TIE DEFENcEs OF WAsuINGToN-In
view Of the neet annual invasion of the
North, we give the following descrip-
tons Of Washington and its defences
on that side, it being always the OBJ
iective point of the rebel raid, and at
the last moment being always in want
Of defenders.
In Washington tho streets named
by numbers run north and south. The
Capitol and the White House arc q
mile and quarter apart. First street
runs north and south from the Capitol
grounds. Seventeenth street runs
north and south from the White
House. Georgetown is two miles
north of Washington. Tenallytown is
u mile or two north of Georgetown
Bladensburg is six miles northeast of
Washington.
From the Potomac, Just above
Georgetown, around to Bladensburg,
is the line of defensive forts. One or
two detached works are built beyond
this line about a mile to the right of
the Baltimore Railroad for its protec-
ton. The line Of forts crosses every
one of the streets running north and
south. The works are separated from
each other, without any continuous
line of rifle pits connecting them, and
with no abatis in front Their long
disuse, from the safety of the city, has
caused them to be somewhat neglect
ed. Some have guns mounted upon
thom; others not. Unless the force
of truth in Washington is very large,
mono of them have adequate garri-
sons.

TIC Peace Prorramu.o. "

In. course of the irregular and somewhat
farcical peace negotiations at Niagara, il
seems to have been let out, by those who
assumed to act for Davis & Co., that the
terms upon which they desire 10 re-enter
the Union are about these: First, slaves
freed by the war to remain free second,
slaves held in bondage 70 remain SO;
third, the rebel debt to be paid BY the
United States; fourth, the rebel States to
be restored with all their State rights sc-
cording to their own theory of them and
under this was still another condition not
not expressed. but understood, in refer
ence to the Territories is, that the
principles of the Kansas Nebraska hin
should be applied to them. Now let Us
suppose for moment that for the sake Of
peace a treaty had been made on this ba-
sis, and that the war was ended. The
first position would have large freed
black population in the slave Ststes, whose
constitutions and laws would immediately
authorize them to be seized and sold
again, or else these freed blacks would be
sent North, because under the State laws
they could not remain south. In other
words, this first proposition would fail to
secure the freedom Of any slave freed by
the war, unless he should leave the South
and 20 North or West. Again, even sup
posing tina, all the slaves freed By the war
should remain free. the second proposition
wouldskeep in bondoge the wives, parents.
children and relatives of most Of the freed
blacks in our army and ell the unfortu-
nate blacks who have been taken prisoners
from our army and sold into slavery would
be by this second proposition abandoned
to their fate. The third proposition would
add to the existing debt Of the United
States about $4,000, 900, 900. For half
this amount we could finish the war VIC
toriously without treaty, crush out
slavery and rebellion, punish the rebel
leaders, abolish the southern slave codes,
establish freedom throughout the South,
and defy all future efforts to foment civil
war in this republic. For the sake Of
temporary peace (for any such arrange
ment as that above proposed would. Of
course, be only temporary we are, there
fore, asked to more than double our pres
ent debt, confirm slavery forever, rivet
bondage hopelessly upon the most fertile
States in the Union, and leave uncured
the enormous evils which this war should
have provided remedy for. The fourth
proposition is the key to the whole mis-
chief. 1t perpetuates the slave constitu.
tons and codes, restores the tyranny Of
the slave oligarchy, and brings them back
to their old seats of power.--&. JosPh

CoPPBRHEAD SYNPATHY.-We clip the
following from an article in the cincin-
matt Enquirer, and republished In the Es-
press: "Southern /" SympathiEers ~ Il
never seems to have occurred TO them
that It is possible for person to be for
ending the war and for recognition Of tie
Southern Confederacy, because both mea-
sures are demanded BY the interests Of the
North. And it may be that it d sympa-
thy for the North that induces Z desire
to end this terrible struggle" That comes
,pretty near saying: "Let US stop the
war and acknowledge the Southefn Con-
fedeacy." But if these Copperhelds are
not frank enough to say it. We arc ffank
enough 70 say they mean it. But let that
pass, About this. " Democratic sympa-
thy" It consists merely in hatred TO the
negro. and q desire for Office. Their
" sympathy" is stronger for . fat Office
than anything else. II to be obhined BY
preaching war or peace, il Il all the sAme
to these place hunters. But they are
committed to peace and they must preach
peace though they probably think that
sooner or later their peace principle party
will triumph at the polls, and then will
come Office and spoils. The Coppsfheads
undoubtedly have great sympathy for
their Secession brothers, but that Sympa-
is not half so strong Is their sympathy for
