1 be Prospect of Peace.
No one can fail to observe what would, in
au> other people than the Yankees, be consid
ered strong evidences of a great reaction among
the masses of the North—favoring the recog
nition of our independence, and the establish-
meat of peccable relation* with us. How far
this is geuuiue, we are at some loss to judge.
The unprincipled and perfidieue character of
the Northern politicians-especially those in
power, is enough to make us distrust every one
of their professions—no matter what thsy may
be, nor with what apparent sincerity they are
put forth. Prom time to time, we have laid
before our readers the “peace straws” from the
North. Our Virginia correspondents have late
ly referred to this matter—particularly the
letters of “ D. L. D.,” in our issue of the 27th,
and “ A.” in cur paper of yesterday. To day,
also, we publish some articles taken from
Northern journals, all pointing more or loss in
that direotion.
This is a sut ject that is interesting to all our
readers; for,' however just our canse may be in
a defensive war, justice does not require, and
no one desires to wage, an offensive war against
our enemies. We all want peace as soon as it
can be obtained on honorable terms; there
fore, every indication of it, is bailed with pleas
ure by every man, woman and child in the
Confederacy.
It is difficult to understand how the Yankee
Governmentcan long carry on war. They have
not the means to do so with, and they have
nothing to figbt about; and further, their own
people, it would seem, cannot fail to discover
the utter hopelessness and futility of prosecu
ting this war, and will either demand of their
rulers the inauguration of a different policy,
or hurl them from power and fill their places
with other tueo.
This, however, is mere speculation; for while
we know the Government has not means to
carry on the war, and cannot legitimately ob
tain such means; while we know they have
nothing to fight about; and while we have
maoy evidences of a swelling popular tide of
rc&ction in favor of peace: still we know not
what violent und unlawful means they may
resort to, to procure means; we know not how
much hypocricy there may be in the profess
ions of those who are advocates of peace„^hile
we do know the base perfidy and treachery of
those who have already inaugurated a war
without cause, and whose grasping propensi
ties have always prevented them from scrup
ling at the means by which they obtained other
people's goods.
While, therefore, wo shall hail peace with
joy when it ia obtained ; and while we shall re
joioe at every evidence of its early approach
we warn our people not to be lured from their
place of safety on account of it. Don’t, for a
moment, slack your seal—no matter what may
transpire, until peace is not only proclaimed,
but eatubiahed Continue to organise, equip
aod send out your companies. Continue youi
subscriptions to the Con federate Loan. Let our
Congress and Governmentcontinue their opera-
tons just the same as if there was no prospect
of peace in a hundred years. The North will
not do to trust an inch; and we earnestly ad
vise our Government, when a treaty of peace
is concluded, to keep our full Army in the field
till a/ter their a in disbanded. This is our only
safety, in our judgment.
Further : We hope Congress will pass such
laws as will prevent too great an influx of
Yankees among us after the war. We are now
cut off from them—we hope forever. We want
no more association with them this side of
eternity; and if they bavethe same instincts
in the spirit land that they have on earth, we
have no doubt that “all the world and the rest
of mankind” will be compelled to “secede"
from them, whether it be ia hell or heaven.—
If any way can be devised to do so effectually,
we want commercial and social intercourse
with them entirely cut off. Let us open up
trade with Europe and anywhere else that our
supplies can be drawn from. If we go to trad
ing with the Yankees after this war, we shall
be drawn into an unhealthy affiliation with
them, sooner or later. Then, trade with them
must be prohibited.
But there is another dangvr. If we success
fully cut off all commerce with them, they will
next attempt to come down here in great flocks
and set up their merchandise and manufac
tures among us—introduce their customs and
ideas, with all the baloful influences of a man
ufacturing and trading people. Our morals
will be corrupted—our institutions perverted ;
and, in process of time, we shall be reduced to
another New England, with all its Infidelity,
Puritanism, hypocricy, corruptions and loath
■omeoess. We should have our own comnderce
in our own hands, which should be only suffi
cient to supply our own wants, letting our own
people enjoy whatever pnfita that may arise
f om it; and not get up a trafficking ttimulua,
b«youd our own necessities, which cannot have
any other than the mosf deleterious influen
ces.
