Rebel Terms of Peace.

''Saye on our own terms we can accept no
peace whatever, and must fight till doomsday
rather than yield an iota of them, and our terms
are:
Recognition BY theenemy of theindependence
OF the Confederate States.
Withdrawal of the Yankee forces from every
foot of Confederate ground, including Kentucky
and Missouri
Withdrawal of the Yankee soldiers from Mary
land until that State shall decide by free vote
whether she shall remain in the old Union or ask
admission into the eonfederacy:
Consent on the part Of the Federal Govern
ment to give up TO the Confederacy its propor-
ton Of the navy as il stood at the time of seces-
sion, or to pay for the same.
Yielding up of all pretension on the part or
the Federal Government to that portion OF the
old Territories which lies west of the Confeder-
ate States
An equitable settlement on the basis of our
absolute independence and equal rights, OF all
accounts OF the public debt and public lands,
and the advantages aecruing from foreign treat
les.
THESE provisions, we apprehend, comprise the
minimum OF what we must renuire before we
lay down our arms. That is to say, the North
must yield ALIVE nothing. The whole pre-
tension of that country to prevent nv fore. the
separation of the States must be abandoned.
which will be equivalent to an avowal that our
enemies were wrong from the FIRST and of
course, as they waged causeless and wicked
war upon US, they ought in strict justice to be
required, according to usage in such cases, TO re-
imburse to us the whole of our expenses and
losses in the course of that war. Once
more we say it is all or nothing. This Confeder
acy or the Yankee nation, one or other, goe
down, down to perdition. That's to say, one o.
the other must forfeit its national existence am
lie at the mercy of its mortal enemy. - Rich

faint and nearly spent. The very thought of

an alluring charm. He hesitates and looks
back. The thought strikes him that II he

The Auburn Advertiser of Saturday has
the following The Sabbath School children
OF Fleming and one or two adjoining towns
went to Savannah, yesterday, on picnic ex-
cursion. They carried banners with notices.
In passing through small village on the
route, Il copperhead standing in crowd read
aloud from one Of the banners-"0bedience
to God-Death to all Traitors" and immedi-
ately exclaimed: "to hell with your Republ-
canism." The man probably thought that the
Democratic creed did not recognize any such
principles as that contained on the banner,
and that therefore the picnic party must be
made up Of Republican children.
