THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. CO VFEDKRATE STATES OF -AMERICA. WILMINGTON N. C., THUB8DAY, FEB. 9, 18G4. IUE BETU11N Or OCIl COMMISSIOMKRS. FAIL )UUE OF NEGOTIATIONS. It will be seen that car commissioner! returned last Saturday .night from Fortress Monroe, after haying had on interview with Lincoln and Seward. A3 our readers art aware, we wera never sanguine of any rcsulta. likely to follow this attempt at negotiation, end therefore are not disappointed at its failure ; still we hoped that something might come of it that some raj of light might be let in, but apparently not a glean has been vouchsafed us. If any of cur readers have allowed themselves to b deceived by false hopes, they cannot hold u responsible as parties to their deception, for we have dene all we could to guard them against it. "Well, negotiation has been fairly tried, and we see how it has resulted. If oar people are descrying of freedom they wilTdl now move together to work it out: If they are the people we take them for they will rise up stronger and more determined than ever. Instead of yielding to despondency they will take fresh courage, summon up fresh resolution, and our word for it all things will.come out right before the year is over, and no thanks to Lincoln. The causes -are ii operation that will work this out. Remember this : Hereafter the 'ehriekers for nego tiation, peace, etc., are simply counsellors of peace on -LilCCUiiiB icruis, nuu iuccq wo ivr prumaiucu w uo submission, abolition, confiscation, subjugation and degradation. They now know what negotiation with Lincoln means, and cannot say that it has not been tried fairly tried and under auspices inpposeJ to be favourable. There is but thing for it now, firmness and constancy. Nothing else will win but theee will. The peace they oSar is that we surrender at discretion their discre tion 1 . Our soldiers Bay no ! to this proposition our honor forbids it all our fcopeB for the future plead against it It cannot and will not be done. There ia even now a re aetion from the deep despondency of the last few months. There ia a re-action of the public courage there is an uprising cf the public spirit. Oar very misfortunes will prove the cause cf our solvation our very disapp iotrn nts will result in the firmer establish ment of our independence and pro.-ptrity. Daily Journal. Cth. A coiemporary remarks that France is richer in a nava! end military poiot of view, and poorer in a fi niujcial oac" than &hc has been perhaps during the pres ent century. Thfc may well be so. Her army is nu merous, splendidly equipped, highly disciplined, ably commanded und thoroughly devoted- Her navy ia new, built on the beat and most scientific principles, is well crmed and well manned. Her voice in Europe is poten tial, but her recent glories have been costly and have brought no material compensation for the vast txpfeiiBe incurred io winning them. Algeria is an oc casion or outlay instead of being a 60urce of profit. The Crimea yielded laurels, but nothing ele, save debt; a::d although the Itr-iian war added Savoy and Nice to thoEmpire.it did-nothing to fill the treasury its ex penses had depleted, for Savoy and Nice are poor little countries. Mexico, with its mineral riches, held out a glittering prize to the ambition of the French ruler. It prom ised what his people wanted and longed for-wealth. Louis Napoleon put Masimillian on a sort of throne batched r.p for him in that country, and by way of in demnity for the expenses incurred in setting Hp his pup pet, he ia to receive certain provinces of Northern Mexico, notably Sonora, which said State of Sonora lies uiroctly South cf California, and is said to be rich in gold ond silver. Sonora, however, is not the only territory that the French will claim, cr in which French intlaeuccs will predominate. These influences will come la contact with the United States, along the whole border cr boundary between that power and Mexico. If opposition is made to hi3 possession of Sonora he will have an exouse, of which Lewill not be slew U avail himself, of seizing upon California, and with Mex ico acd her ports for a base, he wiil find little difficulty In doing so. We ieully think that that grave, silent, inscrutabte man already contemplates that seizure, and when perfectly reidy will fiad his own time and . his own occasion for doing eo. Us will know how to make the ruptnre that will giva him the excuse, if not the justi fication, for hia acta. Where there is a will there is a way. We think these things look qaitc favorable for a jup ture between Louis Napoleon and the Lincoln govern ment. That rupture will neither be retarded ncr ac celerated by any considerations of oar interests