MR.. BEECHER AND MR.. CHASE

Beechor on Feaoo.
The Baltimore Clipper gives full report
of the speech delivered in that city by
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher on the 81 st uItimo,
and of the remarks of Chief Justice Chase
at the close of the meeting. Mr.. Beecher
defined his ideas of peace in the following
terse and vigorous terms scs-r7 az. ..
elf you will indulge me, Twill make q
few remarks on the question, of peace.
You know we are being continually sgita-
ted and excited by-rumors Of peace. La
dies and gentlemen, il is the cryof Peace,
peace, when there is no peace don't
regard immediate, peace as being half SO.
good as permanent peace. . In. the fret
place, utterly dread and ishould regret a
compromise, peace that should be coaxed
and persuaded, and that the government
should get it, 30 that all men should be in
doubt whe WAS Obliged, the party in rebel
lion or the party of authority. think the
government of these sovereign United
States ought to have its authority and ma
jesty so vindicated in this matter that the
world shall see this government compels
it. Long continued applause andlcries of
THAT'S the doctrine.'l think secondly,
thStlthe odious, unmeaBured and immeas-
urable guilt of this slRVeholders' war de-
mands before God and mankind such ter.
rible settlement that mot even Cataline
himself would dare, for the next one hun
dred years, to. raise another civil war. .t
"I am willing to see this work got
through in righteousness, but l am not
willing to see it got through in sneaking
compromise. To the men who say to you

sympathy. The moment they will say, as
men, before the NATION, we have made q

Ito bring back the prodigal son-I would
even run, as the father in the Scripture
did, seeing him afar of, run and throw his
arms about his neck, and welcome him
back, but not with his husks in his hands.
II hold that the South has violated the
law of justice, the law of humanity, the
law of allegiance and the law of fidelity; it
has blasphemed God and His creatures,
and so great wickedness never was done
with 30 much cruelty and 30 much need
less suffering; and now hold that they are
bound to make an open, public retraction,
and their punishment is to be such as to
stand before the world as the legitimate
punishment of ofignominiOus national trans

From Richmond.

NEw, YoRK, Feb. lO.-The Richmond
Dispatch says the meeting called by Gov
Smith on the reception of the news of the
result of the peace interview, was more
largely attended than any meeting ever
held in Richmond. JEFF. Davis made
speech. He said he had entertained but
little hope of effectiug honorable terms SO
long as the cause was meeting with rever-
ses, yet in Difference to the sufferugs the
people he had consented to make the effort
to obtain that independence which no 9th.
er power on the earth but Yankees would
think otdenying. As to the conditions Of
peace, Davis emphaticslly asserted that
nothing save the independence of the
Southern Confederacy could ever receive
his sanction. With the approval of Provi-
dence, which he conscienIiously believed
was on their side, and the united resolve
of the people, he doubted not that victory
would yet crown their labors. Before re-
uniting, he would yield up everything he
had on earth aud sacrifice a thousand lives.
He spoke three quarters of an hour in
this strain.
A series of resolutions spnrning Presi.
dent Lincoln's terms, expressive of graft
tude to the soldiers, and pledging their
llVes' fortunes and sacred hquor TO the
cause, were adopted.
Loud calls were made for Stephens aud
Hunter but they did not respond
A great war meeting was called to meet
on Thursday, yesterday, at which Davis,
| Stephens, Hunter and other leading men
were announced to speak.
In the rebel Senate on Monday, Mr..
semmes of Georgia, in reply to demand
for reinststing Gen. Joe Johnson, said he
had never won pitched battle, and that in
the retreat from Dalton he lost %, 900 men
and that it was his intention to abandon
Atlanta.
Mr.. Wigtall of Texas, defended Johuaon
and denounced the administration.
