PEACE PROSPECT.

A kind of vague, general i'm
preston seems TO prevail that we
are near the end Of the war. Hea-
ven grant it may be SO, on a
proper basis. But terrible as is
the war, and no one can regard
it with greater horror than the
writer, spurious, palterIng, hol-
low peace on any kind of Sla-
ery-compromising basis, would,
to our way of thinking, be infn-
itely more disastrous. The dread
ful surgery of war having been
forced upon US, let the operation
be made complete. Let the can
Ger be removed while we are a,
bout it. Let the proclamation
be pressed through, and made
more stringent If need be. We
have all the time thought witt
NJ. Conway that "Slavery-shed'
should'have taken precedence, SC
so far as practicable, of blood
shed in this ordeal. Aad after al
the waste and sacrifice, it is to be
the remedy at last. There is lit
tie doubt it has struck greater ter
ror to the hearts of rebel leader.
than al our armies.
And it is just here our fear:
lie. They will almost lay dowr
their arms to save their institu
ton. Let no such overtures be
heard, In their madness they
went to war for Slavery. GiUt
them Freedom, and you cure theiI
madness, redeem their section
from the vilest curse, ard set oul
country right in the eyes of Goo
and the nations.

SOLDIERS PAY.

Our ever-vigilant and patriotic
Governor has petitioned Congress
10 raise the pay OF prlvates in the
army from thirteen to fifteen dol
lars a month. The Governor
backs up his petition in very
cogent and powerful way by a
tabular statement cf the compar-
alive expense OF living now and
at the beginning of the war;
The increase on groceries and
provisions has been about sixty
per cent, while that on clothing
and furnishing goods has been a
bout one hundred and twenty per
cent.
Notwithstanding the objection
that it would increase the expen-
ses of the army and augment the
public debt, he contends the mea-
sure would be one of sound econ
omy. Dissatisfaction is growing
IA the army and assertions are
becoming fearfully frequent
This, he says, proceeds mostly
from the condition of the sol
dler's family at home. He re-
ceives letters from them announ-
cling their destitntion of the nee
essaries of life and that their
neiehbors fail to attend to their
wants as they should. ale be-
comes maddened and desperate,
and finding furlough impossible,
desertion is frequently the re-
suit The Governor concludes
his petition: "Whatever con-
tributes to the speedy termina.
ton of the war is economy on a
large scale. Our hopes for peace
and a restored country are toun-
ded on the success Of our arms;
and it is believed that nothing
would add to the efficiency and
success of our arms so much as
doing Justice to the soldiers by
increasing their pay
1t will be seen that the petition
is already before Congress, and
we hope, as we have very little
doubt, that what is asked Will ve-
~ soon receive the form Of an
enactment.

SAVE Your RAGs.-There is
great excitement Just now among
printers, editors and publishers
about the increase in the price of
paper. There is a good cause
for it. One half Of the news

if the present high prices contin-
ne. The whole difficulty might
be avoided i more care was Ia
ken TO save and collect cotton

HousE.-Mr. Conway object
ed to the proposition In relation
to Western Virginia. Did not
think it had the assent required
bv the Constitution. The scheme
of placing State organizations in
the hands of a few individuals
appointed By the President was
revolutionary and ought to be
exposed to the Reproduction of ev-
cry loyal citizen.
Mr.. Brown of Va. took the
opposite view. Thought the re-
qui sitions Of the Constitution had
been complied with the same as
in the case of kentucky, which
was formed from part of Va.
Mr.. Mallory said he under
stood tina: not more than half the
counties of Virginia were repre-

ture.

pressly invited. If they stayed
away, it was their own fault

stating various considerations
why the State should be admit
ted. The people of that section
had been struggling for 40 years
for separate existence.
Mr.. Crittenden appreciated the
patriotism of the people OF West
ern Virginia, but did not think
new States could be made In this
way. Congress could not admit
a State out of the ancient Terri
tory without the consent OF the
old Commonwealth. BY the
method proposed States might be
created at pleasure without re-
gard to the Constitution.
NJ. Edwards said he would
sustain the loyal people. If there
was no other way, he would
seize the territory in the rebell-
ious districts and repopulate
them.
Mr.. Wicklife-You speak a
bout repopulating Virginia.
What would you do with the
people? Would you extermi-
nate or make slaves of them?
Mr.. Edwards-If necessary |
would exterminate that whole
people in order to preserve the
integrity of the Union.
Mr.. WicklifIe Women and
children?
Mr.. Edwards No. They are
not found in arms. This unin-
territorial pun gave rise to great
laughter. They were entitled
to protection, &c.
Mr.. Maynard said the patri-
otto people of Western Virginia
should be disenthralled and re-
lieved from the dead carcase OF
Eastern Virginia without waiting
for our army to compel the rest
of the State to obedience.
Mr.. Stevens SAID the revolu-
tionary States being belligerents,
were not entitled to the pri Vi,
leges OF the Constitution. With
his consent the UGion could new
err be restored as it was under the
Constitution with slavery
Without concluding the House

Mr.. Hale was not willing &c
see the Senate interfere with 9th
er departments. TIE courts were
still open, il any one had been
ag.rIeved; believed the writ o.
habeas corpus was not dead, vel
acknowledges this was an EN-.
barrasslng question.
Mr.. Bayard thought, the Pres
ident having asserted the right to
suspend the writ, the Senate
ought to inquire into tue matter
Mr.. Wilson thought the Pres
ident regretted the necessity oil
making these arrests as did every
body else. Surely no loyal man
would accuse the President oil
wantonly violating the rights Of
citizens.
The whole question was dis
