There was a report started from Balti

to Washington ' to communicate to the
Government that the-rebel authorities
are taking steps to propose to the Fede
ral Government to lay jdown their arms,
provided that the "amnesty proclamation
is extended to the leaders. We placeno
confidence in the report. As much
as we' desire peace, it must be an
entire submission. When Satan is par
doned, then let our Government consider
the proposition of pardoning these arch
traitors, and not till then. : But if such pro
position is wade, we hope it will be dealt
with speeoily, and without any sesation
of hostilities.
A number of heavy financiers from the

RICHMOND ITEMS.
Baltimore, February 4.
The Richmond Examiner of last Sat
urday has been received, and from it I
clip ihe following :
"Jackson, Mississippi, January 23.
Fifteen transports, with troops, arrived
at Vicksburg on the 27th. The enemy
is in force along the Big Black. Sher
man and stall", with three or fcur regi
ments, are reported to have passed up
the Yazoo river to Mechanicsburg, which
fell back. Heavy demonstrations are
bein made towards Pm hatoula. The
enemy, to the number of ten thousand.
are advancing from the coast below Mor-
ristown. On thp 29th, Major General
Buckner arrived here. Longstreet's
headquarters have been moved to this
place.
"The enemy attacked General Martin
with a superior force beyonu- French's
road on Wednesday, and after a severe
fight, compelled him to retire with a loss
of two pieces of artillery aud two hundred
men killed and wounded."
'Charleston, January 29. The enemy
at nine o'clock last night, opened fire on
Sumter with three ten-inch columbiad3
and one thirty p nmder Parrott. During
the night one hundred and twenty three
shells were thrown, eightv-ttree of
which burst in and over the fort. The
firing ou Sumter continued all day, and is
still 2oing cn thL evening.'
H 'Utson, Texas, Jan. 12, via Jack
son Miss., Jan. 29. We have accounts
of .another serious Indian raid in Cook
county, in winch twelve or fitteeu people
killed. The Indians were armed
were
and equipped by the Yankees.
"Fifteen millions of dolhrs in Confed
erate mony that had lun the blockade
from some Eastern port to" Havana, and
had safely reached Monterey, Mexico,
en route to the Trans-Mississippi De
partment, has been attached by the En
glish house of Milmo 5c Co , Matam-ras,
for an alleged failure of Harr, Quarter
master Agent, Confederate Slate Government,-
in meeting his contracts fur
cotton.
"General A. J. Hamilton, the Aboli
tion appointed for Military Governor of
Texas, has had a public reception at
Matamoras by ihe Govt mor. In a speech
at the banquet, he announced that incase
the French advanced on Ma amoras, the
Yankees would help the Mexicans and
whip them out. The Yankees, five hun
dred strony, hare advanced from Brown
Ville on King ranch nnd met no opposi
tion. The Yankee force at Saiaria ana
DeKews Point is about twelve thousand
men.
"Since the first instant we have expe
rienced the coldest weather known for
many years.
'Th proclamation of Lincoln excites
hardly a thought.
The Examiner learns ihat sixty Yan-1
kee prisoners escaped on Thursday night
from prison, at Danville, Va.
"The telegraph operators in the prin
cipal cities of the South .have formed a

