DENMARK.
It was stated that England’s proposal for a
conference was made with the concurrence of
France, and will be supported by Prussia.
The Morning Post attacks the Times for
writing up the scheme, and asserts that the
Austro-Prussian acceptance is only meant to
neutralize the possible action of England in,
consequence of the invasion of Jutland.
The Post remarks that the consent of several
Powers to the Conference is yet wanting, and
notably'that of Denmark.
The Swedish Ambassador at Copenhagen
had been re-called, at his own request.
The London Morning Advertiser Efates that
not only has the Channel squadron been' re
called from Lisbon, but the Admiral is under
orders to proceed forthwith to the Baltic, in
order to be prepared-not only for possible hut
probable eventualities.
The Advertiser further states that the gov
ernment has resolved -rather than Den
mark proper shall suffer the loss of any terri
tory to employ the logic of our naval force to
any extent which circumstances may render
necessary.
The Post says the language of Lord Pal
merston, last night, in reference to a peace be
tween the present belligerents, is a remote con
tingency, while war. is a certainty. The Post
thinks the prospect of assembling a Conference
pending hostilities, is one which, even if real
ized, can never he productive of satisfactory
results.

TOT VERY LATEST— VIA LONDONDERRY,
LoHDON.Feb.26—The Paris Constitutionnel,
relative to the proposed Conference, says:
“France would gladly hope for success, hut it
is doubtful if Denmark and the German Con
federation will accede.”
- The City Article of the London Post says:
“Private advices from Paris, upon which we
believe reliance can he placed, again allude to
negotiations now in progress preparatory to the
recognition of the Confederate States by the
French Government; although any official ae
knowledgment of this fact would at this mo
ment be thought premature and undesirable.”
518 the Hector,
built for the Danish Government, has been
launched in the Clyde. -
f: The City Article says: “The applica
tions at the Bank yesterday at the reduced rat©
were still of moderate amount, although more
numerous than those of Wednesday. At pre
sent the tendency in the supply of money seems
towards a further fall, but there are apparently
none who are so sanguine as to expect under
any circumstances that the rate can go per
manently below o per cent., even
that the harvest prospects for the vear should
again prove favorable.”
It is estimated that 900 persons were killed
by the explosion of a powder magazine in Mo
rocco.

ADDRESS TO THE OFFICERS AND MEN.
The following address to the officers and men cf
the command was written on a sheet of paper,
having, in printed letters, on the upper corner
“Headquarters, 3d Division, Cavalry Corps,
1664 :’ 1
*«Ovi’icEHs a*d Max — You have heen selected
tom brigades and regiments as a picked command
to attempt a desperate undertaking—an under
taking which, if successful, will writs your
names on the hearts of your countrymen in letters
that can never be erased, and which will cause
the prqyers of our fellow soldiers now confined
in loathsome prisons to follow you and yours
wherever yon may go. We hope to release the
prisoners from Belle Isle first, and, having seen
them fairly started, we will cross the James River
into Richmond, destroy the bridges after us, and,
exhorting the released prisoners to destroy and
burn the hateful city, will not allow the rebel
leader Davis and his traitorous crew to escape
The prisoners must render great assistance, as you
cannot leave your ranksttoo fartor become too much
scattered, or you will be lost. Do not allow
any personal gain to lead you off, which weald
<mly bnhg you to an ignominious death at
the hands of citizens. Keep well together
and obey orders strictly, and all will be well
but on no account scatter too far, for in union
there is strength. With strict obedience to
orders and fearlessness in their execution you will
be sure to succeed. We will join the main force
on the other side of the city, or perhaps meet them
inside. Many of you may fall; but if there is any
man here not willing to sacrifice his lile in such a
great and glorious undertaking, or who does net
feel capable of meeting the. enemy in such a des
prate fight as will follow, let him step out, and
he may go hence to the arms of his sweetheart,
and read of the braves who swept throngh the city
of Richmond. We want no msiHebo cannot feel
sure of success in such a holy cause. We will
have a desperate fight; but stand up to it when it
does come, and all will be well. Ask the blessing
of the Almighty, and do not fear the enemy.

