TAXING STOCK on HAND.
The statement telegrsphed to certain pk-

The Peace RumOrs.

A special dispatch from Washington to
the New York Times, in conclusion, says
GYou may rest assured tina. all the reports
attributing to the Government any move
ments looking toward negotiations for
peace at present, are utterly without
foundation. There has been nobody at
Niagara representing the Government, or
in any way expressing its opinions, con-
cerned in any negotiations or conversa-
tions with the rebel emissaries on the SUBJ
ject of peace. The Government has not
entertained or discussed the project Of
proposing an armistice with the rebels !;
nor has it any intention of sending Com
missioners to Richmond for the purpose
of Offering or soliciting terms of peace, or
of negotiating with the rebel authori ties
on that or any other subject. Its sole and
undivided purpose is to prosecute the war
until the rebellion is quelled. But If any
body doubts its willingness to make peace
whenever the rebels will lay down their
arms and return to the Union, let him
produce any proposition from the rebel
authorities to that effect, or any evidence
that they are desirous of ending the war
on those terms, and he will then be IN
condition to test the purpose and disposi-
ton of the Government on that point
He will fnd no difficulty or delay In de-
fning the Presidents position on that
subject"
Another dispatch to the same paper,
from Washington, says: "a gentleman
has arrived in this city from Georgia, who
came by way of Atlanta, with permission
of General Sherman, and who represents
that State Government. He desires to
learn upon what basis the United States
Government will treat with the State Of
Georgia for readmission into the Union.
This action of the Georgia authorities Is
had without reference to the balance OF
the Southern ConieGeracy."
1t appears from Richmond papers that
the same rumors relative to the appoint
ment Of Peace Commissioners prevail in
the South as here. The Richmond SEN
tt.l,eE of Wednesday states that there was
considerable excitement in that city on
Sunday last, at the Petersburg depot, on
the arrival OF the train from that place, 1t
having been rumored that Peace Commis-
sicners, appointed by Lincoln, were ex-
pected to arrive. The crowd that gather
ed at the depot looked upon every we'll
dressed man carrying carpet sack as a
Peace Commissioner. The reporter OF
the Sentinel says, judging from the num-
Der of that class Of persons who came on
the train, there were about twenty-five.

Confederate and COpperAead
Alliance Confessed.

The following extract from the Rich
mond EIanli"er of August 9Th, Is preg-
nant with meaning:
However, if we have not the exciting
scene of an election at home, there is some
compensation in watching the movements
of the campaign in the country to the
north ]. is, in truth, thousand times
more interesting even to Us, than any cleo
ton here at home could be, because the
question of war and peace depends much
more upon the former than upon the lat
ter. 1t is the Yankee nation which max es
the war, and which must end it. If in
this election they pronounce themselves
for peace, then peace 1t is If their voice
is still for war, then We have no choice
but to indulge them. 1t is singular 10
remark that these States nave not only a
profound interest in that foreign election,
(though without votes to influence 1t, J
but are exercising a most controlling pow
er in deciding it. They also are fighting
in the YaRkee Presidential campaign,
after their own manner. If Grant is en-
gineering fer Lincoln's reelection on the
Chickahominy and Appomattox, while
Sherman is logroiling for him about At
l20ta, on the Orner manu-, VIC TeParu Oell
Lee as a pipelayer for the Democratic
Convention in Chicago; and Gen. Early,
it is said, has gone over to stump the
States of Maryland and Pennsylvania for
the peace party. A certain war politician
named Hunter had engagements to meet
Early on the stump, but it is feared he
will back out Of them; and there Is prob
ably nothing to prevent our eloquent ad-
vocate of peace from sweeping those
States"
''Early is stumping the States of Mary
land and Pennsylvania for the Peace par
ty," says the Richmond Ecanliner The
loyal men Of these States viii not lose
signt of this frank avowal. They will
naturally desire TO know whether the in
vasion has been made in concert with the
Copperhead leaders whether their fields
are being laid waste, their houses burned
down, aud their families driven forth to
beg or perish, by the advice OF the domes-
tic traitors who style themselves "Peace
Democrats"

A Great victory by Grant.

Lee has done the only thing that was
left for him to do, and failed. Grant
having occupied position south of Pc
tersburg which completely cut off one of
the two roads leading from Richmond, and
placed the other in striking distance, Lee
was compelled to come out and fight him,
his only hope being that he might drive
Grant back and repossess the Southern
outlets irom Richmond. Not in tue Who'll e
course of the war has there been battle
fought when the rebels had so much at
stake as on Thursday; and the fact that
after repeated assaults Lees army fell
pack, leaving his dead and wounded in
our possession, proves conclusively the
character of the contest and the result.
Both sides lost heavily, but Gen. Grant
expresses the opinion that the enemy re-
ceived blow which he "cannot stand"
He very seldom ventures an opinion, and
never has he given utterance to one more
gratifying to the country than this.
But the greatest loss to the rebels is the
Weldon Railroad, in connection with the
fact that our forces are already menaciEg
the Danville road. Itwas only a few days
since that Richmond paper admitted
that when Grant held one road and threat
ened the other, the rebel capital would
really be besieged.
The present situation could not be bet
ter described. BY a masterly stroke, and
a persistency truly sublime, the Lieuten-
ant General has finally laid close siege to
Richmond, and brought near the moment
when he will redeem his promise to the
country to capture the rebel capital.

We hope the "people OF Cambria coun-

mass convention. We hope they may en-
JOY themselves. Not having had the
pleasure of attending one of their pow
vows since last fall, we look for the ad-
vent of "the 18th day of September" with
the same degree of impatience and with
about the same emotions that Juvenile
looks for the advent Of "show day" or a

plenitude of their wisdom, succeed in de-
vising ways and means to extricate US
from the difficulties surrounding US as a
nation, they will merit our warm thanks.
We shall see whether they do or do not.

A Meeting.

The filling up Of our armies being a
matter of little account, and the draft a
secondary consideration, the Chairman OF
the Democratic County Committee of
Cambria county has issued call for &
Mass Meeting of the Democracy. The
document reads as follows:
"The people of Cambria county, who are
opposed to the 6espotic and tyrannical admin
istration of Abraham Lincoln
And who don't see anything particular.

Chaf wherewith to catch silly birds:
-"and who desire an honorable peace,
based upon fair, just and constitutional ad-
iustment of our National difficulties, without
further drafts or more blood3hed'-
JEFF. Davis, who ought to be reasonably
good authority, says this war mast go on
until either "independence' or "exteruin-
alton" is vouchsafed the South-which
horn of this dilemma do the Democracy
propose to hang on to?
-"are requested to meet in mass convention
in the borough of Ebensburg, on TUESDAY
the 18th day of SEPTEMBER next, at one o.
clock, P. NJ, to give expression to their hos
tility to the outrages which have been perpe-
trated uDOn free peOple"-
This, of course, refers to "outrages'
perpetrated upon the Stree people" of the
South:
land their contempt for Administration
which refuses to entertain propositions of
peace unless slavery be abandoned"
The South acknowledge that slavery
is practically dead, and avow that the war
on their part is waged not for the purpose
of its resuseitation. So that, abandoning
slavery, they make no very great conces-
sion toward the restoration OF peace.
