Arohbishop Hurhes on Peace.

Archbishop Hughes, of New York, in an
address delivered on Saturday last, said:
:" We might pray to God by some means
that it is impossible for man to penetrate, to
bring our unhappy affairs to some conclusion
to end the effusiou Of human blood. That
is a legitimate prayer. Though no man can
say that even in that case there would not be
a prayer Oh both sides of the line-one pray
ing against the other. We can only hope that
out of His mercy for both sides of the line,
for the whole country, He, in His all.wise and
all-powerfuI providence, will bring about the
peace and prosperity of this people. These
thoughts have just entered my mird on the
present occasion, and hope that in all our
endeavours we will not forget our devotions at
the altar-praying | will not say for peace,
which appears at this moment ridiculous, since
there is only one side that can give peace and
the other won't have it. We may pray the
Almighty to bring matters to a conclusion
One side can make war but it requires two to
make peace, and it appears that there Is only
one side ROW that wants it. We had peace
oEce. They did not preserve peace. Now, it
is one party that is for peace. The other scorns
it. In that state of the case what prospect is
there for peace ?'
The Archbishop meant that the terms upon
which the rebels would make peace are totally
inadmissable. They will not talk ABOUT peace
and Union. Until they are willing to make
peace on the basis of the restoration of the
Union, there is but one side in favor of peace.
Therefore, what is the use of talking about it
in the North?

The piratical vessels furnished the rebels by
the English ship builders and capitalists to
prey upon our commerce, still continue their
depredations and within few days have cap
tured and burnt a large number of fishing yes
sells off the Massachusetts, coast. To aggra-
vate the matter, it is also announced that
a powerful steamer, heavily armed, and OF
course manned with English sailors, has just
been delivered over at one of the West India
ports to the pirate Semmes, late commander
of the Alabama, and is to be added to their
feet of cruizers. These acts are exciting a
great deal of indignation against the English
especially in our commercial cities, and if per
sisted in much longer may lead to very serious
consequences. Meantime that most bitter
and malignant of our reviers, the London
Times, thus openly and tauntingly proclaims
the sympathy Of the great mass of the Eng lisf
people for the rebels:
The most adroit efforts that may be employ
ed by Federal agents in this country to gal
vanise by means of Union and Emancipation
Societies. . and by meetings in London ant
elsewhere, Mr.. Lincoln and his party into pop
ularity will signaly fail, as nine-tenths of tht
people of these realms are unmistakabIy in ia
vor Of the independence Of the Southern Con-
faderacy, aud further think that the armies
and people Of that region have already virtu
ally achieved that independence.

Mr. BRoUGH,s SPEEoH.-We call attention
to the speech recently delivered at Marietta
by Hon. JONI BRoUGH, our candidate for
Governor. 1t is a document that should be
universally read, and its patriotic sentiments
will not fail to commend themselves to all IN
preiudiced minds. It viii prove especially in
teresting TO those of his old political asso-
ciates who preferring country to party, do not
wish to be led astray by such false leaders as
now control the actions of the party and are
fast arraying it in hostility to the government
and the struggle for existence in which it is
engaged.

The Holmes County Rebellion was
a formidable affair, so far as organi-
zation and preparations to resist the
officers of the Government vent
The insurgents numbered nearly a
thousand men, large part of whom
were armed, and they had rescued
several parties arrested andresolved
to prevent other arrests. When the
military appeared some skirmishing
occurred, and couple of the riot
ers were slightly wounded A par
ley then ensued, the result of which
was an agreement to deliver up for
trial those whose arrest was sought.
and disperse. This arrangement
was carried out, when the military
left. The promptness and decision
with which the authorities acted has
had salutary effect by showing the
turbuIentIy disposed what may be
expected if they carry their rebel
ious proceedings too far.

A committee of nineteen, appoin-
ted by the late Democratic State
Convention, left Columbus Tuesday
morning for Washington, to "de-
mand" Of the President the release
of Vallandigham and his immediate
return to his home in Dayton. At
the same time it is announced by re-
bel papers that he has escaped to
West India port, whence he will
proceed to Canada and from thence
return to Ohio, running the risks
of the penalty he will incur there
by. If this is so, the demand on
Mr.. Lincoln is slightly out of place,
and the journey to Washington la

hardly venture into Ohio while the

voked, especially while Gen. Burn

STATE OF OHIO, EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
COLUMBUS, June 22d, 1868.
To the People Of Ohio:
In answer to numerous letters of inquiry.
touching the raising of troops for six months
service, under the Presidents recent call, l
have to state:
Ist That. for want of time. recruiting
commissions are not issued. Volunteers are
requested to GO forward iD unorganized squads
70 the several camps of rendezvous named in
my proclamation, and there organize, naming
to me, by letter or election, the officers they
wish appointed.
ID. The number who may thus volunteer
will be credited to Ohio upon the quota order
ed TO be drafted; but the men who volunteer
/ viii still be subject to draft should we fail to
ELL our quota by voluntary enrolment, and if
drafted, the time they may serve as volunteers
will be credited them.
/ Sd. The regimental officers will be selec-
/ ted as far as possible, from the company Off
| GERS.
! 4th. Should the entire number asked for by
the President, respond to the call they viii be
| organized as follows:
twenty-five (25) Regiments of Infantry.
Three 81 Regiments of Cavalary, and
Three )3) Batteries of Artillery,
and in this proportion, according to the num-
Der who may volunteer.
5th. These troops viii be subject to the or
der of the Secretary of War, for general ser
vice but, my opinion is, they viii be requir'
ed merely if not entirely, for border defonce
and when not thus required, will, after organ
ization, and a few weeks drill, be furloughed

