or two. Its said the rebel Congress adopted
in secret session the resolution to appoint
Peace Commissioners, and they have been
selected and sent to Grants headquarters.
Messrs. Orr. of South Carolina, Gilmer, of
North Carolina, and Alex. ii. Stephens, are
ofthe commission. 1t is also said that Grant
has telegraphed that Stephens has solicited
a pass through his lines to visit Washing
ton. 1t is known that Blair goes to Rich
mOnd with the full knowledge and consent
of the President, and is clothed with au-
thority requisite to open negotiations with
view to restore peace, and the rebel au-
thorities will feel assured of this when he
shows his credentials His instructions are
embraced in three propositions: 1st, Am
nesty to all, no matter what they may have
done since the war began; I'd, The Consti-
tuition as it is and the Union as it was-the
South to return to the Union with all the
rights and privileges which it held before
any of the States seeded; Sd, The total
abolition of slavery. From this last point
the President will not retract. He does not
insist upon immediate abolition, buthe does
extinction within reasonable length of
time.
1t is stated, on what seems good authori-
ty, that jeff. Davis is seriously inclined to
peace measures, and willing to accept more
liberal terms than it was at first supposed
he would. Lincoln, Oh the other hand is
disposed to be as lenient as possible, but in
ssts that the first public action on the part
of the South must be to lay down their
arms and acknowledge the supremacy of
the Union. There is no desire to humiiiate
the South. 1t is to bow to the Union, not
to the North. Under no circumstances will
any proposition be acceded to which does not
embrace as the first step, laying down arms
on the part of the South. AS an example of
the temper of the Administration to obtain
peace, it is stated that General Butler was
removed not solely for incompetence and
misdemeanor, but also as an evidence that
our Government is disposed to treat with
the South on liberal terms, and is willing to
remove any obstacles that may stand in the
way of a perfect understanding with that
section.
1t is reported that ex-Gov. Rivcs and cX-
Gov. Orr are now OH their way to Washing
ton on peace mission.

Rebel News From savannah.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-The Richmond
| Wing OF the 10th has the following items
from Savannah:
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel OF
| the 4th inst. publishes q number of news
| items derived from a gentleman who left
Savannah on the 1st inst. The most perfect
| order is maintained in the city. No soldiers
are allowed to interfere with the citizens in
any particular. A citizen was arrested by
a drunken soldier Il few days since. The
citizen knocked the soldier down. The Off
Ger OF the guard, as soon as he arrived, said
nothing to the citizen, but had the soldier
taken to the Barracks, gagged and soundy
whipped for his misbehavior. A drunken
soldier who undertook to create disturb
ance recently, and who refused to allow
himself to be arrested, was shot down at
once by the guard.
One or two of the insurance companies
of Savannah are considering the project of
establishing National Bank for the issue
of greenbacks.
The Custom House and Postoffice are be-
ing cleaned and repaired, preparatory to
the commencement of business again.
The soldiers are not allowed, under any
circumstance whatever, to- enter private
residences. The negroes in most cases are
orderly and quiet, remaining with their
owners and performing their customary
duties.
One store with goods from the North has
already been opened. Nothing but green
backs are in circulation. The churches on
Sundays are well filled with ladies. On
week days, however, but few of them are
seen on the streets. A majority of the male
population have remained in the city. The
families of most Of the men who have left
still remain. A majority of the citizens
have provisions for some time to come, but
there is a scarcity of wood, and Gen. Sher-
man has announced that he will soon reme-
dy this last difficulty, by getting wood by
the Gulf railroad and hauling it to the citi-
zens. No pass is allowed to any male per-
son to 90 toward the city. All females
caught going toward the city are thorough
ly searched.
Eleven hundred loaves of good bakers
bread, which had been collected for the
soldiers of Sherman's army, but for which
authorized agents did not call, were on
Thursday turned over to the Poor Associa-
tion of Savannah by the committee acting
in relief of soldiers, and were distributed
to the poor of the city. twas truly kind
and providential gift, for the city is entire
ly out of breadstuffs of every kind, and for
days past have been unable to issue pound
of meal or flour to the hundreds who were
sorely in need of it.
The Wing says: We are glad to hear of
the arrival of Col. Mosby at his fathers
residence at Amherst. His wound is doing
well, and he expects to be able to return to
duty in q short time. The Yankees will
have another account to settle when he
gets back.

APosi,ive and Interesting Fact


-"Facts are stubborn things" no matter
where found. 1t is positive and at the
same time most interesting fact that our
sick soldiers, who are so fortunate as to OBJ
tain bottle of PINKERToN's WAHoo AND
CALIsAYA BITTERs, gain strength much
faster, and are sooner able to do duty on
the battlefield, than those who are de-
prived of them. This Is owing to the stub
born fact that these Bitters are the greatest
renovator and purifier of the blood ever be-
fore offered to the public. This is no idle
talk. No one ever used these Bitters but
was highly delighted with the beneficial
results arising from their daily use. We
are glad to learn that steps are being taken
to supply the sick soldiers In our camps
and hospitals with these Bitters. 1t is a
humane and benevolent object. Druggists
and wholesale dealers always have these
Bitters for sale. The genuine article has
the name of Jacob Pinkerton blown on
each bottle. ..4,r

Attention, scventh Warders.

