The abolition fanatics in Congress are
scared, lest the peace missions of Blair and
Others may terminate this bloody disastrous
and thieying war. One day last week, Sen
ator Clarke, Of New Hampshire, President
pro tenn Of the Senate, introduced rcsolu-
tions declaring that-no negotiation, terms of
settlement, concession or compromise be
entered into, proposed, yielded or made
with the rebels, directly or indirectly, until
they manifest their implicit and uncondi-
tional submission.
We have no doubt a peace honorable
alike to North and South, and securing the
blessings Of perpetual Union among the
States, could be easily obtained if the infer
nal abolitionists, government thieves ant
shoddyitcs would permit it,

fullest strength, These forces are scattered
from the James to the Red Rivers, and from
the Atlantic coast to the Indian territory
II is shown very conclusively, that the only

the Army of Northern Virginia. This is
