extensive scale, it created a stronger impression on my mind, and led to the error above alluded to, and which, however unimportant, I desire to correct. Jefferson Davis. Montgomery, May 8, 1861. Washington, City, April 13, 1861. Sir: On the 15th March, ult., I left with Judge Crawford, one of the Commissionerhe pledge to evacuate Fort Sumter is less forcible than the words you employed. Those words were: "Before this letter reaches you (a proposed letter by me to President Davis), Sumter will have been evacuated." The Commissioners who received those communications conclude they have been abused and overreached. The Montgomery Ghat I could make to avert the calamities of war. The Assistant Secretary promised to give the matter attention, but I had no other intercourse with him or any other person on the subject, nor have I had any reply to the letters submitted to you. John A. Campbell. Very respectfully, Gen. Davis, Pres't of the Conf'rate States.

ttee of conference reported an amendment to Mr. Wallis' resolution that the Legislature adjourn on Thursday at 11 o'clock, until June 4th; also to appoint a committee of four from each House to lay said resolutions before President Lincoln and Jeff. Davis, and ask a cessation of hostilities until after the assembling of Congress. The Senate adopted Mr. Wallis' resolution with the above amendments, but the House at the evening session refused to adopt the conference committee's report — yeaoned. In the House of Delegates, Mr. Wallis reported a bill calling a Sovereign Convention, which was laid on the table. The joint resolution from the Senate appointing a committee of four from each House to visit President Lincoln and Jefferson Davis, and the Governors of Pennsylvania and Virginia, was reported upon unfavorably by Mr. Willis, chairman of the Committee on Federal Relations, giving certain reasons therefore. The report was adopted. They also report that the invasion

, as general as the enthusiasm of the North. Something like a levy in mass may be expected among the population of the South, who are easily made into soldiers, and who, from the skill with the rifle, must always be formidable antagonists. President Davis, who fought at the head of the Mississippi volunteers in Mexico, will probably take the command. He was, we believe, originally educated for the army, though he subsequently abandoned the military calling for law and politics. The points ato all that is reported by telegraph, there is evidence enough to show that a large body of the people in Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri will take up arms in defence of the Confederate States.

Northern Civilisation We take the following choice specimens from the Boston Traveller: "$5,000 reward for the Head of Jeff. Davis. "$3,000 for the Head of Gen Beauregard. "$3,000 for the Head of the traitor, Lieut. Maury. "Lieut. Maury's Treachery.--A Washington letter says evidences of Lieut. Maury's treachery are daily apparent. The meanest of them yet discovered is, that he removed buoys from Kettle Bottom Shoals, leaving the Administration to find it out as best they could. The same writer says Maury will not be allowed to resign but that his leaving as he did will be considered an actual desertion of a post of duty.
