THE WILMINGTON JOURNAL. COSKECERATB STATES OJP AMERICA.. "WILMINGTON, N. CM TBUBSDAY, OCT. 13, 1864. The question cf our continued retention or possible abandonment cf Kichmcnd and Petersburg is one that baa of late been frequently asked and debated. That, however, is tardlj the question after all ; for it would be difficult to cay -what may cot be possible in the chances aEd chaxgea of a great struggle lite that going cn in this country. The real question is its probability Or improbability. We know that not very long since considerable un easiness vras felt both in Richmond and Petersburg, but not eo far as we could Icarn, in official circles. The uneasiness .we believe reached its height at the time when Sues 1 dak appeared to be sweeping up the Val ley with resistless force, carrying everything before him, and threatening to come dowrf upon Lse's flank ircm the West, endangering cur communicatiea with East Tennessee, Southwestern Virginia, and with the whole South. That immediate danger has passed away. Bhemdaj Is once more in retreat down tne vaiiey -Larlt ap pears to have resumed the offensive, and with it to have regained his superiority. The Danville Boad is safe, and Richmond and Petersburg breathe freer. We could hardly throw any dangerous light upon the cumber and position of cur forces in Virginia, even if we woulJ; bat without doing this, or without adding anything to what has already been stated by others, we may express cur assured conviction, that, spite of what may have been said or may hereafter ba said of favour itism to Lee and injustice to Johwstox or others, Lib bas had more than once to provide for the defence cf llichmond under circumstances of greater difficulty and larger disparity of numbers than any other, even of our generals has had to encounter. What Leb has done, we think he can and will do again, If necessary. We doubt wh2ther his greatest trials are not over, and therefore we think that, although it is not impossible that any place or places might have to be given up, or might be given up for strategic reasons, it is yet highly improba hie that Richmond and Petersburg, or either teill ba given up, unlE3 under circumstances very different from thoss now actually existing, cr at present foreseen a likely to come topas3. Of course we cannot pretend to the gift of prophecy. We can oeIv reason from existing facta, and these seem to be the probabilities derivable from a consideration of Ihcae facts. Honor to Avhom Honor Is Dae It is proper to state, even at this late day, that the fine Steamer Night Hawk, Capt. Smiley, from Bermu fla, in trjing to enter New Inlet bar, about a week ago, grounded on the North breaker, about a mile from shore, and was instantly boarded by a launch from the gunboat Monticello, who proceeded to fill the ship's boats with her effisers and crew. The pentinels on Fort Fisher hearing the distant report of musketry gave the alarm, and the Commander of the Fort sus pecting that the steamer aground had been attacked, immediately lighted her up by means of rockets and chelled right and left cf her. At the first rocket the enemy took fright and skedaddled, leaving more than half the officers and crew to take care of themselves. These reacht d the Fcrt in safety. The Yankees did cot leave, however, until they had Bet the Steamer on fire fore-and-aft, and as the wind was strong the flames fpread rapidly. 1 he garrison of Fort Fisher had never seen a ship destroyed under their guns, and were de termined, as it appears, to re3cua this one, and we are informed, in spite of fire fore and aft, the gallant sol diers boarded the Steamer amidships, and, with all the available buckets, commenced to fight the flames. It was not very leng before the fire was got under , and with the assistance of boats and crews from other Steamers, before noon the next day the fira was entirely Eubdued. The steamer was in the breakers, and only half the wcrk of saving her done. The soldiers went to work, unloaded her, and with the aid of negroes at the pumps, enabled the Engineers to. get up steam and bring the Bteamer safely to Wilmington by her own power. Capt. Smiley was captured, but his place was filled by Capt. &Iat, first officer cf the Falcon, who remained here to get the Night Hark cff. We have given the above facts relative to the Night Hawk, because we think the noble conduct of our troops atFort Fisher deserve to have some credit for their heroic efforts in saving a valuable steamer. TJtEtmetlon of a Blatlcttder Repulse of en Attack on the Steamer Condor It is generally known that tbe large, three-funnelled ctecmer Ccndor, from Halifax, N. S., in entering New Inlet Bar a week ?go, was .deceived by the, wreck of the Night Hawk, and ran aground. It appears that it was in attempting to coma ashore from her in a boat that Mrs. Rose Green-row was drowned. The Con dor has been e!ow1v unloading under the 'guns of Fort 1 Fisher, gad a guard, as uaaal, has been kept on her at eight On la3t Friday night the Yankee3 mada an at tempt to board the Condor, to destroy her, i but were gallantly repulsed by Lieut. Sowles, of Co. A, 36th N. C. Troop3, and a detachment cf men. As Boon as the attempt wa3 made Lieat. Sowle3 communicated the fact to Fcrt Fisher, when hsr heavy Fguns burst forth tojight and left cf the Condor. The sacond shell fired to the left of the Condor etruck a gunboat that had accompanied the bor.t party in, and so completely ruined her that she wa3 run ashore oa the South breaker of the bar and abandoned. The enemy set fire to her in Eeveral places, and before morning she was totally des troyed, her magazine having exploded and torn her to pieces. Since this occurrence on Friday cighS last, we are informed that there has been no sign of the enemy tfi the bar at night, and the flaet is hull down during toe day. LATffi.TT FROSX GEORGIA. Our Information from Georgia is highly Interesting, and places affairs iu a much more favorable position than for some time past. It appears that Gen. Hood's forces have effectually destroyed the railroad by which Sherman received his supplies as far as he has gone Altoona, which is about 40 miles, that he has taken every garrison on the rout, including Altoona, the lat ter with 4,000 prisoners and a large quantity of war materials.

