Lii;c j!u ; tha aa ch they were weicoma ; that tl.3 Confederacy had rever concealed its desire for peace, acet that ho was scfedy to Lear whatever they had to oner on that subject. Mr. Gilmore thea addreisad the President, and ia a few minutes had convejed the inforuaMon that these two gen tlemen Lad come io ilichmcad impressed with tho idea that thia Government would ceept a peace on the basis of a reconstruction of the Union, tfcs abolition ol slavery, and the giant cf au arnebty to the poode of tha Btates as repentant criminals. In order to accomplish the abolition of slavery, it was propose d that there should be a general vote of all ttie peopie of bo h Federations, in mass, and the majority of ttie vo'u thus taken waa to determine that as well 88 ail othor ii-putcd questions. Theee were stated to be Mr. L ncoln's viows. lue President answered, that as these proposals had been prefaced by the remark that the peopie of the North were a majority, and that a major ity ought to govern, the offer was, m enact, a proposal that the Comederate States tlioald surrender at discretion admit that they had been wrorg from the beginning of tbe cobtest, hubmit to the mercy of their caetnies, and avow themselves to be in need of pardon for crimes ; that exter mination was preferable to Bach dishonor. He stated that if they were themselves eo unacquainted with the fotm of their own government as to make suoh propositions, Mr. Lincoln ought to have known when giv ing them Lw viewB that it was out of the power of the Con federate Government to act on tbe bu- jact cf the demestio institutions ct the several Btates, ea ;h State having ex clusive ju iBdictioii on that point, still less to commit the decision of each a question to the vote of a foreign people; that the separation of the Btates was aa accomplished faot; that be Ui, ag authority to jeceiyo proposals toi neggti tes of States nw at war on thin ontinent, render it de : "ki that x.m should be fr.1I advised cf tho views and tlon except by virtu of his offloe as Preaident of an Inde pendent Confederacy, and on this basil alone must propo sals be made to him. At ote period of the conversation, Mr. Gilmore made use of some language referring to these States as "rebels" while rendering an account of Mr. Lincoln's views, and apologised for the word. The Present desired him to proceed, that no offence was t&kenTand that he wiihed Mr. Lincoln's language to be repeated to bim as exactly as pcssioie. rsome lurtner conversation too piace, sno stantially to the same effect as tbe foregoing, when the President rose to indicate that the interview was at an end. Tbe two gentlemen were then recommitted to the charge of Col. Ould and left Richmond the next day. This account of the visit of Messrs. Gilmore and Jao- quess to Bichmond has been rendered necessary by publi cations made by one or .both of them since their return to the United States, notwithstanding the agreement that their visit was to be kept secret. They have, perhaps, cotclu ed that as the promise of lecreoy was made at their re quest, it was permissible to disregard it. We had no Ma son for desiring to concetl what occured, and have, there fore, bo ocmpiaims 10 mass of the publicity given to the fact of tbe visit. The extreme ioacoaracv of Mr. Gilmori' narrative wilt be apparent to vcu from the forepoinp Rtntn. lueuk. Yo j have no doubt seen, la the Northern rjanera. aa ac count of another conference on tbe subject of peace, which took ilsce in Canada, at about the same date, between Messrs. C. C. Clay and J. P. Holcombe, Confederate citi zens of the highest character and position, and Mr. Horace Gref ley, of New York, acting with aathority of Presideat uacom. it is deemed not improper to inform you tbat Messrs. Clay and Holcombe. althomrh eajoymar in an emi nent degree the confidence and esteem of the President, were strictly accurate ia their statement that they were without any authority from this Government to treat with that of the United States, on any subject whatever. We had do knowledge of their confeience with Mr. Greeley, nor of their proposed viiit to Washington, till we saw the newspaper publications. A. sicniflsaBt confirmation of the truth ot the ttatement of Messrs. Gilmore and Jaeauis that bey came as messengers from Mx. Lincoln ia to be fourd in tbe fact, that the views of Mr. Lincoln as stated by them to the President are in exact conformity with th offensive paper addressed to " whom it may concern." which was sent by Mr. Linoo.'n to eBrs. Clay aad Hol combe by the hands of his prifate Secretary, Mr. ay, and which was proper!y regarded by thosa gentlemen as an intimation that Mr. Lincoln was unwillinar that thia war should cease while in his power to continue hosti ities.

