roads, and that the Secretary of State hnd
not yet seen or communioated with them.
I ascertained that Major Eckoit had liter
ally ooruplied with his instructions, and

Maor: Vour note, delivered iv your
self this day, has been considered. For
reply we have to say that we were furn
ished with a copy of the letter of Presi
dent Lincoln lo Francis P. Blair, of the
18th of January ult-, another copy of
which is appended to your note. Our in
tentions are contained in a letter of which
the following ia a copy :

To conformity with the letter of Mr.
Lincoln, of which the foregoing is a copy,

for Informal conferenoa wiih iinu upon
tho issues involved in the existing war,
and for the purpose of securing peace to
the two countries. With great respect,
jour obedient servant,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
The substantial object to be obtained by
the informal conference is to ascertain
upon what rma tho existing war can be
terminated honorably. Our instructions
contemplate a personal interview botween
President Lincoln and ourselves at Wash
ington, but with this explanation we are
ready to meet any person or perions that
President Lincoln may epj eint, at such
place ai be may designate. Our earnest
desire is that a just and honorable peace
may bo agreed upon, and we are prepar

which may posnbly lead to the attain
ment of that end.
Very respectfully, your.

Provost Marshal Campbell
The correspondence between this gen
tleman and II. B. Swoone. L-q., will be j
found on our first pngo. It will be obser
ved by the letter of Capt. Campbell, that,
like liunsiJe in leferooce to the duai-
ter of Froderioksburg, he assumes tho "en-
responsibility" tftending troops to
11'1'9 county. Thin is well. Wo have no
I intention to be drawn into a controversy
with this gentleman,
this, if possible. But,
it, neither he, nor Mr
Wo shall nv oid
if we can prevent
, Swoope, shall be
permitted to pervert the
truth of histo-
ry."
The reader will notice that the charge
which Mr. Swcope wishes to refute is,
"that the authorities were induced to
send troops to this county by the false
representations of certain assumed lead
ers of the Republican or Abolition party
here." This is tho thirge. To refute
it, Mr' Swoope calls Capt. Campbell to
the witness stand, and puts the question
to him about ia tVis form : "Were you
influenced to order troops iojhia county
by certain Republican loaders!" To
which he answers "No I assume tho en
tire responsibility myself." Now else
could he answer? To have answered af
firmatively, would have been openly to
confers his owu incapacity to discharge
the duties of his r-ftice. It would have
linen eelf-coudem nation, resulting in in
stantaneous dismissal from office.
Tho fact is, Mr. woepo knew exactly
what La wanted to prove, and it wan very
safe, although not very shrewd, in him to
osll a witness who was personally interes
ted, and whose evidence eould nrt levrong.
But suppose Capt- Campbell had been
subjected lo a rigid cross-examination,
snd required to givo true antweis to i-uch
questions as, "Were, or were ycu not im
portuned to send troops to this county in
1863 !"

one ever oshcrted or even doubted, the

vice was not disregarded.

The following item of nea s is commu
nicated to one of our super-loyal paper
by its correspondent at Savannah :
"There are six colored churches in Sa
vannah. Threo of them have large organs
and finu choirs. The pastors of four of
them havo always been colored men,
Three of these churches ere very fino edi
fices, and cost not less than ten thousand
dollars each."

must be to erect ana support so rnrj-.y
churches. Where elso in the wide world
can be found ai many "colored olmrchei''