White to pass through the lines in order to give his medical services to the Confederate sufferers by yellow fever at that point. The Dr. has had large experience' here and elsewhere, and eould have done much good, iven to the enemy. The latest Yankee news is, that Farragut ha arrived at Fortress Monroe and gone np the James river. This would seem to confirm the report that he is to have something to do with an attack on this place. 44 Borne of the Richmond dailies have started a new Press Association. They are -welcome to do so. Leaving Jack- on, Mississippi, out of the question, we most honestly think that Richmond is the meanest place in the Confed eracy to get dispatches from, if Richmond can do with out the Press Association, we know that the Presa Associ ation ought to be able to 4o without Richmond. We can. Wilmington Journal. How can the Wilmington Journal saddle the " new press association " with those " dispatches " from Jack sou and Bichmoud which bo disgusted its editor, and which were published before the " new association'' was formed ? And with what justice can those dispatches provoke the Journal to such utter indigerence to the association and (" most unkindest cut of all 1") to this great city? It would be too bad that the Journal should leave the Confederate capital and the association entirely in the dark by withdrawing the sunshine of its approbation from them because it bus made so incon sistent & deduction from its own premises 1 Richmond Dispatch. The Dispatch la nnnecessarily captious. What we meant to say, and what we are sorry to have to affirm is, that dispatches from. Kichmond always reached us behind time generally behind the mails,being of course, cf no earthly value. Kichmond always was a bad place to get dispatches from.

Ihb Louisville Journal calcu'-stcs JfcCi-EixAir's chances, and thinks them fair better than Lincoln's. We don't, since Fbkmont has backed cut. At the latest dates from Europe, Con3ols, that is English consolidated bonds, were as low as at any time during the Crimean war. This is attributed in most quarters to alarm felt at the probable approach cf peace in this country on some basis. It is believed that reunited or reconciled America woald certainly be hostile to England. Tek Memphis Appeal has heard it stated on good authority, and docs not doubt it, that the Confederacy has in the Trans-Mississippi Department as many as seventy thousand troops. It thinks, and the indica tions seem to sustain its opinion, that Psiok's force with which he bas moved into .Missouri is no mare raid ing party, but an army of occupation. He and his veteran troops have gone into the State with the view of conquering and staying there. Either Missouri must be given np to Pbicb, or troops must be drawn from the Yankee forces nnder Shkbhax, Gbant, Shzsi dan or somebody else to enable Bcszcsanz to make headway against him. In either case the Confederacy must be the gainer. Poor Maryland. A correspondent of the New York Frees, writing from Baltimore, thus foreshadows the result of the com ing election in Maryland. It remains to be seen, how ever, whether either " the war " or peace-loving friends of Little Mac will tamely submit to the arrangement He says : Inconveisation with one of the moat earnest and inde fatigable Union men of this city, I asked what the feeling was here about the Presidential contest. He replied : 14 There will be no person run 8 gainst Mr. Lincoln in this city or State. We are united on that. The Rebels here are all known, and not one will dare to vote. They most take the oath of allegiance to do so ; that is too bitter a pill for them to swajlow for a jompisg jack like McClel lan." There is no doubt that there is more truth than poe try in the above quoted extract ; and it is more than probable that the same game will be resorted to through out the States composing the present so-called Federal Union. For our own part we have never believed MoClkllah will be able to carry a single State. Lin coln's bayonets will be very apt to settle that matter, whether bis armies in the South and around Kichmond achieve any decided Euccess or not. These are our opinions, and they are given for what they may be worth. We shall see whether we are right or wrong. Tot Council cf State of N orth Carolina, which met in Raleigh on Thursday, the 5th instant, refused to con vene the General Assembly in extra session. The ob ject of the Governor in desiring the extra session, was said to be that certain State officers, now exempt, should be made subject to military duty. We are not certain that this is the fact, but think it ezceediogly proba ble, -. Thb Pbisidint of thb Ccnfkdxhath States bas recently made a tour through some of the most impor tant points at the South and S Kith-West. The Pres ident would appear not enly to have made speeches himself, but also to have been the cause of