s of interest to the commercial community. The meeting organized by calling Horace L Kent, Esq., to the Chair, and appointing Mr. George J. Sumner, Secretary. On motion of Mr. Jas. B. Ferguson, a committee of five was appointed to contest with the officers of the various Banks in this city upon the subject of Northern exchange, with a view, if possible, to fix upon some reasonable and uniform rate, and to report to an adjourned meeting. The Chair appointed as the committee, Messrs. J. B. Ferguson, S J. Harrison, A. P. Fox, T. R. Price, W. H Christian. Mr. J. B. Fickle made a motion, which was carried, that a committee of five be appointed to take the subject into consideration, and to recommend suitable measures for adoption in regard to exchange and currency.--Committee--Messrs. J. B Ficklen, George J Sumner, A. Y. Stokes, Wm. G. Paine, Wm. S. Donnan. After appointing a committee to procure a suitable room, the meeting adjourned until Friday evening at 6 o'clock.

J. Sumner concurred with Mr. Fox. No general plan in relation to exchanges could be adopted, and the merchants would, therefore, be compelled to act each man for himself. Mr. Taylor favored another meeting, to hear from the conference committees of the banks. Mr. A. K. Parker could see nothing left for the meeting to do. Merchants owing debts at the North would be compelled to pay the current rates of exchange, whatever they were, or to decline to pay. The matter w

In the same paper I read that intercepted dispatches disclosed the fact that Mr. Fox, who had been allowed to visit Major Anderson, on the pledge that his purpose was pacific, employed his opportunity to devise a plan for supplying the fort by force, and that this plan had been adopted by the Washington Government, and was in process of execution. My recollection of the date of Mr. Fox's visit carries it to a day in March. I learn he is a near connection of a member of the Cabinet. My connection with the Commissioners and yourself was superinduced by a conversation with Justice Nelson.--He informed me of your strong dispositions in favor of peace, and that you were oppressed with a demand of the Commissioners of the Confederate States for a reply to their first letter, and that you desired to avoid it, if possible,
