Even in that awful test of the lisitb of Abraham, God saved the universe the (slain of bis obedience. j Ibii the dark ages threaten us again, and the i vie;’,pitt Latin seems revived i.i the writers of iu dry. Head it: ' We would rather nail the lid upon the cot-I tin ot our mother, than have her.despair in this hour, old, and despoiled by the foe as she has | been We would rather give up to the yen- j geanoe of the infuriated and brutalized soldiery | oi the enemy the little ones of our house and j heart, than that iu after days it could be said of them that they are but the childteu of him whodoet faith in the cause of the just, and was, in the dark hour, recreant to the ccu#e for the maintenance of which his State had pledged i "the lives, the property and the sacred honor" j of her people. Oar only farther commentary on the above : is. that the issue of continued war or dishonora i bio peace, which the Administration party ; try to force on to us. is not the truth, but au j utterly false issue. j We will have an honorable peace or none and we deny that any proper effort for an hon orable peace has ever been made—unless pos sibttj in the recent commission to Washington ! city. We now ask our readers to carefully consid er the following extract from a late article in the same paper. Au article of some little force, and which might have had. some influ > ence, had it been an appeal to the remnant of | patriotism its that "two-thirds of the army" ”• . < sw op hoc* iuw -;*f. :.r. . j which President Ddvis sais Lave deserted, and 1 : who have mostly gone to seeeuff. ring families, I and couid yet be reclaimed. The writers who appeal to the’soldiers to 1 array the bayonet against the ballot box; these . mtu cannot conceal their contempt for the sal ; dims they would make use of, and it thus ieaks out: Ke.nl the following and contrast it ! with the paragraph which tells the soldiers so i kindly that this is “your land.” Perhaps I whv. the writer wished to prepare the soldiers | to put down the county conventions of those ! sfyiad “tfe rich men at home,” if was net re { laembercd that: same paper bad spoken ot t these s-:ii’. soldiers in these words : “\ r o a;qical can reach their ignoble minds. They ai< human animals, the iubor of whose 1.-oi-u at:-t muscles is duo to the government which saves them from anarchy ” ffcyive the paragraph below, and the sub ject of tl,e whole .context 1-, ‘‘recruiting ;Ue army,” and the return of “deserters and ab sentees without leave.” Real it ye soldiers whether “present lor duty” -or “absent with out leave.” We call you back by the lov« of the dear country which is shared by vour little ones and the “rich men at home’ —by the honor of your manhood—by the nacre.incss of the cause, and the liberty which, neither for eigtr nor domestic foes shall take from ns.— They would take you back like dogs- ! —thus : A better system for attaining Ihe ends pro posed cannot be found in History and was nrobably never devised, and yet so corrapt is the moral sentiment in certain sections, teat all this is inadequate unless every loyal man and woman of whatever age or condition unite in driving to the army those two classes of trai tors one of which hide from or defy Conscrip tion and the other have basely deserted their colors. Too mu< h importance cannot be at tached to this consideration. The salvation of tile country recfuiies that these men be forced to do their duty. Justice demands it. Their conduct iucriinitial in the, t ight of man and lleav an, and deserves the execration of everv loyal citi :en Xo appeal can reach their ignoble ' minds. They are human animals, thD labor of whose bonsfc-rd muscles is due to she Government whifli saves them from anarchy. It is too late to educate them as to sacred obligations. They must he arrestt and and sent to the array. Wo have said enough anil more than wo in tended, but the air is heavy with treason to the dearest rights of freemen, aud to the b“st interests of the land, and to the constitution wo fdl owe faith and allegiance to. In this solemn hour of great peril from fees without and foes within, we summon freemen to council, “with an arm t-n the altar, an arm on tho hilt.” , Congregate, ye freemen erf Georgia aud other States of the South, in sovereign con vention. No lesser sower than the kingly people -the supreme masses of tho. land, can speak or act with authority in ail hour like this If Mesers. