The Peace Meeting To-MorrOw.


We have been requested to publish the
names signed to the call for the Peace
Meeting tomorrow. For this purpose a
portion of the copies Of the call in cireu-
lation have been returned to us, contain
ing, in the aggregate above 1900 sigma
lures, comprising men of all parties, and
large numbers OF those who have hitherto
acted with the Abolitionists. This con-
yinces US Of the truth of the assertion of
the Journal of this morning that it's party
is dem oralized.
The sigrers of this call must excuse us
from publishing the list of their names,
as we cannot give up our entire space to
that purpose 1t is sufficient to the end
in view, to be able to state that the call
has been signed not by hundreds, but by
thousands, and that, too, irrespective of
former political afinities. The extent of
this movement in Montgomery county
shows that the people are at last resolved
to ignore party, predictions aud prejudi-
ees, and to strike for the highest good Of
our believed, but well nigh ruined country.

RISKS OF THE BLoCKADE.-A few Anglo
rebel vessels get through the blockade and
give aid and comfort to the rebels and larger
profits to the owners of the vessels and car
goes, but the business is extremely risky.
The Richmond correspondent of the London
Lnder, paper published in the interest of
the rebels, gives list of 1873 vessels engag.
ed in running the blockade at Wilmington
and Charleston, from January 1, 1868, to the
middle of April 1864. 1t is summed up as
follows:
so vessels captured; A vessels lost or
burnt l now running in Cape Fear; re-
turned to England; l wore out; 81 running
or expected in; 80 captured or lost before
reaching the Confsderacy; II captured or
lost before making one round trip; 16 cap
tured before making second round trip; 3
captured or lost before making third round
trip; IL captured or lost before making
fourth round trip. Out of II vessels owned
in whole or part by government, II have
been captured or lost, I is worn out 1 gone
to England for repairs; 8 still running. Out
of lie private vessels 80 have been captur-
dor lost; 6 are out of the trade % still
running.

A DANGEROUS ASTAGoMsT.-The heaviest
battery ever mounted on a man-of-war is now
in the Mediterranean, ON board the United
States steam frigate Niagara. Of 90 guns on
her main deck, there is not one less than
1I-inoh, or 100 pound rife-a fact the real
importance Of which can only be understood
by professional men. She is thus provided
with the best short range and the most per.
feet long ranged pieces of ordnance extant
The result of an encounter with her would
hardly be paralleled in the history of naval
fighting, for no such armament has been
known before

VALLANDIGHAM.-The Presidents policy in
regard to the return of Vallandigham is said
to have oeen recently given during confer
ence with the Kentucky Congressional dele
cation, relative to the case of Colonel VOL
ford. This officer, it will be remembered,
was arrested by General Burbridge, upon
some charge connected with the late Morgan
raid into Kentucky. The Kentucky delega-
tion requested the President to reinstate Col
Wolford in command, to which the President
replied that he should not depart from the
policy before pursued concerning Vallandig-
ham. Mr.. Mallory, of the delegation, re-
marked that the Vallandigham order was IL
operative in consequence of the exile having
returned to his home, to which Mr. Lincoln
replied that he had no official knowledge of
Mr.. Vallandigham's return, but when the lat
ter made his presence known by objectional
acts. the Executive would be prepared to act.
The--application in the case of Colonel VOL
ford war not granted.

A COMPREHENSIVE VERDIcT.-The verdict
of the Coroner's Jury in the matter of the
terrible rail road slaughter at Richelieu
River, Canada, is a model of its kind. Il
censures the engine-driver for carelcssness;
the locomotive foreman for employing such
driver; the very general neglect of the rule
requiring trains to stop before crossing
draw-bridge; the guardians of the bridge
for not reporting such neglect; the conduct
or for not having another brakeman on the
train in question; and finally they recon-
mended that the draw.bridge where the
slaughter took place should be abolished alto,
