Feaee Negotiations.

We perceive with much rearet that q
few papers in Georgia advocate the sever
elghnty OF the States to such degree az IN
authorize each for itself to make the best
bargain it can with Mr. Lincoln for the
cessation of hostilities. We regard this AZ
exceedingly unfortunate. 1t not only
gives an Interpretation to the Southern
compact which that instrument does not
justify, but it is an indirect confession of
weakness in the Contederacy most hurtful
to the cause. Va do not impeach the
fidelity Of those who maintain this Goo
trine of State rights, but we feel persuaded
that the error, honest as it may be, is cal
culated to exert all unhappy influence Oh
our struggle for national independence.
The proposition, at this gloomy jnncture
OF reverses in Georgia, implies an sban-
donnent Of all hope OF ultimate success,
and in this respect it is very Objectionable,
even if nothing more SO, ious could be al
legged against it. Such a pretensiOn is
wholly inconsistent with the power to con-
duct our foreign relations which has been
delegated to the Confederate government.

To this it.rhay beans~eral, and to that
answer, desire for moment to call your
attention, SC, that every man may work
out in his own mind much more clearly
than any suggestion of mine could do, the
problem that if we go on with the strength
and stringency that have suggested, how
shall We live in the same land with the
men whom we thus fight2 Again, let us
go to the teachings of history, and we will
draw from the history Of that nation
which we are proud to call our mother
land. Every considerable estate in Eng
land under Cromwell passed through the
courts, or commissions of confiscat;on.
Every considerable household fought
against every other considerable house
hold the people fought against
the mobiles, and the MOBILES against
the people, and yet when the
king came to his own again after time,
the nation came together, cemented in
friendship, never to be divided thereafter.
Is there any difficulty then, looking at the
teachings Of history, in the Anglo-Saxon
race knowing how to live in unity and
peace amity and friendship, with those
with whom they have had a fight? Ia it
not well known rule that those whom we
have fought bitterly, after the fight, was
over, are the ones who become the more
endeared to us, and we are the more ready
to take them by the hand? Therefore, l
see no difficulty in every good man of the
North and every good man of the South
coming together, and letting by cones be
by cones. As I have said, l desire
to extinguish all the bad men so far as
this country is concerned.

N. Decaisne, in a communication to the
Academic DIES Sciences, exhibits another
clause in the heavy bill of Indictment
against the use Of tobacco. He states that
in the course Ct thres years he Las met,
among eighty-three inveterate smokers,
twenty-One Instances of marked intermit-
lance Of the pulse, occurring in men from
twenty-seven 10 forty~two years of age
and not to be explained by organic lesion
of the heart. The absence of such lesion
OF other condition of health capable of in
ducing inte,mssion of the action of the
heart, and the fact that in nine Of these
instances, in which the Use of tobacco was
abandoned, the normal action of the organ
was restored, NJ. Decaisne believes, will
justify him in concluding that, in certain
subjects, the abuse Of tobacco may give
rise to condition which may be termed
narcotism OF the heart" characterized
by intermission in the movements OF that
organ and in the pu]sations of the radial
artery, and that in some cases, q suspen-
sion or diminution in the practice of smok-
ing is sufficient to cause an entire disap-
pearance of THIS irregulasity. Medical

which they are made a legal tender for
payment of debts 1t is clear, therefore
that Congress has always preserved the
distinction between current ard lawful
money, which may be received in payment
of debts, If the creditor sees fit to accent
it, and that which he may be compelled to
accept as legal tender.
It is clear also that if Congress makes
any other thing than their own coin le-
gal tender, it may be used as such. Thus
in the act authorizing the national banks,
their notes are made q legal tender for
certain debts.due to the government, for
taxes, DO /, but not for debts due from one
citizen to another.
The Treasury notes are made lawful or
current money, "and legal tender for
debts, DC, as between individuals. As
this is the first act in which this high pre-
rogative of sovereignty has been exercised,
II should be construed strictly. 1t is
doubtful in policy and dangerous as prece-
dent.
The only question then is whether this
case comes within the letter of the
statute. .. .....
Is the money which may be paid to ex-
tinguisb agrOurd-rent within the category
of the act?
Is it q debt? The owner of the land is
not bound TO pay it. There is no obliga-
ton IS between the parties 1t cannot be
converted into an obligation by the cleo
ton OF one of the parties without the con-
sent of the other. A man may execute
his bond to me voluntarily, but unless |
accept it he does not become my debter.
The ground rent in the nature of rent
service, are somewhat peculiar to Pennsyl-
vania and little known in other States.
But the Supreme Court of the State has
already settled and determined their ma
ture. The cases are too well known to
the legal profession to need question
"a rent service (say the Court in Bosler
vs.. Kn,ln--8 Watts & Sergeant, 1869 is
not debt, and a covenant to ray it is not
a covenant to pay debt. The annual
payments spring into existence, and for
the first time become debts when they are
demandable"
l am of the opinion, therefore, that the
tender offered by the bill in this case is
not authorized by the statute, and that
the respondents cannot be compelled to
extinguish their estate in the. and by
such tender as that now made. The bill
must, therefore, be dismissed.

the contest has been decided let there be,

Gen. Mcclellan, it will be the duty OF his
opponents, equally with his supporters, to
give him, as President. the support he is
entitled to claim from all good citizens as
the constitutional head of the nation. And
between Ar. Lincoln, the candidate of his
party, and Mr.. Lincoln, the President of
the United States, there is a wide differ
ence. In the former character he can ask
to be supported only by those who concar
with him in his opinions and policy. In
the latter character be may rightly ask to
be upheld in the discharge of bis oonetitu-
tiopal functions by citizens of all parties
alike.
And the New York Herald doubtless
represents the average popular sentiment

electoral votes. The country seems salts
fed with this result. All parties peacea-

After the - dict.

