Those s. Commissioners - Again---What Terms
Had They to Offer

Much has been said about the so-called reb-
ell commissioners at Niagara Falls, and we
have been repeatedly assured by the Demo
cratic press that they came to offer Peace
upon the basis of a restored Union" No
such intimations were given by them at any
time in any manner. We did have, it is
true, some. ridiculously crude propositions
from " Colonel" JEwETT, as chaotic as his
own brain, but not one word from the "Com-
missioners" themselves. Declarations of
terms to be proposed by them have been con-
fdently made, Notwithstanding they were in
direct contradiction of the assertions of the
rebel government and official organs. AL
though the Commissioners admitted they
were unauthorized, anything that throws
ton of Peace will be read with interest. In
this view, the following from the Grand Rap
ids Eag}e, giving the views of Mr.. HoLCoMBE,
as expressed in a conversation with leading
clergyman of Grand Rapids, who used to be
in college with him, is important, especially
as it is the only statement of the views of
any of the Commissioners that comes to
US with any show OF authority:
"Holcombe positively asserted that the
South did not want peace, and would not lis
ten to the faintest intimation of peace, ezcept
on terms recognizing their absolute independence
and sovereignty, acih all tie territory they origi-
naAy claimed. He said the rebels could and
would fight twenty years longer before &C
cepting any other or less terms than these. He
averred the Southern people were not fight
ing for slavery, and cared nothing about it
that they would relinquish it in a moment if
so doing would advance their cause that
what they were fighting for was independence
and separate sovereignty, pure and simple, and
/ this they would have, or else they must be er-
terminated.
Our friend questioned him closely and
repeatedly if there was not some possible
way to bring about peace; and he was al
ways answered that there could be no peace
upon the basis of any reconstruction of the
Union--that was altogether out of the ques.
ton. Whatever might be said or had been
said for political effect, the Southern States
would never again unite with the Northern
nounced, IL the beginning, that the separa-
ton was final, and they meant precisely what
they said. and would either die or carry this
point.
Mr. Holcombe was at great pains to Gre
ate the distinct impression that slavery was
not the cause or object OF the war, but only
the convenient pretext for getting up a re-
volt; that the real cause and object was in
dependence and separate nationality and
nothing else; and that no peace. or truce, or
compromise was possible that did not grant
the rebels independence and a separate SOW
erei gnty; and that, whatever political man.
agement could do in the North to embarrass
the Government was fostered and encouraged
by the rebel leaders because it aided them
more or less in obtaining their ultimate OBJ
.ject, separation and independence"

bRIpoED-The great railroad bridge over
the Chattahoochee river which the rebels de-
stroyed, was rebuilt by Gen. Sherman, and
trains passed over it on Friday. Cars now

UNITED STATES SToCKs IN GERMASY.-It i
an interesting and significant fact that tns
transactions in L. S. 5-20s now constitute
three-fourths of all the business done at tAe
Frankfort Bourse, Germany. Prominent
bankers estimate the amount OF United State
bonds in Germany and Holland at the preseh'
time, at not less than 20o,O00,o00. In fact
many importers sell their goods in New York
and direct their correspondents to remit theH
pay in 5-20's, instead of in exchange. Is
stated that London and Liverpool merchan"
are doing the same, and thus send them 70
the Frankfort Bourse for sale. To-day these
securities are more than six per cent hign''
than they are in New York. Loans az
readily effected on them at the rate OF Nv
per cent. from three to six months.

ATTACK on MISSISSIPPI STEANER.-The
steamer Empress on her up trip from New
Orleans, was fred into by battery of six
guns, on the 10th near Gaines Landing, and
narrowly escaped destruction. She was strusk
while making = distance of 500 yards, about
80 times by cannon shot, disabling her ma
chinery. The balls ploughed through her in
every direction md showers of musket balls
fell on every side. There were about 500
persons on board and great alarm and confu-
sion existed. The Captain, JOHN MALLoY,
who was at his post forward of the texas, was
instantly killed by a cannon ball, which took
his head off completely. His last words were
"never surrender the boat" The pilots,
mates, and engineers heroically kept their
posts until finally the steamer was rescued
by the tin clad gunboat "No. g." Five per-
sons were killed, including S. Z. BRAYSARD,
Co |, 10th Wisconsin infantry, and several
wounded.

