Whsn Peace VIII Come.

The following is an extract from a speech Of
Ex-senator Wright at the recent great Union
meeting in New York:
l. he were asked when peace would come,
be would say that it would come the very hour
when traitors were punished and treason
made odious. He feared it would never come
until that was done. He bad no hope for the
country until the Government wonld take hold
Of every disloyal man in the country, North
ard South, and punish him. The subject in
this country on which politicians had made the
most of capital was slavery. They said this
war was carried on with a view to interfere
with TIE Institution of slavery. The only
principle on which our rulers could be guided
was that all institutions in this country that
stand in the way of the Government must be
got cut OF the way. There was no institution
Ihat was paramount . the Govcrnmenr.-
They said that The negroes wonld monopolize
the labor of tie country. What was meant
when il wss said that the policy Of this
Government was to make the black man our
equal? Was there any magic word by which
he could perform any more labor free than
slave? The policy Of the Gcvernmcnt was 10
carry out the coUfscaiion act in lis letter ard
s,rit, and as the army vent south to copf1s-
cate tie property Of every rebel, the proceeds
to be taken TO colonize the black men when
they are free. Great applause
a great deal has been sail about the Pro
clauation. He regarded that simply as an
experiment. 7 here was never any great fact
demonstrated that it was not fr-t necessary to
make an experiment. He regarded the pro-
clamation IS coming, not from Abraham Lin
coin as President, but as Commander-in-
CHiefof the Army and Navy. He had but
exercised the same power that was exercised
10y all parties engaged in war. In this he had
only followed the example Of Napoleon, who
said Strike wherever you can weaken the
enemy" When men go into war, they must
be governed by the rules of war. If man
commit treason, he must abide by the incl
dents Of the crime Of treason. It is singu-
lar thirg if, in carrying on this war, we four {
something belonging to the enemy which we
could not touch If man was loyal, there
was nothing ne would not be willing to use to
save his country. He would use all the means
ard mpliments that God had given us. lie
was willing to Put steel toes on mules he
would call into use the fangs of the rattle
suake and send them forth to strike where
ever a rebel could be found. The man who
loved bis party better than be loved his coun-
try was 10 patriot The country could not
be saved By a party; it was to be saved by
bullets, bsyones, and the whole North united.
There was no hope for it in any other way.

THE HEW&


The late rebel raid into Kentucky
proved to be not a very formidable
affair, and was of short DURATION
A few thousand troops entered the
State, stole few hundred horses,
robbed the people of the section
visited, and then to avoid cncoun-
tering our forces sent to meet them
beat hasty retreat. A dispatch
from Louisville says they were over
hauled Tuesday, near the Cumber-
land, and after an engagement Of
five hours. were defeated, loosinG
most of the plumber they had secu-
red.
From Vicksbarg there is nothing
to warrant the conclusion that any
material advantage has as yet been
gained by our troops. The reports
are very conflicting, ard not as CT
couraging as they were few days
ago-though ii is impossible TO say
what is the exact state of affairs, or
what the prospects of final success
are.
From the most reliable infos'Ina-
tion attainable, it seems that only
two of Farragut's vessels succeeded
in passing the batteries at Port
Hudson, though it IS probable that
ere this, others have followed them.
There is nothing important from
either the army of the Cumberland
or that Of the Potomac. They are
both said to be in a splendid ccndi-
ton, and ready for any emergency.
The latest reports from the south
ern coast say the gunboat feet had
left Hilton Head bound, it was sup
posed, for Charleston and ifso, we
may soon expect exciting news from
that quarter.
All accounts from rebeldom con
cur in representing the rebels as in
most desperate straits for food and
clothing, and it is manifest That IN
less succur soon reaches them the
rebellion must collapse frcm exhaus-
tion.

Swiftly glide our years-they follow each
other like the waves of the OCEAN. Memory
calls up the persons we once knew, the scenes
in which we once were actors,-they appear
before the mind like phantoms of night

too rapidly for him-the light of hope dances
in his eye-the smiles of his expectation plays
upon his lips-he looks forward to long years
of Joy to cOme-his spirit burns within him
whea lie hears of great men, aUd mighty
deeds-he wants to be man-lOngs to mount
the hill of ambition, to tread the path of hon
or, TO hear the shout ofspplause. Look at bin
again-he is now in the meridian of life care
har stamped its wriskle upon his brow-dis-
appointment has dimmed the lustre OF his eye
sorrow has thrown gloom over his coun-
tenance-he looks back upon the waking
dreams Of MS youth, and sighs for their fulfill
ity-each revolving year seems to diminish
something from his little stock of happiness
and he discovers that The season of youth
whca the pulse of anticipation beats highs
the only season Of enjoyment. Who is he Of
the aged locks? Ills form is bent and totters
his footsteps move more rapidly to-

London papers complain OF the great in
crease Of bankruptcy in England. Nine thou
sand this year, against about two thousand in
former years. The incerse is attributed to
the American war, which, being interpreted,
means that English spectators, in attempting
to make money by aiding the rebels, have lost
it instead.
John Trimble, prominent Union man of
Nashville, has freed his slaves, thirteen in
number, and it is reported that Wm. r. Ber-
ry, another Union citizen, has done the same
thing.
Mr.. Williams, State Pay Agent, deposited
with the Treasurer of State on Friday, 1865,
399, the allotment fund received from the Ohio
regiments at Murfreesboro. This is creditable
to our brave soldiers.

The most encouraging accounts reached us
from the army Of the Potomac. From the au-
ihority Of Major General Hooker and Medical
Letterman, we learn that the health Of that ar.
my is better than that Of ary army ever known
in the world. The statistics of he Sanitary
Commission have proved that ever since the
beginning Of the war cur army has suffered
much less from disease than any of modern
times; and this notwithstanding our defective
organization and the haste with which our
forces were put into the field. The loss from
sickness in the rebel army, on the other side
of the Rappanhannock, is seveuty-fve per cent
greater than among our soldiers; but even
that does not equal the losses of the French
and English armies 10 the Crimean and Ital-
ian wars Washington Chronicle.
