Getting Sick of It.

A special dispatch from Washington, to the New York Commercial Advertiser, dated more than week ago, contained this paragraph:
 Officers of the army, with whom have conversed this morning. give 1t as their opinion that unless B collision occurs be- fore tomorrow evening, there is little chance of any taking place at any time.
 The New York Herald, journal which has Il keen nose on cold scent, and Is al- ways most adroit in snufing the first inti- nations of turn in the road it is travers- ing, said, on the 24th Elt., what follows: The idea of q compromise is set on foot | even now, and on the authority of an or gan of the war department, which has its cue probably from that quarter, a proposl- ton from the Southern Coniederacy will settle the whole question in twelve days. It is far more probable that all offer of peace will come from the United States government.
 A Washington correspondent of the New i York World states that sem official pro position have been made in Washington | from the Confederate States Two of these the writer undertakes to give, as follows; First. {" that the United States uncon- ditionally recognize the existence of the | Southern Confederacy, and that the latter be permitted for term of one, two or three years to carry on their Government as an experiment; that the expenses ot the war, thus far incurred be equitably arranG- ed between the two sections, and that each ! r.. H. If f5Ian 1 feeling and intercourse between the two peoples: and that if, at the expiration of the time agreed upon, 1t be found that the experiment cannot succeed, commission be appointed to reconstruct a Union."
 This proposition, says the Worlds tele graphic correspondent, was rejected. 1 And here is the second one: "Ihat the South will be content if the Government of the United States will pledge itself to pass, at the coming session of Congress, an 1 irrepealable constitutional provision recog- nizing and legalizing forever the institution of slavery below tihrty-six thirty, southern boundrv line of the State of Missouri. This done, the Southern Provisional Govern ment pledge itself instantly to abandon the war, and to reestablish peace and the most cordial relationship, so far as its section Is concerned; to redirect the course of trade into it's accustomed channels, and in every way restore the happy days of our forelath- CTS"
 1 This, too, says the writer, was declined; but he adds that the acceptance of it would not be unacceptable to Mr. Secretary Sew ard, and that it '' therefore will meet with the favor of the President"
 We do not believe the Confederate 1 States, in any form of authorization, have made themselves party to any such prop ositions as these. On the face of them they are absurd, as it would be very easy to de- monstrate, were that, which at present 1t is not, our object. We quote these emana- tionS from the northern press simply to show that desire for speedy peace IS al- ready beginning to manifest itself even among the most rabid of those who were recently male for war. The \. \. News, of the 23th ult., states that con all sides symptoms of reaction are visible, and the still small voice of peace is swelling into clamor. The people will gladly terminate this terribly slow fever of war, of which they are weary. They day is not far dis tant when the whole people will come to peaceful understanding with our Southern brethern." A subscriber of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce, in Niagara county, N. Y., the very focus of black republican,
 ism in that State, writes thus to that paper, under very recent date:
 | feel like sustaining you in your noble efforts to prevent a total ruin of this once prosperous and happy country. am one of vast number in the North-and this number is increasing daily-who depreeate the causes of this war, and its evil effects. have little confidence that any measure will be adopted by Congress or the present Administration that will lead to 8 pacific solution of our difficulties.
 The Diocesan Convention of the Protest ant Episcopal Church of New Hampshire, Rt. Rev. Bishop Chase of New Hamp- shire, uncle of the U. s. Secretary of the Treasury, presiding, has just refused, by decided vote, to adopt resolutions in favor of Lincoln's war policy. And conven- tion of the editors of democratic journals | in the State of New York has been called, for the purpose of conferring upon a plan that shall successfully oppose that policy. Meantime, the ianatical crew of editors of such organs as the New York Tribune, Times, w orld, Courier, Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Boston Atlas and Bee, et id omne genus, scout the idea that there can be any peace but one compelled by the sword. "The men who make this peace movement" somewhat pragmatically re- marks the Springfeld( Mass. ) Republican :" may possibly mean well, but the suppo sition is at tho expense of their good sense, and their proposition will find few support CTS, while it will generally excite indigna- tion :"
 Notwithstanding this, and good deal like this we daily meet with in papers of the same class, we cherish the idea that there is large and hourly increasing num- Der of minds in the United States that are beginning to count the cost of the war, and to ponder upon the expediency of coming to the only terms upon which it can possi- bly, be brought to close.
