No Negotiation with Rebels.

Under this head, the n Y. Commercial Al
rcrtiscr has a powerful leader, which will meet
cordial response from the people of the whole
North, who are now Il unit in regard to the
great rebellion. On the subject of further con
cessions to the South, the Commercial says
Not another word Of concession, or comprom-
Use, or negotiation, or truce, or aught else until
tho foil authority of the lawfully constituted
Federal Government ia established and openly
recognized in every inch Of the territory now in
rebellion against it. No truce until the leaders
Of the rebellion, those who commenced the war
upon cur Nag and our national sovereignty,
Davis and Stephens and the whole rebel Cabi-
net and Boauregard and Twiggs and Ietcher,
and all other leading traitors, are surrendered

ment to he dealt with as their crimes demand -
NO truce until the troops of the United States

citizen can travel at will through every State

ANOTHER ATTEMPT

The Syracuse Journal states that just as
the presidential train was leaving Cincin-
natl a grenade Of the most destructive
character was discovered in the car cccupi-
ed by Mr.. Lincoln, his family and personal
friends It was found in small carpet
bag which was found deposited in seat
of the car by some unknown person. At
tention was drawn to it from the fact that
no baggage was allowed in the cars. On
examination the grenade concealed in the
carpet bag was discovered to be igpted
and so arranged that within fifteen min
utes it would have exploded with force
sufficient to have demolished the car and
destroyed the lives Of all the persons in it.

A Wolf Chase on the Ice.
From the st. Joseph Traveller.

While James Graham. our wide-awaks
Sheriff, was cut with a party skating on
the river a few days since he observed as
he was gliding swiftly along over the
smooth ice in advance of bis companions, a
large wolf crossing the river just few
rods ahead of him, when he imediately
gave chase The frightened brute turned
down the stream, finding his pursuer would
cut him off before he eeuld possibly reach
the opposite bank, and ran as fast as lie
could, which was net at his greatest pace,
owing to the smoothness of the ice The
Sheriff, intent on his game, lent his whole
energies to aecelerating his pace, keeping
his eye on the gaunt creature before h.M
and being a superior skater, he gained
upon him at every stroke; but, when with
in almost reach Of the animal, be happened
to cast his eye ahead. and there within a
half dozen yards was an open stretch Of
water Of several reds in width, into which
the wolf sprang, followed of course by the
Sheriff, who was unable to check his mo-
mentam soon enough to avoid the disaster.
Finding himself Sin for it, he laid hold of
the growing, snapl;ng brute, thereby buoy
ing himself up until his comrades arrived,
when be was pulled out, and the cause Of
his cold bath forthwith killed.

Feeling at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Feb. %. A very large crowd
greeted the arrival OF the train bringing tbs
Presidential party, at New York, .
Mr.. Wood announced from the rear
platform that Mr. Lincoln was not on
board, having gone direct to Washington.
Mr.. Wood then introduced Robert lin
coin, who happened to stand beside him.
and very much to the latter's establishment.
At 1l:40 the train passed the Mary land
boundary.
The Committee from Baltimore joined
the party at Harrisburg, consisting Of w.
G. Bretken, W F. MARSHALL, D. Bluenberg
W Boil, J. Bishop, W. T. Gleason, John
Farmer and H. S Corkson. The latter on
behalf of the electoral college All of them
feel very indignant at The want of confidence
in the citizens of Baltimore, as evidenced
by Mr. Lincoln's course, though it is
understood he was opposed to it hut was
overruled by other parties, who have as
sumed control Of his movements.
A crowd blocked up all the Calvert
Street Depot, and on the arrival Of the
train greeto it with groans on learning
that Mr.. Lincoln was not on board.
Arrangements had been made here for
securing the safe and respectful transit
of Mr.. Lincoln through tie city. The
police force was all out and equipped, and
all good citizens were anxious that no
indignty should have been manifested
The opinion entertained was that certain
disreputable parties, who lately attached
themselves to the Republican organization
here and who were expected to make q
demonstration. would have aroused bad
feeling in the minds of some, and especially
caused disturbance; otherwise there was
no reason to appreberd anything nnPleasaRs

Attempts Upon Mr.. Linoo.n's Life.

An attempt was made on the 1th inst.
Co wreck the train bearing the President
elect and suite, about one mile west Of the
State line. The particulars, as given us
by Mr.. Rich, of tie Toledo and Western
Railroad are that short time before the
train was due at the State line, an engineer
found it necessary to run out to the wood
yard for fuel. Running at moderate
speed he noticed an obstruction on tho
track, and stopping his engine found that
a machine for putting cars on the track
had been fastened upon the rails in such a
manner that if train running at full
speed had struck it, the engine and cars
must have been thrown of. and many per-
sons killed The matter would have been
made public before, but it was hopcd that
the perpetrators of this dastardly outrage
could be detected and brought to justice,
The whole thing was admirably planned
the obstruction so near station and on a
straight track, where it would not be deem
ed necessary to exercise any great degree
of caution.

Interesting Correspondence

There is a remarkable likeness running
throughout rature. To illustrate tie fact
look at the striking similarity, in one res
pect at least, between men and brutes. -
As in the feathered tribe the fnny tribe,
and amongst quadrupeds, there are always
found those individuals which devour their
fellows, the same fact is equally trre of
mankind. How large a portion of the
people live upon their brothers, just as vo-
racious and hungry fish eat up smaller ones,
probably few have correct idea How
adroitly it is done, forcibly reminds one Of
the setting Of the web to catch the unsus-
pee ting fly. When tie simple human vic
tim sees the gilded bait, 1t is quite too
much for his weak nerves ard still weaker
understanding, and be Immediately feels a
Shrll through the system, as when the in
weighed trout sees the bobbing covering to
the hook, or the charmed bird fixes its eye
upon the snake. If possible, to o. en- the
