A Proper Distinction.

A broad distinction, snys the New
York Journal of Commerce, exists be-
tween those who are lovers of peace for
its own sake, on principle, and those
who cry peace when there is no peace,
for the purpose of aiding m enemy, or
with the design of embarrassing the
Government. 1t would be we'll for
every one who imagines himself impelled
by pure Christian motives in opposing
war, and counselling peace, to inquire
calmly and deliberately for the means Of
obtaining that which he desires. In
other words, let him sit down with pen
and paper and draw up plan or treaty
of peace for the present emergency. 1t
has been tried by good men, and they
have failed. The same experiment has
been tried in every war of modern times.
We can always name terms of peace for
ourselves, but we seldom can for our
enemies, and hence, in every instance
where Christian nations have been
plunged into war, tho hearts of good
men have sought with anxiety for peace
from the moment of the first collision,
but finding no opening, have been con-
tent to wait the time when the provi-
dence Of God should make it possible.
To cry peace, peace, is no way for rea-
sonable man to obtain peace. If you
demand thing as duty, show the way
to do it. and when you say the country
must have peace. add to it suggestion
of the practical course for the Govern
ment to pursue in laying down arms.
That the moment will come when q
lasting, honorable and glorious peace
can be effected, we have not the slightest
doubt. We shall be ready, and we be-
lieve the whole North are ready, to well
come the moment with exultation. But
we do not expect it until we see some
indications of desire for it on the other
side. and when that is visible the end of
the war is at hand,

A Valuable Remedy.

Every family should keep a small
quantity of chlorate OF potash: We
have never found anything equal to it
for simple liberated sore throat. Dis
solve a small teaspoonful in a tumbler of
water /; and then occasionally take tea
spoonful of the solution so as to garple
the throat. 1t is nearly tasteless aud
not at all offensive to take, and hence it
is we'll adapted to children.
Nothing is better for chapped or
cracked hands. Wash them in the weak
solution and they will soon be we'll. Il
is also good for a rough. pimply, or
cbapped face. 1t may be had Ut any
druggists.
Common salt has been strongly re-
commended for the incipient stages of
that dreadful disease, Di ptbetia; but
have no doubt this would be better.

and State sovereignty, there are military
and political necessities which override
these rights as measures Of retaliation in
a great revolution like the present.
Kentucky may bend her knee at present
to the Baal of Abolitioni.m, but the
strong arm of our national power will
rescue her from the possession of the
enemy before the termination of this
war as certainly and effectually as the
vast expanse of our territory upon the
golden coast of the Pacific was rescued
from the hands of PROSTATE Mexico. -
The truth had as we'll be spoken, and
we can tell her citizens-loyalists and
traitors.-that no such idea has ever for
one moment entered the mis-. of the
Southern people as that she shall remain

potsm. The South needs her territory,

Why Children Die.

The reason why children die, SAYS
Halls Journal of Health, is because the '
are not taken care Of. From the day Of
their birth they are stupefied with phys
ic, sloshed with water. suffocated in hot
rooms. steamed in bed clothes. So
much for indoor. When permitted to
breathe of pure air, at once a week in
summer, and once or twice during the
colder months, only the nose is allowed
to peer in daylight. A little later they
are sent out with no clothes on at all on
the parts of the body which need pro-
tection-bare legs, bare arms, bare necks,
girted middles, with an inverted um-
brella to collect the air and chill the
other parts of the body. A stout,
strong man goes out on q cold day with
gloves and overcoat, woolen stockings,
and thick double solod boots, with cork
between and rubbers over. The same
day child of flesh and blood, and bone
and constitution, goes out with shoes ss

From the National IntelIigencer.
An Oracle OF the "Peace Party

A body of highly intelligent gentle
men assembled few days ago in the
city of Baltimore under tho name of a
Peace Convention. Plain minds,
not duly sensible chow largely even
honest men, in the pitiablo weakness of
human judgment, hoodwinked by natu-
raj affection, social relations, and sur
rounding influences, may be hindered

