ON LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN - GEN.
FRANK BLAIR At TUsCUMBlA.

While the Army of the Potomac is quietly
repairing the Orange and Alexandria Railroad,
recently destroyed by the rebels, our armies at
the West are making glorious progress.
The rebels south OF Chattanooga have been
surprised, aanked, and driven from their strong
position, SO that communications for supplies
are open to Grants army.
Gen. Hooker has attacked and captured, with
bu, little opposition, Lookout Mountain. This
position is in itself nearly impregnable. OIL
GERS from the army of the Cumberland familiar
with the locality say that division could hold
it against all the force that could be brought
against 1t. 1t seems, however, that It was cut
of in such q manner that Bragg's forces were
Obliged to quit it after the failure of the mid
night attack upon Hooker. The importance OF
the advantages gained at this point can hardly
be over estimated. The rains had rendered the
roads over which supplies were carried to Chat
tanooga impossible, and our army began tc
experience difficulty in getting provisions and
stores Now the communication Is ample

CAPTURE OF TUsCUMBIA.

On the eth instant, Major General Frank
Blair, of Gen. sherman's expedition, entered
and occupied Tuscumbia, Alabama. Tuscum-
bla is fifty or sixty miles east of Corinth, Miss,
situated on the Charleston and Memphis rail-
road, along which shermau's forces are ad-
vancing towards Chattanooga.
It will be remembered that the rebels gave
Sherman fight little east of Corinth, and il
was stated that they had fortified Tuscumbia,
and would make an obstinate resistance at that
point. 1t appears, however, that they have
been beaten and that our brave Western troop,
occupy this Important point.

ment. Some of them now declare they have
never been Republicans, though they have
acted with the Observation-Disclosures are inca

tives-while Others are impelled by disap-
pointed ambition. They have not made, nor
will they make, any public declaration of prln-

THE ADDRESS OF THE D1soRGANIzERs.

The thimbe-riggers of the so-caled Peoples
party, have issued an address, calling County
Convention, defining the purposes of that or.
ganization, and setting forth the machinery
by which it is to be operated. The manifesto
is signed by the County Committee-but its
windy and unintelgible sentences, long
drawn out" high sounding words and weak
attempts at wit, with general muddiness OF
expression, and an entire absence Of point,
betray most Enthusiastically its author. AT q
time when something definite was expected
to satisfy the public demand as to the objects
of the new scheme, this address would damage
the reputation of a ,ffth-rate pettifogger.-
The public is no more enlightened as to any
great objects to be effected, than before this
brilliant political paper was published. 1t is
jumble Of hiialutia', Pennsylvania rail road,
and pretentiousnesS. If the author studied to
avoid giving olfense to the Copperhead por,
tion of the unholy alliance" he has succeeded
admirably. If he meant to give expression to
views demanded by the times, he has made q
miserable failure.
We are pleased to see, however, that the
leaders, Judging from this paper, have given
m their conservative calculations Last fall,
there were strong Indications that the meas
ures of the Government, adopted to put down
the rebellion, were distssteful to the movers
in this Peoples party, and that their sympa'
thes were with those who were embarrassing

WHAT THE SOUTH REJECTED.

We publish on our first page, as seasonable
at the present time, the address and resolutions,
adopted by the Peace Convention, held at
Washington, previous to the breaking out OF
the rebellion That body, it will be recollect.
ed, was composed of two Commissioners from
each state represented, and was called togeth-
er at the request of Virginia, ostensbly to
adopt measures to avert the danger then threat
eniug the country. The action Of the mem,
be,s from the Slave States, and subsequent
history, however shows that the true purpose
Oh the part of the rebel movers was not TO
bring about settlement of our National diff
ficultes, but to gain time to consummate the
plans of the rebels, and afford, if possible, a
pretezt for plunginS the country into civil
war
In that Convention, the northern states
were represented by men whose reputation was
OF being the most exacting and radical upon
the question of slavery-such men, for iUst nee
as Messers. CHASE, WrMoT, Tuck, Of New
Hampshire, ard others, equally well known
for their consistent opposition to the plans CT
the slavery propagaudists. The proceedings
of the Convention, which have since been pub
lsbed, show that these men, came togeth er
with an anxiety to promote the peace Of the
country, and if possible with self-respect, to
adopt measurs to satisfy the South.
On the 26jh Of February, 1861, Amos Tuck,
of New Hampshire, introduced a proposition
to adopt the address and resolutions which We
give on the first page, as the action of the CON
vention and the friends of Cancellation in the
North resolved to make this the rallying
ground and the basis Of their efforts for peace
Let the address and resolutions be examined
carefully, I'd let any man say whether they
did not offer all that patriotic men could under
the circumstances. Yet mark the fact, that
this proposition was rejected 10y a vote of eleven
against nine, and that erCry stare state roied
against IT, Here were resolutions in effect de
claring that the Fugitive Slave law ought 10
Ge executed that offensive statutes ought to
be repealed, AID that convention Of the states
ought to be called to amend the constitution, il
other evils could be thought Of, to require it,
What more could men do Yet, not southern
state would accept those proposals Secretary
Chase was a member of the Peace Congress,
and made speech in favor of the adoption of
the address and resolutions. Yet they failed
receiving not a vote of single slave state
What folly now to talk of offering new propo
sitions of similar, or of any sort, to rebels in
arms who rejected all overtures before the war!
The convention afterwards adopted by a ma
jority vote proposition of Mr.. Guthrie, of Ii en-
lucky, but they did 30 good. The truth was,
the rebellion had been perfected uuder Buchan-
au and his Secretaries, our ships had been sent
to the ends of the earth, our money had been
stolen and the North had been disarmed, and
the conspirators could not afford to lose their
labor aud the only change they would ever
have to destroy the government, by admitting
any terms of pacifcation.
