A Soldiers Opinion OF the Peace Party.

A Soldiers Opinion OF the Peace Party.
Capt. B. H. Myers, OF one of the Indians
regiments now serving 10 Western Virginia,
writes as follows 10 reference to the "Peaee
Party" movement:
see by the papers and by the resolutions
Of some Democratic meetings that there s
an effort being made to inaugurale what is
called Peace, or Compromise party iu the
States. This can only be conclusive of ee.
rious mischief. Its effect will be TO prolons
the war-and add to the already heavy list
of slaughtered on our side. To cry for
peace or compromise after our defeat at
Manassas, until we have redeemed ourselves
from the disgrace attending our unexpected
rout there, is but palpable admission OF
our weakness or cOwardice, and perhaps
both, to the whole civilized wOEld, No such
political project can secure my sympathy,
The day of Compromise, with me is past
while the blood Of my fei0w-sOdiers is
crying in thunder tones from the ground,
that their fall be avenged. He who agiiatep
il is disguised traitor, under whatsoever
name he may attempt il. detest that the
sacred name of Democracy shall be used to
thwart the wishes of patriots everywhere,
by secession traitors ia our own door.y yards.
Ybe language of Compromise and Peace, is
to- The rebels, hold out yet while,-we will
triumph and then you may, with impunity,
reud ssunder, this, the Government of our
fathers. But stop, ! am soldier, and
should not let my feelings be carried away
by auy political movement al home. But Il
makes rne so id mad-to hear Peace
Compro mise, when the result of it may be
to cost me life or limb. or that of some OF
the true and brave boys have under me.
that l cannot refrain an expression. If al
home how would like to excorate the
scamp who favors so ruinous aud so das-
tardly policy.
Better if they are sincere in their protes.
tations and desire for peace, that they
shoulder their muskets- into the SER
vice, and assist us in acquiring an honorable
peace. ] will never consent TO lay down
my arms till treason AID traitors are pun!
ished and the precedent attempted TO be cs.
tablished, that upon The snccess of this or
that party, il distasteful, a band Of traitors
may revOlutionize the Government, wholly
dissipated. The question now is a Govern.
ment or no Government. Whether it is de-
stroyed by treason, or as successfully done
by Northern traitors by Compromise, is
wholly Indifferent. You now have my
opinion, in part, as to Peace Party.

GENERAL MODowELL.-One of the items
Of good news received from Washington is,
that Gen. Mcdowell is TO be made Major
General and placed in command of one Of
the divisions of the Grand Army. There is
nothing which has been so strongly indica
tive Of Gen. McClellan's good sense, or
which in the estimation of the judicious has
given greater satisfaction, than his showing
of cordial respect and sympathy for Gen.
Mcdowell. II is conceded by military meu,

the intelligent public, that Gen. McDOwelPs

as it adorns the true woman. He had. long

JOHNSTON AND BEAUREGARD.-A cores
pondent records his impressions Of Generals
Johnston and Beauregard. as follows.
have had the pleasure of seeing Gener-
al Johnston. he looks like General. He
is about five feet eight or zine inches in
hight. good form, very erect, handsome
face, thick moustache, and beard somewhat
sprinked with white. His hair is slightly
grey. His organs of benevolence and ven.
GRAFTON are extremely large. He should
talk well and speak 1uently. He has the
decided advantage over Gen. Beauregard,
as far as appearance goes. OF the two, at
first sight, | would prefer Gen. Johnston.
The difference between the two are, | i'm
agine, these: Beauregard is merely mill
tary man, and looks chiefly at military re.
suits. Johnston looks at political as well
as military results. Beauregard has the
most cantiOusness, and, | think. most deter.
minaton; that is, BeauTegard wOnld never
give up, but wonld fight even against hope
Johnston, on the contrary, with his large
benevOlence. would look beyond mere re-
sistance, and would not sacrifice life where
there was no hope 10 fighting. Politically
the other considerations would govern him.
But Beauregard would fight on and fight
forever. Johnston having less cautiousness
| think would make the most daring moves
and the most rash charges, and we all know
that 10 even apparent rashuess is often the
extreme of prudence. Beauregard would
probably be the safest commander 10 de
fence. Johnston would create the greatest
enthusiasm. and in desperate charge would
succeed best.

A FEMALE SARDANAPALAs.-A woman OF
the name Of Bachelor, who occupied gar
ret in the Rue des Amanders. in Paris, had
received notice TO quit from her landlord
in consequence of her habitual drunkenness
and the constant annoyance which her con-
duct occasioned the other tenants. The
quarter was allowed TO expire, but the
troublesome lodger took no steps to provide
herself with another home. The landlord
at last thI eateBed 10 call in the assistance
of the police. Hereupon The little old wo-
man vented her indignation in a torrent Of
abuse, saying the commissary might come
the next morning, for she would clear away
her things before then. Early on the fol-
lowing morning thick smoke was seen 10
escape from the chamber occupied by the
refractory lOdPer. The door was broken
open, when it was discovered that the whole
room was on fire. The lremen were i'm
mediately on the spot, and, by their exer-
tons, the conaagration was prevented from
extending to the rest Of the house. A hor-
rible spectacle meanwhile presented itself.
In corner OF the room had been raised
kind of funeral pile, TO which every CON-
bustible article, bedstead, bedding and
chairs, had been made to contribute, and on
the top Of these was the body OF woman,
completely calcined. 1t is supposed that,
by way Of rcvenging herself on the land
lord. she bad resolved TO make her own
death cause of destruction to the whole
house.
