piece Of intelligence from the Stark county

Following is tho article to which Capt.
Firestone refers:
TO REVIVE TIE PEACE PARTY.
Our people will recolIect that two or
three or more months ago we heard a crea,
deal, and that too continually. Of worde,f full
things the peace men Of the North we're 20
Ing to do. Many in our midst built strouy
hopes of peace Oh the action o: tic maIcon
tents in LncoIn's realm. Many even were
proposing terms Of peace, inviting the
Northwest 10 \ free use Of "our'' Mississip
pi, aud actually going so far as 20 ask the
Northwestern States to abandon Now Eng
land and the Middle States, and come with
US under our pro slavery constitution. But
since about the 4th Of July, since the capt.
u'ation Of VicksburS and tho retreat from
Pennsylvania, We have heard scarcely a
whisper Of peace from beyond the Potomac
The people Of the United States have TO-
come elsted a. their successes, and have
gOno crazy again on the sensation u crush
ing the rebellion and suhjuga,ing the insur.
CANT States:
We confess that we have always bull:
strong hope. on the divisions and lsss,is
faction Of the Nor bern people, tho gradual
hut sure growth OF an "utsp"ken peace par
~, aud the fatal outbreak ofthe resurrection
sry elements which exist among the enemy
but which, by one means or another, has 50
Tar been smothsred or checked. but we
have always held that tho only way to
build up peace among the Yankees, and
set at liberty the furious opposition Of the
anti Republicans, was by successfu, war on
Lincoln's armies in the field. We have
great expectations from the peace men of
the North and sxpulsve wrath Of sas. oppo
s't'cn masses but We were never more fully
convincett than now, Of the essential impor
lance Of thick, fast, and heavy blows from
tho Confederate armies, in order 10 give Vi
tally, system and organization to the peace
men, and 10 un'oose the fierce impulses Of
tho enthra'lsf a"d tsrrorizsd people. Mr..
Va'landigham himself, ~ w have heard
most ExPHATlcALLT DECLARED THAT THE
suc''EsS OF SOUTHERN ARMS ALONE co,,Ln
la'vk srEsSoTHAND Consistency TO Tae
PEACE MOVEMENT; and We verify believe
that II Vieksourg had been held and Lee had
thoroughly deiesssd. Msade on his own
ground, tho Woods. the Coxes and Vallsn-
Idlghsms and their followers would have
been rampant for peace andrscperstion. and
that not one dr,fled man would ever hav.
worn the United States upiform-,he live
Try Of h'rs'ing OR degraded soldisr-is the
|e'ty OF New York. But VicksburR fell. and
failed to overwhslm Meade, and 20 the
peace men are IS mute IS frightened mice
aud the drafted rowdies ars forced easily in
Ito the ranks.
This popular feeling msst be checked and
changed, andthers IS no msana Of doing !,
but BY determined and successful oenfi;et
1t one or more points. The heroic hold;n1
but Of Charleston helps Us to some extent
bat something more must b done. The
s'sct'ea tor Governor Of Ohio takes pl,cs
