WHAT IT MEANS. ! v From the Chicago Time?, 7th. We greatly misjudge if the discussion of the legal bearing Of the proclamation up on tbe seceded States, when hostilities cease, (if the government should be successful,) which has lately occupied the attention of the Administration press, was not intended to re sult, as it has resulted, in the maintenance of the radical construction. It is only by con ceding the correctness of the positions taken by the radicals that the proclamation can be regarded as aught else than mischievous non sense. This was well understood by the un principled manager of fte Administration par ty when lie invited attack by controverting the'radical construction. He opened the col umns of.his newspaper for reply, knowing thosu replies would prove the inconsistency and folly of its own interpretation. The people are to be educated, first to be lieve in. the necessity for the proclam ition, and next in its; literal construction. -The contro versy was premeditated, and its resole wc doubt not is regarded with as much satisfac tion by the authorities at Washington as, py tin: liaders who have in lintainc l the construction. We append tho terms of peace, as state ■* by a prominent Abolition-republican in the New York Tribune of the 2d tost.: . 'Jj fc . i s * IV.

Official dispatches were receivod last night at the War Department from General Long- street, by a courier who left his headquarters on last Friday, but what news they bring we are not able to say. We have good reason to believe that the intelligence is not important, and that the advices relate to the business mat ters of the army. When the courier left our army was in sight of Suffolk, but what were General Longstreet’s designs was rot known to his army. Some beliove that ho will not at tack Suffolk, and that his purpose is simply to gather up the forage in that section of the country. This may be so, but we are dispos ed to think he has a far better purpose in this movement on Suffolk. The Northern accounts, which will be found in another column, shew that the Yankees there were expecting a but tle momentarily, and preparations were going forward lor an attack. With General Long- street’s army drawn up in sight of SuiiMk,and skirmishing going on continually between the two armies, wo cannot see how a battle can bo vvoidod. ... , * ■ In the absence of official intelligence, ajl kinds of rumours are rife. The “reliable gen- tlcinan” brings nows that our forcos captured, on last Wednesday, two Yankee transports and six hundred prisoners below Suffolk, but whether true or not, our readers a^e quite as competent to judge as ourself. A gentleman from Norfolk, who hjs reached our lines, says that the approach of our array to Suffolk had caused the greatest consternation in Norfolk, and that preparations werqbeing made to leave the place in case of a reverse at Suffolk and the advance of our army. Uu'drcds of persons were packed up and in readiness to leave at a moment’s notice.

Sending packages through the city in lubes by moans of atmospheric pressure is among the latest enterprises of London, a short line about one-thkd of a mile in length being iu fall operation, With a prospect of its being speedily extended so as to embrace a complete system for the transmission of packages, mails and merchandise, throughout the city. The New York Journal of Commerce gives the following description of this railway : The tube as at present laid is about three feet in diameter, closely resembling a gas mair.' laid a few feet below the surface of the street," and the joints made air tight by means of lead soldering. Within this lubo is a railway track, oh which is run a car about eight feet long, 1 ot.' four wheels. The weight ol this, vehicle i.- 800 lbs. This is the entire apparatus employ ed, aside from that furnishing the motive pow er, which, however, is not the least curious part of tho contrivance. Taking advantage of the law of-centrifugal - force, a hollow wheel receiving a supply of air near the axle is made to revolve by the aid of steam power at .the rate of seventy to ninety miles au hour, thrpw- ing off from tho periphery a column of airwitb such force that upon entering tho pnoumali^ tube, tbe car before desciibed is impelled near, ly thirty miles per hour. The- latter become! a kind of piston within a cylinder, presenting a surlnCc nearly five feet rquaic to lliu bUn** • [Special to the Memphis Appeal. _ Senatobia, April 17.—Tbe Mississippi is falling with a rapidity unprecedented. It commenced declining April 18, and has in creased every day until it reached a fall cf two feet on -tho lGtb, at a point ten miles be low Memphis, and a total of six feet. Boats descending the river are laden with munitions, provisions and troops, and wo fleets of coal tows have' gone down. The Federal cavalry at Momphis is being in creased for tho purpose, it is supposed, of c pt- rating in Northern Mississippi. Several rt gi- monts of infantry are being mounted. The news which we published on jester lay, from the New York Herald, that Lincoln has «‘t- dcfnxtcly postponed the exooution of the Oon» Ti at Law passed by Ilia late Congress, is full of mail- inland of brightness lor our cause! It tells of a ipir- it among the paople of the North that will no en dure the draft,for the unholy purposes of Lincoln’s war. Bribes and bounties have been tried, till their virtue is exhausted. Lincoln’s armies hare been dwindllbg by desertion, as well as cat down by the casualties of war, till tho thirteen hunlnsd thousand men he has enrolled do not number half that multitude now. Next month several hunired thousand more will demand and receive their dis charge; and Lincoln dares not venture on the measure that was to fill his rauks again, am ac cording to the vaunts of his organs, swell then to three millions, if need be. Courage then, citizens of the Confederacy t— Your deliverance draws nigh! That heavy ;upe- riortty of numbers which alone have given, tho en emy any efficiency again3t;usjis to cease. Rcduo- ed to equality of numbers, nay, with the advan tage probably’ on our side, we shall swiftly clear our soil of tho hated presence of the wioked inva ders. Soon our banners are to wave, wo trust, on outer boundaries, and out- enemies content them selves with their own heritage, leaving us to ours in peace. To this end let our re&ders and our he roes drive the war, and press tho foo, and conquer a peace by their activity and gallantry exerted in the coming and present propitious time!
