ruR CHAnoR FOB PEACE'

neoce they require must rum 'oo "
marty and who consider no sacrifice oi Nsuohai
character or interests too great provided IL con-
du.es to that end. We submit to these gentry
some facts which they will do well to heed
VIII they consider them
l. There is now no pretense that JEFF. DAVIS
& Co. viii make peace on any terms that do
not involve DisuniOn. They Claim that the
Confederate States" consisting OF Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, GeOrgn, Alaba-
ma, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Texas leu
nessee, and Arkansas are an independent power
now engaged in war with the United StateS'
from which they have seeded. Peace, then, ac-
cordiug to their programme, means the entire
disruption and dissolution of our country. Hon.
Henry May of Baltimore, member of Congress
thoroughly in sympathy with the rebels except
that be would seem TO prefer their triumph In
the Union to their triumph over 1t, went 10
Richmond a few days before Congress met, win
evident purpose to ascertain the best terms ou
which peace could be made with Jef. DAVIS
The simple fact that no has never since, IN Con-
cress or elsewhere, even limited that peace could
be made on any other basis than that OF Disun'
ion, tells the whole story. Peace, then, IS D'S-
uaioa. If those who try TO hold Peace meetings
and raise Peace flags would just say frankly
We are in favor Of such peace as jeff. DAVIS
will grant-of Peace based On tue triumph OF
| treason, the humiliation Of the loyal States ana
the dissolution of our UniOn" they would DO
candid. Now they are not

ment Of tho loyal people of the revolted States
| to the tender mercies of their inhuman enemies.
Eastern Tennessee has repeatedly voted by very
large naior;tics its devotion to the Union and i's
detestation OF the Rebellion. 1t did go on the
Ist inst, when it chose three Members of the
| L. S. Congress. OF those Members two were
! immediately seized by the minions Of Jeh DAVIS
NOT at home, where il would have been dan
| eerous. then to lay hands on them, but as they
were making their wOy through the Cumberland
! Gap to Washington. One of them, Hon. lhomas
A. r. Nelson, was taken to Richmond prs-
! oucr and the traitors now report that he has
| been coerced into submission TO their authority.
Meantime, Gen. ZOllicofer Of Nashville Is IN
East Tennessee at the head of large Rebel
force. and is tramplng out the loyalty of that
region. He has suppressed Brownlow's Bhg;
he has arrested all who dare take up arms for
the Union, and is dealing with all loyal citizens
of the United States traitors to Tennessee !!
Take the following bulletin from what was once
good Clay Wing Journal, but ia now Rebel
organ, as a sample Of what is going on there;

murder. 10 be known there as loyal to the
Union OF our fathers is TO be exposed to all
manner of skulkiDg and eOwardly assassination.
Yet there is no pretense that Missouri has seeded
from the Union. On the contrary, the Conven-
ton, called to force her out, has voted to stay
in and has deposed the traitor Governor who
had organized private rebellion Of his own, and
left the State in quest OF force to back it. He
has brought back several hordes of rebels, who
are now devastating aud killing from one end Of
the State to the other; but We trust their time
is short.
III. The pretense Of standing on the defensive,
praying for Peace and asking only to be let
alone, is no longer kept up by the Rebels. They
are to-day crushing out East Tennessee, though
they know how intensely il abhors them. They
are nenacibg Northwestern Virginia, which has
repeatedly voted It's detcstation of al their works
and ways, aud which has just organized an inde-
pendent government 10 resist them. They will not
allow it 10 remain in the Union if they can pos