SF From the Philadelphia Age. WHAT TUB PSOPLB ARB EATI50. Any one who will go among the people the people I as contradistinguished from tbe politicians will be eati&fied that they thoroughly understand the condition to which the countty has been brought ; tbat they are not blind nor to be blinded as to the cause of tbe evils they deplore ; and that they know the remedy, and in tend to apply it. Everywhere plain people are saying that io the ;good old times" not very long ago when the Democratic party ruled, our country was united and prosperous. With the success of the Abolition party and its as sumption of power, all was changed. The Abolition ists found peace and Union they brought about war and disunion. In place of freedom and prosperity, they bi-ought about despotism and mis?ry. Tbey have so shaped this unnatural war the end of their fanatical agitation as to prevent, bo far as in them lay, all hope cf an early or honorable settlement. Their policy has loaded the nation with a tremendous debt, until it stag gers on the verge of bankruptcy. With them in pow er, we can have no prospect save misery, and no hope for the restoration of the Union. 1 hey have done, and are doing all that ignorant, reckless and fanatical men can do, to accomplish the ruin of their country. If we would save the nation, we must go back to the Democratic policy. The mass of tbe people know this, and hence our confidence in the future. All that is needed is prudence, and the selection cf proper men to be our etandard bearers in the approaching contest. The nation ia to be saved if at all by the ballot box. We rejo'ce that to-day the Democratic party is purified of many who disgraced it in former times. These, ns wa3 fit, long ago deserted to the enmy. The timid, the treacherona, the time serving, have been weeded out ,and their places are filled by the good and the wiea the conservative and intelligent of all parties. U successful nd ever thing indicates that we shall be successful we may yet see the Union of these Statr s restored, and peace, happiness and prosperity be again the portion of oar people. From the Portland (Me.) Advertiser. WARNING WORD?. The Wade and Winter Davis protest against the usurpation of President Lincoln.and whicbnow fills with alarm the leading reflecting minds of the country, con tains these significant words of warning : " The President, by preventing this bill frcm becom ing a law, holds the electoral votes of the rebel States at the dictation of his personal ambition. " If those voteB turn the balance in his favor, is it to be supposed that big competitor, def 2a ted by such means, will acquiesce ?' We hold it as certain as that time rolls round, if Mr. Lincoln sLoukl attempt to cmira an election by vir tue of the votes of the subserved States, his inaugara tion would be resisted by a million of bayonets, and loy al leaguers, shoddy contractors and place-hunting fol lowers of the usurper would be swept from the earth, like so much stubble in the pathway of the leviathan. The Great Weat and North west, the Middle States and the States in the East, would not stcpto pass res olutions of secession ; but they would raise the loved flag of the Union, and drive from tha nation's capital into the Potomac the whole horde of placemen, who should thus seek to trample out the great popular fran chise, and cheat the nation of its presidential and legit imate choice. If a like result oi the election eba'l be effected by undue influence and military control over the vote3 of soldiers away from their States, and an election claim ed bo virtue of such perversions of the elective fran chise, it would in like manner, as that indicated by Messrs. Wade and Davis, awaken a spirit of revolution and resistance as implacable as the ccean storm. No ; the opposition ask for nothing but fair play their constitutional rights, and these they will have in tbe coming elections, though citie3 be laid in ashes, end blood bathe both valleys and mountain tops as the price cf them. Tbe opposition is constituted of a law- abiding and patient people. They have endured the iron heel of usurpation long enough, and constantly, for three years past. Tbey trust to end it by a constitu tional and lawful process, and tbey wont be cheated out of the hope. And the earning of Wade and Davis is both true and timely. From the Clairmont (Ohio) feun. THE FEELING IX THB COETNTRT AQAIN3T LINCOLK. The Clairmont (Ohio) " Sun " thus speaks of the leeling with which the tax and conscription candidate the hero of draft proclamations is regarded in tLat county. It says : If permitted to judge of tha feelings in other loca tions by that of our own, Mr. Lincoln will be the worst