The New York Herald is a dirty and infa-
nous sheet, but possesses tact and shrewd-
ness. 1t wants General MCCLELLAN elected
President but it has sense enough to under
stand that his prospects cannot be promoted
BY asSailing General GRANT. The Copperhead
World having proclaimed GRANT the last and
worst of military failures the Herajd says:
" Gen. Grants achievements are great and
tangible. His victories are counted by the
half dozen, and when the people run over in
their minds the lists Of our great battles they
name six of the victories of this illustrious
soldier where they name one achieved by any
other Gen. Grant is the man who has plant
ed the Stars and Stripes on all that part OF
the rebel territory that we now occupy,
Those politicians cut their own Threats who
try to ignore, uRdcrrate sheer down a man
VINO has fought more battles and won more
victories than any other general in the ARMY,
and who has won his way from colonelcy OF
militia to the Lieutenant Generalstip of the
United States"

yield assume a bold front and summon all
your energies; murder and MAIN as many
Union soldiers as possible; hold out till al
ter November p What intelligent man does
not know that the sole hope of rebellion lies
in the defeat of Mr. LINCOLN and the election
of a Democratic President, ready to purchase
peace at the price of national integrity and
honor. TIER men are all in the field and are
insufficient They have ceased to look for
foreign Intervention. Their sole hope now
lies in aid from the North in divisions and
chickering's in the loyal States, and the tri-
uInph OF the peace faction. They know that
with anything like unity in the North, they
cannot succeed. But for the expectation of
aid from the copperhead faction, they would
ere now have given over the hopeless con-
hct. But for this, thousands of lives upon
either side would have been spared, and
thousands of families saved from the sorrow
that has overwhelmed them. Upon the can't
ing, false, hvpocritical and elamorous- peace
faction of the North then-upon the vile par
tizan leaders who are ready to sacrifice the
country on the unhallowed altar of their self
ish ambition-rests the bloody stain of this
great guilt 7Esv are the widow-makers.
They are the orphsn-makers. 1t is their
hands that are ensanguined 1t is they who,
CRYING peace when there is no peace, protract
the war, ID its sufferings and sorrows.

Valuable SEcRET.-The unpleasant odor
produced by Precipitation is frequently the
source of ve1ation TO persons who are subject
to II Nothing is simpler than the removal Of
this odor much more effectually than by the
application of such costly onguents and per
fumes as are in use. Il is only necessary to
procure some of the compound spirits of AM
moaia, and place about two tsblespoonfuls in
= basin of water. Washing the face, hands,
and arms with this leaves the skin as clean,
sweet, and fresh as one could wish. The
wash is perfectly harmless, and very cheap.
1t is recommended on the authority of an e1-
pcriercsd physician.

OCTRAe IS BY THE TURKISH GOVERNMENT

Christianity, and threw them into prison, and
on the goth the establishments of the Ameri-
can Board the American Bible Society, the
British bible Society, and all the English
Missionary Societies were seized by an armed
force, the occupants elected, and the build

was il violation of all the rights of foreign

RESPONSIBLE directly to their own embassies or
ccnsulates 1t is thought that both England
and America will be compelled to call Turkey
to an account for this outrage. Our Charge
G'Afaires Hon. JOHN T. BROWN, is said to
have acted with dignity and energy in this
affair, while the British ambassador, Sir
HENRY BULwI'R, did nothing, and is cordially
detested there The pretext for this high
handed measure is said to be the circulation
through the empire by the Christian estab-
lishments Of books against the Mohammedan
religion.
