JOMINI AND HIS CAREER.
Major General II al leek has recently pnblish
the first English translation of Jomini s Life cf
V:sin, the most thorough!j military record
of the career of the Emperor ever written.
Gen. Anthony Henry Jomini was born in the
. mail village of Payenne, Switzerland, on the
6th of March, 1779, and died during the last
year at the advanced e.ge of c-ighty-fqur years.
His family was of Italian origin, but had for
several centuries resided in the Canton of Wed.
He received such an education as the schools of
Switzerland could afford, and, having an am
bition for a military career, he entered at an
ear’y ago the school of the Prince of Wertevn
burg at ilonthtllard. He afterwards wete to
Peris, where he was for a time engaged in com
mercial pursuits, s.ill devotod to military pur
suits; at one time on the staff of Keller, and af
terwards in the office of the Secietary of War.
In 1805 he received an appointment on the
stall' of Marshal Ney, with whom ho passad
through the campaigns of Eim, Jens, Ejlau and
Spain, and was promoted to the rank of chief
of stuff for services in the ft-Id.
In these campaigns he acquired a brilliant
reputation as a : niff ufiicerand a strategist, but
his success made him enemies, among whom
was tjr.rtbier, tbe Major General and chief of
staff of the Imperial array. After the capitu
lation of Dupont, at Baylon, in ISOS, Napoleon
determined to direct in person the miii'aiy op
erations in Spain, and J.irniui wts aligned to
duty on the staff of Berthier: but rather than
lierve under one who had always been bis ene
my, he tendered his resignation, intending to,
enter the service of tho Emperor of Russia.
But Napoleon refused to allow him to leave the
scry ice, and placed him on special duty in Pa
ris, to enable him to write the histoiy of tbo
campaigns in Italy. When the war of 1812
between France and Rus.-ia broke out, Jomioi
not wishing to fight against the Emperor Alex
ander, who had o'ler.d him a high position in
the Russian army, asked the pacific position of
Governor ot a province, and was assigned to
the Governorship of Wilna. Ha was after
wards sent to replace Gen. Barbanegre in tho
government of Smoicnsb, and rendered most
valuable assistance to Napoleon in the retreat
from Moscow, especially ia the passage of tlie
B r.isiuu, at which place he was ordered to se
lect, iu conjunction with Geu. Ebie, the points
for placing the bridges
Ho cultured teriibly in his retreat, and pot
eral.times nearly perished. Jomini and Geu.
Negre, of the artillery, were the only officers
who iceeived the honor of being called to i’a

