If we are to credit Washington gossip,
Mr. Lincoln, for some time past, has been
less funny than his wont. He deals no more
in "button-bursters." Rich jokes, CONTRA
band of decency, no longer fall from his
lips. Perhaps the political situation is too
much for him.

NORTHERN PEACE SENTIMENT.

That the mass OF the Northern people,
if they conld be permitted to vote their
scorer sentiments, unawed by bayonets,
would tomorrow vote for peace on ths
basis OF separation, rather than encounter
the possible consequences OF an indefinite
prolon cation OF this contest, we do not en-
iertain the shadow of a doubt. They are
sick at heart of the senseless waste OF
blood and treasure, and beginning to see
that the restoration OF Southern trade and
commerce is not to be obtained by the ex-
penditure OF any amount OF gunpowder.
Minnie bullets, and bombshells they are
i fast discovering, are not the kind OF cur
rency which produces cotton and tobacco.
Bat the late peace sentiments OF the
North can be Of no practical avail to the
Confederate cause till Confederate bayo-
nets overthrow the armies which sustain
the Lincoln despotisin. We are fighting
the battles OF freedom in the United States,
as well as in our own country; and though
we feel no anxiety to aid III the emanci-
patton of those who have sought tc enslave
ourselves, yet, il their deliverance will
hasten the termination of this war, our la
bors will Lot be without reward. We
look to our armies as the only pacihcators
whose Intervention will have any influence
in the quarrel. We look to the camp as
the only ark for the Dove of Peace, and
to the storm and deluge of the battle as
the only spot where il can find an olive
branch. Such reflections should inspire
the hearts and nerve the arms Of every
|soldier in the Contederacy. Literally and
truly, the only earthly hope Of peace Is IN
their success. Let every General and ev-
cry private realize this trath In all It's
bearings, and who can doubt the result

4 RAY OF PEAcn.-The reader will find
below report Of certain movements In
the direction of negotiations for peace,
made by several gsntlem an on the part
of the Confs deracy, and Greely and Lin
coin, for the Yankees. 1t would seem
that Messrs Clay & Co., desired a safe
passage of themselves from, point in Can
ada to " Washington, and through Gree!y
asked for it. Lincoln replied that if they
were were bearers of propositions for
peace from Richmond, safe passage
would be granted. The gentlemen acting
tor the Confederates replied that they
were not accredited with snch proposi-
tione, but that they felt authorized to de-
clare that if it was known that Lincoln
was ready to negotiate, full powers would
be granted them from Richmond.
To this fair step towards negotiations,
Lincoln gave them a reply which com
petely cat off all further thoughts of effect
ing anything towards obtaining peace
i was in substance thai any propositions
for peace would be considered and the
bearers received, if they brought PROPOSE
tiuns which contained provisions for the
restoration of the Union and the abandon
ment Of slavery.
Thus has Lincoln again dictated to our
people the conditions upon which peace
can be bad, and laid down III advance the
only terms upon which he will negotiate:
No true friend Of the Con1ederacy Will
dare to say that these terms are honorable.
Far from it. Their acceptance would con-
sign to ruin our whole country, and render
of no avail all the efforts and sacrifices
that have been made by cur people.
These sentiments ought to close the
mouths Of the peace shriekers of our State
who are so blatant before the people a.
bout the prospect of peace--as if peace
could be obtaiued-ssan honorable peace"
merely by asking for it.
It shows too that our authorities are
anxious to secure peace and are making
honorable efforts to obtain it, for these
gentlemen were surely sent on their mis-
sion By the government, and did not make
the attempt on their own responslblllty.
The only true way to effect peace is for
onrpeople to strengthen by all means in
their power the efforts Of our common
government to repel the foe, and unani-
rnously determine to accept no alternative
but that agreed upon at the commences
nlent of the war. We're such our true po-
sition, and were our enemies fully aware
of it, the day of peace might certainly be
affirmed to be nigh:

