About Peace.

The rebels now. a-days have good deal to
say about peace, but it is always peace based
on the concession of all they demanded. Their
propositions therefore are simply ludicrous.-
In the rebel Congress, the other day, Henry s.
Foote offered joint resolution to the effect
that whereas the Confederate arms had been
blessed with victory for some months past, the
rebels were justified in despatehlng a commits
sioner or commissioners to the Government at
Washington City, empowered to propose the
terms Of just and honorable peace. We do
not learn what disposition was made CT their
resolution, but We presume it met some of the
''roa-s of laughter" that greeted Mr.. Lincoln's
proclamation in April of last year at Mont
gomery. 1t is not likely that the hotheads
who had just adopted a resolution for an ad-
vance into the territory of the enemy" and
who had not heard of the results which waited
upon the enterprise of Lee and Jackson, would
readily set about the arrangements Of terms of
peace.
We already know the terms the rebels will
propose. They will demand disunion and d.
vision. These they cannot have. The Gov
eminent, the army, all political parties, are
pledged to the maintenance Of the Union un-
impaired. They will expect nothing short of
this. Such q peace must be conquered. It is
folly to hope for a revival of confidence in the
South, or return of esteem, unless these are
brought by force of arms. An officer, who has
seen much service, recently remarked that both
sides would continue to fight until they
fought out in good nature. This result often
occurs in less extensive comhats. He saw al
ready that the two armies had fought out into
position where they had greater respect for
each other. The belittling talk that prevailed
on each side, at the outbreak of the war has
ceased. The boast that one Southerner was
good for five Northerners is heard no more
The feeling that the South had no persever-
ance, no endurance and slim resources that
its valor was all in words, has been swept away,
and juster ideas Of the nature of the contro~
versy and of the men engaged prevail. The
armies have learned to respect each other, and
after these many hard fought and holly con-
tested fields, all of each side must admit that
men capable of such fighting should not be foes
aud that united and divisible they could main
tain the honor Of the old flag and the integrity
OF America against whatever foes should assail
them.
| We have said that peace must be conquered
either BY physically overwhelming in the field
the display and use of larger resources and
more men-or by the overcoming of the pre-

SPEECH OF HON. A. j. HAMILTON.
OF TEXAS.

This able and eloquent refugee from Texas,
made speech at the large hall of the Cooper
Institute, New York, City, on last Friday night.
The utterances of an intelligent and earnest
Union man of the South, who thoroughly IN
derstands the aims of the rebels, will be of in
terest to all, and more especially to those who
are still deuded by the idea that peace is pos
sble without the absolute subjugation of rebel
dom, or an acknowledgment of the Confedera-
cy:
Mr. Hamilton said
FELLow-C1rIzENs of the City of New
York-Could l, by the exercise of some SUPER
natural power, present to those l left behind
the scene upon which l now gaze, and bring
back the answer which springs in every heart
that throbs with loyal feeling, you would be
thanked as alone would be fitting for this over.
towering welcome. l remember we'll. as I en-.
tered your magnificent harbor but few days
past, for the first time in my life, could but be
impressed with the evidence before me of the
magnitude, the progress, and the greatness of
our country, as represented upon one single
spot of country. But there was connected with
it painful throb, and it arose from the reAec.
ton that all was now being imperiled; and
whatever you, fellow citizens, may have SUP.
posed with regard to the progress of this Re.
bellion, or the extent, so far as territory is con-
cerned or the integrity of the people of any
section of the country, satisfied as you may be
in your own minds that it could not 20 beyond
the States of the South, entertain different
opinion. Imean to be understood, if it ia to
succeed where it is already attempted, in. nv
humble judgment, it will not stop there in
short, that if the Government of the United
States as it existed before the Rebellion is not
maintained in all its integrity, we may look for
ward to period, perhaps not 80 remote that
some here present will not see it, when it will
give way here also. Mr.. Hamilton proceeded
to investigate the cause of the Rebellion, Had
the theory now advanced throughout the So,lh,
that Republicanism was failure, been nut forth
at the commencement of the Rebellion It would
have been nipped in the bud. But when he
arms and the powder and lead were all concsn,
trated in the hands of the Government thew
raised the cry: Democracy is faiIure.n You
perceive it is failure, because the United States
Government has failed. We must get rid of be
people of the North because they are democrat
ic. Slavery and Democracy cannot live toEeth.

The officers of this ship have, within the last
three days, been electrified by an invention of
our first Acknowledgment, James W. Whit-
taker, esq, of Trenton, N. j., which totally
eclipses anything yet announced on the all.im-
portant topic Of iron-plated ships.
For obvious reasons, am not at liberty, at
present, to give details of this powerful agent
for the destruction of such iron plated antag-
onists as the Merrimac and Arkansas. .
For its simplicity in design, completeness in
construction, and certainty of execution it can
not be excelled by anything yet invented or
advanced. In fact, it is the event of the nine!
teenth century.

be successful, no matter how many or what
class of iron.clad ships may be brought against
US.
It can be applied to any ship in the service
ut q comparatively nominal expense, and when
so applied, even the Monitor OF New Ironsides
would be, when opposed, as helpless as were
the Cumberland and Congress when attacked
by the Merrimsc.
Our captain, chief engineer, and other offil
GERS have examined it, and all concur in pro.
nouncing it perfect success; and the captain
has detached the inventor from the ship and
ordered him homo with his plans to report in
person to the Navy Department Mr.. White
taker will probably leave on the 10th inst.
Needing no experimental trial, and the time
required for its construction, application and
readiness for action, not exceeding three weeks
labor in any of our navy.yards, we must soon
hear Of its acceptance by the Government and
certain proofs of its utility. The navies of the

Partial Payments" seems 10 be q hard task
for most pupils; and there are many teachers
who dread to &c over "this enchanted

Why is il? 1t is not on account OF any great

it because the operation is necessarily tedi.

ect is presented by our standard authors
For some time past, with good success,
have used a method which am requested
to state for the benefit ofthose whom it may
concern.
Rule.--1. Write down, under one another,
the date OF settlement the date OF each pay
lnent in inverse order, and the date OF the
note, or the time when it began to draw in
tercst.
Q. Beginning with the last, subtract each
date from the one directly above it, and write
the remainder under one another, beneath.
These re,nainders denote the periods OF time
which have elapsed between the payments,
&c. KS
8. Against the remainaers, write the pay
ments ia direct order. .&5
4. Find the amount due, up to the time
when the whole amount paid ex;sedsd the
interest then due
5. Subtract the credit from the debt, and
so proceed till the day ofsettlement Is reach
ed. The last result will be the amount
sought.
