erview with the Adjutant-General: war Department, Adjutant-General's office, Washington, May 22, 1879. John Howard, Esq., Attorney at Law, Richmond, Va.. sir,—Referring to your inquiry of the 21st instant, I have respectfully to inform you that no record can be found in this office of any orders issued by the Government of the United States directing commanders in the field to seize tobacco belonging to adherents of the Confederacy. It appears, however, of record that on the 4th of March, 1865, General Grant directed Colonel S. H. Roberts, commanding a brigade of the Twenty-fourth army corps, to proceed with his brigade to the vicinity of Fredericksburg, Va., for the purpose of seizing or destroying wherever found all property being used in barter for unauthorized articles of trade between the rebels and Northern cities, and to break up the contraband trade carried on between Fredericksburg and Richmond. Under these instructions, Colonel Roberts captured and destroyed a l

much like a flag of truce, and did not show at sea, so the story went, and consequently on March 4, 1865, just twenty-eight days before the death of the Confederacy, Congress passed another act, ad to be right as any man I know, but there is confusion here. The flag was not adopted until March 4, 1865, and he saw it several months before. I explain this by thinking the design for the new fla have yet to see a man who saw such a flag, or saw any man who saw a man who saw one. After March 4, 1865, we were not making flags. Please print the acts of Congress establishing the flags. The leral Johnson's request by printing the Act of May 1, 1863, and the amendment thereto, passed March 4, 1865: An act to establish the flag of the Confederate States: The Congress of the Confederato be a red bar extending the width of the flag.

Mr. Bouldin moved, as a further amendment to Mr. Scott's amendment, to strike out the word "concurring," in the last line but one, proposing, if agreed to, to follow it up by another amendment. Debated by Messrs. Bouldin and Scott of Fauquier, and agreed to — yeas 70, nays 61. Mr. Bouldin then moved to farther amend by inserting after the word "States" in the same line, the words "who concur in the amendments to the Federal Constitution proposed by this Convention." Agreed to. Mr. Carlile, of Harrison, moved to further amend Mr. Scott's amendment by striking out the words "time appointed for the re-assembling of this body," and inserting "the 4th day of March, 1865." Mr.Carlile spoke in favor of his amendment until the hour for recess arrived.

has gone, and Congress most act like men if they would be prepared for the great campaigns, through which our Generals and soldiers must inevitably pass during the coming spring, summer, and fall. We shall either elect or defeat Lincoln by the results of this year's campaign; and if we succeed in securing his defeat, then we may reasonably, I think, expect a cessation of hostilities in an armistice by land and by sea as soon as the new Administration shall come into power on the 4th of March, 1865, now slightly over a year distant. I can only speak for the brave men whose names are on the muster rolls in this army, and who are always at their posts to respond at the roll call.--They will do their duty, and their whole duty, as they have so often discharged it in camp, on the march, and on the battle-field. But what says Congress and the country as to its reinforcement and its proper maintenance. These are now the pertinent and all absorbing questions. If this army can get ba

. Besides all this, he is a man of large military experience, and knows far better than Lincoln how to handle the immense forces placed at the command of a President of the United States. We are gratified, then, at the escape we think we have made. It might have been infinitely worse. We are, indeed, confident that it would have been. We now are pretty sure of what we have to expect. Not only is Abraham Lincoln President of the United States for the next four years after the 4th of March, 1865, but he goes in with a majority large enough to sustain him in any atrocity he may meditate. The majority of the North have pretty clearly declared themselves well pleased with the war and with the manner of conducting it. They endorse all the atrocities of Sherman, all the cruelties of Hunter, all the crimes of Sheridan, all the murders of Butler, all the butchery and barbarism of Grant. The conflagrations of our towns and villages, the deportation of our women and children, the sta

The cards for Lincoln's Inauguration Ball. --The Washington papers publish a description of the cards of admission to the inauguration ball, to take place in Washington on the 5th proximo. The olive branch, it seems, has been omitted from Lincoln's Administration in order that it may figure prominently in his ball cards: "The caption consists of the words: 'National Inauguration Ball, March 4, 1865.'Beneath this are medallions interlaced (pinned together with a staff surmounted with a liberty cap) and edged with olive branches. Upon one of the medallions is an excellent portraiture of the President, and upon the other that of the Vice-President elect, inscribed at the bottom of each respectively with the name of their office; and beneath the medallions is a scroll, entwined about the staff, upon which are inscribed the names of Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. In the centre of the card below is the blank form of invitation, and the list of managers subscribed thereto.

ity four years ago, Mr. Lincoln, in his Inaugural Address, had proclaimed the sentiment, recommended by General Scott, "Wayward sisters, depart in peace," the old Union would long ere this, without the expenditure of a dollar of treasure or a drop of blood, have recovered its integrity. The second inauguration would have witnessed a re-united and happy people, with more substantial evidences of strength and prosperity than the pop-crackers, sky-rockets and illuminations which, on the 4th of March, 1865, will blaze over a Republic's sepulchre. We speak, of course, on the theory that it was the object of Mr. Lincoln's advisers in 1861 to secure the preservation of "the Union." If this was not their object; if they sought to subvert the old Government in everything but name; to make it a consolidated empire, from which the American Constitution and the sovereignty of the States should alike disappear; to overthrow State institutions and civil liberty; they adopted the means most s
