GTy" We copy the following items from the New York Journal of Commerce of the 29th ult
 TEE PROPOSED PEACE NETT NGs.--A cor respondent, writing on this subject, says: ''l desire simply to say that the proposal to hold a peace meeting in New York is worth taking into consideration. The people are ahead of you could they speak--they are always wiser than the papers. It is not too late to send the olive branch of peace founded upon justice. Blessed thrice blessed are the peace makers. :"
 The hotel business in New York is exceed ingly dull. Compared with last year at this time. almost nothing is doing. The property owners in some instances have been offered the choice of closing up the premises or accept inr a nominal rent--andlords and tenants dividing the losses.
 The French gun boat Jerome Napoleon, Commander Buisson, arrived here on Satur- day from Toulon via Halifax. The is pre- heller, 250 horse power, carries two 12 pOun- ders, and has crew of 118, officers included.
 The Boston Commercial Bulleten has receiv- ed positive information, through gentleman recently arrived from New Orleans, that our Pacific coast is in much greater danger from privateers, than our Atlantic coast, and there is located there colony of Southern men who are prepering to fit out privateers to attack our commerce in those waters.
 The Sixty-ninth regiment N. Y. s. M., ar rived in this city at pier No. l, about T o'clock on Saturday morning, and were greeted with cheers by acres of our Hibernian popu- lation, men, women and children, who had gathered on the battery and the adjacent streets at an early hour and many of whom had been up all night awaiting the return of the brave sol diers Their appearance as they filed off the boat and formed line in the street was a sad one and presented the shady side of war.
 Many carried their hands in slings, or lim- ped, or had their heads bound up; and nearly all exhibited rags, and borrowed, ill-ftting hats and coats in place of the tidy uniform which they took with them, The whole regi- ment looked overworked and fatigued, though not discouraged or dispirited. All their ban ners were dim with the smoke of battle, and several of them were torn by the shot of the enemy.

THR RETREAT TO ALEXANDRIA. The scenes Witnessed in Alexandria, the day after the battle. will never pass from my mind. Foot sore blood stained, weary and exhausted from exposure and want of food, returned the frag- ments of Regiments. In many instances without coats, and eveh shoes; they came back cursing the day. and also the men who had led them into such trap. It was then that the chiv- alric spirit of the South shone forth in the deeds of her children. As an invading foe, shouting the war-cry of son to Richmond.v they had shrunk from them in disgust At their hands the wives and sisters of the South ern soldiers had received the most gratuitous insults; but when they returned fallen, and crushed going to and fro bewildered herd, seeking vainly for their officers and comrades; these Southerners whom they had injured, pro- yided food for them, tenderly cared for their wounded. and in deep pity for their wretched state, seemed to forget that they had been their enemies l should neve. have surmised such victory had been gained, or that the men thus teaderiycared for were the same who haa m Vaded their soil, or taken up arms against them; 1t is noted fact thet the only house closed against them were the homes ot prominent Union men, and the only hauds not stretched forth to aid them were those which in their onward march had vavd the "stars and stripes.n

lowing proclamation to the people of Mis- souri
 TO THE PEOPLE OF MISSOURI.
 NEW MADRID, Mo-. July 30
 The forces under my command are your neighbors, and we come at the instance and request of the Governor of your State, as al- lies to protect you against tyranny and op- pression. As Tennesseans. we have deeply sympathized with ou. When you were called to arms, and manifested determination to re- sist the usnrper who has trampled under his feet the constitution of the government, and destroyed all the guards so carefully prepared for the protection of the liberties of the peo- pie by our fathers and when you call for help Tennessee sends her al my composed of her cherished sons to your aid.
 We will help you expe from your borders the population hostile to your rights and insti- tutions-treating all such as enemies if found under arms. We will protect your people from wrongs of our army, and while we have every reason to believe that no violence will be done to your true hearted and loyal people, the general commanding begs to be informed if any case of wrong should occur.
 To the gallant army under his command, who hold in their keeping the honor of Ten nessee (though composed of Tennesseans, Mis- sissippians and Kentuckians,) he appeals as a father of his children--to violate the right of no peaceable citizens, but to guard the honor of Tennessee as you would that of an atlec- tionate mother, cheering you as her sons.
 The field for active service is before you-- our stay here will be short--our mission is to place our down -trodden sister on her feet, and to enable her to breath after the heavy tread of the tyran2s foot.
 Then by her own brave sons, she will main- tain her rights and protect her own fair wo- men from the foe whose forces march under banners inscribed with 'booty and beauty" as the reward for victory.
 In the.victory the brave are always merciful but no quarter will be shown to troops march ing under such banner
 In this view, and for these purposes, we call upon the people of Missouri to come to our standard, join in our forces and aid in their own liberation. If you would be freemen you must fight for you rights.
 Bring such arms as you have--we will fur nsh you with ammunition aud lead you on to victory That the just ruler of nations is with us, is manifested in the glorious victory with which our arms were crowned at the bloody field of Manassas.

