tions OF q peace party
THEIR TROOPS.
These are Mtch demoralized, as would
be expected do not want to fight; have
to be driven by the bayonet; but desert
when they can !: but they are we'll fed and
clothed. The Democratic soldiers denounce
Lincoln and the Abolitionists, and hate the
fanatics the Republican soldiers sustain
Lincoln and the negroes, and bate the Dem
ocrats and the rebels.
Withal, they are mixed, mongrel, dir
ty, damnable crew of human wickedness
and meanness, which the cauldfon of fanat-
icism and revolution has bclched forth upon
the country
ABOUT tEACE.
There is peace party at the North-a
strong and active party, nearly cqual-may
be quite equal. or even numerically supe-
rior to the war party-and the bitterness
between these parties is very intense, and
the feud irreconcilable. But our informant
does not believe that such feud will ever
provoke any weapons more dangerous than
words. He believes the conscript law will
be enforced, and that the malcontents will
yield, like those in Noble county, Ohio, did
yield, by fight, before the appearance of an
armed and organized soldiery.
He does not believe the Democrats will
make fight, and regards the Chicago
"Times" and the organ Of ExGov. Me-
dairy. as already preparing to back squarely
down ''in obedience to the laws, and sub
ject to the Constitution !" This is only an
opinion, but our fuformant entsrtains is
with great confidence.
