and trader with the enemy The man so un

thing to accompli! !i*his puiju and i think
this expose wilt convince yout r.-uleis that lie
Is inclined to be tastier too swiit it witness in
his own case, thus damaging if.
His statement that 1 propose;! La irm to
ship cotton on bis boat is untrue. That a
proposition was made to nip- to <bip cotton
and withdraw ray opposition, lie. admits, or
rather, that Mr. Ayres offered to permit me
to take a part of his cotton already on board.
With this adinifSion on his p rs, his declara
tion that “il Capt. McDullie means to insinu
ate that I otiered him the opportunity to ship
cottou he simply asserts a falsehood,” is a
cheap way ol playing the bully; and his ex
pression ol opinion th at such a proposition
would have been accepted by mo, is perhaps
his honest opinion ol men as judged by him
self—tested by his own personal standard of
rectitude and honor.
For the purpose of developing Cue plans of
Col. Lamar and party, after consultation with
my friends, and with their full knowledge and
approval of my plans and-purposes, 1 remark
ed, in the boning of some ol the party, that
if such tradiug was permitted and carried on,
it was hard that othets should have all the
benelits while wo bad none, mul that if we
could share the privilege timid would be less
ground for complaint. My vein u k had the
desired effect—drew forth their propositions
and developed their plans. These propositions I
were immediately make known t several gen
tlemen, who can testify to these facts, and
were hold under consideration just loug en
ough to got plenty of men together to stop
the boat effectually.
Col. Lamar, in commenting on my state
ment to Gen. Cobb, that he was offered the
boat to take him to . Doctortown, on condi
tion not to take iliu cotton to trade to the
Yankees, says, “the reverse of this is true,’’
and gives ay, a reason for this declaration, the
fact that he offered his pledge that the cotton
should return with the boat, aufl that Mr.
Ayres offered a large bond to,the same effo. t.
The tact that ho made the nu dge does not
prove what ho thinks it dees; but, that I
umld place no reliance on !us pledge. He
was a reckless violator of law under the o and
Government—notorious for his connection as
an African slave trader, with the “ Wan
derer" affair ; then, according to common re
port, committing an off. nee denounced by the
laws of his own ami < v other Christian
land as piracy, lie had been stopped hero by
me attempting to violate the law; ol tile new
Government, against, l r: .; with the onomy.
How could I, under the. e circumstances, rely
upon his pledge Y
Any man acquainted with law know*; that the
offered bonds ol Mr Ay tvs, ii lovfeiicd, could
not have been collected , and as t.o the time
required to unship the cotton from itie boat,
it could, in the then sta o «*i the v.un r, have
been done in less tliau the u. nit time—cer
tainly in as short a time as ’t would have taken
to go by private conveyance > and trom Ma
con for a written order from Gen. Cobb to
carry on the cottou, which Col. Lamar offered
to do. •
The statement of Cel Lamnr that 1 noted in
bad faith with him in going up the street, and
ealliug out to friends to get their .guns ready,
and that he denounced tne for my duplicity, is
not sue. Those aequaiutvd with my charac
ter, will be slow to nollevo vhat I ever tamely
submitted to denunciation front any man.
One word as to the character ot those who
Were my associates in this all.y.r l*ol Lamar
speaks of them an a “mob" .••crow." All
of them are honorable ami y < • n^tt .
some of them occupym the m--., social,
political and religious posit iouo ki i lie county,
whose good name.' cannot 1 o !by s ,»»«
a man as ho is ; and m*tu» ol tin -..i t would
suffer by a comparison of theii characters with
his. It is an outrage that such men should be
defamed and villilted tor but doing theii duly ;
and the man who does it, should not complain,
if he is denounced Tor such conduct.
Col. Lamar contiadicis my.assertion that
•Air. Ayres did not claim the cottoh nor pro
claim his authority tv.un Ueu Cobb to ship it
In writing to Geti Cobb l t ad u my mind my
lirst interview with Mr. Ayres, m widen ios
conversation certainly mi.-, m; and my statement.
Up .u reflection, add alter conversation with
others who heard Mr. Ayres talk afterwards, I
max inclined to believe he did afterwards make
assertions just the opposite of Ins first to me
While ou the subject of Mr. Ayres. 1 take oc
casion to say that his statement as recorded in
Gen. Cobb s letter to me, that if pi t mission
had been given us here to ship cotton the boat
would have been permitted to pays, is, and can
b* proven to be, incorrect.
Tne allusions tu Gen Cobb’s letter to state
ments of Col. Lamar and Mr Ayres t were
passed unnoticed at the time, because I was
then engaged in discussion of principles with
Gen. Cobb, and was not disused to waste
time or ammunition in small-r game It they,
were very desirous of my. attentions in this
respect, I trust they will be satisfied now.
There are many“‘other in Col.
Lamar's leUen,jß-hi< h it is umii\c-?sary to no
tioe. Indeed it is about as full of them as
the *pa.e.worddailow.
the language ot this article seenis harsh,
let it be remembered it was drawn out .by an
unOBCbSB&ry attack, and that it is the truth.
The parties to whom it applies have fortetted
all claims tqmy courtesy or re.-pect, and de
serve all they get.
-Whenever the public jcrrcrnirtr or any res

