The Peace Failure.

AS far as we are permitted to know any
thing of the results of the Peace Conference
held in Hampton Roads on Friday last. it
was failure-that is, it brought about no
change in the sentiments or conditions of
the parties to it by which peace is rendered
any nearer or more probable than before it
occurred. But it is questionable whether
we have been permitted to know all, and it
is by no means certain that the dispatches
which have come over the wires for the past
few days are authentic, any more than were
those which preceded them announcing the
fullest agreement between the parties and
the prospect of an early settlement. The
reports are conflicting, one announcing that
Secretary Seward freely declares the utter
hopelessness of getting peace through ne
gotiation, and another giving declaration
of Mr. Stanton that the conference had
opened the way to an early and satisfactory
adjustment while still another announces
that upon the main features, involving the
questions of separation and submission, the
rebel commissioners were not authorized to
give positive answers, and returned as if to
submit the matter to the rebel Government.
While it may be concluded, therefore,
from the information at hand, that nothing
satisfactory was accomplished, that should
not be taken as unquestionably the case
and, indeed, it is stated that in official cir
cles a good deal of anxiety is felt to hear
from Richmond, which would indicate that
something still remains to be done before
the end of this conference shall be reached.

The Bitterness of the Radicals.

The bitterness ofthe Radicals against LIN
COLIN for the entertaining of peace ovcrtures
is thus displayed by Senator. WADE, of Ohio
During the debate on the retaliation resolu-
ton, while Mr.. WADE was speaking about
Mr.. BLAIR's mission to Richmond, Mr..
JOHNSON asked how he came to go there.
Mr.. WADE replied:
I would like to know-yes, sir, | intend to
know if there is power in the United States
Senate, to be informed on that subject.
intend to know whyit was that any man was
permitted to go with impunity through our
lines, and confer with the arbitrator of the
Confederacy, and come back here, and go
again. Mr.. johnson said he went in Gov
ernment vessel the last time Mr.. Wade
responded: Yes, understand he went on
Government vessel He had no more
right to be on that vessel on mission to
hold communication with this arbitrator
and devil than he had to be on his road to
the lower regions in vehicle furnished by
the Government

A new and dangerous counterfeit is now

February, 1862, and is so we'll executed that
good judges might be deceived by it. Upon
close examination, however, the fraud may
be easily detected The spurious note is
smaller than the genuine one, and the color

FUNNY. The most laughabe scene we
ever witnessed in a court of justice took
place Tuesday evening. A man named
TAYLOR, of Coshocton county, whose testi-
mony betrayed his anxiety for the conviction

worse than any shanghai was ever afflicted
with, to almost every word This, coupled
with his various oddities and the addition of,

every word, provoked laughter all around,
from which his Honor, the Judge, could not
refrain. Mr.. TAYLOR may not have had
much practice as a witness, but he is the
making of a good one for cases in general, if
we'll trained.

Sherman's OVementS--AnI Item
which Has not yet Appeared in

We have learned, through the papers, of
Sherman movements from Savannah on
the 18th ult., but the following item which
we receive, through private letter written
by soldier to friend, has not yet reached
us The letter. dated the 2lst from Savan-
nah, says: "The 18th army corps left here
three or four days ago for Charleston and
when they got into the rice swamps the
rebels opened the flood gates upon them,
and put them in about ten feet water, some
below it, and some above in tops of trees. -
There they now are; those in trees without
arms or rations, and how they are to get
away is more than | am able to understand. "
