Important From Kentucky-. The !
Mobile Register & Adverfisei says : “ That
is a fragram hnath of tumors that conies >
from tbe uueient, ‘dark and bloody ground.
How like the south wind Sweeping oier beds
of violets stealing and bringing sweet odors
must it salute and refresh the Kentucky ex
iles and warriors, Breckinridge, Buckner and
their compatriots. If this news Le true, then (
there is indeed light in the West, and old •
Kentucky may yet rise in her majesty, and
assevt ihoae ri.rhts of sovereign)■. which vui
r-. | o
gar tyrants have trampled under their loath- ■
some heels. If the eyeif-buidened back ot
that| long stirteriug .State can bear no mote,
and she is driven at last, to take her proper
place beside her Southern sisters in arms, \
history will record the time most happily and
usefully chosen.
The men of Kentucky tiji in arms in Grant’s
rear, would create a powerful diversion in the
campaign of the West, Johnston and Long
street to press on the redemption of Kentucky
as well as Tennessee, and thus turn the tide
of war hopelessly against the boasting invader.
It is a consummation devoutly to be wished |
The effect, moral and physical, of such a move
ment, would be past describing. May it
prove true.”

Tlie Peace Party at,the North—•
Analysis of its AoaigresMiuual
Voting.
The victories of the Confederates ure the
only real and tangible “principles,’' says the
Richmond Dispatch, which support the peace |
party at the North. Their opposition to sub- j
Jugatioti, their of war, their syin- i
path;, with a “-brave people struggling tor j
liberty, all die out, as success following !
success perches upon the Federal Banner.— j
\\ ueH live lunlfi; Loiiarcss commenced its |
last session, the opposition to Lincoln, which
boldly took its stand, on the test election ior !
►Speaker of the House, numbered eighty-nine',
votes, all cast against Schuyler C'oHax, the
Administration candidate. At one time it
seemed probable that they would obtain the
actual majority : and this result was averted
only by the elections which occurred iu a few
of the smaller States at a later date. How
this opposition changed after the ledeial suc
-cesses of last year, may be gathered from'the
following article in tbe New Y'ork Times. No
one can read it without the conviction that a
series of Confederate victories this year will j
give the Opposition a large majority over the !
now distracted Administration piirty in the
next Congress :
First —As to restoration without conditions ]
precedent, Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, Demo- j
cr it, on Jan. 3, presented resolutions, affirm
ing that the rebels “have a right to return j
with their domestic institutions as they were j
before the war, and to elect Representatives to j
Congress, without any conditions precedent.” !
On the motion to lay on tlie, table only forty
ttco. R-ss than half of the party, voted in me j
negative. ,
Second —As to the policy of negotiation, i
Mr. Baldwin, of Massachusetts, Union, on j
January 8, presented a resolution that -‘prop- ’
osition to negotiate with the rebel lendws
shbuld be rejected without hesitation or Ue
hiv. 1 Only sixteen ot the party, less than a !
tilth, \utid in the negative.
Third—As to Federal emancipation. Mr. !
iidgerton, ot Indiana, Democrat, on Decern- I
her 13, presenteyl a resolution condemning tbe i
proclamations ol tin- President in regard to ’
emancipation, and asset ting‘ the right ot each
State to order and control its own domestic
institutions, according to its own judgment
exclusively.” Sixty-six of the party, about
two-thirds, voted against th..- motion to lay on
the table.
Fourth —As to summary arrests by military
authority, Mr. Rendition, of Ohio, Democrat,
on March 1, presented a resolution that the |
military arrest and banishment of Yailandig
harn were - acts of mere arbitrary power, in j
palpable violation of the Constitution and;
laws of the United States.” Only foruj-xevtn, |
but little more than one-half of the party, j
voted in the affirmative.
Fisth —As to enlisting negroes, Mr. Grinnel, i
of lowa, Union, on February 2. presented a
resolution that “a more ■< igorous policy, in
order to secure a larger number ot persons of
African descent in the army, would meet tht
approb ition of the House. Only forty- a. a
];t«|e over one-half of the party, voted m the
negative.
.sixth—As to conscription. The enrollment i
bill, as finally perfe* ted, including a emuse to
enroll all resident x. roes in the Untied States,