On our first page will be found the Demo-
cratic State platform in full. It is a document
remarkable for elaborate evasions of the real
questions OF the people, and attempts to raise
false issues. The butternut mob insisted up
on the nomination of Vallandigham but the
men of the party who have some regard for
consequences, shrank from the adoption of a
Vallandigham platform. It was found impos-
sble for the Committee on resolutions to u
gree upon any pointed expression as to the
war; therefore the product oil their seven
hours severe Iabour is as scattering as MIR.
Pugh's speech though measured in phraseolo-
gy. Assuming to deal largely with the oues-
tions Of the day, they dodge them, and at
tempt to hide them away from the people in
a mass of words, avoiding the practical prop
osition that presses upon every citizen wheth
er would submit to a disunion peace, or
prosecute The war The platform only becomes
ineligible when interpreted in the light orthe
nomination of VaIlandigham and the mastery
of the Democratic party by the mob of but
ternuts.- Gin. Com.

THE NEWS.

There has as yet been no general
engagement between Hooker and !
Lee, though heavy cavalry skirmish- |
ing continues, and these encounters
are reported as generally resulting
favorabIy to our side. 1t is difficult
to locate the opposing armies with
any certainly, but from such infor-
nation as is attainable it is thought
the main body of the rebel army is
in the upper part of the Shenando-
ah valley, with Ewell's division oc-
cupying portions Of Maryland and
few unimportant points on the
southern borders of Pennsylvania;
while Hooker occupies a position to
check-mate him should he attempt a
general advance movement.
Innumerable dispatches have du-
ring the week passed over the lines
in reference to the state Of affairs
in the sections of Pennsylvania and
Maryland actually invaded and
threatened with rebel incursions.-
They are exceedingly conflicting,
but up to within day or two seem
ed to establish nothing beyond a
cavalry raid, and that on a rather
limited scale. More recent advices,
however, wear a rather serious as
pect, and if the latest accounts are
true formidable infantry force was

day and had advanced north to with

extensive arrangements had been
made to repel the invaders it is not
likely they will be permitted to pen
citrate much further toward the in

tering spirited opposition. Intense
excitement prevails throughout the
southern counties of the State, from
York to Pittsburgh.

Eleven Rebellions.

Since the organization of the Federal Gov
ernment, eleven attempts have been Elade to
resist its authority. The first was in I782-a
conspiracy of some of the officers of the Fed
eral army to consolidate the thirteen States
into one, and confer the supreme power Oh
Washington. The second in 1887, Shay's in
surrection in Massachusetts The third in II
81. callel the Whisky Insurrection of Penn
sylvania The fourth in 1914, by the Hart
ford Convention The fifth in 1920, on the
question of fadmitting Missouri into the Union.
The sixth was collision between the Legis-
Iature of Georgia and the Federal Govern
ment, in regard to the lands given to the Greek
Indians The seventh was in 1880, with the
Cherokees in Georgia. The eigth was the
memorable nulIifyng ordinance South Car
olina, 1882. The Dinth was in 1912, in Rhode
Island, between the suffrage associa tion and
State authorities. The tenth was in 1856, Oh
the part of the Mormons, who resisted the
Federal au thorities. The eleventh is the pres
ent unholy attempt at secession.

The Romanos Of War.

The following bit Of romance of the war Is
from letter dated at Lake Providence, La:
The first Kansas Regiment, of which have
spoken of before, is encamped near US. One
Of the members of that regiment, Sergent,
died in the hospital two weeks ago. After
death his comrads discovered that their COM
oanion by the side of whom they had marched
and fought for almost two years, was wo-
man. You may imagine their surprise at the
discovery. l went to the hospital and saw the
body after it was prepared for burial, and made
some INQUIRIES about her. She was rather
more than the average size of woman, with
rather strongly marked features, so that with
the aid Of mans attire she had quite a mascu-
line look. She enlisted in the regiment after
they went to Missouri, and consequently they
knew nothing of her early history. She prob
ably served under an assumed name. She
was in the battle of Springfield, where Gcner-
al Lyon was killed. and has fought II a dozen
battles and skirmishes. She always sustained
an excellent reputation both as a man and a
soldier. and the men all speak of her in terms
ofrespeet and affection. She was brave as a
lion in battle, and never finched from any du-
ty or hardship that fell to her lot. Sac must
have been very shrewd to have lived in the
regiment so long and preserved her secret SC
well. Poor GIRL she was worthy Of better
tate. Who knows what grief, trouble or per-
secution induced ker to embrace such life?
