Special telegram 10 the Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, January 2.-The cable
reports of the purpose of Mr.. Burlingame,
our Minister to China, going to Europe as
a commissioner of treaties between foreign
Powers is not credited by the Administra-
ton. No permission for absence on such
service has been asked by Mr.. Burlin-
game, and the State Department would
not grant permission if requested.
The report that General Schofeld pro-
poses to make removal of State officers
in Virginia is not credited in official cir
cles here. The President knows nothing
of such purpose, and he has no control
over the subject. General Grants power
in the matter.is but reyisory.
Governor Sharkey is among the recent
arrivals here.
The President will probably send in his
message to Congress on the condition of
the southern States about the middle of
next week. WALLACE.

My Dear Sir,-We are advancing ra-
pidly to the end Of "thc Union" The
cotton States may now be regarded as
| having decided for secession. South Ca
rolina is in quasi war, and the probabili-
ties are that events will hasten her and her
associates into general conflict with the
forces of the Federal Government. The
Black Republicans, eXultant over their re-
cent success, are not disposed to concede
anything and the stern necessity of re-
sistance is forcing itself upon the judgment
of all the slaveholding States.
The Virginia Legislature met yesterday,
and took promptly and boldly the southern
ground. Mississippi is now in conven-
ton.
may leave here in few days, though
it is also possible the State may choose
to continue its Senators here for the pur-
pose of defence against hostile legislation.
The confidence heretofore felt in Mr..
Buchanan has diminished steadily, and is
now nearly extinct. His weakness has
done as much harm as wickedness would
have achieved. Though l can no longer
respect or confer with him, and feel I'M urcd
by his conduct, yet pity and would ex-
tenuate the offences not prompted by bad
designs or malignant intent.
With great regard, I am, as ever, your
| friend JEFF'N DAVIS.