ci wiehc-e. The cool acd a3tutc " Nephew of his Uncle " will simply consider us as elements in his calculations for the promotion of hia own plans. We need, not eare mere lcr him. His plans and oura may ca. inolde, ond we think they will. A fresh antago nist to the United States cannot bat relieve us from icme of the pressure under which we now labor. Our independence or antagenism to the United States cannot but ba favourable to Louis Napoleon's plans, by distracting the attention of the only power likely to oppose cbstacka totkBir accomplishment. Wb do not hear anything f the enemy having reach ed Branchville, ncr Laving struck the South Caroliaa Railroad at any point, and we do tot believe that he has done so. We are also inclined to rely upon infor mation going to show that he will not be permitted to pursue his 'march through South Carolina with the same eese and impunity that he did through Georgia. We Lave heard of dispositions and movements which it eeenic to us will result in bringing Sherman's move ments to a halt. We need not specify what these move ments are, bat cf coutse they comprise in their opera tions something more than militia. Tub members of our Legislature sent on to Rich mond to obtain information of affiirs, expected to reach Raleigh oa their return on Friday last. This, it is poe eible they may not have done, but we suppose they have got there by this time at farthest, so that we may hope to get eomo ir,k!in of the-ir important informa tion before the week is out.

Wjb learn that the firin ywterday forenoon was - w - J IVilUVMU "TOO from the CMray'? fleet outside against our lines at Su gar Loaf. We have heard of no casualties and trust that there were none Tiis firing, of whicu the reports have been heard to day, has been at cur lines at Sugar Loaf, and from the enemy's fleet at sea. No demonstration made at Fort Anderson. A report prevailed this forenoon that the enemy had struck the South Carolina railroad at Bamburg, the second station West of Branchville, It ay be so, but we have no confirmation of it. Wk learn that on yesterday afternoon, Mr. Young, of the Signal Corps, captured three Yankee soldiers at or within the Yankee lines near SmithviUe ; they re port negro troopB landing at Fort Fisher. Iris remarkable that of all the armies of the Con federacy, that under the immediate command of Gener al Lee, alone seems to keep its raaks full, and ta be in a great measure free from desertion. It is said, upon pretty good authority, teat the army of Northern Vir ginia is now about as strong, namerie&lly, as it was when the campaign commenced in May last, although detachment have been seat from it toother points. In Virginia and North Carolina the order revoking details has ) een rigidly enforced and the enrolling offi cers are pretty vigilant in picking up etragglers or ab. sentees from their commands. This does not appear to be the case in the far South and Southwest. Desertion and absenteeism are awfully prevalent, if we are to be lieve half of what we read and hear about the s'tate of things in the department now supposed to be under the supervision of General Beauregard. Forces melt away without any fair aecount of their disappearance being possible. We are not eo certain that President Davis was fir wrong in his Maeon speech, when he said that two-thirda of the army of Tennessee was at home. X large portion of it certainly was, and we suppose stiU ia. A, Charleston paper says that tbare is a eommaid in that department with between twenty and thirty thousand names 'still borne oa i master rolls, and not over seven thousand men present ia its ranks. It if surely useless to talk about turning post commissaries and quartermasters iato the ranks, and even armisg the colored population, when thote actually in' the army are to so great an extent absent from its ranks. If we cannot keep these we already have, how can we expeot There must be a great laxity somewhere. Sarely if the eaemy can k p their hired invaders from deserting, we ought to be able to retain with our standards these citizen soldiers who must feel that they are Ighting to preserve all that is or ought tc be dear to freemen. The Confederate Congress ought to do oae thing that it appears to have too olten and too leng neglect ed. It ought to see that the soldiers are promptly paid. Their pittance is little enough, in a l conscience, but whatever it is, they want it, and ought to have it . It would encourage them by showing that the country is trying to do what it cen for tfcem. The neglect to pay the soldiers promptly has a bad effect. We rj&ay fairly assume that some part, at least ?f the desertions whieh take place can be traced to that. cause. DKATU OF GKNKKAL J. II.