defer, ed man who ever ran. The people, save and except the shoddies; are almost universally opposed to his re-election. They cannot be hoodwinked any longer. He is, emphatically, a dead cocs in the pit." If he should establish a military bos tile in every school district, and had the power to con vert the leaves of the trees into greenbacks, with all his tools to peddle them, he would fail. Saltpetre will not save him. His political carcass is too far decomposed. L?t the Democrats, as they surely will, nominate a man c! broad and comprehensive views, opposed to public stealing, and ore who considers the interest of the white man paramount to that of the neero. one who is in favor of the Union with or without slavery, and their success will be certain. Frcm a New Jersey Paper. DEMOCRATIC MEETING AT LAMBEETTILLB, NEW JERSEY. A large meeting o( the Democracy of Lambertville, New Jersey, was held on the 11th inst.' The meeting was called to order by A. J. Scarborough, on-whose nomination Hon. Samuel Lilly was called on to pre side. The President, on taking the chair, stated the object of the meeting to be to take counsel together on the great subjects now agitating tne public mind to ex press our devotion to the Constitution, the Union, to State rights, tree speech, a iree prees, a free and pare ballot box, and peace upon a basis honorable alike to all parties. The last proposi nou was bailed with shonts ot applause. Hon. J. W. Wall was then introduced, and three tre mendous shouts twice repeated. Mr. Wall, in a most powerful, thrilling and eloquent speech of more than an hour, discussed tbe present un happy condition of onr country, showed conclusively that aa tbe Union was not made by the sword, it can not he restored by force. Tbe despotic tyranny, the outrageous violations, of tho CoasUtnUon, tue vile cor ruptions and miserable imbecility of Abraham Lincoln and his Administration', were most scathingly re buked. . . Richard H. Wilson, Esq., from the committee, re ported a number of resolutions, which were unani mously and enthusiastically adopted. One in favor of peace was greeted with cheer npon cheer. From the Buff lc Con rier. THB CONTEST. It is rnmored in New York, and the report is be lieved by many who are in a position to be well in formed, that, at an early day, Abraham Lincoln will withdraw his name as a candidate for re-election, and ure the assembling of another nominating convention. It is eaid that Tbut low Weed's recent visit to Wash ington, bad reference to this "Sank movement." We give this rumor for what it is worth, not vouching for its reliability. We have no doubt, however, that the President will undertake to change " his base," at the first favorable opportunity. The assaults ia front of Wade ar i Davis, and tbe cross fire of Greeley are " too numerous " for him. Poor Lincoln 1 A Bloltad Runner. (From the Liverpool Mercury Aug, 2J.)

Gov. Seymour and Mayor Gunther Taking Advantage op Lincoln. The follcTwing article in the Philadelphia Inquirer shows that the two highest offi cials of New Yorkjtook a most uofair advantage of Abe on the occasion of issuing their proclamations in support of his for fasting and prayer : Can there be more maiicious men than those who would interpolate into a calLfor universal prayer ex pressions ot partizan malice and evidences of the bit terness which excoriates their own hearts? Can there be meaner men than those who interline in an official document, of a devotiOLal, end hot of a political char acter, a request, come pray for us and onr party ? We should think not ; and yet Governor Seymour, of New York State, and Mayor Gunther of New York city, have been weak enough to do these things. Governor Seymour, preten ted to enforce the President's proc lamation, appointing a day cf humiliation &: d prajer a proclamation national in its character, and free from cfljLSive allusions to men ot any shade of opinion add3 to it tbe opposition creed, and Mayor Gunlher does the sama thing but more offensively. Seymour says, pray against ail "sectional hatred." Does he mean the hatred cf his party against New England, which re echoes the reb el song which is popular at Kichmoud ? or does be mean what his partisans stigmatiza as the sectional haired" which the people of the loyal States, upon whom des perate war ia waged by Sonthern traitors, naturally ieel against an jligarchy who have deluged the land in blood and raised their parricidal hands against the gov ernment which were bound to support by "the Consti tution as it was ?" He desires tbe prayers of the peo ple again3t "bigotry and malic;." the bigotry and malice of slaveholders against republican institutions. Governor, or what