He is a careful student, but so very careful that no trace of study is perceptible as he dashes along in a flow of facts, arguments and language that to common minds is almost bewildering.

From Washington. Washington,Feb. 10. --The committee appointed by the Peace Conference will probably make their report Tuesday. Various plans are before them. From what has privately transpired, the Border States' resolutions meet with much favor.

This subject is to be left for the decision of the people when they form their State Government. The acquisition of future Territory is not to be so easily consummated as heretofore. Some members of the Montgomery Congress have just advised their secession friends here that Ministers have been selected to represent the interests of the Southern Confederacy in Europe.

Mr. Collier said the Governor had taken upon himself the responsibility of not enforcing the ordinance for three weeks past, and he thought he might continue so to do with equal propriety. The House was too slim to justify action on the bill at present. Mr. Jones urged the importance of immediate action on the bill.