NORTH-RON. ALEX. LONG A.
MONG HIS CONSTITUENTS.
Mr.. Long had public reception on his
return from Congress by his constituents
OF the Second District OF Ohio, which, as
described in the Cincinnati Enquirer, Was
not only only large but enthusiastic. He
was welcomed by the Hon. VIM. M. Cory,
in a speech of some length, which was re-
sponded to by Mr. Long, giving an ac-
count of his stewardship. The represen-
tative and the constituents alike justified
the bold stand taken by MI. Long in Con-
gress, for which he was censurad by all
fanatic 7Aboli!iorists. To show the spirit
OF the people, we subjoin the resolutions
OF the meeting, which were adopted by q
unanimous vote:
Resolved. That the Democracy Of the
Second District Of Ohio, hail with delight
the return of their Representative and
we are proud OF the record lie has made
for himself in the Congress OF the United
States, as the advocate of our rights, onr
liberties and immediate peace.
Resolved. That like our Representative,
we belive .here are now bat two alterna-
hves-elther all acknowledgment OF the
Independence and sovereignty Of the
States composing tho Southern Confeder-
acy: or tho complete subjugation and ex.
termination OF their people; and of the al
tentative, like him, we prefer the former.
Resolved. That We are in favor of im-
mediate peace, and against the further
prosecution ot this war.
Resolved. That the Government of the
United STATES has no right to coercs q
sovereign State.
Kssoved. That we are opposed to the
present Administration in all its principal
measures It has suppressed tree speech,
imprisoned citizens without cause; i'm.
povershed, bankrnptsd and depopulated
the country, and attempted to destroy Re
publican Government IN the United
States
Resolved. That the Dem ocracy of the
Second District Of Ohio to-day unfurl their
banner for the Presidential campaign, and
having IN abiding faith in the honesty,
ability, craftsmanship, and frmness Of
their representative, they present him a.
their first choice for the Presidency Of
the United States.
Resolved. That the Democracy Of Ohio
has beheld with indignation the vile treat
ment used towards the illnstrious ex-Sen-
asor James A. Bayard, of Delaware, by
the Senate Of the United States, and be-
lieving that he should return
to preside over that assemblage, in =
its deliberations upon the liberties OF the
people, we send greeting TO the noble
State OF Delaware, his name as our 6rst
choice for the Vice Presidency Of the
United States.
Resolved. That the Secretary of this
meetlng furnish copy OF these resolu-
to the Cincinnati daily papers for publ
cation. II 60
The President requested the Meeting to
signify audibly their consent to the pas
sage of the resolutions consistent with
their health. The response was voeifer-

Greely, understanding they were the
bearers Of propositions from Richmond
looking to peace, rendered a cafe conduct
from the President.
They replied that they were not accred-
tied with such propositions, but in the
confidential employ Of the Government,
lanG felt authorized to declare that if the
circumstances disclosed in the correspon-
dence be communicated to Richmond,
they or other gentlemen would be invested
,, with full powers.
being materially different from that sup-
posed to exist by the President, it was ad-
visable for him to communicate by tele-
graph with him and obtain further instruc-
tions.
The following was accordingly received
from Lincoln
EXECUTIVE MANSION,
Washington, July -, 1864.
To 20hom at may concern
ANY proposition which embraces the
restoration of peace, the integrity of the
whole Union and the abandonment Of
slavery, and which comes by and with an
authority that can control the armies now
at war against the United States, will be
received and considered by the Executive
Government OF the United States, and will
be met by liberal terms or substantial and
collateral points, and the bearer or bearers
thereof shall have safe conduct both ways.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Clay and Holcombe, in q closing letter
to Greely, refer to the repeated declaration
of the Confederate authorities OF their will
lingness to negotiate for peace, and dep
reca,e the decision of Lincoln, as express
ed in his document addressed 'tTo whom
it may concern" They say 1T pre-
cludes negotiations and prescribes in ad-
vance the terms ana conditions OF peace.
1t returns to the original policy of no
bargaining, no negotiations, no truce with
the rebels, except to bury their dead, until
every man shall have laid down his arms,
submitted to the Government and sued for
mercy. We have no use tor the pa
per which has been put in our hands.
We could not transmit it to the Presi-
dent Of the Confederate States without OF
tering him an indignity: dishonoring our
selves, andincurring the we'll merited scorn
Of our countrymen.
