THE Governor of Alabama has tele.
graphsd to the citizens of Selma TO pre-.
pare to receive non coubatauts from Mobile,
as the city is to be attacked by our forces.
1t would be very uukiud and disobligiug
10 Banks aud Farragut to neglect to. at.
tack the place, after the non combatants
had taken the trouble to prepare for them.
We beg them, therefore. iu justice to "ouE
misguided southern brethren" to go ahead.
But would it not be as well for these
wandering -eombstants not to unpack
their trunks At Selma For Gen. Sher-
man is moving in that direction and may
find it convenient to occupy the town. We
do not know where they had better 20. II
they stop at Montgomery, Sherman may
God it necessary to follow them. If they
go to Atlanta, they may arrive there about
the time Of Thomas arrival. Really We
can think of nothing better for them to do
than to stay at home, be captured, take
the oath of allegiance, become good citi-
zeus, aud help restore Alabama to the
proud position she occupied under the old
Gag.

The Desire for Peace,

The question of peace presses more and
more strongly, day by day, upon the people
Of the North. To ask if the Nation desire,
peace, would be mockery. The patriotic
sutierlngs of million hearts gave answer six
and thirty months ago. The only question
now is, whether We shall longer seek by the
sword an honorable quiet--whether it is DOS
sible to gain peace under the arbitrament of
arms. The Army desires peace the people
desire peace. But We firmly believe tina,
neither Army nor people asks for peace ex-
cept it is based on the Union Let us take
care that 10 selishness or partisan spirit per-
vert our opinions on this great question,
While We can afford to be generous to an
enemy in offering terms, We cannot Weld q
vital principle. No nation can afford to par,
with its honor. And the Army, which hold:
the Nations honor in its watchful keepine
is ill-disposed to basely surrender it. If We
cannot find national virture enough in our.
selves. LET US learn something from the firm
ness OF our adversary, who keeps his conf
dence even in bad and ruinous cause. Fo,
ourselves. We believe that the main duty O
the hour is vigorous war, that peace may one
day come In honor.-Armq and Nary Jour
nal.

The Contest for the Weldon r r

If we may Judge Of the Importance of the
Weldon railroad to the Rebels by their des.
perate efforts to re;ake il, then indeed We
must think that to deprive them of it is an
irreparable loss. Since Gen. Grant seized
this read the enemy has made four distinct
and desperate attempts TO retake it-result-
ing each time in hard-fought battle and a
sigma repulse; so that to-day the Union
army noIds the road, although there are fre-
