The Confederate Commissioners. --The Paris correspondent of the Charleston Courier writes on the 3d inst., Hon, P. A. Rost and Hon. Wm. L. Yancey, Commissioners from the Confederate States, arrived at Southampton on Monday, 29th of April. The Paris Pays has stated that they are daily expected in Paris, and will probably be received soon afterward by the Emperor in private audience. Messrs. Rost and Yancey have not yet, as far as I have been able to ascertain, reached the Capital. When they arrive, I shall use every honorable endeavor to obtain information relative to the prospects or success of their mission, and keep you advised accordingly.

Boston,May 23.--The frigate Mississippi returned to-day, having, when a few miles down the harbor, discovered that her delivery pipe had been tampered with and rendered useless by a joint of gum and canvas being inserted instead of metal pipe, by the late chief engineer, Michael Quinn, of Virginia, who lately resigned and joined his fellow rebels. It will take a week to repair the damage. A letter from a Boston shipmaster, at Havre, says the ship Matilda, which arrived there on April 29th, had the Palmetto flag flying, but she was not allowed to enter the dock until she had hoisted the Stars and Stripes. The Massachusetts Legislature adjourned this afternoon. Most of the members, individually, contributed to pay the Massachusetts volunteers. B. F.

out that time, but a little later, Mr. Stephens, the Vice President of the Confederate States, in a public speech, which was published in the North and in the South, said: "Our object is peace, not only with the North, but with the world. All matters relating to the public property, public liabilities of the Union when we were members of it, we are ready and willing to adjust and settle upon the principles of right, equality, and good faith." In his message to Congress on the 29th of April President Davis reiterated these sentiments, saying: "We protest solemnly, in the face of man kind, that we desire peace at any sacrifice, save that of honor. "In independence we seek no conquest, no aggrandizement, no cession of any kind from the States with which we have lately confederated. All we ask is to be let alone — that those who never held power over us shall not now attempt our subjugation by arms This we will, we must resist, to the direst extremity. "The mom

natures cannot believe in virtue. But many a Southern mother will see in the following only what her own son might have written: The diary of A Secession soldier. Some of the incidents of the civil war are extremely touching. We have before us the diary of a young soldier of Huntsville, Alabama, who was killed at Bull Run, which was taken from his pocket by a member of the New York 71st Regiment. His name was G. T. Anderson, and we learn from his posthumous record that on the 29th of April, with his brother Stephen, he "left home with a company of volunteers." He describes the parting with home, family and friends, and admits that he "hated to leave most awfully;" but justifies himself by stating that his country was in danger. He mentions all that transpired next day at Dalton, Ga., and tells us that the regiment to which his company was attached elected E. J. Jones, of Huntsville, Colonel, and E. M. Law, Lieutenant Colonel. May 5, he "woke up in Jones-borough, Tennesse

Other reports indicate a stranger force at Gordonsville and a contest there, the whole resulting in a belief that they are concentrating at Yorktown. I believe Jackson left this valley yesterday.

rring therein, they find the prisoner guilty of the charge. First specification — guilty. Second specification — not guilty. Whereupon, two thirds of the Court concurring, it was adjudged that the accused "Suffer death by hanging." On the 25th of April, the proceedings, findings and sentence of the Court were approved by the Commanding General of the Department of Henrico, who ordered that the sentence should be executed under the direction of the Provost Marshal, on the 29th of April, between the hours of 6 and 12 o'clock M. On the announcement of his approaching fate, the prisoner, as we hear, grew defiant, thinking no doubt that he would not be hung. He also said he could make several parties in the War Department "shake in their jackets" by his revelations; but he made none up to his last hour. Learning on Monday night that there was no show for him, he became completely unnerved. He was carried to the Fair Grounds as early as 6 o'clock yesterday mornin

Look out for a Dodge. --The Milledgeville Union, of April 29th, says: We do not believe McClellan intends to force his way to Richmond over the bayonets of our army on the Peninsula. That would not suit the man. He intends to threaten our army until we get our whole disposable force concentrated there, and then give them a dodge, and attempt to turn our position and march suddenly upon Richmond, by some other route — perhaps by the way of Fredericksburg. No doubt our military men have their eyes open to such a trick, but the assailant has greatly the advantage in such movements. We have to guard every point, not knowing when the enemy may strike, and he can choose his time and place to strike, unless our commanders do as those at Corinth did, anticipate his movements and disconcert his plans by attacking him. We should not be surprised to see the crafty foe taken in the toils he is preparing for others. One thing is pretty certain, he is concentrating his whole force f
