name imnlies. come last and shut the door to
/ further negotions. The Sentinel then pro
! ceeds to deDounce President Lincoln for slain
ming the door rudely ia our faces In ILLUSION
to The Indirect notice which he gave to a III
NOR that rebel peace commissioners had ar
rived on the northern border, empowered to
open negotiations. The Richmond organ is
greatly disturbed by this cavalier conduct OF
| the President. It has become the disciple OF
peace, and earnestly studies the ching which
make for peace.
The Sentinel continues:
eve do not mean to anticipate or prescribe
the action of the commissioners. Let them
enter uto the negotiations untrammelled Dy
ultimate. other than that any terms OF peace
they may agree on shall be subject to be re
iected or ratified by their respective Govern.
ments. As to the slavery question, we would
leave that TO be settled last The question OF
independence concerns us all. The subject OF
slavery but part OF us.
The Chronicle, in return, denies that Mr.
Lncoln's TO all whom it may concern vas
designed as an ultimatum, and says:
s'Cay and Holcombe were aware that they
had carried the imposture far enough, and
that they had no proposition to make, LOOKING
to a restoration of the Dnlon upon terms
which would not be an insult to the Govern
ment, and to every honorable citizen. lhls Is
the real secret Of their taking fire so lncontl
nently at the Presidents dispatch, AID refu
sing to see in it anything less than ali unalter
able determination to insist upon the a5andoa-
ment of slavery as preliminary to negotiation.
We need not say that no such Inference is
fairly deducible from the language OF the dis
patch. and we cannot doubt that the II esldent,
if appealed to by commission having author
ity from the commander Of the rebel forces
would have yielded the point OF making the
abandonment of slavery a preliminary con-
dition. .

Peace Eeg0t atlons.
The recent peace movements at Mag ara
Falls. although entire failures even as pre1ml,
naties to more formal negotiations, Gave yet
called forth propositions and suggestions IN
which even as through a glass, darkly may
he seen the desires of the people and govern
ments on whom depend, for solution, the ques-
nons now submitted to the bloody arbltrament
81, war. Foremost among these are the articles
on the subject, at Washington aid Rich
mond, by two public journals, each OF which Is,
hy nopular report, IN the confidence OF the ad
ministration it uphoIds. For this reason We
believe we can perform no more acceptable ser
vice to our readers than to reproduce seya0ta'1a
the recent utterances OF these journals:
The Washington Chronicle Mr. }. ".
Forney) sometime since gave utterance to the
opinion that
srrhere was an undoubtea sentiment in favor
al peace at the North unopposed except by
some mean army contractors, or sordld army
followers
The Richmond Sentinel (Mr R. NJ SMITH
thereupon replies:
ssThe prospects Of peace are very promising
Nine tenths Of the people, North and South,
are heartily tired and sick Of the war. But
the prospects are not quite SO bright as MIR.
Forney paints them for, unfortunately, there
are great many people, North and South, be-
sides army contractors and camp followers IN
-terested In the continuance OF the war. ct
we. thank The Chronicle for its admission, and
accept it in the kind spirit in which we hope
and believe it Was made.
Whereupon tie Chronicle rejoins:
.trhe Richmond Sentinel, supposed to speak
hv authority Tor JEFF Davis, dedlcates an edi
torial to the subject Of peace, and processes to
ha nleased with remark of this journal, that
.sthroughout the entire North there is an I'm.
donbted sentiment in favor Of peace, unop
posed except by some mean army contractors
or sordid army followers" This is taken IN
the sense Of being in favor OF peace at any
price and as indicative OF great change OF
sentiment Bat We need not say that each OF
these differences is false. The people OF the
loyal States, and The Chronicle, as an organ
of loyal sentiment, have always been anxious
for peace, but not such peace as would discover
or dishonor thecountry.
The Sentinel further says:
ssWhen both sides desire peace, peace can,
not he very far off Where there's will
there away. La the meantime, we pre-
snme neither side will remit it's exertlons, nor
lessen it's vigilance In prosecuting the war
We would respectfully suggest, however that
Ills little out of the ordinary course OF peace
negotiations to begin with ultimate. They, as
1he;r names implies, came last, and shut the
aoor on further negotiation. Now we want to
treat, to bargain, to negotiate for peace, and
W. Lincoln, who, it seems, wants peace also,
IN not design to show his face to us, much

Committee OF Arms and Clothing.

that when apprzed of the transaction he took the re-
sponsbhty of directing the Clerk Of the market TO
prevent the removal of the beef The only authority
presented by the officer letter from Maj. Rufn,
of the Commissary Bu;eAn, directing him to go into
the markets and obtain supply of beef.
Mr.. Glazebrook submitted the following resolution,
which adopted:
