q Mansfeld's Dispeneatory says that
most of the Sarsaparilla of the shops is inert
and worthless. DR.. Aver, in his writings
on this drug states that not only is it inert
as found in tie shops, but so also are most
of the preparations from it, or bearing its
name. He shows, however, that this fact
arises from the use of worthless varieties, or
unskillful preparations by incompetent men;
that the true Medicinal Sarsaparrilla (Sarze

Lincoln and Peace.

We wish our readers to bear in mind
the conduct Of our worthy President in
endeavoring to close the door against any
negotiations for peace, or a return to the
Union. Mr.. Clay, a Senator, and Mr..
Holcomb, Representative from the
Southern Congress, men who stand as
high as any men either North or South
for integrity and ability, accredited by
their own Government, went to Niagara
Falls and opened correspondence with
Horace Greeley and MIR. Hay, the pri-
vate Secretary of the President, with a
view to make negotiations for peace.
They gave programme to base these
negotiations on, and gave assurances that
their government would be satisfied with
it.
First-All negroes which have been
actually freed by the war, to be secured
in such freeeom.
Second-All negroes at present held as
| slaves to remain So
Third-Ihe war debt Of both parties
to be paid by the United States,
Four.h-The old doctrine OF State
rights to be- recognized in reconstructing
the Union.
| Here was tender. of negotiations
which any man who loves his country,
would gladly embrace with heart thank
! tul to God for the dawning beams of
peace. What did that foolish, wicked
old man say to these propositions lie

school boy, making the abolition of slavery

first done, they could get no audience
| from Mir. Lincoln or his advisers We
all knew, at least the Democratic party
knew, that tn 5 was the war policy of
the administration, but it was strenuously
denied by the Republican party. Now
we have i! on paper, under the signature
Of this great man. We are to have per-
petual war among the white races Of the
country, until the poor negro shall be clc-
waited above Us. These are the terms on
which peace and Union can be restored

ereign people will not stand by him much
longer, he has abused their patience be-

him till the election, but certainly no lon

been since the days of the elder Adams
or Aaron Burr, and awaiting the first op
portunity to hurl him from that elevation
which he so shamfully and discraccfullv
abused If they were once through with
this creature, they certainly would not
put another clown like him to run the

they would keep themselves in a position

negroes and foreigners to fight their battles,
and that they should live distinguished in

There have been mysterious rumors Of

Of Gen. Butler last evening is regarded as
significant In some quarters. There is re-
ally something on foot. The movements
of Sherman's army Is supposed to have
something to do with it. The story runs as
follows:
Some time since there was secret con-
clavs in Macon, of leading men Of Georgia.

Stevens, and an ambassador was sent to
Washington. This gentleman was author

Would secede from the Oonfederaey fisher
man would march through Georgia and
take possession of Charleston and SaTan-
nah. The response of Mr. Lincoln to this
request about three weeks since was that
he was not quite ready, but would do it
after the election. II is cohteuded this is
the real secret of Sherman's movements,
and that it is done with view of not only
bringing back Georgia, but also North
Carolina and Alabama.
In connection with this it was rumored
on the street this evening, that Augusta
had been captured.

G6-CITY OouNoILs.-A meeting of the
City Councils was held at the Council
Chambers last evening.
The Committee on Police made report
authorizing the City Sergeant to employ
seven additional deputy sergeants on the
same terms upon which the present depu-
ties are now employed by the city. The
report ELECTED some discussion, during
which it was stated that the City Sergeant
had expressed the opinion that with the
additional force asked for he could preserve
the peace aud good order of the city both
night and day.
Sergeant Britt, by permission, stated
that in consequence of the increased num-
Der of soldiers arriving in the city, and
being mustered out, of the service the
peace of the city could not be preserved as
it ought to be.
Mr.. Wilson thought the apprehensions
of the Sergeant were groundless.
Several members spoke for and against
the recommendation Of the committee,
which was finally laid on the table.
The report of the Committee on Accounts
was read and the accounts ordered to be
paid.
The Committee on Accounts reported
that after due consideration they had
concluded to grant the petition of the First
National Bank asking the privilege of dig
ging privy in the alley west of their
building. In connection with this subject,
Mr.. ShaIIcross, at the last meeting, intro
duced a resolution censuring Mr.. BodleY,
chairman, for granting the privilege with
out summoning the Committee on Streets
aud Alleys. Upon this resolution the COM
mittee made no report, although it was
referred to them for action.
After considerable discussion the report
of the committee was laid on the table.
Mr.. Shallcross then moved the adoption
of his resolution, but withdrew the motion
in order that more urgent business might
be proceeded with.
On motion of Mr.. Hildreth, A. ]. Swee-
ney or his alternate, 2. Jacob, WAS sp-

Movements of Sherman and Hood

Movements of Sherman and Hood.
Nav YORK, Nov. l5-The Herald has q
sketch of the movements of Sherman and
Hood since September, when Hood COM
menced his flank movement:
By November, says the Herald, the Ar
my of Tennessee had left Tennessee, en-
route for Atlanta. On November 4th, the
9Th, l4th, 18th, 10th, 18th and 9th corps
had been concentrated at the last named
city. Sherman was in the highest spirits,
and telegraphed his intentions in these re-
markable words:
"Hood has crossed the Tennessee river.
Thomas will take care of him and Nash
vile, while Schofeld will not let him into
Chattanooga or Knoxville. Georgia and
South Carolina are at my mercy. 1 shall
strike. Do not be anxious about mel
am all right"
This was his adieu. Rebel papers all
ready announce that he has started on his
march. Where is he going2 To Ander-
sonville. where the rebels have 80, 900
Union prisoners penned mp like hogs.
But a few days since Gen. Sherman
wrote to the President of the st. Louis
SAINT ry Commission; ~ thank you for
the prompt filling of acquisitions sent for
certain articles for our prisoners at An
Jacksonville. Things have changed since,
and may have to go in person to deliver
these articles to the prisoners"

day before the election, the subject of the
release Of the prisoners was discussed, and
Walsh, Geary and Patton stated that there
were plenty of arms in the city for all Of
the Order. Two rendezvous for distribu-
ton of arms were indicated, one of which
was the InVincible Club room. At this
meeting Jackson discovered that the OBJ
jects of the organisation we're reasonable,
and he determined to expose it, bat the
military arrests made the same day, he
thought, rendered it unnecessary.
