son River Railroad, at a place called Milton
Ferry, near Poughkeepsie at an early hour
Wednesday morning. The boiler of the loco
motive g Sam Sloan" exploded when nearing
the above point, and just as the up freight
train was passing The fireman and engineer
Of the "Sloan were instantly killed, and
the tender and two cars were thrown into the

esteemed on the road. All the trains on the

The ARGUMENT FOR ADMITTING WEST
VIRcINIA.-Schuyle Colfax made the prlncl-
pal speech in Congress on Friday fer the adj
mission Of West Virginia as state. HIS ar
gument was that Congress and the President
had already recognized the West Virginia
Government as the only legitimate govern
ment in the state, and as that government had
consented to the division of the state the re-
ouirements of the Constitution had been met
Having recounted the various ways in which
the Pierpont administration had been recog-
nizsd as the government of Virginia, he sum-
med up the argument as follows;
aThe only governor whom the loyal people
of the Union recognize as the rightful COVER
nor of Virginia asks for the admission of this
state. The only legislature which the loyal
people of the country recognize as the rightful
legislature of Virginia, have given their assent
to it, The only President whom the loyal
people of the country recognize as President,
has acknowledged them as the righttul author
ty of Virginia The only cabinet whom the
loyal people of the country recognize, has over
and over again recognized the government
which sits at Wheeling. The only Senate rec
ognized as the rlghtful American Senate has
not only assented to it by receiving Senators
from this state, but by stamping its seal ofap-
prevail on this bill, and, so far as it is con-
cerned, admitting this State. And this House,
the only rightful House of Representatives,
gave its recognition last session to Gov. Pier
pont and the legislature as the nghtful author
tiles of Virginia; and all that remains now to
be done is for this House to reaffirm what 1t
has already done before, and make this history
consistent with itself.

Tux NEws,-The telegraph brings us the
news of the opening scene of what we cannot
bu. regard the final act of this grand drama
the war for the preservation Of the Union
We say, final act, because il would seem that
this last campaign now begun at Frederlcks-
burg, must, when ended at Richmond, or (lf
it is so fated) at Washington, virtually deter
mines what is TO be the result of the grand
conflict between loyalty and treason. The
contest between two such mighty armies when
it comes, will be on the grandest scale the
world has ever seen,-with stake at issue
unparalleled in history. 1t will be desperate
and terrible. We believe in Burnside, his
gallant army, and under the God of battles,
put our trust in them. ..... ..
Stirring news from other quarters must also
DO hourly expected, and may be received be-
fore we go to press Indications of an imme-
date and decisive battle come to us from the
West, while all are awaiting anxiously to learn
of the blow to be struck by Banks. The
hour which is to decide the destiny of the ma
ton seems close at hand,

The PEACE PRoPosITIoNS.-No sooner is
the story of DIR, Barney set at rest, than one
j, Wesley Greene, who processes to reside at
Pittsburg, Pa, turns up in Chicago and pub
fishes in the Chicago Times the particulars of
pretended interview with jeff. Davis and a
batch of peace proposals which he pretends to
have received from him. This Greene says he
was sent for at Baltimore; went to Richmond !;
was told by Davis that he (Davis) wanted to
stop the war; and to that end asked Greene
to propose to Mr.. Lincoln an unconditional
amnesty to all political offenders, an amnesty
which would amount to perfect pardon and the
restoration of all their rights and property !;
also the restoration of all fugitive sla yes, and
pledge to use the whole power of the country
to rocapture those who have got out of the
country also that each section shall pay or
repudiate its own debts at pleasure. On such
a basis, Davis thought q restoration Of the
Union might be effected Mr.. Davis seemed
to be annoyed by the Proclamation of Free
dom to the slaves, and casually remarked that
" 1t would play h-ll with us" Mr.. Davis
for Greene for hlm) was confident that if MIR.
Lincoln rejected these propositions, the people
of the North would raise howl about his
ears. Greene then goes into a full exnlana-
lion of his interviews with President Lincoln,
his attendance at Cabinet meetings, and other
gasconade, which naturally leads to a SUPPOSE
ton that he is an immense humbug 1t is
stated from Washington that Greene called on
President Lincoln in October and related to
him the proposals of jeff The President,
however, became satisfied that Greene had not
seen Davis at all, and that the entire story was
a very shallow attempt at deception.
We recapitulate this stuff for the purpose
of saying that it is generally believed that all
these absurd reports of peace proposals are
part of miserable scheme to distract the peo-
pie and embarrass the administration in the
prosecution of the war. But the game, it
would seem, must now be pretty we'll played
out and besides, our guns now laundering at
Fredericksburg will dissipats all this fimsy
matter from the minds of the people, and of
fer the only true terms of peace,-uncondi-
tional submission to the laws AMI constitution
of the United States.

