lining what it means by peace says;
Then, what do we mean by "peace?" We
mean that the hostile armies retire from the
conflict We mean that the din of war shall
cease. We mean that tho States shall stand
IN the attitude they did after England nc.
knowiedged their several independents
they shall stand as they did the day that the
IConvention that framed the draft ofthe Con.
stltution was first assembled The first step
OF all ls for each State to assert for itself and
to recognize in every other State, free, indie
pendent and sovereign integrity. Such was
the condition of the States when The Union
was first formed. Such must it be again. as
the condition precedent Of any future rela.
lions. We cannot stand altogether, as the
States stood then. At that time, no States
had recently made war on another. No State
had shed the blood of citizens OF another
State. The people of all the States had stood
as band of brothers battling against a com.
mon foe. The idea of war between State and
state was neither in net nor in threat-eIse
there had never been Unon-but it was n
promotion OF danger that all wished to avoid.
SO 1t must be again. That preposterous
smile OF 'the sword in one hand and the olive
branch in the other must be dropped. The
two are incompatible. Such double-handed.
ness beepeaks double and divided heart
If the sword be in zone hand it means still
aoar ltmeans threat, and brave men, arm.
ed, never yield to threats lftbe olive branch
be offered, it must be with the right hand
and ii the sword be kept in the left, it ia an
assassins weapon The sword and the OLIVE
branch cannot be rendered together. They
are Incompatible They are an insult, if they
were not an absurdity, Try such pranks with
slaves or with children, never with freemen.
But return the sword into its scabbard, and
bid it be still. Make toastng-forks of your
bpyonets Use your cannon for mile-posts
along the railways, or convert them into seats
for Brigadier3 to rest on while blacking the
boots Of wayfarers in the public parks and let
the whole vulgar and fraudulent machinery of
war, with all its elamorOus opportunities, be
stopped and let the sane, the judicious, and
the good men on each side, have opportunity
TO consult together, as, even in the 'hubbub of
war, they are trying already to do.

A Charleston letter TO the Baltimore
American, dated on the feet on the oath,
says;
As intimated in my last we have sail
ed down here with the expectation Of ;
month or two more Of inactivity. The
strike among the engineers at the North
which has delayed the completion Of the
monitors and deprived our irOnclad feet Of
reinforcements, which were expected here
more than month since. has been the
primary cause of the delay. The dissster
to the Weehawken and the coming of the
winter season with it's constant storms,
has still further enforced this delay.
Two months hence spring will be sd-
vanced here and with our ironclad force
increased by three or four new monitors,
we will be prepared to take advantage Of
the most healthful and pleasant part of
the season Let US hope if Grant does
not steal march on us by one Of his fam
GUS rear sttseks, that Charleston will then
fall. In the meantime, If We cannot look
for immediate and decisive results here if
no great disaster be apprehended. General
Gilmore's position is impregnable. The
monitor Lehigh by the time this reaches
you, will have completed the repairs rem
dered necessary by the hsmmering she
received while aground. The Patapsoo
has nearly completed her repairs and will
shortly relieve the Nantucket at Warsaw
Sound. Both the Patapseo and Lehigh
have been provided with extra dock plates
that will add to their invurlnerability.

cred an address there not long ago. in
which he set forth the position of the Gov
ernment with admirable cleRrness and
justice, and demolished all the sophistries
which have been dragged into the service
OK the rebel cause. He was interrupted
constantly and very rudely, as indeed it
seems to be impossible for an English or
Canadian assembly to listen calmly to any
speeches which do not echo their own
opinions; but he replied in every instance
with perfect self-eommand, and in the
most direct and pointed manner to his
questioner5. Mr.. Smith took the same
ground here which he held throughout-in-
sisting that the war was wsged for the
preservation of the Union and not for the
extinction Of slavery; and that this cause
was one which should command the sym
psthy Of every intelligent lover of human
rights throughout the world.

Mr.. John Letcher, the retiring Governor
Of Virginia, in his retiring Message, sees
1T to say that
This war has been wagsd by our enc
mics not to preserve the principles and
obligations Of written Constitution, nor
the rights OF persons, nor the right Of
property, nor the institutions Of the coun-
try, but to crafty a feeling of undying
hate for 8 people who had neither inflicted
wrong nor injustice upon them"
Now the world can bear witness that
the haze in this struggle is entirely on
the side Of the rebels. They are always
prOclsimiDg their implscable hatred Of
the 'Ysnkees' and proving it by their
arts. We dc not doubt that the rebel
chiefs hate the Unionistsls as intensely as
Satan and his confederates hated the an
gels BY whom they were defeated and cast
out. But they are not the Southern peo-
pie By any means, as Arkansas, Louisiana
and Western Texas are now bearing wit
ness.
John Letcher pretends not to know
whvt the Unionists are fighting for unless
1t be hate. Yet he kuoWs right well that
one-third Of the State whereof he was
chosen Governor, did unite in the Rebel.
Hon--never pretended to-wss never for q
week ander the rebel fsg-but has always
adhered to the Union. He asserts that
Virginia will never hear Of peace without
disuRlon; and, even then, she must have