There will be meeting of the enrolled
men of the Seventh Ward, at Kimball &
Reid's Shoe Store, at the Goodale House,
this (Friday) evening, at o'clock, for the
purpose of procuring funds to fill the quo
Ia of said Ward. You all understand it,
Come one, come all, and let us act prompt
ly and act together, and the work will soon
be done. You may think it hard to pay so
much money to keep the Ward clear OF the
draft, hut will it not be infinitely better
than to submit to the draft, as the Ninth
Ward has done, and have draft every few
weeks, until all the enrolled men are draft
ed? Wewant your money now while men
can be had, and at a less figure than they
can be had few weeks hence. A hint to
the wise is sufficient. If you will not come
up promptly and pay over your money,
those that are ready to pay will clog to-
gether and protect themselves, and leave
you out in the cold. . . ......

burg-'7'he Pence COmniissiOu.

NEW YORK, Jan. 12-The Herald's Shen-
andoah Valley correspondent says there are
rumors that the rebels have moved down to
Strasburg, but it is thought not in sufficient
strength to annoy Sheridan.
The Times Washington special learns
that the peace commission consists of Vice
President Stephens and Judge White, of
Georgia, Messrs. Boyce and Orr, of South
Carolina, Leech and Gimer, of North Caro-
lima, 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 abolishing slavery.

Part of SI,erman's Army at Beau
f0rt-The Richmond Enquirer
ON Recommendations.

New YORK, Jan. 12.-The steamer G. G.
Collins, from Port Royal 9TH, has arrived
Part of Shermans army has arrived at
Beaufort by water.
The Richmond Enquirer of the 9th says
no man would be safe in Virginia who
dared to exhibit the least willingness to
reconstruct, even upon the most favorable
news. The people of this State have taken
Gen. Sherman at his word, and mean to
fight it out like men. They ought to hang
any man, be he Congressman or legislator,
or common councilman or private citizen,
who exhibits the first act towards submis-
sion or reconstruction, and we believe they
will do it.

Maximilian and Ecclesiastical
PrODertY.

New YORK, Jan. 12.-Late advices from
Mexico state that Macmillan has issued a
manifesto directing revision by his ministry
of titles and claims under which eccle-
siastical property has been for some time
held, and in effect declaring that it belongs
to the State, and that it is in the province
of the Government to exercise superior
control over it. 1t appears he opened ne
gotiations with the Pope while in Rome on
the subject, but to his great surprise finds
the Nuncio just arrived in Gayoso without
instructions in the matter. lie therefore
boldly asserts his own policy, and it is said
it was received with enthusiasm.
Five thousand of the Belgian Legion had
reached Mexico, and more were coming.
Nothing later from San Domingo.

LAST NIGHT OF THE NEwcoMDs.-The

b. Walker, recently arrived from Sherman's
army, via Savannah, yesterday certified in
to the State Treasury soldiers allotments
collected by him, amounting to the sum Of
$350,236 10. This sum is mainly from
soldiers in the 43d, 63d, 32d, 39th, 18th, 9th,
6Sth and Goth o. v. l., and the 9th and 10th

PERsoNAL.-To Justin Morrison, ESQ.,
who has, for two years or more, discharged
with fidelity and efficiency, the duties Of
clerk in the State Comptroller's Office, we
are indebted for many courtesies. We are
gratifed to learn that, under the new
Comptroller, Mr.. Bradley, Mr.. Morrison
takes the position of Chief Clerk. This is
a station for which he is well fitted by his
ability and experience in the office.

THE CITY.
THE FAIR.
Hts Great Success s-.Prizcs Drawn
The Oak street Lot TO be Put i'm
the Wheel, &C.

The ladies' Fair at Naughton Hall, the
longer it is held, becomes the more pros
porous. Last night the crowd of visitors
at the Hall was even greater than on the
night preceding. At nine o'clock last even
ing, the number of tickets sold at the ticket
Office In the building, was some fifty or six
ty more than had been sold in the same time
on the previous evening.
Many valuable prizes have been drawn
from the churn or wheel, used to decide the
question of prize or no prize. We have not
room to name but few of the prizes yet
drawn. Among the more valuable area
fine painting of Holy Cross Church in this
city, drawn by Ii. Hessian; Grover &
Baker Sewing machine, by C.P. l.. Butler;
an elegant lamp, by III. Brlggaman, and a
gold watch and chain, by Joseph Stoner.
Numerous prizes, and some Of the most
valuable ones, are yet to be drawn. The
Knabe Piano will probably find an owner
tomorrow evening. The valuable lot on
Oak street, donated by Mr.. Bartlett, will
be likely to pass to somebody early next
week, for the insignificant sum of two dol
lars, that being the price of the tickets, the
number of which is limited to five hun
dred.
Let 1t be borne in mind that children un-
der fifteen will be admitted to the Fair In
the afternoon of to-day and tomorrow, at
ten cents each.
Go to the Fair tonight by al MEANS
Everybody admires it, and praises its OBJ
ject as most worthy and noble one.

and from whom the property was taken,
preferring not to prosecute, the case for