anew army;. He obeyed, but after his arrival
; ; n Paris was for three months unable to leave
It’s bed.
lie rejoined the army on the day of the bat
die t ifLu'zen, and was appointed by Napoieon
chief <J Ney’s staff, lie soon distinguished
hiniiCi f, and was recommended by Ney lor pro
motion to the grade of General of div.sion, but
Berthier interlered, and instead of rewarding
his service.charged him with incapacity, and
ordered bin. under arrest. This was more than
Jomini coulG hem; he! ft the French army,
repaired testhe headquarters of the Emperor of
Russia and was received irno bis service. His
conduct, after joining the Allies, was every
v. ay honorable, and ha refused lo answer ques
-i: ■;i,i put by tho King of l’lusf-iu concerning
ffie number and position of the Front!) troops.
Napoleon, in bin memoirs dedicated at St. He
lena, has cleared Jouout irom <he accusation
that ha conveyed to tho Allies the plans of tho
Emperor, and has given tue only excuse there
is for his desertion of the French —that htf had
groat injustice to complain of, and as he was
not a Fieucinnan, ho had no love of country to
restrain him.
During tho campaign of 1818, Jomini ren
dered valuable .services to the Allies, and when
their armies reached the Rhine, advued against
i■; invasion of France. When tho Allied Pow
ovs entered France, Jomini, on his urgent soli
j citations, was permitted to return to Switzer
land, ami, through the influence of Russia aid
ed in saving it lrom the intended conquest and
Subjugation by Austria.
When Uio Aiilns again entered Paris, iu 1815,
J on-ini accompanied tue Emperor Alexander,
aud ,«> warmly—though ineffectually—oppoJbd
the execution ol Marshal Ney, that it was pro
i>;h J to Strike liie wriG'j £rovn tho ot Kus
sian Generals. After the peace, he had accom
panied the Emperor to Russia, and was promo
ted to th;i rank of General in Chief-a rank
next to marshal, which nouecan hold who has
not gained a battle. Ho successively received
tho grand cross of St. Anna, St. Waldimir and
S: Alexander; assisted the Emperor at the
Congress of A>x la Ohapelle, in 1818, and at
the Gongra.-s of Verona, in 1824; was made
President of a committee tor organising the
diidary Academy; and was afterwards charged
wiih preparing plans for fortifying turd dei'end-
Rig the frontiers of tho empire.
Hu tho accession of Nicholas to the.throne,
1, 0 vi ii appointed Aid-de-camp General, and
charged with directing tho' military-education
of the Imperial heir.
Geu. Jomiui's first published wotk is hia
“Treatise<RJ GrAnd Military Operations,” which
appeared in 180-1. and is considered tho most
important of his works. In 1811 he began the
publication o! his “Critical and Military History
of the Revolution.” winch was.not completed
until 1824. It is strictly a scientific work, in
fifteen volumes, with four atlases. In 1827 ha
published anonymously the “Life of Napoleon,”
which Gen. Hillock has translated. The woik
is written as though it was Napoicgn himself
speaking, and the author represents him as
tirriod-in the Etysiau Fields, and relating to
the asseiubieu heroes—Alexander, Caesar,Fred
elide, and the lesser lights—the story cf his
wonderful career. It is said that Jor.iiniorigi
naliy intended to make it a more complete.his
tory of the wars of the Empire as a continua
tion of the history of tho revolution.
cU-il liaUeek tells a curioua story, which
shows Jomiai’s remafkab’e knowledge of mili
tary strategy, or what the French call strategic
iutiviion.
Having been summoned to the imperialhead
quUitvrs at Mayence, at the beginning of tho
dampaign of Jena, Napoleon said to him:
• i am delighted that the first bock which
eema strafes the true principles cf war has ap
peared hr my reign. No work like yours is
taught in cur unlita-y schools. Wo are going
to ligiit. Prussians. 1 have called you near me
because you have written on the campaigns of
Frederick the Great, because you knew his
army, and Lave studied tho theatre of the
war.”
J jmini asked for four days to get bis horse
: and i iptlpAge t: our die headquarters of .Marshal
Ney, ami aided that he would join his Majesty
at Pam Derg.
‘ Why at Bamberg?” said the Emperor.
•■Who told you that I am going to Bamberg.”’

‘ There are a hundred roads on that map,"
said Napoleon.
•■Yes, sire; but it is probable that your Ma

sians! he same mat seuvre which was made at
D mawerlh against tho right of Mac, and by
St. Bernard against the right ot Melas.”
•■Very w< 11,”.said Napoleon. "Go to Eam-
Jberg, but don't say a word about it; no one
should knowttbsa f 1 am going to Bamberg.”
Far>M Mobile by way of tub Norte—»A cor
respondent of the New I oik Tribune writing
f’om near Mobile, gays:
As matters now rest the advantages of tho

of Chicago, o r, e ball passing through his body,
penetrating his heart. lie sank upon the steps,
and, without uttering a word, soon died.

