Richmond, Va , March 13, 1865.?To the Senate and House of Representatives: I herewith transmit for your information copies of the correspondence referred to in my message of this date, in regard to the proposed conference to adjust terms of peace by means of a military convention. Jkftsrson Davis: LETTER OF GENERAL B. E. LEE. " Headquarters C. S. Armies, 3d March, 1865.?Lieutenant General U. S. Orant, Commanding United States Armies: Gen eral?Lieut. General Longstreet has in formed me that, in a recent conversation between himself and M?jor General Ord, as to the possibility of arriving at a satisfac tory adjustment of the present unhappy difficulties, by means of a military conven tion, General Ord stated that if I desired to have an interview with you on the subject, yon would not decline, provided I had au thority to aot. Sinoerely desiring to leavo oothiog untried which may put an end to the calamities of war, I propose to meet you at such convenient time and place as you may designate, with the hope that up on an interchange of viewl,' it maybe found practicable to submit the subjects of controversy between the belligerents to a convention of tbe kind mentioned. In such event, I am authorized to do whatever the result of the proposed inter view may render necessary or advisable. Sbould you aocede to tbis proposition, I would suggest that,if agreeable toyon, we meet at the plaoe selected by Qe'nerals Ord and Longstreet for "the interview, at' 11 A. U. on Monday next. Very respectfully, your ob't sorv't, R. E. Lee, General. LETTER FROM GBNHBAL D. S. GRANT. Headquarters Armies of the United States, March 4<A, 1865.?General R. E.Lee, Com mandiog C. 8. Armies: Geceral?Your two letters of tbe 20tb inst. were received yes terday. In rtgird to any apprehended mie'uuderstandiog in reference to the ex change of political prisoners, I think there need be none. Gen. Ord.or Gen. Long street have probably misunderstood what I said to tbe former on the subject, or I may have failed to make myself understood, possibly. A few days before tbe interview between Generals Longstreet and Ord I Bad received a dispatch from General Huffman, CommlssaryjGeneral of Prisoners, stating in sut^tanco that all priaoners of war who were or had been in close confinement or irons, whether under fcBarges.of sen'enoe's, bad beenordered to City Point for exchange! 1 forwarded the substance of-that dispatch to lieutenant Colonel Molford, Assistant Agent of Exchange, and presumed it prob able that be liad commnnicaWd it to Col. Robert Ould. A day or two after, an offen der, who was neither a prisoner of war nor a political prisoner, waa executed, after a fair and impartial trial/?d in accordance :with the laws of war and the usage of civilised nations. It was in explanation of this class of caBes tba$.i ,told General Ord to apeak to General Longstreet. Reference to my letter of February J^ih will show my understanding on tbe sabject of releasing political or citisen prisoners. In regard to meoiiogyouonthe6thinBt., I would state 4bat I have no authority to accede to y--<ur proportion for a conference on the subject proposed. Such authority is vested in the President of the United States alone. General Ord could only have meant that I would n?l?tluae an interview on-aoy subject on which I have a right to act; which, of conraa, would be such as are purely of a military character, and on tbe subject of exebaqg*,/ which has been entrusted to me. I have tbe honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, iD. 8. Grabt, Lieutenant General. lxttbr of vbb paxaioiir. ', Richmond, Va., Feb. 38,1865 ?General R. E. Lee.

