FilOJl CAlllO a.VIJ llEF,fn SPECULATIONS ON PEACE. Ac Ac. Ac. aVr. from New Vork, Niw York, March '25 The steiraer Baltic, from Hilton Head on tbe 22J, arrived. The surrey steamer Rob White, while rjutdinjf the channel off battery struck is torpedo which exploded, throwitig the bow of the vessel completely out of water, tut che 8U$taiLed lo material damage. None of the officers or crew were ii.jured. A Dumber of torpedoes have beou raised. Sounding the channel and filing lights ij progressing rapidly. Secretary Welle, a.i-itant secretary Fox and Major Gen. Anderson are to viit Charleston and rai-e Sumttr'b 1J titg. Lalton tua established his heddquartcr in Charleston. Capt. Jno. Rouke, of Mulligan's Irieli brigade, arrived at Hilton Head on the 17th, having escaped from rebel imprisonment. He left Colum bi:i 10 dij9 after Shermtn'd cvacuit'on, and wts five iimei recaptured. General William9 was a pigfncer by the Baltic. A Washington ctrre.-tivtideiit makes a fetrie of revelaticuj, for which he Touche, concerning the rebel confederacy of a very important 'oa tuie. He says the total available forte of the rtbe'ii id 152,000 rutr, the figures being taken from the rolla of the rebel war department on I r ttiuary -Ith. t A mohg the itnesse- betöre the rtbel Senate -- am couiunttee u inquire into tue con-m-oi oi ire confederacy was Oen. Lee. He si id it would be bad policy to evacuate Richmond, as the Virginia tiooa would iot go into North Carolina; that they hid not troop enough to last till midsummer. lithe war was t j be carried on the e-ii of evils would be to arm 200,000 Dfgrue-, but thty ?hould be emancipated. It would depend upon circumstance whether they would t-utceed bv arming tdave, but they could at lca?t carry on the war another yeur. The eetitirueM in the army wü-- almost tiiiar.i raous for peace The uieu vill tight longer if necessary, but they believe we cannot rsrry on the war through another campaign. I think it tbe best policy to mke peace ou the I!an proposed by 3Ir Stevene. The people and the country ought to be ved any further Mcri fices. To the inquiry, that it peace be not made before ppring whether he would take command of all the armies with unlimited powers, he replied he would take any position to which hia country called him, but be did not think he cculd save the cau:c now; no human power could save it. He thought Steveu's policy was the best now. i The army and people ought to be saved if all i lost. A long lit of senators, representatives, and other public men, who are in favor of reconstruction on the basis of "the union and constitution, 19 given. Ex-Senator C. C. Clay, recently returned from England, report that Eugland would have nothing to do with tbe confederacy. When Stephens returned from Hampton Uoada he told his friends th it they would have peace before May 1st, lsC; that the substance of what Mr. Lincoln 8tid was that he could make r.o terms with ilr Dvi? leader of tbe rebellion; that he could cot treat with the statea while they couferj-ed allegiance to the confederate government, but that be was willing to treat with the states separately, and it peace was restoied he would do all in his powrr to remit puins and penalties. Davis instruction were that negotiations should be conducted as bttween two nationalities, and pending negotiations an armistice of ninety day. These conditions were not entertained by Mr. Lincoln as a basis lor negotiations. Mr. Stephens looka upoa any f urther effort on the part oi the confederate government toward negotiation or to cairy on the war, as futile and unjust to the people aud states. His plan for petce is, lt, to let President Lin colu issue an address to the army and people of the south, embodying what he hi9 said as to peace and what passed at the interview Hi, appoint commissioners to meet state commissioners to cousult ou peace and the return of the statta on condition of obedience to the constitution aDd laws. 3d, an election by the states and the sending of commi-siontrs or congressmen who thall enter congress upou equal terms. Stepbens believed this plan would secure the approbation ot North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and perhaps South Caroli ca an j Virginia. Tt.e reports in the Richmuud papers of the fighting in North Carolina, a gUea in The Despatch of that city, in Oen. Grant's official dispatch do not correspond with those published in the Raleigh pjrers. The Kaleigh Confederate of the Cist nays it Lopes that within a few days it can give cheering intelligence. So far evrything is encouraging in the affair whch occurred a few days since between Hardee's and Sherman's forces. We repu!ed successfully five assaults upon our lines and held our position until the object was ellecied in drawing N e lost two guns because the horses had been killed Oar los in the affair about 400 killed and wounded The enemy's los was about -I.UUO. Of the battle of Suiidav the correrpondent sits that a very decided advantage wa gained by" our troop The etemv were driven several miles, with a heavy ha We captured some artilery. The first battle occurred on the 16;h, near the junction of the Black with the South river, on Eavetteville atd Uolusboro road, some 15 mile below Benton ville, in the vicinity of which place the battle of Suudiy occurred. Sj it would appear that the rebel fell back 1j teile, after gaining a victory on the lCrh, in which the union lo-s was a bloody ore It is evident that no decisive battle had bees fought. The Richmond Ser.tiL.el of the 23J says that Gold-boro ba been evacuated. At last accounts the enemy had not entered. The same pper eaya there is a bad vi de serters prowling' about" in Darke Co , plundering tbe people. Tbe Sentinel as the darkies preeut a ludicrous appearance, but it is generally believed that Sambo could be taucht to handle a gua as well as a hoe. The Petersburg Examiner says Grant's trains were moving all Saturday right with troop towards tbe lett of bis line- it may have been only another see mw rcutcment iodtceivc The weather, however, is very fine and Grant may advance, tbouch it i bnved th.u be will net move until Sherman is near. The Whig of the 221 learns that Firx Hugh Lee'i cavalry attacked Sheridan At White Ho, on th 21tt, and severely punished bin.

