A statement, copied iran New York papers
has been telegraphed TO New England. to the
fleet that had been TO Washington TO urge

tertained, for u moment, any other thought
than that of coDquering peace by the defeat
of the rebel armies.

is.ration is in favor of an armistice. Iperson-
sllv know that President Lincoln aud the
memb RS of his Cabinet have undnubting faith
in The success of our armies in the field.
and the ultimate, complete triumph OF our
cause. And with this belief, they will pursue
the most vigorous measSre- to raise money
