ToPEKA, KANSAS, February 9, 1865.
TO tie Editor ejthe Doniphan County Soldier:
In your last issue of the Soldier, (January
26th.) you have an editorial article. headed
"our Representatives" do not propose, at
present, to say much in regard to the course
taken by Mr.. Payne and mys:lf, in the lat.
Senatorial election. When the Circumstances
connected with the election, and the facts,
shall have been made public, as is now being,
and will be more fully done, believe that a
just and an honorable constituency will approve
our course, and say Amen. Nearly all of the
Anti. Lane pipers in the State sustain their
Representatives in the course they have taken
in this matter; and it is . we'll known fact.
that nearly all the Anti Lane Senators and
Representatives who are Republicans voted for
Lane. if they voted at all. When return to
nv constitute nts, will state to them my course,
and abide their decision. If they eensure, me,
vill receive the censure as becomes a soldier.
In the same issue of the Soldier, you sreak
very wrongly and unjustl! Of General Thomas
Ewing, Jr. No man can question his honor
even his political opponents confess that he ID
honorable, even in all political matters.
Now, Mr.. Editor, as own ons-fourth Of the
Douiphan County Soldier, do you not think il
unfair and unjust for the other owners to con-
bine and use my property to injure met Itfl
but justice to- Mr.. Payne and myself to publish
this letter; and IL there is any honor in the
other owners Of. the Soldier, this article will
be published.

TIE PEACE MovEAEsr.-Ths peace

TIE PEACE MovEaENT.-The peace
bubble has bnrst. The great conferences
has ended in failure. President Lincoln
and Secretary Seward met Stephens, Hun
ter and Campbell on steamer. anchored
near Fort Monroe. where they had an in.
terview lasting four hours. when they part
ed on the same terms on which they had
met. Some correspondent. who pretends
to speak from q knowledge of the facts.
says the rebel Commissioners would listen
TO no proposition for peace which was not
based on q recognition Of Southern indo-
psndence; that they did not come to rep
resent their own views, but those of their
Government, and such we're their instruc-
tions. On the other hand, the President
insisted that return to the Union and
subsection to it's laws was point which
must be sequieseed in by the South; that
being done, be would do ell in his power
to make other 10 ALTERS as light and pleas
ant to the repentsnt rebels as possible.
He stated the case in every shape and
besring, but to no purpose-.he vital
point could not be agreed upon; and both
parties returned homeward. with the agree
meut that all things should remain ss
though such q meeting had never taken
place. The correspondent of the New
York Times says that the above report il
arroueus-that the rebels did not insist
upon Independence. But demanded an ar
mistics, preparatory to negotiations. Lin
coin was too sharp for them-he saw thai
their object was to gain time to recnperat'
their armies. strengthen their defences. and
obtsin supplies; so be "put his foot down
on It. The Times says the President hs'
prepared a message, giving the details o
the interview. which be will soon send il
to Congress. The predictions ofthe Time
on peace matters hitherto have been NOR
correct than those of any other paper. ant
are therefore more worthy Of credence.
The Cabinet have held meeting. ant
/. expressed themselves perfectly satisfied
with the action of the President in thi
MISTER. The war is now to be pushed
with greater vigor than ever. and the reb
els forced into terms.
Secretary Fessenden ia soon to resign
and it is said that his successor will b
appointed from New York city, with a'
eye to financisl affairs bearing upon tb
