the hope held out tethe South IN Nc
Clellan's election, be says
The election Of Mcclellan, if that were
possible. would only sprolong tie war,
and make the desolation Of your land
more complete. He might suspend ssni =
itsry operations for time, and negos z
ate for peace, but the Only terms Jeft-
erson Davis will ever offer him will be
ssch as he dare not accept Mr.. Davis
has no idea Of Abdicatiug his sovereign
ty; and il Mcclellan were so mad as to
aceede to his demands, his own residences
wonid sooa be q less comfortable one
than the white House at Washington,
From this source, therefore, you have
nothing to expect but still greater destl-
tuition and prolonged misery - evils, it
is true, which will be shared in some
degree by the North but that is . poor
consolation The plain and direct road
to a peace is before goa. You need not
consult Mr.. Davis, or Mr. Lincoln, or
Mr.. McClallau on the ssbject You
went cut by separate State action; you
can come back in the same way. In the
soEthern Confederaey, at least, there
ought to be no donial Of your right to
do So II was the doctiine the leaders
ineuleated when they wished yeu to
please them By gong out of the Union
aud they can not object to 1t when you
wish 10 please yourselves by going IN.
This is your remedy remedy inde-
pendent Of the will or wishes OF those
who are compromised too deeply to eS-
peet ready forgiveness. and who wish 70

"ABoLIrIoSIsx The Times copies
statement from the Henderson Reporter,
saying;
"0n Sunday last twenty-niae negroes,
men and women, received the ordinance
of baptism at the wharf in front of the
city. Elder A. J. Miller, pastor of the
Baptist Church, was the officiating min
lister.
1t is astounding that these papers,
which have such horror of anything
black, should not have denounced the
above ceremony and religious rite as
abolitionism." The Reporter and
Times certainly were guilty of an over.
sight, for which they should apologize to
their Democratic" readers, as the
Times did for certain hotel when s
late diner at that carsvansary found a
negro waiter at the table in the dining
room.
Ii "negroes have no rights which
white men are bound to respect" &C
cording to Roger B. fancy of the tawny
heart, they certainly have no souls to be
saved, and baptism of their bodies is 9
solemn mockery. Ifnegroes are "chat
tells and beasts of burden, as vel
preach to and baptize cows and horses
plows and wagons, as these dusky BIZ
peds. We do not think such abolition
ism ought to go unrebuked BY the Cop
perhead and rebel organs. 1t may LEAD
to the salvation of negro souls, and ther
how could our Democratic saint:
enjoy Paradise, if compelled to associ
