There have been mysterious rumors
of peace lately, and the speech of Gen.
Butler is regarded as very significant
in some quarters that there is really
something on foot. The move of Sher-
mans army is supposed to have some
thing to do with it, and the story runs
as follows: Some time since there
was a secret conclave in Macon, of
the leading men Of Georgia, including
Gov. Brown and Vice President Ste
phens, and an ambassador was sent to
Washington. This gentleman was
authorized to announce to the Presi-
dent that Georgia would secede from
the Confederacy if Sherman would
march through Georgia and take pos
session of Charleston and Savannah.
The response of Mr.. Lincoln to this
request about Eve weeks since was
that he was not quite ready but would
do it after election.
It is contended that this is the real
secret of Sherman's movement, and
that it is done not only with view
Of bringing back Georgia. but North
Carolina and Alabama is connected
with it.

Gen. Grant was expected in Wash.
ington on Monday, he having been
sent for TO consult with The President.
1t is understood that the Government
is now, more than ever before, deter
mined to make the rebels feel the full
weight Of the sword. The peace ru-
mors are without foundation, and ORR
ginated in the fact that the President
complimented Gen. Butler on his New
York speech. A proclamation, how
ever, may soon be issued. There has
not been time heretofore when the
Southern Confederacy was in so much
danger at different points as now.

He has largely augmented our free
population by emancipation and immi-
grafton, while He has opened to us
new sources of wealth, and has crown
ed the labor of our working men in
every department of industry with
abundant reward. Moreover, He has
been pleased to animate and inspire
our minds and hearts with fortitnde,

the great trials of civil war into which
we have been brought by our adhe.
renee as a nation, to the cause of free
dom aud humanity, and to afford to
us reasonable hopes of an ultimate
and happy dcliverance from our dan
gers and Affections.
Now. therefore, /. Abraham Lincoln,
President Of the United States, do
hereby appoint and set apart the last
Thursday in November, as a day
which desire to be observed by all
my fellow citizens, wherever they may
be, as a day of Thanksgiving and

The Rebel Congress.

The Rebel Congress met at Rich
mond on Monday 18th instant. The
session had hardly organized when the
predestined frebrand that will divide
and distract, and powerfully assist in
destroying the South, was thrown mp
on the table. This was the PROPOSE.
ton to arm the slaves. Of course, lit.
tic was done. but the temper display
ed was Indicative of serious trouble.
In the House, Foote Of Mississippi in
favor, and Miles of South Carolina OPP
posed, opened the battle in the Sem
ate nothing was said. jeff. Davis, in
his message, lodges a square opin-
ion by saying that if the arming
should be done the time has not yet
come. The only item of Importance
in the first days proceedings is notice
of bill to raise more men for the
rebel army. 1t places resident white
males between Is and As in the ar.
my; revokes all exemptions and de.
tails, and authorizes the President TO
make details when necessary.
The Richmond Wing, criticism &
JEFF, Davis message. says S.
Two propositions are plainly dedu-
chile from the Presidents message,
which we cannot for moment believe
he would deliberately give his sane
ton to. The first is: The condition
of freedom is so much better for the
slave than that Of servitudc that it
may be bestowed upon him as a re.
ward and boon. The second is that
the Confederate Government has a
right to acquire possession of the
slaves by purchase or impressmcnt,
with compensation, and then enamel.
pate them without the consent of the
States or, in case of impressment,
even without the consent of their
masters. The first proposition is a
reputation Of the opinion held by the
whole South, and by large proper.
ton of mankind in other countries,
that servitude is a divinely appointed
condition for the highest good of the
slave. Is that the condition in which
the negro race especially may attain
the highest moral and intellectual ad.
vancement of which they are capable,
and may enjoy most largely of such
comforts aud blessings Of life as are
suited to them? OF this We have no
doubt, and we hold it to be an act of
cruelty to deprive the slave Of the
care and guardianship Of master. II
the slave must fight, he should fight
for the blessings he enjoys as a slave
and not for the miserics that would
attend him If freed. The second prop
osition is still more startling. 1t is
a concession that the Confederate
Government has the power and RICH,
to exterminate slavery by the simple
process of impressing or purchasing
all slaves, and then emancipating
them. Lincoln has never gone SO fal
as this. ..-- ,. '-.f|
