The troops made an excellent appearance, and
afrer the review majority Of them returned to
the public meeting. t
at noon the Governor, Secretary and others
appeared upon the platform, which had been
tasteiully erected under two stalwart pines, on
the southeast corner Of the plaza. They were

public at this important hour in its history, and
upon the necessity Of carefully laying the founda-

were crowded with customers, and we will not
say how much whiskey was disposed Oft

boys waxed very merry, and some Of them very
tipsy, and there was no little promiscuous firing
of revolvers.

ments for the public demonstration They per-
formed their part faithfully and well.

Much has been said in the papers and much
ado made about the meeting of miserable set
of rebels and their sympathizers in Canada,
pretending that they wished to bring about q
peace between our government and the villains
in arms who have been trying to destroy the
government; and by some means Horace Gree
lev has mixed himself up in the business. But
the Presidents letter, ito all whom it may con-
Germ" stating on what terms he would consider
propositions of peace coming from those who
have control of the rebel armies, knocked the
whole thing in the head. Those fellows knew
that jeff Davis wants no peace but Oh his own
terms--recognzing the independence of the
Confederacy; and they knew also that his terms
can never be submitted to 10y us. If the rebels
want peace they can have it any day. Let then,
lay down their arms, disband their armies, so
home and yield obedience to the lawful govern
ment of the United States, and give up the con-
coctors and leaders of this infamous rebellion
to be dealt with as law and justice require, ard
peace viii follow as matter of course. The
whole thing is in their own hands. Our gov
eminent have no terms to offer, no compromi-
ses to make; unconditional surrender-that
and nothing less. So, gentlemen rebels, and
ye sympathizing copperheads, make up your
minds. Submission or death. Yield, or leave
your country "for your country's good" You
can't rule this country longer; you can't make
us all your slaves

SUMMARY OF NEWS.

1t is stated that the 9th corps and portion
of the 10Th have returned TO Washington The
9th pursued the raiders as far as Smokers Fer.
ry, and gave up the chase.
Gen VIM. +. Smith, who was relieved of the
command OF the 18th corps by 1t. Gen. Grant,
is said to have been offered command at the
West. The exact reason of his being relieved
is not known to US; probably there was some
difficulty between him and Gen. Butler, which
made it expedent to place him in command
somewhere else. Gen. Smith, so far as we
know, has shown himself capable and efficient
officer, and it is to be hoped that the army will
not long be deprived of his services.
Secretary Fessepden has issued proposals for
a loan of 5000, 900, 600 in treasury notes bear
ing interest at $40 per cent. in currency, and
convertible into long bonds paying per cent.
interest in gold. The notes to be issued in de-
nominations varying flom $50 to $4,000 We
trust his appeal to the people of the loyal States
will be promptly met, and that the money will
be Immediately furnished.
Grant and Sherman are surely though slowly

the people have the means to foot the bills
without asking aid from abroad. Let us show
that we can get along without any funds from
the people of those nations who have shown so
much sympathy with the rebels.
A destructive fire occurred at Springfield,
Mass, on Sunday morning last. Music Hall
and several other buildings were consumed
The total loss is estimated at $4,000; insur-
ance $4,000. 1t is supposed to lie the work
of ncendiares, and two men, James Malley
the proprietor of the.store where the fire began,
and Joseph II. Batly, an Ensishman who has
long lived in Springfield and is an excellent
gunsmith, are under arrest as the supposed
culprits.
Gen. Sherman has had several days of hard
fighting and met with severe losses, but he has
gained great advantages, having successfully
repulsed the attacks Of the enemy, killed and
wounded large numbers and driven them with
in their entertainments in the city of Atlanta, Q
part of which, if not the whole, being within
our grasp. He is sure to have that important
place in his possession very soon, if he has ii
not already. His success will have an impor-
tant bearing in crushing the rebellion.

SEQARS,

The Hartford Post says that owing 10 the
large tax upon tobacco and its manufacture,
several of the large firms in that city will stop
manufacturing. The raw material is taxed, the
buyer is taxed, the segar maker is taxed, and
the seller is taxed till in fact the poor segar
man has got "tox on the brain !" but the eli
max was reached on Tuesday, when they were
informed that the tax on segars made by them
would have TO be paid weekly.
If the tax imposed on the article of tobacco
in the various forms in which it IS used for
smoking and chewing, should have the effect to
prevent its cultivation, its manufacture and its
use, it would be one of the greatest blessings
that could be conferred on this country. The
amount consumed by our people is enormous.
The money paid for tobacco probably equals or
exceeds that paid for -four. Its drain upon the
purse, and still more upon the constitution, es-
pecaly of boys and young men, is fearful. One
rarely sees sadder sight than that os youth
with segar in his mouth, indicating as it does
premature imbecility Of body and mind, ignor-
ance of the laws Of health, a depraved taste,
and want of due regard to the decencies Of
life. But the boys can hardly be blamed when
the men set the example. Sons should be ten
derby rebuked when their fathers are guilty.
And how men calling themselves rational be-
ings, and brought up under the influences of a
Christian civilization, can be guilty of habit
so filthy and so disgusting, it is not easy to ex-
plain. Should our wives, our daughters and
our sweethearts commence the practice, we
should then be likely to perceive how odious
the habit is.
