PEACE NEGOTIATIONS AND. THE
DRAFT.

The informal proceedings, with a view TO the
settlements Of our national difficulties, which have
recently taken place, have been received through
out tlss country as the harbingers of a speedy
peace on the basis Of the Union.
The undieguised pleasure with which these ne
gotiations have been everywhere received and dis
eussed, ences the ardent desire of the people for
peace, provided it can be obtained on terms cor
sstent with our national integrity Enterprising
news-mongers, aware of the feverish anxiety of
the public for early and reliable information upon
this all absorbing topic, have been circulating all
manner of early but not very reliable peace news.
Our own view Of the subject without regard to
runorsis simply this: The two visits of the ell
der Blair to Richmond, have, though unofficial
certainly made known to the rebel authorities
that no propositions viii be entertained, looking
to settlement on any other basis thanthat of the
Union They have also been given clearly to un-
derstand, that no armistice would be granted to
give time for negotiations, that Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan and Thomas, our regularly authorized
Commissioners would continue to push their ne
gotiations with their usual vigor
With this knowledge, they have sent Commits
H1lSsl0neIs lntD our llHtS 1ILESS NolAnlSslolSIs
could only have one of two purposes in view
Either to make peace on the basis of the Union
with what other terms they could obtain, or to
delay the progress of recruiting, renewing and
strengthening our armies IF they came with the
first as their object, we have no doubt but that
they viii obtain it, notwithstanding the rumors to
the contrary, that are being everywhere circulated
but we need not expect to be informed of it, even
if they have been successful until the terms are
definitely fixed and agreed upon, in fact until
peace is definitely concluded as it would be impo-
Htie for the Government to make the proceedings
known while in their incipiency.
In either case We viii, no doubt, be officially
informed of the result as soon as it is consistent
with prudence and due regard for the public
welfare.
Until then we should not relax our efforts to re-
penish and strengthen our armies, and prepare
them for an efficient spring campaign Then if
the Commissioners have come with the second
object in view, which is a very common ruse in
war, by the weaker party, in order to give time,
their object viii be frustrated, and Sherman and
Grant viii be prepared to push their negotiations,
with renewed vigor to speedy and successful con-
elusion With these views of the subject we
would urge every district, as soon as its quota is
KNOWN to make every effort to fill it at the earliest
moment, and thereby avoid the hardships of a
draft, which viii no doubt be made unless the
quotas are promptly filled

GENERAL NEWS.

| Prot. Goldwin Smith has written from England a
reply to criticisms on the unfrendly eourse OF
England, in which he advances this peculiar view
as to who are the real governing class in England
''That the members of our aristocracy and HER
archy animated by an inevitable antpathy to
American institutions, and that this antipathv has
broken out on the present OCCASION is an undepia-
bic fact, and one which have never attempted 10
conceal But the governing class, in the only prac
teal and relevant sense, is that which decides the
conduct Of the nation. Repeated propositions have
been made by tanatical supporters of the rebellion
with the French emperor at their back for hostile
Intervention, and upon all these propositions the
governing class in the effective sense of the term
has put an emphatic vote.
PETROLEUM USED IN TANNIHG.-New uses for Pc
troleum are discovered almost daily Ii is now
coming into use extensively among the tanneres of
the whole country, as a substitute for fish oil The
OIL used after the separation of the naptha and is
found to be excellent substitute for fish OIL the
leather being fully equal if not superior to that
made by the ordinary process.
The new three cent shinplaster is to be printed

The St. Louis Republican states that Rrigadier
General Roaay, who has aay.ed hisl,eI,
during the war as partisan cavalry commander,
and who has cooperated with Forrest in several
important operations grew tired of the contest a
few weeks ago. He found means to communicate
with the Federal authorities and through them
procured full pardon from the President as
condition precedent to laying down his arms. His
pardon war forwarded to Gen Thomas head
quarters by Mr. Lincoln last week. and by this
time, doubtless, is in the hands of the rependant
rebel for whom it was prepared. He viii soon be
heard of, therefore, as having resum ed civil pur-
suits at his old home, which we believe was in
Tennessee. The information opon which this
statement is made comes from loyal officer, VIII o
has just arrived from Tennessee. His position in
the army there is such as to give him an opportu
nifty of personally knowing the truth of what he
asserts.

Mr. Blair is still in the city We saw him on
the street late yesterday afternoon 1t il not be-
Eeyed that Mr. Blair has been authorized to offer
any terms Of settlement that could be accepted by
the Confederate people, What consultations have
taken place between him and President Davis, it
is presumed is known only To themselves.
The rumor circulated yesterday Of an armistice
for three months has IFS answer IN the thunder Of
cannon below the city. These rumors of peace
and of suspension of hostiities can have no other
effect than to raise false hopes in the minds Of the
people
The shortest way for peace is to prepare ggor-
ousy for war. The enemy win never make terms
with us until they are convinced we viii fight until
we viii achieve our independence.

Some of the Merchant princes and million
aires of New York are contemplating magnif-
cent project. It is nothing more nor less than to
relieve the nation of its debt by paying the whole
amount ($2, 00O, 900, ,O00) themselves. Il is pro-
posed to make the gift in 200 900 shares of $40 600
each Of which A. T. Stewart, VIM. B. Astor, and
others, viii each take fifty shares, making up at
least quarter of the whole amount in New York.
The realization of such project would place both
government and citizen in prouder position than
ever government or citizen occupied before.

This week we have had three sensations -Sher-
man triumphant arrival at the seaboard, the Can
adian imbroglio aud the Pope's ball, have each
had their share of public attention Sherman 5
arrival ait Savannah has struck new admiration IN
to John Bull for the pluck, endurance and militia
ry abilities of his transatlantic cousins. In A.
merican affairs Mr. Bull is very easily consoled.-
Ii jonathan gets woFsted. he exults, and says with
unabashed face that he is glad Of it. If .Jona-
than wins, then Mr.. Bull merely says, ''0fcourse
he must win, he has the true British blood in him
and blood viii tell So in either case he express
ses qualification In one case, you feed fat the
ancient grudge he bears you; and, in the other,

don Times to use racing term, begins, to hedge.
He is already half on your side and will be entire

PABIs, December, 80, 1864.
The news of Sherman 5 progress, his having es-
tablished communication with the coast, and the
probability that he has taken Savannah, has crea-
ted tremendous excitement among the Americans
both of the North and South in Paris Our
Southern friends have been so sure that he would
never get through, but that he would be eaten up
alive before reaching the coast, that they now
at loss what to say and fall back on the stale
sertion that what Sherman has done amounts to
nothing, One Southerner Imet to-day however,
seemed to have have a very different opinion .I
of course hope orr side will succeed, said he ;
'hut if the people of Georgia will let Sherman go
through their State, and do what he has done, and
there is no power in the South to stop him. | see
