PEACE!

The first resolution adopted at late Pssce
meeting in New York, reads thus:
Resolved, That We Ieiterste our opposition
to this bloody, RELENTLESS, unnecessary and
fruitless war. In our opinion IL IS time that
the whole american people Month and South
should demand cf' their rulers its immediate
discontinuancc.
We fear that we must say to those psscea
bic New Workers, speak for yomrselues.-
They peraist in latoring under the mistake
that there is a"Shols American peopls; :"
and that it bas certain rulers who arc carry
ing on III unnecessary and ffaitless war
which they ought Immediately to discon-
tinue. This must be set right. Their rulers
may be carrying on an unnecessary war
seeing it is 4 war Of invasion and aggression
Our rulers are carrying on war which is
absolutely necessary, so long as that invs-
aion continues. Their rulers can discontinue
the war when they please. Ours cannot,
and dare not 50 much as hint 1t it's discon
tinusnce. Their war may be fiuitlsss; but
ours is bearing and ripening the rich and
glorious fruit of freedom and separate lido.
pendenee, and national dignity, and an homo
radio fame.
1t is fruit that We must rear, indeed, With
pains and toll, with agony and bloody sweat,
and water with plensoous blood and tears
yet, we must bring it to perfection, and pluck
and eat thereof, or die. If we do not garner
up that noble harvest for our children, better
for those children that they had never been
born.
There is no Whole American Psopls"-
there are two-st least. And they arc all
opposed to this war;" but, in two opposite
senses. Tho New Workers are opposed to
our war, Of detence-we are opposed to their
war, OF aggression. They and their rulers
can stop when they choose, we and our ru-
lers neither can nor will.
ton
We reprint elsewhere protest by two off,
cars Of tho Staff Of the late Gen. Van Dorm,
against the description Of his character given
by our correspondent in Tennessee, in bis
account Of the murder. Ne gladly afford
those officers the Same publicity for thei,
reputation which we gave to the orieina
statement and very much regret if our cor
respondent has been misled By the juniors o
the army, to do unintentional injustice to th,
character Of brave man, now gone to hi
final account.

J. 3. Waller L Sons, Augusta, Ga:
Ds,r Sirs Il hsve received your letter of
l9ih inst. in which you inquire wSether my
letter to Hon. P. II. May should be under
Stoad as requiring Commission Merchants to
chs. 60 producers p Per cent. on all sales
made for them.
The letter TO Mr.. May ~as not intended to
adjudge the question now submitted by you.
Tho Tax Act, in defining tho business Of Com
mission Merchants, includes only the sales OF
such produce as is consigned by others than
the producers. 1t follows that in returning
his osles, the Commission Merchant is not re
qpieed to include sslss of produces for &C
count of producers, end consequently, such
ssies are not liabls to the tax.
Very respectfully,
Your ob't seIy't,
&C. G. MEMMkGKR,
Secretary OF War.