I*i?i advance ftom Savannah to Sister's Ferry and thence along the Savannah river! and through the districts of Beaufort, Colleton and Barnwell, it was engaged in a perDet ual struggle with nature. The eold^ra had to build oorduroy roads and trestle bridges for miles through the swamna working by sunlight and torchlight, op to j hips, and sometimes up to theirshoul ders, in water. Suoh were the exertions by which the veterans of the West strove to get an opportunity of meeting the enemy. Once across the Ejisto, however, the leti wing was on high ground, and in a rioh, fertile country, abounding wilh supplies aud provided with good roads, and the ce lerity and vigor of Sherman became as conspicuous as bis former tenacity and pa .I60."? 11 WaB ?nJthe 4th cf Jaauary that that officer crofsed the Salkebatcbie river outflanking the Confederates opposed to him, and compelling them to fall back on Branchville,' On the 8th he struck the South Carolina Railroad at Grahamsville figb,^?ntInile8 weat of Branchville. and on the 12th he crossed the South Edisto, flank ing that important town. It was now that according to the Richmond papers, the struggle for South. Carolina was to com mence. Sherman was to find Beauregard a "lion in his path." '?Sherman," laid Ibe Richmond Examiner, "is only uow be ginning to enter upon the difficult part of his enterprise, and his. invincible army is about to be tested. We know it can march incredible distances and steal much, but now it will have to fight a little." Gene ral Beauregard, however, who has not the military faults of General Hood r v,.-n0tu ,judg0 tbat the time for lighting had come; while Sberman'a move ments were marked by gteat rapidity and decision. On the 13th Sherman took Orangeburg, seventeen miles from Branch ville, the Confederates falling back without fighting It was then said they were going to defend the line of the Sautee. Thai lini? however, was passed-by Sb*rman"witboui difficulty, Beauregard having fallen back upon Columbia, on the Congaree. Sher man appeared beforo the place on the 16ib and threw some shells into it. In the night ne moved bis troops up tho west baok of the river, and crossed over, aod seain Beauregard fell back, yieldiog possession of the Slate Capital of South Carolioa without striking a blow. Thus in five days Sbor man had advanced from Branohville to Co lumbia,a distanceof sixty eight miles, wiib Beauregard continually in his Iront. This time there was nothing published at Rich mond about the misterly policy of ''draw ing Sherman away from his base " The Carolines are too near Virginia for triflinz even on paper. In the conduct of Sherman's army that army of "discipline and action," as a Car olina journal has styled it?nothing is more striking than the admirable co-ordination of the movements of its several parts. When the left wing waB taking Columbia the right was near Charleston, separated from it by a distance of 128 miles, the ewampy nature of the intervening country makiog direct intercommunication* utterly impossible.' Nevertheless, all its opera lion? were so conducted as to take advan . tage of tho opportunities created by the successes gained in the m ddle dia'triota of the State. Early in Janua y transports had ascended the North Edisto river, and the troops, crosaing to the mainland, secu red a position on tho railroad, from which they could move upon the flank of the city, still maintaining their communication with the sea. On the 15th of January a further forco was thrown upon James Island, and Admiral Dablgren received an accession to bis fliet. The Confederate commander, however, did not wait to bo attacked. It was evident that if Beaure gard could not prevent Sherman's north ward advance, Charleston must be evacu ated while there was atill a way of escape for its garrison. The Confederate forces left the town the day after the retreat trom Columbia; and at| the fortifications and defences in ithe front and rear of the city including the famous Fort Sumter, passed into the possession Bf the National army. The southern troops,.before leaviog ttieoitv set it on fire, and a very large portion is destroyed. ThiSy also caused an explosion in one of their depots, by which several hoodreds of the citizens bad been killed ? Thus angrily departed the cruel spirlt'of secession from the city where, four years ago, its advent was : celebrated by huxian and ringiog of bells.1 It will be very interesting tolearn, when the details ot Sherman's march arrive what effect the presence of bi3 army has had in a State .where slavery has attained a growth naeqaalled in aoy part of the Union. When the offioial oensus was t?? ken in 1860 there, were more slaves: than freemen in Softth Carolina, the number being respectively 407,185 aod 308 186 The liberation of the slaves will take the weft out of the existing fabric of society and prepare for its reoonstrucion with el ements wholly sound abd free. At tbia serious moment, when Mr. Benjamin and Gen. Lee declare that the Confederacy can only be saved by the aid of the long de. spiaed negro, the: Charleston Utrtury de nounces the freeing'6f slaves, and.has the courage to , declare that South Carolina entered the struggle solely to maintain slavery, and that "Southerly independence and slavery mast stand or fall together.'' Sherman will, probably advance now to Wilmington. General Schofield and Ad miral Porter have taken Fort Anderson. which covers that tb#o, *nd its reduction see me imminent.' General Beauregard wilt proflr by. the junction Which he will now effeot with the troops trom Charleston, bat tb*Sff, if unaided by others detached from Lee, will not enable him to preveat ,?r de lay. the advance otitis enemy, * ' Tile Crop* M Tbe Commissioner btl-agriculture B| Washington has prepared the following vataable tables, showing the amount oi bropsin the loyal states for 1864, the Dum ber of acres planted to each crop', and tbe value of each, compared with the same for 1863, and tbe increase ar decrease of each: -These tables are a summary of tbe same .facta made tip by states, which will appear in the February report of tbe department^ soon to be published.

