Alexander Long.

From the Cincinnati volksfreund, April lo.]
The Representative in Congress from
the Second District OF Ohio, made, day
before yesterday, {Flidsy. April 8, ID
the House Of Representative, his FIRST
speech while there. In that speech he
declared himself, openly and unreservedly,
for the immediate close of the war, which
be branded as unconstitutional and unjust,
and also for the acknowledgment of the
Independence of the iSoxtA. .ass 4sosA3
Mr.. Colhx, Of indians, brought in .
resolution yesterday. April 3, which pro
posed the expulsion of Long from Con-
gress.
Before his election in the fall Of 1862,
Mr.. Long appealed to his eoesgs.ic &C.
tivity as member of the Military Com
mittee of this city, in the promotion Of re-
cruiting, and made the Union ~ it vas,
and the Constitution as it is the great
theme Of all his speeches.
How Mr.. Long can now reconcile thu
acknowledgment Of the Southern Confed-
eracy with the "Union - it VAS" is .
riddle to us and to many Democrats, and
we hear already that in the Second Dis
trict, a Democratic indignation meeting
is contemplated to set forth the true posi-
ton Of Mr.. Long.
So far as we can judge from the tele-
graphic dispatch of the Associated Press
and the specials of the morning papers,
the speech of Mr.. Long is entirely in the
style of the editorial of the Enquirer, and
is spiced with the well known arguments
of that sheet

Terms on Which Peace may be

WASHINGTON, (Thursday,l August
25-Iou may rest assured that ali the
reports attributing to the Government
any movements looking toward nogotis-
tioas for peace at present arc utterly
without foundation. There has been
nobody at Niagara representing the Gov
crnment, or in any gay expressing its
opinion, concerned in any negotiations or
conversations with the rebel cmissarics
on the subject of peace. The Govern.
ment has net entertained or discussed
the project of proposing an armistlce

of sending commissioners to Richmond

subject. Its sole and undivided purpose
i, to + ,secute the war until the rebellion
is quclled. But if anybody doubts its
willingness to make peace whenever the
rebels will lay down their arms aud lie
turn to the Union, let him produce any
proposition from the rebel authorities to
that effect, or apF evidence that they are
desirous Of endhg the war on those
terms, aud he will then !e in eon:ition
to test the purpose and disposition of the
Government on that point, He will find
no difficulty or delay in defining the
Presidents position on that subject -

The Crimson nag.

In looking over an old number Of the
Home journal, VIC fi1d the following ;
Mcpherson Washington, lineal desccn,
dant of the "Fathcr of his country"
owns the celebrated "crimson flag of Eu
taw" which was carried at that famous
fight as we'll as at CowpeDs. There is
a story connected with that piece Of cloth
narration. Just before the battle of Eu-
taw, William Washington called upon a
lady, and asked her for something red,
to inspire the boys in the coming fight.
She withdrew, and returned with the de-
sired color, carefully wrapped up. Our
revolutionary mothers wore red petticoats
in those days, and not being able to OBJ
tain any thing else, she sacrificed her
crimson jupe on the altar of her coun-
try. 1t was carried into botly contes-
ted field, and, wherever it was seen, the
boys thought of their sweethearts and
wives at home, and struck for freedom
with terrific force. That little flag is
now borne by the Palmetto soldiers, be-
ing in the present custody Of the Wash
iDxton Light Infantry.

Negro Enlistments in Kentucky.

The suhioined orders; relative to the
enlistment of negroes in Kentucky, de-
7elopc the policy pursued by the Yankee
Go}erhment towards the people of that
State. The main point is that an owner
of slaves is deprived Of all control over
them. In other words, if negro goes
to the Federal authorities and says "l
am willing to enlist, but my master ch-
jects," the mastcrmay be arrested, thrown
into prison, and subjected to such other
punishment as the "powers that be" may
direct. The wonder ia that the. people
of sovereign State can. tamely submit
to such IN usurpation of their rights; but

They broke up q great many Of their

bnrned all the hay and grain within reach,
in numerous CAGES setting fire to barns
in order to destroy the hay and grain.
They destroyed not less than 20 or 25
barns and stack yards in SIGHT of New

They burnt no dwellings, anil assigned

Dead Yankees in Andersonville.


During one of the intensely hot days
If last week, more than three hundred
sick ard wounded Yankees died at An
Jacksonville.
A curious calculation has passed through
our mind, dated on this information.
We find that this would make 1900
feet equal to 600 yards, or more than
quarter Of mile of dead Yankees.
A procession of wagons, ono to each
man, reckoning 20 feet to the wagon,
would make line G000 feet, or more
shan mile long.
To bury them side By side, would re-
duire trench 600 feet long, equal to
$40 yards, I feet wide and five feet deep.
.,s I.vogybIa I'D, require l2o men to dig the
% drivers to the wagons, p assistants
10 bury them, % wagons to haul them,
30 mules to pull them.
It would require 6 good steam saw
mills constantly running, to furnish suf'
fcicnt lumber to make the collins, rcck-
onipy the work of each mill at $500 feet
&C. day.
At so feet to c.ch coffin the sum to-
tai would be 1900 feet.
To the funeral cortegc we will allow
for charity's sake, 000OoOOo, mourners.

When the report reached the Stock
Exchange of Grants blowing up cita-
del at Petersburg rebel stock fell one
per cent. To take the town would bring
it down FIVE per cent, and the fall OF
Richmond would drop it at least ten
more. But at this time that stock is
worth more by fifty per cent, than the
best bonds and stocks of the United
States Government. All this is owing
to Just one thing, so far as the value of
tie rebel stock is concerned, the facilities
for running the blockade at Wilmington.
There is whole feet Of steamers Just

blockade, and just putting in cargoes
that will average in value half million
