New York, J*o, 18.—A 8*vaanah la t-
ter saj9 tht union sentiment is increasing
in consequence of Sherman's mild
policy and Uitry'a administration of
affairs in the city. No rectriotions on
trade except ootton. Nine obuaiies in (he
interior of Georgia hare issued calls for
Union meetiog*.
Nkw York, Jan. 10.—The Tribute's
Washington special, says Lincoln has
been closeted all dtty, denying himself to
all visitors. It is whispered that two
Alabama petce delegations had audience.
The Tresident1 was giving his mind to
the endeavors fi otu both sides of th* Hoe
ab)ut the se'tlement.of war.
A Fortress Monroo correspondent says
the Raleigh Whiff comes out openly for
reconBtructioa.
^ Richmond dispatches of the 17th, say
tho fall of Fort Fisher, wo presume, closes
the port of .Wilmington. Fort Caswell
and other forts, still guard tho southern
channel < f tho river. Fort Fisher is thirty
miles below Wilmington. Some regard the
fall of Fort Fisher a disaster, whue many
uro disposed to regard it as a blessing in
disguise. The latter who are, it is said, a
numerous cla s, contend that tho port oi
Wilmington from its first, done mare harm
tl. an good.
Goods imp rti d hnvj done us Utile good,
and mil ions if dollars worth of cotton
hava tlicnco found i's way lo ihe enemy.
Our forces, ascot-ding lo Gen. Lee's report,
wore making demonstrations in the r<ur—

It was repot led yesterday lhut Join C.

Mr. Blair arrivel iu the city last night.
JuJ^e Halliburton, of 'ho Confederata
courts for tbe Di-iriot if Virginia, has is-
sue 1 a writ ol hibeas corpus on the
petition of Footo, coaimending Captain
Dogqet', Provost Marshal of Fiolericks-
hurg, to bring the body of Foote before
him, and show cai so why ho should not be
si t at liberty.
This matter has been killed by the Houiv
of Representatives to whom it was referred
by the President, declaring that the good ot'
the country would ho observed by a forced
attendance of Mr. Foote on their sessions,
but under all the circumstances of the case
it is expodient that the authorities discharge
him from custody.
J. Wt Singleton, of Illinois, the Yankee
peace Democrat and peace commissioner
is still at tho Spottswood Hotel. His pres-
ence has not produced a great sensation.
The Richmond Examiner of the 16th
says inmors concerning the nature of the
peaoe^negoliaiions o'.d Blair carries back
with him are very numerous, We arecan-
filently assured the n ission has brought
tho peace question lo a point that pro-
vides for tue nppo'ntmei.t of commission-
ers from cither side with authority to lay
affairs on a peaoe foundation. The Whig
says it is understood that Blair had a pri -
vate confidential in erview with Mr. Davi?.
He had come in no official capacity and
had no official intercourse with any mem-
ber of Iho Government. The belief is that
this interview will lead to a conference be-
tween authorized agents or commissioners
of tbe twoGovernmentf. 4
It is understood that Mr. Davis will per-
mit no obstacle of tho former to stand in
the way of sending or receiving commis-
sions—Blair was handsomely entertained
during his sojouru in Richmond. We are
assured that the report is true that Mr. Da-
vis has sent an autograph letter by Mr.
Blair expressing a willingness to send or
receive authorized commissioners to nego
liate fur peace. Mr. Blair cotnes in no of-
ficial capacity, but simply with the knowl-
edge and consent of Air. Lincoln. Ho ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr. Lincoln would
cordially appoint commissioners to meet
thbso appointed by our President.
Tha boat that took Mr. Blair from Ricl:-
moel on its ret tun return trip, oarried td
ilint plaoe Mr. Sinj leton, peace ccfnmis-
si jner, from win ss visit R cbmond paptrs

purpjso of paying another visit to Ricli-

The HertlVs Washington *pccial says
r-ince Blair's re'.nra fioui his first visit t>
Richmond, he h.i.i been in frequent con-
sultation with Lincoln anl other Rating
me tuber j of the administration. This
would indicate Iho first mission was fat
inoro successful than was allowed to train-
