ontradictorv Itcports of the Ob
ject of tlio VijRit to IticJinioiid.
From the Rlchmcnd -Dispatcn, M"arch 1.
It has b.-eii aunouneed by the Yankee press,
nd the announcement has been published by
js, that Geil. Singleton and Judge Hugh.es had
obtained passports ironr Mr. Lincoln to visit
Richmond, The Yankee papers said.the objeqt
of teir mission was to convince the Rebels" of
the hopelessnQ-s of further resistance, j Tyi
at Varina on Jlonday, but the freshet
in the river, by preventing the rnnningrt ilr
boats? has delayed their arrival in Richmond.
These visits of prth em? gentry are always
covered with sujh a cloud of mystery by our
officials that it is. impossible to learn any th big
positively about theni ; .and we are left gener
ally to conjecture as to their objects. We heard
on yesterday a report aout ; the ISingleton-i
Hughes visit that, coming as it did from a
trustworthy sour.ee, surprised us not a little.
It is said that the object of these gentlemen's
visit is purely commercial, their business being
nothing more norjts, than to make arrange
ments for .buy ins cotton and tobacco for their
Government and selling to our Government
beef and bacon. Jt iai a queer story ; we give
It as we hear it. j j J
From the Richmond Enquirer, March J.J
It is stated by one of our city papers that
lr. Singleton returns' to Riehmond upon com
mercial, ;not pacific purposes, and that cotton,
t peace, is what Mrj Sing!eton is really after.
It w.ould be well, therefore, to drop all refer
mce to this gentleman a a peace inan and
uereafter recognize him as the cotton commis
sioner, or so-called peace messenger, Trading
'cottoufor bacon is a business that requires no
mystery, and if Mr. Lincoln desires, cotton and
tobaccor and is willing to exchange for them
provisions at proper price?i Vy not send his
bacon minister here openly and avow his pur
pose to drive trade even amid the din of war ?
The spectacle of two nations fighting and trad
ing at one and the same time, is novel, and. Eu
rope must agaiq recofcnize the jrjeat step made
by this eouutry in war trade as well as in war
implements. If the United States has outstrip
ped the world iirironhips, bij guns, great ar
mies; and huge debtsi it nas aBO taken the first
.tpn trtwird a biff trade with its enemy; Hav-
.ng blockaded all the! ports and effectually shut j
o'ir oninion of then-normal cqnditian or ot their
true interest, we cannot expeet taem u uxuy k
main Avith u? to perform deeds of; heroic valor
when they ate fighting to continue the enslave
meat oflielr, wives and children . It if notxea
sonablc' fOr3 demand "it of '1 them', 'and" we
have liule HU"5P e:Pect the blessing of Hea
veirbp& ouT-fmrt 'if we!compel them to per
form ""such a task. , . j
Tf Wh are liricht, and Providence designed
Uhem1 for' aUyery. He did not intend that they
shgullbe a txutary people. v nenever we es
tablisli thcjctha;t they are a military race,
we destroy our whole theory that they are un
fit to faTree. , . '' . t ,
But it is said we should give them their free;
dom in case of their fidelity, to our cause in the
tieldtt in otheiT w Ords, that we should give up
slaveiv, as well us our personal liberty and

t all !ur slaves free if they will aid ns to
a, lilave "It. .If we are ready to eivfc 'up slave
ry. I am saEsfieti.we can make it the censidera
'tion for a bCtetrade tKarf to give it fot the
uncertain aid. which they might afford us in the
military field" iWhen we arm' the slaves; we
abandon slavery: We . can never again .govern
hem asslaves,and make the institution profit-j
able to ourselves or to them, after tens of thou
sands of them have been taught the use of arms,
and spent years in the indolent indulgencies of
camp life. '' .. ' 1
If the Geperal Assemby should adopt my re
commendation by the call of a convention, I
would , suggest that this too would be a subject
deserving its"8eriulis consideration $nd decided
It can never be' admitted" by the State J.hat
the Confederate Government has any. power,
directly or indirectly, td abolish slavery. . The
provision in the Constitution which by implica
tion authorizes the Confederate Government to
take private property for public use enly, au
thorizes the use of the property duringt he -existence
of the emergency which justifies the
taking. To illustrate: in tune of. war it may
be necessary for the Government to take -from
a citizen a business house to hold commissary
stores. This it may do (if a suitable ona-ean-not
be had by contract) on payment to -tho
owner a just compensation for tba use of the
housel But this cannot change the title of the
land,, and rest it in the Government. When
ever the emergency has passed, the Gorern
mantcaa no longer legally hold the house but
is bound to return it to, the. owner. So that
Government may impresi slaves 'to do the labor
of servant as to fortify a city, if it cannot ob
tain thorn by contract," and it is. bound to pay
the owner just hire for the time that; it -usee
them. But the impressment can vest no title
to the sUves in the Gofernment for a longer
