Tihs Confederate Peace Commission

on the subject.
Tire Sentiments of the Regular Army.
—A Washington correspondent states that
the President has received from Gen. Sher
man a very important letter, not yet publish
cd, in which the General gives in his adhe
sion without reserve to the President’s policy
of reconstruction. General Sherman was
prompted to this course, as is stated and be
lieved, by a feeling of resentment at Beast
Butler's threats to wipe out the regular army
if U should support the President or obey his
orders when Congress shall unconstitution
ally and arbitrarily arrest, suspend and de
prive liim of his office. It is confidently as
serted that the whole army, embracing all its
prominent General officers, resent Beast But
ler's menaces. Gen. Grant, it is likewise
said, is even more indignant than Shcnnan at
the conduct of Butler.

OF THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH.
New Orleans, Oct 23, I860.
• In making up a letter of correspondence, I
fear I shall be very dull anrl prosy, on account
of the dearth of anything new or interesting.
The item-gatherers of the daily press are at
their wits’ end to get up a sensational para
graph. In the absence of other things, it is
natural that the newspapers should give over
and over again the particulars of the loss of
the Evening Star; and it is necessary, per
haps, that I touch upon it also. Upon that
ill-fated steamer were members of an opera
company, from Paris, under the management
of M. Alhaiza, coming to this city to fill an
engagement.
‘ The latest particulars of this terrible catas
trophe, disclose the fact that the crew of the
boat, in their anxiety to save themselves
murdered several of the passengers who at
tempted to board the life-boat which these
sailors had in possession. If these disclosures
are correct, these men should be tried for
their lives.
New Orleans is a gay city—essentially
Frenehy In its "make-up;” for instance, the
theatre opens Sunday night, with os much
success as any other time during the week.
One can either say his prayers or play doini
noea—can patronize either religion or the
billiard-table. Canal street, ono of the finest
streets in th; world, it is said, is filled with
the elite of tliu city fifteen hours in tho day-
One sees here the blushing blonde, the im
perious, haughty creole brunette, and all the
intermediate and lesser degrees of beauty;
yet, strange to say, one is somewhat surprised
to finif so many common women—that is to
say, so muny women who are only pretty
In a large city like this, I expected to see
hundreds of beautiful women on every hand,
but only once in awhile a beauty flashes
along, and is lost among the smaller
lights.
The Germans composing the Turncsrcrcin
and Bundesvcrein Societies of Turncrs.inuugu
rated their auniversarv festival, last Sabbath,
at the Fair Ground. Previous to the inaugur-
tionof the festivities, a procession was formed
in the city,which made quite a brilliant display
as it moved along thiough several of the
principal streets, keeping time to the splendid
music of Yaeger's and Gesnicr’s bands. The
most attractive and welcome feature, perhaps
was the appearance of a large beer wagon
drawn by six beautiful bay horses.
The places of amusement are patronized
extensively by people of almost every class.—
Tlie Varieties Theatre is crowded nightly, and

