We do not shut our eyes to the obvious fact
attested by all history, that war like this cam
not be closed, except by mutual forbearance
and mutual concessions. We expect su ch con-
cessions would attend an adjustment-nor would
they change the basis of peace, which we have
considered. While the present Constitution
would be as now, the charter the government,
the States in Convention assembled, would per-
haps in spirit of conciliaton, superadd guaran-
tees to each and every State of the faithful OBJ
servance in the future of its provisions. These
might be freely and generously conceded. What,
in this respect would be demanded or what
ought to be conceded, it would be useless now to
discuss. Of one thing we are quite certain
with an Administration in power willing to
make peace on the simple basis of the Constitu-
ton-if there be cessation of hostilities, un-
til the delegates of the several States can meet
each other face to face in a National Convention
the sword will not be again drawn, and our
difficulties will be adjusted.

The United States transport Gen. Sedgoick lay
off Long Wharf yesterday afternoon when the sa-
Lutte in honor of McClellan's nomination was be-
ing fred with some six hundred soldiers on
board bound ''to the front" As the first gun
echoed over the bay, one of the soldiers hailed
boat to know "what the firing was for ?" On
being told, he threw his cap into the air, and
ute he surrounded by his comrades, when
call was made for "three more," and ''three
more, =" and still ''three more"

reponse of Massachusetts to the call for give

The RICHMOND MovEMENT.-Thei i'm
mense scare in Richmond over the near
approach Of Gen. Buffers forces, last
Saturday and Sunday, suggests what
may possibly be accomplished there yet.
1t would seem that but for an unlucky
leakage of the purpose of the expedi-
ton, it really would have dashed into
Richmond, and in all probability releas-
ed our prisoners and captured many on
the other side. The terror of the rebel
capital sufficiently marks the danger to
which it was exposed. We fear that so
long as Gen. Butler is on Virginia soil
the conspirators at Richmond will never
come SO near being caught mapping
again. But the troops that they re-
tain there cannot be available anywhere
else, SO that something will have been
gained by this demonstration. But we
may rely upon it that the boldness that
devised this expedition, and the energy
that SO nearly made it success, will
not go to sleep in the future so long as
there are other plans to be tried. a

whisky i'm Congress.

a. An immense pressure has been
brought to bear upon the Committee by
the large whisky holders throughout
the country, but it is not right TO sus-
pect that Senators of the character OF
the members of this Committee have
been influenced by any other motives
than the welfare of the country"
or course sit is not right" TO suppose
that "an immense pressure" would have
any effect upon Senators, but the fact
that the pressure" has been to some
purpose, is tolerably apparent from the
result, and it is not quite easy to get rid
OF the suspicion after all.
1t is clearly absolutely just and right
to make whiskey on hand pay the same
tax as that to be manufactured, Those
holding it will, as soon as the tax is
laid, advance their prices the full
amount of the tax, whether they have
to pay it or not, and they would not
therefore, suffer by it, except by losing
the opportunity of pocketing three mil
lions in profits at the expense of the ma
tional Treasury. But these dealers can
afford to spend money literally to defeat
the House amendment, and will do so,
and will, we fear, succeed at last. We
hope to see the yeas and nays on il, how
ever both in the Senate and House, to
ascertain who from Vermont has sue
cumbed under this Immense pressure"

Ladies' Fair for the Benefit Of Our
Soldiers.
HYpEyILLs, Feb. 10, 1864

HYpEvLLE, Feb. TO- 1864.
Editor Ratland Herald = The Ladies
of Fairhaven are doing noble work
for our brave Volunteers, who are labor
ing and suffering on behalf of our inn
periled country, Last Tuesday evening,
under their auspices, festival was held
at the Town Hall, Fairhayen, which was
both pleasant and preftable.
The contributions consisted in Tab
leauX Vlyants, OF rare excellence, an
amusing Pantomine, and excellent Vocal
and Instrumental Music.
1t would be invidious to particular
ize any of the performances, all were so
well conceived, and admirably executed.
The proceeds, amounting to one hun
bred dollars, are to be devoted to the
purchase of materials to be made into
hospital comforts. There is one fact of
which this is an illustration, viz; That
the young people of Fairhaven will ac-
complish any benevolent enterprise that
they undertake.
The movement for the establishment
of a National Bank in the village of
Fairhaven is very popular, and, almost
all the shares having been taken, it is
presumable that the institution will be
fairly inaugurated within a very short
time. j. HENRY GILES.

