From Wilmington — particulars of the seizure of the Alexandra. [ of the Richmond Dispatch.] Wilmington, North Carolina, January 5, 1865. Senates report that the Federal fleet and land forces, after proceeding from Fort Fisher to Beaufort, have gone eastward, doubtless to Hampton Roads, and possibly to take part in the next movement Richmond. It was the town in Newbern, on the first and second this month, that the enemy lost and fifteen disabled in the late and bombardment, and that all the horses, field artillery and ammu etc, had to be thrown This may be an exaggerate but there is no reason to doubt that of material by the enemy was considerable. You have already been advised, by telegraph, of the seizure of the steamship by the British authorities at The following particulars of have been communicated to me by an officer who was in Nassau at the time of the seizure and subsequently went on board the Alexandra to inspect her at and fillings for himself.

We received last night Northern papers of the 23d instant. From Wilmington--five blockade vessels captured. Fort Monroe, January 20. --The frigates Minnesota, Wabash, Colorado, and a greater portion of the larger vessels of Admiral Porter's fleet, recently operating against Fort Fisher, North Carolina, have returned, and are now anchored in Hampton Roads. The steamer General Lyons arrived here this afternoon with five hundred men of the Tenth North Carolina regiment, captured in Fort Fisher, who are to be sent to Fort Delaware. On the evening of the 18th instant, Colonel Abbott, commanding a brigade of troops, started out from Fort Fisher on the way to Wilmington, North Carolina. A general forward movement of our troops against the town was actively engaged in reconnoitering along the banks of the Cape Fear river, and in sounding for torpedoes and removing obstructions to the free navigation of the river.

n, and of which we are building quite a number. My experience has been with the Monadnock, Saugus, Mahopac and Canonicus, all vessels of some difference of construction, and built, I believe, by different contractors. Before leaving Hampton Roads, and while waiting for the army to provide troops for the land part of this expedition, I sent the monitors Canonicus, Mahopac and Saugus up the James river to try what they could do with the rebel batteries at Howlett's and above that point. outside to in. The turret was not materially injured, and was repaired again in about two weeks, and I have been using the Saugus here, against these works, where she has done effective service. The Canonicus, Mahopac and Monadnock left Hampton Roads on the 13th ultimo, the former two in tow of steamers, the Monadnock going under steam, with a steamer in company. The weather was quite rough, and at times the sea would go over the turrets and down the funnels; but I passed them while at s

but put back on it being seen that the rest of the feet could not follow her. On the high the Virginia was got afloat, and the feet returned to its anchorage off Graveyard bend. Besides the Drewry, the Virginia alone received any injury. The casing near one of her port holes was somewhat stove in. Our casualties were five killed and fourteen wounded. We have received authentic information that, on Thursday last, a fleet of vessels — men of war, gunboats and transports — came into Hampton Roads.--This is supposed to be the fleet which recently operated so successfully against Fort Fisher. The report that the Tallahassee had been captured while attempting to run into the Cape Fear river is discredited by the War Department. An official dispatch from General Hardee, dated on the 24th, says there are no movements being made by the enemy on either side of the Savannah river.--That is, that Sherman was not demonstrating against either Augusta or Branchville; but, on Wednesd

United States. [Signed] "Jefferson Davis. "Executive Office, Richmond, 6th of February 1865." "Richmond, Va., February 5th, 1865. "To the President of the Confederate States: "Sir: Under your letter of appointment of the 28th ultimo, we proceeded to seek an 'informal conference' with Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, upon the subject mentioned in the letter. The conference was granted, and took place on the 30th instant, on board of a steamer anchored in Hampton Roads, where we met President Lincoln and the Hon. Mr. Seward, Secretary of State of the United-States. It continued for several hours, and was both full and explicit. "We learned from them that the message of President Lincoln to the Congress of the United States, in December last, explains clearly and distinctly his sentiments as to the terms, conditions, and method of proceeding, by which peace can be secured to the people, and we were not informed that they would be modified or alter

We have received Northern papers of Monday, the 7th, and that evening. The gold gamblers in New York were the first to find out that there was to be no peace; and gold jumped from 204 to 213 3-8. The "peace" conference in Hampton Roads — the conversation between the parties — the Yankee press in a Fog about the results. No official report has been made by Lincoln and Seward, who returned to Washington on Saturday, of the results of their mission to Hampton Roads, though Lincoln Hampton Roads, though Lincoln was to send in a message to Congress on Tuesday, giving an account of it. A Washington dispatch to the New York Tribune gives the following account of the interview: The conference opened, as we intimated on Thursday that it would open, with reminiscences of the old Washington life and inquiries after common friends and acquaintances. Stephens was worn, and had a look of anxiety and weariness.--This justly should be imputed to the disease which unceasingly saps and wastes the vitality of

of the auguries of the ancients and of the signs of the times. I know that these signs will be revealed in favor of our country; I know that the tide of patriotism is running through the length of the Confederacy, and that that message from Hampton Roads, when it reached our telegraph lines, went like a shock from the centre to the circumference, and every man sprung to his feet, vowing to do or die rather than submit. [Cheers.] The fires of 1861 I feel burning brightly in my heart. The firht, (To the Chairman — Didn't you ?) to Washington. [Great laughter.] We had already heard on the streets of the fine dinners Stephens, Hunter and Campbell were getting in Washington, when, lo and behold, it turned out that they had stuck in Hampton Roads. As they were on their way, the whole Yankee nation rose to meet them. They sent their King from his throne, and their Prime Minister from his closet. The King came to greet his friends, [turning to the chairman, Mr. Hunter,] of whom, I su

ces, were fully able to repel any attack he might conclude to make upon us. At daylight this morning everything was quiet, and it was not known whether our troops were expected to push the reconnaissance further, to erect substantial works connecting with the left of our main line, or to return to their original positions in the vicinity of the Weldon railroad. The Late peace mission. Lincoln was to send in his report on Wednesday to the United States Senate of his visit to Hampton Roads. Seward is said to have already prepared reports of the interview, to be dispatched to the foreign courts. A letter about the return of the Confederate commissioners says that, on the flag-of-truce boat, they were hospitably entertained, and were visited by Major-General Ord. It adds: The commissioners, upon their return, were in the best of spirits, and entered fully and zestfully into the genuine and luxurious hospitality of the distinguished Union officer delegated by the Presi

Still later from the North. We have received copies of New York papers of the 10th. Gold was quoted at 210 3-4. The Reception of the result of the Hampton Roads mission. The New York papers publish in full the proceedings of the meeting at the African Church on Monday night last and the comments of the Richmond press on the result of the peace mission. The New York Times says: The resolutions passed at the meeting were of like desperate character with Davis's speech, and somond papers of late dates.--What they think, or affect to think, or think proper to say about peace, the reader will learn who takes the trouble to go through these various extracts.--What their editors really know of the recent conference in Hampton Roads may be seen in the message of Jeff. Davis to the rebel Congress and the report of the commissioners themselves. If the object was to conceal the details of that conference, they have succeeded perfectly. If the commissioners merely went the
