New YORK, Feb. 9.-The Richmond Err
oati''e, OF the 9Th, says submission, abol-
lshment and reconstruction were the only
terms that could be got out Of Lincoln and
Seward by the Peace Commissioners, hence
the South has only to fight. It says this
result Will have the effect to unite the peo-
pie more closely aud strongly than ever
II defeated and destroyed, those who sur.
vive will have nothing worse to submit to
than is now demanded by the enemy.
The Sentinel says the South has been in.
suited. It regards the passage of the Con-
stitutional amendment as an outrage, and

the South and robbing its citizens, Lin.
coins propositions weie that the South
could lay down their arms and dispose Of
their homes and he would appoint for the
Confederate States, Marshals, District At
torneys and Judges for our Courts: and
that in executing the Confiscation law, he
would DO 1t AS leniently AS possible: that
he would treat neither with the Confeder-
ate states nor any State separately: that
he will listen to nothing short of uncon-
ditional submission to the Constitution and
laws passed under it; that the SLAYER =
question was disposed Of and not now to
be discussed.
Gov. Smith. Of Virginia, calls meeting
to respond to L;ncOin's answer to the rebel
commissioners.
Tie Sentinel says let Us put our heel OF,
Lincoln'e insolent insult, and return def
ance to his menances.

individuals subject to pains aud penalties

rely upon very liberal use of the power
confided to him, to remit those pains and

During the Conference, the proposed

A GOLD PLACER IN A PAUPER'S HUr.-
The Syracuse Journal tells story about

days Of the scarcity Of gold. For several
years the women, mother and daughter.

Ave year old boy Of the daughter carried

them out among the boys for apples and
pocket-knives. When the loss of the

Delane, who, from information given by
the little boy, proceeded in haste to hunt
up the recipients of the coins, and to repos.
sess them. This was the work of sorne
hours, and Of no little difficulty. It trans
PRED meanwhile, that these pauper women
were the owners Of between thirteen and
fourteen hundred dollars in gold, This
occurrence has created much interest. and
been the subject of general discussion in
the locality where it took place. Itappears
that these women, while thus maintnined
by public charity, were hard working and
industrious. and had succeeded in accu-
mulating quite sum Of money. This was
al! in gold, aud the "pocket' or bag in
which It was kept, was the one tho little
boy had found concealed in an old clock.
and had taken to school, where he had 40
freely distributed the coin.
