A naw scries of Peace Rc^ol’itions has been
in*^»-oduced irto the North Owolina Lo^'slatare,

to ‘''if- tuaUy open Degoiiactons” for the termioa-

tn the &HC two resolations, whioh are in these
words:
“R solved, That At9 oammisgianen ha el«et^d bjr

“Resolved, That ««ch of the other Staten of thi» Cor-

ing a peaoa through thi medium of these oommla-
Bioners.”
The remaining resolations merely provide for
the neoo3sary correspondeaoe with the President
acd with other States
This aoheme’s object is to provide “a medium”
for nega'iiting with the'United States; and tor
tender.Qg a conference to the Ucitsd States
through this •‘madium" thus provided- All this
in the face of tho fact that th^ S cates of the Con

and b&7e made a tender oi oonfereooe jost each
83 is suggested. Does it not look like trifling to
propoaq to appaint another ni&dinai.of oomninni-
oationj resting on the same aathorityf Th.se
restless citizens persistently refnse to seo the reaJ
difficuhy in the way of p^uie. It is not in the
want of a ready and eonvenieni “medium” of in-
teroourso and negotiation. That exists. It is in
the unwillingness of the enen>y to negotiate for
peace. That tuwillingness^not the want oi a
medium—is the obstruction^ and no mere multi
plication of mediums can remove it. No objes-
tion is made by the enemy to the medium pro
vided by the States when they adopted the Con
federate Constitution. Nor odnld they be con*
ciliated by any ionnal change in the mode of
iutercoarsd. We repeat, the diffieulty does not
lie there at all It is in the nnwiUingaess of tha
enemy to negotiate with us on the subject of
peace through any medium, because ot their
preaent opposition to the ohject oi ttUoh negotia
tion
Mr. Lincoln has not found it diAoalt la nego*
tiate with our authorities whenever his iaterests
and inftKnations prompted. In the bcfanniug,
indeed, he refused recognition even on the b:it-
tle-fiold. The first flag of trace he over sent
we remember, was one addressed ‘^To whom it
zsight oonaem,” and directed to the Manassas
battle-ground, for the recovery of the body of
Seoreti^'7 Cameron's brother. Sooner than rec
ognize our generals, the pious object wad abda-
doued The progress of the war, however, soon
iswept away this reserve, Numerous oonferences
and coirespondenoca have passed on militr.rj
subjects The cartel for the exehange of prison-1 three thoasnud io the 3t«^-e service The reso

tioES would not be rit»od between the States and
the Confederate Stoles Fc; the rea^us he bad
itaelf to the favor of t^e Senate, and ha would,
therefore, move that it be laid on the table.

Mr Graham, of North Carolini^ said he regard
ed this au unne esoary resolution, and thou;j;ht
that it ought not to be passed. It came to the
Senate uaaooompanied with any statisties rela
tive *o the ttum^r of officers exempted by the

st«t«ment of the troops fumished by the States
and the number of those exempted, but he had

being taken to have it oorrected. It was a novel
thing for Congress to open a oommunioation with
the States upon any su^jeot, especially upon this.
The propiMition embrae^ in this resolution ’was
that Congress should eorrespond with the States
and asoertain whether they oonld spare any more
troops for the Confederate armies. Such eorres-
pondence should, if necessary, be had by the Ex
ecutive, by the ^retary of War. For Coagrees
to address the States on this subject would imply
on iesinuation that the States had been delin
quent. North Carolina tmd Georgia were repre-
.seated, in the statement just alluded to, to have
a larger number of. exempts than any ofhe other
States. This was either a mistake, er, if a fact,
could be easily explained, so far as r^arded the
State of North Carolina. The GQvemor of North
Carolina in 1861 undertook, it being the onlv^
o:'ndition upon whioh the President oould receive
wkMum.'WvT- tirn/ps fibat 4iu^ Sfette was furnish
ing, to clothe the North Carolina troops. This
arrangement was still in foro^, and by it the Gov
ernor of North Carolina is the Grand Commissary
of fifty thotuaad troops. To elothe these troops
the Governor found it necessary to make importa
tions and to keep up manufaotories, both ot whioh
required the exemption of a number of men.
Basides, the State kept up in its owi seryiae a
brigade of infantry and a battalion of artillery.
These men, though in tho SNite servioe, l^ad been
under the oontrol of Confederate commanders and
had supplied the places, within their State, of
Coafederato troops, who wore needed elsewhere.
Tno Governor ot North Carolina, it must also be
meutloced, had been made by tha leeulature \he
£TOfid almoner of thousKads and thousands oi
vosaon aod children, whose protectors were absent
in ibe Cunfederate service. To distribute sub
sistence to thie multitude required the exem|»tion

