The hire of slaves is fixed by the secretary of
War, not to exceed twenty-five dollars per month.
VII. In distributing the impressment in various
localities, regard will be had to the wants, the con
dition, and the position of the localities. Credit
must be given, of course, for all slaves procured un

DAILY TIMES.
EVENING EDITION
TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31. 1865.
Thr Pbnitbntury Convicts. —We learn,
says the Intelligencer, that Governor Brown
has furloughed the Penitentiary convicts for 30
d.iy#, who have been ia service, and doiug, it
is said, gallant duly since they were released
from imprisonment on the approach of Sher
man i<> the Capital, and will grant lo each
one of those u full pardon, as soon as his Ex
cellency is advised that he has joined some
command to serve during the war. It is
thought that these furloughed prisoner# will
everv one of them enter the service in accord
ance with the privilege entended to them.
The course pdrsued by the Governor iu refer
ence to thee*** unfortunate o;*a is wise, hu
mane, and jurt.
Tils Army Rebuking the People.
We publish this morning a short communica
tion from a private soldier at home ou furlough
in Jefferson county. He is not a Macauley with
the pen—but that matters little, the heart, the
true heart, is there. He says in a private note :
“Will you please publish the few pages accom
panying ihia. They are the sentiments of almost
every man from Georgia in Hood’s army, when
I left it a short time since; and l trust Mr. Editor
yon will be blessed in your efforts to support tho
cause. A failure would not fall so heavily on
the rich, but iny God what would become of us
in limited ciroumstaucos. These meetings and
the giving vp of the people at home are ruining
the negroes and injuring,us ; dissuade the people
from this.*'
We also publish another communication from a
wounded Coloaei of an Alabama Regiment, which
it*s the true tons. In a tetter accompanying bis
article he says :
In 1860, I edited in Montgomery, Ala., the or
gen of the Bell ana Everett party. I was not a
secessionist per se, but bon:, raised and educated
iu the South, all my feolings au t interests were
identified with her, and when the question involv
•and a struggle between the sections. I could not and
did not hesitate as te my position and duty. Vol
unteering in the ranks from that time until re
cently I hare been eegaged in active service in
the field. The extent of my ambition has been to
do my duty to my country; I trust that I have
done so. Commanding a Regiment in nearly
thirty engagements, some of them very sangui
nary ones, I escaped unhurt until, during Shcr
man’s march through Georgia, I was severely
whunded near Waynesboro’, and had the misfor
tune to lose a leg. lam but a disabled soldier
now, and of course, can afford to talk brave
ly ; but aside from this, in my judgmeut, our only
safety depends on maintaining our separate inde
pcndeoce; and, so far as I am concerned, I am
resolved never to submit to reconstruction oa aay
terms so long as I have a Jlsger left to pull the
trigger of a pistol.”

Railroau Eupi.otrks.—Mr. Sparrow offered the
following :
Ruolved, That the President be requested l*
communicate te the Senate the information asked
for ia the resolution of the Senate adopted ia No
vember last, e# to the number of persons in each
State exempted from military service by reason of
beiag claimed as State officers ; and also the fur
ther information in response to the resolutions of
the Senate of the 9th of November last, as to the
number of exemptions and details for express,
telegraphic and railroad companies, Ac., which
the Chief of the Bureau of Conscription stated in
bis letters communicated to the Senate, in part
response to said resolutions, was then being pro
cured.
Mr. Sparrow stated that such information aa had
been furnished by the Conscript Bureau was scan
ty, incomplete, inaccurate and unsatisfactory. The
resolution was adopted.
Grm. Thomas in North G*or»ia. —The Au
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel of the 22d iust.
says: A gentleman just from Dalton reports
Gen. Thomas hag commenced repairing the
rail road between Dalton and Atlanta, and
will advance towards the latter city as fast as
circumstances will admit.
At this point (Atlanta) we have no such
advices, and do not believe there is any foun
dation for the statement. The informant of
our Augusta coteruporury must be mistaken.
It is well, however,, for those ia charge of
military posts at and beyond Atlanta, on the
State road, to look into this matter. There
are many families who have been driven from
Cherokee Georgia, who desire to return to
their farms and homes there, some of whom
are now en route, and who may be induced to
return to their places of rsfuge during their
exile, on such statements. Some official state
ment of tbe true condition of the country be
tween ibis place and Dalton, would be of ser
vice to all such, and acceptable to the public
generally. Atlanta Intelligencer.
A Valuable Maohinr. —We recently paid *
visit to the great labor and time saving ma
chine invented by Greenwood & Batley of
Leeds, England, and purchased upon its recent
arrival in Wilmington by Colonel R. B. Bul
lock, of this city, the Superintendent of the
Southern Express Company. Colonel Bul
lock has had this most valuable machine put
np at Government Navy Machine Works of
Messrs Milliken Sc Harrall, on Reynold* street,
where it has been in successful operation—
only experimenting however, for the benefit
of some of our prominent Government officials
and contractors, and master mechanics.
The machine is very simple in construction,
and in shape very much like a steam punch
ing machine; in principle somewhat on the
plan of a sewing machine, and is intended to
cut leather or cloth of any description.
We saw it cut through five thickness of sole
leather, and sixty thickness of gray Confede
rate clo'h, for soldiers’ coats and pants. The i
great feature of tbe machine is nu endless
knife, which runs over two wheels, and is ca
pable of being turned to suit any shape re
quired to be cut out of the materia! u-ed.
From sixty to sevrnty-Sve suits of clothing
can be cat at one time, and ten or twenty pair
of boots at once.
It occupies bat a very small *pacc v -n set
up and in motion, and one can do the
work of at least fifty. —Augusta Chronicle.

