At Home.

Hon. L. r. Critchfield, who has for the
last two years filled the responsible office of
Attorney General of Ohio with profit to the
State, satisfaction to the people and honor
to himself, is now at home, where he will
devote himself exclusively to the practice of
his profession. Ohio has never had two
better officers than w. w. Armstrong, late
Secretary of State, and Attorney General
Critchfield. They have been constantly
subjected to annoyances from the Abolition
cormorants about Columbus, and to abuse
from Abolition newspapers, but they have
sustained themselves against every attack.
Mr.. Critchfield was once called upon to
shew up Davy Tod, which he did in such
style as subjected that distinguished per-
sonage, then Governor, to the contempt OF
Democrats and the pity of Abolition friends
More recently the two together have ex-
posed to the public gaze the meanness Of
Governor Brough in the appointment OF
State Agent in New York, in which he
violated law, justice, decency and every
thing else.-Holn,es County Farmer.

Tho probability Of Peace.

A Washington special on Saturday tele-
graphed The Cincinnati Enquirer:
"Those who are in confidence at the White
House say that Mr.. Lincoln Is confident
that Mr.. Blair's present mission to Rich
mond will result in the appointment OF COM
missioners from both Federal and Confed-
crate Governments; that peace will surely
follow within a short period. Such also
appears to be the opinion of majority of
the Democratic Congressman"
On the other hand a special on Sunday
telegraphed The Cincinnati Commercial:
ssThe peace rumors have all subsidized. AS
more time is afforded for inquiring into
them, It must be confessed that they are
found to have little foundation. Blairs sec
ond mission is as unofficial as the first one,
and is regarded by the President, in his
conversation with Congressman, as possess
ing no significance. He is willing, how
ever, that Blair should be satisfied of his
belief that he can pave the way for nego-
stiation."
Under the same date in yet another dis
patch we have this statement:
"a letter says 1t is generally believed that
the Administration has determined to pur-
sue a more conservative and conciliatory
course, on the ground that the Confederacy
has reached point in its downward career
when the true policy Of our Government Is
to temper justice with mercy
sas We hope this latter statement is true; be-
cause iftrue, we may reasonably look fol