DAVIS AND LINcoLN.--A correspondent of the N. o. Crescent, gives that paper the following etymological analysis:
 "Davis in the Galic orthography for David which signifies wELL-BELovED; ani his repu- tation maintains its original signifcation as a great leader of an oppressed people, who are freeing themselves of the tyrant's yoke.
 Lincoln, authentically traced to its origin, is found to be compound word in the Celtic tongue, LIN and COLIN. ''Liu" means pool, mire, mud. 'sColn' is contraction of colon, which in this connection signifies an inhabi- tant of colony. Therefore, Lincoln origi- nally signifies the inhabitant of mud colony, which modernized, may be the same as MUD SUCKER. This probably accounts for his not being very clear

MR CaIrrFNpEN.--The Washington cor respondent of the New York Evening Post says that no one seemed to feel the depression Of the defeat more intensely than MT. Critten- den, of Kentucky. When he rose on Monday morning, he asked" We'll, what further news?'' He had gone to bed under the deusion that the Federal army had triumphed. 'FWe are routed--utterly routed," was the response to his question. The old man started back in astonishment, and when the facts were brought before him he went back sat down, and putting his head down upon his hands, burst into tears

How BRAVE MAN DIED.--The Hon. T. R. Cobb delivered in the Confederate congress, on the 24th inst, beautiful and eloquent eu- ,ogy on Gen. Francis s Barlow, of Georgia, who was killed in the battle of the 21st., from which we take the following extract:
 Of the manner of his death, Mir. President, can only speak from rumor, but have taken pains to inquire from those who were nearest to him on that memorable occasion. and there fore may speak with accuracy During the day his own command had suffered much. Towards noon it be came necessary, as l un- derstand for the left wing of our army, to keep from being tlanked by the enemy, to fall back further and further towards its original posi- tion, occupied in the morning. About this time, the exact hour cannot tell, my friend approached Beauregard the General com mapding, and said:
 'sWhat shall now be doHe Ielll and if human effort can avail, will do fl r fbe reply was, F'that battery sgonla be si lencev Seizing the standard of his own regiment, and calling the remnants of his command to rally and follow him, he led the van in the charge of battle. A ball wounded him sligh- tly and killed his horse under him. Still grasping the standard and rising again, he mounted another horse, and waving his cap around his head, he cheered his boys to come on. They followed. The next wound was from ball that entered his heart He spoke afterwards to the few of his brave boys who gathered around him. His words will ever be memorable He said, ''they have killed me, but hever give up the fields.o That last com mand was galantly obeyed and his boys silen- ced the battery of which he died in the charge

THREE MONTHS VoLUNTEERs.-1h North ern press is teeming with criminaiions which it heaps upon the three months volunteers who have returned and refuse to be parties in the intended subiugation of oul fair land. Every device and species of abuse IS cast upon them and not unfrequently the broaa-mouthed cannon is turned upon their ranks, yet with no efTect--they have thrown down their arms and are determined to go home.
 fcY" We are afraid that "Oid Abe" does not read his Bible He says in his message
 'ESo large an army as the Government has now on foot was never before known"
 But if he will read the Books of Exodus and numbers, ha will learn that the Israelitcs had an army of 603,55O, and all volunteers at that.
