IN FAVOR OF PEACE.

We have no d 'ubt that the following Ell
tract from the correspondence oil the Bslti-
more Patriot. correctly expresses the feeling
Of the country
The feeling in favor Of peace is manifestly
Increasing. not only here. but all over the
country. This results. no doubt. from the
TACT, that the people begin to see and expcri-
ence the evil effects Of q continuance of hos.
t"ilitics upon all the various interests Of the
nation. An immense public debt. of not less
than seventy millions of dollars. at the end
of the present fiscal year. il is now apparent.
will be one of the fruits Of the war. This.
together with innumerable other disasters
growing out Of il, has opened the ewes Of
many to the true state Of affairs; and. unless
| am very much mistaken. the dav is not dis.
tant. when the general voice of the people
will demand of Congress and the Government
such measures as will lead to an early termin-
alton Of the conflict.

THE WOLF AND THE LAMB.

<AAN1 Ahih
lone hot sultry day, a Wolf and a Lamb
happened to COM just At the same time TO
qurnch their thirst in the stream OF q brook
that tell tumbling down the side of a rocky
mountain. The Wolf stood upon the higher
ground and the Lamb AT some distance below
him. However, the Wolf, having a mind TO
pick q quarrel with the Lamb, asked him what
he meant BY disturbing the water, and max
ing it 50 muddy that he could not drink and
al the same time, demanded satisfaction.-
The Lamb, frightened at this threatening
charge. told him, in a tone as mild as posi-
be. that with humble submission, he could
not conceive how that could be, since the
water which he drank ran down from the
Wolf to him, aud therefore could not b. dis
turbed so lar up the stream. Be that as il
may, replies the Wolf. you are a rascal, and
| have been tod that you used i'll language
concerning me behind my back, about halls
year ago. Upon my word, says the Lamb,
the time you mention was before | was
born. The Wolf. finding it 10 no purpose To
argue any longer against truth. Tell into a great
passion, s%nariins and foaming at the mouth
as il he had been mad; and drawing rear TO

The Baltimore Patriot suggests that The re-
suit Of the battle n Buena Vista, which had

pursue the fable TO its catastrophe. Il has
