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,.

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
