A roaring anthracite fire blazed at the jar end of the room, by whieh Captain Kshnedy was staßUlng.aawe entered. Courteously §owledglng our’ salutation, he shook hands Lieutenant Wilson and us,' and desired us » seated. Of all the: concomptlble actions n-can be guilty of, we deem the impertinent gazing, the unfeeling staring at men in trouble, Ik which too many good people Indulge, to ba the ' . ifipaneßt. It was perhaps unnecessary forms to as- Eule Kennedy that we had bther motives than mere ijfVe eurlbßlty In visiting him, but that being the Sot, w* made it known. He has grown tliln and S and nervous since his removal to the fort, on first taken there his fate was undeoided, and eemed cheerful, gay, and hopeful, hut he then the companionship of klnored souls of Con rate friends, and beyond all, a singular hope, tgld. perhaps, belief, that his oaae was to be re raided.favorably by the commission. Last week foSsas announced to him, however, by a member a«Sneral Blx’s staff, that he had been found ■and sentenced to.die upon the gallows, since time he has been a changed man. He was once put Into room No. 2. handcuffed and left so. l Every two hours the officer of the day (and ht) visits him, examines the handcuffs, and its through the room, to that there is no possi ty of escape. In regard to his trial, he spoke uu rvedly and fully. He had seen It stated that he adnflited to Major Bolles, the able judge advo mrGeneral Bix’s department, that he had set :o Bamum’s-Mueeum. This, he requested us to do uj, ouM'Pon moieolosely questioning him, beadmlt- Sfirfihat he had made the confession to Price, a Con fSderate, who turned State’s evidence before the ar ieet tnrCanada., We remarked that this was rather a'sharp, practice on his part, to whioh be laughing ly-assented. He stated several times that he re* tjjjttded.Qeneral Warren and the oourt who tried Sim as high-toned, honorable men ana officers, and he could not recognize their verdict with theft ap. fjettrance. He thinks they, through Maj, Bollhs, were 'father hard, onhlm when they insisted on excluding hyiidence which he regarded as material, and also 54id that he had.come-to the conclusion that Iprhe had never known an acquittal by court maltlal they are organized solely for oonviotlon. Kdnnedy hae no friends h«e, we believe, and It was Swing to an association formed at West Point Jen. Stoughton that he secured the services off watltman during his reosnt trial, He had but (honey when he was taken to the fort; but' Seed, in gold, sewed into the tall of his which he has sinoe had; changed into our renoy, making about $l2. With this It would be dfeoult lor him to buy his way out even if his jteperwera corruptible, so that he haß given up all ibpe of saving hlmaeuby violence: and last week, dftcr receiving formal notification through General Wx of the result of Mb trial, he wrote to President iahooln a brieflactual note, in which he slated his case, asserting his entire innocence, and urglng tnat as the death of Captain Beale had furnished all the example neoessary to raiders, the welfare of the oopntry wouldfiot be Improved by hie blood, and . trusting for clemency. We told him that although the President had the power, andmigbt have the iffelifTatlon, he would not be apt to interfere In this <£se ; -hut he replied that he understood - Mr. Llnooln was a good-hearted sort of a man, and at all events It could do no harm. ; tin regard to physical comforts, he Is not, as we before intimated, abundantly provided. The regu lar rations for solfliors or prisoners are not at any timepartlonlarly tempting, and at suoh a time as this, when mind and body sure alike excited, it would be strange if more tempting food would not be do -airable. The officers furnish him with tobacco and . ajnoderate allowaucoof Bourbon—items in the diet -of a soldier as great and as neoessary almost as ’ffiead and meat. He oomplalnsof a falling appetite l and sleepless nights, while It was painfully evident : that his deficiency In moral courage or pluck was ; rendering him unnaturally uneasy and nervous. He very naturally expresses great Indignation at ! the treachery of the Confederate soldier Frloe, who, aB ho says, “to Bave his own neek, turned against ’his Sag and his brother, and sent, by perjury and lying, a fellow-comrade to the scaffold.’* , It Ming evident, from his conversation, that he baa given up hope of respite or reprieve, we endea vored, in the best faith possible, to turn his thoughts from the present and its futile hope of revenge to the oertain fate before him, and the uncertainty whioh his mind must experience if it continued in its present state, but It was useless. The chaplain of the post has been to see him, and spends occa sionally a half hour with him, but the'man, like many others, assents with his head, while hiß thoughts and heart are untouched. This is olearly demonstrated by his constant profundity, but still more by letters which he writes sad by remarks which he continually makes. Forinatance, In speak ing of the late Oapt. Beale, he says: “ Gapt. Beale states that he finds great consolation in the Ohrls tian faith. Be rests confidingly on the arm of the Saviour who died for him and for all sinners. Now,lbavea high regard and esteem for him; more, indeed, than for any other Confederate in Canada, but in this he seems to labor under a hallu cination. I was reared under Christian influences, and ao iong as I was at home was compelled to say my prayers, but my mature judgment is thatthis Is all nonsense. If there were any effioaoy in .It the prayers of my pious old mother would have kept ins out of this trouble, and saved me from; perhaps, an Ignominious death.’’ * * • • Again, he says, la speaking of the 4th of March, substantially: “ This is a great day for our enemies. They are making a;, great time over the capture of Oharleaton; Wil-. mington, and Savannah, and glorifying Old Abe.'. The dogs did not capture Charleston. Circum stances, not valor, gave it to them. B—n them, let them subjugate the South, and them triumph,’’ and so on ad mJinVum, In regard to the approaching execution, he feels, a£ Beale did, that there is no lgnomlny about.lt; he regards it as undeserved andas unfairyput as he says he thinks bo’ll “bo able to surVive it.”'He says “he wouldn’t caro-so much about it but for his little ala tors, who may need his protection.

