ly family in the land but what consider
a supply of this article as necessary to the
household as their flour or prov's;ons.-

the public that will cure coughs, colds,

The Great Obstacle TO Honorable
Peace Removed.

by common consent it is now admitted,
that slavery was the first great cause III
the rebellion. Even the ultra pro-slaycry
men of the North yielded before-the stern
fact when they saw that the Southern con.
spirators themselves admitted it. But
there Is another truth Infinitely more sigpi-
cant. The Federal Government and Ms
Southern conspiracy or Cos)cderaey hare
agreed 10 abolish human siarsyy in the
United States cfe America. The lnuth=
ndienled emancipation proclamation If
Abraham Lincoln is now practically in!
itiated and defended by Jefferson Davis.
The much-denouneed enrolment and arm
ing of the colored people is now being
adopted and enforced by the leaders Of the
rebellion. In truth, they are themselves
conicssing their conversion to the ex-
iremest aud most radical measures of the
ultra anti slavery men of the North. Il
would seeul as if it was a race between
such men as Wendell Phillips and Lloyd
Garrison aud Ccrrit Smith on tho one
hand, and Jefferson Davis aud Judah =.

other, to show which can do most to OBJ
itcrate human slavery. This being 20,
why should we not strike hands and make
peace at once ON the basis of the Union I
Both sides concur shat slavery Was the au-
thor Of the war, and 10th as cordially
agree that slavery must be abolished.
Let US. then. have peace on the basis Of

as could be gathered in that State and
Kentucky, he boldly swung back again
with his main army to Atlanta. This
lnaneuver seems to have commenced
about the 30th, Of October. The 4th
corps appears to have simultaneously
marched to Decatur, Alabama, to cooper
rate with Thomas. Then, with the rest,
as if dislaining to measure arms once
more with the army that had come to
Gadsden to "whip him OUT" Sherman
resumed that steady march towards the
seaboard, for be set out on the first week
of May of the present year, from Chat
tanooga. OF the nature of this grand
movement we have a tolerable clear the
ory, and information that it would be
unwise to speak OF now. We must there
fore be content to be simply historical.-
our readers, however, need not be dis
turbed by any report from the enemy of
a disaster at Atlanta What appears
disaster may prove only the necessary
preliminary to a grand plan resulting in
victory. Both Oh the James and the
Shenandoah, there are ominous signs of
speedy and important movements. Early
is certainly reorganizing his troops at
Newmarket, and preparing onco more to
take the offensive. But no alarm on his
account need be felt. la the late battle
at Cedar Greek our forces outnun bered
him probably as two for one and though
VIC suffered the greater actual, and oven
greater proportionate loss, the ratio Of
our superiority is still too large to cause
anxiety for our arms in that REGION
Grant, too, will not fail to resume. in due
time, the offensive. The last movement
seem. to have been rather hall.heartei
upon the part Of some subordinates. who
went out rather to see what could be
done, than to DO, at all hazards. They
hardly believed they could get through
the enemy's lines, but we're willing to 90
and try. Another effort, let Us hope,
will exhibit more alacrity aud more faith
III happy result.

The End Of the EchIaswig
Holstein Question.

| The Schleswig- H0lstein question, which,
during the former part of the year, threat
ened to become one of the most serious
| European complications, has been finally
solved by a treaty of peace signed at
| Vienna on the Both of October The
treaty still needs ratification by the Dan
ish Rigsraad, but no one doubts that this
ratification will be given, and that thus
the cause of the long feud between Danes
and Germans will be permanently remov-
ed.
The details Of the treaty do not materi-
ally differ from the articles of the prelim-
mary peace which was agreed upon by the
belligercnt powers several months ago
Denmark cedes the three duchies of
Schleswig, Holsten and Laucnburg 70 the
victors, and pays TO the duchies . fixed
sum for their claims to the common pro-
perty of the former Danish monarchy
Schleswig and Holstein will be held by tie
Prussiaus aud Austrians until tae German
diet shall have decided the rival clainis Of
the Prince of Augustenburg and the Grand
Duke OF Oldeuburg to succession ip the
two duchies. This decision will un-
doubtedly be respected by Prussia, Austria
and the European Powers generally The
little Duchy of Laueuburg. to which
neither of the two German sovercigns just
named lays any claim, is likely to be an
|1lcxed to Prussia in accordance with the
vote OF the Dict Of the Duchy.
While this question was constituting one
of the grave European complications we
discussed it i'll all its aspects, and we there
fore deem it supcr1uous to recur to ii
again. A division of Schleswig on the
basis OF nationality, and in accordance
with the preferance expressed by the ma
jority of the people i'll the several district
towns, would have secured the approval
OF most European Liberals. But even
with the present solution the question is
not likely ever to rccur again. The num-
ber of Danes i'll schlesWig who prefer an
nexaton to Denmark is comparatively
small, and unable to cause any aerit AZ
trouble in future.
The treaty of peace may, therefore, be
regarded as another step toward "a per-
manent solution Of the nationality ques
ton, i'll which the Progressive party Of al,
Europcis deeply concerned. For III pro
portion as the ieuds about rights of ma
tlonalitcs are settled, and the frontiers
of European countries are readjustel in
conformity with the actual extent of the
different nationaities, the greatest obstacle
to the success of the Progressive party 0i
Europe will be removed, and an important
battle i'll its war against monarchy ana
aristocracy will nave been wou.-IfiG9ne.