The CHANGE IN EURoPE.-The Paris
correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri-
can, speaking of the change going on in
that city favorable to the North, says:
81 was greatly struck the other day
by what heard from an eminent finan-
cier and capitalist recently come from
Germany, Of the manifestation of the
same feelings of profound confidence in
the cause Of the North which prevailed
on the other side of the Rhine. Many
of the wealthiest and ablest monied men
in that country, he assured me, were di-
recting all their views and enterprises
toward American securities. American
stock of every description, and especial
ly Government stock, was being largely
dealt in, and was in the greatest de
mand. There were large and infiuen-
ttial houses named to me who now con-
fined tSSeir business operations almost
exclusively to transatlantic transac-
lions. No better evidence could possibly
be desired Of the public convictions, nor
OF the favorable tide which is now car
rying on the affairs OF the North to their
final and inevitable issue.

JAMES b. CLAY AND HIS SLAyRs.-The
late James B. Clay, like most wealthy
Shareholders, was very fond of Boosting
of the attachment and devotion OF his
bondmen to himself Not only were his
slaves well fed and well housed, but
they were far happier than free people
and knew and appreciated the inestima-
BILE advant ges of their position. They
did not want freedom, and wouldn't take
it on any terms. All they asked was to
live on the old plantation, and to end
their days under the easy yoke Of Mas
sa" Clay.
Once upon time, some two or three
years ago. Mr.. Clay had Quaker friend
from the North visiting him, and to
whom he expressed his usual confidence
in the attachment Of his slaves. The
Quaker was incredulous, and so Clay
vauntingly determined to put the matter
to the test.
An old house slave, one who always
enjoyed his confidence, who had been
always well treated, and who seemed
to entertain a real affection for his
master, was called, and entered the
room.
Tom" said Mr.. Clay, here's
gentleman from the North, who says
you and the other boys are misera-
BILE here, and wish to be free. You may
go away from home with him if you
like" .-... -.N
The old negro was puzzled and al
most scared. He shook his head doubt
ingly
You are free Tom, and can leave
me if you wish to" said the master.
The negro trembled with emotion. At
last, all excitement, he cried:
care you in earnest, massa Can /
go North and be free ?'
Yes, if you wish to leave me and
your old home, you can 60"
=" I'll 60 massa. I'll 60 anywhere TO
be free"
The old fellow was beside himself with
joy and gratitude at his unexpected lib
Grafton
This was not, however, what the
Shareholder wanted or expected He be-
came very angry, ordered the poor, cred
ulous slave away, and soon made his
Northern friend aware that his room
was better than his company. OF course
Tom was never freed, but it is probable
that Mr.. Clay was thenceforth less as
sured of the affection of his negroes for
slave life-P0Sf a..s .7.H

Railroad Accident-News from
Chattanooga,
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.

''hchtNo1CNt req. o.
At twelve o'clock to- day a train of
cars going into Virginia was precipi-
tated into the Potomac, owing to the
draw of the long bridge being open, but
was unperceived by the engineer. The
cars were loaded with lumber. Several
persons had their limbs fractured, and 1t
Is supposed the engineer was drowned.
Private information direct from Chat
tanooga is to the effect that several DAYS
ago, though there was force at Dali
ton, the main body of the rebel army was
at Rome, Georgia, under Johnston. The
latter facts accounted for on the ground
either that the enemy were forced to GO
TO Rome for convenience to their sup
plies, or to prevent assertions, between
5000 and 5000 men having come into
our lines since the battle at Missionary
Ridge. There is no such alarm at Chat
tanooga about the safety of our troops in
the neighborhood of Knoxville as seems
to prevail elsewhere, and many of the
published accounts to that effect are
characterized as exaggerations. The
courier line between Chattanooga and
knoxville was uninterrupted.