Tlie great attraction in the lower part of

crowded from pit to dome last Sunday even

population, to hear three pieces quite popu

Washington, Oct. 23d, 1800.
A mongrel, though rather limited, combi
nation, embracing tho Jacobin clique, who
hover about the many avenues to the public
crib, and a drummed up attachment of indo
lent and pauper negroes, accompanied with
a band of music, visited the •Chronicle office
last evening to listen to a speech from the
immaculate (?) “Dead Duck” Forney, who is
not so defunct that he is unable to be a prom
inent candidate for the State’s Senate. They
were regaled with a protracted account of
his Herculean labors in the late canvass in
Pennsylvania, and fully enlightened as to the
future course of policy ot his revolutionary
party. The advocates of the Administra
tion policy seemed to be equal in strength to
the chosen and faithful Gideons, and made
the welkin ring with plaudits for President
Johnson. This not being in the programme,
one enthusiastic Johnson men, for his loud
advocacv of the Administration policy, was
arrested and carried off by a policeman, who
holds his place at the hands of the Commis
sioners appointed by the President.
A large force of workmen are engaged in
felling the forest of trees which stood upon
the square, adjoining the old Department of
State, and making other changes, preparato
ry to beginning the work of razing the old
building the make way for the erection of
the north extension of the Treasury.
The archives and paraphernalia of the De
partment are being removed to the new office
on 14th street.
There is a strong influence at work upon
the Administration, with the purpose of se
curing an official demand upon England for
the losses sustained by cruisers of the Confed
erate steamer Alabama.
Orders having been issued to prepare par
dons for several gentlemen in the South,
mostly of those under the $20,000 exemption
clause, P. C. McFarland, of Ga., is of tho
number pardoned.
The effort being made by tbc large nuin-
l>cr of employed printers here in the govern
ment and private offices to establish eight
hours as a day’s duration of work at the rate
of $24 per week, has resulted in bringing.op-
erations to a dead halt in the government
office, and most of those conducted by pri
vate enterprise. At a recent meeting of the
typographical society, it was resolved that
from and after the 14tli instant, eight hours
shonld constitute a day’s work. The law of
Congress establishing a government office,
provides that the salary and hours of labor
labor shall be in conformity with those of
similar establishments. The proprietors of
the several private offices having united in a
card to the first Comptroller of the Treasury,
(wno has the auditing ot all printing bills for
the Government) in which they set forth that
whilst willing to pay the wages demanded,
they decline tc accede to the request for a
curtailment of working hours. Uupon recep
tion of the communication, the accounting
officer of the Treasury notified tho supci iu
tendent of printing that his requisitions for
labor under the eight hour system could not
be paid under tlie law; and hence the strike,
which occurred at noon on Friday last. At
a large meeting of the society last evening, it
was unanimously determined by the soceity
to adhere to their fixed demand. Some few
of the private employers have receded from
their first position, but tbc position of tbc
Government must remain unchanged by the
law, unless tbc recession should be made

The President’s

Parties were admitted until four

Pennsylvania, had a protracted conference.
The export cotton tax has worked so dis

