The Daily News has an editorial on the peace
North cannot submit to the terms on which
jeff. Davis is prepared to treat for peace. 1t
argues that unless the Southern terms are les
sened there can be nothing but war
The London Times has an editorial on the
doings Of the Tallahassee, and says. "Though
we must acknowledge the energy and skill Of
the Confederate commanders, we can have no
sympathy with the particular kind of warfare
which they carry on
Looking upon it as aretaliation for the MANY
excuses and cruelties of the Federdls on land
we may excuse it, but the whole system is bar
barous, and 1t would be well if war could be
waged without such hateful dongs.
There is nothing more likely to weaken the
peace party OF the North than the story of these
captures, which must irritate the northern peo-
pie everywhere, it is told, and make enemies
of large number who have no sympathy with
Lincoln and his party.
The halfyearly drawing for the sinking fund
OF the Confederate loan took place on the 1st
Nearly one sixth part OF the loan has already
been redeemed. viz: f3i0, 900 sterling, by cot
ton, and fl3S, 900 by the sinking fund.
The Paris correspondent Of the Standard,
writing on the evening OF the LIST inst says the
report of the indisposition Of the Emperor Ma
poleon is not devoid Of foundation. His Males
letters from there say he followed the maneu-
vers OF the sham fight in his carriage mount
ing his horse only towards the close Of the pro-
ceedings.

Still Coming In.
Correspondence Associated Press.l
HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE POTOMAC,
Sept. 13.-Picket and artillery firing has been
kept up briskly since Saturday; the ire of the
rebels not seeming to have cooled off yet at
being surprised and losing SO many prisoners.
The result is that some five or six a day are
brought into the hospitals, the majority badly
wounded, ahd some few have died.
Yesterday large mortar opened on the right,
and threw number Of shells into Petersburg
with great precision.
A rebel sharpshooter this afternoon stole
across the Appomattox, and watching his
chance, shot one Of our men at battery. He
was soon discovered, and as he was making
his way back across the river, well directed
shot struck the boat, tearing it to pieces, an
it is supposed killing the occupant.
Deserters report that Lee announced to his
troops on Sunday that he would give the Yam
KEGS fourteen days to get away from here, but
he did not say what he would do Ii we refused
to leave. These men also represent matters to
be in bad way over there. They have been
living on short rations, and those of a poor
quality. The first thing they ask on reaching
camp is, Where are we to get rations2 We
were just going to draw them when we left"
Among the casualties In the Sd division, I'd
corps, since Sunday, by picket firing, are 1t.
George Ersler, Goth Pa, killed; 1t. BENJAMIN
F. Merehouse, 18th N. J., face; 1t. Joseph S.
Hobbs, 18th Maine, back; Sergeant p. Greedy,

TIRED OF THE SERVICE.

Among a batch Of rebel deserters brought
n Mt 10. cay from Harpers Ferry were Sc verai
April, 1861, in company recruited at Freder-
lex by Capt. George Chambers, of Harper's
Ferry. When asked why they deserted they
said they were tired of the service and wanted
to get back to "My Maryland" About year
ago Chambers was, these deserters say, dis
honorably dismissed the Confederate service
tor prolonged absence without leave, and
when last heard from he was lurking in the
vicinity of Staunton, Va, endeavoring to es-
cape the clutches of the conscripting officers,
who were upon his track. Chambers is a
printer by trade, and is well known in Balti-
more, where he was at one time employed on
one of the principal daily papers Of that city

FROM OITY POINT

The steamer Thos. A. Morgan, Capt. Edgar,
which takes the place Of the place Of the Die.
tator on the mail line while the latter is being
overhauled, arrived about noon to. day, from
City Point, with the mails and passengers.
She reports affairs unchanged at the front
Twelve OF the crew Of the steamer A. d. Vance,
captured few days since by the Santiago de
Cuba, while running out of Wilmington with
cargo Of cotton for England, came up on the
Morgan. They state that the Vance is a fine
vessel. and assert that had she good coal, and
been able to keep steam up, that there is not
vessel in our navy that could have captured
her. They estimate that in England the vessel
and cargo would be worth about fifty thousand
pounds. The Vance left Norfolk yesterday for
Boston, but broke down in the roads.

MAINE STATE ELECTION.
RuRAhAr II elHYmR

PORTLAND, Sept 13.-Ninety-five towns
give Cony LII, and Howard 1909, Union
majority OF 9, l6s; against last year IN the same
towns, Cony 29,95S, Bradbury 81, 636-maiority
then, $3.50; Union net gain, S36.
This vote includes little over four tenths of
the State, and the same relative gain will
amount to 2,0C0 in the whole State, making
Cony's total majority 1880 to 10000 against
1889 last year. Governor Hamlin's majority
in 1856 was 1892. This will consequently be
the largest gubernatorial majority ever thrown
in Maine.
The aggregate vote in these towns falls short
about 5000 indicating a falling OF in the
total vote of 1900; so that the aggregate vote
will be about 1i2,00O against $4,000 last year
ting soldiers to vote will be carried almost
Thirty six towns in the First Congressional
District give Lynch (UnionJ 1862; Sweat,
s736, against gubernational vote last year in
the same towns OF Cony 5000, and Bradbury
1O,S1S.
Lynch's majority thus far is 1,9j6, against
majority in the same towns last year of 1,222-
being net gain of 73. The fifteen towns not
heard from gave last year Union, 2,573; Demo-
cratic, 2,5S1, which would decrease Lynch's
as in the towns heard from would give him over
1900 majority.
Sweats plurality in these towns in 1862 was
SO, and in the W hole district 143.
The malorities in the other districts will be
increased largely. Perham, in the Second Dis
trict, will probably receive over 2,5OOmajority;
Blaine, in the Third District, over $500; Rice,
in the Fourth District, over 1850; and Pike,
in the Fifth District, about 1000 majority. In
Augusta they estimate Mr.. Blaine's majority at
4,5OO
The counties have all undoubtedly gone Re-
publican, electing their State Senators and
county officers.
The House Of Representatives will stand
about the same as last year, when it stood l2i
Union to 26 Opposition.
The gubernatoriaI vote, in 1860. which pre-
coded President Lincoln's election, stood: Re-
publican, 10000; Democratic, 52,350; straight
Wing and scattering, 1,755; being a Republican
majority Of Is, 925, some 1900 short OF the pro-
bable majority OF this vote.
AUGUSTA, ME, Sept A.-The returns from
1856 towns give Cony a majority of 1l,sls. II
the Union vote in the remainder Of the State Is
equal in proportion, Cony's majority will
reach 10000.
