The Peace Movement In the Rebel Congress. The following article from the Richmond WAiy of Jan. 18, iatrodacea the letter from Jeff. Davis which was given yesterday: While we have taken no part in the dis cussions which have taken place in the columns cf some of the ci'y papers, con cerning certain rumored proceedings of that body on the subject ot informal and irregular negotiations with tbe enemy, it has not escaped our observation that these discussions have aroused tbe attention of tbe public, and that they have excited a very natural degree ot intorest. We might say that debate on tbe questions on which no open issue has been made, and which rest entirely on hypothetical and conjec tural conditions, is irrelevant and super fluous. Yet it must be admitted that in the present temper of the public mind the very tendency to admit such questions is a significant symptom, and the tendency is, no doubt, strengthened by the mystery with which the custom of Bitting in secret must invest the most proceedings of Con gress. While it would be in tbe bigbest degree uojust to censure that body for supposed delinquencies, or merely imputed errors, it is only natural that tbe people should feel some anxiety concerning the coarse of tbeir representatives at this extremely critical moment. Hence, although sharing to the fullest extent in tbe deep interest with which the acts of tbe legislative body are watched by tbe public, we think it only right to abstain from a Criticism on their conduct wCicb may prove to be unwarranted by tic-.a, and troui condemnation of acts which, after all, may be purely imaginary. Nevertheless as this subject of negotiation, wbetber through tbe medium appointed by the Constitution, or in the various irregu lar methods which have been suggested, is one of grave importance, we lay beforeour readers a letter ou a cognate question, addressed some time since by the President to several prominent members of the Geor gia State Senate, among them tbe Presi dent of that body. As this letter may form a conspicuous feature in onr cotemporan eous history, we think we cannot do better than to lay it before tbe public. All, we think, will agree that it is a clear, forcible, and cogent document. Then followed, without further com ment, the important letter which has been given. From tbe Richmond Enquirer, Jan. 18. While peace rumors are prevailing at this time, yet none of them indicate any meana by whioh peace ia to be obtained. Tbe Washington authorities lake high ground and say they will not treat with tbe Confederate authorities, but entertain a willingness to entertain propositions from tb6 States. In Virginia there is no authority with which tbey can treat. "Weat Virginia" is loyal, and therefore needs no negotiation. And Virginia has a "Governor" in Alexandria, and Senators and Representatives in Washington. Gov ernor Smith at Richmond is regarded as an usurper, as well as a rebel, and conse quently the Richmond State organization can be no more treated with than the Con federacy. While worshipping their green back "calves" at Wheeling and Alexandria, they will not bow down to the Richmond Governor. Therefore Virginia cannot, if she would, make any propositions that Washington would entertain. Thus we are left out in the cold, with no alternative b?t "to fight it out like men." While the other States are not so well, or, if it is preferred, bo badly off as Vir ginia, while the) are not blessed with so many "Governors" that it is impossible to agree as to which of them is the rightful Governor of their good people, are ao cursed with governmeois that while all are de facto none are de jure in tbe opinion of tbe enemy, yet tbe people of all the States are met with confiscation acts that plainly cell them "you may come back, but you must return propertyless, penniless; you must surrender ail yonr land, your slaves, all yonr personal property, certainly, and take your chanoes for life with the oourts, and with executive clemency. Can any man point out any other terms? We know that Mr. Orr of Mississippi inti mated that better terms than abolition of slavery could be obtained at Wash ington ; but, witb nil due respect to that gentle man, we defy him to give to bis coun trymen any evidence whatever to justify his assertion. We challenge him or any otber man to come forward with any evi dence tbat both confiscation and abolition are not still insisted upon by tbe Washing* ton authorities. We oesert that both laws are unrepealed, and we understand that Mr. Singleton, the reported peace commis sioner now in Richmond, informed gentle men since bis arrival bere that tbe Repub licans in Washington were discussing bills before Congress for tbe establishment of confiscation courts wherever their armies penetrate, and the taking possession of all property and its distribution among their armies. Mr. Orr of Mississippi cannot mean to wilfully delnde and mislead bis oountry into the belief that tbe enemy have, through any of the itinerant peace makers that' have lately been passing to and fro like trade winds, intimated that other terms than "abolition or reconstruc tion" oould be made with tbe Washington authorities. We have no knowledge of tbat movement whioh Mr. Orr announces to be in tbe bands of men who are "sustained by a volume (24 mo, we believe?En.) of sen timent in toe country, and in the army, and by their own sense of du!y, and who are determined that in some form the states manship of the country shall be invoked in an hooest effort to end this carnival of death by negotiation." We wish Ur. O.