existed to make peao^, there would be the same
readinesi to negotiate. The ‘ mediaax” exists,
the vrill only is wanting; but the will to do this,
like the will to negotiate oa military ciatt?rs, v^i'l
come! Let us be patient.
If these peace propositions were simply idle,
we should not regard them. Wo should be will

ful blow now being struaic at oar sister State of
Gejrgiij and we se? what«hai stt mala ted, perhaps
caused, the attcjjpt. Gov. Brown’s State Con-
vea tioas and Judge Stephens’s resolutions, thous^h
desigasd as lightning-rods to disarm tho storm,
have but attra-^ted the bolt to their owa State!
Such ia the natural but oad effect.
Liter nows from the United States details still
more fully the idea which has gained ground
there of disaffjction in the Southern States, due
to these misunderstood, irregular peace proposi
tions. If it cause the adoption of other iu’Fapive
enterprisss, “by a large Union force,” the suffer
ing people will, at least, have the grim satisfaction
of knowing what will have given these their par
ticular d’reetion. We trust Mr. Poors resolution
will encourage no such delusion as to Nor«h
Carolina, and subject her to no such consequence.
We hope they will not eause the conceit that “a
largn Union force’* at Raleigh, to back up an im
aginary “Union sentiment’' there, would be a
promising enterprise, and thus subject our si‘ter
State to the devastations whioh are being enacted
in Georgia.
There are some things that oamot be hurried.
There are many cases in which irregular Inter
ference and volunteer assistance do much harm,
and no good. The case we are considering is
eminently one of these. Let us be patient Let
volunteer diplomatists keep hands off, if they
p ease—if not from a oonviction of duty and ia-
terest, at least from r^poct for the opinions «f
their fellow-citixens at large, and in answer to
their imploring entreaties.
Gathering them in.—Our people above are
busily picking up the stragglers of Sherman’s
army. We are informed that if they have com
mitted no improper act, they are treated as prison
ers or war. Buc when it is ascertained that
they have been guiltj- of ontrsgeous indecencies
or inbumaaities, Gen. Slueum’s order “to shoot
stsragglerH” has beon carried out. Four stragglers
wiio misbehaved themselves in the presence of
Si>me Isdios near Eatonton a few days since, were
afterwards taken and summarily disposed o^