A number of wooden boats are also in the river above Fort Fiaber. The enemy have a garrison at Smithville of about fdur hundred man. Ictecntflary Attempt. We learn -that on last Saturday night between 10 and 11 o'clock fire was discovered in a hcuae on fifth street, next door to the Dry-Pond Methodist Church, the house being the property of Mr. Bcasley. The cir cumstances were sueb as to leave bo doubt ef the in cendiary cbaraeter of the fire It was fortunately dis covered in time to prevent its doing much damage. Shortly after the Union School House in the same neighborhood was found to have been set on fire, bat was promptly put out by the Town Police. It is also said that an attempt was made to fire. the Ciureb. Now is indeed the winter of .oar discontent and des pondency, and yet we are not half as discontented or despondences the men of the first Revolution we're when the war had progressed for four years ; nor-have we as much reason. We can -see and appreciate our own troubles because they are present and immediate, but we more than half forget these through which the revoltgd colonists passed ; at any rate we do not fully appreciate them. Oae difficulty is removed out of oar path. The olamorers for peace, who based their opposition to the Confederate Gevernment upon the ground that proper efforts had not been made to secure peace that nego tiations had not been tried, Lave now nothing to stand on have no basis of action save submission surrender at discretion A 11 true men at the - South mast here after be a unit.

From the Bichmond l3iHputcn. wovienvoK footk. The Philadelphia Inquirer and other Federal juratils give our friend, Gov rnor Foote, an indifferent welcome. The intention which be ennounofcd in Congress of " teeking some geqaester;-d spot where there is no tax ation," is treated by th Icquirtr with irreverent tevi ty. Ctrtaiuly that poc is not in tbe United States. Perhaps Mr. Foot iid sjqasstraiej. not, sequestered. In that event, Jouatuaa ia the vry man for his money. - -We think if Mr. Focte expressed acy desire ia Con gress to 0 to the United StateB, it must have been to be sequ ti trated. That country eflords greater faeilities for such an object th-xn any other land under the gun. Confederate emigraa who wi3b to be disposed ol in tbat way have only to call at the captain's cflica and settle. Mr. Foot?, we believe, lias considerable prop erty ia the United states, which bo may be disposed to look after, aud Mr. Lincoln -will help him to do it. Tha Inquirer, however, does not see the point. It thinks that Mr. Foota only desires to be sequtstrated, and re commends the " Old Capitol Prison." If this reeTaimendation is carried out, Mr. Foote, late of the Con federate capitol, will have made a pocr exchiiuge. We hope th'ty will let the old gentleman pass. He haa been a pood enough Confederate, it i3 true, aad abuss of Jtff. Davis does not atcte for that crime in Yankee eyes. But he is 4i an old man, my lord a Ttry old Bian." He does not want to be Be qatstretcd, whatever be may . say. Solitary "eonuue ment would kill him ; or, if shut up with other prison ei 3, he would talk them to deaf ia "less than twenty four hours. Tbe xka of one Yankee jouruel, that he is to a tour through New Eogland aad hold sweet converse wita its inhabitants, -would be more Humane to Lim and merciful to mankind. All the old women in that country would die of vexa tion from not being able te get a word in. The Ataeti can clowa. who boasts that he can talk so fast that it takes echo six months to repeat hira, was slew of speeoh compared with Foote. On the whole, tet uj hope that Mr. Pc-ote will go to England. The United States is no place fot emigrating Conlederates. He wi'u find a good many heart-broken ex'les in Great Britain who will like to tear tha news from their dear couatry. He can gi e Chem the very latest advices, especially upon oae point, which vitaally touches their seneitiva aaturaa whether eequesteriKg in E; gland means sequestratioa in the Confederacy. BU1I.IANT HBPAUTKKS. The dexterous leap of thought, hj wkiclj the mind escapes front a seemingly hopeless diUsaca,ia worth all the vfstrnanta of disrmtv which tbe world holds. It wus this reudinees iu repattces which eoatianally save Voltaire from social overturn. He once praised anoth er writer very heartily to a third person. 