New York, Jan. 10. Nearly al! tho papers to-day haye edf trials on Biair'a visit to Itiehmoad. The Tribuno has na espoctation of peace, liut a authorizad to ascertain if paace ia attainable. It hopes tbe effort will produce a olearer utiderstanding, espeeially at tha Öouth, of tbe grounds of differe;oe oí the contendiug partiea. It thinks tha end of tbe mission will ba partially uned, if the rebels iaaist on temas iaadmíatlbk, The World thinka there ís no prospeot that 'Biai,r's misaion will open the way to a rosponsiblö negoiiaiion. It doei Dot look for .peaeo until tho emauuipatidD esperhnont in the South bas b:en triüd by askiug fofeign intervenúm oq tho couditiou of freeiug the si tve?, It says in judging of tba probtibiüties of poace, we abuse our own oicduHty unles3 we look at the rnatter .' un the Southern stacd point. The South have now more to gain by further r aistanoe thaa by immediate submission, a.id it is thoroforo idle to look for peace. Tbo Times hopc3 the report that Blair h3 gone to Richmond is not true, and s-ys no ffood can possibly como of tha :ision. Tho governtnent has thu3 far oalt with the rebels only as individúala, nd thcrefore only their State authorii;-.scan deal with the general goverunenT in a movement for peaee, It is useless to attempt to convinoa Jeff. Daia oi thafolly of the rebollion, until it a understood by thn Scuthern people. The Post calis Bluir's mission a fool's erraud, and thinka peaee is quito near, and wtll come frora the Southern States and peoplo. It snys these missions to iichtaoud enable the rebel leaders to ,ell tiicir people that the United States aro woary of the war, and anxious for a Cfsaation of hostilities. It considera Grant, Sherraan, Sheridan, Thomas, and Farragut the best and Burest peacemakers.
