A RemarkabIe Peace Rulnor.

The New York Post publishes as con-
spicuous editorial article the subjoined
statement. We know nothing respecting
its authenticity, but the details are cer-
tainly curious.
"Among the rumors which are circula-
ted in this city and elsewhere, respecting
the informal conversations which have
been held at Richmond and Washington
on the subject of peace between the Uni
ted States and the insurgert organization,
is one of different character from the
rest, which deserves place by Itself.
at is said that in these conversations
the plan has been suggested of allowing
the rebel host and It's leaders to withdraw
from the United States to the provinces
of Mexico, without hindrance or molesta-
ton, like an army going out from be-
sieged citadel with the honors of war
Once beyond the limits of the United
States, their expectation would be that
they are no longer to be regarded as the
enemies of the Federal government, but
rather as an integral portion of the Mexi-
can population, to which they will add
themselves, and by the majority of which
that is to say, by the liberal party
they will expect to be received as friends,
if not in the higher character of G5erators.
"Arrived in Mexico, their plan will be
to follow for the present, the profession
they have learned in the last four years
that of war. The rumor goes that the
migrating army will by no means think of
recognizing the government of Macmillan.
They are TO offer their services, as soldiers,
to the government of Juarez, fully conf
dent that the men who have so long and
under so many disadvantages maintained
themselves against the vast power and
resources of the loyal States will find it an
easy task to drive out the invader and
usurper from Mexico When this is once
accomplished the liberators will of course
look for their reward Mexico has large
tracts Of fertile unoccupied land on which
the warriors will expect to settle, and their
superior intelligence and energy will give
them at once high position among the
mild, indolent and imperfectly civilized
race which forms the mass of the iuhabi-
tants. A large share In the direction of
public affairs would OF course fall to their
lot, and the exiles from the United States
would hope to become the magnates of the
government whose independence they mad
vindicated.
zone stipulation, besides that of not
being moleste4 and iGterfered with, au1
one only, we have heard conn ected with
this scheme of migration, and that is,
permission from our government to dis
pose of the cotton which is still in their
hands, In order to raise a sufficient outfit
for their retreat to Mexico, and the means
of maintaining themselves for while in
their new country. Ia regard to slavery,
we have heard of no condition whatever
demanded In connection with this exodus
of the rebels from the country of their
crimes and their misfortunes The rumor
supposes them too sensible Of their own
desperate condition, and too well informed
of the inhexible determination of the peo-
pie OF the United States on this point, to
raise any question concerning the contin-
uance of slavery, not to mention the strong
hatred borne to slavery in Mexico. A
peaceful migration with their arms and
the proceeds of their cotton are the sole
conditions that we have heard of belong
ing to this scheme"
