The North is so inflated with the pride of victory as very generally to flatter itself with the idea that is the true explanation of the crises. There is, however, a third theory put forward by men who are, or who claim to be, behind the scenes, which asserts that it is not the South, but the North, that is at this moment the weaker party ; that the South holds the scales of its destiny in its own hand ; that the recent developments of French policy in Northern Mexico are sufficient to prove that the Emperor Napoleon 111. is willing to recognise the South, and has made up his mind to I do so; that if he takes the initiative Mexico, Brazil, Spain, Austria, Italy, the Pope, and last of all Great Britain will follow; and that in return for a recogni tion which will eventually secure their independence by opening to their ships of war the principal ports of the world the Confederate Government will esta blish free trade with Europe, Mexico, and Brazil, and enact a hostile--a prohibitory tariff against the North. It is added—as I surmised in letters written before the rumours of peace assumed such large proportions as they exhibit to-day, that Mr. Lincoln and his Go vernment are fully aware of this danger, and are willing, for the sake of commercial, political, and other advantages to the North, to snatch the Prize of a Southern affiance from France and England, and temporarily forego the darling object of re-union, in the hope that what is now unattainable may become obtainable hereafter, when the two sections shall have fought side by side in a foreign war. The scheme was originally mooted in the South, and was first divulged in the Times in one of my communi cations from Niagara Falls in September last, and is to the effect that if the North will recognise the independence of the South there shall be an alli ance offensive and defensive ,between the two Re publics for the vindication of the Monroe doctrine, for the expulsion of the Emperor Maximilian and the French from Mexico, for the annexation of Cuba and the West India Islands to the South, and of Canada and British America to the North. Fur ther, that the South shall make a commercial treaty with the North of which the main elements shall be an export duty upon cotton and other Southern com modities to Europe, a Southern tariff as stringent against British and French manufacturers as that of the North, and complete, unconditional free trade between North and South. If out of the new cir cumstances of the two republics war were to grow up either against France or Great Britain, or both, it is alleged that the South will enter into hostilities against those Powers quite as readily as the North. These, it is said, are the terms which, combined with the total abolition of slavery in the Border States, would satisfy all parties. But if the speculators who indulge in this glowing anticipation are asked of what States, under the new arrangement, the South would consist, an unexpected difficulty presents itself. To which side are Maryland and Delaware to belong ? What becomes of Western Virginia ? And whither shall Missouri, Tennessee, and Ken tucky betake themselves ? No one can tell. The only solution offered is that those States shall decide their own destiny by the votes of their whole people. This is a serious, if it be not an insurmountable dif ficulty, but it seems to offer no terrors to the ima gination of a large class of the Northern people. It will be observed in Europe that amid these explanations of the rear state of affairs—one of which must be correct, though which of the three it is at this moment impossible to say—there is not one which is consistent with the idea of the peace of the world. The first presupposes the con tinuance of the civil war in America until the utter exhaustion of the South, or the armed intervention of Europe. The second and third equally resup pose a war against the European Powers who have any footing upon this continent. In the second case war would gratify the warlike passions of the American people, both of North and South, and would tend in popular opinion to strengthen and anneal the broken links of their ancient partnership; the third would lead to war in fulfilment of a bargain which would have immense attactions for manufac turing and slave-hating New England and Pennsyl vania as well as for Mississippi and the Carolinas. Whatever be the result of the conference with the President or a the Vice-President of the Confederacy, they cannot tut be of the highest importance. Not only the peace of this continent will depend upon the decisions of the next few days, but that of Europe may be involved. Of one thing, however, the British public may be well assured—Great Britain has no friends in America, except among a few men of the higher order of intellect, who are not represented in Congress, who take no part in politics or public life, and who hold scrupulously aloof from a system of ultra-Democratic government in which they have no faith, and for which they feel no re spect. Peace is no sooner believed to be possible than the annexation of Canada is threatened. America imagines herself first in the world's coun cils, ruling the seas, grasping universal dominion, dictating the independence of Ireland, and crushing down Great Britain to the rank of a third-rate Power, without weight or authority in Christendom. And it is but sober though melancholy truth to affirm that at this moment, when peace seems more probable than at any previous point in the great civil war, the public exultation receives its sweetest stimulant in the idea that England shall be called to account for what is called her " perfidious neu trality," as well as for the damage inflicted upon American commerce by what, with a little abuse of words, are called the " British pirates," the Alabama, the Florida, the Tallahassee, and the Shenandoah. Under other circ ums t anc es th e cons tit u ti on al abolition of slavery by vote of Congress would have attracted much more attention than it has re ceived. Passed by the requisite majority of two thirds in the House of Representatives, ratified im mediately