a Bell man but is now disunionist, writes
to friend in this city: You may suppose
that there is a chance to rebuild the Union,
not only is there no possibility but no pro-
liability of such an event; we do not be-
lieve that the North will give us any sub
stantial guarantees, and we could not

Peace Congress, as it is called, that we
will be satisfied with the prohibitioe North
or 3S 80 and squatter sovereignty South
of that line is a gross insult to our under
standing. Be assured we have no idea
of accepting such terms. Our friends,
outside of the seceeding States, should be
apprised of this fact. We have lost all
hope of an amicable adjustment, and are
looking to the bayonet as the final arbi-
traitor of the dispute.
