Formers or merchanft, or traders, or speculators
have suffered a day during the War, for food orcoth-

suffered because they could always command n.ouey

compelled to buy of them or stai ve. Ai d it is notori
ous that money is almost as worthless to buy provisions
us «o much waste paper, unless a bushel oi money is
offered for a bushel of produce.
But the salaried men, the mechanics, day laborers,
men anil women, and all others who are not supported
by the Government—these are crushed between the
upperand nether millstones. And the newspaper man:
hoy with him? Wewill take the single article of flour.
For a sack of flour, weighing one hundred pounds, we
have to pay $1 f>0. Before the War, the same sack of

erate Government, as a basis for peace, are uucon.
diticnal submission to the laws and constitution of
the United States, on the part of the Government
and people of the Confederate States, and the ab
olition of slavery.
These are plain terms. There is no attempt
hero to deceivo the people ol the Confederate
States. We thank the euemy for Ins frankness. We
feared he would sugar-coat his pill so that it might
be acceptable to the puiatc of some of our people.
He has done no such thing, lie has told them
that they can get peaca by laying down their arms,
submitting to the authority of the l nited States,
agreeing to give up their negroes, and then rclv
upon his mercy for life, and all else that man
•holds dear.
We are disappointed, in one respect, only, as to
the result of the peace commission sent to Wash
ington. We did not expect as much good, as did
follow the nioveimnt. We had reason to bciieve
that our commissioners were invited to Washing
ington; and that soil;" plan woald be proposed i>>
our enemy that would at least excite debate and
difference ot opinion at the South. Wc hav* been
mistaken. The late successes cf the rremj
lias embolden him to dictate terms, the mo&t
dishonorable, that were ever offered to a people in
arms. Those terms do not even make surrender
honorable. We are required not only to yield all
< nr rights es freemen, l ut to confess that wc have
for Sit years, or more, been guilty < f fostering an
institution which was wrong.
Is there a man in Georgia, so debased, so mean,
so cowardly, that he would accept these terms, in
preference to a manly defense of his rights and
hotioi? Wc do not beMeve there is such a man
If there bo one such, let him leave Lis soil, and
the ashes of his saluted dead, and go to the aims
of hid life-long en-rny. As for us, we prefer death
to any euch terms.
Peace, ou the terms of Lincoln and Seward,
is treason to the Govei ument utidt’r which wc
live,— treason black as Hei.! Rather than giveup
our rights, cur property, our little children, the
ashes of out fathers, our sainted dead, the liber
ties cf the noblest people that ever drew a sword,
and all the glorious associations of the past, we
would welcome death w ith out strechod aims, as
a 'messenger of love and peace.
Oli, men of Georgia: you that have shod your
blood on honored fields, end mingled it with the
snows and ice of Tennessee and Virginia—will
you, can you pause in the solemn hour of your na
tion’s trial ! We doubt not. Such acause to fight
for.’ nfii such an enemy to confront, would make
a hero, if liia blood w«a white as new drawn
milk.
We accept the issue. We do not fear the result.
We know the consequences which will follow in
the track of submission. We have before onr
eyes examples enough of the misery, humiliation
and degradation of the people who have gone un
der the yoke of the enemy. We have to choose
this day what we will do. On the one hand is
certain slavery and dishonor, with all the atten
dant horrors of a life-longservitudo-on the p*rt
of ourselves and our children for untold yaears
On the other is probable independence, and cer
tain honor. Death may come to ns; but we w ill
appeal to the God of justice who has said, blessed
is the peace maker,—w ho kateth wrong and lov-
ctb the right—to Him and our strong arms and
stoat hearts we will appeal, against the cruel and
crushing decision of Abraham Lincoln.
And now that we have given expression to sen
timents, which we believe to be the sentiments of
nine out of ton of the people of the Confederate)’,
wo have only' to add a few words as to the duty i
(if those who have “our lives, our fortunes, and
our sacred honor" in their keeping- They must
not sacrifice ns to a whim or caprice. They must
not call on us to rally to the flag, unless they will
abate somewhat of their personal prejudice, and
sacrifice their private quarrels for the public good.
If (Minerals are put in command of men who are
notoriously incompetent—if the private, soldier
who carries nothing but his musket and his life
into the conflict, is to be ignored, then there is no
hope for us. The Tennessee campaign has just
shown the country what inefficient officers can do.

