A PEACE ADyooATE.--Coh Manson, Of the
10th Indiana regiment, made speech at
GreencastIe, in that State, recently, from a
notice of which, in the haiqaa Pres, we clip
the following:
Col NJ, near the close Of his speech, spoke
Of the deplorable effects Of the war, and advo-
Gated the policy and duty Of the Government
to seek its termination By making overtures Of
peace to the South. ltinvolyed no derogation
Of national honor, and would be an act Of
magnanimity worthy Of the Government and
its cause. The soldiers were getting heartily
sick Of the war. The only parties who desired
its continuance were the Government con-
tractors and vampires, who were filing their
pockets at the expense Of aa impoverished peo-
pie. lie spoke OF the baneiul effects Of The an
ti-slayery legislation in Congress upon the
Union cause. The speeches OF Sumner, Love
JOY Co, gave strength to the rebellion, and
thus the two extremes played into each others
hands. No durable peace could be obtained
until anti-slavery fanatics were retired from
from the halls of Congress. In conclusion he
cxhoned his bearers TO stand by the President
IN bis efforts to maintain the Union, the Con
sitution, and the enforcement Of the laws.
The audience gave three cheers for the brave
solderat the close Of bis address"
The above is given by an Indiana paper as
part Of a speech made by Col Manson. II
is the first open stand taken by any speaker that
we have seen Of similar character. This,
coming as il does from prominent officer
in thearmy, has great significance, and is
'eyidence Of q wonderful change in the pub
lie mind

TRANSCRIPTION or SLAVES N THE DwTnicr-
The Hon. Reverdy Johnson, Of this State,
has written letter declaring the act Of Con-
gress emaneipatng tho slaves Of the District
Of Columbia to be unconstitutional. A cor
respondent Of the New York Express says
g The letter Of the Hon. Reyerdy johnson
in relation 20 the emancipation bill is strongly
indicative that the matter will be brought to
the Supreme Court, and considering the abil-
tiles Of Mr.. Johnson, and the experience lie
has had in arguing matters before that tribu-
nal, it is proper TO Imagine that he viii con-
duct numerous cases arising out Of this bill,
which may be brought 10 the notice Of The
Supreme Court. The declaration in his let
ter that the act was Unconstitutional will
have great weight, coming from one whose
legal attainments arc 80 well known as those
Of Rcverdy Johnson

Since the administration has openly showed
IFS abolition face, and spurned the prayers Of
its obsequious friends in this State, the cor
rupt and unprineiped leaders have strained
every nerve to keep up their old party feeling,
by charging on the State Rights men all the
evils that now affiet us. Do they intend to
say that the administration protected iherun-
away slaves OF Union men, in order to punish
the State Rights party2 Or, are those who
foretold, and resisted with all their might.
to be charged with bringing on the evil,
BY those who really caused it2 But the truth
is, the Lincoln party was au abolition party
from the first, and intended to bring on negro
war; with the ruin and determination Of the
whites of the South Wendell Phillips said
"if you reconstruct the Government, you
ruin the Republican party for all time" And
yet Wendell Phillips has been received with
honor on the floor of the Republican Senate.
When the Peace Convention was sitting in
Washington and every good man was pray
ing for peaceful end Of our troubles; when
the leaders Of the secession party-Toombs,
Davis, Yancy, &c--said that they would be
satisfied with Crittenden's proposition, we
find that leading Black Republican senator
from Michigan, O. Chandler, for fear some
thing might be done for peace, wrote the fol-
lowing letter to the Governor Of Michigan.
WASHINGTON Fob II 1891
=" Ny Dear Governor .--GoYernor Bingham
and myself telegraphed you on Saturday, at
the request OF Massachusetts, and New York,
TO send delegates TO the Peace or Compromise
Congress. They admit that we were right,
and they wrong that no Republican State
should have sent delegates but they are here,
and can't get away. Ohio, Indiana, and
Rhode Island are casing in, and there is some
danger Of Illinois, and now they beg us for
God s sake, to come to their rescue, and care
the RepubHcG7i party from rupture. | hope
you will send stif 5acked men or none. The
whole thing was gotten up against my judg-
ment and advice, and will end in thin smoke
Still, hope, as matter Of courtesy to some
of our erring brethren, that you will send
true delegates. Truly, your friend,

1t is plain that negro war was determined
on by the leaders, though the patriotic feel

them believe itwas for he support of the Con-

away to Washington, which is the Abolition

this years crop We are told that many Of
them are in suffering condition. Many have,
no doubt, been taken 10 the forts, or the

that those who have gone North, under false

or criminals, and sent to the workbouse or

and one who, by the way, is not less brilliant
as soldier and statesman than Clergyman,
express the opinion that war of fourteen OF
fifteen years duration would be far more de-

it will take long time TO wean us from our

! THE CHESAPEAKE AND Ono CANAL.-A ge-
neral order has been issued from the Adju-
tant General Office, at Washington, directing
that all the. Lighthouses, boats, scows and
other property belonging to the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company, on the line Of the
canal, now used by the United States officers
or troops be forthwith given up and restored
to the president of the company. All officers
of the army are ordered to respect Col Alfred
Spatcs, Esq, as president of the company,
and are prohibited from interfering in any
manner with him in the management Of the
canal, but are directed to give him such aid
and assistance as is consistent with the good
Of the service, in keeping it in repair, and re-
moving all restrictions which have been i'm
posed upon the boats navigating the canal
The president of the canal company is au-
thorized to give all passes that may DO re-
quired to be used on the canal, subject to the
approval Of the commander of the district.
1t is stated that the work of building new
boats for tho Chesapeake and Ohio canal, to
accommodate the coal trade, is being pushed
forward with great vigor at Cumberland Nd
ED- As party aspect has been attempted
to be given to a street brawl, which occurred
in this place, on the 10th ultimo, between
James Mullican and Greenbury Beckwith, we
have been at some pains to learn the truth Of
the affair, and from all we have been able to
gather, the facts are these; Mulican and
Beckwith, who had both been taking wee
drop" were listening to the singing Of a ne
gro in Jail, who, in the absence of the Tailor,
had quite crowd around him. Beckwith
charged Mallican with striking the negro,
and took the prisoners part Mulican denied
striking the negro, but said that any one who
would take up for negro culprit, was no
better than one. Words Of the same kind
grew hotter, till both parties stripped for a
/ fight. Before any blow was struck, officer
Miller came up, and, commanding the peace
told the parties they were under arrest Null
lcan instantly submitted, and offered to 60
wherever the officer wished whilst Beckwith
refused in the most violent manner Mr.. Mil
Ter called on the by-standers to assist him.
when Mr.. N. 0h'utt went to Beckwith, and
tried to pursuade him to submit, but Beck
with struck at him. Several others then went
to the assistance of the officer and after Sc
we're struggle, succeeded in tying Beckwth's
hands, when he agreed to go to the JUSTICE
Office, where each of them was fined for vio-
lation of the law, and held to bail for their
appearance at November Court. 1t is much
to be regretted that our laws cannot be en-
forced, without eyif-disposed persons at
tempting to give II party coloring.
