Daily national Republican., 1863-02-12

SENsATIoN DISPATCHES TO AFFECT THE STOCK
MARKET.-It is well known that there are par
ties in Washington who make regular busi-
ness of manufacturing and sending forward
to the Northern cities dispatches, in which
there Is no truth, for the sole purpose of de-
preciatiDg or advancing stocks. Here is a
specimen In the dispatches Of yesterday;
"NEw York, Feb. 1.-The Express pub
fishes dispatch from Washington, stating
that II Is reported that Secretary Seward has re-
iected the proposition Of the French Emperor
for the North and South 10 appoint commits,
sloners for consultation in Montreal or Mex,
ico."
II Is stated that this baseless dispatch sori.
ously disturbed the stock market In Philadel
phia yesterday. OF course, somebody made
money by the dodge. Here Is the rofutation;
" WAsHIHGTOE, Feb. lit Is q sufficient
contradiction to the rumor published In othel
cities than this, that our Government has re-
jected the recently reported friendly mediation
Of Napoleon, to say that the Europa's mAili
have not yet reached hero, and that nothing il
vet known of such a proposition, save from
newspaper reports"
If there Is any meancr way Of making money
than this of manufacturing lies and sending
them abroad, we have not heard Of II.

teTnal mission hereby created; that the Presi.
dent Of the United States be and is hereby re.
quested to furnish TO said commissioners, neces.

combinations, we feel that VIC are bound TO the
Union by strong ties, aud will Cheerfully share
Its fate and future, ready 10 perform our ap
propriate parts in It's preservation whenever Of

as a duty we owe TO brave men who are In TIN

The town of Winchester this evening, was

Is oar Gov,ransnt Engaged In a WAR

Il or Government Engaged In = waTi
The Supreme Court is now engaged In hear
ing the arguments Of counsel in the prize
.eauscs, and the questions involved are Of great
interest and Importance. The parties before
tho court are, lst. The United States Govern
pnsnt I'd. The eaptors and Sd. The claimants,
Who were owners Of the vessels and cargoes
There are some half dozen different cases which
have been brought, by appeal, from the district
courts, where they were originally tried; and
though each case has It's own peculiar circum-
stances, yet, in all Of them, two grave ques-
tions are raised, which arc Of general interest :
First. Is our Government engaged in a WAR in
the sense in which that term ls understood, so
as to bring II within the principles and regula-
tions which affect foreign and neutral nations
in their commercial dealing on the seas and,
second whether, II so, the blockade, declared
TO exist. Of the rebel ports has been established
in such manner as to make the vessels cap
tulcd lawful prizes, subject to condemnation
In our admiralty courts
The property seized is mostly owned by Bri
ti5h subjects, and they urge that, under out
Constitution and laws, no war has been dc
clared and that, according to the laws Of ma
tions, war docs not now exist that the present
state Of things is nothing but an insernal civi
rebellion, which gives no right to our Govern
ment TO declare blockade Of portion Of ouI
own territory, so as TO affect the rights Of citl
zens Of other nations, who are carrying oI
commerce with our own citizens. How doopl,
those questions touch the powers Of our Gov
ernment, at this interesting period, can at one
be seen and tho decision Of the Supreme
Court upon them cannot fail to be one Of tn
most grave duties Of their session.
Among the eminent gentlemen who arc en-
ployed in the several cases, We notice Mr.. Car
Isle of this city, Mr. Edwards and Mr.. Lord o
Now York, who represent the claimants an
Mr.. Dana Of Boston, and Mr.. Evarts Of Ney
York, for the Government. The argument 70
the claimants was commenced by Mr.. Csrlisl
on Tuesday, and the others will occupy at lea'
the whole of the week.

CoNTEMPTIBLE TREASON IN NEW
JERSEY.

II lie no dlscrudit to the loyal people Of New
Jersey that they are unfortunately misrepro.
scented In their Legislature, In part, by coward.
ly or traltorous mem but ii is a burning shame
to these sncaking conductors Of Jofi. Davis and
his wicked associates, and history will not fail
to brand these New Jersey tories as they de-
serve. Lot any loyal man read the resolutions
introduced into the Legislature, and he cannot
hesitate TO place these trembling towards in
the category of the meanest of mankind.
The nation is struggling for Its lifei on the
issue hangs the future of civilization and human
liberty; its foes and would-bo assassins are tho
men who have initiated and arc urging on
rebellion, that was conceived in sin, born In
iniqulty, Graded iu falsohood, nursod on rob.
berry, and which stands forth to-day before an
astonlshcd world with its tattcred garments
dripping with fraternal blood; yet these petty
politicians have the imPudoncc and craven
spirit to counsel negotiation with these public
enemies, and ultimate submission to these
guilty and blood-stained conspirators! For
any such negotiation means absolute submls-
| sion to the insolent demands of the rebels, and
It Gun mean nothing else How would Cicero
stand to-day in tho estimation of mankind, II
be had mesnly offered to negotiate with Cati-
line, after that arch traitor was In arms against
the Republic Men who, still claiming tho
protection OF the American flag, attempt 10
compromise with treason, are meaner and
more dangerous enemies of the Republic than
those who boldly make their assault with the
cannon and the bayonet.
But, perhaps, the most impudent feature OF
this reasonable action, on the part of thcse 30
called Peace Democrats, is their cool PROPOSE
10 select Gen. Scott, Gen. Burnside, and Chan
cellor Greene as commissioners to visit thit
city and virtually demand Of President Lin
coin that he accede TO their wishes, and sane
ton the negotiation with JEFF. Davis Can thu
force of impudenco further got
1t is a pity that there is not some one, who
would not feel that he would be demeaninl
, himself by kicking these unworthy abettors o
treason into the oblivion they merit.
II is a matter of humiliation that In tn
present terrible hour Of the nations peril, ther
can be men found in the loyal States who, from
, motives of avarice or mean political ambition
are willing to even parley with rebellion tina
has no parallel for wickedncss in human histc
ry, and no prototype save In the imagination O