legations of duty" would rush at once
to the conclusion that this assemblage
met especially to deprecato the rash and
reckless proceedings. both civil and mil
itary, of the Disunion agitators who
have plunged the nation into q sea of
blood. But not so. This peace"
Convention had no word of rcbuke or
remonstrance for the headlong "archi-
tects of ruin" who first precipitated this
political crisis and who first brought
it to belligerent issue. One would
naturally suppose that in proportion to
the sincerity and fervor with which they
espouse the cause of peace would be
their antipathy to those who so rashly
invoked on their own heads the Divine
malediction pronounced on all who draw
the sword" they shall perish by the
sword" How much more suitable to
the character of peace Convention"
worthy of the name, would have been
fervent expostulation addre ssed to the
people Of the South, in earnest entreaty
that they would return the sword to the
scabbard, from which it should never
have been drawn in provocation of a
"deplorable civil war !"
And into what alliances does the
"Peace Party" of Maryland propose to
enter? We answer that it joins hands
not only with the men who were tho
first to "cry havoc" in this day of civil
confusion, but with men who wage
war of internecine ferocity as contrary
to the usages of civilized nations as it is
destructive to the Constitution and sub
versive of the laws of the land and
while they plead for peace in Maryland,
the men for whom they plead in the Sc
ceded States grow hoarse in fierce de-
nunciation of war against all who do
not yield swift compliance to their ar
rogant behests.

The Cause OF the Burning.

A correspondent of the Steubenyills
Herald, writing of the recent defeat and
punishment of the Secessionists in Boone
County says:
"A private, who was carrying small
Union flag, was fred at from a house
as the troops were marching through
the town, the ball passing through both
legs. This 50 fred the soldiers that
they concluded to fire the town, which

What They Have Lost.

The Secessionists of the seeded States
say that they are fighting for everything
dear to freemen. We don't see that
they have gained anything. but it is very
easy to see what they have lost. A
mong their losses a contemporary emu
merates these:
1. They have lost the liberty of free
speech, the dearest right of freeman.
They dare not speak except in one way.
The tyranny aud cruelties of Caligula
Nero were tender mercies compared with
the reign Of terror now pervading the
seeding States.
2. They have lost the right of voting
upon the Constitution under which they
live. The voice Of the people are
hushed. and they are bound hand and
foot. and are at the mercy of the few
purse proud aristocrats.
8. They have lost at leastiifty per cent.
Of the value of their property, and re-
ceived in its stead an increased taxa
ton.
4. They have lost their titles to their
property, it being subject to confsca-
ton for the support of those whose feet
are upon their nccks.
5. They have lost their trade and
commerce. all kinds of business being
completely prostrated.
6. And last, though not least, they
have lost their self-respect and civiliza-
tion. They repudiate their debts, and
appropriate other peoples property, and
make virtue Of it.
7. For opinions sake they commit
barbaritics upon citizens of the United
States which the most untutored and in-

The Nations Settled Purpose.

The great body of the people of the
Union have accepted the issue of war in
spirit singularly calm as well as deter
mined, and enter on the great duties 1t
imposes with q cool spirit of calculation
which amply considers the worst as well
as the best fortune that may attend it to
the end. There was never a spectacle
seen ofsuch philosophical thoughtfuluess,
such passionless prosecution of duty as
this which animates the whole of the 10y :
al twenty-five millions. from the Presi-
dent down to the humblest soldier. Cit
izens of every pursuit submit with social
coolness to whatever the situation brings
them, whether it be losses outright, such
as are ordinarily counted ruinous, or the
paralysis of business which entails loss of
resources finally as great as those accru-
ing from the con6scation Of debts months
ago by order of some confederate State.
Business is moulding itself to the present
state of affairs with extraordinary facility.
1t is not killed by being cut off at one
market by any means, and the same en-
ergy and skill which have given us the
command Of the southern States trade will
open new lines, domestic or foreign. in
which northern capital and labor will be
fully and proftably occupied.
The war also is business with US
henceforth, until it is ended as it should
be. The machinery for its prosecution
will be prepared on the most comprehen
sive scale. and the men to work this ma
chinery volunteer in the same spirit. 1t
is clearly Wholesale business, an opera
tion requiring the highest degree of tai
ent. and the most thorough and system
attic set of appliances. We can furnish
them. The work is quite within the pow
er Of the twenty millions of the loyal
States, and division of opinion exists no
longer as to our duty to do the work, or
as to the mode of doing it. These things
being settled. the confederate States may
as we'll look carefully at what they have
undertaken. and measure their means by
the side of their task. Even they must
admit that war, a. deliberate busi-
ness, we have tenfold their capacity 10
accomplish results. The comparison is
really the same as between their cities
and ours, their railroads, their ships at
at sea, and their development in every
respect. They cannot exteuporizs re-
sources or make passion strength. Their