In one of the last numbers of the Richmond
Dispatch we find the annexed statements in re
gard to the strength of our armies, Sc.; also a
reported conversation Baid to have taken place
in Richmond. They are the Dispatch
from the columns of a Northern paper :
STRENGTH Os OONTRDEEAXE ARMIES.
“On the 4th of #Y-bruary, 1860, tne entire
available force of the Confederacy was 152.000
men. They were distributed as follows :
Lee’s army 64.000
Bragg, including Hoke’s division 9,000
. Beauregaid and Hardee 22 000
Dick Taylor, D H Hill, Howell Cobb 7.000
West of Mississippi 50.000
Total 152.000
The 22,000 under Beauregard and Hardee
iaoiudes the late army of Hood and all the
forces which evacuated Savannah and Charles
ton. 'i he 9,000 of Bragg includts all the gar
rison of Wilmiugton. These 31,000 men con
stitute the bulk of the army now under John
ston iu North Carolina, withjsuch additions as
have lately been made. The 7,000 under Tay
lor, Hill and Cobb, are, or were, scattereo
through Georgia, Alai ama and Mississippi, part
oi i hem constituting the present garrison of Mo
biie.
Os Hftod’s army the following is a correct
numerical statement.
Entered Tennessee 47,000
Came out 17,500
Net loss or the campaign 29,500
In East Tennessee and West Virginia there
were, in February, but four thousand five hun
hred men altogether, and the greater part of
them were transferred on March Ist, and there
abouts to Lynchburg.
REROUTED TESTIMONY OIVBN TO INQUIRING MEM
BERS or UONURESS.
According to the accounts in the Northern
papers a committee of the Confederate Senate
was engaged early in the present year, in an
inquiry into the condition of the Confederacy.
Among the witnesses summoned belore them
was G. n Lee, and the following, says the North
ern journal, are extracts from his testimony on
the 24th of January, 1865 :
QuesUon by Senator Hunter —What is your
opinion as to evacuating Richmond and with
drawing the army to North Carolina ?
Answer—ln my opinion it wouiu be a bad
mi ument. The Virginia troops would not go to
North Carolina; they would go home.
Question.—Do you think w£e have troops
enough for the next campaign ?
Answer.—l do hot. We cannot last tjll mid
summer.
Question. —What do >ou think of the policy
of aiming two huudred thousand negroes ?
Answer.—if we are to carry on the war, that
is the least of evils; but in such an event the
negroes must have their liberty.
Question. —Do you think we would sacceed
by putting the negroes in the field f
Answer.—That would depend on circum
stances. Wo could at least carry on the war ior
Another year.
Question by Senator Hill.—What is the sen- *
limeut of the army iu relation to peace f
Answer. — It is almost unanimous for peace.
The men will fight longer il necessaty, but they
believe we caunot continue tho war through
another campaign.
Question by Senator Graham.—What is
your individual opinion ou tho subject of
peace !
Answer.—l think the best policy is to make
peace on tho plan proposed by Mr. Stephens.
Tho people and the country ought to be saved
further sacrifices
Question by Senator Walker.—ls peace be
not made before spring, will you consent to
take command of all the armies of the Confed
eracy, with unlimited i>owers t
Answer —I will take any position to which
my country assigns me, and do the best I can ;
but I do not think I canaave the sause now
No human power can save it. Had I been
assigned such a place one year ago, I think I
could have made our condition better than it
now is.
Question by Senator Orr.—You think, then,
General, the best solution of our difficulties is
to make peace ou the Stephens plan (
Answer. —Yes, that is the best policy now
I think the army and the people ought to be
saved if all else is lost.
More About the Peace Conference —The
Now York Tribune in a recent number speaks
thus in regard to the late Peace Conference.
Whether its assertions are true or not, we are
uuable to say. But here th y are :
WHAT MR. STEPHENS SAID.
When Mr. Stephens came back from Fortress
Monroe, he said to his friends that he was uot
disappointed at the failure of his mission ; that
he knew before ho started, it would fail. Me
was now satisfied that Mr. Lincoln would not
make peace with Mr. Mavis ou any terms, but
he was more sanguine than ever that peace
was within reac of the country. He was quite
certain we should have peace and au honorable
peace before May 1, 1865. This result, he de
clared, was in the hands of the people, and if
the people desired peace, neither Mr. Mavis nor
any other man, nor set of men, would pre
vent it.
WHAT MR. LINCOLN SAID.
The substance of Mr. Lincoln’s language, as
reported by Mr. Stephens, was that he could
not tieat with Mr. Davis as the leader of a re
bellion. That the so-called Government of the
Confederate States could not be acknowledged.
That he could not treat with the States while
they confessed allegiance to and formed a part
of Government. But that be was willing
to treat with the States separately, or with any
number of them, on the basis of the Union and
the Constitution. That if peace were restored
lie would do all in his power to remit those
pains and penalties, to which individuals had
subjected themselves by rebellion against the
Government That in no circumstances would
ho v« dogmas the independence of the Confed
eracy, or treat with it as a separate power.
That he could not eDter into any truce or arm
istice with Mr. Davis as (so called) President
ot those States.
MR. DAVIS’ INSTRUCTIONS
were substantially as follows : •
First. That negotiations shall be conducted
as between two independent nationalities.
Second. That pending the negotiations an
armistice of ninety days shall be proclaimed.
These instructions were communicated to Mr.
Lincoln, but were not entertained as a basis
ot negotiation. *
WHAT MR. STEPHENS THOUGHT.
Mr. Stephens thought that the
