CHICAGO, Oct. 24.-The Richmond En-
quirer of the 18th says: Save on our
own terms, we can accept no peace what
ever" The terms" are recognition OF
the Confederacy, the withdrawal of Yam
kee forces from the Confederate States,
including kentucky and Missouri; the
withdrawal from Maryland until she de-
cides bv vote, whether she will adhere to
the Federal Government, to give to the
Confederacy its proportion of the Navy
as it stood at the time of secession, and
/ pay for the same !; yielding up all Terri
tory west of the Confederate States an
equitable settlement on. the basis OF abso-
lutte independence and equal rights, OF
public debts, public lands and advantages
from foreign treaties. The Enquirer adds:

pretentsons of the North to forcibly pre-
vent the separation of the States must be

bursed for all expenses and losses during
the war;" The Enquirer admits that the
