The Washington Star says:
In his recent raid, the Rebel Stuart
caused his telegraph operator to intercept
Union messages at Burke's Station, thus
learning more or less concerning the eff
forts being made to intercept him, and
the readiness of our forces at Fairfax Sta
ton and Fairfax Court House to give him
warm reception shou'd he venture to
visit those points. He also sent various
messages over the wrc-oDc to Fairfax
Station, purporting to order (from hcre)
the instant destruction of the considerable
quantity of army stores accumulated there.

What Ten Months Have Wrought,

While the thunder of the first Bull Run
yet rang in the ears of Congress, the
House FASTENED to pass the following res.
olutions by Il hearty unanimous vote, Feb.
ruary 18th, 1862:
ResoiUed, That neither the Federal
Government nor the people OF govern
ments Of the non-slave-holding States have
IL purpose, or constitutional right, to
legislate upon, or interfere with, slavery
in any of the States of the Union.
ResolOed, That those persons in the
North who do not subscribe to the forego-
ing propositions, are too Insignificant in
numbers and influence to excite the scri.
Gus attention or alarm of any portion OF
the people Of the Republic, and that the
increase of their numbers and influence
does not keep pace with the increase Of
the aggregate population Of the Union.
The above resolutions were adopted by
the votes of all parties, Conservatives and
Republicans alike, after actual civil wal
had already existed for three quarters og i
year.
Now, December 18th, 1862, Mr.. Samu
ell G. Fesscnden offered to the Same body
the following:
Resol0ed, That the Proclamation Of the
President, of the date of Setemher %
1862, is warranted by the Constitution
that the policy Of emancipation as ndica
ted therein is we'll adapted to hasten the
restoration of peace, is well chosen as ,
war measure, aud is an exercise of power
with proper regard to the rights of citi
zens and the perpetuity of free govern
ment.
The resolution was adopted by a vote o
78 to 81.

WAR NEWS.

The particulars of General Sullivan's battle
with the Confederate Colonel De Forrest, near
Lexington, Tenn have come to hand. The en-
gagement lasted all day. The ConfederateS
fought with desperation but were finally defeat
ed, with loss of fourteen hundred killed and
wounded and four hundred captured. The Fed
eral loss was eight hundred.
A despatch was received from Nashville stating
that heavy csnnonading was heard yesterday
some ten miles south of Marfreesboro'. The Fed
eral troops were following the Confederates,
and it is believed that they would make stand
at Tullahoma. The Federal wounded in the
late battles number about seven thousand. The
whole loss in killed, wounded and prisoners it
is believed, will not reach ten thousand. The
Confederate loss is said to be double that of the
Federal.
The advices from Vicksburg by the way of Cai-
70 arc not as late as previously received through
Confederate sources. A Richmond paper of
Saturday says that up to that date the battle had
been progressing, and that the Confederates still
held their position, but Washington journal of
last evening, is informed that despatch was re-
ceived there yesterday afternoon from Gen.
Grant, stating though he has as yet received no
official information he is satisfied that Vicksburg
is in possession the Federal forces

when Shall We Have Peace?"


The Portland Adoertiser, the leading
Republican paper in Maine, asks this i'm
portant and interesting question, and an.
swcrs it as follows. We commend the an
swer to the careful attention of those who
are so free with their charges Of treason
against every Democrat who speaks Of
peace:
We answer, when Congress shall be
persuaded that reason, not force, is THE
DIVINITY of the age in which We live
When Congress shall be persuaded that
history furnishes no example Of six mil
lions of people, educated, free aud indie
pendent, being subjugated to CAPTIVITY,
and ruled against their consent. When
Congress shall be persuaded that no nation
on earth has proven themselves powerful
enough in arms, or in wealth, to establish
and maintain, indefinitely, IL military des-
potism over six millions of white men ac-
customed to freedom, and to representa-
tive government. When Congress shall
be persuaded that every bayonet that car
ries demand for obedience to law, and
to the Federal Government, should also
carry the announcement of II religious re-
spect for the political rights out Of which
the war has arisen, and a willingness to
confer amicably upon the terms OF Il re adj
justment of those rights.
Fight on, yc men of the North and
fight on will be the cry of the men Of the
South, until, Substantially, these condi-
tious we have named shall have come to
pass. But tewerof each side shall live to en-
joy the result, as day by day passes away,
and all of each will be poorer in purse, un-
til the result that gives peace shall be at.
tanned. Peace is the child of reason and
reciprocal interest War is the heathen
and souless Moloch that devours, without
remorse, every life aud interest that stands
In the way of its imagined or proclaimed
necessities. Cold, pitiless, inhuman, is
war in its best aspect 1t makes children
fatherlo>s, wives widows, tho rich poor,
the despairing and the world itself every.
thing which it ought not to be to every
citizen and to every interest.
But fight 90, fight on, will be the i'm
pulsive cry of politicians, of aspirants to
office, Of Government jobbers and con,rac.
tors, and OF fanatical, one-idea men, both
of the North and at the South. Fight on
will be the cry Of standard loyalty, until
the still, small, and yet sublime, voice Of
the ballot-s OK shall bid battles to cease.
and reason to resume its sway over the
councils Of the nation. Then no broken
nationality--no inyidious titles to superior
righteousness in the framework of in>titu-
tions and Of society-will be recognized,
but reunited people, with one hag of ma
tional glory and stfengtE, and one Uonsti-
tuition, one Government, and one suprc-
macy, shall become the inheritance oi our
people, East, West, North and South -
If there be treason in these sentiments,
"make the most of it"
