NO doubt of it, sir, no doubt" was the
hasty reply of the surgeon as he passed
on.
The hour of midnight had struck from the
great clock in the hall. Slowly and solemn
ly it kneled the departing moments, and its
echo rolled through the halls, vibrating on
many an ear that would never hear the
sound of the striking hours again. The
chaplain still sat up in his own room writing
letters for three or four of his wounded sold
iers. and strange stiffness fell around him
as he closed the last sheet and sat back with
folded hands TO think lie could not tell

he had spoken last, haunted him. He arose
to move to the window where the breeze was

Ovsrtures for Peace.

The rumor comes IN SO many shapes
and its truth has been affirmed with such
Positiveness, both by Fernando Wood and
the Chicago Times. that there can be no
doubt left of the fact, that the rebel au-
thorities at Richmond have sent to Wash
ington overtures for peace. What the
precise terms are which they propose,
however, has not trarspred, but the T'1ne'
says they are such as the south could
honorably make and the north honorably
accept" They are said to involve the
restoration 70 of the Union on the basis
of the Crittenden proposition, the assump>
ton of the Southern war debt, and inter
ference in the war between France and
Mexico. The administration evidently
don't like them, for, although they must
have had them two weeks ago neither
the President or War Department, appear
to take the least notice of them

The Pre.sid.at,s Message.


We publish President Lincolns An.
nual Message as a matter of course. The
document has not given the country a
stunning surprise,-not even created SEN
sation for any thing important or uaexpec-
ted it contains. The democratic press
generally pronounce it week and wishy-
washy, while the republican pspsrs damn
it with faint praise. In short, there is very
little in it Our foreign affairs are repre-
sented as in a satisfactory condition; colo
nizatioa il admitted thus far to have prov
cd failure for want of a tropical country
willing to receive the negroes; the public
lands have ceased to be source Of reve-
nue.; the post Office revenue is gratifyingly
increased and the national debt 10 swelled
to some $500, 100000 This il substantially
the Preiidents report on the condition OF
the country. The balance of the Message
is devoted to q recommendation that the
present circulation of the banks be sup
pressed, and that . new circulation be
furnished them by the government, based
on government stocks-substantially the
Illinois stumptail system; and to a long
and labored defence of the Presidents pet
scheme of compensated emancipation"
1t is possible, on a small scale, in a few
of the border states, this scheme might be
made to work after its constitutionality
should be made clear by the adoption Of
the Presidents proposed amendments;
but as comprehensive scheme to cover
the whole south and the whole Of her four
millions of slaves, the plan is simply absurd
will not bear discussion. The people will
never consent to be taxed to pay for 4, OO0,-
600 of slaves, when, after all the money is
paid and the slaves made free, neither
they or the south will be bsttered by the
operation.
The omissions of the message are more
significant and important than its con-
tents. Particularly significant is its entire
failure to even all ude, except incidentally,
to the emancipation proclamation. This
gives the radicals great chagrin, and causes
them to treat the message, if not with
loud mouthcd condemnation, with what
is about equal, omInous silence nearly
to contempt
