Backing Down ConsIderab1y.

One of the consequences of the recent
elections is decided change in the tone of a
portion of the Democratic press which was
favorable to an armistiee and peace upon any
terms the rebels might PROPOSE even the re
eognition7 of the Cunfederacy. The N "
World has tackled about, and the Buffalo
Courier, not behind in the retreat from fatal
policy, now uses the following language: sd
! I" The organization, of ii speace party, in
the present condition of National affairs, will
be found an uphill business, not likely to prove
profitable to politicians who engage in it,
The result of elections where the issue of
sthe vigorous prosecution of peace has been
presented, haye not been So favorable as to
encourage further; experimenting in this di-
rection.'
It is evident that new platform will have
to be constructed before the fall campaign sets
in.

Peace Question: uses. the following language:

States than one centralized military despot-
ism, But we do yet so far despair of the

pie as to see no escape from despotisn butin
the gulf of disunion. It is certain that, in
the present temper of the South, peace is at

WASHINGTON, April Is.

The rebels have moved in force upon York
town and Suffolk. and were beaten back from
yorktown by Gen. Reyes to Williamsburg
leaving behind their ammunition, arms aud
knapsacks. There is rumored lighting at Suf
folk. but no particulars are known. The most
vigorous preparations for resistance are being
made. A dispatch from Fortress Monroe Of
yesterday says that diminishing Is going on al
Williamsburg. Lieut. Col Kimball. of Haw-
kins' Z0uaves, was killed between Norfolk aud
Suffolk On Saturday night by means unknown.
The following has been received at head
quarters
