papers Of Friday say three meetings wero
held in Richmond on Thursday, two In tho
African church and one in tho hall Of tho
House Of Delegates, to take action on tho
terms OF peace lately offered by the President
of tho United States. The papers represent
the enthusiasm us unbounded. Among tho
prominent speakers was Senator Hunter, who
said that in answer TO question rs to tho
status Of tho Confederate States In case Of
submission, Mr.. Lincoln said to him that IL
rested with Congress alone to say whether
they should DO received back into tho Union
rs States or not.
The Secretary Of State, Mr.. Benjamin, car
nestly advocated tho employment OF negro
soldiers.
"Mr. Shslfrie's remarks" It Is said in m
editorial, reflected tho firm purpose OF the
people Of these States to fight the fight out
and perish rather thun submit"
Mr.. Gilmore of North Carolina, and 9th
ers, made speeches glowing with the flames
OF war. and resistance resolutions OF kin.
dred character were adopted.
The Wing says: "Mr. Blair came hero
fully impressed with the idea that We wero
on tho point Of exhaustion. and that any fur
ther resistance we might make would be the
last efforts Of frantic despair.

ENGLISH CRITICISM ON LINcoLN.-Thc Lon

ENGLISH CRITICISM on LINcoLN.-The Lon
don Spectator, in q recent article reviewing
the career Of President Lincoln, says:
There is something in that steady bovine
persistence, that 1t cannot even bend to make
phrases, which is infinitely impressive to
spectators, which in the South must create,
more even than defeat in tho field, sense ct
the hopelessness of the contest. You may
face any man however superior in strength,
but the brayest will not stand up to the To-
comotiye. The President does not boast,
shows no hatc, INDUCES in no cries Of tri-
umph over the "steady advance of our arm
les" threatens no foreign power, makes no
prophecies OF speedy success. comforts the
people with no assurances Of Utopian (u-
ture; but. as il impelled by force other
than his own will, slides quietly, hut irresis-
tibly, along the rails. lIe is in his groove,
and moving; and those who are in his path
must ride with him, or lie nat, or retreat
must, ut all events, recognize that it Is they,
and not he, who ia to move out of the ap
pointed course. Mr.. Hawthorne, who do
tested Mr.. Lincoln for his want Of refine
ment, once doubted audibly whether his
detestation was right; for, said no, al have
noticed that tho people always in such cri-
els hit on the right man." When the smoke
of this struggle ceases to make English eyes
smart, they also we believe, will recognize
that the intuition of the man Of genius was
truer than his taste.

VIEWS OF THE KENTUCKY GovERNoR.-Gov.
Bramlette, in his message to the Legislature
Of Kentucky, urges the ratification OF the
Amendment abolishing slavery, and says
No intelligent man, whatever may DO his
desires upon the subject can hope for the per-
petuation Of slavery in Kentucky. Every
State which surrounds us has abolished sla-
very. The laws for rendition Of fugitives are
repealed, and there is no possible hope OF
their re.enactment. The most valuable slaves
have enlisted in the army or lied to other
States; those that remain are hopelessly do
moralized, and rendered not only valueless,
but burdcnsomc. These facts arc OF general
notoriety and indisputable. Although much
of this state of affairs has been brought
about by what we have deemed uncalled Tor
and unnecessary interference with the subject
Of slavery. yet it has been part Of tho bitter
fruits of rebellion; and the facts exist and
cannot be changed by denying them or clos
ing our eyes to their existence Whether The
proposed amendment Be ratified by you or not.
slarery has been toredoomed by rebellion, and
cannot be maintained. Ii is not, therefore, u
question for us to determine-shall slavery
continue or not ?-but, how shall il end?

He then ordered oil back to their quarters.
This was not the end of the matter, however.
Soon after he received score or so OF notes
from prisoners, requesting to bckept behind.

matter thoroughly, and again assembled the
500. He stated to them all that had oc.

ave have been in Aroostook three years and

cinity. We arc told that there have been
no deer in Aroostook for great many years.
They were, few years ago very numerous
in upper Pcnobscot on tho Mattawamkeag'
and arc still found there. The Transcript
further says: They are prepared for the
market by removing the fore shoulders.

End of the Peace Movement.

The President has sent to Congress spe-
cial message on the subject Of his recent visit
TO Fortress Monroe. which consists OF oil the
correspondence upon the affair. The letter
of SEQ. Seward to Minister Adams which ac-
companied the message, explains the whole
transaction, and will be found on the out
side of this paper. Wedid not believe that
probable facts warented the singular meet
ing. and now that they have come to light,
we arc sure Of it. The way for peace had
been asserted and 70 asserted time and again
by the Administration, and for the President
to raise Davis emissaries to the dignity OF
ENJOYS Extraordinary was uncallsd for.
Davis knew what would be the result OF the
conference, that recognition would not be
granted; but he wanted pretext to "iire the
southern heart" and he artiully accepted
the credulousncss of the Administration to
accomplish his end. BY sending his commits
sionerS he has stopped the cry of the peace
men Of the South, and singed for time at
least. the growing Union sentiment in Geor-
cia and North Carolina. What have we
gained? The knowledge that the rebels are
determined to fight yet. But we knew that
before il we didn't, an advance Of sim
rlc step Of Grant is army would have revealed
the fact. The conference has shown the do
inocracy Of the President Of which tho peo-
plo were thoroughly aware. and that he will
not abate one jot or title from the position
all along assumed by him. And that is oil.

mittcd. Ho has confined his State papers to
deistical belief, and stamped upon the relis-
GUS faith of the country practical denial of
Unitarian Jehovah. This was his faith,
butnot the faith of that widespread religious
sentiment that prevails throughout this coup-
try. Tho people do not like to be made to
choose between Jesus Christ and Judah P.
Benjamin, and to take the latter in prefer.
ence. Twice the Congress has endcayored to
change this, and has adopted resolution de-
signed to preclude the exclusion Of our Saw
Jour FROM the prayers Of people asking tho
interrogation Of God in our behalf, but each
time tho resolution has been disregarded.
When disrcgarded IL has shocked the whole
fabric of religious faith. Appealing to God
and not recognizing the Divinity Of His Son
is knocking Jehovah with the vain repetition
Of words which have no meaning. The coun-
try asks no hypocrisy from Mr.. Benjamin; HIS
religious belief Is respected, but they desire
some other statesman, whose faith moro ac-
cords with the religious convictions Of the
people.
This talk Of "deep seated religious bo-
lief" from the leading traitors, is as awful
rs the rattle Of muskot ball in hollow
skull. or protestations Of patriotism from q

A force attacked our troops on Salka-
hatchie this morning, but were easily repuls.
cd. The enemy also advanced on the Charles.
ton road, near the Blue House, and opened
with artillery, but made no impression on

Later. The enemy are now moving on
Edisto. Il will be remembered that on FRI
day, the 4th inst, Sherman crossed tho Sal.
knhatcbie, between Blackstone and Rivers
Bridge. thereby completely outaanking our
forces and compelling them TO fall back to
Branchville. We have since learned that tho
Yankees forded tho river, though the water
was waist deep. at Rivers Bridge. A sharp
engagement took place here which lasted Sow
eral hours, in which Whccler's cavalry in