The Q,ucstiou of Negotiation.
The idea of Jefferson Davis negotiating
himself out of existence, or*a!!owing himself
to bt* negotiated out of existence, as President,
of the Southern Confederacy, is one which
must btfebard of entertainment by those who
comprehend his character, or who have stu
died his rebel!oue career as it has appeared
in his speeches, proclamations and deeds dur
ing ihe last four years; or who have noted
the desperate expedients and projects he him
self has set forth within a short time. If Du
vis has any prominent characteristics, they
are self-possession, determination, energy—a
self possession not to be affected by any event
or circumstance, or course of events or com
bination <*f circumstances —a determination
which will scruple at nothing whatever to
compas- its ends—an energy unflagging, ca
pable of executing, under any circumstances,
whatever is dictated by necessity or his judg
ment. In the greatest stress of fortune he
has never given, any sign ot toe least yield
ing; and, whoever among the rebels might at
any moment be discouraged, he has always
stood imperious and firm, hurling maledictions
and defiance, and backing up bis most despe
rately ferocious words by 3till more fiendishly
ferocious deeds Ho has had concentrated id
his hands all the power that exists in the
South; and over and again has he sworn that
to the end, and to the last extremity, would
he use all that power for which this great re
bellion was projected, and has been for lour
years prosecuted. He has wielded and now
wields those powers with a skill which eveu
his enemies must pronounce consummate.
It is true that those powers «re rapidly be
ing exhausted. But we need not deceive our
selves by fancying that they are not still great.
Sherraau bears witness in the dispatch from
him which we gave yesterday, that there are
abundant supplies for armies m all parts of
the Confederacy ; and of tho magnitude of the
troops and garrisons he has elsewhere, we
have too many proofs. He has tried many
■desperate expedie ts; but the proposition he
has just made to arc: the negroes shows that
he still has other expedients left. While
things are thus, we expect to receive neither
propositions for the surrender of bis army, or
tbs existence of the Confederacy, or hi* awn
power.
Northkrk Opinions ov Blair’s Mission.—
Mr. Blair has returned from Riehinend. He
reached WashiDgtoD Yesterday. Os course he has
not yet proclaimed the result of his visit, if it has
! had any result, and will only de so when he—or j
{ the President—shall think At. Meantime ve may j
; safely presume that the war is net over—that the 1
; rebellion has not yet collapsed—that the Uaiea is |
| not practioally restored. But we abide in the j
\ faith that Whatever the direct steps of Mr. B.’a ]
visit to the Confederate capital, its influence will j
conduce to the re-uuion and paeificatiun of our j
: country.— [N. Y. Tribune.
Does any one suppose that either Blair or Sin
gleton can change the expressed determination of
Jeff Davis and the o,her leaders of the rebellion, ]
! that there shall be no peaco until the Cenfsdsraey i
i is an established Power, or until the last man and
j the last shinplaster are gone? If there he any
| who think so they are deceived. Both partis# are
! going to fight this warier out. Tbe suppression
: of the rebellion, the submission of its insurgent
leaders and followers to the Government and laws
they have endeavored to overthrow, are the only
; terms upon which peace can be restored. Grant,
! Sherman, SberieUu, Thomas, Farragut and Porter
j are to be the pacific* or#, not Colorado Jewett,
i Horace Greely, Francis P. Blair or G*a. Single
| ton.—[W. Y. Herald.
[From tboNew York Times.]
The Government seeks peace earnestly and with
a determined purpose to secure it But it does not
seek it through negotiations es any sort with the
rebel Government—still less on the basis of what
the leaders of the Government may indicate in
conversation with individuals as terms upon
which it will be conceded. President Lincoln and
j those associated with him, the Union men iq Con
gress and elsewhere, regard the war waged against
! the Government as a rebellion ; they determined
j at the very outset to treat it as such, and to sup
! press it by force of arms; and from that time to
I this, in spite of discouragements and defeats, in
j spite of open hostility from those whose political
; sympathies are with the rebels and of the more
\ dangerous counsel of timid and mistakes friends,
‘ persevered in that determination.
At the last election the issue was fairly made
: throughout the loyal States, and the people by an
| overwhelming majority, decided in favor of that
; method of restoring peace, instead of the opposite
I plan proposed at Chicago, of restoring it by nego
tiation. The Government has accepted that de
[ cisioD as an imperative endorsement of its policy,
, and is pursuing that policy with fresh onergy and
j is pursuing that policy with fresh energy and aug
’ mental vigor. It seeks peace and freedom Ihrough
war—more resolutely and more exclusively than
, ever before. And there has never been a time
1 since the war began when it was less inclined than
• now to seek peace from Confederate authorities in
: any way.
[From the Philadelphia Inquirer.]
j All the talk about Southern Independence must
1 cease, »r.d the ancient authority under the Consti
tution of the United States must be restored oyer
every part of the laad. The only hope of the na
tion is diplomatists like General Sherman. They
will settle the question forever, and ;cach rebellion
such a lesson that future generations will be re
lieved from the possibility of suffering under such
a scourge.