tention as a punishment to the people of the

is any necessity for its further collection as a

Brought to Justice.—Two men calling
themselves Robert Johnson nnd James Brit
tain, charged with, horsestealing, wereJodged
in our jail on Wednesday, the latter in a very
critical condition from the effects of a gun
shot wound in the side.
The facts in the case arc these: It appears
that on the night of the 21st inst. a mule was
stolen from the premises of a Mr Forrester, in
Lee county. As soon as Mr. F. was apprised
of tbe fact he started in pursuit of the thieves
and traced them as far as this place. Upon
arriving here, Policeman Tincr was detailed
to accompany him and they immediately
began the pursuit again andlsuccecded in fol
lowing the thieyes to within a few miles of
Fort Valley where they overtook them.
Wien ordered to halt Brittain leaped from
the buggy (for it appears that they lmd stolen
a buggy also) and endeavored to make bis
escape, whereupon Policeman T. fired upon
liim with a doublc-bnrrel shot gun charged
with firs pi.-tol shot and a full charge ol'suinll
shot, the entire charge taking effect under
Brittain’s left shoulder. Brittain returned
the fire with a Colt's Navy Repeater, but hap
pily without effect. The prisoners were then
taken in charge and transfer!ed fo this place,
from whence (being unable to give the bond
imposed) they will be removed to Starkville
to await their trial. Policeman Tiner, who
gives us this statement, deserves much credit
for his perseverance in bringing theso men
to justice.—Sumpter Republican, 27.
From tbe Columbus Sun.
Under the attractive title of the “Lost
Cause,” Mr. Edward A. Pollard, a former at
tache of the Examiner office at Richmond,
has presented to the public, what he claims
to be the Southern side of tbc history of the
late war. The subject is one which enlists
the sympathy and attention of every pei son
directly or indirectly interested in a loss
which it would now seem has involved tlie
existence of constitutional liberty, and this
fact joined to tbc graceful nnd vigorous com
position of Mr. Pollard, will doubtless carry
money to the purse of the would-be histori
an. Though the book bos been but a short
time in the hands of readers and reviewers, it
has already excited considerable, and 6omc,
very sharp criticism.
It appears that though Mr. Pollard has
made a very valuable compilation for future
historians, in many instances he has neglected
the first duty of a historian—accuracy—and
that under circumstances which do not admit
of the excuse of a want of reliable data. The
erratic temper of Mr. Pollard is also frequent
ly exhibited, and many passages in his book
would indicate a savage desire on liis part to
band down to posterity, with the “ Lost
Cause,” the lost character of many of those
men who spent their best energies to save it
from destruction.
The press of the country lias been compell
ed to “vindicate the truth of history’' at
the expense of Mr. Pollard’s reputation os a
historian. Much labor of a similar character
yet remains for it to perform. The most stri
king instance of this character which has fall
en under our observation, is contained in an
article from tho “Mobile Advertiser and
Register,” which wc append to these remarks,
and which correctly presents a most interest
ing and important transaction connected with
the late war, and, which either from preju
dice or ignorance, is grossly misrepresented
by Mr. Pollard.
In reference to Mr. Pollard’s chapter on the
Peace Commission sent to Washington before
the commencement of hostilities, the Regis
ter says:
After stating tlie resolution of the Confed
erate Congress upon the subject, Mr. Pollard
proceeds to say:
“In pursuance of this resolution, and in
furtherance of his own views, Mr. Davis de
puted' an embassay of commissioners to
Washington, authorized to negotiate lor ( the
removal of the Federal garrisons from Forts
Pickens and Sumter, and to provide for the
settlement ot all claims of public property
arising out of the separation of the States
from tho Union. Two of the commissioners.
Martin J. Crawford, of Georgia, and John
Forytlie, (tie.) of Alabama, attended
Washington, arriving there on the 5th of
March.”
The misspelling of the name of one of the
Commissioners is a trifle, but the ignoring ot
the existence of another of them is a more se
rious historical error. Tbc author makes no
mention here, or throughout his whole narra
tive, of the late Gov. Roman, of Louisiana,
who, as one of the Commissioners, was asso
ciated with Messrs. Crawford and Forsyth
and was present with them in Washington,
He docs not seem to have been aware of his
existence.
The author proceeds to relate the circum
stances that followed the arrival of the Com
missioners in Washington—their communica
tion to Mr. Seward, the refusal of that fane
tionary to give them nny official recognition,
the mediation of Judge Campbell in the un
official communications that followed, the
deception practiced by Mr. Seward, etc., etc
Tbe mere fact* are stated with tolerable ncj
curacy, but as to the comment* of the histori
an, the reader may judge for himself from a
few extracts which'we shall make, italicising;
certnin passages. The sapient and critica
author says:
“ It was confidently explained to the com
missioners that to treat with them at that
particular juncture might seriously embarrass
the Administration of Mr. Lincoln with pop
ular opinion at the North; and they were re
commended to patience and urged to confi
dence by assurances which keener diploma
tists than those ill-chosen representative* of the
Confederacy might have had reason to doubt.
“ But at last, at the opportune time, thi
game with the Commissioners was to be ter
minated. Puli and eredulotu a* they tcerd
their attention was at last attracted to tlie
extraordinary preparations for an extensive
military and naval expedition in New York
and other Northern ports.”
the Fourth ot March, we should have been in
in great danger. Every day lessens nnd will
continue to lessen the dangers of war to us.
* * * * * * * For
tlie present, we desire you to continue your
past policy. Time is as necessary to us as to
them—in myjudgment far more so. Wc are
strengthening nnd solidifying every day, and
grow stronger nnd better prepared for any
Site that may await us. Therefore, as long
as they ask lor time, concede it without hes
itation. * * * *
Wait with patience as long as it can be done
with dignity and honor. ’
These extracts will suffice to show the in
fluences under which the “dull,” "duped,”
nnd “credulous” Commissioners were acting
in submitting to the long delay of the Fede
ral Executive. As a further evidence that
they were not duped or “hoodwinked,” tlie
fact may be stated—now that nobody can be
harmed"by it—that they had information
from the White House itself that the Govern
ment was practising a deception and did not I
intend to keep faith with them.
It is tbc self-satisfied and ambitious
annalist that is “ hoodwinked ” by the con
ccit of possessing plenary information with
regard to subjects on which his knowledge is
really very limited.
To avoid possible misconception, it may as
well be distinctly understood that the letter,
from which the above extracts are made, was
not addressed to the Commissioner who was
a citizen of Alabama, and that this article is
not from the pen of either of the Commis
sioners. We are not sure that cither of those
gentlemen would take the trouble to vindi
cate themselves, and are merely written in
continuation ot tbe former article in Mr. Pol
lard’s work, for the correction of some of liis
errors, and to put the reader on his guard
against others.
Pure—Cheapo—Plenty
Fratricide.—A Cincinnatti date says two
men named Montoy, twin brothers, on Satur
day morning last, while intoxicated, met and
quarreled at the house of Fred. Weeden,
Sheriff of Mason county, Kentucky, near
Washington, three miles back of Maysville.
The quarrel originated about a horse, and
one of ‘the brothers called the other a d—d
thief, whereupon the latter attacked him with
the swivel of a log chain, and beat liim in a
terrible manner, until tbe one thus attacked
drew a knife and cut liim through the heart,
killing him instantly. The other’s injuries
are of such a character as to make his recov
ery a matter of great doubt.
Alive and Kicking.—The Boston Journal,
a Radical paper of the most pronounced type,
has the candor to say in a recent issue:
It will not escape the general attention,
now that the smoke of the recent election
battles is over, that there has been no great
change in the strength of parties in the North
for the last six or seven years. There is tlie
Republican party on one side, and there is
the Democratic party on the other—neither
having died out, according to frequent pre
dictions, nor been set aside by any overwhel
ming popular uprising. This view of the
master may not be very exbilerating to Re-
puDlicans of ardent temperament
Fenianism.—New Tori, Oe\. 23.—The Fe
nian headquarters here present a lively ap
pearance. Forty thousand uniforms are said
to be making. They will be similar to those
worn by the United States army, with the ex
ception of the buttons. The raps are to have
band of green ribbon, and the “harp of
Erin ” is to be represented on the front.—
There is no truth in the report that Col. Rol>-
erts has sold the arms under bis control to
Santa Anna.
Jumped Overbord.—Three prisoners—
well know robbers and horse-tbieves, named
Charles Laven, Phillip Wilborn, and Benja
min P. Nutt—jumped overboard from the
steamer Bart Able, on her last trip from Tren
ton, Ouachita Parish, to New Orleans, and
were drowned. The Sheriff had chained
them together for safe keeping during the
night. • They were probably struck by the
wheel, on reaching tlie water.
Marriages.—We are informed by,a fair
friend, one who is reputed to be of the
“ knowin’ sort,” that there are to occur in our
city between tills and Christmas no less than
seventeen marriages. Go it boys, there is
nothing like it. No telling what’s in store
for you. “ There’s life in the old land yet,”
and there may be a great deal more alter a
while. Who knaws ?—Americas Republican.