-r and all other men God Bpeed In ending this "carnival of death," but let them take care that they don't inaugurate a carnival of slavery, and make their coantrymen the byword and reproach among the peoples of the earth. If Mr. 0rr*8 "statesmanship" and "ne gotiations" apply to efforts of the House of Representatives, he has used inappro priate terms, since statesmanship and negotiation, as they apply to peace, do do not come within the constitutional sphere of duty for the house. Negotia* | tions of all kinds belong exclusively to the President and the Senate, and the House his noth'10a. whatever to do with | them. If the HoaSs sot ifio erampld ot violating {he Constitution, it most not be surprised if others follow its example, and "Pride's Purge" become as familiar to Confederate as it is to English history. Whatever action that may have been which evoked the debate upon an article of "Sentinel" it cannot but do barm; It is now apparent that the action of the House of Representatives is better under stood in Washington than it is in Rich* mond; that through some means or other Mr. Orr*s proposition was known to the newspapers of the enemy before it was heard of in those of his own country.? The enemy are encouraged more by this evidence of weakness on our part than by all their military successes. We implore Congress to drop "statesmanship and negotiation," and give their whole time to their oouDtry, its army and its cause. Take care of the army, provide for its or ganization, increase its numbers, secure its rations and clothing, and the army will take care of their country. Leave peace to Providence and let us fight it out like men." This is our sole duty. We cannot make peaco except that of surrender-submission-slavery; and that peace the army will not make or permit the CoDgress to mako. Biographical Sketch at Brig. Gen. W. H. PowtlJi formerly Colonel of the And Wtit Virginia Caralrjrf Known Co tbe Rebels as * one eyed Powell"? His farewell Order to Ille Com mand, We bare already noticed the resignation of this gallant officer, bo long an honor to the West Virginia service, and we have published the testimonials tendered him not only by Gob. Sheridan, bat by the rank and file of his command on the occa sion of his recent leave taking. Below we present a brief biographical sketch of him : William H. Powell was born in South Wales, Oreat Britain, on the 10th of May, 1825.- Wbea only Sveysaraold (5a Marcti, 1830), he net brought to this couotry by his parents, who took him to the State of New Jersey. After remaining here one year, his next seat of residence was for two years in the State of Pennsylvania. He ! thence, in tbe spring of 1833, removed to Nashville, Tennessee, remaining until the year 1843. The spring of the same year tonnd him again changing his residence? this lime to Wheeling, Virginia, where he remained until the spring ot 1853, and then moved to Ironton, Lawrence county, Ohio, bis present home. When tbe rebellion brake out he waB employed as a financial agent and general superintendent in an extensive iron manufactory in the State of Ohio. This position he relinquished to enter tbe United States service, in answer to the President's call for volunteers, in August, 1861. Having raised a company, he was elected captain and assigned to the Second (loyal) Virginia cavalry. The rank of captain be held until June 25,1862, when, for meritorious condaot on the field, he was raised to a mojorship. In October followiog be was promoted to lieutenant colonel. This rank be attained in conse quence of having charged into a rebel camp?Fourteenth Virginia cavalry, two hundred strong?on SiokiDg creek, Green briar county, WeBt Virginia, Nov- 26, 1862. This charge he made with only one com missioned officer and twenty men ol his own regiment, oaptoriog 117 prisoners, including two commissioned officers, 500 stand of arms and 130 horses, equipped. His term of service as lieuten ant colonel expired on the 18th of May, 1863, at which time be reached tbe full raak ol' colonel. As Colonel of the Second Virginia, he commanded tha same dnriog the raid made on Wytheville, a station ou the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad, in July, 1863. In the conrae of thia raid, be led a charge into Wytheville, and captured from the enemy two pieces of artillery, and took eighty prisoners. The charge was so successlul that the enemy waa literally routed. Uofortun -tely Colonel Powell was "wounded, supposad mortally, aud left In town, thus falling into the bands of the enemy. He was taken to Ricbmood, and it being reported among the rebels of bis having burned property and maltreated the disloyal people ot Western Virginia, he was closely confined, without bed or bed ding, for tbirty-ssven days, and duriog this time kept on bread and water. While confined in this manner be suoceeded in getting a letter to the rebel Major General 8am. E Jones. In reply to (be letter Gen eral Jones made such representations to the rebel authorities at Richmond as to induce them to allow the prisoner the privileges of a prisoner of war. Qeneral Jones commanded the rebel