might form a basis for declarations by Mr
Liucoln in his Inaugural on the Fourth of
M arch, and that the President would then pTm
claim a plan wh ch would be generally
td by the States as a basis pf settlement He
lMr. Stephens) looks upon'%ny further effort
by the Confederate GWvernment towards ne
gotiations, or to carry on the war as futile,
and unjust to the people and the States. In a
word, he considers the functions of the Con
miimate-Goserument at an end.
MR STEPHENS PLAN FOR PEACE.
Mr. proposed :
_ First Let Mr. Lincoln issue an address to
rho army and people of the South, embodying
m that address what he has before said as to
peace, md also what passed at his inte;.*view
wiiu the commissioners.
Second. Agree to appoint commissions rs on
the part of the United States to meet State
commissioners on the part of such States as
desire-to meet atTfashville, Louisville or Cin
cinnati. in April or May, to consult as to a
peace, on the basis of each State’s returning to
the Union upon the sole condition of bbetli
ence to the constitution and laws of the Be
public
Third. An election by such States as shall
send commissioners to that convention, of Sen
ators and Representatives to the Congress of
the United States, to enter such Congress npo a
terms with other members of it. an and
! such States to have equality on the lloor of
Congress with other States
Mr. Stephens believed this plan would se
cure the approbation of North Carolina. Geor
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and per
haps South Carolina and Viiginia. He was
j quite sure it would command the assent of at
! least six States. In present circumstances, he
! might reasonably hope it would be still more
! generally adopted.
’[From Danville, Va., Register, April 5.]
i THE EVACLATIOB OF HICHMOND.
•Persons who left the capital Sunday night
and Monday morning, represent that the seene
which followed the evacuation of the city b r .
our crcops, beggars ail description. To pre
serve order and protect the ptoperty of the
•itizens who unavoidably remained there, as
far as could be done, the Nineteenth Virginia
militia under Col. Evans, wsstpiaced on police
duty in the city, to await the’ coming of the
enemy ; but aocounts state they failed to ren
der .any aid or protection to the people what
ever. Ou Sunday n ght a mob of the lower
classes of the city, composed, it is said, mostly
f the foreign element, visited a number of the
largest store houses of the city and robbed
them of their contents
It is affirmed that Main street was pillaged
tnd then burned, and that some of the milling
establishments were also committed to the
flames We have no doubf that a. considera
bte portion of that brave cHy has been laid in
ashes, and a number of its people insulted,
outraged, robbed and massacred.
We are told that the people banded together,
during the violent proceeding of the mob, and
resisted them with force, a street fight ensuing
in which several persons were killed.
No intelligence has reached us of the enemy’s
troops occupying the city. The la6t trains on
the Danville railroad which came out of the
place Jett Monday morning, and passengers
upon them had heard nothing from the enemy.
The greater portion of Grant’s army was trans
ferred to the southside of James river some
days ago. only the command of Gen. Ord,
which is composed mostly, if not entirely, of
negro troops being left on the north side.
This command will enter and occupy the city
Some cf our people who are acquainted with
the character of Gen. Ord. think they have
reason to hope that bis treatment of the unfor
tunate people of Richmond will not be so
bard and cruel and inhuman, as that whioh
has fallen upi n the heads ot our fellow citizens
iu some other captured cities.
All the specie and other valuables belong
ing to the Banks in Richmond was removed
from the city on Sunday, and have been car
ried to places of safety.
A considerable amount of goods purchased
by the Btate, lor distribution to the people,
we regret to leam, had to be left behind. Al
so the archives remained in the city, but we
perceive no motive the enemy can have in
destroying them, as they will no doubt en
deavor to occupy the city permanently and
establish a State Government at Richmond
under the Federal Union.
l’ho newspapers of Richmond, we suppose,
ail fell into the hands of the enemy. The
evacuation of the city was so sudden and un
expe ted—scarcely any one being prepared for
it that no time was left for the removal of so
cumbrous an establishment as a city newspa
per office.
AH the rolling stock of the Richmond and
Danville railroad, in running order, was saved
ou tho retreat trom Richmond A few old
cars, not in a movable condition, were left at
Manchester. No trains ware captured by the
enemy near the Jun -tion, as was at one time
reported ; and indeed we do not believe that
any body of Yankees had struck the road, at
any point up to yesterday evening.
The Secretary of War, the Quartermaster
General. Commissary General, and a number
of other officers of the Government, left Rich
mond on horseback, and will .probably arrive
at this place to-morrow.
Should Gen. Lee establish his lines east of
the Junction, we suppose the State Legislature
will be convened at Lynchbutg.
Tub Oath at Savannah. —A gentlemen
from Sa\ annah say the annexed oath is the
one administered by the Yankee officials at
that place:
OATH.
I do solemly swear ia the presence
of Almighty God, that I will bear true and
firm allegiance to the United States of Ameri
ca, aud will faithfully support the Constitution
and Laws thereof, aud that in this behalf I
will to the utmost of my power opposo and
discountenance all secession, rebellion and
disloyalty and everything looking to a disrup
tion of the National Union, that I utterly re
pudiate all allegiance to the socalled Confeder
ate States of America, or any other power,