We should also make a particular point upon
not allowing any manufactures to be estab
lished among os, that will, in any degree, come
in conflict with our agricultural interests. We
are an agricultural people. This is not only
our main interest; but it ia through this inter
est. properly cared for and attended to, that
our morals, our integrity, our institutioos, oar
religion and all that now makes us the great
est aod best people on earth, are to be preserv
ed. If this interest, as it now existe, is auper-
oeded, we are uodono forever; end towhstever
extent we get ap en interest that will conflict
with it, to that extent will the seeds of deoay,
ruin sad death be sown among us.

Camf two Milba Nort* or Wivcbrstir, )
June 2Stb, ltd! J
Dear Taylor, (and Drug Store): My sudden
departure from my buainta* in Atlanta was no
lees a surprise to mo then it wee perhaps, to
my patrons. My brothar was in Richmond
with a Volunteer Company of about seventy-
five men, end I learned that he had telegraph
ed home for more men ; "that he could n<t be
mustered into service with hie present num
ber. I went home to see about it, end found
twelve young men anxious to go and join my
brother’s Company, provided necessary ar-
raogment for their transportation could be
made. There wee no transportation offioer for
volunteers in Atlanta. The young men, being
the comrades of my ohildhood’s home, de
manded that I should go with them, end see
that their expenses were refunded to them.—
Thinking my brother on heavy expense, and
not able to be mustered in, I hastened to join
him. But, before I reached Richmond, I learn
ed Col. Bartow’s Regimsnt had been mustered
in, and ordered to Harper’s Ferry, and expect
ing battle. This news excited the boys, and
we hastened on, nothing of very particular in
terest occurring until we reached Winchester,
a small city of about six or seven thousand in
habitants. Here we learned that our troops
had burned all the Government buildings and
property, and blowed up the bridge, Ac., at
Harper’s Ferry, and was en route for Winches
ter—there being no chance for a fight. I
waited ell the next day with less pationceand
more anxiety to meet the boys—yea, the army
—than I ever exj erienced before. About mid
night, we heard that the army was marching
back, that the enemy bed crossed the river at
Williamsport, a small place about twenty-five
miles above Harper’s Ferry, and was march
ing on Martinsburg, some twslve or fifteen
miles on the Virginia side. Next, a courier
came in at full speed, and said the two armies
were in tan miles of each other, advancing in
line of battle. Well, Doc, I have had a heap
of fun, seen a sight of folks, and had lota of
strange feelings, but it does seein to me that I
was the outfeelingest man on eartb, just about
the time I heard that news. In the first place,
all the brothers I have were there ; then the
Atlanta Grays, Confederate Volunteers, Davis
Infantry— in fact, out of the two Georgia Reg
iments, I knew half the men—all there on the
very point of battle—I, with twelve as brave
boys as ever lived, was within a few miles of
our friends, begging citixens, militia officers,
ordinance officers, and trying every way to get
arms, aod could not, for money nor love. I
thought it was no time to be fooling about mil
itary formality, and we had no time to wait to
receive orders from headquarters to draw arms
formally. I knew where the arms were stored
in Winchester, and knew there was but one
guard at the door; so I went up and attacked
the guard with my Bowie-knife, and the boys
got their muskets. The guard reported me to
the officer of the day, who came immediately
to airest me, but when I told him the circum
stances, he gave me his hand in friendship,
and his official signature to keep the arms. So
we hastened on, but had not gone far before we
met a messenger, who informed us that the en
emy bad gono back, and our forces would make
their next head-quarters at this place, Win
chester. But we kept on until we met them.
Notwithstanding they had been on constant
march over a turnpike rocky road, for 00 or 70
miles, tired and hungry, having only half-ra
tions for several days, the boys sent up shouts
of joy, and received us with open arms, and
were clamorous to hear the messages from the
loved ones at home. The Echols Guards, from
Merriwether county, Capt. C. W. Howard, were
detailed as picket guard at Harper’s Ferry, and
kept their post for six days, on half rations,
without tents, and many without even a blan
ket. They have not received their tents yet,
and have slept all the while in the open
Not a man complained, quailed or failed, and
are as lively this day as I ever saw them
have captured two men that I thought unsound,
and give them over to the authorities.