by the State of Illinois, and to be ratified within a few days, or perhaps hours, by New York, Massachusetts, and other Northern States, it has been hailed with salvos of artillery and ringing of joy bells in Washington, Boston, and elsewhere, but it has not excited any great amount of commentary, except in the columns of the anti-slavery and reli gious journals. In so far as that vote declared that slavery shall no longer exist in any portion of the United States, it merely proclaimed an existing fact. In the de facto States of the Union, the only States in which a vote of the Federal Congress has any validity, slavery has either disappeared in conse quence of the lawful action of the State Legislatures, or is in process of extirpation by such constitutional and effectual means as render wholly supererogatory the interference of Congress. Until the Union be restored by force or compromise Northern legisla tion upon Southern slavery is as futile as if Congress were by " Yeas" .and " Nays" to abolish slavery in Brrzil, or to enact universal suffrage and annual Parliaments in Great Britain. Its right to meddle with the question in the South is in process of arbi trament by the sword; and until the sword decides, its votes are nugatory and speeches empty words that signfy nothing but a powerless intention. In one view of the case, however, the vote of Tuesday is not without importance. It places a new barrier between North and South, and renders reunion more difficult than before. Possibly this was the object of its promoters. It looks far more like an arrow aimed at the Confederacy than an act of statesman ship, and will in all probability be accepted as such by the South. That slovery is doomed to extinction on the North American Continent is all but certain ; but if the Confederates retain the independence for which they have so gallantly struggled, the final settlement with the negro and the conditions and bases of his freedom will remain with the South, and not with the North, and are in no way affected by the harm less thunders of Boston or Washington. Like Mr. Lincoln's proclamations in the same vein , the vote of of Congress is subject to the fatal limitationwit want of power, besides being chargeable with the demerit of being animated far less b y the desire of conferring a benefit upon the slaves than of taking vengeance upon their masters.

The city, if not the whole of. Federal America, that no less a surprisepers yonestethrdanaymmr.orsn2.: was taken byby b learn inga d left morning Washington for Fortress Monroe to receive and con fer with Vice-President Stephens of the Southern Confederacy and two other prominent Southern gentlemen despatched from Richmond on an infor mal mission to the Federal Government. Last night the surprise was augmented by the announce ment that Mr. Seward had no sooner reached his destination than he had telegraphed to Mr. Lincoln to follow him without delay, and that Mr. Lincoln had packed his small effects in a carpet bag, and, attended by one servant, express too Annapolis within less than hour after the receipt of the message. Most people were in credulous, but the assertion came from so many and such independent sources in Washington that none who saw the telegrams could remain in doubt that the facts were substantially as stated, and that, waiving all considerations of his official or personal dignity, Mr. Lincoln, in the sacred interest and the firm hope of peace, had determined, remote from the intrigues, the cabals, and the passions of the capital, to hear with his own ears what proposals the Confederate emissaries had to convey, and to learn whether submission to the ancient constitu tion without further struggle or bloodshed were or were not in the heart of the Southern people. Of course, :under such extraordinary circumstances, the whole talk of the public in every circle, so ciety, and place of resort, as well as in the news papers, is of Peace. To cite all the rumours there are afloat would serve no good purpose, for they are not only contradictory and absurd, but evanescent, and live one moment but to fade away the next. Yet amid the multitude of assertions that are made and of hopes and opinions that are formed with reference to the startling turn which affairs have taken three separate theories challenge notice, as well from the standing and character of those who form them as for the inherent probability that they may be true. The first is that Mr. Lincoln having twice per mitted and encouraged Mr. Blair, senior, to proceed to Richmond, Mr. Jefferson Davis, not to be out done in courtesy, or to be justly accused of turning a deaf ear to all attempts at negotiation, has infor mally deputed three gentlemen highly respected at the South to confer with the Washington Adminis tration ; that the ultimatum is the recognition, pure and simple, of Southern independence, and that, consequently, nothing can come of it but a demon stration, both to North and South, that the war must continue ; to the. North, because it will hear of nothing but re-union, and to the South because it will hear of nothing but separation. The second theory which finds a great body of believers is that the South is exhausted ; that, despairing of recogni tion or help from Europe, the Sourthern people are bent upon peace ; that the Southern leaders, de sirous to secure their personal safety and to make terms, are willing to lend all their aid to bring about a re-union ; that Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward are as anxious for peace as the South, and that there are no terms to the people of the South and no favour, whether a general amnesty, the repeal of the Confiscation Act, compensation to all slave owners for the abolition of slavery, the assumption of the Southern debt, and the promotion of Mr. Davis and General Lee to high office under the Federal Go vernment, that would not be cheerfully granted upon the sole condition of a return of the Southern Statei to their allegiance individually or collec- This Day, at all Libraries, in one vol., dewy Bvo., SHAKSPERE : His Inner Life, as intimated in his Works.