by word, or act, sign, letter or message, give
aid or comfort to any person or persons hos

Ido further promise and swear that I will

All th s I do most solemnly, aud sincerely

Description of person appended
Bather of a Bich Conversation. —ln a late
number of, the New York Tribune we find a
conversation which that paper says took place
between President Davis and Senator John
son, of Georgia. We give it as we find it:
After the Peace Commissioners had returned
from Fortress Monroe, Senator Johnson, of
Georgia, visited Mr. Jefferson Davis, and had
a conversation with him, of which the following
is the substance, as reported subsequently by
Mr. Johnson :
Senator Johnson—Well, Mr. Davis, your
mission has failed ?
Mavis—Yes ; I knew it would. And I hope
now the recOustructionists will fight Lincoln
instead of fighting me.
Johnson—But Mr Lincoln, it seems, was not
opposed to making peace with the States He
only refused to recognize the Confederate Gov
ernment.
Davis—H’m, turn, h’m.
Johnson—l see, Mr. Davis, that you have
withdrawn all the troops -from Georgia’ into
Carolina aud Virginia What are the people
of Georgia to do for protection ?
Davis—The people of Gjeorgia have followed
the counsels of Goy. Brown and Mr Stephens,
and they may now protect thermelves.
Johnson —Very well, Mi. President; if you
can do without the people of Georgia, the peo
ple of Geoigia can do without you.
Whsieupon, exeunt by different doors, Davis
and Johnson.
Thr Situation in Mississippi —The Missis -
sippi Legislature weary of outrages upon pri
vate rights, by »ea of ‘'ranks,’’ has made the
illegal impreasmunt of private property high

ment. The fine signifies nothing; but that officer

unmixed despotism, of being kicked out of
