The Washington correspondent of the
Journal Of Commerce, under date of June
I'd, tells us:
Among the handsomest private residences in
Georgetown, is one which has recently been
cOnfiscated by the government. The proprie-
tor gave it into the keeping OF friend and
Joined his fortunes to the rebellion: so that he
has received but part of his deserts. But my
object in abiding to this elegant house, is to
exhibit the taste and sound judgment Of the Ad-
ministration, as connected with the use they
have made of it they have turned it into II
hospital for negro children and negro mothers,
so that there is not a white man in the district,
not sick or wounded soldier who may be dy-
ing for his country, who can boast of such ele-
cant Accommodations as have been assigned to
the contrabands. Tell it not in Gath, if you
would shield thu War Department from the
charge of the most consulnmate fanaticism.

What is Meant by Compromise.

Our neichbor of the Iateliigencer has
again turned theolGgian, and in the issue
of that sheet of Oct oath, makes use Of
the word compromise, as a text for q
display of logic rarely met with He
claims that the Almighty was the first
great compromiser, and attempts to estab-
lish his position upon the fact of the
scheme of redemption. The assumption
that God compromised with sin, by send
ing his only Son. to redeem fallen man is
too absurd for argument A compromise,
according to Webster, Worcester, and
other photographers, implies a mutual
a mode of settlement. Can the learned
divine of the Intelligencer show in what
way man had any part in proposing or
bringing about the plan Of redemption, or
in any way escape just retribution for
sin except to comply with the terms of his
Maker,-terms which he took no part in
proposing? When Adam first violated
Gods holy law, he received the punish
ment without word of compromise on
his part Lucifer was cast out of Heaven
for disubedience, and we have no doubt
had he been permitted to propose terms
of compromise, the fact would have been
recorded If the offer of salvation upon
terms proposed by the Almighty was a
compromise, then the preachers charge
against the present administration of be
ing opposed TO compromise falls to the
ground, for the first proclamation of Mr.
Lincoln proposed terms to the south upon
which they were desired to return to the
Union, and if the writer premises are
correct, those terms were an offer of com
promise The ADMINISTRATION is not only
willing, but has ever desired that the reb-
els lay down their arms and return to
their Loyalty TO he government, and the
conditions of the terms have not been
greater than the conditions of salvation
repentance, obedience TO law, and loyalty

sS A writer in the Inteliigencer sign
ing himself Peace" is not pleased with
our remarks relating TO the responsibility
for the draft He does not relish the idea
that his party, that claims to be the only
loyal, constitutional, law abiding, Union
loving portion of the community. should
be held responsible for any Of the evils
resulting from the war it has brought upon
the country We are not surprised at
this "The thief ne'er felt the halter
draw, With good opinion of the law" Is
an adsce rs applicable in this case as any
other Those men who cry peace, peace,
when there is no peace, were never noted
for desire to see their own faults, and
much less for willingness to acknowl
edge them when pointed out
1t is not at all surprising Mr.. Peace
and his political friends have desire to
exonerate themselves from the response
bility of inaugurating this unholv war and
for its continuance, for most of them be
heve in a hereafter, and they have become
convinced that the soldiers IN the field,
whatever may have been their former po-
litical associations, are now, almost with
out an exception, as bitterly opposed TO
the copperhead party OF the north as they
are TO the leaders of the southern rebellion
The duties of the tented field" have not
closed their eyes to the action of political
matters at home, and the false cry Of 'ab-
clifton war convinces them of the hollow
heartedness of political demago-ues who
care less for country than for party The