It baa finally- been determined to reorganize the
Army of the Potomac, by temporarily transferring
the Ist and 3d army corps to the 2d, sth and flth.
The three corpß will then be commanded by Major
Generals John Sedgwick, Winfield S. Hancock,

command their brigades. As the army is rapidly

i? o^ they met a highly promising
£?o°t Dr. Fleet, of King and Queen, mid young
1118 ®i£nal Corpsj who were out on
a scout. The young men mistook the Federals for
our own troops until within a few steps, when
they turned to flee, and were fired on. Fleet

oeao. laliaferro wae conveyed to a house near
*®kriuUy mounded, the ball having passed
through his body. AfJer crossing at Aylett’s
the enemy inquired for the road to
Gloucester Point, and set out in that
direction. At Brninton, in King and Queen
county, they were flred upon by the Home Guard,
and one was killed, four wounded and one cap.
tured. lahlgren, in making his retreat, in some
way was cut off from the body of his men. At£
Piping Tree Ferry he is said to have obtained
some small boats, in which he commenced to
cross, bnt was broken into by Johnson and Beal’s
cavalry before he had finished, and seventy men
were captured. Of this, however, we need con
urination. At all events, he was subsequently
found in King and Queen, with a small force,
which was set upon by Lieuterant Pollard, with
a mixed command, and here he met his fate, as
described elsewhere.
**3&r. Delaplane, on the Brook turnpike, was
not robbed of nis horses and mules by the enemy,
as at first reported. Fortunately he had sent them
into the city that morning. Mott of his neighbors
were less fortunate, nearly all having been vic
timized to a greater or less extent. Among the
sufferers was Ur. Powell, who lost several horses.
Mr. Stuart, who lives near our outer defences, is
also a considerable sufferer.
‘‘Now that Kilpatrick, with what is left of his
raiders, has reached'WUllamsburg, what will he
do next! We suppose he will attempt the path he
took on a similar occasion. In his former raid he
was driven to Williamsburg. Thence he crossed
the York at Gloucester Point and took the' road to
Urbana, where he crossed the Bappahanoock,
and proceeded up the Northern Neck, steal
ing and plundering as he went. When, a
skilful iox-hunter, who hunts to kill, learns
the path of a fox, he stations men with
guns at suitable points, and he soon bags his
g&m*. Let our military hunters take the hint. 1 *

Sudden Emigration to Idaho.— A recent
St. Louis letter_ says: «A strong Idaho gold
fever has raged ia this city and State for soma
time past, and preparations are making to load
about ten small light draught steamers for Fort
Benton this Bpring, with freight for the inhos
pitable region of Idaho. The prevalence of
this immigration fever has struck many persons
in the West as a little curious, considering the
high wages paid for all kinds of skilled labor
in all the cities and towns of the West. Gov.
Stone, of lowa, finally issued a proclamation, -
forbidding lowans from leaving the State, un-'
less they are exempt from the draft; and lately
Gen. Rosecrans has issued a general order to■*
the same effect. These prohibitory orders
have created consternation among the steam
boat men and others interested in the Idaho
business, but especially among the copperheads
and conservatives,, who were about to immi
grate to that territory, to avoid being called
upon to serve their country,”
U. S. Steamer Galena.— The U. S.
steamer Galena arrived at Baltimore onMon
day_from Hampton Roads, for repairs, which -
could hot be done at the Navy Yard at Ports
month, which port she first made after the
discovery of a leak of twelve or fourteen inches
per hour, caused by having been cut through
by the ice in' Delaware bay affd river on the
passage ont from the Philadelphia Navy Yard.
She will he put on the screw-dock, where tho
repairs can bo speedily made.
