Eule Kennedy that we had bther motives than mere

■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

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

54id that he had.come-to the conclusion that

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

London by Mr. Feote, recently Senator from Ten
neMKf lB the rebel Bonm'ess at Blohmonil, srad con
talEing an account ezA-’s efforts to bring about
peace. 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;
ӣ 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. Three
icnrths of the ( proceeds, after deduotlng afi. oOßts
and expenseßißrepald to the party oontraetUigwith

The National Intelligencer, whose conservatism
ls- well known, has the following complimentary no
tice of enr new Minister to Spain, Hon. John P.
Bale:
"We are glad to annonnewthat the position of
Minister to Spain, which' at an early day of Mr.
Lincoln’s first term Was given to Chrl Sc hurt, Estp,
has bfeen tendered to a gentleman of character and
ability: Mr. Bale, as Pater Senator, ae a pioneer of
the ideas of the party now In power, and as candi
date ef that party for the Presidency at a petted
when ltk poller had ' no strong hbßHtpon American
statesmen or the Athdrtcan peopl»,'cocat scarcely

honored position. But tt Is in Mr. Hale’s social po
sition, rather than his political course—in his high
professional abilities and parliamentary experience,
and in his thorough knowledge of men and'things— '
that we bare the belief that this country wllf be eare-1

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 Miners 1 Journal of the 11th Inst, says the lands
of the Rod Mountain Coal and Improvement Company,
comprising between five and six hundred seres, all coal
and covered with timber, are located two and a half miles
east of Tremont. The company was organized in 1844
under the State Mining laws, and at present is working
only a drift on the Black Mine Tunned and. Selkirk
veins. A slope is now being sunk, which, -when com
pleted, will work the Salem Gate and Little Gats veins.
It is anticipated that the slops will be in Operation early
in July next Abreakerwiih all the latest Improve
ments in hoisting machinery, etc., is now being built.
The coal is a pare red tsh, and it is confidently thought
that when the company’s improvements now in pro
greES are completed the productive capacity will be the
larSeeiof any red ash colliery in the region. Veins of
. white ath coal underlie, and the b'asin on the property
can bo reached by shafting. The company has an ox
