. A Cheap and Nm.ty Peace,

The Ohio State Journal Is exceedingly ap-
prehensive that there may be "a cheap
and nasty Peace patched up. 1t is very
singular that any Peace that viii give per-.
manent tranquility to the country should
be considered a nasty Peace" and it is al
20 very singular that II Peace were con-
cIuded now, after the War has been three
years and nine months longer than it was
in the outset proclaimed 1t would last, that
itlshould be denominated ~ cheap Peace
Go ask the poor War widow, who has lost
her busband IN the War, whether such a
Peace would he a . cheap Peace."5 Go ask
the wife and the poor children Of the man
who Is serving as private In the army
whether Peace that viii bring home to
them the absent loved one would be "a
nasty Peace Go ask the man who is tax
ed heavily for War purposes, whether be
would consider % Peace cheap" that
would arrest the further increase Of his
taxes. It's not true that the people viii
regard Peace, ifit shall now be restored
through the exercise Of humanity and gem
efosity by President LINCOLN as ''acheap
and nasty Peace 4" but they win rain down
onhis head a very delage Of blessings for 1t.

For the Consideration of the 1n-
-sE'm" tense War Men. fr cTT

The following from FoRNEY's Press of the
3Oth OF March we commend to reconsider
alton of that class of men who want no eff
fort made, by the exercise Of wise states
manship, to restore Peace. The Press has
given to the War and to the measures of
the Administration as effective support as
any journal in the country:
The comments of some of the newspapers
upon the suggestions of The Ne,o York Tri-
bune, and other Union journals, on the ques-
ton of peace, are very curious. The rabid
anti-war writers, who have always steadily
insisted that Greeley was 'for war to the
knife, and the knife to the hilt" now de-
nounce him as insincere when he is giving
the whole weight of his character to the
good work. On the other hand, some of
those who once hailed him and his paper as
entitled to saintship and canonization now
upbraid him as false to his party o. or to
what is their idea OF orthodoxy. The anti
war commentators, protesting to be the ex-
elusive Peace party, are not willing that
anybody should advocate peace but them
selves; and the newspaper tire-eaters
are ready to cruelty every Union man
who is not willing to yell "Hav-
ocl" and keep the dogs of war forever
on the scent. The angry gentlemen in the
last category should go and talk to Grant
and Sherman before abusing everybody
who thinks President Lincoln's efforts at
reconciliation and his offers of amnesty en-
titled to all honor and worthy of repetition
on all occasions. We think they would find
that the fighting Generals of the. Union
army, even as they strike at the rebellion,
wish God speed to the Presidents policy.
It is notorious that both these great chiefs
frequently express, and have repeatedly
published. their commiseration of the suf-
ferings of the Southern people; and this
while proclaiming their scorn and indigna-
ton at the conduct of the leaders. Indeed,
the men who have given the hardest blows
at these leaders have spoken the kindest
words for the betrayed masses of the South.
We submit that it would not be bad in
vestment if the War men who don't fight
would borrow little wisdom from such,
Peace men as Grant and Sherman, the men
WHO do nQlJ. = ~-

Finally, Richmond has fallen into our
possession. To obtain possession of this
city has cost us immensely in life and treas
ure; and, perhaps, at no previous period
was the fighting more severe than on FRI
dsy, Saturday and Sunday. Atpresent we
cannot form anything like an approximate
estimate of the loss Of life to either army.
Undoubtedly, 1t has been immense, and
must cause deep gloom to fall upon the
country, after the Joy occasioned by the sue
cess Of our arms shall subside. Gen. GRANT
estimates the number Of prisoners he has
taken in the late movement to which we
are indebted for Richmond, at probably
1900, and the number of guns at 80.
Viewed from military stand point,
GRAsTs success has been grand; and if
President LINCOLN shall now show as much
statesmanship as GRANT has shown Cen
eralship, the War may he said to be at an
end. IL can not be otherwise than that this
victory win fasten the conviction in the
minds of the Southern people, that 1t is
useless for them to protract their resistance
with a hope Of achieving the heindependence
of the so-called Southern Confederacy. In
the very nature Of things, it must cause
heavy dependency to settle down on them,
and predispose them to entertain reasonable
proposals Of ofreconciliation. They arenow in
that frame of mind which will enable Pres
ident LINCOLN to bring to the country the
blessings Of Peace, If he shall issue Pro-
clamation distinctly profering generous
terms to those who have taken up arms
against the Government II they will throw
down their arms and return to their duty
as members Of the Union. ~.
There Is not q particle OF need for more
battlss--for more slaughterings and the
consequent squandering of money. The
prompt exercise of a wise craftsmanship
viii render 1t unnecessary. IT. however,
the President shall accept for his rule of
action, the vindictive utterances Of the in
tensely fanatical and intolerant In his par
ty, the work of slaughtering is likely to be
continued, yet compelling thousands more
70 offer up their lives needlessly on the bat
tie field. Under such circumstances, the
sum Of human misery must be yet further
increased, and hepublic Indebtedness in
creased to further extent. We hope that
President LrNcoLE will not return to
Washington until the people have been as
sured that this unnatural and exhaustive
War Is at an end. ~.

Marrow Escape Of Queen victoria.

On Sunday last, says The Court Journal,
Her Majesty had most miraculous escape
from being crushed to death by the falling
of huge elm tree in the Home Park. Her
Majesty was taking an airing on her favor
ite little Scotch pony, and proceeding
through the tall avenue of elms at Windsor
known as Queen Elizabeth's ride, the pony
being led by gillie, and groom following
providentially, the servant observed one Of
Her Majesty. The groom called out loud
ly, and Her Majesty, made aware of the
danger by the timely alarm, escaped being
crushed beneath the tree by few yards
only.

/ A "LoYAL" gentleman, writing from New
Orleans to The Boston Traveller, thus speaks
of the Louisiana legislature:
'For several months they have been sit
ting here, but have accomplished almost
nothing. 1t is really amusing to read the
insinuations that are continually thrown
out by the city press in regard to the private
and public character OF that august body.
Complaint has been made that it was diff
ficult to obtain a quorum, and the sergeant
alarms could not find the members"
The Legislature is composed of New Eng
land philanthropists and converted seces
sionists. In all the corruption Of the coun-
try there Is none which reaches deeper and
is more shameless than that which prevails
In the administration of affairs In Louisiana
The example of Butler has been closely
followed, and officials have regarded their
offices In that State as merely sanctions ol
license and, opportunities for plunder.-

that city but one-sixth of her cargo for free

sixths of her cargo was for sale on account
Of the owners ofthe ship and certain Boston