Again:
“While tbc Confederate Commissioners
were thu* beinghoodteinled and betrayed, the
reinforcement of Sumter was the subject of
cabinet consultation,” Ac., &c.
This intelligent and impartial historian thus
represents tlie Confederate Commissioners ns
listening with an easy credulity to the assur
ances of Mr. Seward, and blindly and idly
wasting time in Washington while tbc Gov
ernment of the United States was making
preparations to crush tho Confederacy and
amusing them with excuses tor delay.
The truth is simply this—that Mr. Pollard
does not know wlmt he is talking about. The
Commissioners were not the dupes ot Mr.
Seward. They were never “hood winked” nor
deceived ir the matter. They did not sub
mit to tlie delay for tbe sake of pleasing
Mr. Lincoln or Mr. Seward, but to accom
plish their own purposes, and in obedience
to instruction* from their oien Government.
The Commissioners went to Washington
with instructions to obtain as much delay as
possible, in case they were unable to accom
plish the primary object of their tni-sion—
the peaceable recognition of the Confederate
States. The instructions were renewed and
reiterated with urgent emphasis, from time to
time.
In proof of these assertions, we are permit
ted to make some extracts from a letter ad
dressed 1 y the Confederate Secretary of State
to one ot the Commissioners, as late as the
1st of April, or nearly a month after their ar
rival in Washington. In this letter Mr.
Toombs, after speaking of the hesitation of
of Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet to decide be
tween peace and w ar, says:
“If they had accepted war immediately on
In the United States there are seven
hundred and fifty paper mills in active ope
ration. They produce 270,000,000 pounds of
paper, which, at an average of ten cents per
pound, would be worth $27,000,000. As it
requires about a pound and one half of rags
to make one pound of paper, there arc con
sumed by these mills 400,000,000 pounds of
rags in a single year.
Grain Crop op the Northwest.—Chica

Minnesota represent that the crops ot corn
in those two States have been materially re
duced by tbe heavy rams early in tbe month,
while the wheat crop will not exceed, if it
reaches, two thirds ot an average. The dam
age throughout Minnesota lias been almost
universal.
Florida Good Faith.—The Floridian
says:
“In Florida, we have heard of no move
ment for the repudiation ot private debts.—
