PEACE.

me Abolition press are against peace on any
other terms except to conquer it. The Wash
ington Republican of the Dist inst, says
The advocates of peace are becoming appar-
entity more numerous, or if not more numerous.
| they are certainly holder in the annunciation
Of their views. When the war first broke out.
nobody talked of peace, except such a peace as
should be secured by the utter overthrow OF
the rebellion. Anything then, however faint,
like proposition for peace, upon terms that
looked to separation or compromise, would not
be tolerated for single hour. Men were boot.
ed and awed into silence, who had the temerity
to hint even at such policy.
! Now these propositions are gravely stated in
large public meetings, and vociferously ap-
plauded by assembled thousands. Why is this
Simply, the people are weary of the war, and
many of them apparently ready to seek peace
upon any and even disgraceful terms. large
mass OF people in the North seem to be neither
consistent nor persistent in their adherence to
the Constitution as it is" nor to the "Union
as it was"
What shall remedy this evil, and check this
tendency of the pablo mind to this fatal con-
clusion-peace upon any terms with rebels in
arms?
sharp, quick, vigorous prosecution Of the
war will change the whole current of public
feeling, and bring back the nation TO its earn
est, determined purpose, to crush the rebellion
This the indications are, we are now to have
TO the fullest extent, and already we observe
signs of the coming storm which is to sweep
this infamous rebellion to its final doom. We
know that there are croakers who ALREADY pre-
dict thatour army will be defeated in Virginia.
and driven back to the Notifications of Wash
ington; and that the Government will be
obliged to send for Gen. Mcclellan to defend
the capitol. The wishis probably father to the
thought.
peace upon any other terms than that of
crushing out the rebellion, and putting down
slavery, would not last month. There can
be no peace until the disturbing element in our
politics is completely overmastered and ami
hilated. This view must be iterated and re-
iterated till the people comprehend it in lis full
force. Peace by separation is national destruc-
ton, disintegration and complete ruin. We
must therefore have peace by fighting for it,
Our fate, and all the interests Of humanity in
free government are indissolubly connected
with one unmistakeable measure Of enlighten-
ed policy and purpose, viz; the conquering
Of n peace"
We must therefore, set our face against any
man or body Of men who seek peace upon any
other terms.

WE MISS THEE.

We miss thee at home, yes we miss thee,
Since last we all bid thee adeu;
And prayers have eneircled thy pathway
From anxious hearts loving aud true.
When morning awakes us from slumber,
We fain would imprint the fond kiss
We send by a wandering zephyr,
To be waited to him whom we miss.
And when we are seated at table,
And place there thy still vacant chair,
Each eye is bedimmed with tear-drop,
For him we would gladly see there.
Oh whisper, where art thou, do tell us2
We miss thee, yes miss thee at home,
The Savior will guide and protect thee
Whilst far from ihe loved ones you roam
When struggling gainst fees in the battle
Oh still mays st thou ever retain,
A thought of the loved ones behind thee,
To steady thy death-dealng aim.
The shadows Of wing are falling,
Oh, where art thou wandering now
The breeze that floats lightly around me,
Perchance may soon visit thy brow.
May it bear on its bosom this message
To him, to protect us would roam,
That, much as we wish to behold thee,
"Stand firm, +" is the last word from home

DIRECTIONS FOR DETECTING ALTERATIONS IN
TREASURY BmLs-As publicity has been given
to the Geographic statement respecting count
erfeit fiities and hundreds raised from ones and
twos, United States Treasury notes having
made their appearance, &C. some details are
furnished showing the most prominent points
of difference between the lesser aud larger note
so tempered with. The ones and hundreds are
so totally d!ssimiar in thd main features that.
whenever skill or ingenuity may be brought to
bear by this process of raising or changing the
larger figures that indicate the value of the
note, no change is likely in the most skillful
artistic portions. The portrait Of Seoru-dry
Chase, imam oval frame in the extreme left hand
upper corner Of the one dollar note, is its dis
tinct exclusive Characteristic. In the one hun
dred dollar note, occupying a like position on
the upper left corner, the prominent device is
the figure Of a single eagle, with out-spread
wings. These distinctions can be easily re-
membered.
Between the twos and ffties there are points
Of resemblance, especially ms the portrait Of the
first Secretary Of the Treasury, is common to
both denominations, and is the only prominent
I pictorial device upon either. A glance at the
! position Of this portal. upon the two dollar
note, shows that the oval frame Of the picture
rests upon the extreme lower edge Of the note,
the main title, The United Statcs,n being
above the picture whereas, in the fifty the
portrait is placed in the upper part Of the note,
nearly at the top, while the words Of the main
title are separated by it. The word Omitted
is upon the left, and " States upon theriaht
of the portrait. The difference in the bachs Of
the twos and iifties is so marked, that obserua-
ton OF that OF the two, with its two concentriC
rings and its two broad bands Of geometric
engraving, would be readily remembered asa
exclusive feature, as totally unlike that Of the
4 fifty or any other note issued by the Govern
ment.

SToYEwALL JACKSON AGAN.-The statements
Of the whereabouts of this ubiquitous General,
continue to be nightly mixed. One account
represents him as still in the Valley Of the
Shenandoah, with from forty to seventy thou
sand men; another locates him as somewhere
on the east side of the Blue Ridge Mountains,
with his face towards Washington; whilst a
despatch from Federal source at Harper's

der from President Davis, in the following
words you dom leave the Valley at once,

more satisfactory, if the writer had informed

patch from JEFF Davis to Jackson Neverthe-
