editorial on the subject, says it is the
most important news since the split, not
because there is any likelihood Of its &C
ceptance, but simply because it is . prop.
osition, and is the first bid made towards
putting an end to the war. The Presi-
dents avowcd object is to recover to
the Union the border States.

fers until something acceptable has been
put forth. The only reply Of the South
to President Lincoln has been a rcso1u-
ton Of the Confederate House of Repre-
sentatives to burn all the cotton and to-
bacco that may be in danger Of falling in !.

dent gives great scope for speculation, and
perhaps some glimpse of hope, but it is
for what it may herald and not for what
it is.