An Executive order, published to-day.
fixes the long-delayed draft for the 10th
of March. It also Carries the number
for which the drawing will be made from
three hundred thouiand men, which was
the number called for last October, up to
half a million. Against this number;
however, will be credited all who may
have enlisted or been drafted prior to the
first of March and have not been credited
to other calls. We have no data regard
ing the number that is' thus to be sub
tracted from the 5G0.CC0, and can, of
psfminte IiOV
many may enlist during the month ef
grace yet ren aming. We are thus lelt
in doubt as to the exact number that will
need to be drafted ; but as voluateering
has been quite brisk and gives promise of
being so, a very handsome subtrahend
shouid appear. There is reason to be
lieve that the mimbtrr needed will not go
over three hundred thousand men. 1
We are to conclude from the ordering
of ihi3 draft that the Administration,
takiftg .into account. the needs of thn
country, and the comparative availability
of. the two. methods of raising troops, has
adopted it as a measure of necessity.
The Government can have no predilec
tions for the draft so strong that it should
prefer as a system to volunteering. Were
ihere any well grounded certainty tnai
the armies of the republic would te with
in a reasonable time failed up by voln
leer, recruits, we hav3 no doubt the Ad
ministration would gladly put aside the
severe, regimon of the conscription. But
there is no suCD cei lannyy wnnmrere is
the present and imperative certainty that
if the rebellion is to be put down oar ar
mies must b increased to do it. It is
therefore as the country shall elect; u
the men needed are not forthcoming it
must by accepted as a verdict in favor of
the draft.
In attempting toes'imate the efficiency
cf the coining drutt to accomplish ih"
object proposed, it is impossible to go
beyond general conjecture, for the pro
visions under which it will be made hive
not yet been elaborated by Congress.
The bill, passed by the Senate, is to come
up for discussion in the House to-day,
aud will, doubtless, be completed and
become a law in the course of the week"
Those who ha.e followed the hist-jry of
this bill through the Senate debates are
aware that i will be i uch more rigid
in its provisions than the ac of last year.
Th price of commutation is rais ;d from
S300 to SiOO. Besides, persons fur
nishing substitutes from any source but
the class not liable to draft (as aliens,
persons under t enty y Jars of ig?, etc.,)
become themselves subject to draft, on
the exhaustion of the enrollment. This
measure was adopted as an indispensable
mean3 of avoiding such abuse of commu
tation as would presently have exhausted
the military basis itself. .
To all those who, on theoretical or
practical grounds, dislike the conscription,
there now", remains but one course to
encourage volunteering. . There is a
month, during which the stimulus of the
large bounties offered by the Govern
ment, as well as State and local bounties,
can operate, and after that they cease.
The more we do now, the less onerous
the draft will be ou the ides of March.
New York Times, Feb. 1st.
From the Phila.lclt.nia Inquiror.
The telegraph announces the death of
James B. Clay, of Canada. He ded in
Montreal. A fugitive is the epitaph
which has been written on him. Mr.
Cly .-ympathiz-d with the rebels, and he
was one of the earliest and most violent
to espouse their cause No young man
in this country ever had a better oppor
tunity to raue to the highest honors m
the Government. The splendid reputa
tion which his father, the immortal Harry
of the Wtct, left, vvpuld l.tne given him
an open sesame to the ino?t conspicuous
Petals in the temple of fame, but in an
evil hour, and under the evil connstl of
traitors, "like the ba?e Judeaa," he
threw away a pearl richer than nil the
rebel tribe. It is said that since his
flight into Canada he has been engaged
in concocting plots with other fugitives
against. the United States, but death has
ended alt his 'schemes, and the sunlight
has closed t.poa his eyes with the rebel
lion tottering to its full, a rebel and fugi
tive fromthat Government which his no
ble father said never, never should be
divided. James B. Clay, in IS 19. -was'
appointed by President Taylor Viarge
d(?ff'nrs to Lisbon, and in 18-57 lu was
ekcied, from hi father's district m Ken
tucky, to lha Congress of the United
Slates. There is btill- another of his
family, however, John A. Clay, who is a
Union man. and now holding an impor
tant diplomatic office under the Govern
meut in South America.

holding civil offices in the Government of
the United States, and basely betrayed
their trusts-, there have gone to their last
account, Yancey, Floyd, -John Tyler.

The Raliegh, N- C. Progress, in speak
ing of supplies in the Confederacy, says:
"Peace alone . can prevent starvation.
It is folly to talk to us about there being
enough.. Confederate money is .bad
enough we know, but dearth of provisions
is not caused by want of confidence in it,
but because producers have .nothing to
bring in. When the currency ceases to
serve, and will no longer buy what the
soldiers nnd people want, the army and
people willresolve themselvesjnio a mob
and those who hare misled ana ruined
them will have to ffee for their lives.
Do our people realize how near we are
to this state of things ? If not, let any
citizen take a .small sum of money and
visit the "city market some cold morning.
.We tell the people and authorities that
thepreent condition of things cannot
and will not Jast,.t The masses have
been deceived' and misled' long enough,
and they "will not suffer and endure al
ways. Peace they want and peace they
will have, if not with such terms as lead
ers, who have betrayed thea, desire, up
on such terms as they themselves ' shall
nrpsi-rihe. A neace can be made that
the world will consider honorable, and
thoie who assume to rule

take steps at once to rnake it, for enough
has been said by the enemy to satisfy all
reasonable men that they would gladly

A letter from a gentleman occupying
a high position, in the United States,
says the London Star, contains the fol
lowing curious story: This reminds me,
says the writer, that Jeff. Davis's son, by
his slave girl Cutharine, was in the Fed
eral service on boird of one of our gun
boats in the Mississippi for several
months a likely mulatto. Among the
letters of Jeff., taken at his house by our
Illinois troopi. there -was a batch of
uarrtlsome epistles between Jeff, and
Mrs. Davis, touching this old flame
Catharine. Sirs. Davis -upbraided her
husbaud bitterly. I have this story from
one of the highest officers in the squad
ron, who had the negro Ji ff, -on board
his guuboa., and who himself real the
letters and suppressed them.