Department of Southwestern Virginia, and would cer tainly have known had there been any troth in the charges preferred against the accused. The rebel Uolonel Riobard H. Lee having fallen into oUr bands wounded aod a prisoner, and Colonel Powell beiog anxious to aglin reach the field of aotive service, the rebels also beiog anxious to get Lee back, a special parole for thirty days was granted to Colonel Powell to go North to effect an exchange for Colonel Lee. The exchange was effected. Colonel^ Powell bad been a prisoner over six months1 and suffered all the indignities and hard ships to which it waa pcssible for the rebels to reduce him. On returaing with in the Union lines he resumed tbe com mand ot his regiment on tbe 11th of March following hi3 parole and release. Bis reg iment was in Qeneral Daifie's brigade of General AveriU's command, and engaged in tbe movement ot General Hunter against Stannton and Lynchburg. On .reaching Stannton Colonel Powell was placed in commaDd of tbe Tnird bri gade of tbe Second cavalry division, Gen. Averill commanding. It waa Col. Pow ell's brigade tbat opened tbe engagement in front of Lynchburg. For his conduct at Wytheville aad up to tbe time of his return to tbe Kanawha region, Colonel Powell received complimentary notices from General Averitl, which are on record. On the 20th of July, Colonel Powell, with his brigade, had again reached the She* nandoab valley, via: Parkersburg, West Virginia and Cumberland, Md., and formed a portion of the forces engaged in the ac tions of the 20tb of July, at Stevenson's depot; Newtown, the 22d, and Winchester, tbe 24th of the same month. He also pass ed, as a brigade oommander, through the several battles from and inclusive of Moore fiold, August 7, to Winchester,'September 19; also tbe engagement at Fisher's Hill. On arriving at Mount Jackson, General Averill being relieved, Colonel Powell was placed in command of tbe 2d cavalry divis ion, and took itthrough tbe course ot fights and movements in tbe neighborhood of Port Republic, Woyer's Cave and Browa's Gap. On the 19th of October he revived his appointment as brigadier geue-.. <>f Vulun teers, vice Brigadier General Bin veil, kill ed, for gallant conduct in the j .ttles of Winchester and Fisher's Hill o> the 19ch and 231 of September, 1864. rue ap pointment thus made was Becnrcd exclu sively for services rendered in the Sfld. The first eogagement in which General Powell participated in his new rank and command was alNinevab, six miles north of Froot Royal, on the pike, where bo at tacked Gea. Lomax with his division, and routed tbe rebel forces, taking one bnndred and sixty one prisoners, including twenty commissioned office, capturing two bat tle Hags and alt tbe enemy's artillery and trains. On this occasion we killed tweaty and wounded tbirty?five of the enemy.? Our own loss was light. After this be was in several minor engagements, until the 22d of November, 1864, on which dsy, in order to effect the full purposes ot a recon noissance and make the enemy develop bis entire strength, be charged bis division, at Rood's Hill, Shenandoah valley, against Birly's whole army, deployed in three lines of battle?tbe centre covered with artillery and tbe flanks protected by oav alry?and brought bis command off in good order, and with only the loss of a few ot his men killed on the field. GENERAL POWELL'S FAREWELL ADDRESS. Immediately on receipt of the o3icial no tification that bis resignation had beeo accepted, General Powell issued the fol lowing:? Hn'ya's, Second Cavalry DivieioN, \ Dbp't of West Va., Jin. 10, '65. / To the Officers and Soldiers of the Second Cavalry Division :? Comrades?The time of our separation is at hand. No one regrets the existence ot the cause that necessitates the act more than I. On leaviog the division allow me to assure you that 1 shall ever cherish your memory with fond recollection. Our associations hare been of the most pleas ant character. In the administration of the affairs of the division I have at all times endeavoted to keep in view but one object?the good of the service, regardless of personal popularity. Tbo faitbtul have been rewarded and the indolent and ineffi cient have been punished, as far as in my power. To the Second brigade of the di vision, now commanded by Colonel H. Capeheart, formerly commanded by me from the lOih day of June, 1864, to the 24th of September, 1864. (at which time I assumed command of the division), I owe much of my success as an officer, and for which it has my thanks. To the division as a whole, I can say with great pleasure, that through the unparalleled, active and successful campaign in the Shenandoah Valley success has crowned all our efforts. May I not hope that such may character ize all your efforts in the future? Hoping that the reputation which, as a division, you have gained, may be preserved untar nished, and that in all the changes through whichyou may be called to pass harmony may prevail in the organization, I bid you farewell.