speeches or letters from otr ers. That he should have spoken, either in response tojcalis made upon him, or for the purpose of cheering tke people up, otd of communicating infor mation deemed desirable to be known, as well as for the purpose of vindicatisg his own course end position, was to have been expected ; and perhaps it was also to have been expected that the fdrce of example should operate to draw others out into the broad field c publicity in the promulgation of their views. At any rate such has b?en the case, and cot only bas President Davis and Genera Is Beauregard and Hardee made speeches at sundry point?, but Vice President Stephen?, Senator H. V. Johnson and Hon. Mr. Boyce, have come out with letters ; while the prats has had its say throogh its numerous channels of communication with the public. We-cannot say that we admire all tht the President hes said or dope. The mannet in which thesa things have been said or done, or at least are reported to have been said or done, is sometimes wanting in temper and courtesy. Where the beat man talks much and fre quently, and under exciting circumstances, it is almost inevitable that he should occasionally put his foot into it." Upon the whole, howev6ver, we think the President has been more sinned against -than sinning We think that if Boma times we may see where he has exhibited etu'ance, we ought not to lose sight of the causes which would sometimes try a saint, and are not alwajs in tho power of a mere maneven the best man to resist. We think his visit to the Southwest has already resulted in good, ind although we cannot en dorse all that Mr. Stephens or Mr. Botes has said, althongh we fear that we can mark an ominous squint ing alter reconstruction, there is yet le?s of this in Mr. Stephens' ittter thnn wa bad been led to fear. Mr. Senator JohnEon's address is excellent in tone, temper and position. It is ecuod and patriotic. It will bs found in our columns to-morrov. Attack oh Wilmington. From Information which tho Virginia Christian Sun cf the 5 oh Inst, has reeeird, that papar thinks there is " .little or no doubt that a fliet is now forming between Norfolk and Old Point to attack Wilmington. Among the number of vessels seen by oar informant, says the Sun, there are two very formidable monitors. That &n attack at an early day upon Wilmington is contempla ted we feel almost certain, and hops the autboiiiies may bo fully prepare i for it." Thosb who are fond of changes in the weather who think variety is the spice of life, had a chance to b satisfied about the close of last week and the beginning of this, for surely tha chaDge was quick enough and se vere enough. There is no saying how many degr the thermometer dropped at once, but quite enough to give sundry persons the broken-bone fever and- bad colds generally. We ace told that there was a consid erable white frost in the country Monday morning and even on cortbern exposures in town. ' This is a good deal earlier cold snap than bas been noticed here for some jears back. Who ws It. A report cf a speech recently made by President Da. vis in Macon, G;orgia, reprrsents that gentleman to have used the term "scoundrel" in reference to some per son who had stated that be, President Davis, had aban. doned Georgia to ber fate. The feet of the President's having ussd the expression at all, and if so, to whom he designed to apply it , still remains in doubt. We our selves hardly thick ha did use it as repcr.ed. It U not his tone; nor, even provided be did use it, do we think he intended to apply it to Governor JostrH E. Brown. Indecorcus enough under any circura stances, it would be rendered doubly so if applied by the President of the Confederacy to the Chief Executive officer of a sovsr eign State. The Atlanta Intelligencer Is of the opinion that the term" was not designed to apply to Governor Brow, but was intended to apply to the writer of an article for that paper, iu which the charge, so galling to the President, was made, and which had the effect of exas perating him and seducing him from his propriety. The attention which this matter has attracted, and thejextreme rarenes of harsh cxpre seions at the South, either through the pressor otherwise, goes to show a marked improvement iu tone, temper and taste an im provement which cannot be too much encouraged and promoted. he common enemy gives us quite enough to do. We must be prepared to bear and forbear with each other. An order is before the City Council of Petersburg, which will, in all probability, bo adopted, to allow no negro, free or slave, .to sell produce at either of the markets of said City, unless he is pre pared with a written permit from his oner, or some responsible person allowing hirrr- that privilege. Would it not be well for our town authori ties to take similar steps for Wilmington, and not only prohibit the seilicg, but also the