The Ten,per of the soutl,.

Dispatches from Baltimore gives a synopsis
of an address issued by the members of the
Confederate Congress. upon the adjournment
of that body until May. We append an ex-
tract from the address !:
Until some evidence is giSen of o change
of policy IN the part of the Yankee govern
ment, aud some assurance received that efforts
at negotiations will not be spared, Congress are
eli opinion that any direct overture for peace
would compromise our self-respect, be fruit
less of good and interpreted by the enemy as
Indicative OF weakness. We can only repeat
the desire Of the people for peace, and our
readiness 10 accept terms consistent with the
honor and integrity of the States and conpat-
able with the safety of our domestic %institu-
tutions.'
IF the above is q fair Indication of the tenn.
rer Of the address in its discussion of the
terms of peace, it may be considered as a dec
~laration of the willingness of the Confederate
Congress TO restore the Union as it Bas"11f
the Independents of the Confederacy was ac-
knoulodged, it of course would not require us
to give guarantees for "the safety of its domes
tic institutions" IF tie South should be off
cred the constitution as the basis of peace,
the war would be virtually closed. She is
offered conGscation, emancipation, subjugation,
State degradation, ard 0eeapitation of the
heads of her most eminent citizens and states
men. The war is now prosecuted to enforce
those. It is a worse war, on these terms, than
the war John Brown waged. He only wanted
to steal the" niggers," but his " heir" has i'm

: the interests of God and humanity."-Fort

+ We see by a correspondence from New York
in b -Lake Superior NeDs and JoMyAdk
that the initiatory stops are being taken in
New York for organizing a company to build
a railroad from the copper mines of Lake Su'
rerior to Green Bay. It is to be knoFn as the
Wisconsin and Lake SUPERIOR Railroad, and
win run from the mouth of the Menominee
river to the copper range. via Lake Michigan
and Kehenav Bay. The road will probably
take the grant of the Ontonagon and State

TIE CHAUTAUouE CENTRAL RAILROAD
The Engineer Corps, says the Frsdonia Censor,
accompanied by u. Williams, Esq, completed
a preliminary survey of their end of their pre-
posed route, from the landing at the head o.
Chautauaue Lake, at Mayville, via this village
and Dunkirk, last week They found the
route unexpectedly favorable. They reached
the Summit this side of Muyvilleat an elevation
of only 80 feet. and a distance of four miles in
which to over come it. From the summit this
way the descent was very easy, the maximum
grade being not over 40 feet to the mile, and
the cutting and filing. we learn, does not cx-
ceed the average of the Lake shore road
through this county. The line is more direct
thar the present travelled road. tAis village
being reached in less than III miles from
the boat landing at the head of tie Lake..
A connection can be made between tho B. and
Erie road and the A. and g. W., over the
line which has been examined, in less than IS
miles, and with such an eaay grade that it
would seem needless to look for a more fea-
sible route. The large amount of oil and coal
would find transportation over the road,
if constructed, in addition to the local bust
ness and travel, cannot but make such a link
in the raiiroad connection an important one
the country as we'll as to Buffalo and plIces
beyond.