Those who believe that the South is exhausted in men and money, in courage and in hope, by no means an inconsiderable section of the Northern people —assert that the negotiations, in scope, spirit, and tendency, were all that the most ardent lovers of peace could desire ; that Mr. Lin coln's sole condition w as th e U n i on, which, if . con ceded by the South, all que s ti ons of amnesty, debt, and confiscation would be settled i n t h e most gene rous and conciliatory spirit ; and that even the emancipation of the slaves, which Mr. Lincoln thought essential to future harmony of action among the States of the restored Union, would not only be made as gradual as the South desired, but would be accompanied with a liberal compensation to the slaveowners. They add that as Messrs. Stephens, Hunter, and Campbell were merely emissaries, and not plenipotentiaries, they could do no more than listen respectfully to Mr. Lincoln's ultimatum, and return forthwith to Richmond to report to Mr. Davis. In due time it is promised that the nego tiations will be resumed on this basis ; and that the world will witness the glorious—and to Europe the threatening—spectacle of a restored Union, trained in war, hardened in suffering, and ready for any enterprise of pith and moment, that may teach all other nations which presume to incur its wrath, or excite its jealousy, that America and not Europe represents modern ideas, modern civilisation, and modern power. But, although this is the notion of the credolous multitude, it is not that of the wiser few in the po litical circles of Washington and the financial centres of New York. There is not a particle of evidence to prove that the South is exhausted, though there is much to prove that it is disaatified with the conduct of the war, and with the preferences which Mr. Davis is alleged to have exhibited in the appoint ment of incompetent and the dismissal of competent generals. Neither does the reported evacuation of Mobile, or the approaching surrender or evacuation of Wilmington, and Charleston, and probably Rich mond itself, lead careful and unimpassioned stu dents of current history to believe that any or all of these events would sensibly damage the cause of the South, or do it greater injury than the loss of a mo mentary prestige, which the fortune of war at other points might suddenly restore. Gen. Lee has more than once declared that the temporary loss of the Atlantic cities would be of advantage to the Confe deracy, and that if he were relieved of the duty of defending them, he would be better able than ever to teach the North what the war meant, and the scale on which it should be conducted. As General Sherman—who if success be the test of ability—is by far the ablest general in the Federal army, is of the same opinion, it is argued that the cause of peace has not been advanced by the Conference, and that the only result will be to give each of the two Pre sidents a text to expatiate upon to his people in support of a more vigorous prosecution of hostili ties. The theory that the Confederate Goverment is really " the master of the situation," and that it has received positive assurances from its agents in Europe that the Emperor Napoleon will recognise its independence early in March, in return for cer tain commercial and political advantages, grows rapidly in favour, and is entertained by many who believe that Mr. Lincoln will prove more than a match for the Emperor in diplomacy, and secure for the North those terms which the South is supposed to be willing to concede to any power that shall acknowledge and make alliance with it. The Ame ricans are in the habit of boasting that the petty experiences of the old and effete world of Europe and Asia do not apply to their young and vigorous country, or serve as lights to guide them in their brilliant career ; that they have a way of their own of doing things ; that they make war on a grander scale than the paltry Xerxes, Sennacheribs, Calsars, Genghis-Khans, Napoleons, or Wellingtons of by gone days, and that when it suits them to make peace they will make it in a mode and at a time which shall astonish such " one-horse nations" as Great Britain and France, and be generally a " cau tion to the universe." Whatever be their ideas on the subject of French recognition, the Wall-street people do not encou rage the hope of speedy peace. Gold keeps remark ably steady amid all the exciting rumours of the last few days, and if it moves at all moves upwards. The failure of peace negotiations means more money ; and no one knows where it is to come from, unless from the printing-presses of the Treasury depart ment at Washington ; and it is not only the ques tion of money but of men that is embarrassing to all who admit the probability of continued hostili ties