The statement, briefly, was that on as

Potomac, Hooker asked that Gen. Stone
should be appointed his Chief of Staff.
The Government refused the request,
and tho recently announced Chief Of
Staff was then asked for. Three times

PROPORTIONS or PEACE.

The people of these States very well
remember that Baron Mercer, the
French Minister at Washington, made
pilgrimage to Richmond last spring. II
will also be remembered that speculation
was rife as to the objects OF his journey

anosher-the country was much agita-
ted about the matter at the time, but
none guessed tho truth. 1t appears
that he was sent there. Mr. Mcrcicr
states that he went to RichE opd at the
request OF Secretary Seward, for the
express purpose Of inducing the Confed-
crates to abstain from further hostile
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to send Senator's
to the Federal Congress. In tho Ian
gaage of the Secretary Of State, as re.
ported by Baron Mercicr-
"The American Minister charged him
to state at Richmond that the North
WAS actuated by no sentiments Of re-.
veDge, and that great satisfaction would
be afforded to the Inhabitants by the
sight of snch Senators as the South
might consent TO send
The object Of the mission, then, was
Peace nothing else. 1t was virtual
proposition to lay down the Federal
srms, provided the Confedera.ss would
do the same thing. 1t was an invita-