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell are acting by authority, it is wKr.r,. • ULISUKMD ARE THK FKAtUNUAKBr.M ’’ When the telegraph announced, some days ago, that the Administration at Richmond had deputed commissioners to proceed to Wash ington, and negotiate for the restoration of peace, there yas straightway a marked change of feeling iu the community. Tho depression of the gold market was not more instantane ous and decided, than was the elevation of the public confidence. Nor was this to ho won dered at. For well nigh four weary years we have been suffering the unspeakable honor.-; of a war of invasion." baring much the greater portion of that period wo have b y] our iitv.ports almost hermetically scaled by blockaders; vast tracis of cur territory have been devastated by lire ; our young men have been slain iu battle ;• and our old men made childless by the sword have gone down with sorrow to ihe grave. In the meantime, our churches have been scat tered for*ihe want of pastoral supervision ; our colleges have keen closed for want of pat- | ronage ; acd-every moral and material inter est. of the country has languished add decayed. Who does not lung for deliverance from --noli evils as these we-have so feebly depicted V For ou:reiver- wo hackly confess that cur heart is r- lined by every day’s report of si.tug:’ter, and that we deem it quite time that this saturnalia of blood should ecus**. ' If we succeed in open ing negotiations, all the mere punctilios of diplomacy should be disregarded, and the pre judices of no party, nor the caprices of any individual, should be allowed to defeat an end so devoutly wished f-»r. We arc glad to see, at last, that the re 4s a willingness on the park of the. A*.: ministration to send, and a malt ness on the part of our opponents to receive mes sages of peace and good will. From every ruiptd hoipestead and from every burdened heart, there will ascend a fervent prayer that reason aud not mere brute force may hence forth be the arbiter of the present contro versy. Hut- what, it may he inquired, avaribe proba ble results of this movement? Some have • suggested that alter all it la a mere tpick to j forestall separate state action? Wc sre slow j to believe such a statement--although it mayj prove it no. Until diffareutiy advised, how ever, w* shall regard it,.ts honestly meant by both parties, and as no mere fraud on public omluljty, cither North or South. Thus viewed, we are inclined to augur favorable resit 1 tsv 1 he men selected for ibis mission—Stephens, Hunter-and Campbell—are each aud ull capa ble and honest. They are no debauched poli ticians seeking to' accomplish some paltry end ot individual advantage, hue men of establish ed character, revered eveu by' our enemies, and enjoying the unbounded confidence of the South. If they are clothed with plenary pow ers ; if they are not trammeled by instruc tions ; they will soon undoubtedly make an honorable adjustment of existing difficulties. As to the terms of settlement, there will exist a vast variety of opinions. One thing is evident, if any important re sult is arrived at. both- parties will be some what disappointed and in a measure dissatis fied. Neither has, so far, the mastery of tfle other, that it can alftolutely dictate the terms of ihb settlement. Our condition, though bad is not desperate, and we yet have ample re sources to prolong the struggle if just terms are refused ns. The various speculations already afloat* in regard to the commission serve to show the ob stacles that embarrass this question of peace. Anxious as we, In common with our fellow countrymen, are to know the result, we trust • that there will ba no indecent haste on the : part of our Commissioners. Vast consequen | ses depend upon their success or failure, Dis - » guise it as we may, the is a radical din "- renc “ ot sentiment and opinion amongst our ps. < -T )te at home arid in the array. If peace is not secured these smouldering fires may burs! forth. Ar.,l a reign of anarchy and misrule, -the rig'. -and liberties,” and even the “satred horn t” of Ihe people will perish forever. We t;- - .tuber the fate of Cas sandra, anil we uMi r : iiibo predictions in-the hope that the tii" i evils may be averted by a timely sett: .n- And above all, that, we may exhort every o : ‘ concerned to mutual forbearance and b i v obedo-coa -o the laws. On the other har-1. if- acces.? should crown the <Tfoits of cur c -. then peace, blessed peace, will «• !- i’t o*r tmarts and by our hearths!om s ; Urc -t. vies of national life will pulsate to the v if exi-a'rei-.iea of the body politic; the highways of c-nnmerco will be thronged with tsaHlc; the rouud of busy industry will be heard throughout, our land; the arts and sciences will lift their drooping head, now bowed to the dust; and religion will be left to pu,-. ueher .glorious ministry 4>f love imvexed by the strife of tongues and un disturbed -by tho clash of arms.
