YANKEES. The Southern people have
always called Northerners Yankees, but
Northerners never accept the name. All
the people in the middle States spurned it,
and referred the Seeker for Yankees to the
regions Of down East, commencing with
Connecticut. Connecticut sent him on to
Massachusetts,, Vermont, or Rhode Island ;
they to New Hampshire, and New Hamp-
shire to Maine. But the war has changed
all that We are all Yankees now, and ac-
eept the name; and it is a very good one

The g. News" Theory of the Peace
Conference.

The Ne,cs, a rebel organ in New York,
has the following theory of the Peace Con-
ference:
We submit our solution of the mystery
to the public, and are content to await un-
til time-a brief time it will be-shall
prove our theory correct. The Southern
Commissioners crossed our lines armed
with the certainty of the recognition of
the Confederacy by the Emperor Napoleon
Immediately after the South shall have de-
creed emancipation. They came to offer
to the North the privilege of recognizing
their independence in advance of the
French Emperor, that the necessity of
Southern alliance with France might be
avoided, and the two sections be united in
vlndication of republicanism on this con-
tinent. Mr.. Blair's visit to Richmond was
permitted and encouraged by Mr.. Lincoln
because the purpose of the Emperor Ma
poleon mad become known to the Admins
tration, and they appreciated the necessity
OF an Immediate compromise with the
South, or prolongation of war under cir
cuhstances that would insure the independ-
ence of the Confederacy upon terms en-
forced by the fleets and armies of FOREIGN
powers. The conference at Fortress Mon.
roe related chiefly to these threatened
complications, and the question now is
whether the South will achieve indenend-
ence by the armed Intervention Of far.

cegnition.

A Talk with Charles Sumner.

The Edinburgh Scotsman gives the fol-
lowing from the diary of Scottish gen.
tleman who has recently visited the Unit
ed States:
Met Mr.. Charles Summer at dinner. He
has evidently a great contempt for
Seward; says that he knew nothing of
international law when he came in
to office, and that when an awkward
case arises, he never thinks of in
quiring into it until a formal demand
is made for reparation. Mr.. Sumner said
he had objected strongly to Cassius Clay s
appointment to Russia, but that Lincoln
and Seward had urged shin so strongly
about it that at last he had agreed not to
take an active part in opposing the nomi-
nation. He says Gortschakoff complains
bitterly because Clay will write to him in
French. Gortschakoff understands Eng
lish perfectly, but can make nothing Of
Oassius Clay's French. .....

FROM NORTH CAROLINA.
The Movement Of General Schofield
-.. Towards Wilmington.

New YORK, Feb. '17.-Additional de-
tails of the movement towards Whining
ton last Saturday show that the troops en-
gagged were exclusively those of General
Terrys command, but the operations were
directed in person by bis superior officer,
Gen. Schofeld.
They were most successful, and what at
first appeared to be only reconnaissance
in force terminated in permanent advance,
the Union lines being moved forward two
miles after considerable severe skirmish-
ing. The new ground was held and works
Immediately thrown up on it almost as
strong as those in front to which the rebels
fell back. The Union casualties during
the day were only about ten killed and
fifty wounded.
The Iribune's Fort Fisher correspond
emit says the rebel position in front of
Wilmington is next to impregnable. Their
right rests on Cape Fear river, and con-
sists of breastworks 10 feet in height, with
ditch and abattis in front.
Gen. Schofeld brought with him when
he assumed command large force of
veterans, who were at once set to work.

Whisky and Newspapers.
From the British Standard.

From the British Standard :, .... ...' ... ..-.
A glass of whisky, says an exchange, is
manufactured from perhaps dozen grains
of mashed corn, the value of which Is too
small to be estimated. A pint of this
mixture sells at retail for one shilling, and
if good brand is considered well worth
the money. It is drunk off in a minute
or too; it fires the brain, rouses the pas
sion, sharpens the appetite, and deranges
and weakens the physical system. It is
gone, and swollen eyes, parched lips, and
aching head are its followers. On the
same sidebOard upon which this Is served
lies newspaper which costs about two
cents. This is covered with hundred
thousand types; it brings intelligence
from the four quarters of the globe It has
in it's early-printed columns all that is
strange or new at home; it tells you the
state of the markets; gives accounts of
the war the execution of the last muir.
derer, the last steamboat explosion or dis
aster, articles on philosophy, government,
religion, &C., and yet, for all this. the
newspaper costs less than the glass of
grog, the juice of few grains of corn.
1t is no less strange than true that there
is large portion of the community who
think the n;juice cheap and the news
paper dear, and the printer has hard work
to collect bis dimes, when the liquor deal
ers are paid cheerfully. How is this? Is
the body better paymaster than thehead?
Are things of the moment more priced
than things Of the future? Is the tran
sient trickling Of the stomach of more con-
sequence than the Improvement of the
mind, and the information that is essen
tial to rational being? If this had its
real value, would not newspaper be worth
many pints of whisky? 30