your friends call ihe bigotry and malice of the United States and its surporters against the wicked assailant? of the Union and the prosperity ct the country ? Hi tvants tbe people to pray that they may be relieved frcm "heavy burdens," meaning the lawful and necessary taxation of the Government. He desires. that "they shall be safe in their homes frcm all violence and oppression" such as occurred at Cham nersburg the other day, e r is this to be a prayer for the publishers of tbe New York Worid and Journal of Commerce ? His peroration is sublimely doubtful. He Eayg : "Let us prey that God will give wisdom to our rulers (particularly to Governor Seymour, say we,) pu rity to our legislators (amen to that, whether they meet at Albany or Harrisburg), uprightness acd boldness to our judges." Ia this a slap at the New York judges, McCnnn on Kassell ? Tney certainly have boldness, but nprightaess would fit them strangely. And finally, he wants'maakiiess and c'aarity io tne clergy," quali ties wbichjwe imagine the majority of them possess much more of than this Governor. 'J he proclamation is no doubt considered a guberna torial triumph. It will be read with joy in liichmond, it will cheer the heart of every wisher of evil to the United States Government. Is it not cuuningiy done ? It is of couise, a harmless, meek, devout document, penned by the Governor ia the hour of Iiis own peni tence and no doubt after a sincere prayer on his own account, the spirit of which tilied hia heart with chris tian sentiment. Mayor C vnther, being a much smaller potentate than fjTjvr-Seymorr, imagines himself entitled to be less dig nified.

"Look ahere, old fellow, what do you ask for that long tai led jacket. The Captain wan not at all pleased at th ese and other similar remarks upon bis personal apps tr ance, but rode on in silence, with his face flushed : ind hi3eyes darting angry' glances. Suddenly a soldier stepped in tbe middle of the road and respectfully g iv ing the military salute, said : " I hope, Captain, you won't mind the talk of t Jiese here boys.

Qiery Was the Bonhomme Richard a piratical cratf ?' Was she a 'privateer?' Was John Paul J ones a 'pirate ?' These enquiries are made under the imprefsioa of the deluge of 'piratical' phrases which tbe newspapers of the day pour out on the o.-casion of the late naval engage ment between, the Kearsage, Captain Winslow, and the Alabama, Captain Semmes. By the way, it seems that Captain Wirislow of the Kearsage has pat oled tbe crew ot the Alabama. How is that ? Is it customary to parole pirate.-? One thing more in the same connection. We read occasionally in the Republican journals some very hard things about Benedict Arnold, the traitor. Are we to understand that a desperate rebel, who repents of his rebellion and returns to bis allegiance, is u traitor? What of Gen. Gantt of Arkansas ? Iu truth, all .this callirg of loul names which pervades the Republican press Is one of the tvil signs of the times. It is quite natural, however, that men who have outgrown the Constitution of the United States should have forgotten the American Revolution and all its lessons. Thus, and thus only, can we account for the fact that Mr. Bancroft and Mr. Motley, whose fame as histori ans and as men rests upon their respective histories of rebellion, and heroisation ot rebels as such, and especi ally ot the great representative personsot rebellion, Wiiliam.of Orange, George Washington, should have settled down into opinions of legitimacy and ot loyalty and of the divine right oi Government, which would have delighted the nearts ot Philip II, of Spain, and George HI. of England, as they now fit well the polit ical atmosphere of St. Petersburg and Vienna. Exhuming Muskets and Lead. For about five weeks Dast the Confederate forcas iu the- vicinitv of Fredericksburg, consisting mainly of Engineers, have been mining. The first day they started this enterprise they struck a paying vein, and have worked it ener getically ever since. It seeins' that a number of neatly arranged graves attracted their attention, and, upon examining their headboards, it was found they were all in commemoration of " officers." The proportion of officers to men slumbering npon that particular field awakened suspicion, and tbe Confederates thought they j would try a resurrection experiment. The result was j they discovered underneath the sod so sacred, numerous boxes of muskets, lead and other materials of war. They extended their labors, and have succeeded in ex huming eevtral thousand excellent weapons, and a very large quantity of lead, all ot which have been sent to Richmond. Enquirer, IStk inst. IuTEBEsTING TO YaNKEB PURCHASERS OP RtJAL ES