ll suited; hence, I went over to see General Lee, and suggested to him the propriety of obstructing the river, and the establishment of a fort at some selected point, and let me take my command down there for service, for which they were well suited. To all of which he readily agreed, in view of the fact which was clearly foreshadowed that Norfolk would soon be evacuated, and the river open to a raid upon the Confederate capital by the Federal gunboats. The following day, accompanied by Major Rives and Lieutenant Mason, of the engineers department, we went down the river to select a suitable position. Upon reaching Howlett's, which is at the head of the Horse Shoe, forming Dutch Gap, we concluded that was the best place, both on account of its great elevation, and the more even depth of the river at that point, with an abundance of timber on either bank for the obstructions; soon, however, upon the examination of some charts of the river, which we had with us, it was seen that the

suspension of hostilities for a few days would lead to peace. We have captured Gen. Lee's letter. The letter referred to, I learned, was a letter of Gen. Lee, dated 8th March, ‘65, and related to the military situation at the date and presented a gloomy picture of affairs. It was addressed to Gen. Breckinridge. On the 6th March, I had written a very full letter to Gen. Breckinridge on the situation of affairs. It was the last of several efforts to promote a negotiation for peace. Mr. Rives and Gen. Lee had conversed upon an unfinished draft of it before it was handed to Gen. B. This letter as delivered advised a call for a report from Gen. Lee and a reference of the matter to Congress. This letter of Gen. Lee was the report required in that suggestion. I was familiar with its contents, I felt at liberty to speak more freely and in more detail upon the subject of Gen. Lee's condition than before and had I renewed the expression of the opinion in which Gen. W. concurred,

brough will urge the Virginia Convention to reject the proposition, and Messrs. Rivers and Summers will recommend its approval. The majority of the delegations of Maryland, Kentucky and Tennessee stand by the report of the committee. The Washington States, of Saturday, says: Mr. Seddon, the Virginia member of the committee, voted against Mr. Guthrie's plan every time. He will present a report, which, it is said, will be signed by Ex-President Tyler and Judge Brockenbrough. Mr. Rives holds separate views. Such are the rumors which reach us. The strong Union men say that the unwise speeches of Mr. Lincoln robsen, in the eyes of the Convention, of all power to meet the other side with peace advances. The Committee of the Peace Congress dined with the President of the United States yesterday at the Executive mansion.

declared against its passage during the present session. A new Congress will be called as soon as possible — say the 1st of June--and by that time Abe expects to have mastered the subject by arduous study. It is reported here that the Seward-Douglas Union party in Virginia intends to replace all our present Congressmen, with the exception of Messrs. Leake, Garnett, and Pryor. This same Union party is actively at work in the Peace Congress. The aim is to give something to satisfy Messrs. Rives and Summers, paying no regard to the views of our other Commissioners. Southern-Rights men are in a hopeless minority in the Congress.--The Tennessee delegation has let flat down. The Missouri men are a unit, and stand up pretty well for the South. So likewise a few Kentuckian, and two of the North Carolina Commissioners. At Charleston everything is in readiness for the assault on Sumter, and has been so for two weeks.
