Wc effer no apology for Mci casing the rates. We are comps!led to do so. Willing to Muller, bnt net to be Sacrifirril Except the solJier and his family, <and in many in stances these have not suffered for food or clothing) except these classes, who have suffered ? who snlfeis ? who will sufici by the War ! No man will sav that Formers or merchanft, or traders, or speculators have suffered a day during the War, for food orcoth- ing of thrj best kind, and plenty of it. 1 he) hav e uot suffered because they could always command n.ouey or provisions for what they had to sell, and people were 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 Latest News. Siccum is supposed to be in possession of the Sjutii Carolina Railroad, and moving m the d - Yection of Colombia, v.-ith one corps The other under Sherman, is we snppose moving toward- Charleston. ’I here was a sharp engagement be tween onr fprees and the enemy on the f>th inat , in the neigLboih jod of Hatch' r's run, South of Petersburg. Pegrafh's Division was principal y engaged, on our part. Gen. Pegram was killed Gen. Sorrell of Gs., wounded in the hip Evans’ and Mahune’s Divisions were sent to the aid of Pegram, and the enemy was driven rapidly to h s defences. Our loss wss much .smaller rban that i f the enemy. So says Genl*. Lee. This move ment is made by Gr^t to keep Lee from sending troops to Carolina. A gretjt meeting came off’ at Richmond on the 6*h iost, at which President Davis and other d.s tinguisheJ gentlemen made addresses. A resolution flour brought $3 00 in the market. At that time, our i was adopted pledging anew ou-’ lives,our fortun s Shall sve be fifenifn or shall vre be alnvraf Commissioners, appointed hv the Confederate Government, liave had a consultation with Abrn ham Lincoln; and the terms offered to the Confed 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. even with brave men to support them, to break the hope and heart of a people. Officers must he competent—they must have the confidence of the Men they command—if not. then wo could not ask the people to indulge the shadow of a lifipe for our success. All onr troubles to-day can be Newspaper brought f~ 00 in the Maiket for twelve months. One copy’of our paper, for a year and a half, would have bought a sack ol flour. Now, the price of our paper is §12 00 a year, and it takes the subscription price of /rr»/re copies of our paper for one year to hnv one sack of flour'. An , yet, paper, ink and type arc ■career aitides in the maiket than flour, bacon, corn ■ >r lard. We only mention these things to put our selves light ou the record, which, as little as some men think, will one day be subjected to a iigid scrutiny. Now. who are the first men rtfertry out, ‘Hold enough ! ’ ? Are they the laboring; and salaried, men, or men who work for the .State or Confederate Govern ment, or publishers* of newspapers 1 No! Well, who are they? Look around, and see who are the meu that shake in the knees." Who are the nn-H that want | peace on any terms? They are men whuhave lived ■ >ii the fat of tbe land ever since the War began.— They have never suffered one day for torn, flour, bacon, or lard. And, besides these articles of prime necessity, tliev have had cotton ; cloth, both cotton and woolen * shoes, Ienther, peas, potatoes in, abundance, and yet ihev as k the soldier win. has. endured n torment on earllt, and poor men and women, who have labored honestly to help the cause, nnd put bread in the mouths of themselves and children—they ask these truly pat riotic and unselfish classes to stop the War, and go 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 may have to “breathe in otherair Less pure, accustomed to immortal fruits,’’ and all at once they get very solemn, very sad and very scared. They have had (heir day. They have uev er known a minute’s suffering for food or clothing, tor four years—tliev may uot know what suffering is, if the War goes on four years longer; but such inen hall not make ua..slaves. Never, no, never, if the Nation's heart is not rotten to the core. Ii they are lost to honor, they must not, shall not, ding us down to their be<l of dishonor and death. — — Ihf report of (he I’rntr C'onuuiniiMirri.

[ COMMUNICATED] 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., or we shall ho. crushed. All of the soft places can be filled equally as well by those who are not able to endure active service. It is said ilia! there are a hundred thousand able bolied men in the Confederate Slates Last of toe Mississippi it 1»i*f .iur, rttinij. iiM.se g;.:e po»: ion*, v nidi could he as well-or better filled by the crippled soldiers or those, who by ago or infirmiti*?**, i,.a unable to eudnre the hardships of a campaign. Ld nil these able bodied young nun be put in the hi my, then let good officers be appointed to command our armies, men in whom the soldiers have confidence, and we shall hear no more complaints about straggling and deseriing. It is the abuses named above which discourage our soldiers and makes them straggle and desert. Coircct the abuses and the evil will be corrected. « SENEa. to permit us to have a vote, on any other basis than our nncoarlhional submission to their rule, cour-led with our acceptance of their recent legislation, including the vri amendment to the Constitution fur the emancipation of all negro slaves, and w ith the cigjit on the part ot the Federal Con- giess to legislate *.n the subject of the re lations between the white and black popu lation.

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.
