It is stated that "Francis P. Blair, Sr., returns to Richmond with full authority from President Lincoln to give a safo conduct to Washington for Peace Com missioners from Jefferson Davis." This slhtement i? made upon questionable au thority ; but, whethor true or falsest gives cvWonce, in connection with other oir cumstanoes, that the popular mind is now taking into serious consideration the prac ticability of negotiation between the sec tions. Wtien newspaper correspondents, day after day, ttunk it worth their while to writo and telegraph concerning peace ru mors and peace propositions, it is safe to conclude thai the current of popular thought is tunniDg in that direction. It is certain that tho pcoplo, of all parties, in the North, have received the impression that something is being douo diplomati cally to bring about a compromise. Mil lions of anxious hfcarts ore awaiting tho rcBult of tho mjstorious movements that conjecture pronounces to bo iu behalf of negotiation. The masso3,bonding boceath their load of tbSatiOhrshrinking' from the terrors of conscription, and mourning for their slaughtered kindred, listen with painful Eusf.euso for tho confirmation of their hopes. If tho missions that they have been led to suppose wore favored by the Administration with a view to recon ciliation should turn out to bo some in triguo to deccivo them or to complicate the questions in dispute for the purpose of giving a Xresh impulse to tho war senti ment, there will be sore disappointment in tho land. If tbeso journeyings to and fro, betwocn Washington and Kiohtnouu, have really no slgniGcancc of peace, it is tho duty of the Administration to be frank with tho pcoplo, and break at once tho rose-hucd bubble that floats so fascinat ingly before their eyes.

Slavery lies at the foundation of South ern society. That system of labor Is in-1 tcrtwiuod in the Confederacy around all tho rights o( property. Prodjudioo and pride bedgo it round about in tho South ern soul. Attachment and duty have en grafted it in the Confederacy side by side with domostio affection. To p'hiclr that system from their hearts, to tear it from the very baso of their social organization, shows a terriblencss of purposo at which even bloody fanaticism mmtstaud aghast. The South declares that, bhe Gghts but for hor freedom. Tho sincerity of that declaration, she proposes now to place un der tho proof of a sublime sacrGco.

A committee appointed by tho Legisla ture tb Visit Washington to make an effort to have tho quota reduced, has returned, and although no official announcement has been made of tho fact it is understood tbat they were measurably successful, and that the unjust decision of the authorities in saddling tho enormous quota of near 07, 000 on Pennsylvania has. bein rccallod, and that the number will bo much less. Governor Curtin,in his last message took strong ground against tho j.ayment of lo cal Bounties, and thd Legislature seems to bo of tho samo temper. Tho probabil ity is that tbo law allowing tho paymont of local Bounties, will 60on be repealed, and those who so vauntingly said ''volt for L'urtin and uvovl the Draft" and lUc-cltct Lincoln. and the tear will be over without any mote men being requited," will havo an opportunity of feeling as well as seeing how cruelly they deceived un suspecting au honest men into the support of Abolitionism.

A terriblo sacriGce of life may in that way have been avoidedi but theCghtiog subse quently in confessed to have been exceed ingly stubborn. The defensos of tho fort consisted of a series of traverses, and thereforo took the form of a succession of formidable breastworks. 'J be garrison resisted sternly at every one of these, aud therefore fought from the time of Terry's first footing upuu the parapet uutil the close of the struggle, behind works. For six or seven hours the battle raged under circumstances so opp-jllingly unequal. Tho original force engaged in the attack was. early iu the evening, nearly crushed. An additional brigado having been brought up from tho rear, this lighting was main taincd with renewed vigor; but. inasmuch as the contest was about to bo suspended for the night when the Confederates cvac ualed the place, even the ro iuforcdmonts of the original ussailauts uiu3t have been very nearly shattered to pieces. Four or Gve thousand men, exposed for so many hours to a fire from behind breastworks, must havo suffered terribly j and this gen eral fast must, apart from the evidence otherwise showing that it had becu para Ijzed, satisfy every ono that its losses are not stated truly in tho reports which sot them down at nine hundred.

Tho two hundred deaths confessed to have resulted from tho explosion of the maga zine of Fort Fisher, point to the supposi tion that the number of wounded would swell the list of casualties on that occasion to eighf or ten hundred. The cost of tho capluro of Fort Fisher in men, can cer tainly not bo estimated by one who wishes to look at things as they really arc,at less than.Gve hundred killed and two thousand to two thousand five hundred wounded.