buying by negroes ? For it is a well known . fct that negroes are inlhe habit of attending market - and buying provisions at any priea that may be demanded. Negroes eeem'able to give higher prices than white people; the proof of this being that they do give such prices. Homicide. We learn that on Saturday the 8th inst., T. J. Sikb8, cf Long Creek District, New Han over county, was shot with buckshot, and almost in stantly killed. Thi3 happened about four miles from towD, at a place kno-.ru as Thornbury, on the west side of the North-East Rivrr. The deceased, with several others, would appear to have been in search of a camp of deserters and runaway negroes. They came upon the camp suddenly and fired, killing one of the negroes. The occupants of the camp returned the fire, shooting Sices as above stated. As yet we have not heard of any captures having been made, although measures are in progress o effect the riddante of the country from 6uch a pestilent gang. Mr. SiKis was some flity or fifty-five years old. Thkrb is an old saying that threatened people live long. Perhaps this saying may apply as well to places as to individuals ; and if so may account for the fact that Wilmington, whose fate has been so long and so frequently threatened or predicted, M still lives," or, in the classic; phrase of a young gentleman who caught the idea but not the words" It ain't dead yet.M Now, once more, and with redoubled force and frequen cy, we are pointed ont as sheep for th slaughter. The knife that is to sever our joint and several jugulars has already been whetted so sharp that like onto Job's war-horseeven the inanimate cutlery smelleth the bat tle afar off thirsteth for our blood, and says ha I ha I Confound the people, we wish they would stop their nonsensa. This thing of having people grinding axes and whetting knives, and fixing up gun-boats, and loading bomb-shells all the time for our special use and behoof, may be fun to outsiders, but we don't see the joke, and more than that, we don t gain in our power of understanding or appreciating it, and don't expect to. Our advice to Ad miral Fakkagut or to any other Admiral whose name so ends, would be to keep away from here. If he comes here he may get hurt in the end of his name. Seriously however, this thing of an attack may be sprang upon -us instantly, as it was at Mobile or Charleston. It bas appeared just &J probable here be- fore as it does now, and still it has not yet come. It appeared no more so at Charleston and yet the city is now under fire. . Thi PaCfioa.tob, aTieatly printed and well-edited weekly paper has just been commenced at Augusta Georgia, by Mfssrs. vv jxsh Blomi, editors and pub lishers. One copy one year, $10 ; do. ix months $8. The Paeiflcaior is designed S3 a represantative organ of the Catholic Church in tb Confederate States, thus supplying a want much felt by ths clergy and laity of that Charth, wba have been wholly without an organ since the discontinuance of tha MisuUmy in Charles ton two or three years ago. As its name Impliss, the Pttilkatos will aid by all honorable means in its power to bring about , the resto. ration of peace. We see no reason why the Pacificator should not re osivs a liberal support from the denomination to which its services are to be givm. We learn that Rev. Dr. Coroobah, pastor afthe Catholic Church here, will rtoeive subscription and forward them to the editors. Thi mails and telegraph bring some speculations relative to the state of eifairs in Georgia. The Rich- mood Sentinel of the 6th inst. contains the following, which will be found interesting : Ferreat and ffc Kllroutti Ptirt mwri and XTood. General Sherman draws hit supplies by a single railroad track from Chattaaocga. To this latter point them are railroads connecting wiU KnoxviLe. Memphis and Nash villa. From Kacxrilie we presume he gets nothing that ouutry has been Aten(oat. Corinth,oa the railroad to Mem phis, is in oar rosspstnn, and the cars are ranciag to that poiat from the Boo'.ti. Car cars also run on a section of of the Memphis and Chattanooga railroad Sfty miles long. Of ocursa this r-jad Is closed to fehstman. Ilia reliance, therefore, is on the Naihvi le connections. It is upon these latter that Forrest it vow operating. There are two lines of snpply iu this direction. One en tering the Memphis and Chattanooga railroad at Decatnr, 111 miles west of Uhatt&nocga. This Is the line on which Forrest first fell, and it has Leen thoroughly diimaatled by hiss. The Yankees th3Kselres say it will take weeks to repair it, even if Forrest lets them. The other lice ofgsup ply leads from Nashvli'd throng n Ifnrfreesboro, TuiJaho ma, Ac, 161 miles to Chattauooga. At tha last accounts Forrest was moving upon this road; and a telegraphic communication with Nashville had been iDtnrropted fcoath of Murfreeabory, the prenaropdon is that "Forrest is at, bis work.

