"the secret"

--The Charleston Mercury is informed, on undoubted authority, that Mon Merci visited Richmond for the purpose ascertaining the truth in regard to the Yankee promise to conquer the Confederate States in sixty days. The Mercury learns that he is pretty well satisfied of the absurdity of Yankee expectations, and of the ability of the Confederate States to maintain themselves.--His visit was made at the suggestion of Mr. Slidell.

We had heard nothing of this previously.
