No change ia froat of Mobile.
Tiie enemy are still below Pasca^oMa.
Jacklox, Miss., Saturday , Jan. ■
-Twenty-three horses, six hundred bales
of cotton, commissary and quartermaster
stores were burned at Summit, on
the Mississippi* seventy-five miles south
of Jackson.
Gen- Tavlor telegraphs that the enemy
in some force came toward Clinton. Ba
ton Rouge and Bayou Sara and return
ed. Activity is represented on the Mis
sissippi, and troops are passing up and
down.
(From the Richmond Examiner, Jan. 30.)
Blair, on recently leaving Richmond,
proceeded only as far as City Point, and
there opened telegraphic communication
with Washington, and in consequence of
this communication, three emiuent per
sons, after consultation with the Presi
dent, have determined to proceed to the
Yankee capital, their safe conduct being
assured by the Washington authorities,
for purposes which have been tully dis
closed to the public. The persons are
Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President
of the Confederate States, R. M. T. Hun
ter, Senator from Virginia, and the Hon.
j, A. Campbell, formerly Assistant Sec
retary of War. They left yesterday
morning in the Petersburgh train, in
tending to go by way of City Point.
Mr. Blair was not in their company, as
was generally reported. There is a di
versity of opinion as to the point to
which these gentlemen will go. Some
say they have safe conduct to Washing
ton, others that they, will be stopped at
Fortress Monroe. It is positively kuovvn
that these “Commissioners,” as they are
called ou the streets, were not nominated
to the Senate ; that their names were not
in any way sent to that body, or that
they received any commission or ap
pointment from the President; and that
thus, therefore, their mission is without
any official qualification.
The provisions of the Constitution
which apply to such matters are plain
and indispensible. The President has
power to negotiate treaties, but only
that they may be submitted to the ac
tion and determination of the Senate ;
may appoint commissioners when Con
gress is not in session ; but when that
toody is sitting, he can do nothing more
than nominate them to the Senate. _ Va
rious rumors have attached to this ir
regular visit to Washington, but we
have very good reason to believe that
nothing preliminary to the visit has
passed between Richmond and Wash
ington, but general expressions of the
desire for peace, and that the “so called
Commissioners’’have merely gone tor
ward to Washington in the general hope
■of reducing this desire to something
more definite in the way of provisions.
The events of Saturday gave occasion
for reviving a report of certain complica
tions at Washington with European Gov
ernments, as the probable explanation
©1 its motive in making What was appa
rently an attempt, on its part, for a nego
tiation of peace at last, for the first time
since the beginning of the war, through
Confederate commissioners of any char
acter to the Yankee Capital. Additional
occasion was made for such rumors oy
-circumstances that a courier, with dis
patches for Richmond, had lately been
landed from the Tallahassee, on the
North Carolina coast, and it was rumor-'
-ed that these dispatches might have ref
erence t 9 some new phase of the old
story of foreign intervention. We hap
pen to know that dispatches from this
vessel are expected at the Navy Depart
ment, and that they were lauded some
days ago, about BO miles above Cape
Fear Piver; but whether they had arriv
ed, or what was the official anticipation
of their contents, we were unable to
learn. This is the whole extent of the
story of “European dispatches,” as far
as known at present writing, Another
rumor comes from Washington, by a
“gentleman from the Valley,” who says
that the French Minister there had tie-'
manded his passports, becausa of the
insult to bis Government implied in the
Appropriation Bill, making appropria
tions for the Minister of the Republic of
Mexico. By last acvices in
newspapers this clause has only passed
one branch of the Yankee Congress.
(From the Richmond Sentinel, Jan. 30.)
Messrs. A. H. Stephens, R. M- T. Hun-
ter and John A. Campbell, left Rich
mond yesterday on their way to Wash
ington, to confer with President Lin
coln on the subject of putting an end to
the war, if possible. The circumstances
under which these gentlemen have de
parted on their mission, art* understood
to be as follows; Mr. F. P. Blair having
so *ght an unofficial and confidential in
ter view with President Davis,' departed
for Washington with an assurance that
our President would be willing at any
time, without obstacle of form, to
send agents or commissioners to Wash
ington to confer about the terms of
peace, if informed in advance that said
commissioners would t>e received.—
On Mr. Blai's second visit to Richmond,
he brought tile consent of Mr. Lincoln to
receive and confer with any agents in
formally sent with a view to the restora
tion of peace. The three geutleir eii who
last yesterday, were thereupon selected
by the President, and they have gone
without formal credentials, and merely
as informal agents to see whether it be
possible to place a conference for peace
on any basis which may serve for attain
ing so desirable a result. It is possible
that success may attend their efforts, but
wisdom and prudence demand that we
indulge in no confident expectations on
the subject, and that-we relax not one
moment in energetic preparation for the
ensuing campaign.
From the choioe made by the Presi
dent we may rest assured that no means
will be left untried to effect peace, if it
l>e possible to obtain it. But if these
three eminent citizens selected for that
purpose shall fail in their attempt. One
good result will certainly have been
reached. All discordant counsels on this
subject will have become reconciled, and
it will no longer be in the power of fac
tions, or the timid, to persuade the
people that, peace can be received by
any faith other than that opened for us
by stout hearts and stout hands.
