tmaster-General has issued an order re-opening the post-office at Savannah, Georgia, and placed it in charge of James G. Mills, of that city. The train bound to Fairfax, on Monday, was fired into by a band of guerrillas between Springfield and Accotink bridge. The conductor was informed by the captain commanding at Springfield that there were some guerrillas in the vicinity, so he was on his guard. When first seen, the guerrillas were piling timber on the track. The engineer at once reversed the engine and saved the train. Some shots struck the smoke-stack. No other damage was sustained. The only fresh rumor that has reached the Yankees in regard to peace, is the statement that Mr. Blair carried with him to Richmond full authority from the President to give a safe conduct for peace commissioners from Jefferson Davis to Washington. It rests on no better authority than a private letter said to have been written by some one in Washington to a gentleman in Philadelphia.

retary of War, and that the Senate on yesterday confirmed the appointment. Mr. Seddon was still at his post last night. Mr. Wigfall, yesterday, introduced in the Confederate Senate a resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to inquire into the expediency of abolishing all laws authorizing impressment except by military officers in cases of absolute necessity; and of paying market price for all property impressed by the military. The resolution is based upon the belief that there is an abundance in the country for the uses of the armies, but that it can only be made available by the Government entering the market and paying a fair value for what it purchases. Gold sold yesterday at Davenport & Co.'s auction at forty seven--at the same time could be bought, and was bought, privately at forty five. Some of the knowing ones made a good thing by buying privately and selling at the auction. There is a report that Mr. Blair will be in this city again in a few days.
