GEN. CASs AND THE PROCLAMATIoN.
"A private letter from Col. +. a. East
man, of this city, dated Detroit, Oct. Sd,
10 one of the editors of this paper, con-
.ains gratifying information. He called
upon the Hon Lewis Cass, to pay that
venerable statesman his respects, and
what transpired We give in MIR. Eastman's
own language.
Il told Gen. Cass that I had always
admired aud supported him as Demo
crat, but that perhaps he would not regard
me as a Democrat now, as | had pledged
my support to the present officers of the
Government, and to all the war meas
ures." He replied, "You are right
You young men must sustain it" lnglt-
ed thus to continue the conversation, |
said +: But | approve of the emancipa-
tion proclamation, all" The old patriot
responded promptly, $50 do |" After
a 1ew minutes spent in conversation upon
general topics, he came back to the proc
lamation again. He observed that wbeth-
er or not the President had the constitu-
tional right to declare the slaves free, the.
Presidents friends did not strengthen the
measure by claiming it to be constitution
al. II do not deny" he said, "that there
is in the Constitution to Justify the act !;
but the circumstances of the country
clearly Justify it, He did not fear its eff
feet in the South, he only hoped it would
prove eHectuai He could not understand
how any old Democrat could have any
sympathy with the South, and he hoped
that if there are any persons in the North
who would ever consent to q separation,
they would not be permitted to have any
position or inhue see. - Chicago Tribune.

Much care las been taken to conceal
the fact Of the great dissatisfaction Of the
State of Georgia with the rebel Govern
ment; but the evidence now and then
pops out in spite of their teeth. Not
long since we recorded the discharge of
a couScript BY Georgia Judge, who bold
~ declared the CONSUMPTION Act Illegal
and void We have not heard that the
Judge was moleSted. But here is stron-
ger evidence. Ii an article about differ
ences between the State Of Virginia aud
the Confederate Government, the Rich
mond Eramiuer of the 9th says: r: "Such
a correspondence, for instance, between
the State of Georgia, which quietly pro-
hibits the enforcement of the Conscript
Law in its limits. and the Confederate
Government, which pocketed the prohi-
bition, will never see the light, for it will
never be uLdertaken" This is a posi-
tive statement that Georgia rcpudtates
the Confederate authority, and that the
Central Government IS too weak to en-.
force its laws, even the law Of all others
most Indispensable to its existence.

The T'rlbune's Basis OF Peace

There is great deal Of carpine against
HORACE GREELEY Of the New York Tri:-
6une. Certain classes have become so
preiudiced against that widely circulated
and influential paper, that they suppose
it always wrong. The truth is, they do
not read 1t. To show the position of
GREELEY on the basis Of Peace, about
which he has been shamefuIly misrepre-
sentcd, we quote bis comments upon late
proposal of Member of the Rebel Con-
gress to send an embassy to Washington
to make treaty of Peace. We think
the comments will satisfy every lover of
the good old Constitution of the United
States:
''There must, then. be an accommoda-
ton and that fact established, it seems TO
Us very easy to settle the terms. The
obvious basis of an adjustment is the CON-
Stttution of the Gnitsd States Wuhout
note or comment. That is, at the very
lowest estimate, treaty; but call it d
| compact, alliance, or what you will. it is
binding and valid contract Our fathers
made it froely and heartily, and it cannot
degrade their sons to re-athrm and abide
by it. If we repudiate that, what assur-
ance can be given or trusted that any new
bargain may bs lived up to?
"WheneVer the rebels really desire
peaco-which We think they very soon
will if they do not already-they have but
to notify the Government that :hey are
ready TO return to loyalty, and TO that end
have abrogated all ordinances, acts. and
oaths IF allegiance Inconsistent Herewith
President Lincoln would thereupon feel
warranted, we doubt not, IN Issuing Pro,
clamatioa of Amnesty, inviting the States
recently III rebellion to elect Members Of
Congress as if no rebellion had existed
The Rebels would need further assurance
of immunity: their friends Of the Valan-
digham persuasion would guarantee them
a practical aScendancy in the House, If
not in the Senate also, and thus shield
them from all serious harm. Aud, if
they would choose to have convention
to revise the Federal Constitution, we
have no doubt that this would be easy of
attainment, though we should prefer to
have no stipuations on the subject. They
might have had one without objection in
1861 +; they can have one without stipu-
lation in 1868 But the true and suffi-
cient basis of immediate peace is The Con-
stitution as it is. Men can devise no
better

The Baltimore American says the cor
rect pronunciation OF the name given to
the last great battle in Maryland is An
tce-tam, the accent being on the secoud
syllable. The names of places where our
battles with the Rebels have occurred
will ever be memorable for their inherent
poetry.

to fight the Sioux, providing the Govern
ment of Minnesota will furnish them with

GREAT CONFLAGRATION.-A cores.
pondept of the Elmira Gazette of the 8th
inst, says, one of the most destructive
coniagrationS that has ever occurred in
the oil regions took place to-day. BY
some unknown means a vat filled with
crude petroleum ignited this afternoon,
and from the ground being saturated with
oil aud the close proximity of wells, the
fire spread with the rapidity of lightning.
burning over twenty-five acres of oil,
totally destroying buildings, engines, and
from low estimate, thirty wells and fifty
thousand barrels of oil one large refinery
was included.
1t occurred on portions of Tarr & Blood 5
farms. The operatorS-many of them
barely escaped a fiery death-fortunately
none were seriously burned. The sight
was grand. The whole heavens appeared
illuminated, presenting a scene that Ian
guage Is inadequate to describe Several
spouting wells are burning: sending high
in air streams of FIRE: the grandeur of
which must be seen to be appreciated .
