soon arrive IN Richmond.
There is no doubt that Mr. Benjamin be-

also, that Capt Maliit, OF the Tallahassee, was
expected to bring Napoleon's proclamaiiou.

RETURN Or tue PEACE COMMISSIONERS
The Peace Commissioners, Messrs. Steph-
ens, Hunter and Campbell, returned TO Rich.
mond on Saturday night, after an absence of
seven days. The frst two days were cou-
sumed in maneuverng to get through the lines
at Petersburg On Wednesday they arrived
Mt Fortress Monroe, and on Thursday they
had an interview with Lincoln and Seward at
that place not having been permitted to 20
further. The response made by the usurper
to our Commissioners, upon their desire to
ascertain the basis Of peaceable settlement
OF the existing difficulty, is understood to have
been what nearly everybody anticipated, the
unconditional submission of the South. As
far AS the question Of slavery was concerned,
the usurper said that the Federal Congress
had decided 20 abolish the institution, and
that settled all conflict on that score Our
commissioners, We understand, will publish a
full and precise statement of the circumstan-
ces OF their interview in the course of day
or two.

Peace.

We do not have to write pleas for peace
ourselves, or select such articles from
Democratic journals, The better class Of
Republican papers abound with articles
like this, from the Springfield COZ News;
"Do what we will, we can not keep clear
of the absorbing topic of Peace. Every
mind is bent upon it, The thoughts Of
every reader, and the news from every
centre of intelligence alike, converge to-
ward it. Had we never SO littlc faith in
the foreshadowings Of an amicable ar
rangement which have SO powerfully
wrought upon public expectation, we still.
could not avoid reverting to them. The
efforts of journalist mnst follow the
channel to which popular attention directs
itself; and for days past, the American
people have been impatient of any other
subject than this. The fact is significant,
as showing low the national heat yearns
for that benignant reign Of peace which
was once onr fondest boast ard choicest
blessing

IRELAND.
BY j. s. G.

OLD Ern's hills are are all aglow
With Ireedom's dawning light; and 10
Her exiled sons IN every land,
In many a true aud fearless band,
Are gathering now, resolved that she,
Their glorious mother, snail be free
Long years she's born the crushing weight
OI English power and English hate
Long years of sorrow, blood aud shame
Have failed her steadfast love to tame,
She bruvely scornS to bend the knee
To Saxon prile and lyronu!.
Vain! vain! is England'S power TO qdell-
Though aided by the fendS from lleh--
The storm that yet shall cast her down,
And pluck the "emerald" from her crown,
When IHshmen on land and sea,
Shall strikJ for Irish liberty
The land that Emmett died to save
Shall not remain the Bhton's slave!
Old Ireland yet has many son
To win the battle he begun;
Or failing, tread the path he IProudly tread
From CORY scaffOd up to God
When Ger her hills the Shtm;ocks gleam,
And "Sunbursts" float DER vale anc stream
Let ever Irish arm be seen
To strike beneath the Irish Green,
Till ireland owns to tyrants sway
From Maln Head to Bant?y Bay,
