FALSE PROPHETS.

The statement that the rebels had made certain
peace propositions to the government is broad
ly denied On the contrary the government
is said to have ample assurances that the trait
ors mean TO press the war 10 the utmost, and
overthrow the government if possible. The
similar report, locating the scene OF the nego.
tiation at New York, and making Fernando
Wood and his frienGs party TO it, instead OF
the administration, though intrinsically more
probable, is unquestionably of the same class,
and wholly unreliable. The fact that the Fri
bune gives in detail the propositions said TO
have been made by Hunter and Bayard, the
commissioners at New York, excites the natu
raj suspicion that it has been practiced upon, as
It'll very liable to be in cases where its feelings
are enlisle But ii the facts fully corresponded
to the statements there would be nothing to
occasion alarm. The rebels have not thus far
shown themselves SO terrible and destructive
as to deprive the government OF its self con-
troll Through the trying scenes which it has
had to pass it has borne itself with prudence,
frmncss, and dignity, that entitle it to respect
full and generous confidence. Its state papers,
whether addressed to the people or their rep
resentatives, or in the form OF diplomatic in
slructions, have been fully equal to the public
expectation, and have contributed something
to the Overlooking loyalty Of the faithful
states Yet there are those who should be
among the first TO do willing justice to the adj
ministration, who are prompt in every effort,
by artful statement and absurd report, to
weaken and divide the public confidence, just
when it should be made harmonious and strong.
There could, for example, be no more
unreasonable or unjust imputation than :hat
the cabinet is purposely delaying active opera
tions, dragging along the war until the peo-
pie, weary of armies without action, and taxes
without triumphs, can be brought TO consent
to some compromise like Mr.. Csittenden's."
Yet the Tribune makes the statement by let
ter and by editorial, with just enough
of reserve and incredulity to leave pre-
vailing impression of its truth. On this as
sumption it proceeds, with scarcely skill
enough to hide malevolent motive, to arralgn
members OF the cabinet and warn them to
IOelr nOhSSs III lev hdyo VIC PiSsANSub ~
issue his message, giving TO the country a
statement of its necessities, and the policy it
intends to pursue. There is nothing in the
character of the administration, nothing in the
great events which have TRANSFERRED during the
last fortnight, TO justify the fear or the SLAM
der that he will outline any other policy than
that of maintaining the government in all its
integrity, to the full extent of the means which
the people have generously placed at his COM
mand Till that time comes, at least, the pub
lie should receive with very large discount
all theories of future movements founded
upon the speculations OF correspondent"
whose occupation at Washington has been
somewhat disturbed in obedience to a great
public necessity.

COL. pRATrs REGIMENT.

The thirty first New York regiment, Col.
Calvin Z. Pratt, left for the seat of war Mon
day afternoon. The Park barracks, where
they were stationed, were thronged during
the day with friends of the regiment, some Of
whom inconsiderateiy included every variety
of mischief making fluid among their gifts, the
use of which did not contribute to great de-
gree of discipline and subordnation. There
was also some dispute among portion of the
regiment who had failed to receive full pay
from the date of their enlistment in the state
service, out of which grew the following
among other scenes, between the amiable col
onel and an unreasonable private -
Private-With an oath refused to go until
he should have received his money.
Col Piatt-Can't you take my word for 1t
/ promise you shall be paid.
Private-Yes, but why not have the money
here?
Col. Pratt-The paymaster will go with us,
and promise you that he will pay you.
Private But I'd rather see the money here.
Exit colonel.
In the afternoon the men were drawn into
line. and the regimental colors were presented
by Isaac H. Bailey, Esq, in behalf of many
of the leather merchants of the city. Colonel
Pratt, in response, made grateful reference to
the generous support given by the merchants
of the country, now as in the revolutionary
war and said that, in the contest to which
they were going, they would be fortified and
sustained by the consciousness that they
fought in the cause OF freedom. The column
moved to the cars at six o'clock, most of them
quiet, orderly, peaceable, obedient, good sol.
diers, some OF them exhilirated, noisy mis-.
chievous, and OF uncertain movement; the
whistle sounded, and amid confusion of sobs
and cheers, jolly songs and fearful adieus, Of
laughing and sad faces, the long train, laden
with the pride, hopes, and fears of a thousand
households, whirled swiftly out of sight.
