the fate Of her gallant husband. She travelled
day and night more than hundred miles,
went through the enemy's lines, and pursued
her inquiries until she traced up the spot

THE PRESIDENTIAL QUEsTroE The World,
in discussing this subject, says Anybody
rather than Lincoln is getting TO be the
unanimous cry Of the people of the North.
The Times cautiously admits as much Its
editor is the Chairman Of the National Exc
cutive Committee the author of the Balti-
more platform. Pledged TO the support of
Mr. Lincoln, he nevertheless saw so clearly
the folly Of the Niagara letter svowal that
overtures of peace would not be listened 10
from the rebels till they abandoned slavery,
that in his journal be publicly assured Mr.
Lincoln, that the people of all parties, de-
manded no such plsdge, but demanded only
adhesion to the Union and its laws and is
currently reported and believed TO have visited
Washington to assure the President that the
avowal Of his purpose TO convert the war for
the Union into an Abolition crusade was fatal
to his prospects unless attenuated or re-
tracted

The Journal and the Peace
Meeting.

Ever since the immense peace meeting
Of Saturday last, the Journal has been
distressingly on the rampage. 1t tried
very hard to convince itself that the meet
ing was a failure but any one skilled in
the slightest degree, in deducing facts
from manifestations, could not have failed
to conclude, by the evidence it furnished,
that the meeting Of Saturday last was
felt by it to be a perfect triumph in every
respect. 1t became demoralized, and, like
a wounded snake pierced its own flesh
with the upper and neither fangs of false
hood and blackguardism. 1t descended to
the vulgsrest obscenity as Il it expected
to relieve itself by shocking the sensibil-
tiles of its readers. Its issue of Monday
last, was especially foul and, we verify
believe il laid its editor liable to the penalty
Of the law which protects society against
obscene publications. We refer to this
matter more in sorrow than in anger "
and will only a Id hope that the editor
Of the Journal may learn to stand these
great meetings of the people, with a
philosophy and resignation more in keep.

community in which he lives. We take
no pleasure in the advantages we derive

To tke President Of the United States:
A PRAYER FOR PEACE ON The BASIS OF TIE
INTEGRITY OF TIE UNION

To tho President of the United States
We, the Women of Ohio--the mothers,
wives, daughters and sisters Of the soldiers
now in the field, who sleep in patriotic graves
petition the President OF the United States to
grant us Peace We love the Union of the
States, bat above all wa love that sacred and
holy union composed By our fathers, husbands
sons and brothers Many Of our homes are
desoate--all are obscured in gloom. Aud
our hsblliments of woe are stained with pater.
nal, with conjugal and with flial blood. Oh,
then, let our prayer be heard, and do not doom
10 death the remaining loved ones whose pres
ence saves us from despair With prayers
for our Country, aud tor Peace, we trustingly
subscribe our names.
OF course, we desire to see these petit
tons extensively circulated, and signed, as
a discharge of christian and human duty,
but we have no faith that they will have
the desired effect upon the ghouls who
are fattening on the desolation of war.
Peace men, by these are denounced as
"scoundrels" and "rebel sympathizers,
and peace movements, as the very ne pluI
ultra of "disloyalty." What can we
hope to accomplish by petitioning power
so depraved as thus to pervert all that is
good in man into all that is evil la power
that is invulnerable to reason, and chris
tian influences, and as deaf to pity as q
stone? They will trample upon our peti,
tions, as ruthlessly as they have upon thC
Constitution. Nevertheless, circulate and
sign them, for moral effect among the
people, and for the consultations of con
science.