So far, we think, the prospects are that the tide which had been set.'ing strongly against the Confeder acy has at last changed, and that,, almost for the first time, we era Ifkely to have a Fall and Winter cam paign closing as favourably for U3 as the Summer cam paign had-opened. We trust that, with tha capture cf Atlanta, Sherman's progress iu Georgia is stayed, and that he will soon be compelled to take the back track. We trust that, with his entrance into Mobile Bay, what had been designated aa"Farrogut's audacious luck" has closed. We think that !:e will fiJid obstructions at the city which he cannot pass. We ttink a'so that he will find natural obstacles and military defences at Wilming ton that will baffls all hit power. We think that with Bsaubsga.sd and Fohrrst in command at the Southwest, a different state of things will be presented there. We think that Sheridan is nearly played out in the Valley. We, the Confeder ates, have moat decidedly got the upper hand in the trans-Mississippi, and upon the whole, the skies appear to be bright and brightening they aro certainly im proving. The ironclad ram Alexandria has put to eca followed by two vessels, one laden with her armament and the other with her ammunition. It is belived that she will be heard from in dne time and in the right quarter. Is is not known how she got out, the British Government having done all it conlu to prevent her sailing. We find this paragraph going the rounds of our ex changes. The vessel is properly the Alexandra, named so in honor of the Princess of Wales, daughter of the King of Denmark. She i3 not an iron clad, but sloop- of-war ot nearly the same-class as the Alabama, though said to be stauncber than that vessel. A tkleqrau from Augusta, dated the 0tb, and pub listed in cur paper Saturday, slated that three army crops cf Sherman's forces had left Atlanta and occupied a strODg position on tie rail road at Vining'a Station to and above Marietta, &c, &o.

Tha oniftliditijn of regiments in Hardee's corps threw out quite a large nuuiber of officers, from Coiouois durn. The supernumerary officers have been given furloughs of seventeen days, for the pnrpose of enabling them to recruit new commends where, you can possibly guess. Sherman is supposed to nave in Atlanta abont one month's supply of provisions, which, by issuicg half rations, would enable him to remain ir. Atlanta about sixty days, even with his communication cat. His movements, if he ia con templating any, are kept as secretly as ours. Our troops are in better spirits than they have been siace the tall of Atlanta. An advance movement you know, is calculated to enthuse the most despondent.

The loss of the brle would have been a serious one, had not our pontoons ceen at hand ; as it was, however, a very good bridge was constructed ia a short time, and the wagon trains went over as usual this forenoon. The report of the capture of Borne by Wheeler has bees confirmed by parties who reached here this forenoon, di rect from his command.

The Richmond Whig of the 8th inst., has the follow ing summary of the nni on tne jxertn side oi tne James on Friday last : , Inquiries at the usual sources of information, np to a quarter past nine o'clock, produced no official intelli gence concerning the progress and results of the fight ing yesterday, along our lines on the North-side. From a gentleman who left headquarters yesterday evening at about 4 o'clock P. M.. we are enabled, however, to present a tolerably concise account of the operations of the day. . : - - , According to our informant's statement, the firs fighting occured at Battery Harrison. At about 8 o'clock, A. M., our men moved against the work the enemy having placed themselves in' position, some dia tanca from tht Battery to meet the attack. In the coa flict that ensued tbe Yankee Iofs being very heavy at this point our forces made a victorious charge, result ing in the driving of the Yankees into theiort. Once under the protection of the defences of the fcrt, however, the enemy rallied sufficiently to successfully resist ths further advance of our men. Th's indecisive success on tbe part of the Yankees closed tbe operations of the day near Uattery Harrison our forces-holding the ground upon which the battle had been waged. All accounts concur in plmcing our loss at a very low figure, whilst that Ot the enemy was very severe. About an hour after tbe commencement of ths fight at Battery Harrison, namely, at 9 o'clock, our forces struck the right of the Yankee line on the Darbytown road, driving