Col. Hammond, of your city, arrived in camp
a few moments ago.
I have just learned that a Colonel and Lieu
tenant of the Federal army were captured iu
Martinsburg. They are in custody at Winches
ter.
Doc, please show this letter to Mr. Mayson,
and tell him to get George Adair to cull from
the first page a notice why I left so suddenly.
I write in haste, on a knapsack, while the
boys are talking to me about home, and in the
midst of camp confusion. Tom Cocper is now
Msjor Cooper—Tom Lewis Captain Lewis.

Richmond or Washington f
That’s the question! Shall Geu. Beaure
gard dine ia Washington, or Gea. Butler in
Richmond ? There is no avoiding the issue.
They are packing in Washington; we hav’ul
heard of any booy packing in Richmond !—
Nevertheless, if ws listen to the Yankee edit
ors aod to their programmes, it is very doubt
fol If any of us will dint any mors. Certain
it is, thsy can beat creation in laying out
campaigns. Thoy set out witli 600.000 men,
(on papsr ) They throw forty or fifty thou
sand into Fortress Monroe; another fifty
thousand between Alexandria and Arlington
Heights ; fifty thousand more at Hagerstown
and vicinity, to operate against Harper's
Ferry; twtn»y thousand at Qraften; thirty
thousand at Charlsston, Kacawha; and a
hundred thousand a: Cairo, to invade the
Mississippi Vallsy ; another hundred thou
sand in Washington and Maryland; the whole
ferae ready te move at a moment's notice and
si malt anno aely. If 600,000 ha nos enough te
subdue tha Rebels, make it a million l A
million it Is, and with the doubled battalUons
the work of subjugation is complete! And
S at Butler Is not in Richmond; nor do ws
ear that Beauregard is soy further from
Washington !—Richmond Whig, 26/A iital.
Action and Reaction.
It is perhaps an inevitable, v bile U is a
very painful eharaoteristie of Amsrieaa poli
ties io the present times, that differences of
opinion beget violent personal animosities.—
Hitherto there has been no time when Amer
icans, differing from each other however re-
motely, could not peaoeftilly and quietly dis
cuss the most radioal questions; and now
there is ne trouble la talking freely one’s
opinion of direot taxation or the tariff; but
when any lino of policy relatiog to tbs war is
brought up as a subject of dieoussion, the ex
cited state of men’s minds become maiofest,
and if there be any great difference of opin
ion, the result is apt to be a pretty severe use
of words, If not actually a resort to blows.—
Ooly a few weeks sgo, the newspapers aboun
ded in aeoounts of men beiog knocked down
in the street for what wan styled “treasonable
sympathiesand some of the newspapers
endeavored to fan the flame by heading euoh
statements with “served him right.” or some
thing similar. This state of affairs is fortu
nately past; but men's minds are still strong
ly influenced by their feelings, and too many
are impatient of any voice that speaks of
pesce.
The newspaper press has been greatly to
blame in this matter. Some weeks ago tbe
word “tresson” had sequired a new and broad
signification in the toluenes if the republican
papers. It was bandied about with a freedom
that waa appalling. Tbe “liberty of tbe
press,” which here means tbe right to oall
any man a scoundrel, a ibief or a traitor that
you dare take the liberty with, this liberty of
tbe press bas bad the freest exercise. Tbe
rule has been, “if any man differs from you
as to the propriety of war, call him a traitor
if any man thinks tbe South not starving,
call him a traitor; if any man says there is a
Christian South of Virginia, call him a trait
or ; if any man does anything to calm the
public exoitement, call him a traitor; if any
man says this war is an anti-slavery war, call
him a traitor; if any man says this war is
not a war for extermination of slavery, call
him a traitor.”
In short, whatever is said, whatever is pro
posed, whatever is advocated that does not
meet the views of the war newspapers, is
treason. There are exceptions, it is true,
depends very much on who says tbe thing —
Thus, for a Republican editor le prepose to
“supersede the President,” is not treason.