Mr. Foote’s last speeches iu the rebel Uou grcSß, and his subsequent escape from the Goufede. raey, have attracted eush general attention that his* statements will be received with Interest. The SSI. lowing is the substance of the pamphlet: Mr. Foots begins with remioaindr his constituent)- that when they sent him to she Odflgress at Rich mond they were familiar with Sis former “ devotion to the Federal Union” and bis “zealous and un bending opposition to everything ln the Bhape of nationalism." They knew that he refused “alt connection with- the perilous scheme of seeesslon In 1861,” and that. In 1860, he had as-little In com mon with the boasted secession leaders as any other public man In the South,; that he had earnestly opposed s sD the incipient steps which had led to the fearful state of things then existing; that he had openlv denounced the conduct and motives of nearly all the- prominent leaders In the seees slon movement j and 1 that he had, never fnlly ac quiesced In the propriety of entering Into the war ” until the Southern- Senators aod Representatives in the Federal Congress had, "with a want of wisdom and true moral courage-unprecedented In the world’s hlatory, ingloriously vacated their seats In that body, and (doubtless in accordance with a plan pre viously BgTeed upon among them) hastened to the city of Montgomery, framed a new Oonstitntton of Government, and taken,alt the needful steps for the bringing on-of a war, without the 1 named fate com mencement of whloh they well knew their scheme of clßunlon would turn eat to be altogethertisprac ticable,” ln the rebel Congress Mr. Foote claims to have always made' ” a firm and! unyielding opposition to the shamfnl efforts ot Mr. Davis and his servitors to undermine the publie liberties and establish a des potism on their rains.” “At length (three- months ago) »l became evident to every man o/discernment" with whom Mr. feote intercourse, “that un less an early and an honorable peace could be speedily effected the South, would be Inevitably rained.” Mr. Foote then, after freely consulting with the best and wisest memhe met, resolved to in troduce his well-known peace resolutions In the rebel Congress. His resolutions being rqjeotsd by that body, he deemed it necessary to make another “somewhat unusual experiment” to bring about mace. Seeing that 11 the Confederate Government, in all its departments, was-most rapidly losing the public oonfioenoe and becoming .positively odious,” and that “ the Confederate financial system was olearly In a state bordering upon aollapse,” Mr. Foote set out from Richmond about December 20, In company with his wife, 'who had a passport from the Rich mond authorities empowering her-to, return to their realdenee in NashviUe. On reaching the Potomac, in Westmoreland' county, he addressed a letter to Thomas ei. Booock, Speaker of the rebel House of dated Dseember SL stating that he Intended to..visit'the city of Washington “ for the purpose of ascertaining whether- or not It is practicable to obtain for the peo ple of the Confederate- States an early and an, honorable peace,” and that this mission was “cor dially sanctioned by some of the wisest and most virtuous ’men now upholding the Confederate eause.” In a postscript to this letter Mr, Foote’ made known his resignation In Congress. Mr. Foote dud cot succeed in crossing the Fotomae, but was arrested , and oarried to Fredericksburg, where he remained In military custody for nearly a week, when be was liberated on a writ of habeas corpus. He at once proceeded to Richmond, and there made hie last harangue “In that mobblsh assemblage known as the Congress of the Confederate States,” “ before a large and! evidently Approving audience.” After that be at once resumed hts original soheme of seeking access to the Washington authorities. This time he Snooeeded in reaching the headquar ters ol General Devan, at Lovlttsvllle. There one of the staff of General Sheridan called on him, and received from him' a letter to Secretary 3ew»rd, dated January 80, M 66. In this letter Mr. Foote, after having again referred to his former opposition to secession movements, proceeds to Bay; ”£ have now the honor to eay, ft r myself and for a largo number of tie meet weighty and Influential statesmen tbat the South contains, and. as I have rood reason to believe, in aceordanse with the wishes also of a very large majority of the soverelga people ot the hentoern states, whether in or eat ol the Confedetate srmtoß, that we, the Uonseryativ-s of the- floath. are ready and anxious to enter once more Into fraternal union with our fellow citizens of the north: that we ate resolved, If an opportunity of doing ao honorably shall to afforded üb. to withdraw at onee from all political cot section with the Oovernmest now looated in the city of Richmond, and to place ourselves and all wo hold dear once