the enemy iu confusier?, throuarh their works, for over two miles, and capturing some three or four hundred prisoners, and nine pieces of artillery. The ecffagemtnt at this point is reported to have been the heaviest of the day, and our euccess was not ob tained without a valuable sacrifice of life. The gallant Gen. Gregg, commanding a Texaa brigade, here fell in the advance. To the heroic enorts and unurmg loaus try of this noble cfScar much of our saceeeefjl defenc; of the North-side lately baa been due. Anaoncr other casualties, we have to report : General Bratton. of S. C, budiy wounded : Colonel H&akeil, commandirff 7tb S. C. infantry, severely wounded in the face, and llsjor ila5kei', of tie S. C. artillery, also wounded. Rumor sfated that General Gary had been killed, but we are "happy to think thrit this report 19 without foundation. We could trace it to do reliable source. Our loss in the battle oa the D ifbyton Road, like that in the operations near Battery Harm-on, is report ed as inconsiderable, in view ot the 8ult:s3 obtaine-d. The loss sustained by the enemy, however, is reported severe. In the afternoon, sub.rqnent to the cessation of ac tive hostilities, comoarauve o liet reiemd alocr tbe linos. The day's work, altogether, w i? decid-diy in our favor, and leaves our trooua iu excellent conditioa for future operations. vr ' -W IT l Jt At. - V B .A vvb puonsa io-aay me procseaicgs oi u ids ins cf citiz-ns for tbe purpo3i cf continuing in exist ence a Relief Association in the town of Wilmington We are well aware of the benefits bellowed upon the poor and s!eedv by the A33cdatioa cf gentlemen du ring the past year, and it affords us no utile pleasure to sea that the " institution " is not to be aliowed to die out. It ia right that genttemen who labored assidu ously for twelva months in so benevolent a cause, should be relieved and others substituted in their places; We trust the present Committee will be able to accomplish all the ends desired, and that the Commissioners of the town will cheerfully aid them in tfceir praiseworthy ob jects, as they are requestel to do by "resolution of the meeting, as will be seea below. The poor must bs cared for. It wilt be seen that the wood committee have already commenced on their duties, and we have no doubt tbe call for labor they make in to day's pap will be cheerfully responded toby our friends iu the country. The proceedings are as follows : Town Mettlng, Wilmington, N. C, Cct. 4th, 13C4. An adfouTned meoting of the citizens by request of Eis- H onor, the Mayor, was held this evening for the purpose of hearing the report'or a Committee appointed at a meet ing held on the evening of 30'h September, to re organise an association to procure supplies of food ana fuel fer the poor of the Town.

Indeed, it is matter of surprise, that snob an immense amount of good Moa!d have been accomplished with so lit tle foss and show nine-tenths of tfc eommuaity would have been in isaorance ss.to its existence, save far the weekly reports of its President ; yet this Association has placed bread and meat in the months of six hundred indi gent persons, and enabled hundreds cf others to purchase provisions at greatly reduced prises. The objects andim portanoe of noeh a Society must be apparent to the mind of every reflecting raia in tha eommueitv a&d whfla so mach good has been acoomplished'bv the present Assoeta tion, yet it trust be admitted that bad the cammaai.y been alive to the necessity that existed, mueh greater rtau! would have Veea attained.

The undersigned, appointed by their fellow-citizens to procure wood for ite use ot the poor of the Town, desire to hire, for the balance of the year, TEN WOOD COT TJ3RS ; fair wages will be paid and hands cared for. We want to put 2,000 cords of wooa.here by the 1st of Jan'y. To do this thirty Wood Cutters are cecaEsary. We appeal with confidence to our friends in tha country to help us out; if you can spare a hand for a wetk or two send him along with his ex and allowance; if not able to spare the allowance send the hand aad we will lead htm. Those willing to donate wood at points on the riv&r will pleas advise ns, those wiilire to Live standinar wood near the river will let us know at once. At small expense and in convenience many can contribue iareely to mis object, the importanee of which cannot be over-estimated. Many a toiling woman whose heart is wrunsr by tbe nvessttv of asking charit r could furnish food for herself and lit'le ones by her own labor, eou.d she purchase fuel at a low price.