ing so fickle as it generally is, it may be that an

Schofield yesterday fought one of the
fights of the war, resulting most disas.-
trously to tne rebels, with little loss to ourselves.
After three days’ skirmishing, the rebels crowded
our first line ot works yesterday afternoon, and at
4 o’oloox made a most despsrate atta^ik ^on our
right and centre, forcing our lines to our breast
works, whioh were thrown up from river to river
ia an open field on tho Cnm^rland Pike, whioh
runs througn the centre of the field.
At least half the rebel foroe engaged endeav
ored to pierce our centre, and eame down vicious-
ly on Vagner's division, whioh, after detente
figh^ng, fell back, and Many's rebel division,
ot Frank Cheatham's corps, got inside our works
and oaptured twp guns. Our centre was not bro-
keif, however, and, bettor still, Gen. Wagner
suocesafully rallied bis troops, who charged on
the enemy, rooaptured the two gnns, and drove
the division over the breaH works, capturicg one
entire brigade and its commander
“At halt p».»t 4 o’clock tiie battle was waged
with, unnb&ting vigor, the enemy having made,
durit g a aalf hour, several attempts to break our
centre.
“All this while the rebels had appeared in front,
ot our right. Tha plan was to picroe our centre
aad crush our right wing before dark. A por
tion f our infantry were engaged threo quarters
ut «u hour firint; on the rebel columns, w^o stood
thuir ground li^e ntftdmen. Dari'>^ ever;*,
charge Ciado on our rixht aad centre, volbyj of
grape and canister were hurled into tLe^r line?,
and only darkness prevented their saorzfice i»e ng
more awful.
“After the first break of Wagn r’s divisi >nand
its rcoovory, our line nsver budgei a fatep All
was quiet a‘^t‘?r 10 P M ’
the prettiest but cleanest bactUs of ihe hut.
The exceesive slaughter of tho enemy was owing
to our wholesale use of canister and grape, anil
our ^leotion of the ground. The battle was
fought io an open field, with no trees or under
growth, or other interruption. The en»*my’3 loss
in killed and wounded approximates 7000, and
we have over 1200 prisoners, and one general
officer and several field offioers. Our loss does
act re'ch LOQO. T tnM »u aloair tho i>ro-
graoiine oi Gen. Thomas would electrify the
country, and this is but the epilogue of the battle
io come off
“Alter our dead, wounded and prisoners wore
eared for, our army fell back to this point, and
are ic line of battle while 1 write. Up to this
tiu^e, 3 P. M., the enemy has not made his ap
pearance. The third cjrpa of yeteracs are in
reaiioess, and a battle is expected befoie daylight
>0 morrow. All government work is suspended,
and all are under arms, from Gen. Djnaldson
down to the unscientifij laborers.
‘•The ialling back of our troops was accomplish
ed at 8 o'clock this morning, and bridges burned
across Harpeth river to retard tne transportation
of rebel supplies.
“A. J. Smith’s corps is in line of battle, and
the situation is particularly grand. The infantry
mo/ements are perfectly satisfactory. Something
must immediately transpire, as Gen. Thomas is
ready to strike, no matter how the rebels move
Retreating and burning bridges to prevent per
suit looks like defeat, instead of victor;; so we
were prepared to find later dispatches stating that
Hood was in close pursuit of those who had
badly whipped him. He orossod the Harpoth,
spite of the burned bridges, and on the next day
after being whip|>ed 20 miles from Na.%hviile, he
was fighting the victors in the suburbs of that
city! Dispatches from Nashville of the 1st say:—
“Tho Union forces under Gen. Thomas retired
from Franklin last night, and have taken position
and formed in line of battle south of Nashville
about 3 miles. Skirmishing has been going on
all day about 5 miles «eouth of here Heavy can
nonading can be distinctly heard in the city.
^'No want of confidence is felt by the citisens in
ultimate* sucoess by tho Union foroes The em
ployees of the Quartermaster’s Department are
under arms and iu the trenches
“A great battle may be momentarily expected.
“The city to-day is full of fleeing residents of
Williamson and other oountiM south. They state
Hood is gathering up all the horses, hogs and
mules he canlSnd, and sending them south.
“There is great panic among the negroes in the
counties south of Naahvillo. Nombers are fleeing
to the city for protection ”
New York and Baltimoro papers of the 8d con
tain additional details of the battle at Franklin,
in which the repulse of H«od, with heavy 1*^^
is reiterated. Genl’s Pat Clobnme i>nd Wirt
Adams are reported killed. 30 stands of colors
were captured by th» U ui >n forces
A telegram from Nashville of the 2d says
there was slight skirmishing with the enemy’s
cavalry all day- A complete line of entrench
ments encircles the city. A 4>ortion of our cav
alry foroe encountered Forrest’s cavaby 3 miles
from town on the Franklin Pike. The rebels
oould be plainly fiean adyanciog, when our troops
retired towards the city. Night ooming on, only
a few occasional shots were exchanged.
A Louisville telegram of the 2d says, yester
day evening the two armies were engsged in
heavy skirmishing. Th6 ra^le ef musketry was
pbi»>ly beard in the streetsNashville. A
tie of ierriblo fury is immiaeat. Hood is press

Hood’s mbin army is thraatening Mnrfreesboro’.

The enemy, having landed his troops from ih«

about 5,000 infantry, (chiefly negro troops,) and
1,600 artillery, (all whit««).

(avus W. Shnith, of the GhK>rgia State troops,
were placed in position end prepared for battle
At eleven o’clock Wednesday morning the en

tillery playing upon our lines, attacked Gen.

After night^ll tbe enemy quietly retired for a
distance of three miles towards the cover of their
gunboats Before dawn several additional traas-
ports, carrying troope, were seen steaming up
Broad River, doubtless bringing reinforcements
to the discomfited foe. Our foree has been