more natter the protection of the flag .’of car fathers. . n . ”flo one knows hotter than I dp that no anch pacifi cation as that whloh 1 now propose can ever come from Mr. Davis. Hie ofllci&i position and his devotion to his owu selfish schemeaeJiuUividiuil.aßcraudUemeat alike forbid it. But let President Lincoln issue a formal proclamation, addressed to the people of the Confede rate States, offering to them complete amnesty tot the past, aud&fuU restoration of the constitutional rights whisk they formerly enjoy ed,and they wUllmmeiiate -1 y bold Conventions ih all of the said States and vote theuuelves bsek into the Federal Union, calling home their troops at once, and leaving Mr. Davis to enjoy, as he may be able to do. the despotism which he has es tablished, together with such foreign protection for himself and hie ignoble projects as it shall he in his powertosecure ** Mr. Foote thought that Kentucky, Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Arkansas would be sure to follow the example of, Maryland and Missouri and abolish Slavery, and, therefore, it would be safe to leave slavery where the Federal Constitution left It ; hut If olreumstanees should exist which would lender such a plan impossible, he was prepared to say In behalf of those whom he re .presented that they will agree to such a outage of the Federal Constitution as will secure the satire extinction of slavery ou the lsi day of January, 1900, and whioh will provide also for the freedom of alt poisons of African blood who shall be born after the. Ist day of January, 1890. ■ Mr. Foote also declared that he stood ready: . “To make such further revelations, both ,as to facts sn&persdns. as will'ieave no eonbt upon- tm minds of President Linco.u andhlo constitutional advisers that' ample facilities exist for the bringing about, in the short periodofforty days too, such a counter-revolution as is above referred to. All that 1 desire is, to receive assurance rhat the information which 1 deem it proper, for reasons alike of pruaeneeand of-honor, to hold for the present In reserve, if imparted. will conduce to the restoration of pealce and;the re-establishment or tee Federal Union, in a manner and upon ’ terms consistent with the present honor and future safety of the South, and I will at once proceed to make full disclosures. ” Mr. Seward acknowledged toe receipt of this communication, arid stated that any further com munication which Mr. Foote might think it proper to Impart to the Government might be communi cated in the same manner .as toe first.. Major Gene ral Sheridan was directed either fe pass Mr. Foote back within the insurgent Hues, if he so chose, or to send him to Major General Bis, who would ha In structed to allow him to pass beyond the jurlsdlc tlen of the United States. Mr. Foote chose the latter oourse. From New York,he addressed a seodnd.let ter to Mr. Seward, dated February d, 1865; reitera ting his former sentiments and statements, and especially emphasizing. his -readiness to establish the fact by testimony of } the most trustworthy “ oha ' racier, that a large majority of the more enlight ened citizens of the South have at last come to the conclusion, In which I confess that I do lor one most fully honour, that should they be ever so successful In toe prosecution of the war nowln progress, they would find- themselves at the end of It an enslaved and wretched people, and that Southern indepm deuce, at one time so thoughtlessly ooveted and bo zealously striven for, would.be, If attained, precise ly the most deplorable calamity which oould possi bly befall them.” Mr. Foote did not wait for a reply to this com munication, but at once engaged a'passage to Liverpool. On board the steamship he was In formed that his second communication had been pieced In the hands of President Llnooln for con sideration, but having no special reason for sup - posing that It had been more favorably received than the former,he set sail.. On board the mall steamer he wrote another letter to~ President Lin coln, urging a modification of toe resolution then before the Congress at Washington for abolishing slavery by a constitutional amendment, and ex pressing the belief that the enforcement of the Monroe dootrlne would be a means of cordial recon cilement. _ . In conclusion, Mr. Foote entreats his oountry men, “whatever may be the action of President Lincoln upon the propositions submitted to him,’.’ to lose no fime in returning to the bosom of the Federal Union, ' • . ' Comntercial intercourse with the in> lurgent Stntes. [Thf following communication comes from a source that entitles the views expressed therdn to careful attention. So much bee lately been written on this subject, prejudicial to the administration of the Treasury Department, that we cheerfully give it a place in our columns:] To the Editor of The Press : Sin: Trade with the States declared by the Pre ; eldest to be pn iflaurreotton has probably occa sioned more bitter comment and discussion than any'other collateral matter—except the slavery question—that has grown out of the exigencies of thewar. But few persons know of the really great difficulties which surrounded this important sub ject at the very commencement. It Involved num berless interests, both public and private, and to direct and control it to the end that the pubUo wel fare and private rights should be protected were objects that claimed, early in 1861, the considerate attention of (then) Secretary Chase. Under the legislation of Congress, during the special session of that year, the President was authorized to license a “restricted commercial Intercourse” with such places and by such persons as, In his judgment, he should deem right and proper, which restricted In tercourse was ehtrustedto the management of the ' Treasury Department, and subjeetea to Boob rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Treasury -.should prescribe. ; : -The drafting of adequate regulations waa. a most perplexing and difficult tax, and the Secretary gave it serious deliberation. Thejexperiences of persons who were thoroughly familiar with the aubjeot In all Its bearings were freely availed of in perleating them, and every means was adopted likely to make them equal to the new and anomalous condition of things which called them Into existence, and it Is not venturing too much to say that while they had Imperfections, no doubt they ware wisely conceived, and generally answered the objects sought ag effec tively sb any that oould have been devised. They were uniform and general in their design and opera tion, and were enforced by Secretary Chase with energy and impartiality. He showed no favoritism to persons or places. It Is not Impossible that in some instances favoritism might have been Indulged by subordinate officers, but never with the know-' ledge or consent of the Seoretary. So far as was known at the Treasury Department, however, the duties of the subordinates In this branch of the de partmental {business were performed with fidelity and fairness. Certainly, no Infringement of the laws of Congress, or of the regulations prescribedln pur suance of such laws, would have been tolerated by Mr. Chase lor a single moment alter It was known. Since Mr. Chase’s retirement from the Treasury Department an entirely new system for the govern ment of this vexations trade has been devised and ' put into operation. Its wisdom has been very gravely .questioned. Mr. Washbume, In a recent report to the House of Representatives, declared that Its effects were pemloious, and quoted Major General Canby’s - opinion that its inevitable result must be to add strength and efficiency to the rebel armies east and west of the Mississippi, equal to fifty thousand men, and stimulate into aetlve oppo sition to the successful proseoutlon of the operations of.the Federal armies at least ten thousand men within our own lines. The plan which is ehlefiy conspicuous In the pre sent system Is that of contracting with parties who . profess to “own or control” cotton or other pro ducts of the Insurgent States “within andnear.” the national military lines, for their purchase by ; tend delivery to the Government. .These contraots . 'eremade. by an authorized agent or the Treasury . Department—H A. Kit ley> Esq.,. a faithful and e empetent' officer—and provide for the delivery by the oontraotlng party or parties of the specified articles at certain stipulated places and. times, to Government agents, who are authorized to take such products Into possession, forward them to mar ket, and sell them at the current prices.

The arrangements fot tho Issue of the $6OO 000,010 loan have all been perfected. The Hew Tori Tribune says the fir»,t issue will be of $3C0,000,000; on the ISth day of Jose next. The notes, in form, denominations, and interest, will be, in all respects, 11 ko the present issue of seven-thirties. The! .will he unlike them only in the period fixed for their convertibility. They will have Jen months longer to na than the seven* thirties before they can be ehinxed into gold-bearing five twenties. By a very large class of investors this differ ence will be considered to impart greater value to the new issne. The balance of the $400,000,000 will probably boa yearlonfer in maturing than the June issne; the time will be definitely fixed, as!the sales of the June issue approach theirend. It maybe the ba lance may not be reunited at all; that the first $3OO - COO, 000 will meet the necessities of the Government. Itis expected that this first issue will be disposed of in about three months. The agency of the present seven* thirties, with ail its machinery, will he employed for the whole of the new loan The stock marhet continued feverish and dull.