even for short a period as a year. Supposing that the recent negotiations have utterly failed, that the Northern Government will listen to no term that do not include, and are not based upon, the restoration of the Union; that the South is equally firm and intractable on the question of independence, and that no European Power, or combination of Powers, will cut the knot of the difficulty by recognition, to be followed, if necessary, by armed intervention, the North will find itself face to face with these its two oldest and most imperious perplexities and dangers. A scar city of men and a want of hard money will continue to embarass if not to confound its schemes. Great as are its resources, and obstinate as may its deter minaiion to sink all things for " Union," of what value are resources that cannot be utilized, and de terminations that are backed only by moral and not by physical agencies ? The revelations of the stu pendous frauds committed upon the Government and upon the several States and township s en g a g ed in furnishing recruits by the bounty brokers and the officials whom they have bribe d to aid in their forgeries and robberies are enoug h of themselves to warrant, if not to compel, the Government to re nounce all future reliance upon such a mode of recruiting its armies—a mode that costs immense sums of money, and procures either worthless re cruits or " bounty-jumpers," as they are called, who no sooner enlist than they desert, sometimes receiving the bounty-money no less than twenty seven times in as many different towns. The native born American no longer volunteers his services ; he has ceased to do so for at least two years, except in cases where his term of enlistment has expired and he has renewed it for the sake of the bounty money. The only other sources of supply are the emancipated negroes of the Sea Islands and the border, or the free-born negroes of the North, and the Irish, German, and to a smaller extent, the English immigration. These combined do not suffice to :maintain the Federal armies on the footing at which they stood when Grant and Sherman com menced the campaign of 1864. Since May last the Northern Generals are reported to have lost by the casualties of the battle-field, of the camp, of the swamp, of the hospital, and of the nefarious and tr have of e bounty-jumping, at least 200, 000 not been supplied with as many as 507n0eOcOtpotificlail toe gap.

Petroleum, cotton, and corn may bring gold from Europe in exchange, California may supply the precious metal as abundantly as ever, but all these commodities, though the supply be augmented from month to month, or even from day to day, will not provide means to carry on for another year such a war as any was waged i n th e l ast w i t h out greater l oans th an have yet been contracted,sanore financier moreabunhadsandat dared d su t e o s of greenbacksthan recommend. Neither Mr. Fessenden nor the Govern ment, nor any statesman in or out of office, looks upon a further depreciation of the currency without alarm. What to do under the circumstances is a puzzle to all but a few fanatics, who, with the pro verbial haste of fools to rush to the accomplishment of what angels might dread, insist that there is nothing but a forced conscription and unlimited issues of paper money that can enable the Federal Government to restore the Union, and constantly urge the adoption of these measures. As regards the conscription, they believe that the country (to use their own phrase) will " grin and bear it ;" and as regards the indefinite increase of the debt, and the equally indefinite depreciation of the currency, they continually assert that if the worst comes to the worst the debt can be repudiated ; that such re pudiation will only make a certain number of rich men poor ; that the resources of the country will remain undiminished ; and that such quondam rich men can easily start afresh in the world and be little the worse for the enforced con tributions of their whole wealth to the support of " the best Government the world ever saw." It is palpable and notorious that the idea of repudiation has few terrors to the American mind. No one can mingle much in any society where politics are dis cussed without discovering very soon that the labour ing classes and the poorer people engaged in trade, commerce, and agriculture, who own no Govern ment stock and pay no direct taxes, who have the voting power in their hands under the system of universal suffrage, and feel to their cost that the war has deprived the dollar of half its value and raised the price of the necessaries of life 250 per cent., will have no scruple, if the case be brought before them, to vote for the application of what they call a " mighty big sponge" to the whole of the Federal debt. And this, as