THE HAMPTON ROADS CONFERENCE = The
New York Times reproduces q portion Of the
account already somewhat extensively pub
lished concerning the mysterious conference
at Hampton Roads between Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr. Seward. on the one part, and
Messrs, Hunter, Stevens and Campbell, on
the other, brought about by a visit Of Mr.
F. P. Blair, Dr., to Richmond, in which, on
behalf Of the President, he made PROPOSE
tion to Mr.. Davis to unite with the United
States in, driving the French out of Mexico,
and the South might dictate her own terms
of reconciliation Will tie Government, ev-
erything short OF the independence of the
Confederacy being guaranteed. The Times
sees nothing improbable in this statement
as Mr.. Lincoln was known to be anxious for
termination of hostilities, and it finds
confirmation in the report of the conference
made by Mr.. Seward, and afterwards sent
to our minister to England, which shows
that the. Mexican scheme was discussed
thereat. It says that Mr.. Davis wrote to
Mr.. Lincoln. expressed his willingness to
SA0SA Aheo - SOhhVAChOS W bcCuI0 pedC0 10
the t,co countries, and Mr.. Lincoln, in reply,
had the same willingness with reference to
our common country; that he insisted that
oil idea of tro countries should be given
mp, and that the two armies should become
one, and march under the'common authori-
ty of the Union, and under common flag.
1t speculates as to what would come of such
an understanding had it been agreed to and
carried out, and says: -' ~
If Mr.. Davis had even then taken counsel
of prudence and love of what he called his
country, he might have avoided tsthe politi-
cal consequences OF its military subjuga-
tion," which MI. Lincoln foresaw SO clearly
and dreaded so much,S BE conld not have
saved slavery, but he could have at least
postponed negro suffrage, and have saved
for the Southern States something of the
local power and authority which they have
been compelled to surrender.
Mr.. Blairs proposition had in it the germ
of peace--honorable and useful to both
sections, if it had been used to promote
their union. But Mr.. Davis was deter
mined to make use of it only SO far as it
might be made to serve the ends of his
personal ambition; and the result is what
we see. tAbd -h

"Our doubts are traitors, and make us
lose the good we oft might win, by fearing
to attempt" Shakespeare, that great and
noble master in English literature, who held
the mirror up to Nature
Reflects the wisdom we might use,
If ignorance blind, did not abuse,
How oft do traitorous doubts arise,
To mar mans noblest enterprise
The good we lose we oft might win,
But for the lurking fears therein;
Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt
Nothing so hard, but search will find it out
Hence, let no doubts prevent you from
trying that inimitable medicine, 'HENIrsH's

regret at not trying Heinitsh's QUEENS DE-

Mono CLERKs.-The heads of depart
ments ut Washington have made q brisk be-
ginning of the business of appointing ne.
groes to clerkships. One of their last
negro appointees is q son of Fred. Dou-
glas. Whatever we may think of the taste
or wisdom of their negro experiment, we
are disposed to express no objection, so
they operate upon their own political
capital, giving up to the negroes por-
ton of their own official patronage.
OF course we know that they will give
no portion of it to Democrat, and
they can, for aught we care, divide out the
whole among radicals of different colors as
best suits them. We shall like very we'll to
see whether black radicals are more or less
efficient than white ones, more or less faith
full, more or less honest, but we apprehend
that the main rivalry between them will be
for the palm of inefficiency, laziness and
roguery. A cotemporary says that, if it
could be done in no other way, he swould
not object to see the country saved even by
negroes" Nor would we, but we might
afterwards consider the country as the
Queen of Lilliput did her palace when
Gulliver had extinguished the flames that
were consuming it-a thing unfit to live in.

TURKISH RULE IN EGYPT.-No sooner has
the Ottoman Empire succeeded in replacing
the yoke Of its heavy and oppressive tyran-
ny upon the neoks of tho brave people of
the island of Crete. than new danger
menaces its rule in the farther East. The
Sultan is in imminent peril of his losing
another Of his suzerainties The announce
ment now comes that the Egyptians are ac-
lively moving in the matter of complete
severance from the Porte. And who will
say that the accomplishment of this object
is wholly impossible? It has resolved itself
simply into question of time, and, it may
be, very brief time. What are the signs?
Practically the autonomy of the country is
already nearly complete, and the purpose
of the Egyptians to assert their independ-
ence is so general, that the only discussion
among them is as to the best method and
time of ridding themselves of their foreign
rulers Some of them favor an immediate
appeal to the European powers, while others
would quietly ignore the Sutans authority
and proceed upon the assumption that their
independence is already acknowledged.
The latter way would certainly be most
pleasant one of effecting great political
revolution The idea of securing independ-
ence in such mode would never have been
entertained had the power of the Sultan
been aught else than nominal in Egypt
Singular as the proposition may be deemed,
who knows but that it might succeed? The
French newspapers of the country, which
are popularly supposed to be subsidized by
The 7iceroy. congratulate the people upon
the increase in the strength of the Egyptian
army, which will enable the Government
"to wait upon events and, perchance, to
profit by them at an early period" The
completion of the Suez Canal, now gra-
dually approaching attainment, will bring
to Egypt vast increase of commercial
prosperity, and the Western powers cannot,
If they would, remain Indifferent to its po-
litical condition. Turkey, The 'ssick man
OF the East, )" is in a worse plight than ever
