Death of Senator James A. Pearces--Con-
gfeHslonal Tributes % his Memory.
Hon. J. A. Pearee. Of Maryland, whose
death occurred but few weeks ago, was
one efthe veterans Of public life. Hehad
been the eOtempOrhry Of Webster, Cal
hOun and Clay upon the Congressional
floor, and had seen almost q generation Of
men pass away while he pursued his daily
life at the Capital. For theiast six months
Of his life he suffered intensely, and was
obliged to be absent from his seat during
much Of the last extra session. He was
born December l4th, 1906, and was conse-
queltly ffty-seven years, Of age at his
death In 1885 he was elected to the House
Of representatives, from his district, and
vas reelected in 1887. He was 1ent for an
other term from 1s41 to 1853. During
this time he was active in the movement to
refund the fne imposed upon General
Jackson. In l843 he Wss elected to the
senate, and had been re=eiected for each
succesding term until his death, his pres
ent term not expiring until 1867. BE was
Professor Of Law IN Washington College at
Ghe4ieriass-a, n.s1 ,-zsss size uegree Of Doc
tor Of Laws conferred by two Colleges. he
was offered seat upon the bench Of the
U. s. District Court in Maryland, but de-
elm. He was also nominated by Mr..
Fillmore and confirmed by the Senate as
Secretary Of the Interior, but declined the
honor. He was a Regent Of the smithson-
ian Institute, and Chairman Of the Joint
Committee upon the Library Of Congress.
These facts exhibit the legal, literary, and
scientific attainments Of the deceased. In
politics he had always been a Wing until
the death of that party, after which he
acted with the Democrats. He was fear
lessly for the Union during the present
rebellion, but was discouraged al the ma
tiOnhl prospect ahead.
Senator Pearcs, during the stormy days
Of the Compromise measures Of 1850, Op-
posed the position Of Henry Clay, and car
ried his point through the Senate. He
achieved distinction even when such men
as Benton, Webster, Clay and Calhoun
Jwayed the measures and policy of the
country.
Personally, Mr.. Pearce is spoken Of as
he embodiment of Christian integrity and
honor. In announcing his death in the
House, on Tuesday last, Hon ]. W. Girls
ield Of Maryland, read letter from son
If Senator Pearce, written the day after
ais death, from which wequOte the follow

The LOUISVILLE PEACE CoSyEsTIoS REscSp-
Ep.--The Kentucky House Of Representatives
on the llsh inst rescindod its resolution, passed
the day before, inviting peace commissioners
from other State Legislatures to meet commis-
sioners TO be appointed by Kentucky in peace
convention at Louisville, while In the
Illinois Legislature the House resolutions
to the same effect pushed through
that branch by q dlsunion peace demo-
cratic majority, were left untouched upon the

said Legislature had doubtless read and duly

The REBEL CoNscRTPrroN or FAM
ING STRENGTH.-The extraordinary measures re-
sorted to by the Confederate government to fill
up the depleted ranks Of its army tell tale Of
failing resources in that respect more conclusive
than anything else we have yet seen. Officers
dropped from the service for military offences
are. being re-drafted as common soldiers, and in
Alabama, Georgia and the southeastern portion
Of North Carolina proclamations have been
issued by the rebel Governors offering free
pardon to deserters If they will come in and
join their regiments. Hitherto the punishment
for desertions amongst the rebels has been very
severe. This extreme severity has not been
found to work veil, and now the Confederate
authorities are willing TO condone the offence in
order to get back the men whose escape is 30
rapidly thinning their ranks. We do not see
how these new measures are going to help them
If these deserters braved death In the first in
stance to escape from their clutches, 1t is not
likely that they will again voluntarily place
themselves within their grasp

Tax WHOLE QUESTION IN A NUTSHELL
The Tribune of yesterday says Of the conserva-
tive democrats They are not disunionists-
they do not desire the permanent division of
our oountry-but they do hope and expect to
achieve It's reconstruction" This is precisely
the difference between the conservatives and
the abolition radicals. The radicals are dis
unionists'-they do "desire the permanent
division Of our country'-and they do not
"hope and expect to achieve its reconstruction. y
let the people remember this distinction.

GENERAL H. s FoorE's PEACE PROPOSITION IN
THE REBEL CoSGREss.-The rrepressible Gene
raj Foote has introduced another peace propo-
sition in the rebel Congress, in the form Of
series of resolutions, which have been referred
to the Committee on Foreign Reations:-
His resolutions declare that the Confederate states win
consent 10 any plan for recoDstrucng the federal
Union that the Confederate states cannot agree nego
tate nj AL in regard TO suspension or hostties except
upon the basis OF unconditional recognition OF their indie
pendenco that after separation the Con ederate states
would consent 70 commercial treaty with all the states
states would consent to league Offensive and defensive
with the several States which have recently manfest
change OF public senmsnt uron their stpuatng for de
ssting al once from the further prosecution of the
aud that the Confederate States will guarantee the
full and Uninterrupted gaton OF the Mississippi aud
Its tributaries TO the states bordering thereon when
have declared their inclination 10 withdraw from the
prosecution or the war.
Now this famous General Foote, be it remem-
bered, is regarded in Richmond as Southern
peace man, in which character his proposition
that .he loyal States shall not only recognize
the Davis confederacy but shall divide them
selves into three or four separate confederacies,
is exceedingly cool. Let General Foote be
enrolled on the great peace committee Of Louis
Napoleon, vallandigham, Greeley, Colorado
Jewett 4 Co. At all events, as General Footc
has the reputation OF blatherskite, and Val
landigham is set down as copperhead, Greeley
as a cabbage head and Colorado Jewett as a
blockhead, they should all 60 together.

Who VOTED AGAINST MCCLELLAN :-Several
anxious republicans have written to us asking
who were the republican Senator'S who voted
down the complimentary resolutions to General
Mcclellan in our State Legislature few days
ago. Although we do not belong to that
Society for the Diffusion Of Useful Know
ledge" which meets at Delmonico's, we still
manage to difuse considerable useful know
ledge daily; and here is the record called for
Mr.. CONNOLLY called up the resolutions, almost

General Mcclellan and inviting him to visit the,
Capitol. 4
Mr.. ANGEL moved to lay the resolutions ON the

Mr.. CONNOLLY called for the yeas and nays on
the motion of Mr.. Angel.
The yeas and nays were ordered, and the resolu-
ti0ns laid on the table by the following vote:-

CoSTRABASD NEwx.-A letter from Connee-
ticut regiment stationed at Falmouth Virginia.
10 New Haven paper, among other things states
that "the next day after the Ninth army corps
had left the rebels hailed our pickets and ask
ed. Where is your Ninth Army csrps gone
TO 2 = The correspondent adds that /" the
rebels are sbrewd." II thus appears that the
rebels knew that the Ninth army corps had
moved on the very day after it was really re-
ported to have changed i,s position. The fact
Of its removal was not known to the Northern
people. IL was suppressed in the Northern
papers as contrabsnd news, and the first inti-
nation Of the fact came North from South
en sources. This is very curious, to say the
least OF it, and shows that the rebels have by
far too reliable means Of obtaining information
from within our lines. This incident reminds
us Of The fact that when we published full re-
turn of the strength and status Of the rebel
army. the Confederate government at Richmond
instantly arrested three or four Of their clerks
on the suppo-ition that they had given us the
information, whereas we had complied the
whole thing from their own papers.
