WlfiSTEBtf- DEMOCEAT, CHARLOTTiE, 2ST. O. tstfon tmvcxat CHARLOTTE, IV. C. Tuesday, January 12, 1864. Peace Propositions. Two weeks ago we sug gested that it would bp well for Congrees to appoint Commissioners to propose terms of peace on the hams of separation and the independence of the Confederate States. Although it is well understood by every man who is familiar with the condition of affairs and the history of the present struggle, that J our authorities are ready and anxious to make peace on such terms at any time the Lincoln" Government may show a disposition to accept them, we 'suggest ed that the Commissioners ought . to be appointed, and ought t seek an audience with the rulers at Washington, so as to force Lincoln to receive or reject them, and also to satisfy some of our own people who have been deceived on th subject by office-hunters and led to believe that our authori ties had not done all they could to procure an 'honorable peace." So far as we have been in formed, our article meets with general approval. The FuyeTteville Observer copies and endorses it except in one point, tfiat suggesting, the appoint ment of the Commissioners by Congress. The Ob-M-rver sJiys : "The point upon which-we dissent from the De mocrat's proposition is, that instead of any member from North or South Carolina or Georgia moving in the matter, we think it would be proper that the President should de so, and that he should appoint the Commissioners, with the Concurrence of the Se nate, instead of Congress appointing them." On reflection we are satisfied that we were wrong in this respect, and that the Observer is right the commissioners should be appointed by the Presi dent with the concurrence of the Senate, they being the only treaty making powers recognized by the Constitution. ' . Peace can be secured only by ti; action of our National authorities. Movements for that purpose by a State Legislature or a State Convention would involve us in deeper trouble and might leud to a civil war among ourselves. -For instance, a State Convention could not secure peace for the people of North Carolinirulone-r-it would be disgraceful and traitorous to attempt such a thing, and the man who would propose a wicked scheme of that kind ought to be looked upon and treated as a dangerous enemy to peace here at home. God grant that our people may b saved from intestine feuds and wars. The war with the yankees is distressing enough without turmoil and strife among ourselves. We are just about as anxious for an ''honorable peace" as any man in this world, but we are willing to leave the matter in the hands of our National authorities, where the Constitution has placed it. Pre.-idrnt Davis and his Cabinet are as anxious for peace us we are. Their lives their all, as well as that of every other true southern man are at stake. If our cause fails we all together are doomed to an ignominous fate. This being so, ouht we not to work together, encourage the faint hearted, dis courage and frown upon tin acht-mes of bad men to divide, us, and give a cordial support to our au thorities and the measures adopted to save our eoipitry nun being overrun by a brutal and merci less enemy? lie who" now concocts schemes to gratify personal ambition, or spite, or malice, and with those schemes stirs up strife and quarrels among southern people, is a dangerous and wicked man and an enemy to pence. The President and the Confederate Senate are the proper sources to originate peace measures, and although the President has heretofore made efforts to bring the enemy to terms, and although those advances have been rejected and spurned by the LincoRu Government, we hope he will make another eftort by appointing commissioners and proclaiming the fact to the world. - " .

And it does so in view of the fact that the members of the State Legislature and the City Council o Richmond tendered Gov. Letcher publio compli ments for his distinguished services. : It is strange that some newspaper editors will allow their personal prejudices to influence them. Such papers as the Richmond Examiner, Charleston Mercury, &c, were loud for war in time of peace, but since the commencement bf the war they have steadily and persistently pursued a factious course, finding fault wKh almost every act of our authorities and weak ening public confidence, in the common cause. SlTamei shlime upon such conduct. Mr. Chilton, of Alabama, in reply to remarks made as to the danger of passing such an act, ouotcd from the instructions of Earl Russell to the man Bunch, British Consul at Charleston, who' complained to his government that British citizens were being forced into -the Confederate, service. Even in all the excitement of the occasion, when it was natural to presume that Euglish indignation would be very great against the Confederacy, Earl Russell distinctly admitted that foreign 'residents of a country at war might, after haviijg due notice to depart, be compelled to enter military service, if they refused. 31 r.

It was true that Earl Russell had said that in such case the comity between nations might be damaged, but what right had Epgland or other foreign nations to claim comity frou us ? So long as they fail to recognize" us, they certainly had no right to such a claim, and not until then could a claim of comity legitimately arise. Mr Gaither, of North Carolina, said that he did not believo that either the national honor would be and went with the North. In order to pay him for his treason to his native land, the first Yankee Con gress under Lincoln's reign elected Etheridge cl.erk of the House; but they have now thrown him over board and elected a straight-out abolitionist in his place. Consequently he has been writing letters to a Chicago pp.er abusing the Lincoln administra tion. Emersons pay was "small, but his masters think he ought'tdbe satisfied.

" 9- A. It. LAWTON, ,Jan 12 2t Quartermaster General. OBITUARY'. On the 6th of July, 1863, from the effects of a wound received at tbe battle of Gettysburg, Pa., on the first of July, William II. McQuay, in the 19th year of. his age. He was a member of company E, HthN. C. regi ment. A better soldier in en rap could not be found; a braver young man the writer never beheld an any field uf cuufiict in a word, he performed all his duties manfully. He was among the first to stand forth in do fence of the South.. H was a kind, affectionate duti ful son, beloved by all who knew him. A few moot In before his death he gave himself up to God, though be was possessed of as much filial affection aany boy I ever knew. He was beloved by all his officers aud comrades in camp, and Iong1 long will he be remem bered among his soldier boys that he left behind.. Though he died among strangers and had no celatire. to sooth his dying moment: though he died in faith, hii reaiains lies numbered with the dead near Gettys burg, Pa., and though young he died as a patriot aud J a christian, and nof enjoys a oly rest 1(1 that land where war aud pain auu suiiering is nmner leu nor feared- . My hope for future years Is fled, For oh, a son much luved is dead; . That noble, cheerful, hopeful boy. On whom I built my hopes of joy. I hope on him in age and fears, To lean for help in fuiareyer; Hnt now he's gone and I ara. left, - Like many others, sore bereft. He's gone and oh, it pains ray heart, To know that thus we bad to part; " .That I conld not besidt aim stand, ' And press-bis btow witb my owo band. 'Twas thus when fat, yea far away, . ' To'battle's strife he fell a prey ; ' No relative by hi bed, " No mother's haud to raise his head. We think of thee as now thou art, Tbougb bard, oh bard from thee to part; We'll think of thee till called to meet, Around a common nwrcy seat. - What peaceful boars I once enjoyed, How sweet their memory still; Baktbey bare left an aching void,' The world can never fill. Then Lord support me every day, A-nd let me ne'er fofget to pray; That when I die I'll die forgiven, And that I'll meet tay 4on in Heaved, pd Frif."