4i It ia very straDge," was the reply, " that yea speak so well 0 him, tor be says t;iat you are a charlatan. "U ! re plied Voltaire, " I think it Ttry likely tbat both of us may be Mistaken." Agan.you must air hav(, heard the anecdote of the youog gentleman, wbo was discour sing very dogmatically a bent the appropriate sphete 0 woman. " And pray sir," screamed an old lady, 'hat is the appropriate sphere of woman ? ' "A oeles'ia sphere, madam V .Robert Hall did not lose his power ot retort even in-m dne6s. A bypeeritical condeler with hia mislortunts oec vieited him in tbe madhouse and said ia a whiniDg toue, " What brought you her? Mr. Hall V Hall signifienntly touched his brow witu bia finger, and replied, " Wbat'll never bring you sir too much brains." A rap;d change from enthusiasm to nonchalance ia onen necessary in society. Thus, a per son once eloquently eulogizing the angelic qualities 0 Joan ci Ate, waa suddenly met by tne petulant ques tion, " What waskJ oan of Arc made of ?" " Sho was Maid of Orleans." Sheridan never waa without a reason, never failed to extricate himself in an emergency by bis wit. At a country house, where be was once on a visit; au elderly maiden lady desired to' be bis companion in a walk. He excised himself at first on the ground ef the bad ness of tbe weather. She eoon afterwards, however, 4nterrupted him in an attempt to escape Without her. " Well," eha said, " it has cleared up, J see," " Why, yes," he answered, " it bas cleared up enough for one, but not enough for two." Jt waa thia readiness which made John Randolph so terrible in retort. He was tbe Theaire of Congress, a tongus etabbsr. N hyperbole of eontampt or scorn could be launched against hira, but he could overtop it with something more scornful and contemptous. Opposition only maddened him into brilliant b ttemess. " Isn't it a shame, Mr. President, said be one day in the Senate, " tbat the noble bull dogs of thj administration should be wasting their pre eious time in worrying the rata of the opposition? immediately tne senate waa in an uproar, and ne was clamoreu9.y called to order. The 'presiding effiser, however, sustained him; and pointing bis longr skinny fingers at his opponents, Iiandolph screamed out, "Kits did I say r mice, mice.'"

The first landlord, alarmed at the increasing pop- j ularity eif his rival, aEd underutaoding the cause, wrote under t'ae griaa visage cf his majesty : "This is the real Ass." Bat a more ludicrous incident cf the kind is just told at tha expense of the good bishop of L'.andaff. He took up his abode near the head of lake Windermere, where the priccipal ian waa know 1 as the cock : but the landlord by way of compliment to his distinguished nighbor, substituted the Bi'shop as tbn new fcign. An innkeeper close by, who had frequently envied minehoat of tha ccck fr bis good fortune in secr.ring a considerable preponderance f visitors, took advan tage of tbe change, and attracted many travelers to hia heme by putting .up t-ae sign ef tno coek. The landlord with the new sign waa much discomfited at seeing many ot his old customers deposited at his rival's establisemeht : so by way "of remedy, he put up, in large, red letters, uuder tbe portrait of tj bishop :"Tbis ia the old cock." . - Speaking of Sherman's prcjscted march ihroogh South and North Carolina for the purpose of uniting with Gea. Grant, and the hope entertained by maDy that the bad weather will impede bis advance, tbe Richmond Hitpitch eays it haa no great faith in sao allies as w'md and wt&ther. They have proved tifi. erous too often since ths commencement ol this "af. Besides, we reai that in the campaign of Ja jnary and February, 1781, between Cornwallis and 'jrreae-over this same ground the rains and the water did by no means, put an end to muitaru evolutions. Corn wallia pursued Gnene, and Greece retired before him, with the moat unremitting vigilance and tbe most un tiring activity, aunougn u was raioicg incessantly nearly the whole time, and the waters were every wbtre up, for several wfeka, from the borders of South Caro lina iato Virginia. We rather hope that military means will be found to hold Sherman in eheti;,and te protect the country aad delay bia advance as auch as possible. Bctlhr Baxisued.