The pn not tha wora. must, ai ihv soive our aiiucvmes. and i sooner the controversy can be transferred from the Held of Dame 10 me ioruia oi iju uuuuramo Drouairon,l the batter it will be for both governments. I agree with you that tha peace movement at tbe North should be dnly encouraeed-at the South. To this end, we should lose bo occasion, nor omit any proper means to convince the North that we are still, as we always have been, wiUicg to adj ant the diracalties between m, upon nonorane terms. Wei have avowed our desire for peace and readiner-s for ngo-I tiation from tbe very beginning of the war, in every form J in which orgar.is?d communities can give expression tol their will. We have avowed it in Executive messages, ia Lee illative, resolves, atd Congressional manifestoes. What more can we ao, in view oi cur situation r uiaaiy wonld I An more, if it were possible. But I do not believe that it is. We can inaugurate no movement mat would lead i to the result so earnestly desired by every friend of human-i Uy, and so urgently demanded by the interests of bothec-t tions. Our military situation wonld seem to forbid ven the Attempt. The capture of Atlanta and Richmond ia re-j garded by the authorities of the United States, as a'l that t 18 nccesnarjr iut uui uiuwo uujupauuu. xixvj uuva cap- tnred Atlanta, and Gen. Grant Buys the arly capture of Richmond is certain, beyond a doubt. What, nnder the f circumstance, wouiu un iu" pivunvm tutoi w any peaon i movement at the 8outh ? Would it conciliate ths N jrth 7 . Would it inspire the government of the Doited utM8 Wita a sense of justice, or ferbearanoe, or magnanimity ? Ho tar from this, it wonld be construed into' intimidation on ourj part, and it would stimulate and intensity the war spirit of , the North. It would be regarded as our oonfeesion of over- j throw and the premonitory symptom of onr readiness t- sue for mercy on the bended knee of nncondit onal surrender.. Tn view of the avowed object cf the war on the part of tbe Northern Government, it is vary certain that there oan be uo peace, upon any honorable tsrms, so long as its pre sent rulers are In power. The President of the United States has proclaimed emancipation and his deter mination to enforce it by the sword. He has annourced, in advanca ef any formal cff jr of negotiation on our part, that he will not treat with rebels (as he ia pleaied to call the people of the Confederate Btates) except upon the con dition tha we lay down our aims, abandon slavery, ard return to tbe Dcion. He will then grant srch term i as may be compatible with his sense of Jnsiije, liberality and mpgoaiiimity. 8a lorg, therefore, as its present rulers are in power, and this policy shall be adhered to, there can be no peace be ween us und the Government of the United Btates, which will not bring npon ua confljsatloa. social disorganization, poverty, degradation, and Intolerable dis honor. What worse would be our doom if subjugated by mi i'ary p-wer ? Sutjigafian ii no worse than tbe sab mihsiou offered to ui as the only conditioa of peace. It would at lekst save to us our houor. If the people ot the Uuited States w:ll change their rulers; if they will repudiate the avowed policy of sahjigation ; it ther will Teturn to a practical reccgaition of the trus prin ciples which underlie tho whole structure of American governments', organized to secure and maintain constitu tional liberty, tho door will soon be opened for an bonora hle Aad Uatinsr neaco. Peace. UDOD any other terms, i.i. . A 1 -I v A k A wn.(. vl a ...... - . . rvolves the los of liberty, because it will be the resilt of lores not of choice and compact between co-equal and sovereign Btates. Peace, upon any other terms, means despotism, enthroned in empire not republicanism found ed upon "the consent of the governed" and organized tk in such form as to them shall seem moat likely to eflect their safety and bappinens-" This is the kind of peace which the Usited States now propose to enforce uoou the people of tbe Confederate States the peace of death tu constitutional liberty the stagnant peace tf de.po-.idm the peace which chains and piinoa-bars impose. I lock wiih anxiety to the approaching Presidential else tion in the United Htates. Fot although tbe Chicago plat form falls brlow the great occasion, and tbe ooxiuee mtill lover, yet the triumph of the Dsmocratio parly of tho North will certainly secure a temporary suspension of hoi ti'ities atd an eff irt to make peace by an appeal to reason. They cbnfess that four years of bloody war, as a means of restoring the Uuion, has proven a tailuie. They declare tbat the true principles of American government have bqen disregarded and trampled under foot, by the present Executive of tho United States. Their success will bring a change cf administration and, with that, a change of pol icy, n will do more, and what is of infinitely greater im portance, it will bring the two contending parties face to face, in tbe arena of reason and consultation. Thea and there can be discussed tbe history of all our difficulties, tbe principles iavolved in the bloody issue and the rospec:ivj interests of both governments. Such is my conviction of the omnipotence of truth and right, tbat I feci aa abiding confidence, that an honorable peace would ultimately spring from such deliberations. In their loan cherished devotion to the Union cf ths Btates a sentiment wnicn challenges my reaped the psiple of the North, It seems to me, have fallen into two grave and capital errors. Oa the one baud, they auach au auduj iin portaLce to.the mere fact or form of Uulos, ignoring tr.a principle and objects of the Union, and forgetting that it cesses to be valuable when it fails to secure that objtct and maintain thoe 'principles. On tbe other hatd, iney thick that the States of the Confederacy have separated from the United