THE NAVAL RgvIsoRY BoARD-The Naval
Board, now In session at Washington, acting
upon the cases Of officers who were not recon-
mended for promotion, has before 1t mat
ters Of the highest Importance, which demand
very peculiar discretion and judgment. 1t is
comp osed of high toned gentlemen and officers,
who, we trust, will do the utmost justice to all
who present themselves before it. We are Of
the opinion that it was not good taste in the
Navy Department to place on this Board any
officer who was q member Of Vie one which
starred" the officers in question. 1t was
hardly fair either to that member or to the
other officers on the Board.
The country at large, as well rs each in
dividual State, will look to Mr.. Lincoln, and
especially to Mr.. Welles, to- see that no old
prejudices or personal antipathies be allowed
to affect in any way the standing Of any officer
who goes before this Board. From official
records, as well as tho evidence Of competent
witnesses, some Of the officers who were, as
we believe, unfairly laid aside by the Advisory
Board two years ago, have proved themselves
not only competent to fulfil the duties required
Of them, but have performed deeds Of valor
which have made the country proud of them.
The remembrance Of this fact should make the
present Board additionally careful that those
who come before it shall receive the fullest
Justice.

INFORMATION FURNISHED Mayor Opdyke
wants to know who the proprietors of the
World are, and has put in claim for twenty
thousand dollars damages for an alleged libel
published in that paper. The proprietary his
tory of the World is chequered one. It was
started on a high strung religious and moral
basis; collapsed on that diet, and the lank and
ieshless bones Of the old gasping Courier and En-
Iuirer were thrown to IL as life sustaining NOR
.els. 1t subsequently went through course Of
Scotch behring's, London porter, linen trowsers
and straw hats under one Sandy Cummings, a
government contractor; then tried the India
rubber diet under one Comstock; ran up, as it
before had run down, the theatres and free con-
certs and for time was kept alive by
Jock Anderson, Fernando Wood and solacc
tobacco. Wood used it for time in 1862 as
mouthpiece and lobby swab. Anderson sold
his interest to his son-in-law, Judge Barnard
and it finally fell into the hands Of Sam Bar
low, smart politician; Elon Comstock, harm,
less representative of the celebrated Comstock
family, and q proprietor of the New York
Hotel, by whom it is now owned, in eonjunc-
ton with some others, with Mr.. Manton Marble
as the manager. II will be somewhat singu-
lar coincidence If the Opdyke libel case, If Il
ever come to trial, should be tried before
Judge Barnard, one Of the former owners Of
the World.

ENGLAND AND CANADA ALlRxEp.--There
seems to be quite hubbub in Canada respect
ing its relations with the United States, and
troops are being moved from one point and
massed at another, by order Of the British gov
eminent, with remarkable alacrity. Now, why
should Canada be thus alarmed, and why
should the British government manifest 50
much concern about Ks Canadian possessions,
just at this particular juncMre? We have made
no threats against Canada. We have furnished
no indications Of an intention to gobblc up
those ri9h and fertile regions; for that pear lie
not quite ripe, and ouf appetite lies not that
way at the present time. Does England feel
guilty Of having aided the rebel cause, and
especially for allowing Canada to be made the

1t is reported from Washington that Mr.. STAN

Immediately after the nomination Of the 6hi-
cago Convention is made, but whether with the
intention in any contingency Of supporting
that nomination is unknown. HE stauncheet
friends Of the President, since the late invasion,
do not hesitate to declare openly their convic-
,tions that the reelection of Mr.. Lincoln is i'm
possible unless Mr.. Stanton is got rid Of His
unpopularity and the odiousncss of his course
in The conduct Of the War Department, bis i'm
bec!lity and incficIency, as displayed in making
no preparation to repel the invading hordes
under Breckenridge, although he received
from General Grant, two weeks previous,
notice that it was to be made, and the fact,
which is becoming generally known, of his
attempts to thwart the measures Of the Lieu
tenant General, are daily increasing the odium
which attaches to him, and are more than any
administration can sustain before the people.
A vigorous effort is being made to open the
eyes OF the President TO these facts and induce
him to make such change in the War Depart
ment as shall bring its chief officer in accord
with the general who has been charged by
Congress, the President and the people with
the conduct OF military operations.

An EGuPTIoN OF PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AT
WASHINGTON, RICHMOND AND NIAGARA FAILS
Peace negotiations have again broken out, and
in three places Our readers have already
heard that that shufae-gaited peripatetic, old
Greeley has gone on peace mission to Niaga-
Ia, and that he has been preceded there by his
fellow laborers in the great cause Of dis
union George n. Sanders, Ben Wood, Val
landigham Colorado Jewett and imported
Jake Thompson. In another column will
be found an interesting account of their
movements, in which Colonel Hay, the private
Secretary of Mr.. Lincoln, figures prominently.
It now appears, on the authority Of pretty
general rumor, that there is peace correspond
ence in progress between Washington and
Richmond; that JEFF. Davis has sent PROPOSE
ton to Old Abe, and that Old Abe has sent
commissioner to JcG to talk the matter over.
Whether the matter began in the cool neighbour
hood Of Niagara, in the contemplation Of nature
and the pursuit Of piscatorial pleasures, and SO
spread to Washington and Richmond or whe-
ther it began at the frugal table Of the mighty
JEFF, and SO went to Niagara, and thence to
Washington, is nice point that we will have
to leave to old Greeley, little Raymond and
the other historians. But it is an alarming fact
that this peace question is mooted at three
points. The great apostle Of peace was put
out or stopped up just before Congress adj
journed-Fernando was squelched- now
we have the result of it. These internal fires
must have vent, and when they are burning
harmlessly, as they did in Fernando, it is best
to leave them alone. Having stopped up the
peace crater in Congress, the trouble has now
broken ont in three dangerous places, and 1t
will be wonderful if more harm is not done by
these three than was by the original one

Washington; George N. Sanders. OF anywhere,
and Horace Greeley, Of the New YORK Tribune,
In consultation at the Clifton House on matters
which. If known, might do little less than start
the world from its axis. Sanders was Greeleys
correspondent at Montgomery, Ala, the rebel
capital, at the breaking out Of the rebellion,
and the twain may have had mutual interest
in the huge army contracts the indefatigable
Sanders then secured from the then inchoate
rebel government. What cause for alarm to
Canada or England is there in the fact that two
such worthy confreres should meet and sozzle
over their brandy and water on the breezy
piazzas Of the Clifton! None at all. 1t is but
the twitchings Of the uneasy and guilty con-
science Of the British government that spurs 1t