Tun Gold and tub Stock Market. —There is
every reason to. believe that a crash In the
g>Jd market must soon ensue, to the'great de
triment of the ha. t dcaen persons ia Richmond
who have speculated in the precious metal,
and to the manifest advantage of all others in
We bavp before referred to
the scarcity of Confederate money as exercis
lug a nerctsteut influence, which must soon
sneered in bringing gold down. That
scarcity ia now in a short time to become ex
treme-,'as we learn that (ho present policy of
the Treasury is so issue no more paper money,
not even to Ibe limit assigned by act of Con
gress, and that, indeed, the Department has
ulrvaAv n hu'ft; of clerks
heretofore employed iu signing Confederate
nottifi. The' pup- r money market is now so
pinched that the banks have cut off their loans.
Gold is now he'd at a purely ficliliqus price,
•on the strength of a t urner that the Treasury
had taken in some of its currency at forty-five
for one in gold; yet it cannot be pretended that
the Treasury is doing this now, or-that if herei
alter it chooses to take any more of its cur
rency, it will do it at the standard rate of
forty-five for one, and not at whatever rato it
can get in the market. So that the govern
ment operation has no effect whatever on the
price of gel J; except its general effect, by earl
- the circulation, and periodically sup
plying the iruiket wiih specie, to take the
price of gold down by successive steps, until
at last there is a healthy relation between it
and the currency.
It needs but a little reflection to show how
purely fiotitiops is the present price of gold in
Richmond. This is at once understood by com
paring it with the current value of government
stocks. The Yankees have succeeded very
well with a stock ;hst bears interest in gold
Now, our fifteen million loan—the only loan,
properly speaking, that our government lias
ever made, and that from its own citizens in
specie and at. par—is practically equivalent to
a gold int nest-bearing stock. Take ten thous
and dollars of this; twelve months interest on
it is eight hundred dollars; multiply it Wv for
ty-five, the present rate for gold in the brokers’
shops in Richmond, and we have thi-ty-six
thousand dollars in Confederate money as one
year’s interest on a government stock of ten
thousand—tho intmest, in fact, paying the
principal more than three times over iu twelve
months. Now, this is fictitious and monstrous;'
but solely so lrom tho fact tlmt we rate gold at
forty-five for one. This rate has. in fact, noth
ing to sustain it but a close combination of
fpreuiator?; and when that combination is
broken, as broken it must be by ii flirences
now at work in the -money maoket, gold must
come rapidly and surely down.-- Richmond Ex

Thm Hoc if of Shlep—For rainy day woik
ih the summer ti.no, there is no job better to
be attended than getting up the sheep and clip
ping their hoola into shape, if it was not done
at sheasing time. A sheep’s foot needs prun
ing as much as a fruit orchard, and it is a sign
of bad husbandry to see a flock of sheep with
ail sorts of hoofs, acme turned up like the toe
of a skate, some flattened out like an overgrown
el m shell, somw turned in like the dried up
rind of a pumpkin, very few with the neat,
shapely form whjph a sheep’s hoof should wear.
A frovv.-v, shelly, ovorgrT. hoof is always
catching and holding filth, so that the sheep
is liable to catch foul humors in the foot, which
uAy lead to serious results. Long, turned up
toes are a nuisance, often catching under roots
and giving the sheep a bobbing gait. All the
shell or overgrowth of the hoof which is not in
contact with the quick is so much dead lubbish
snd can be takeu off wi’hout giving pain, just
cs long finger or toe nails can be taken off
without giving pain.
This is a good job for a rainy day, because
when the hoof is soaurd it will cut easy, Ai
some of the hardware stores are kept stout toe
ninpers for this purpose; but where these can
not be had, the fiockmaster can do the job with
chisels and knives. For long toes, set the foot.
on a hard block or cn the barn floor, set the
chisel where the toe is to be cut off Utking care,.
that the toe rests on the floor or the block just
underneath the chisel, then a smart blow with
a mallet will shorten the toe in a jiffy; a few
cuts more in the same way will take off the cor
ners and leave the sheep free of iU hobbles.
For a shelly hoof, whether turned in or out, set
the sheep on end, and with a stout, sharp knife,
pare off the flanges of the hoof close to the live
sole. The work uiav be neatly finished by the
use of aWae sharp rasp, leaving the hoof in just
such shape as desired, and lies from cavities
where filth can generate disease. — Ohio farmer.

