WARNINGS FOR PEACE.

II is the fashion now with Abolition jour-
nails in the pay Of the Administration, to de-
nounce every one who adventures to exdress
wish for peace az "A traitor. These 'shoddy"
patriots dread the thought of an end OF the
war. for then their occupation will be gone,
and they will not be able to live any longer on
Government plunder. If anxiety for peace be
indeed treason,w we may safely set down a large
majority of the Northern people as traitcrs; be-
cause it is evident that the desire for speedy
peace is prevalent among all classes of the COM
munity, and it. is becoming so strong that
many are beginning to cry aloud for peace at
any price. We mention this, simply as fact,
without wishing to be understood as tavoring any
peace movement that has not for its basis the res
toration of theUnion, upon the compromises and
guarantees of the Constitution. But such afeellng
exists. and those who ''don't see it," are will
fully blind. 1t is not confined to men of any
party, as tho ''shoddy" patriots would have the
people to believe; but is even shared by many
Republicans; such of them for instance, as
are not possessed with the mad idea that the
freedom of the negro must be achieved at the
cost of national ruin. A late letter from
Washington to one of the leading New York
journals, says: "Prominent Republicans have
been heard to announce themselves in favor OF
peace upon any terms. and to say that that half
platform is the only one that can be successful
in the next Presidential canvass" There is a
good deal of truth in the last declaration.
War must be successful to be popular; and
however patriotic people may be, they will
become tired and dissatisfied with a war that
has been waged for two years, at an enormous
waste of blood and treasure, with no satisfacto-
ry results. And, what is worse, that abolition
lied policy of the Administration, which 1t
seems determined to pursue to the fatal end,
leaves but little hope that the future conduct OF
the war will be any more eflicacious. Nothing
but decisive victories will arrest tho growing
warnings for ''peacc at any price."----l. leading

SIMON SYNTAX, ESo.,-- Est
I have just received the "Gazette" of
the 18th inst, containing the ,cine glass problem,
with your note attached, and to show you that
all is right, herewith give you solution and
u diagram. You certainly know the shape Or
form of wine glass. If you do not there are
many editors who do. You must be an excep-
ton to'the general rule. But to the question.
A wine glass inches in diameter and inch
in depth is given TO ascertain the diameter of a
sphere that will displacc the greatest amount
of water from the glass when dropped therein.
1t is evident that the greatest amount of wa
ter will be displaced by that sphere which is the
greatest contained in the cone of the given dimen-
sons. The diameter of whichwe must proceed to
fnd Therefore, let the annexed diagram rep
resent the glass

equal, and the sides D L and / L being also

are also equal. A d ISIS inches. A L is al
so 25 inches. If A c be $50 inches, and A

sS'We claim to know the form of wine
glass and are, therefore, no exceptions to the
general rule. But we know, too, that cH wine
glasses are not coaical If however we were
not assured of this fact, we might be pardon
ed for suspeeting that . wineglass Of such cx-
travagant dimensions as Magnets Is in. deep
and in. in diameter) would also be of an un-
usual form. The truth is mathematical prob
lens should be worded with mathematical ac-
curacy. If Magnet meant conaal winoglass,
he should have said conical wincglass He
cannot presume that his readers will understand
him to mean something that he does not say.
This problem is an old acquaintance of ours;
and we must do Magnet the justice to say that
others before him, have worded it as loosely
and bungngly as he does. Admitting the
shape to be conical, there is still another un-
warrantable assumption in the solution given
by Magnet and by others. They assume that
the sphere must be entirely withip the glass. The
problem says no such thing. How do they
know that larger sphere will not dispace
more water even though it may not sink in the
glass SO far that its top shall be in the plane of
tho top of the glass? To make their solution
complete the following tleorem must be demon
strated: The solidity of the largest sphere that
can be cut from any cone is greater than the
solidity of any segment of larger sphere that
can be cut from the same cone.
We do not say whether this thcorcn ia true
or not, but we do say that Magnet assumes it
to be true, and that according to the words of
the problem such assumption is entirely unwar-
rantabie. Nl.s. 8a8

THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT ON THE
AMERICAN WAR.

The mails by the Canada, at Boston from
Liverpool, reached this city last night. The
full accounts by telegraph, published on Mon
day, gave pretty much everything of impor-
tance. The London Times of the 9th inst,
commenting on the discussion in Parliament on
the American war, says: ~
No more complete proof of the truth of the
opinions we have so long advocated can be
needed than the fact that both ministers and
rivals agree in condemning the war which the
Northern States of the late American Union
are now wagipg against communities of the
same race and endowed with the same rights as
themselves Lord Derby would not recognize
the Southern Confederacy while the conflict is'
actually in progress, sincelhe thinks, with our
best lawyers, that a neutral power has noright,
to assume the nationality of the revolted sec
tion of any commonwealth until the govern
mcnt that has been thrown off has actually
and in fact renquished the struggle for the
restoration of its authority But on the result
of the struggle Lord Derby does not hesitate to
give his opinion, and it IS that tho restoration Of
the Union is impossible Nor cid Lord Rus
sell, in defending his own policy, hesitate to ex-
press himself with equal decision.
Seldom have we heard the true principles Of
the question more clearly laid down than by
the foreign secretary. Mediation, indeed,
would not under present circumstances be de-
sirable, and the mere recognition of the South
ern Confederacy, without any subsequent ac-
tion, would be both breach Of International
usage and might be viewed as All impotent dis
play of jealousy but it is the duty Of neutral
nations, particularly of nation which has suf-
fered so much as our own, to let its deliberate
judgment be known through the mouths Of its
ministers, and Lord Russell yesterday spoke Sc
riously, deliberately, and after being instructed
by the events Of the two years war; = He said
with truth that neither before secession nor
since has there been any desire among English-
men to see the ruin Of the American republic.
But as war has come, rs there can Be only
two examinations of the struggle, either the In
depend ence Of the south, or the conquest of
its territory by the Federals and the holding It

lishmen must be in favor Of its inderend

The Three Parties I'm the Ma
lion,

The question which divides political par
ties are now narrowed down TO the comnre-
hen sion of the most humble intellect among
US.
Two parties assail the GJvernment. The
Southern sectional party seeks to divide
the Union by armed force. The Northern
sectional party seeks to destroy the Union
by destroying the State Governments -
The Democracy etaDd between these two
sectional parties, battling for the restora
ton Of the old Union.
He WhoEides with secession is for disso.
Luton of the Union. He who votes for
abolition is for the humiliation of the
UuIon. He who votes with the Democ-
rscy is for the restoration of the Union.
The Southern sectional party prefers To-
dependence to the Union. The Northern
sectional party prefers the abolition of kla-
very TO the Union. The Democratic party
prefers the Union to the accomplishment
of any other object.
The Southern sectional party is opposed
to the Constitution. The Northern sec
tiOnal party is opposed to the Constitution.
The Democratic party is for the CUDstitu-
ton.
The Southern sectional party is opposed
to eonciliatiOn or compromise. The North
ern sectional party is opposed to concilia-
ton or compromise. The Democratic par
ty is IN favor of any cOnciliation or com.
promIee which will restore the Union With
out dishonor.
The nation is divided into these three
aarties-Southern sectional, Northern Sec
tiVnal, aud national. The Democratic is
the national party. Its triumph is the
triumph Of national principles over section
al factions aad tie restoration of national
harmony, unity and AilsCauke.
