The New York Times of the fith instant bag the following dispatch from Washington : THK SOUTHBIIN COMMISSION KBS’ VIEWS. Lieut. Talbot is expected here to morrow night with dispatches from Major Anderson. In courersstioa last night, Crawford, one of the Commissioners from the Southern Confed eracy, said he anticipated only pence, and de clared that lie spoke advisedly in eayiDg that the Confederate States desired nothing else.— But, if Lincoln did not desire peace, they were prepared in accept whatever was in store for them. That they would open civil war rather than submit to coercive execution of any law cf this Government, and should maintain their independence at all hazards.— He claim* that the Confederaie Stales Govern ment is growing daily in strength, and can af ford lo wait peaceably for the development of Lincoln's policy. To day he again declared hie conviction that there was nothing in the rumors of warlike movements by the Admin istration. LATEST NEWS! ■*- 1 . J m . ■ Rpecttl to the Oe8etHiUoe*U*t Duel Near Pensacola* Montuombky, Ala., April 8.—The duel, whiob baa bees the subject of much conver sation for some days paat, haa been amicably adjusted. The prinoipolawere Mr. Banks, the editor of the Moetgomory Confederation, aud Mr. Moats, a resident of Charleston, and n reporter or correspondent for the Charleston Evening News, at Montgomery. The duel came off in (he neighborhood of Pensacola. Only one shot waa exchanged. Mr. Beaks’ ball pasetd through tbo lapol of Mr. Moses' ooat, but neither parly was hurt. Mr. Stephen** Speech. The speech, the other day at Savannah, of Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate Stales, which we publish at length in another part of this paper, will attract at tention. Jt may ho regarded in the light of an authoritative declaration of the policy of the new Government. Mr. Stephens clung lo the Union ao long na there was a forlorn hope that it could bo preserved; he entreated the re publicans to throw out a plank upon which the Union men of the South could stand ; and only succumbed to revolution when it became an accomplished fact. These facta give great er weight to hia present posiiion, and his uni versally admitted candor and integrity and patriotism give value to 'hear present views which be bus made public. It will not do to call such a man traitor, nor to regard the Government in which he holds so conepicious a place as the product of evanescent rebellion. —Vetriot Free /Vets. Departure or tiieGatr City Guaeds and Newnan Guards.—A large crowd assembled at the depot Saturday morning to witoese tbe departure of the Gate City Guards, of Atlan ta, and the Newnan Guards, of Newnsn.

They will land at ihe ter minus of the Mobile and Great Northern Rail road, and proceed 42 miles over land to War rington. The Brigade ia 1,700 strong. “Louisville Blues."—This is the name of the company which passed through Columbus Saturday morning, for Montgomery. They are nearly all residents of Louisville, Alabama, and have gone to Montgomery without the knowledge of the Governor, for the purpose of tendering their services lo the State or Con federate Stales. Prom our knowledge of the personnel of the company, we are assured that the Government could not accept the services of a more efficient and reliable body of men. Valumhus Sun, 8ih instant.
