For nearly two long weary weeks
lave | been surrounded by impossible
arrlers Of snow. Talk Of the cold
weather in northern Iowa, if you would
'ryhten the old women ana children
r. this section, bat t, ne there is nothing
more horrid than being blockodcd, to
s,:se or two farm-llouse5 for several days
IS mountains Of STOW, slcet and ice, |
came to this place yesterday with 4
v:ew Of leaving for Washington to 80
l;clt old Abe for foreign appointment
20 any land where draft; are unknown
-a'a:y no object but find the Sunberry
4 E,ic Il. Il. still nearl y blockadel.
4 train is expected along to-day some
time on which hope to make an exit
from northern Pa.
The runners of peace neg'tiasions be-
Ing entertained and encouraged by the
administration is j,.fu'ly received by
the knaves and Inmates VIII voted the
democratic party traitors for entertain
ing thoughts of peace, induced by ne
.osiation. The difficulty seems to be
Ina: the dellls,l portion of tue conmsl
,.i:y we're led TO believe that the re
election Of Mr.. Lincoln would 50 dis
hcarten the South, as that they would
:l.ron doSn their arms, and sue for
peace upon any terms. Instead ofthis
Icing true, /. is ROW thought by even
;:lese i.lu lsd men .ha: the alnlnissra-
lion will offer I'll, south nothing that
eau possibly accept, ana tina: draft
-.Eter draft nuss follow to conpel them
to accept !Ae great object Of tho war-
freedom for their slaves and lespotism
f.r themselves. It is certain that the
mission Of the Blairs can result in
hothins like SUCCESS uale 8 their au,
.ltority be such as to offer te. ms Of
peace and re unlon, which il rejected
by the confederate government will
produce acounter revolution amon, the
people. To do this something besides
confiscation and death to the whites:
with freedom to the blacks, mus: be
the basis Of that proposition. But
should the federal administration on
s:le contrary off.r the Confeleracy the
Union with tbs constitution Of the rev
dictionary patriots as its bas:s, guaran-

masses Of tho sonfederacy. A counter
revolution that would shck the confed
crate government to its foundations
would 10 the rcsal., should the propo
sisioa be rejsc:e'l. Oar present con
s.itution has been adopted by the pei
pie of that section without scarcely al
alteration, with what conf lencs then, o
success, might the administration a
Washington Offer them Wat they have
with such great uaan'mity aoptel al
most word for word, as the basis O
their own government Sa:h an ap

stron gest men Of the republican part
with whom | have conysrsea, would r.

eternal hills because based up,a RICH
and justice.
Ike people Of this section are
great trepiiat;on at the prospect Of a
Immediate draft. They arc resortin
t, every inmaginablo shift to avert i
terrible responsibility. Men who,