What is even yet more strikin-. than this
inability ol the party in Congress to marshal
itsclt in lorce on nuv position w hatewr against I
the Admiuistratiou, is its general change,’
iinve the session opened, in temper and spirit '
(litvani ib>- ivar This is easily illustrated
hi the second week .t the session. Green Clay
Smith, ol'Kcntut k\, submit red the
resolution :
Itmohed, That as our country and the verv ex
istence ot the best t. .* urnincnt ewi instituted bv
m»n, i. imperilled by tho in.-st causeless aurt ;
wicked rebellion that ibv. ys..jM has ever smb, and
he!ieriiigas wo u > that iheuuiy leqa-ul saving the
country and presarving this Government is by the
power of the sword, wo are lor the most vigorous
prose, uti nos the war until the Constitution and
laws shall be enforced and obeyed in all parts of
the I 'nit.-d States, and to that end we oppose any ,
armistice, or intervention. >.r mediation, or propo- ;
sit ion for peace from any quarter go long as there
shrill i»e found a rebel in arms against the Govern- ;
tnent ; and yve ignore all party names, line an.i
issues, and recognise but two parties in this *,u
patriots and traitors."
This resolution covered the whole gr..uiid ol the !
necessity of the war. to tho exclusion of every
other policy. Sixty lour ot the party answered
“no" on the test vole. A month afterwards. Mr.
Smith again proposed a resolution, which was of
exactly the same import. It read as follows :
*•• M7<# .is, A most desperate, wicked and blood\
rebellion exists in the jurisdiction of the Vnited
Slat. \ and the -atefy and .-curity of personal amt
national liberty depend upon if- absolute amt utter '
cs tin.-t ion, The re to re,
"‘V.Vso/ivd. That it i- the political, civil, moral, I
ami sacred duty ol the people to meet it, tight it,
ami forever destroy it, thereby establishing perfect
and unalterable libertv.” j
uv.lv sixteen ol the party voted against it. Last ]
Monday Mr. S.-hem l:, of Ohio, presented resolu
tioiu? :
*■ 1 hat tho present war against the armed insur
gents, bunded under the name of the Southern
Confederacy, was brought on by a wicked and
wholly inexcusable rebellion, and ati thu o en
gaged in, or aiding and abetting it, have incurred
tho name ot public euoiuies, and should be branded
as such.
“That in the struggle now going on for thesatety
us-our country and tree government there is no
middle ground on which any' good citizen or true
patriot can stand, neutrality or indifference, or
anything short of a hearty support of the Govern
ment, being a crime where the question is between
loyalty amt treason."
Both of these were unanimously adopted, though
there had been sixty-tour votes against Mr. Smith’s
December resolutions, which were of precisely the
same scope. Thus the original audacity of the
party against the Administration has gradully sub
sided, so far as general principles are concerned,
into the blandest acquiescence.
Seward's Warning to France. —New York,
March 18,—The Times correspondent announces
the important, fact that Minister Day ton has noti
fied the French Emperor that if the rebel steamer
Rappahannock, now at Calais, is allowed to pro
ceed to sea, the French Government will be held
responsible for the damage she may do American
commerce.
It is also announced that the French Govern
ment has issued more stringent regulations con
cerning - cruisers of the belligerents. Among other
things specified in these regulations are two, to
the enect that no vessel oi cither oi the belligerents
can remain in port more than two hours, unless
by stress of weather, or for necessary repairs, find
that no vessel can return to a French port after
leaving it in le~.s time than three months.
T_ruiii .vaUuicuu no doubt “took notice," but did
not govern himself accordingly, ror no the
following item in the Atlanta Confederacy:
Private advices state that the- Confederate ship
Rappahannock left France privately on the 20th
of February, armed with six guns and a picked
crew, who had been pu;;i three months in advance.
Her cruisings, it is reported, will be the Equator
and China.

It is, said that wo i>&M have (he fifteen thou

exchange puts fifteen thousand paroled mus
kets iti the held against, them. There is some
thing too that we put out of the field, aud mu
of the question—the national self-respect and
the credit, of the Government. There it has
solemnly and deliberately taken its stand in
this matter, aud proclaimed it to ail. It it
comes down now. and on this issue, it will
come down on any issue. Both enemy and
our own people will be convinced of that fact

«* rant left Nashville for Washington on
Saturday, the lHth, and was to repair im
mediately to the front. His stall is com
posed of officers formerly with him in the
military division of the Mississippi. As
tlie Richmond Whig suggests, this order
may be only a Yankee trick to throw us
oft our guard in North Georgia, where he
may really intend to assume the immediate
direction of military movements.
Yankee Speculations of the
War-ivhat Is the Froipect of
its Termination.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Time», writing ol the probable
termination of the war, says:
The administration is still endeavoring
to make the public believe that the rebel
lion is on its last legs, and that the war
will be ended with the campaign of next
summer. Never was there a greater de
lusion. To those who know the real facts,
it is evident that the end of the war, so
far as the conquest or the subjugation of
the »South is coucerned, is as far off note
as it teas am years ago. The South may
not have as many troops in . the field in
as they had in 1863. Rut, if they
only have three hundred thousand, they
can give abundant employment to over
six hundred thousand, and if they have
four hundred thousand, they can attack
Washington besides.
It is understood that the South will act
entirely on the defensive, and will seek
to draw our armies as far as possible into
the interior of the country, where they ex
pect to defeat them. And there is very
little doubt that they will depart from the
defensive system, so far as to make an at
tack upon Washington. It they do this,
and act on the defensive everywhere else,
they have means and material for carry
ing on the war for five, years more, lam
satisfied, from the information that reaches
me, that Richmond will never be aban
‘hmed so long as the Confederacy can put
fifty thousand tioopa in the field.
NORTHEKN [TRMS —GOVERNOR BROWN ■
Message, &c. —A gentleman just front
Richmond, passiug through here, kaa
shown us a copy of the Philadelphia
i quiff rof the 17th instant, which has an
editorial article upon the subject of “Gov-
S cnior Brown, of Georgia, and rebel rule."
i The Enquirer is evidently rejoiced at Gov.
Browo's attack upon the ‘‘despotic powers
assumed by Jeff Davis." The Enquirer
says: “He (Brown) is evidently beginning
to distrust the arms of the Confederacy,
and rests his hopes upon his own State.
* * * There is a very signficant
portion of his message, which looks like a
dainty bid for peace. He says—“We
should keep before the Northern people
the idea that we are ready to negotiate
when they are ready, and will recognize
our right of self government, and the sov
ereignty of the Htates." He does not say
the “Confederacy," ot the Confederate
.States."
Governor Bramlette, of Kentucky, who
talked mo largely about resisting the Yan
kee conscription of slaves, has simmered
down, and urges the Kentuckians to sub
mit to Lincoln's “laws.”
* And so on In fact Governor Brown's
message, and especially the telegraph sy
nopsis of it sent on to press, could hardly
fail to ciiiivr*, an impression to the North
of division and disorganization, and conse
quent we akness at the South
The telegraphic dispatches to the In
quirer, from Washington, under date of
the ltith, says that “the new call for troops
accords with General Grant’s plans. He
u- ks fur large armies, if it is expected that
the wur can be closed this year."-
