Another War Cry from Richmond-Thc
Pr0spect-Peace Surely Coming.
Another war cry comes up from Richmond
in response to President Lincolns peace ulti-
matum at the late Hampton Roads peace con-
ference. The Richmond Sentinel (the confden-
tial organ of Davis) referring to the anLi-Davis
rebel peace agitators, says 1.-THE question
with these so-called peace men is settled" that
"our advance, though invited, has been met by
the most intolerable Of insults" that tive have
been fairly forced to the wall, and it is plain
there is no escape from utter ruin save such as
we shall bew out with manful swords" The
Enquirer says that as the rebel peace COM
missioners shave been met with terms degrad-
ing in their character and ruinous in their
effects, the people Of these States have but one
course topursue. They must fight it ont" In
the same spirit tho rebel Governor of Virginia
Extra Billy Smith, calls for mass meeting in
tho African church, and the Sentinel, approving
the call, says "let US meet, and put our he63y|
Lincolns insolent insult, and return instant d.
flance to his menaces" Observation-Disclosures
are threatened with the halter, and peace men
tainted with cowardice or accused Of treachery.
JEFF. Davis declares, in unmistakable language,
shat he is not to be forced to become an agent
for reconstruction" The rebel press raises
the cry Of no more reconstructioH--no more
peace measures, with unanimty which
betrays the mind Of the arch rebel
which controls it. In werd, the Rich
mond Hre-caters are rampant, and the peace
men there are cowed into silence. Davis has
fianled them and CIT them off; but with his
expulsion from Richmond, with Lees army, we
shall hear from them again. The curtain is
about to be Wiod on the closing scenes of tho
drama, and peace is surely coming-the peace
Of rebellion put down and our Union re-
stored.
Meantime, Notwithstanding these Richmond
clamors of Southern unity for war, we
have at last all the advantages, in every
way, Of united North against divided
South. All the silly peace theories and
fallacies of our Northern peace faction are
scattered to the winds, with the repudiaH2n
by Davis of reconstruction by any process or
upon any terms. The Hon. Fernando Wood is
at length convinced OF "the error of his ways"
heretofore, and his voice is for the war; The
Hon. Mr.. Cox, Of Ohio, another democratic
peace leader, proposes vote OF thanks to Pre-
siden. Lincoln for his complete exposure of the
utterly inadmissible requirements Of the rebel
Northern democrat capable Of cool reflection
must now perceive that his party, rs organized
upon the Chicago platform, is dead and dis
solved; that the organization of tho opposition
party of 1868 will depend upon the issues
growing ont Of tho suppression OF the rebel
lion, and not upon the slavery question, or any
of the dead issues of 1864. There il no room,
no business, no foothold for an opposition Pre-
sidential party now, and hence, upon this para
mount issue Of the war for tho Union or dis
ruption for The sake of peace, the unity Of all
parties in the loyal States for Che war, save
here and there on incurable copperhead, or
some fossil of the Albany Regency.
The contrast presented by the present for
lorn, exhausted and distracted condition Of the
Davis confederacy is very striking. From Ala
bama and Mississippi, from Georgia and South
Carolina, come up TO Richmond the most painful
cries for assistance against the superior forces
of the "invadins Yankees" and the response Is
. requsiticn for every absent rebel soldier,
every deserter and every able-bodied man
within reach Of conscript hunter, for the de-
fence OF Richmond Outside OF the defsncos Of
that city. to the Mississippi river, all the broken
fragments Of the rebel armies are at the mercy
of Sherman and Thomas, and within the de-
fences Of that city the danger which menacess
tho army Of Lee is the danger Of famine or On
initiation. The region Of country which has
furnished his soldiers Is exhausted the States
which have contributed the bulk Of his sub
sistence are cut OF tho seaport from which he
has obtained his arms, ammunition, clothing
and hospital stores, BY several snip loads every
week, Is now hormctically sealed. At the same
time, while he Is confronted by veteran army
moro powerful than his own, he Is mcnaced by
several others convergins TO envelope him.
With their great general and their last re-
naming army thus entangled, Il Is not sur.
rrising that the people Of :he rcbellious States
ere now distracted, indifferent, donoralized and
djsheartcnod almost to the point Of general
collapse. And wha! is the remedy proposed by
the rehei SoInns at Richmond? The desnerale