REPORT OF TflE COMMISSIONERS.
Richmond, Feb. 6.
The following was laid before Congress this
morning:
. Executive Ojficb, )
Ricnmond, Feb. 6, j
To the Senate and House of Representatives C. S,
Recently I received a written notification
which satisfied me that the President of the
United States was disposed to confer informally
with uniftioial agents that might be sent by
me. withal view to the restoration of peace.
I requested the Hon. A. H. Stephens, Hon. R.
M. T. Hunter and Hon. John A. Campbell, to
pioceed through our lines and hold conference
with Mr. Liucoln, or such persons as he might
depute to represent him.
I heresviih submit for the information of
Congress the report ot the eminent citizens
above named, showing that tho enemy refused
to enter into negotiations with the Confeder
ate States or anv of them separately, or to
give to our people any other terms or guaran
tees than those which Congress may grant;
or to pormi i. us to l ave a vote on
any other basis than on unconditional
submission to their rule, coupled with the
aocepUnce of their recent legislations, includ
ing the amendment to the Constitution eman
cipating all negro slaves, an l with the right,on
the part of the Federal Congress, to legislate
on the subject of the relation between the
white and black population in each. Such is,as
I understand, the effect of the amendment to
the Constitution, which has been adopted Ify
the Congress of tho United States.
(Sigaec) Jkfferson Davis.
Richmond, Feb. Gth.
To the President of the Confederate Slates:
Sir; Under your letter of appointment as
Commissioners, of the 28th uft., we proceeded
to seek an infotmal conference with Abraham
Lincoln, President of the United States, upon
the subject mentioned in the letter. Confer
ence was granted, and took place on 80ih De
cember, on boird a steamer anchored in
Hampton Roads, where we met President Lin
coln and the Hon. Mr. Seward, Secretary of
State for the United States. It continued for
several hours, and was both full aud explicit.
We learned from'them that the Message of
President Lincoln to tho Congress of the
United States in December last, explains clear
ly his sentiments, as to the terms, conditions
and mode of procedure by which peace cau bo
secured to tho people, and we were not in
formed that they would be modified or altered
to obtain that end. ;
We understand from him that no terms or
propossls of any treaty or agreement, looking
to the ultimate settlement, would be enter
tained or made by him with the authorities of
the Confiv.hrate States, because that would be
a recognition of their existence as a separate
power, which, under no circumstances woultl
be done; aud for lika reasons, that no such
terms would be entertained by him from
States separately; that no extended truce or
armistice as at present advised wonld be grant
ed or allowed without satisfactory assurance,
in advance, of the complete restoration of the
authority of the United States over all places
within States of the Confederacy—whatever
consequences may follow from the ro-estab
lis’nment of that authority—but must be ao
cepted; but individuals subject to pains and
penalties under the laws of the United States,
might rely upon a very liberal use of the pow
er confidod to him to permit those pains and
penalties to be restored.
During the conference, the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of the United States
adopted by Congress on the 31st were brought
to our notice. These smendments provide that
neither slavery or involuntary servitude ex
cept for crime, should exist within the United
Scutes, or any place within its jurisdiction, and
Congress shall have power to enforce the
amendment by appropriate legislation.
Os ali coreipondence that preeeeded the con
ference here mentioned, and leading to the
same, you hare horctoforo been informed.
Very Respectfully,
Your obdt servants,