THE DRAFT.
Gov. Curtin to Provost Marshal
.RlrATa General Fry s%sslA

Gov Curtin, of. Pennsylvania, is aout in
a." short, sharp, and decisive "epistle to
that, extraordinary arithmetioian, Provost
Marshal General Fry for his excessivequo-
.tas. The governor, whose loyalty OF
course nobody can question, gives Fry to
understand very plainly that, while Penn
sylvania will comply with all just demands
upon her, she is not inclined to submit to
anything unreasonable. He concludes as
follows: 7'.-D- - I'd.
Sir, you may not have been heretofore ap-
prised of the fact that your subordinates are
wholly lisregarding the act of Oath of Februa-
~, 1864. They are proceeding in open and
direct violation OF 1t, and are thus, creating
naturally great confusion and uncertainty
hand that although q three years man counts
only as a one year man towards the quota on
which he volunteers, yet that he shall be
counted as three one year men towards the
quota on future call. This is directly in the
teeth of the law. On the other hand they are
syphering out a deficiency on the Last call, by
counting three one year men as only equivalent
to one three years man, which is equally against
law. e.tyits -al L SCI ~.
Our people know that the government re-
quires more men. They are willing to fur
nish them, heavy as the burden has become
on the industrial population. Let the require.
ments be made in the clear and proper shape
which the law provides for, and it will be
cheerfully complied with. But it is hardly to
be tolerated that your subordinates should be
permitted longer to pursue the system of sub
stituting, for the law, an eccentric plan of
their own.
Sir-On behalf of the freemen of this com.
monwealth, who have always given cheerful
and hearty support to your government in the
prosecution Of this war, it is my duty to insist,
and do insist, that you enforce upon your
subordinates that obedience to the law which
you owe, as well as they and all of US. 1t is
of evil example it tends to enfeeble, nay, to
destroy, the just power of the government,
that you should suffer your officers to treat
with open contempt any acts of Congress, and
especially those which you have yourself ap.
proved, and which regulate matter of such
deep and delicate moment as the enforcing a
draft for the military service Relying hearth
~ on your wisdom and justice to set right what
has thus been going wrong, and to compel
henceforth on the part of all proper respect
for an obedience to the laws of the land, 40
am, sir, very respectfully,

nouAy VVu VA d NOW 8cAs
In debate in the House the other day
on LINCoLN's negotiations with STEPHENS
& Co., FKRNANDY said:
Rumor says the negotiation has failed. It
was to be regretted. But if it tailed in conse-
quence of the indisposition of the rebel author
tiles to return to allegiance and duty on the
basis of the common Constitution, they might
as well know, so far as he represented the
peace sentiment, that he would not sustain
them in their position. He was opposed to the
war, because he was opposed to dissolution;
and it had been one of his complaints against
the Administration that so far from making
overtures, it had prevented propositions Of
peace by denying the admittance of commits
sioners from the Southern government But
if the door had now been thrown open by the
President, and if the answer to that was that
they would accept recogni ion and separation,
and nothing else, then he desired to say, with
his humble efforts, he should aid the conquer
ing armies of his country to obtain by force
what it has been unable to obtain by peace.
When FERNANDO WooD has come thus
far, it is safe enough to assume that the
rear ranks and the stragglers are moving
to the front and are ready to make solid
line of battle for the Union.

To the Editor Of the Pioneer:
Since my last letter things in our camp
have been rather quiet. The men of the

in building winter quarters, and a very
large detail for fatigue duty, to unload
stores, &c., from steamers, Is called for al
most daily; 30 that we have been kept do

One man of the regiment private John
Newman, of Company b has passed from
this into better world. Newman was an
estimable young man, and died victim to
that scourge Of soldiers-chronic diarrhsa.
For the past ten days we have been iy-
ing on half, quarter, and sometimes on NO
rations at all. For two days the boys
lived on one pound of corn per day, and
for most of the time on corn meal. An
occasional feed of "sow's belly" was
"thrown in," and the living has been, to
say the least, decidedly hard. Limited ra-
tons are now being issued again, and it is
to be hoped that the worst has passed.

In all the Minnesota papers which have
arrived lately, we are glad to see glowing
and mostly correct accounts of the bravery
of the Minnesota troops before Nashville.
Now, far be it from me to propose to de-
tract from any ones glory, but the truth
should be always adhered to. For in
stance, all know; that to the First and Sec
ond brigades OF Macarthur 3 division belong
the credit of taking two of the enemy's
batteries on the 18th of December. Again,
all who know anything of the facts know
that to the First bigade (McMillens), in
which the Tenth is, belongs the greater
share of the glory in the charge of the
10th. If l remember rightly, the First
is the only brigade mentioned by Gen.
Smith in his congratulatory order for its
gallantry. Ionly mention this to let your
readers know that the Tenth did something
on tho occasion referred to, and that all
the brave and daring men and officers are
not confined to any one Minnesota regi-
ment. CAMP KETTLE

veterans, some of whom are serving q
second enlistment and are still in the ranks,
to come across q sooty fellow with the
chevrons ofgai Sergeant on his sleeves.
This is peculiarly offensive to our, Western
soldiers, and they have not avoided giving
evidence of their 'displeasqre. That moth
ing serious has occurred is fortunate, and
attributable, perhaps, to the fact that the
apothesis of the negro soldier in the South

The Secretary of War has directed
that western soldiers paroled at Annap-
oils, Md, whose term of service has ex-
PRED, may report to the Adjutant Gen
erals of their respective States to be mus
tered out, and those whose terms have
not expired may report at Benton Bar
racks, st. Louis, instead of at Annapolis,

louehs. Much needless expense and many
miles of travel will be saved our boys by
the PRONUNCIATION of this order,