TLe Times' Washington special says Lieut. Morgan, of theSlrt Wisconsin, an escaped prisoner, left Fayettevilie on tbe lCih, the day of the reported rt battle, at which time the tear of Sherman' army was crossing Cpe Fear river and moving north. A skirmish occurrel oa the lC;h between the two divisions of the 14th corpa, and a small body of rebel. This was all the fighting reported on that day. Tbe Tribüne' Washington special says it is believed there that Richmond has beeu evacuated, and that only a strong rear guard has been left behind to keep up the patrol line along the front. It is also rumored that Lee ia at the head of tbe liberated Richmond army, marching in all haste to join Johnston, and to intercept Sherman. The Richmond Sentinel of the 23 i says that Eastern Louisiana is infested with jayhawkers, robbers and murderers. Tbe people are frequently found dead by tbe wayaide Even women are killed. It short, anarchy reicga supreme. Robert Cobb Kennedy, convicted of being a spy, was to-day executed at Fort Lafayette. He was shockingly profane, and sang a song as tbe executioner was adjusting the rope. The Potomac correspondence says: Several deserters who have recently came into our lines state that the rebel offieers tell their men that arrangements have been made betweeo Genls Grant A Lefor exchanging deserters, many arc intimidated from coming into our lines because of these statements. Tbe Washington specials say : We have most substantial evidence of thedesigu ot the rebels to evacuate Richmond It ia founded on the fact that on tbe late raid of Sheridan, files of Tbe Richmond Whi ind til of the aur plus material belonging to that office was captured at Scottsville on the James river, where it had been thrown with ether freight to lighten canal boats. The Times N. 0. correspondent says: There can be no doubt of the deat of GenHindman recently reported and comes direct from Matamoras. The Rirhmon Sentinel, 22d inst. copies tbe following from Tbe Augusta Cbronicle(relative to Siiermau'a army it Columbus: ' The reason why the state house was not burnt is because Sherman could not spare the powder. The state record offices were removed to a place of safety. Re-ord stoleu from citixens of Court Canton, Miss , records of Rfaufort and other dijtricti which had been removed to Columbia for security were unfortunately de3treyed Neatly all the plate sent from Charlotte and Columbia for safe keeping and much of the valuable tlate of the citizens of the latter place which was stored in the Columbia bank all fell a prize to the enemy. The effects of the state bank was afterwards aptuied by tbe enemy. The entiie printing iuterest of Charlotte were destroyed. At Charlotte Junction, during Sherman' late march through the place, aome Yankee officers who escaped from jail at Columbia, made tbeir appearance in public when Sherman marched through. They had been secreted in the city by northern sympathixsr who left Columbia with Sherman Sheridan travelled down the river in grand ftyle, his equipage is said to be elegant, the carriage was drawn by four f pi end id grays all of course stolen from the citizens of Canton county The Mississippi Citizen gives glowing accounts of enthusiastic public meetings. The Paycttville Observer mentions much despondency in North Carolina, and thinks it extend through the entire south. The Raleigh Progress gives the following account of tbe battle of tbe 15th. It seem that the fight commenced at noon on Wednesday, and contiuued briskly until night. Considerable skirmishing was carried on all night, and on Thursday morning the b&fle commenced furiously, and raged the whole day. General Hardee, with about half a corps was intrenched between Black creek and Cape Fear river, at no great distance from the confluence of these streams, but at a point up higher than that at which tbe enemy crossed the former stream. Here he was attacked by a corps of Sherman 'e veterans, and our works were charged three imes, and each time repulsed with immense slaughter We do not understand the position of General Rragg, but we are informed that bis troops were driveuback, which made it Decessary for Hardee lo face back to prevent being flanked. f rom uatilnffton. WasuiNGTox, March 23 It was mentioned in a former dispatch that sixty five refugees had arrived here from Fayettevilie. They have taken the oath of allegiance, and ihoe who de cided to do so, were furnished transportation north. The refugees report that two thirds of the people of North Carolina and about Fayettevilie are unionist-, and hi!ed the appearance of the old flag with many manifestations of joy. There is no Kreal scarcity of provisions in South Carolina, but money cannot be obtained

to purchase them. One dollar of tbe bank of the state of South Carolina will buy ten dollars in confederate money, and it requires one hundred in confederate money to buy oue dollar in gold. Information ia received that the U. S. gunboat Magraw has gone into Corunna, near Feorra, in Spain, with a view to follow out to sea, at once, the rebel ram Oliude, if she shall make such attempt. Water is jut being put into tbe canal basin at Cumberland.

By a sudden rush they seized the line held by the 3d brigade of the 1st division at tke foot of the hill to tbe right ef Fort Steadman, wheeled, and overwhelming the garlisoa.took possession of the fort. They established themselves on the hill, turning our guns on us. Our troops on the other flank stood fire. Afterward a determined attack waa made ou Fort Haskell, which was checked by a part of McLaughlin' brigade oftheltt division, and were repulsed with great loes to the enemy. ! The 1st btigade ot HurUtafl" diiision, held iu j reserve, was brought up and a eh:ck"givcti lo f any fuither advance Two attempts were made to retake the hill,, aud were only teaapoiarily ucce$ful.