Mr. Lincoln might say, " suggests a little anecdote." An eminent judge was recently waited upon by a large and respectable deputation of his fellow-citizens and asked to "run" as candidate for the governorship of his native State. " No, thank you," he replied ; " I will not run for any office just now. My time has not come. In 1868 I intend to ' run' for the Presidency in suc cession to Mr. Lincoln, upon the broad platform of Repudiation. If I do, I guess I shall carry every thing before me." The war news becomes of renewed importance by the close of the suspension, whichever it may be, of the peace negotiations. Grant's army, asl announced by telegraph a week ago, was put in motion immedi ately on Mr. Lincoln's departure from Hampton Roads, and its first operation only publicly announced this evening, was a flank march in the rear of Peters burgh, on the banks of a small stream called Hatcher's Run. A sharp skirmish with the Confederates was the only result, but the indications are that a great battle is likely to be fought before many hours, unless General Lee, as some suppose, has resolved on evacuating Petersburg for the purpose of sending reinforcements to General Beauregard to oppose the march of General Sherman on Branchville or Charleston. Sherman at last accounts was within 30 miles of the last-named city, impeded by the morasses of the vicinity as well as by the bad weather. A heavy snow storm, extending according to the telegraphic despatches from Maine to Virginia, and possibly into the Carolinas, set in this after noon, and after covering the earth four inches deep has been succeeded by a pelting and continuous fall of rain and sleet, filling the streets of this wretchedly paved city with mire and slush and half-melted snow far above the ankles of pedestrians, and doubtless rendering all army movements in Virginia impossible until a frost shall once more harden the roads. Late and very direct and trustworthy reports from the South represent the Confederates to be confident of their ability to carry on the campaign of 1865 without the aid of negro soldiers, except for camp duty. Large reinforcements have been sent to South Carolina. The spirit of the men and their officers is buoyant and determined, and all speak encourag ingly of their ability to try conclusions with Sherman. The Federal fleet has not been able to advance up Cape Fear River on account of obstructions, and. the opportunity for the easy capture of Wilmington has been lost. The fleet is now within four miles of Fort Anderson, on the opposite side of the river to that on which the land forces are stationed, and no attempt has as yet been made to attack it. The Confederate prisoners taken at Fort Fisher muchex ;o p t r w ess i thstanclig t n indit e natgrioenat perilagas in against General the Bragg.fort had been subjected on the first attempt by Admiral Porter, when, in fact, it would have been com pelled to surrender almost without a blow if Butler had had the nerve to assault, they allege that Bragg neglected to take proper precautions to repel a second attack. He had one of the best corps of Lee's veteran army under his com mand, and yet, they say, he intrusted the defence to a few raw troops from North Carolina, one regiment of whom surrendered without firing a shot. SALMON FISHINGS.—The season for 1865 com menced on the 11th inst., and in our day was unpreceden tedly successful. The number of fish taken by net at the top of the river was / more than sufficient to pay the rent of the whole year. After satisfying the local demand about 10 cwt. was sent south, and since then there has been a. • large supply of clean run fis h. It has been remarked that the average weight has been greater than on almost any previous occasion, many of the fish exceeding 201 b., and one n in on th s e a s t te ur ll fia fi y y t in he g fir be: of them weighing 301 b. Nearly 200 salmon were taken in the Dunean and Dochfour waters, and it is evident that but no there is a steady run of fish from the fact that since the ereuonuotCcupied opening day there has been no tide blank at the Friar's Shot, the first pool netted on the river.

The mode of cure is simple, innocent, and effective. Holloway's ointment should be thoroughly rubbed upon the front of the chest and between the blade bones twice a day, while the blood. is undergoing purification by appropriate doses of his pills. A double result is thus secured: the air tubes are relieved of accumulated phlegm, and the lungs are freed from any impure circulation. These favouring conditions remove the cause, and the cough ceases. By the same means and with equal facility the treatment by Holloway's inestimable remedies will overcome ulcerated and sore throats, diptheria, bronchitis, pleurisy, and pulmonary congestiTe complaints.
