Franklin thus wrote the words OF truth.

And Uncle sam, thluk. he too
Is rather dashiuS his way through.
Now, he who safely would progress.
Must step by step stig onward press;

making up party issue between the Lincoln
Administration and the copperheads. Having
nothing to lose, they we're willing to expert
ment upon President Lincoln. II he declined
to receive any proposition whatever, clamor
would at once be raised against him for pro-
longing the war unnecessarily. II be received
any proposition, and either did not accept, or
made counter proposition, then an issue
could be made on the two propositions, on
which the copperhead allies Of the rebels can
work up the Presidential campaign. And the
latter will probably be the result, The Pres
ident is ready for peace and reconstruction
on reasonable terms, provided a guaranty
against another slaveholders' rebellion can be
secured, by putting an end to slavery itself
The pretended rebel commissioners stick on
that point. and insist that all who are now
slaves are TO remain slaves, and the old doc
trine Of state rights e. the right Of a state
to maintain slavery, and to secede from the
Union when it pleases, is to be recognized.
They also insist that the United States shall
assume end pay the rebel debt Our guess

within one mile Of the city Of Petersburg.
Had fine view Of the whole city, and ptet-
ty one it is. Stood close by parrot gun
while it threw twenty shells into the very
heart Of tue city. With a large glass could
see where the shells struck, and see the men
dodge The guns were aimed at the tall
chimney Of the gas works. Two shells went
into the building, bringing up dense black
smoke others fell near and exploded in the
dit, throwing up clouds. could see citi-
zens in the streets plain with the glass. The
city is perfectly at the mercy Of our guns,
The rebels did not reply, except with minnie
balls They flew all around us the whole
time. 1t was great treat to me, assure
you, to stand on bluff one mile from, and
in plain sight Of Petersburg, and see the gum
ners load aud FIRE those big guns" at the

an impatient public to be long in producing
