lionel Forney.
Ool. Fnrney writes from Wash
inRton TO the Philadelphia Press, o.
Saturday, in a h peful spirit, liz
says:
Ann neither a Prophet nor the
con OF Prophet, but think we ar,
on tho read to an honorable and
lasting peaec. II will be y conquer.
cd peace "a peace won at tho can.
NONE mouth, sealed with the blood
Of traitors and established upon the
basis Of the old Constitution, to fsst,
let US hope, through enduring gen.
erations. There is one suhj'ct up
on which loyal men may freely write,
and that is the approaching over.
throw Of tho Southern despotism, and
by consequence, tho proclamation
OF enduring peace. IL is trus we
must roach tho end through war, mn !
carnage, and death. Bu' we will
reach Il. When General Mcclellan
encounters General Bcanrrsard he
will annihilate him, and will Il,compel
a surrender that will bc followed, |
predict. by perpetual peace. This
is bold language, but am willing
70 stake my reputation upon it; and
hero arc some Of tho reasons Tor the
faith that is in me:
lfyou will reprint and road the
extracts from the Baltimore San OF
this morning, yon will see that III 1t
teras was more than G 'inpcnsation
for Manassas, and that the whole
people of North Carolina feel the
blow struck by Butler and String
ham, as il 1t had reached every heart
and hearth stone In tho State. II
has aroused them to a double sense
OF the power OF our great govern
ment, and OF the weakness of that
counterfeit ono which has covered
them with irrcparable calamities.-
l, has given voice to honest com-
plant, courage TO an ovorborne pa.
triotism, and Wit lity to the contempt
sincerely entertained Tor tho Rich
inond ban iitti. When this conspira-
cy commenced, | stated, in almost
direct terms, that the Southern states
would be surrounded by the awful
power of tho federal government;
eaten up by their own factions;
starvcd out by an efficient blocka ie;
taxed and plundcred for the support
Of u ravenous rebellion; and because
Of tho shamelcsness OF their revolt
and because ofthe atrocity ofmaking
slavery the prttcxt of war upon
christianity and civilization, certain
TO fal. under the Judgment of very
ROvcrnm int on the inco of the rth.
Has nor this horoscope been az;
ready more thsn half accomplished
Mccullough is flying into Arkansas;
Magolfin covers before the federal
authority and the ecrce of the bal
lot in Kentucky; llardee ia retreat
ing along tho Mississippi; Rosecrans
is holding Lae, and Floyd ani Wise,
in check; tn" Baltimore mob, man
aclcj and silent, glares powcrless Al
tho feet Of General Dix. " il even
rumorcd that the "grand army" that
now threatens Mcclellan on the
shores opposite Washington, will
break up and dissolve. Meanwhile
tho book ade is stretching its long
arms, and will presently hug the
whole confcderacy in an iron and
wooden embrace. Tho Union men
Of oil the slave states will shortly
rise from whispered complaint into
open denunciation, and tho mos tpo'
tent enemies of the rebellion will te
found in the states now under it,
thrsldom. So that you see that my
prediction is on the eve Of fulfilment
that pence is to come from tho effort
Of our Soldiers, and not from the in
trigues and treachery OF those whit
can sec nothing dishnnorable in th'
degradation aud humiliation OF thu
North.