The New York ,Tribune feels very san guine of the speedy end of the rebellion.? We clip from its leader as follows : " If our private information is authentic and we see no reason to doubt it?Geo. Lee has not fied Jeff. D*vis tbat it is im possible, with the means at his command, to make head against tbe Union f jrces now concentrating for bis overthrow. Tbar such is tbe fact, we cannot doubt; that Geo. Lee realises and has privately con fessed it we firmly believe. * * * * We are confident that the Rebellion is crushed and further bloodshed needless ? Only let President Lincoln evince au ear nest desire tbatthe war stiall uow end?let I hitn appeal to tbe people of the Somb to stay this useless, wasteful effusion ot blood, and throw herself on the clemeocj of their country, and we firmly believe that the next thirty days may see the close of the War. The Tribune'# money writer, in tbe spirit of the above, comments on the financial situation thus: Commercial credits are in great disfavor under the fall in merchandise, which has already weakened bouses supposed to be very staunch. The break iu gold is more serious iu ita effects upon mercantile cred its than tbe pubUo realises. Tbe facts are, that all business for tbe last year has been done upon higher prices for gold than tbe present. Tbe price has ringed from 169 to 285, and the whole fabric of com mercial credits is based upon a rateforgold which probably will never prevail again du ring tbe life of any merchant. Tbe ten dency of gold is downward and not to be permanently arrested. With declining gold comes liquidation and tbe sweeping away of fortunes existing upon paper. All commodities must go to consumption upon gold at declining rates, and no solvent man can find a good reason why an effjrt should be made to arrest this step toward natural prices. Most of tbe premium on gold and the advance in goods have been the result of Sicesh gambdog, and the alarm caused by disloyal writers, who lost no occasion todenounoe tbe National cur rency as worthless, and the sooner gold and paper are brought together tbe better for all legitimate business. Legal tender notes are not abundant, and no large amodnt could be bad without paying a premium. Journalistic Courtesy. The Philadelphia Prut in tbe course of an article upon ?? Journalists and Journal ism." forcibly says: '?It is tbe misfortune of tbe journalist that bis own inclination makes bim a hew er of wood and a drawer of water for those whom he should despise. It is the misfor tune of journalism that an influence which, combined, would be irresistible, is wasted and frittered away by internal dissensions. The Btrength and unity of sentiment thai sbonld be given to the pnblic welfare ie devo'eS to personal quarrels. This ehoulo not be. The mission of the preBS is too high and sacred to be thrown away in ab Burd controversy. To the world at large, eboh cont'sis have no interest beyoni the interest of the gissipera, and no effect but lo bring our profession into contempt.? What is there io the griefs of Hecuba tbat the people should weep t " The New York Tribune conies the above and comments npoo it thus: We are not awire that the conductors of leading journals in any country but ours have bad the bad babit o' discussing tacb other's personal history, peculiarities and pbytiognomies, instead of their respective positions aod arguments. And, while we may have at some times been provoked to reton the personal assaults of onr rivals, we have never been reconciled to the system. We alt know that tney'arenot the most emi neat lawyers wbo browbeat and black j guard each other in trying their oausee; aod the preemption is very strong tba those editors wbo deligbi'itr holditg'eScfc other up to ridicule and reprobation are* not the shining lights of their profession. We hope to see the day when a journalist wbo uses bis pen and bis columns to blacken the reputation of certain of his eotemporariea will be eeverely let alone aliko by bis brother journalists and by the public.