TATE. Gen. Bradley Johnson, during the recent inva sion of Maryland, found himself one evening quartered in what was once b.13 own house, which had, however, been sold under the confiscation act some month before. He sent for tbe new owner and asked how long be had occupied it. The reply was "abou? fourteen months." Well," said Bradley, "this house belong to mp, and un less you immedeately pay me the back rent at the rate of $100 per month, there will be a little difficulty between us." The disconcerted occupant stirred round ai.d pret ty soon raised tbe amount which was paid over. Upon being asked if he desired a receipt, he replied that it was not necessary. "Well," Eaid Johnson, "I will give you twenty min utes to move your things out of my houcje, for I am not going to rent it again. I intend to burn it." And burnt it was. The Spirit of 1776. When Charleston was attack ed during the revolution by an immensely superior force of the British, Gov. John Ratledge of South Carolina, sent the following note to the commander of the Fort that now bears his name, General Lse commanded tbe American forces : "Col. Moultrie: Gen. Lee wishes you to evacuate the fott; vou will not, without an order from me. I would sooner cut cfl my right hand than write one." RUTLEDGE. A brilliant victory was the result of that order.

Oa thtir way iome at night, they missed the bridge over the canal in the da.rknefs, and one ot them slipped in. He managed, however, to get hold of a stick of timber and thus saved himself from di own ing. His comrade, who was known as one of the bea. fel lows in the world, if he did afterwards get to bdPrcaidrfit, looked about in vain for some means by which his i.-i iEd could be extricated from his perilous and disagreeable ait nation all the time encouraging him with assurances that he was doing the best he couldjfor him.

Phila,Jgc. The Ivaft In Fw Torlc. Thellerald thu veers to windward on the New York draft : Gov. Seymour wrote to Stanton tbat the quota of New York for the next draft was excessive. Stanton aent the letter to Fry to ask what he should say to that troublesome fellow Seymour. Fry thereupon immedi ately informed Stanton that Seymour must bo a fool. Fry seems to fancy that, as he superintended tb.3 en rollment ard arranged the quota, it is very impertinent for any one to Fay the' quota is not.risht. He even supposes that he has a right to be a little impatient if any one else pretends to knowledge upon any subject at all. This is all that ttyere is in ail the correspondence that has been published about our quota. It does not, of course, touch the difficulty, and the fact remains that New York has a just right to suppose that there is an intention to oppress her by this draft. It is generally supposed that twenty States arj engaged ia the war to support the government. From thesa twenty States the government requires five hundred thousand men, aEd it requires the. one State of New York to furnish one-filth of the number. Now this certainly seem3 to give great importance to. New York ; bnt we do tot tbiou that New York ha3 an importance in the councils of the nation and in the management of tbe war at ail proportionate to it. We assert that the enrollment mast be excessive, and the Government tells us that if it is we umst correct it. Not only ia the enrollment kuown to be excessive by reason of the vast number of aiets resident here, but it ia notorious, and has been shown, that the business men and mechanics in this city are all enrolled twice once at their buineE3 establishments cr places of labor, and once at their home?. Yet the United States Gov ernment goes on n stupidity, and assumes that it must goon until some State functionary, or perhaps the man in tbemooc, can convince its agents that they are io error. Who can convince Fry that there is any little matter worth knowing thaL be djes not know ? He say a that Seymour's comparLn of ten Congres sional district in New York wiih ten in Massachusetts is unfair, because tbe New York districts are densely peopled, while the others arc cot. Did Fry ever hear that Congressional districts were very diilerent in geo graphical extent, and were arranged with a view to equality in populatioa ? Thia idea that the State must correct tbe government errors or suffer by them i3 cot one calculated to retain agreeable reiatic between' the general and State governments. Icdeea, cur system seems to require that in important maters like this thi? govnmmenc ehouid take all pains to convince tho peo ple hat it is right belore it ac;s, inasmuch 03 the fa thers of the republic hnve taught that the people ought to reeiet when tbey OiJy believed tbat they arc wrocg - ed.
