The Terms of Peace.

From the Rlcnmonu EnquHcT1 Vt"1
1t seems that the recent victories of the con-
federate army has aroused feeling Tor peace
which is beginning TO find public expression in
Northern cities. We are Informed that late
COPY of the New York Times has been received
that saws "If the combined armies OF McClei"
Ian burnside and Pope are defeated, then we
for one are for settlement" We have notseeh
the paper. and do not know whether or not any
qualifications were added. Those who informed
us of the Times expression, added that the
whole tone of the article was that OF dlssap-
nointmant and sorrow Whether or not this
statement is correct, we have no doubt that thOu~
sands of the North, who heretofore silently sub
mitted to the popular cry, will nov speak OUT
and demand peace, since all their armies nave
hean defeated. and no force intervenes between
our victorious army and the Northern citieS'--

ter well enough to know that that the sures
guarantee of an early peace, IS the vigorous
nrosecution of present successes. He mas
shown himself to be general who properly es-
Inmates the value of quick and rapid movements

try. and nothing but a speedy offer OF the most
| favorable terms of peace will prevent an early
invasion of Northern Territory, carrying 10 inc
enemy's home the same kind oil WARFARE thas
has been practiced by them in the oouan ,..