For a man of tbs same sort to say that Gen
Soolt is too old and too slow, and that we
want John C. Fremont, or some such man, in
his place, and that we want tbe Pennsylvani
ans to march on Harper’s Ferry, without
wailing for Washington orders—this is not
objectionable. For an out and out abolition
sheet to print daily in its head line that “tbe
Constitution of tbe United States is a cove
nant with hell,” is not treason. For the Re
publican papers to argue that in war times
the letter of the Constitution is to be disre
garded, and tbe President of the United
Slates ought to assume and exercise the pow
ers of a dictator is not treason.
We might extend the illustration, but these
are sufficient. Instead of the former frank
and hearty style of discussion, if perchance
a peace-loving newspaper treads on the toes
of those warlike editors, tbe vocabulary of
epithets is exhausted in the present style of
reply. We counted the word “liar” repeated
some ten times in the editorials of one paper
a few days since.
We are not censors of the press or people,
but we record with hopefulness the change
that is coming over our people in this respect,
and tbe disgust which good men everywhere
are beginuiug to feel at the amount of vitu
peration which has been made use of. One
of tbe New York papers a lew days since de
voted an editorial to rousing the North to ven
geance, even to wiping out in blood the in
sults of the Southern newspapers in calling
us bad names, utterly forgetful that it bad
been for years steadily calling slavery “the
sura of all vallanies,” and charging every
slaveholder with being guilty of a violation of
•very command in the decalogue! Thus its
own call to vengeance seemed a quasi justifi
cation of the rebellion.
But with lime comes reason. Tim
quers all things. The most bitter vengeance
will finally fail. The strongest passions sleop
calmly after a little. The more terrible the
tide or tbe flood, tbe more swift is the ebb.
Already, though violent men continue to oall
names aod abuse men’s reputations, already
the effect is past, and the argument that a good
cause requires no such assistance is beginning
to bs felt. Let not the reaction be too strong.
Coming, as it is now, very rapidly, (he dan
ger which experience teaches is, that io reac
lions men too frequently lose all sense of right
and only remember their own wrong. The iu-
venlor of the guillotine is said to have suffer
ed by it. The promoters of tbe maddest re
publicanism in France went in hordes to the
block. But we trust that the American mind
will reach its old balance point without those
great reactions which ordinarily occur in such
cases.
Three months sgo tbe immense majority of
Americans in the North believed and advoca
ted the idea that the peaceable acknowleJg
ment of the Southern Confederacy was pre
ferable to war. Tbe leading republican news
paper in this eity even pronounced the right
of tbs Southern States to establish their own
form of Government to be as clear as that of
the American Colonies to revolt from England
in 1776. The same papsr declared that Fort
Sumier was only built for tbs protection of
Charleston, aud not for offensive purposes
against that city, and advocated tbe evacua*
tion of tbe Fort. The universal American
mind was averse to the idea of war.
Even among men who favored a war against
tbs Colton States, it was common to hoar con-
vsrsition like this : “ If Virginia secedes, are
you in favor of war?” “Virginia will never
secede; you cannot kick her out.” “But if she
does, aod North Carolina with her.whai then?”
“Why, 1 am not a fool; if to largo a portion
of tho Union as that secede, then I think wo
may as well give it up and acknowledge them.”
Tbia was tbs aoospted doctrine of tbs emirs
demooratio party, and large numbers of re
publicans openly advooetsd it. Truths are
omnipotent. That is truth to- d> 7 which was
truth a month or three months ago to- day.
What prooesa will men’s minds have to go
through after the late convulsions ? How mi
ny oscilaiions shall ws see, before thsy souls
back upon ths truth thsy believed, In their
former calm and sober moments?—N. Y.

Vtews of Senator Crittenden on tha War. j
Tha Hon. John J, Crittenden made a speech
at Lexington, Kentucky, last week, thus de
fining his position on ths war question :
Tbs first groat object which bs ardently de
sired, was that this war should bs put an end
to; that tbs longer it continued, and tba mors
devastating It became, ths mors difficult
would be its solution; and to ths end of paefi-
oation and the restoration of ibo kindly feel
ings which once prevailed among ths happy
and prosperous people of a common govern
ment would bis whole energies bs devoted, if
it should bs tbe pleasure of the people to con
fer on him the responsible trust of represent
ing them. To a war of suhjugatiou bs was
opposed; and while bs was satisfied that tbe
government did nothing more than its duty
in tbs preparation it had made to defend tho
National Capital, yet be would be prepared at
aoy moment to lend a bolpiog band to arrest
ths further progress of this unnatural conflict.
