THE DESIRE FOR PEACE.-The Milwaukee
NeWs, the central organ of the Democratic
party of Wisconsin, has an able and forclbls
article on the great desire for peaces &c We
quote the following admirable extract, for
the purpose offully endorsing the sentiments
it contains:-sfThrougho the whole land ,
earnest and heartfelt prayers are being offer
ed up for peace. Right or wrong, the most
bloody, most Intellectual, most devastating
war of century is drawing to a close. The
government is powerless to long continue
conflict, which the popular judgment con-
demns. few NOSE battles must be fought !,
IA few thousand may be slain. But ere
the flowers of June fairly bloom, we shall
hear the boom of the last hostile gun. We
allege but q fact, as palpable to all as to u.s.
Outside the dominant party, there never has
been any large number Of the people un-
equivoeally committed to war as means
of restoring the American Union. 1t re-
quires the suppression of presses, threats OF
imprisonment, temptations to plundefi the
official favor Of the government, the lavish
distribution of civil military honors, the ex-
penditure of thousands of millions of the
peoples money, to procure even the seeming
unity of public ssntim ent in favor OF war.-
With threats, with bribes. with brute power,
With usurpations, the Administration, which
has been guided by the will of the people,
attempt to conquer it. Hence war; hence
hence the death of thousands
of the noblest men ever born; hence the
division ofthe Republic, and the final up
rising of the people for theaConstitution in
November when popular instinct became
nopular conviction. This is history"

a GREAT STATESMAN TO THE PEOPLE,
The following is an extract from a speech
delivered in 1888 by that great statesman
and true patriot, Alexander Ham ilton, in
the convention that was held in the State of
Now York for the ratification of the Con-
stitution of the United States. 1t will be
remembered that Hamilton was also mem
ber of the convention which framed the
Constitution:
The States can never lose their powers
till the whole people of America are robbed
of their liberties. these must go together.
They must support each other, or meet a
common fate. l wish the com mittee to re-
member that the Constitution under e1ami-
nation is framed upon truly republican prin-
ciplcs, and that, as it is expressedly designed
for common protection and the general
welfare of the United States, it must be ut
terly repugnant to this Constitution to sub
vert the State Governm ents or oppress the
people. The coercion Of States is one of the
maddest projects that was ever devised. A
failure Of compliance will never be confined
to single State. This being the case, can
we suppose it wise to haz ard a civil war?
1t would be nation at war with ITSELF
Can any reasonable man be well disposed
towards Government that makes war and
carnage the only means of supporting itself
"a Government that can exist only by the
sword? Every such war must involve the
innocent with the guilty. This single con-
sderation should not be inefficient to dis
pose every peaceable citizen against such a
Government

Power OF MoNEY.-The power money is,
on the whole. over estimated. The great

many Of them little raised above the condi-
ton of manual laborers in point of worldly
circumstances. And it will always be so.-
Riches are ofteuer 40 impediment than a
stimulus for action; and in many cases they
are quite as much much misfortune as a
blessing. The youth who inherits wealth
is apt to have life made too easy for him,
and he soon grows sated with. it, because he
has nothing left to desire. Having no
special object to struggle for. he finds TIM

6TA corresponds ent wants to know what
we think of an armistiee. We don't think
it would be of any value at all, unless a
previous understanding was had of the basis
of settlement.
Our opinion Is, that National Cenven-
ton should be proposed to the Southern
States, and that the offer shall be kept an
open one, with the condition that whenever
accepted by the Southern States the war
should cease, and all pains and penalties be
expunged from the statute books, and all
proclamations and military orders revoked
We are perfectly willing to leave the set
element of this question to National Con-
ventiou, giving ample time for consideration
aud free discussion. We know no other
fair way to settle the m after. The Admin
istration at Washington has 10 power to ad-
Just this matter; and we doubt the disposi-
tion of the men at Washington or Richmond
to settle any way but upon dissolution of
the Union. Each man concerned wants a
country he can cut figure in, and not one
of them would be heard of any more in
restored Union. An armistice without some
understanding would, it seems to us, only
lead to a renewal of hostilities, with less
hope of pesce than before. We shall be-
told that 1t is needless to offer a National
Convention, for the South can not or will
not accept it. .l 20
No one knows what the South will do.
She will never accept an offer never made,
of course. We believe she will accept it;
and if any State accepts it, the war could
cease as to that State. 3 @
We are for any means that promise peace
and union, and our judgment is that any set

would preserve the Great Republic as one
country. They would find 1t easier to unite
than to divide. We don't see what an un-
conditional armistice would do with the
men at Richmond and the men at Wssh-
ington to negotiate. They would not keep
out of this trouble when they might have
done so much easier than they can now get
out. They might agree to let the people
settle it; but we doubt if they will until
forced to do SO by the power of public opin-
ion, or the power of ballots or bullets, or

gives the following account of the shooting
of Lieutenant Colonel Kimball. OF Hawkins
Zouaves: ... .s...
I learn that Colonel Kimball had COM
mand Of the outer picket guard, and during
the evening General Corcoran approached
the post and was properly challenged by the
guard. Instead of giving the conntersign.
General G. simply said. Il am General Cor
eoran.' Under the circumstances, with a
rebel force in close proximity, an enemy
might have said the same thing, and Colonel
Kfmball refused to let General Corcoran
pass without the proper word. General U.
attempted to ride on, when his bride was
seized by ColSnel Kimbal. In the excite,
