WASHINGTON, Feb. 27. – Mr. Cameron has not received his
definite instructions yet is not contemplating an immediate departure to
Russia. No Secretary of the Legation has
been appointed. Green Clay still retains
the place though now serving in Gen. Buell’s army.
Neither Jeff. Davis nor others have made any overtures to
the Government concerning terms of submission or compromise. The flag some time ago sent by Gen. Johnson
to McClellan and also Howell Cobb’s interview with Gen. Wool, related solely to
exchanging prisoners. The above facts
are derived from the best sources of information.
