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.
