''The establishment of this Confederacy is veri-
ly distinct reaction against the whole course
Of the mistaken civilization of the age. For
Liberty, Equality, FraterHity,' we have deli6-
eretaty substituted Sldeery, SubordiRGtioa and
Government. Those social and political prob
lens which rack and torture modern society we
have undertaken to solve for ourselves, in our
own way, and upon our own principles. That
among equals equality is right among those
who are not naturally equal, equality is chaos;
that there are slave races born 10 serre, master
races born TO gorern. Such are the fundamental
principles which we inherit from the ancient
world; which we lifted up in the face of per-
verse generation that has forgotten the Wisdom
of its fathers; by those principles zoe lire, and
an their defence ice hare sh0irn ourselves ready

Rebel Terms of Peace.

''Save 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 the enemy of theindepcndence
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 Confederacy.
Consent on the part Of the Federal Govern
ment to give up to the Confederacy its proper
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 OF
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 accruing from foreign treat
les.
These provisions, We apprehend, comprise the
minimum OF what We must require 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 force ths
scnsration of the States ms, ~ % lorGe .hs

Eight to Sixteen.

Lord Shaftesbury recently stated, in apublic
meeting in London, that from personal obser-
vation he had ascertained that OF adult male
criminals of that city nearly all had fallen in
to course OF crime between the ages OF
eight and sixteen years; and that If a young
man lived an honest life up TO twenty years OF
age, there were forty-nine chances in favor
and only one against him as to an honorable
life thereafter.
This is fact of singular Importance TO
fathers and mothers, and shows a fearful re-
spohsioiilty Certainly, a parent should Sc
cure and exercise absolute control over the
child under sixteen. II cannot be difficult
matter to do this, except in very rare cases
and II that control is not very wisely and efii-
GENTLY exercised, it must be the parents fault
II Is owing TO the parental neglect or remiss.
ness Hence the real source of ninety-eight
per cent of the real crime In country such
as England or the United States, lies at the
door OF the parents. II Is fearful reflection

We throw it before the minds of the fathers
and mothers of our land, and there leave it to
be thought of in wisdom, remarking only as to
the early seeds of bodily disease, that they are
in nearly every case, sown between sundown
and bedtime, in absence from the family circle ;
in the supply of spending money never earned
by the spender-opening the doors of confee-
tionaries and soda fountains, of beer, and to-
bacco, and wine shops, of the circus, the ne
gro minstrels, the restaurant, and dance; then
follow the Sunday excursion, the Sunday
drive, with the easy transition to the compa-
ny OF those whose ways lead to the gates of
social, physical, and moral ruin. From eight

newed attempts to subdue the South. .
A war of invasion of the North, will suspend
their wages; their daily pay as soldiers, in green
backs, will amount to nothing. The
North will not rise to defend itself; but the mass
es will cry aloud for peace For no matter who
conquers, no matter what the terms of peace
peace will give them employment-without
which they cannot live. The Federal Govern
ment is bankrupt, and has no means left where
with to feed and eothe its soldiers and their fam
lies. 1t is not, on the whole, at all improbable
that we may this Fall invade the North, and on
her soil dictate the terms of peace At all events,
it is worth trying. The North is just about to
become bankrupt in men and in means, and now
is the time to push her to the wall. just ret
ribution demands that we retaliate on her the
cruelties she has inflicted ON us."-l Richmond