THE INTERVIEW WITH LINCOLN AND
SEWARD.
The Commissioners were not allowed to
leave the boat at Fortress Monroe. At 9
o’clock Friday morning Lincoln and Seward
met them on board.
The interview lasted nearly three hor rs, re
sulting as stated iu yesterday's telegram. In
the coarse of the conversation, Lincoln stated
that Blair’s visit to Richmond, so far as it
contemplated any arrangement of peace was
without his approval.
Lincoln and Seward both incidentally admit
ted the probability oi a complication of foreign
relations, but professed to be able to suppress
the rebellion in time to meet them.
They were very courteous to the commission
ers. Lincoln related ssveralj anecdotes. In
parting he said, ‘‘God bless you.”
Hunter asked to bo remembered to all old
friends in the North.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Richxoxd, Feb. 6.
In the Heuse a resolution was adopted unaa
imously, inviting the Commissioners to address
tRe members of Congress and citizens on the
Capitol Square. *
Mr. Morse introduced a resolution directing
the Committee on Military Affairs to inquire
into the expediency of investing the President
with power to call into service all able bodied
negroes in the Confederate Stfttes, to be used
as he may think best, to aid in the military
defence of our country. The motion to lay on
the table was negatived—yeas 32, nays 39.
The resolution was then adopted.
Mr. Chambers’ resolution of inquiry if the
Confederate Government has the constitutional
right to purchase slaves as soldiers and offer
them freedom,, was tabled—yeas 35, nays 32.
The House resolved into secret session.
Richmond, Feb. 7.
In the Senate, Mr. Brown submitted the fol
lowing :
Resolved, That the Committee on Military
Aflahs be instructed to report a bill with the
least practicable delay, to take into the mili
tary service of the Confederate States a num
ber of negro soldiers, not to exceed 200,000,
by voluntary enlistments, with the consent of
their masters, or by conscription, as may ba
found necessary; and that the committee pro
vide in the said bill for the emancipation of
said negroes, in all cases where they prove
! loyal and true to the end of the war; and for
the immediate payment, under proper lestrio
tions, of their present value to their owners.
Mr. Brown said he introduced this resolution
1 to show in his opinion the time had come when
Iwe should employ negro troops. Now If ever,
was the time. We are in fehe very crisis o? our
fate. He had seen with pk asure the revival
of tho war spirit, and hoped 1 it would sweep
through the land; but he st ill feared our ar
mies were not strong enough to withstand the
enemy without tho emplo; rment of negro
troops.
On iiotioa of Mr. Maxwel 1 the resolution
was transferred to tho secret t alendar.
The senate then resolved inti > secret session.
The House made public the a utject that en

CORRESPONDENCE. Egg)
Riobmoxb, Feb. 8.
A correspondence is published in the Senti
nel this morning, between President Davis and
J. A. Seddun, showing that the latter resigned
his position as Secretary of War in consequence
of a resolution adopted by the Virginia dele
gation in Congress advising legislation on the
cabinet by relieving all the present heads of
that department.
Seddou says that after such an expression of
opinion he couid no longer fill that position
with a full measure of usefulness to the Presi
dent or Confederacy.
The President in reply expresses his warm
personal regard, and official confidence in Mr.
Siddon, and discusses at considerable length
the relations b< tween the Executive and Legia
tive Departments of the Government.
He presents the position of the light and
privileges of the Confederate Congiess iu con
trast with the British Parliament.

whole territory of the United States. This
point conceded, he assured them that in every
other matter of difference they would be treat
ed with the utirnst liberality.
Another telegram states that vice-president
Stephens was the most liberal of the Confed
erate deputation. His theoiy was that if we
would but treat with them as an independent
nation that such an agreement oould be had
that would practically unite the North and
South.
A special to the NewYoTk Tribune says that
Stephens surpassed all his old exhibitions of
shrewdness and foresight in placing the de
mands of the Confederacy in the most favora
ble light. At the oonoluskm of one of his points
Lincoln swung forward and interrupted him
with “That reminds me of a story of a man in

in a roar of merriment.

Northern papers claim that with a newly in
vented ball a hundred pounder Rodman gun
at a recent trial shot seven miles and a quarter.
The penetrative force of tho projectile is with
out paraded in the history ol projectiles. Tho
principle is such that, by means of a Jacket or
case, it is rendered possible to fire a bolt of less
diameter than the calibre cf the gun, thus
lightening the shot, and giving with the same
charge of powder immensely greater penetra
ting power, and consequently much greater
range, with less strain upon tho walls of the
gun.
O.ie hundred sailors were selected at Ports
