The situation the south.

During his recent visit to New Y Iork, pri-
or to sailing for Europe, where it is under.
stood he goes as voluntary diplomaut to
induce England and France to act as medi-
tators ia the conflict of in this country,
Footc, the ex-mcmbcr of the rebel Senate,
gave to some OF his friends his views CON
cerping the feeling in the South. the pres
cut condition and future prospects, The
most important Of Mr.. Footc's statement
is. that there is in the South considerable
party Of seccssionsts who are now ready to
abandon their views and doctrines. if they
could see way TO come back into the Un-
ion without prejudice TO their honor and in
terests. These men are tired Of war, tired
Of the useless sacrifice they have made,
tired Of the despotism under which they
live, and would gladly embrace the first OPP
portunity to throw off the yoke, if the
terms offered to them are such as would not.
in their opinion, bring humiliation and
shame upon their names. They formed the
nucleus of the peace party which caused
jeff. Davis to send three peace commission
ers TO the North and would have compel.
ed him to make peace, had the conditions
proposed by Mr.. Lincoln been in the least
degree acceptiblc.
So strong is Mr.. Foote belief in the
power OF the peace men III tnc couti
whom he calls 'the reconstructlonists.
that he wrote to Mr.. Seward in order tC
know it, in the last interview at Fortress
Monroe. Mr.. Lincoln had given his ultima
tun,, add if better and more reasonable con
ditions could not be made to the South b!
/ the Federal Government. In that case Mr.
Foote bound himself to 90 back to tn,
South and toydlIy the peace party, the re
constructionists, in support of the Union
1t appears that Mr.. Seward did not deem i
proper to satisfy Mr.. Foote on that subject
ior he said to his friends that the answe
of the Secretary of State was unsatistacto
ry.
/ Being questioned upon the power of re
sistance Of the South, the ex-rebcl Senate
said that in all probability Charleston, vii
mington, Richmond and Mobile would b,
evacuatcd for there were not men enough
in the South to fight the Northern armie
on as equal terms as they have hithert,
done. Still he did not believe that tn
evacuation of these cities would be the sig
nal of the Conicderacv, which, he said
could resist for several years to come o
course, left to herself and without assist
ancc from abroad, she was bound to perish
but the hour Of her death was very remote

The Peace 7EunIbug.

IL Is difficult to resist the conviction that
Lincon's peace project has been conducted
in the same way and with the same object
rs was his exchange negotiations, which
Butler shows to have been for the purpose
of prevcntiong an exchange while cunning
ly deluding the people with the belief that
he was doing his utmost to accomplish It,.
Mr.. Lincoln offered to be liberal in minor
points, while "obstrusively and dcmonstra-
lively thrusting in the face of the Rebel
Commissioners the abolition amendment
to the Constitution.
Mr. Lincoln does not desire peace; but he
docs desire to reconcile the people to a con-
tinuation of the war, so that he may have
less difficulty in raising men and money
The abolitioniSts, contractors and fat Office
holders who advise him want the war to
continue.
1t is folly to expect peace until the con-
trolling parties of both sections desire it
and that seems to be very great way Off
IVoedyicld Spirit If Dcmocracy.

after having voted for the war as 4 means

A Sad Death.

The Newark Adrocate records the death
of young lady, of Newark, Ohio from ac-
cidently swallowing thimble. Her name
was Maggie Elliott and on the evening pre-
vious TO her deceasc Maggie left her faith
cr's house, in company with her young as
sociates, for an evening visit at the resi-
dence ola neighbor. While amusing them
selves in Hunting the thimble," " Maggie
became posscssor of it and placing it in her
mouth to hide it from the others, accident
ly swallowed it. Every exertion by her
kind associates proved unavailing. She

The war 10 Go On.

Our readers will bear witness that when
there were any hopes of peace we did not
hesitate to say so, but the result Of the For
trcss Monroe conference and the disposi-
ton Of the Southern leaders, as shown by
the recent meetings in Richmond, settle the
question that the war is to 60 on with in
creasing bitterness, probably for years to
come. We are sanguine people, always
ready to discount the future; and our recent
military successes, together with the mani
fest despondency Of the rebels will, we fear
tend to raise expectations in the North
which can never be realized. If the tenn
per of these recent meetings in Richmond
give any idea of the state of feeling at the
South there is long weary and bloody war
before usyet, even though Charleston, Will
mington, and Mobile, aud the inland towns
of South Carolina should fall into posses
sion of the Union armies. We solomnly
warn the people of the North not to be toe
hopeful; there will be other drafts besides
that we are trying to fill, our taxes and fl
nancial burdens must be still further in
crca sed, and ten thousands Of our brother!
and sons will be murdered or manned be

was flux, which ended his life after twenty
days Of illness. Previous to his sickness he
had made no profession of religion; at his
special request several days previous to his
death he was visited by devoted christian
man in the Regiment There being no Chap
lain who sung and prayed with him and
conversed with him concerning his condition
and his prospects in future. II is hoped
that these means Of grace were blessed of
God to him. He seemed much strengthened
by them and calmly awaited his final
change, with hope and peace. He was great.
