uuTrender nugatory all rebel designs for future raids across the border. It is sup posed that as soon as it becomes a law our State Department will no longer en force the passport system so tai as re Utes to Canada. Nothing additional has yet been made public regarding the progress of the neace conference between President Lincoln and Secretary Seward, on*the p ae side, and Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell on the other, Though many rumors of an extraordinary character are current. The three latter gentlemen arrived in Hampton Roads on Thursday afternoon, on board one of General Grant’s special despatch steamers, along side of which immediately ran the river Guyon, having on board Secretary Seward, and the two vessels were anchor ed together in the stream, in.which position they continued during the re mainder of the day. What transpired be tween their distinguished passengers re mained a secret at the date of our latest ad vices. We have as yet no announcement of President Lincoln’s appearance on the scene of negotiations. Our despatches give m >st interesting accounts of the progress of the rebel commissioners to City Point, and of the enthusiasm of the soldiers on both sides when they entered the Union lines. All firing was sus pended, and the opposing pickets enter ed into free conversation. The State Legislatures have taken hold of the constitutional amendment' for the abolition and prohibition of slavery in good earnest* Those of the following States have already ratified it, and others have taken it up and have its adoption pending: New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan, Ma ryland, Rhode Island, West Virginia,— In the Legislature of this State the pas sage of a bill is necessary to complete action on it. This has not yet been en acted ; but still, as both houses have adopted by a decisive vote a resolution in its favor, we may consider the matter virtually settled. In the Senate the res otution received seventeen affirmative aid eight negative votes, and in the Assembly seventy-two affirmative and forty negative. The Steamer Ben De Ford arrived at Hilton Head this morning, bringing dates to the stb, which contain impor tant news respecting the peace move ment. We embrace all that has reach ed us in the following ; President Lincoln and Secretary Sew ard had an interview of considerable length with Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Senator R. M. T. Hunter and Ex-Judge Campbell, commissioners from the Rebel Government, on board a steamer in Hampton Roads; and it was asserted by those who were well informed, that an honorable peace may soon be attained. No other question will be considered in Congress until this one is finally settled. We will give further details to-mor row. The report reached us at so late an hour that we are compelled to con fine ourselves to the salient points, and to defer the particulars until onr next issue The political heavens look brighter.— Ve believe that a satisfactory basis for ptace will soon be reached.
