the Union, Nothing ofthe kind
has ever been intlmated or even
limited in any OF the Confederate
Presidents messages, nor In any
oil their official documents that
have ever been permitted to come
10 the light. Tie rebel papers
published in the rebel capital
clearly set forth wha: they are
IN the South for and their
only terms of peace. They are
presumed to know the Intention
of the leaders ofthe rebellion.
The Richmond dispatch of
January 10Th, speaking of the
propositions for peace recently
submitted BY Mr.. James Brooks, 4,
OF New York among otqe:
things, has the following: toi
care the Northern people all
natural born fools, or are they
only stricken with Judicial mad
ness which we are told the gods
always lndict upon the victims
OF their wrath, preparatory TO
their ruin? Can they suppose
that the South are as gaIless and
as lily-livered as themselves, and
that they are willing, for mere
considerations OF interest, to for
get the unheard-of outra5es under
which they have suffered during
this war?
II the whole Yankee race should
iall down in the dust tomorrow
and pray US to be their masters,
we would spurn them even az
slaves. Our only object is to be
separated from them finally and
loreyer-never to see the iace oil
one of them again--never to hear
the voice of another Y anSee on
the south side OF the Potomac or
/ the north-to have no traffic and
no intercourse of any description
whatever with them. We are
fighting for separation, and we
will have il, fit cost the life Of
every man in the Confederate
States"
Ungrateful rebel--to spurn so
coolIy the proffered aid of his
Northern ally In the person of a
peace, at amy price Democrat. In
the same article the following
language is found:
president Davis expressed the
sentiment of the entire Conleder-
acy in lis speech the other night,
when he said the people would
sooner unite with nation ofhy-
enas than with the detestable and
detested Yankee nation. Any