States, in contempt of that Union ; in a wanton disposition to iasuit its flig and to destroy (ho gov ernment of whica it is the emblem. Bith opinions aro wrong. The old Union was au organization ol States. Bat it was more : it was such an organization, founded upou gnat principles, in order to give the most efficient scouii- ty torS8 maintenance of these very same principles. -These principles are the sovereignty of the States ; the right of the people to govern themselves; tho right ot each State to regulate its own domestic afUirs ; to establish its own system of l&'ior, aad to pursue ics own oareer of en terprise, subject to no restrictions except such as are ex pressed in tli Federal Constitution. Oa these tho Unloa was based, and constituted the uolema guarantee of all, that each State should be protected iu tutir undisturbed er jijruent. When it failed to-do this, or what is worse, vueu its government passed iuto the administration of those whose avowed policy and measures must lead to tha overthrow of those principles, it was virtually at au end, and in their opinion, ceased to be valuable to the p?opleot the Confederate States. Hence, secession was not resort ed to merely to throw ofl the Union. Our people loved the Union, acd honored its once gloiiooi flig, for tho rich mem ories that clustered around It. They left it with a reluctance and regret to which history will scarcely do justice. TLey were, aa they are now, wedded to tne principles on which tha Union was founded; they separated from it, but to vindicate and maintain theui. Whether they acted wisely or unwisely must be left to the impartial arbitrament of time and coming events. Rut nj people were evar prompted to so momentous a step by loiticr devotion to constitutionrl liberty. For this, we are denounced as rebels against the government of tne United States, and threatened with the bloody doom of traitors ; our country is invaded, our homes desolated aad our peo ple slain by hostile armies. We am told lh-t we niun be conquered or exterminated. Iho North is fighting us to maintain tbe mere fact or form of Union, by force. We are defending ourselves, to preserve the great priaciplts wLich "lay at the foundation Of the Union, it we bo reoeis agiiast tne one, if 'I sposed to bandy epithets, we might reply that ttey who advocate and wage this war against ua, are traitore to the othsr. If there ii wrong on ither or bvtn sidis, let impartial h.ttory decide who aie tho greater einucr. This is tne naked ttuth. Ween thus viewed, how cruel and unuatural is this war ! Way should the Noth tight us ? Especially why should the thousands of the pro feescd constimtidnai mau or the North lend their counten ance aiid aid to our subjugation ? Wo are sir Jggliug for principles which ehjuid be as dear to them as tf-.ey are to us. Do thsy not see tuat cur overthrow will do tbe downiail oi constitutional liberty fatal to. their fxeedojj as well as outs the ioauguratioa qi aa irre sponsible and unlimited despotism? Corrtct ideas ar slow ia tceir progress cf leavening the mass o'mind; truth is ever trampled upon, when passion gains erf ay.

Tnen peace will colqg, predicated lupoa thoas pr-cii iss'io esaent al to both governments, aud all our a.i.tc6 a ,i difficulties solved ia conformity to the best in-te.-fcot. vi i,ae parties. In view of our position, permit me to repeat, I do not see tow we can inausorate any movement li&ely to lead to an.hcaorabie peace. We are the party assailed. Peace move ments maai come irom me assamug party, x wou.d not bj understood however, as standing on any poiat of etiquette, as to ho should take the initiative I have no st'en feel ing. Ail I mean to say is, thafin view of the avowed pol icy of tLe United States Government, any advance oa onr part is already rejected, before made, and tnat wa canniit make any upon tne conditions announced by its President. I would not heoitate to take the initiative it .there sra the least hope o a lavoratle response or aa honorable result. Rut u tne uoveromeui or tbe United States should pass in to other hands, repudiate tbe policy of subjugation, and in dicate a dears fcr negotiation, 1 would, it Lead be, hare our Government propose it certainly, accept the offer cf it, ii tendered Dy tne J? eaerai authorities, bach I believe to be the spirit acd temper of our people. Such I am sit- isued is the sentimeut or tne rresiaeat of the Confederate States, tie baa avoed it oa every ocoasioa which requir ed him to alia Je to the subject. The North caa have peaco at any mcmoiit. AU that they need to do ia to let us alone ceeee to fight us ; or if they prefer, agree to negotiate a peace on terms nonoraDie to Doth partiej. We are willing always nave Deen wining, and shall continue to be win ing. Rat as long as they light us, the war must continue. For what caa we do. but deiend ? We have no power to stop their fighting short of unconditional submission t o the terms anuouueed by the President of tho United States. Ate our Doonle Drenared for neace udoo those terms 7 It ia an insult to ask the question, unless indeed, we sup pose, contrary to the whole history or our struggle, that they did not count the cost ia the beginning, and have no J iss appreciation of tha mighty pi iaciples involved. Tne President of the Confederate btatss never uttered anything more true, than whoa he said to.the unofficial messenger of Presideut Lincoln, that ''we aro not Ughtwg for slavery, but for the rigat of s:lf governmsnt." . . So long as tne people will keep this great truth in view and obey the inspiration which it should kindle in the breasts or freemen, way cannot be conquered. j.uey may have their land desolated, their property destroyed, their towns ana cities Durneu and sacsea, out sujugatou wj never can do. we cannot have peace so long as tne pres ent rulers o( th) United States axo ia power.
