PEACEABLE INTENTIONS OF JEFF DAvIs-The
Atlanta (Ga.) Confederacy, of April l5th in
an article on Our War Policy" says:
In less than thirty days from this time, if
peace is not sooner declared, the seat Of war
will be changed from Charleston and Ptnsa-
cola. to Washington City, and from thence
Norlhwnr1 and Northwest Under letters of
marque and reprsals II thousand prvnteers
will be fitted out which will sweep the seas
OF Northern commerce.. There are over two
millions of men in the North, engaged i'll
commercial, agricultural and manufacturing
pursuits. who are opposed to Lincoln's Ad-
nIinisration. This conservative force will
organize and arm for the purpose of over
wing the Lincoln Governn, mt. Thus a
destructive civil war will be inaugurated i'll
the North The Lincoln Government cannot
long withstand such policy. In three
months from this time Lincoln and his Gov
rrnment will have removed from Washing
ton City to Boston; the fifteen slave States
will be united under the Constitution of the
Confederate states the Middle and North
western States will have formed separate
and distinct Government of their OwD and
Lincoln will he left alone in his glory, with
! the Capital of his Government in the Yankee
city of Boston, and the extent of his territo-
ry will be composed of the six States of Pu-
titan New England. We predict he utter

whole batch of Abolition consprators who
planned this infamous revolution, and plung-
ed a free happy and once united people, in
all the horrors of civil war
