Consent on the part Of the Federal
Government to give up to the Confeder-
scy its proportion Of the navy A. it stood
at the time Of Secession, or ITO pay for
the same.
"YieldinG up all preteDsions on the
part of the Federal Government to that
portion of the old Territories which lies
west Of the Confederate States;
"An equitable settlement on the basis
Of our absolute indepe ndence and equal
rights, Of all accounts of the Public Debt
and Public Lands and the advantageous
sccruipg from foreigo treaties.
"These provisions, we apprehend, com.
prise the minimum, of what we must re-
quire before we lay down our arms. That
is to say, The North must yieH all; we
nothing. The VIII lie pretension of that
country to prevent by force the separa'
ton Of the States must be abandoned,
which will be equivalent to an avowal
that our enemies were wrong from the
first and, Of course, as they waged
causeless and wicked war upon US, they
ought, in strict justice, to be required,
according to usage in such case, to REIN
burse to US the whole of our expenses
and loss eo !" .'u .vur.e IF that
"ho'h-r this last proviso is to be in
sisted upon or not, certain we are that
we cannot have any peace at all until we
shall be in position, not on y to demand
and exact, but also to enfore aud collect,
the treasure for our own reimbursement,
out of the wealthy cities of the enemy's
country. 10 other words, unless we can
destroy or scatter their armies and break
up their Government, VIC can have no
peace, and if we can do thai, then we
can, and ought, not only to extort from
them our own full terms. aud ample ac-
acknowledgement of their wrong, but also
a handsome indemnity for the trouble
and expense caused to US by their
crime"
This is no new overture From the
first hour Of the contest to the present,
the earnest Rebels have held but one Lam
guage, and its burden was this This
is a war to the death. We must abso-
lutely triumph or utterly fail. There
can be no accommodation-no compro
mise. We are in for the whole or moth

cede everything, submit to anything.
War Lust 90 on, though it should absorb
all the blood and wealth of the country.
Woe to the conquered !"
Now, then, we demand Of the Demo
cratic journals that they let these facts

light Let them set forth the naked
truth as to the best terms on which the
Rebel j aders are now or ever were ready
to make Peace, and tell their readers
frankl7 that they would or would not
have them accepted. "Crying Peace,
Peace, when there is no Peace" is a
fraud tell the public that you would or
would not make Peace 90 the Only prac

what is your alternative. For our cwr

Popular Feeling in the South.
How large a portion of the Southern
people really desire the success of tn,
Uuior armies it is impossible to ascertain
The people within the rebel lines are moi
in a situation to express their opinions
There is no doubt, however, that great
many of the Southern people, probably
majority, are thoroughly tired of the war
and so we'll convinced that the rcbclio,
cannot succeed that they are ready to ac
cept peace in the Union as a choice o
evils. If we had only the testimony O
rebel deserters aud contrabands as to tn
stste Of feeling in the South, we mis-
doubt even this. But it is sustained b.