Mr. Lincoln, he declared, was not the Pres
ident of his selection, and he was neither re
sponsible for nor prepared to sustain ths pol
icy of that functionary. Lincoln, however,
wav not tbs government, although obarged,
for tbe time, with its administrative functions;
and, while he repudiated all allegiance to him
or his creed, he was, as be had always pro
fessed to be, loyal to the Constitution of his
country, under which the nation bad been so
prosperous, the people so free and happy, and
tbe blessings of which are priceless and innu
merable.
Mr. Crittenden deelared that, in his judg
ment, every means should be resorted to to
restore the blessings of peace, to preserve tbe
Union, and to band down, unimpaired, tbe
noble institutions which have come down to
us hallowed by the sanction of our revolu
tionary fathers. To that end he declared first
that the Southern States should present to
Congress, when it meets, a fair statement of
the grievances under which they labor ; that,
when presented, ths Congress of the United
States should promptly grant a full measure
of redress for those grievances; and that, if
CoDgress should not do so, he would not vote
one dollar to tbe prosecution of tbe war. In
tbe next place, if ths South should fail to pre
sent their grievances with a view to adjust
ment, then that the North should promptly
concede such assurances of redress aud secu
rity as were just to the South ; and that be
sides these, all other possible means should be
employed that would have the effect of main
taining the Union, preserving the Govern
ment, and putting a period to the unnatural
war in which the country is involved. In the
event that all the means employed for this
pstriotio and noble purpose should fail, and
tbe war should still rage on, then he wos of
opinion that Kentucky, poising herself upon
her proud position of neutrality, should sum
mon all her judgment aud reason, and, dis
carding all passion and prejudice, should
decide for herself what position she should
assume. He declared that sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof; and that while he was
not now, under the oontinually shifting scenes
of the political drama, prepared to say what
position Kentucky should occupy in the con
tingency mentioned, he would be prepared,
as a native and loyal son of Kentucky, to fol
low her destiuy, be it what it might.

We find the following item in tho Richmond
Dispatch:
“Foreion Letters to the South.—Seven
teen hundred foreign letters, addressed to per
sons in the seceded Sta'es, were received trom
New York at the Dead Letter Office this morn
ing. Thirty four hundred have been previ
ouslysenl thither from Boston, New York and
Chicago. Foreign letters will be delivered to
agents of Southern houses, if properly iden
tified, upon payment of postage under our
postal treaties. They will not be opened at
the Dead Letter Office.”
In order to relieve, as far as possible, tbe
embarrassment of our merchants und citizens,
consequent upon the suspension of mail ser
vice betweeD (be North and South, the South
ern Express Company, (successor to Adams
in the South,) through its superintendent, has
perfected an arrangement with the Adams Ex
press Company, at Louisville, Kentucky, by
which it is supposed the annoyance may be
remedied. As an order is necessary .o get
letters from the Dead Letter Office, at Wash
ington, the annexed form has been prepared,
and it should be signed by all parties sending
for letters, from any of the principle cities of
tbe South, at which is located an agency of
said Express Company, who will undertake to
forward the same to Washington, and return
the letters, paying the postage, aud collecting
all expenses aud express charges ('2') cents on
each single letter) on delivery :
The undersigned, citizens of the city of
Augusta, Georgia, would respectfully request
the Postmaster Genoral of the United States,
at Washington, D. C., to deliver to the bear
er, , Agent of the Adams Express
Company, all letters that are now, and may
hereafter be received, at the Dead Lstter Of
fice at Washington, to our address ; said agent
being fully authorized and empowered to re
ceive, pay for, and forward said letters by ex
press to our respective addresses.
Respectfully, .
Tbe Southern Express Company will receive
letters at any of its offices in tbe South for
ths United States, ths Confederate States post
age having first been paid to the border, and
will forward the same to Louisville, Ky.,
where it will be sent forward by the Adams
Express Company, or United States mail, to
destination ; and as ths United States envel
opes and postage stamps held at the South are
not recognized at tbs North, the Express Com
pany will pay the Uoited States postage—
which, with the Express charge, will bs 25