Toe steamships Morning Star and Fun ahoy, from New York, arrived at New Or leans on the 16th. Commander Palmer, commanding the Gulf blookading squadron, returned to New Orleans from Mobile Bay. Captain Reynolds and others, captured by guerrillas in the eteamer Venango, have been released and sent to Vick9burg. There is but little inquiry for,, cotton in the New Orleans market. Buyers offering lower figures, but holders declining to make concessions. Prime sugar 22Jc. Prime molasses $1 22? Forrest is reported conccntrating bis forces aS Hinston, Mississippi, with a view of makiog a raid into Memphis. The steamers Belle Memphis and Glen- j dale, from Memphis, have arrived, the for mer with 140 bales of cotton for St. Louis,! aud the latter with 326 bales cotton for Cincinnati. On the 21st a detachment of troops from Memphis, crossed the river and attacked a band of guerrilas at Mound City, killiog 1, wounding 1 and capturing 5, witbout the loss of a man. Tae expedition was still in pursnit of the guerrillas. A private letter trom Pascagoula, of re cent date, states that Granger's forces have fallen back, for the present, to within the limits of the town, the roads since the storm having become so bad as to render it impossible to transport supplies to the position formerly held by them. From Richmond Papers. Niw Yobk, Jan. 24.?The Richmond En quirer of the 20th, say?: The reticence of tbe rebel war department concerningevents current in the south, indicates the fact that important movements are in progress. If Wilmington falls there will be no pan ic though much sorrow for the inhabitants. The idea that there is an immense amount of cotton stored there is an attractive in fluence, to say uothing of that port as a base, which is now alluring the invaders towards it. There is a combination in the matter whicbjiuvolves Charleston as well, and Sherman is on foot in:tbe matter. If these places fall it will be after the exhi bition of much strategy,for Sh'erman is al ways at it, and we hope our army is also. Sherman's feints are in fact realities, for while aiming at various places, meaningto take all, it hardly matters with him which be takes first. The Richmond Sentinel says: The Senate resolution creatiog the office of commander in chief of all the armies, has been con curred in by the House, also recommending the reinstatement of Gen. Joe Johnson. The World's Savannah correspondent says, the rebels expecting an advance on Charleston, are making preparations to evacuate .that city, and have already com mencd removing government property. Moving Towards Wilmington New York, Jan. 24.?The Herald's des patches from Fort Fisher say the naval fleet and the army commenced moving towards Wilmington on the afternoon of last Wednesday. There is yet no confirm ation of the report that Gen. Terry had occupied the place, but on the day the movement commenced explosions in that direction were heard, and it was supposed that the rebels were blowing up their for tifications, preparatory to evacuating the town. A large earthwork on the west side of Cape Fear River had been occupied by the troops, who met with little opposition. A chart of the river has been found, showing where the rebels bad sunk the torpedoes, and many of these had been taken up. A number planted in the ground above Fort Fisher had also been removed. Two gentlemen who were lately doing business in Wilmington as merchants ar rived in this city yesterday. They got outside of the rebel lines when Fort Fisher was taken. They say the town was not well provided with works or troops. Official War Dispatch. Washinqton, Jan. 24.?Maj. Gen. Dix: ?The following dispatch was received by ibia department from Lieut<Gen. Grant. (Signed) ?. M. Stanton. Citt Point, Jan. 23 ?Hon. E. 31. Stan ton, Secrttary of H'ar.?One of my staff officers has just returned from Fort Fisher with despatches ;from Sen Terry, from which I extract the following: "On the 16th the enemy Blew np Forte Casewell and Gampbellaodabandoned them and the works on Smith's Inland and those at Smithvilie and wore reoccupied by the navy. Tbe whole number of guns captured amounts to 162, and a large number of small arms also fell into our bands, besides quantities of ordnance and oommiasary stores. Our casualties preve smaller than a first reported. They foot up thus: 12 officers and 107 men killed; 45 officers and 490 men wounded. (Signed,) D. S. Grant, Lieutenant General. No Heart to Enter Into Details Nkw York, Jan. 24.?The Wilmington Carolinian ot tbe 16ih, Bays: Fort Fisher fell last night after an obstinate resistance. Gen. Whiting and staff, with about 3,000 troops, are now in the hands of the enemy. The conflict within tbe fort waa a very se vere one, and lasted for two hours, a hand to bacd fight with tbe enemy. We have no heart to enter into details, nor to comment on the disastrous event. We may tell onr readers, howevtr, that tbe gallant Whiting did hie duty, but had to succumb to their force of numbers, having been as saulted on bis sea, land, and rear faces by tbe soldier?, sailors and marines of the enemy. We are glad to learn, says the Lynch burg Republican, from an authoritative source, that the salt works will again be in successful operation by the 1st of Feb ruary next, possibly before, so slight was the injury to them oy the late Yankee raid. Qukbko, Jan 24.?In the opening debate in parliament last night tbe government was sustained by a large majority. The conduct of tbe Southern refagees in Can. ada was strongly denounced, and a de termination expressed to end such abuse of asylum. A commission was issued to to inquire into the cause of the failure of justice. It refrains to release the St. Al bans raiders.