In the heated political controversy
through which We have inst passed, and
as one of the inevitable results of partisan
excitement, there have been charges of
disloyalty made against all the citizens of
our State who could not conscisnciously
advocate the reelection Of Mr.. Lincoln.
In order to fasten this charge upon the
friends Of Mcclellan, we have had it re-
ported oaer and over again that, in "cop-
periead meetings the attendants would
cheer for the President of the rebel Con-
federacy. After the contest it is time to
put history on the right track, and obliter-
ate all stains OF reported disloyalty from
the garment of Kentucky, and this can
be easily due by showing up Specimen

lucky. Last Saturday night Lieut.. Gov.
Jacob spoke at Frankfort. We may say
here that he is one of the noblest speci
mems of loyal conservatism to be found in
the country. An ardent Breckenridge
Democrat in 1860, and with all his sur
roundings Turing him into the fatal path
which the influence of that magnetic lead
er exerted, he never swerved from his 10y

tie maintenance of an undivided country.

Upon the establishment of this fact he was

reprimand; for whoever has practiced it

commission and will feel the stings of con-
science whenever he thinks Of the petty
partisan roguery into which he was be-
trayed. In 1861 when real cheers went

Recent Marine Disasters on the Lakes
-LoAa Of the steamer Cleveland.

DETROIT, Nov. IA. The Advertiser
contains the particulars of the loss of the
steamer Cleveland, we'll known on the
Lakes. On Thursday, Nov. 3d.. when al
most up to Grand Island, she encountered
q most terrific gale. She endeayored to
get around the Island, but the gale increas-
ing in violence, she was finally compelled
to, give it up; and she reversed her course,
and headed down the lake for Whitefsh
Point. In tho meantime, she either
sprung leak that put out her fires, OF
broke some OF her machinery, (probably
the former), and lay twelve hours
in the +" gale, drifting about
at the mercy of the elements.
She finally, on Friday morning, driftea
ashore about; 90 miles above Whitefsh
Point. When she first went on the beach,
one of her pipes rolled overheard, and one
of her arches broke. The passengers and
crew got safely ashore in the small boats,
and large amount of her cargo was be-
ing saved and cared for on the beach.
The locality where she struck is one of the
most exposed in the entire region of Lake
Superior, and nothing will be saved OF the
upper works. It is possible, however, that
the hull may be eventually recovered, al
though the lateness Of the season renders
the prospect unfavorable, and she has been
abandoned to the underwriters. The en-
CINE, boiler, anchors, chains, ETC., will be
saved.
The Cleveland was built at Newport in
1852, and since 1861 about $4,000 had
been expended upon her in repairs.
The same paper reports the laundering,
on Lake Michigan, of the bark Mojave, on
Tuesday of last week, off Sheboygan, with
all on board. She was new and staunch
vessel, commanded by Capt. L. N Malott.

Report of General Pope.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-General Pope
transmits long report Of the campaign in
the Northwest, dated headquarters at Mil
waukee, last week. After reviewing the
condition of Indian tribes, he says that
with the Chippewas there have been diff
culties, which have not led to hostilities,
although there have been, and continue to
be, constant misunderstanding, dissatisfac-
ton, and controversy, which naturally
arise under our defective Indian system,
between the Indians on one side and the
Indian agents and traders on the other.
So far, these difficulties have not culmin-
ated in actual hostilities; but unless the
Indian system be remodled, they are likely
to do 80 at any moment. The war up to
this time has been entirely confined to the
Sioux nation He concluds his report as
follows: ..e- "e:.'
may state finally that the government may
safely dismiss all apprehension of Indian wars
in the northwest. Small Indian raids there will
doubtless be, as therere always have been, for
stealing horses. No hostilities on any consid-
cradle scale are likely again to occur. A small
force, such rs is designated on this report, will
be quite sufficient to protect the frontier and
immigration. | only ask now that the military
authorities be left to themselves to deal with
these Indians and to regulate trading with the
Indian tribes. without the interposition of In
dian agents, and | will cheerfullv guarantee
peace with the Indian tribes in this department.
The department has been administered, so far
as its relations with State and other civil all.
thOrities are concerned, in accordance with the
views and principles laid down in the accom-
panying letter from Governor Solomon, of
Wisconsin. ! am gratifed to say that there
has been entire harmony and success, and the
draft and all other laws of the United States
have been promptly and fully executed in the
department, without difficulty or trouble of
any kind whatever. Gen. Pope acknowl-
edges the meritorious services of Gen. Sully,
and earnestly recommends him for promotion.

GREAT GUSs.-If they get them into position,
the guns now in San Francisco will most effectu-
ally protect the entrance to that harbor by way
of the Golden Gate. The two guns belonging
to the Comanche have 15-inch bore, and will
carry ball weighing 300 pounds. Two other
guns of the same caliber have also arrived, and
as soon as possible will be mounted on Alcatraz.
They weigh twenty-five tuns each, without the
carriages, and so great is the job of discharging
them that proposals for doing the work have
been advertised. With the Comanche ahoat and
armed, the two monsters ON Aleatraz, and the
one hundred and odd other guns, ranging from
"a to 100 Founders, stationed around the harbor,
San Francisco will be safe on one side but to
protect her from attack in the rear she must
have more guns and more earthworks.
