correspondence between ATcnOishOP
Hughes. Of New York. and Bishop Lynch
Of Charleston, on the subject OF the civil

York papers. The letter Of the Archbishop
il a calm and impartial review OF 'be eau
SOS that led to the war, and in conclusion
he gives what he regards as the moss prac-
ticable plan for an acct tmmOdation' lie
says:
That word "peace" is becoming more or less
familiar here in the North. In crisis ike TINS
il is not, in my opinion, expressive ol sounu
principle or safe policy. Its meaning changes
the basis and the issue of this melancholy War'
Tf changed it will be war, not between the
North and the South, geographically consider,
ed but war between the two great Politlcai
parties that divide the country. Instead OF TINS
partisan hostility, wise patriots should rVal
each other in restoring or preserving the Ohl-
on as one nation, its prosperity, ana the PtoteG,
ton and happiness of its entire people, IN All
their legitimate rights. But all TINS Is 10 DC
;udoed of by others, and the opinion OF any IN
aiyidual is of the smallest account. II word
of mine could have the slightest influence,
would suggest that, even while the war is going
on, there might be Convention OF the seeded
States. held within their own borders. one
representative might be appointed from each Oh
those States, by the Governors, to meet and eX-
anime the whole case as it now stands, arrange
and draw up a report Of their grievances, or
what they may consider as such, and report to
their several Governors the result of their delb-
erations, and the conclusions at which they
shall have arrived.
The same process might be adopted in the
States that have not seeded, and similar reports
be made to their respective Governors. ms
would be only preparatory measure TO some
thing more important. Ii a better feeling, or
understanding, could be even partially arrived
at, future Convention of all the States by their
representatives would have something to actup-
on. The difficulties might be Investigated and
provided for; the Constitution might be revised
by general consent, and if the platfoIm-sufi-
cienty ample for 100000 at the period when
the Constitution was formed-is found to be OF
neither breadth or strength to support popu-
lation of 33,000,0 900, wise and patriotic men
might suggest, according to the rules prescribed
in the original document, the Improvements
which the actual condition of the country would
seem to require The Constitution itself, in its
letter and spirit, is no doubt, the same as was
when first framed; but every thing around has
been undergoing change for near eighty years.
For peace of that kind l would be very
sincere, if not an influential, advocate. But to
expect that peace will spring up by the advo-
cacy of individuals in the midst of the din and
clash Of arms, amidst the mutually alienated
feelings of the people, and the widening of the
breach which has now separated them, would be,
in my opinion, hoping against hope. Still, we
must trust that the Almighty will oyerrule and
direct the final issues of this lamentable contest.

FEDERAL AND CONFEDERATE TROoPs NEAR
WAsHINGTON.-Tbe Washington correspon-
dent of the Bulletin, writing Sept. l4tb,
says, in relation to the numberi and con-
dition Of the Federal and Confederate troops
in that quarter:
1t is impossible to give you any very definite
statement of the strength of the Federal forces
in and near Washington, for the authorities
have been quite successful in their efforts to
prevent the communication of the facts to the
public. 1t is safe, howevee, to estimate the
number at the Federal capital and vicinity, in
cluding Baltimore and the banks of the Poto-
mac above Washington for a distance of Is or
20 miles, at l60,0 900 to 10000 men, of whom
some 800 are regulars. Besides these, there
is large force at and near Fortress Monroe,
variously estimated at from 10000 to 10000
men. No authorized statement of numbers or
position is attainable; but tits evident that Gen.
Mcclellan feels confident that he has all the
men he needs; nor does the Government COM
PLAIN OF any difficulty in obtaining needed re-
cruits.
The enemy's force is estimated in military
circles here at not to exceed 10000 men in
Virginia. But we are assured that their disci-
pline is very lax, and that not one half of them
are well supplied with all the equipments which
go to make up the thorough soldier. There
continues to be much dissatisfaction among
them, because they are not led on to take
Washington, hang "Old Abe" and make mar.
BILE .quarries of the public buildings Gen. Nc
Clellan does not hesitate to declare his convic-
ton that the enemy has no purpose of being
the assailants. He is progressing rapidly with
his work Of preparation for the fall and winter
eampaign-but will avail himself Of all the de-
lay at his command until he shall have brought
efficiency.
