, I should have notice of any design to alter the existing status there. Mr. Justice Nelson was present at these conversations, three in number, and I submitted to hy communications to Judge Crawford, and informed Judge C. that they had his (Judge Nelson's) sanction. I gave you, on the 22d March, a substantial copy of the statemwith the commissioners and yourself was superinduced by a conversation with Justice Nelson. He informed me of your strong disposition in favor of peace, and that youout the knowledge of the Commissioners. Your depression was obvious to both Judge Nelson and myself. I was gratified at the character of the counsels you were desir best authority, and they were to confide in the ability of myself, aided by Judge Nelson, to determine upon the credibility of my informant.

rward appeared, for very good reasons. and Delaware. Delaware had elected George P. Fisher (Unionist), in 1860, by the combined vote of the Lincoln and Bell parties — giving him 257 majority over Biggs (Breckinridge); while Reed (Douglas) drew away 761 votes. Tennessee had not yet chosen Representatives; and, when she did choose, at her regular State election, five weeks later, only the three districts east of the mountains elected members to the Union Congress; and, of these, one--Thomas A. R. Nelson — being arrested by the Rebels while on his way to Washington, regained his liberty by renouncing the Union and professing adherence to the Rebellion. Of the seceded States, only Arkansas chose Representatives to Congress in 1860; and these renounced their seats by open and active adhesion to the Southern Confederacy. In the Senate, the four States first named were fully represented; while Andrew Johnson was present from Tennessee, making 44 in all. Western Virginia had chosen three

nted by ballot to prepare articles of impeachment and to conduct the prosecution before the Senate. The managers, on the part of the House, in the President's case, were John A. Bingham, of Ohio; George S. Boutwell, of Massachusetts; James F. Wilson, of Iowa; John A. Logan, of Illinois; Thomas Williams, of Pennsylvania; Benjamin F. Butler, of Massachusetts; Thaddeus Stevens, of Pennsylvania. The President's counsel were: Henry Stanbery, of Kentucky; B. R. Curtis, of Massachusetts: Thomas A. R. Nelson, of Tennessee; William M. Evarts, of New York; William S. Groesbeck, of Ohio; Jeremiah S. Black, of Pennsylvania. The preliminary proceedings in impeachment cases are formal and tedious. When all things are ready the members of the House, before proceeding to the Senate, resolve themselves into a committee of the whole House for the purpose of prosecuting the impeachment and attend in that manner, though none of them but the managers takes part in the proceedings.

Snelling, Josiah 1782-1829 Military officer; born in Boston, Mass., in 1782; served in the war against Tecumseh; promoted captain in June, 1809, and won distinction at Tippecanoe; was conspicuous for gallantry during the second war with England, taking part in the battles of Lundy's Lane, Chippewa, and Fort Erie. He refused to raise a flag of truce at the fall of Detroit, and while a prisoner declined to take his hat off to Nelson's monument, despite the efforts of the British soldiers to force him to remove it. Finally, he was freed from embarrassment by the command of Gen. Isaac Brock, who ordered the British soldiers to respect the scruples of a brave man. He was promoted lieutenant-colonel in 1815 and colonel in 1819. He was the author of Remarks on Gen. William Hull's memoirs of the campaign of the Northwestern army, 1812. He died in Washington, D. C., Aug. 20, 1829.

Shelly with a shot-gun. Shelly returned the fire, put pine buckshot into wheeler's body, and killed him, of course. A paper manufactory is shortly to be established at New Orleans, to supply the growing demand. The required capital has been subscribed at New Orleans, and the factory is to be located on the line of the Jackson Railroad. The newspapers in the seaport cities of the South have been openly noticing the movements of privateers. It is an unwise practice. Hon. Thomas A. R. Nelson is a candidate for the Confederate Congress from the First Congressional District, East Tennessee, and Hon. Horace Maynard from the Second. O. R. Lane has been arrested at Memphis for stealing 30,000 gun caps from the State factory at Nashville, Tenn. He deserves capital punishment.

Thomas A. R. Nelson. The Nashville (Tenn.) Union, of the 7th inst., has the following editorial in reference to the arrest of this individual: Information often au hectic character reached this city yesterday, that Thomas A R Nelson, of Washington county, was arrested in Lee county, Virginia, on the afternoon of the 4th inst. He was taken to Cumberland Gap and thence sent to Abingdon, Va., under an escort of sixty men. Nelson was supposed to be making his way to Washington City, for the purpose of claiming a seat in the Federal Congress, which has waged and is now prosecuting a war the protection that vultures give to lambs. Such has undoubtedly been the atrocious aim of Nelson and the other conspirators against the peace and unity of the State. They have courted the pena the proud freemen of the South, to confiscate our estates and doom us to a felons death. Not Mr Nelson, and all like him, would consult their own safety by a graceful acquiescence in the will of th

Nelson, says: Maps containing a careful and accurate delineation of all the mountain passes in East Tennessee, from Chattanooga to Bristol, were found in his possession. This is no sensation item; it is now known to be true. Had he succeeded in passing through Virginia and reaching Washington, the authorities there would have been put in possession of a full and accurate statement of our strong and weak points in East Tennessee, and every mountain pass in the Cumberland range would have become known to Scott and the Federal army. His arrest does seem like a timely interposition of Divine Providence, as it may yet save East Tennessee from being drench

Mr. Nelson's Address to the people of Rast Tennessee. We find in Brownlow's Knoxville Whig an elaborates card "to the people of East Tennessee," by Mr. T. A. R. Nelson, in compliance with his promise to President Davis.--The Knoxville Register says, "it seems to us to be modeled after the style of Mark Anthony's speech in Shae Confederacy or the State of Tennessee; and I ask that they also be discharged from custody by your Excellency. Very respectfully,Your obedient servant, Thos. A. R. Nelson. To which the following answer was returned: Richmond, Aug. 13th, 1861. Sir: I have received your letter of 12th instant, in which you ask to of action which is disavowed in Gen. Polk's letter, I think I can safely say, without arrogance, that from the course which was adopted-towards me, they would risk nothing by returning to the State and submitting to a result which they have in vain endeavored to prevent.