Bog Tn1 REBELLION OF THE NEGRO Ans
TocRAcY.--ln response to a sermon in Nash
vile, Hon. Horace Maynard, of East Tonnes
see, said:.
''This was most inappropriately styled
Southern rebellion, 1t was doing the South
wrong 1t was the rebellion of concelted
and selfish negro aristoeracy against the de-
mocracy of the nation. The twenty-five mil
hons OF loyal citizens, however, were resolved
to quell this rebellion at all hazards. They
had planted the national flag land here it would
remain forever. Call it invasion, conquest,
subjugation, determination, or abolitionism, Il
you will have it so, but the people had solemn
ly sworn that the Republic should live. The
Rebels might as we'll make up their minds to
come back to that just and equitable Govern
ment which had protected us and given us 50
much happiness"
SWORD PREsENTATIoN.-The officers ana
members of the Tooth Pennsylvania Militia,
presented on Saturday, Dec, 9th, two hand
some swords, sashes and belts to Col. VIM;
Brisbane, commandment of Camp Franklin, ana
Capt. Joseph Bush, mastering officer OF the
camp, at York, Pennsylvania. The presents,
says the York Gazette, cost over SOU, anu
were well deserved compliments to those VINO
received them. Capt. Bush, as most OF our
readers know, is from Brandon, Vt, was Sea
toned here for time recruiting, and is wen
known TO our citizens.

DIPLOMATIC CoRREsPoNDENcE.-W yester-
day published portion of Mr.. Stewards letter
to Minister Adams, of Sept. 25th, concerning
the Presidents Emancipation Proclamation.
In addition to this, extracts from the diplo-
matte correspondence, covering several pages
of the New York papers, are published A
large proportion Of it is devoted to explana-
tons of events of the war during the past year
and of no very great interest. On the 18th
of July he wrote that if foreign powers do not
respect our claim to sovereignty over the rebel
States, ''this civil war will, without our fault,
become war of contnents-a war of the
world; and whatever else may revive, the
cotton trade built upon slave labor, in this
country, will be irredeemably wrecked in the
abrupt cessation of human bondage, within
the territories Of the United Statesn On the
Sd of November last he wrote to Mr.. Adams
concerning demand of indemnity from the
British Government, for the destruction Of
American vessels, by the steamer "290."-
His note on the subject contains the following:
"The telegraph announces the destruction
of another half dozen American vessels on the
high seas, by the steamer 900. The Presi-
dent is obliged to regard these distractions az
being made By British subjects in uiolatton 0,

notice, aoarniag, and ,enaonstrances had bee,

is presumed that you have already brought the
subject in that light to the notice of her maj,
esty's government The legal proofs in sup
port Of claim for indemnity a0iU be collected
and transmitted to you as speedily as posi-
bk.n
Mr., Seward discusses, at length in the
letters, the subject of the blockade, the projec,
of intervention, and the other topics to which
the events and speculations of the year have
given rise. His correspondence is marked by
the same characteristic as that of the preceding
year. He is always sanguine, allowing nc
disasters or disappolntments to check for a
moment his cheerful courage, and insisting in
almost every letter that the rebellion is at it;
last gasp.