baek into the “Union,’’ that they the self-same men
may save the ir cotton, stocks and bonds, negroes, their
hdnses ami lands, their flocks, and their implements of
industry ! Many of these men have not even known
what it was to want sugar, coffee, liquors of the best
brand, linuen, and other luxuries,vince the day the
first hostile gun was fired in Carolina. They fearthpy

and all at once they get very solemn, very sad and

if the War goes on four years longer; but such inen

ly does it grieve ns to s; y, tli«t so far as tho army

Judging from signs iu the Macon newspapers some
body will have to board at Sprawls Hotel during the
setting of the Legislature. The papers advise the
members to bring along their hams, flour, lard, meal
Ace. Ace. : nothing is said about whiskey, so wc infer
there is a good supply on hand in the city. It is even
hinted that the Hotels cannot accommodate the mem
bers, and that the citizens, who can do so, should take
them to hoard. We always hav'e heard that the Ma
con Hotels could accomodate the members of the Leg

t l,'je*t itiovi? in (tie right (iireciiotl.
Messrs. Kdtlors : I see a statement in the news
papers that the Senate had passed a law abolish
ing all Post Commissaries and Quartermasters
and substituting bended agents in tbeir piaces
The Act also repeals all authority to detail per-
sons between tjje ages of tigl^ecn anJ forty five
fn sard dipot-*. This, I cnsid^r an important
step in thewight direction. Let lhe House follow
up this step and pass fi.c law immediately, and a
large number of strong able bodied young men
will he driven out of tln-ie bomb pr of r&t holes
into active service, and tbeir places in tha Com
missary and Ci.um teruiaster Departments will be
filled by those, who on acecuot age, or other in-
firmitits, are not able to bear the fatigues of a
campaign. When onr soldiers are passing
through tho country and see in every town and
village through which they go, a gaang of strong
hesitny young men thronging tho streets, well !
dressed in bright Confederate uniforms, and riding
or driving fat hcr.-cs, they immediately suspect
they heicug to the Commissary or Quartermaster
D -partmints, aud nine times out of ten thc^ - are
right. This sight is exceedingly vexatious and
discouraging to our brave tr.cn in the field, and to
the old folks at home They immediately con
c!ude that these well dressed and highly pamper
ed young men »;ro the sons or near rt lativ&s of
rich men, who. by their wealth and influence,
have procured th>?m theso soft places, whilst tln*y
and their sons aro left to do the fighting. Anoth
er circumstance would seem to prove that there
safe positions are given to the rich, is thi fad
these young Quartermasters and Commissaries
frequeutly spend mom money iu ft thin
their pay for a year will amount to, M) that they
must get money from lume or from some elht r
source. The time has come, Messrs. Editor**,
when every man who is able to eudura the fa
tigue of a campaign must enter the active service.,

At Home.
We aro pleased to see a “.umber of our voung
friends of the Army of Tennessee, at home. They
have had truly a bard road to travel,ever since our
Army left Daltoft. almost u year ago. We hope
they may spend theif time very pleasantly among
their friends and relatives, until called to their
posts for duty again.
An old aefor, Louis Kramer, Las just died at Ge
neva in a singular way. Ho was playing Kmg
Lear, and iu his cxcitemCut swallowed a portion
of his artificial beard, which stuck in the wind
pipe and choked him.
States in December on plains clearly Lis
j sentiments as to the conditions, anrl mode
j of proceeding by which peace can beseenr-
i ed to the people; and we were not informed
i that they would be modified or altered to
obtain that end.
We understand from him that no terms
! or proposals of any treaty or agieement
I looking to an ultimate setflprneut would be
, entertained or made, by him. with the au-
! thoritips of the Confederate States because
■ that would bo a recognition of their e.xis-
i tence as a separate power, which, under
no circumstance#, would be done; and for
like reasons, that no such terms would be
entertained by him from the States separ
ately; that r.o truce or armistice, as at
present advised, would he granted with
out satisfactory assurance in advnnco, of
tho complete restoration of the authority
of the Constitution and laws of the Uni
ted States, over all places within rHe
States of the Confederacy! that whatever
consequences might, follow from tc-estab-
lishment of the authority must be accep
ted, but that individuals subject to pain
and penalties tinder the laws of the Uni
ted States, night rely upon a liberal use
of the power confided to him, to remit
those pains and penalties, if Peace be res- j
tored during the conference.
The proposed amendments to the Con- i
Btitntion of the Unite! Slates, adopted
the 31st Jan. was brought to our notice.
These amendments provide that neither
slavery nor involuntary servitude, except
fi.r crime should exist within the United
Stales, orin any place within their juris
diction; and C* ngress should have power
to enforce that amendment by appropriate
legislation.
Of all the correspondence that preceded
the conference herein mentioned, and lead
ing to the same, you have heretofore been
informed.
Very Respectfully,
Your oli’t servants,
Alexander H. Stevens.
