A CALL TO FRuIr- Grower Horace
Greeley, of the New York Tribune, offers
premium of Sl00 for the best plate OF
native grapes, weighing not less than
six pounds, of any variety known to the
growers or propagators of this country.
He requires a grape that shall ripen ear
lier than the Isabella, Catawba or Di-
ana and wants to embody the best
qualities of the most approved Ameri-
can and foreign varieties. He also offers
apremium of 500 for the best bushel OF
apples, OF a variety which combines gen.
eral excellence with the quality of keep
ing in good condition at least to the LIST
of February, and is adapted TO the eli
mate and soil Of the northern and mid
die states. He wants to see if we
haven't better apple than such estab-
lished tavorites as the Northern Spy,
Baldwin, Greeming and Newton Pippin.
Another premium of 800 is offered for
the best bushel of pears.

The Peace Question.

However much or little foundation
there may be for the reports of peace
negotiations between Gen. Sherman and
the Georgia authorities, it is evident
from the following editorial of the Rich
mond Dispatch, that the rebel authori-
ties are tremblingly fearful of separate
state, action" The Dispatch says:
There is no mistaking the object of
Sherman in desiring to hold a confer
ence with Vice President Stephens and
Gov. Brown. 1t is to detach the State
of Georgia if possible, from the confed-
eracy, through the agency Of these two
gentlemen, whom from their course
with regard to the habeas corpus act and
other measures, he takes to be at heart
well disposed, to promote such mea-
sure. We are confident he will find
himself disappointed in his estimation
of these two gentlemen, yet we very
much regret that they should ever
have advocated any line of policy which
a Yankee general can by any possibili-
ty thus interpret
We trust the meeting will not be ac-
corded. 1t can answer no good pur-
pose, and is designed for no good end.
Ifthere were no other objection to it,
the very fact that it is proposed by Sher-
man is sufficient of itself to indicate its
improperly. No good citizen ought,
especially at a time like this, to do any
thing which may in the slightest par
ticular, serve to indicate that there is
difference, in his opinion, between the
interests of his state and the interests
of the confederacy. The Governor of
Georgia ought at least to recollect that
his state was one Of the first (the first
after South Carolina) to secede from
the Union, and that if ''ow she treats of
peace on her oeea terms, as a Soperetga state,
she aoithdrasos from the conteaeyacy, and leapes
her sisters The bag TO hold after haging got
them into tbas serape. el
We make these remarks because sepe-
rate State action has been agitated oflate
in more quarters than one. The late
deplorable peace delusion gave rise to
it, and the depression consequent upon
the disappointment of hopes raised by
it has kept it up We hope it has not
spread to any great extent; but we may
be assured that Sherman has heard of it.
and that 1t encourages him to seek this
conference. The constitution confers
upon the President, by and with the
consent of the Senate, authority to make
peace. If a State makes peace on her
own account she withdraws from the
Confederaey Sherman knows this, and
thinking he has his heel upon the State
of Georgia, he hopes in this way to bring
her bark into tho Irpinp ra Al a NM
ple-not the politicians-are the people
of Georgia prepared for this stepq Will
they consent to abandon Virginia, which
entered into this Confederacy because
she was determined to share the fate of
her sisters? Will she abandon Virginia
now, after having dragged her into this
war; ae cannot and will not believe
it of the gallant State of Georgia. Her
sons have fought too calamity to war
rant such a belief. so

The LAKE ERIE PLoT.-The Cleveland
Herald says the ringleader of the pirates
who seized the steamers on Lake Erie is
man named Charles H. Cole. He APP
peared in Cleveland about six weeks
ago, made q large display of gold, enter
ed into negotiations for the purchase of
two schooners, pretending to be very
loyal, made the acquaintance of the Of
ficers of the United States steamer Mich
igan, gave them suppers, and created a
sensation generally. Two weeks ago
however, he was recognized by South
ern refugee as former captain in the
rebel service. Information of his real
character was given to the police, and
he was placed under surveillance, which
resulted in securing ample evidence of
his guilt, when he was arrested and con-
tessed the plot that had been formed It
seems that he intended to get the officers
of the Michigan ashore to a grand sup
per, and drug them, his confederates in
the meantime attacking and capturing
the steamer. Six citizens of Sandusky
have been arrested for completely in
the plot.
The Montreal Herald denounces the
conduct Of those pirates who have taken
advantage of the asylum afforded
them in Canada to make war ON the
United States, and calls on the govern
ment to prevent such acts.

ARMS AND EQUIPMENTS OFFERED YER
MoNT,-A correspondent at Washington,
under date of the 18th, writes the Gale
DOMAIN as follows l....
Gov. Smith and Gen. washburn have
been here this week, from whom learn
that the Secretary of War has ,,nered 10
Vermont the Sratultous use OF fifteen
thousand stand Of arms and equipments,
with which to organize the militia of
the State, in case the legislature decide
to do so. This offer removes the great
pecuniary obstacle that has heretofore
lain in the way.
II the above statement is correct, there
is now an opportunity for our Legisla-
ture, which has made so many failing
attempts in this direction, to do some
thing.
