Baldwin, ity Tho President's Torms to Virginia, and Overtures for Poace. ——e Mr. John Minor Botts’s promised reply to the pam phiot of Mr. Baldwin relatiog Wis interview with Mr. Lincoln Before and winle the Virginia Convention was in meeting, and Jost bolore the Secussion of that State. has at length been pub- Behed. It will bo remembered that Mr. Baldwin, before the Committee of Congress, denied that Mr. Lineoln had mado the proposttion to evacante Fort Sumter, 1 case Virginia re- mained Joyal, and voted down the motion to sccede. Mr, Botts sucoeeds in roving Mr, Ballwin's statements naldeng, but iuteresting Jetter. Divested of matters more porsonal than historical, this letter has many points of interest, We priut its more immediatareference 1o the subject of the Suteryiew, Mr. Botts proceeds as follows: But what are we to think of Mr Lincolat He has not had Ahe reputation of having been either s madman, a_fool, or o iifler.

As Mr. Baldwin, iu bis interview with Mz, Lincoln, accord- ing 10 his own testimony. draws a marked line between the metives, fufiaences snd couduct of a politician and a gentle. @au, it would have been well if. in the outset of bis book, he ad it formed the pablic m which of the two capacitics he wns then acting: for 1y owp part I recognize no ruch distinction.

Baldwin, that if the Con- wention would adjourn without passing au ordiusnce of Seces- aton, be (Mr. Lincoln) would take the respousibility of with. drawing the troope from Fort Sumter.

Tn soswer 1o Mr. Botte's ques- on of bow in the name of God be could take the responmbility of withholdiag the kpowledge of such an iuterview from the Cenvention, Col. Baldwin remarked that it was near the Mowr for the meetiug of the Covvention, and tbat he wes compelied to be there, but wouid see him sgain.” Now, sce how my statement tellies with that of Myr.

They only state that Mr. Baldwin made o very reut representation to them from that made by Mr. Lin- ol to we, and from that admitted by Mr. Daldwin Limself Doth to Mr. Lewis and myself. (See Mr. Lewis's further addi- sional statement below.) There is no issue, then, between these gentlemen and m Itis not for me to accouut for this discrepancy in the statemest made to them, and to Mr. Leowis and myself. 1t s not for we to defend Mr. Baldwin for oot known to the Convention Mr. Lincolu's overtare Sor peace. nor for now denying what My ewis and myseif ave 80 poritively emphatic in asserting he ncknowledged to os.

If we have told the then, to say the least of it, Mr. Baldwin's Secession riends—all, including Mr. Whitebead, who Las been in such ot haste llmmwum-t Jodgment 1n advance against me—must admit that Mr. Baldwin has made very many grare mistakes, for tleman of bis ubusaally good memory.

During the week ending yesterday 37 cases of sup- posed cholera were roported to the Board of Health in this eity. Of these 11 proved to be genuine aud & proved fatal, while 3 of the patients only recovered. Yesterday a girl, 10 years of age, named Cecelia Reed, was attacked at No. 13 Mulberry-st. by u discase supposed to be cholera, but no report had been reefved at the office of the Sanitary Superintendent hour last evening. In all of these cases disinfectants were freely used by the Sanitary Officers of the Board of Health, whether the disease was found to be true Asistic Cholera or not, aud this fact accounts in part for the report we are ennbled to make at the close of the week, namely: There is 10 epidemic in the city, and the general health of the publio remaivs good. THE CHOLEKA IN BROOKL Dr. Crane yesterday anvounced to the Board of Health that 26 cases of supposed cholera bud been reported at the Office o the Assistant Sanitary Superintendent in Lrooklyn, of which 10 were genufine end 4 uncertain, while 12 were merely ag: gravated cases of chiclers morbus, Onesalf of the whole nuw. ber occurred in the Twelfth Ward, near the Atlantic Docks. The Ward is inbavited by meinly natives of Treland, and is the most Hlthy iu the city. ¥ effort to bave it cleaned lLas proved fruitless. It has no sewerage, the privies are full to overflowing, and the filth aud garbage are permitted to festor in the streets, while the Alderman makes no effort whatever to bauve the sanitary condition of the Ward improved. The Sixteenth Ward which is slso exceedipgly filthy, em braces that part of the city lyicg in the vicinity of the Navy- Yard, and is inhabited priveipally by the German element. Here, also, there is 1o sewerage, and the water stands in the cellars from 2 0 16 iuckes deep. The mortality in this Ward is very great. Where the Aldermen have codperated with the Board of Health in the least degree they have the greatest mortality, Tn some of the Wards of Brooklsn, there are no contracts whatever for cleaning the streets, and it is not probable any will be immediately made. Because of the facts that in some cases the night-soll must be carried two or three miles before it can be dumped at any of the places designated for that pur- pose, 1t 18 ot removed st all.
