PEAcE RUsoRs.-Rumop have been rife for
the last two weeks that Gov Brown, Of Georgia,
had opened negotiations with Gen. sherman, in
order to ascertain upon what terms Georgia
could be restored to the Union. These reports
doubtless have no better foundation than the
fact Of Browns Withdrawing the State militia
from Hoods army. But whether true or false,
our government could not be bet ter represented
in the. negotiation than by Gen. Sherman, who
has just given the Mayor OF Atlann the basls
on which he will negotiate for peace lie says
." We do want and will have just obedience to
the law. Of the United States" -" The only
way the people of Atlanta can hope once more
to live in peace and quiet at home, isto stop
this war, which alone can be done by admitting
that it began in error, and is perpetuated in
pride" When Gov. Brown and the people of
Georgia agree to these prellminaries, peace
will visit their borders and Gen. Sherman says
it will not come till then.

The N. Y. Herald, in reviewing the Pres

Mcclellan has proved a failure in that
supreme necessity of war-success. His
military record-no matter what may be
the excuses. for it-has been one of the
results in no degree adequate to the means
at his command.
In his public life, he has been failure of
no common magnitude. He failed to cap
trIre Richmond no matter how or why.-
He failed to retain the confidence with
which the Government, wholly irrespective
of party, regarded him on his first access
ion to eminent power. And finally, as
perhaps the cause of all his other troubles,
he has failed to discriminate between the
applause of acoterie, and that course which
would insure for him the approval and sup
port of the public Judgment. i'i1h
