ThesumOPed Peace NegOtEsfions.
The air is again flied with runors Of
peace. The New York World, slwsysfer-
tile in the invention of sensational news,
is again prolific of a neW litter of peace
rumon News comes from Washington,
also that adds favor TO the Worlds ru-
moFs BY saying that a call is out to make
Lee dictator, depose Davis and the rebel
Congress, and surrender 70 the enemy.
Take these reports ali in sll, and they
smack strongly of q grand bear combina-
ton on Wall street to speculate hugely in
gold. Gold had, for several days prior to
the birth of these sensation reports, exhib-
tied symptoms of weakness, possibly pre-
cursor Of the great fall that the new COM
bination may endesvor TO effect. When
anything of an authoritative nature is
done, it is not improbable that the country
at large will receive some intimstions of if
from Washington that will be more satis-
factory than mere sensation rumors to feed
feverish restlessness of the people. We
are therefore not prepared solsmnly tc
discuss the character Of the terms said tc
be offered to the rebels. OF this we can
rest assured, that no more liberal terms
could be offered. The past is to be entire

The Late Uneasiness OF mF. Seward
over the Richmond Sentinel editorial.


over the RIchmOnd Sentinel editorial.
From the Richmond Sentinel, Jan.
By the news from the United States it
appears that Seward hss fOnnd a mares
nest in some remarks inaccurately ascribed
to this paper, and even to President Da-
Wis. These remarks, taken from the En-
guirer, must, indeed, have greatly alarm
ed him, thst he should make such ridicu-
lous hssts to anticipate their natural Of
feet. We suppose that England and
France, if they give them tithe of the
credit which Mr.. Seward does, will be far
more likely to consider them proofs Of
resolution than Of submission, and evidence
that there is no sacrifce which we would
not be willing to make sooner than yield
to association with our detested enemies.
We have no doubt that an alliance on our
part with England or France is Stewards
constant dread; because such an alli-
snce would be SO msnifestly TO the inter
est Of either Of those nations, and, therefore,
so natural and at the same time SO decisive
of the fate of Yankeedom. In every
yRunting word which the enemy utteIs
those nations are menaeed with the power
and the vengeance of the United States
so soon as that power is restored; and in
deed, there is obviously no security for
either Canada or Mexico but in the seps-
ration and antagonisn of the United and
Confederate States. Conscious of this,
Seward is seized with trepidation at the
least sign ofadvanes for an alliance te-
tween us and Europe, and hence rushes
forward to forestall the effect.
Whether or not we sre ia belligerent,"
Mr.. Seward can easily ascertain by inqui-
~ through General Grant. Perhaps
Porter and Butler, too, can give some very
recent evidence on that point, which will
20 far to open his eyes. The very steamer
which carries out his nonsense, will, if it be
not already gone, carry out the news that
the greatest armada ever set ahoat has
been whipped back with heayy losses from
Wilmington. Does not that look like a
"belligerent2 2" But Mr.. Seward under
stands the matter well enough, and if is
because he does so understand it, and is
alarmed at it, that he is so anxious to pre-
vent others from understanding it. His
eagerness betrays him. England and
France have been dsllying with their in
terest in not having made with Us an hon
orRble alliance long ago on fair and equal
terms.
Seward is conscious of this, and is con-
stRntly apprehending that they will at last
open their eyes. 1t has required all his
chicsns and bluster to keep them still but
SO lively are his spprehensions, and so
nicely does the balance tremble, that it
needs only few casual lines from a Con-
fsderate newspaper to throw him into
an agony of alarm. He is afraid England
and France willnot be proof against bid,
and that even the show of one, though
but the passing conceiE of an individual,
may tend to arouse them from their pro-
carious quietude, and put them in motion.
In all this there is hope. Seward Is un-
easy and alarmed, and Seward knows.

missourf Free state.

The vote for immediate emancipation
in the Stste of Missouri by the State Con-
Yention, on Wednesday, is an event Of the
greatest consequence, and opens up fu-
ture career Of greatness and prosperity
such as Missouri has never known.
Missouri was settled in 1868, and ad-
mitted into the Union in 1921. Its popu-
lGtion in 1860 was !, 1872, 2,O12, and IFS sre1
was $3.50 square miles. Since the be-
ginning Of the rebellion Missouri has been
in very distracted condition, many of Its
sble-bodied people having gone South,
while large numbers fed to the surround
ing free States, glad to 60 anywhere to es-
cape the terrible guerrilla warfare that
prevailed al over the Slate. On the LIST
of July, 1888, the sovereign Convention,
which had exercised the legislative powers
of the State during the years 1881 and
1882, passed an ordinance Of emancipa-
ton, 10 take place on the 4th Of July,
1870. Pro7iSos were, however, introduced,
retaining in slavery for life slaves over
forty years Of age; those under twelve
until they arrived At tWenty-three and
those Of all other ages until 1875. These
conditions were eminently unsatisfactory
to the radicals, who, in the recent State
election, triumphed by overwhelming ma
jorities. Accordingly, in convention as
sembled, they hsFe decided that thereafter,
in this State, THERE SHALL BE NEITHER
SLAVERY HoR nSvoLUETARY sERFITuDE,

Oil Matters in TrumbuII COunfysa.-Re-
neWed Excitement in Mecca, How
land, BraeeyIIIe and Newton.
Within q few weeks there has been a
great deal of excitement in Mecca. New
York, Boston and Philadelphia companies
have been organized and deep wells are
going down with evidences of success.
During the past three years between fifty
and one hundred thousand barrels have
been taken out Of Mecca from a verysman
area of territory. Between thirty and
forty wells are pumping and yielding from
one to three barrels day, at the depth of
from fifty to seventy feet. The Phillips
Brothers, of Oil Greek, have leased and
bought considerable land and are sinking
two deep wells. Business is waking up
again and there promises TO be great in
terest in Mecca by spring. The Warren
Chronicle of Wednesday thus speaks of
affairs in that section:
There is a quite perceptl6le revival of
interest in oil territory in Mecca. Real
estate is changing hands at high figures,
and the tendency!is upward.
Considerable quantities of land has been
sold and leased in Newton and Brsceville
for oil speculation. A New York compa-
ny has invested largely in lands in these
townships. The businessof leasing is &C
tive.
Oil has been discovered on the farm of
James Kennedy, in Rowland. A well is
being put down, and at the depth of forty
feet there is q fine show of beautiful oil.
The question is yet to be determined
whether oil can be obtained in remunera-
tive quantities. Landholders and specu-
lators are getting feverish in that section.
Who knows but that the oil resources Of
the Musquito Valley may eclipse anything
yet discovered. We shall have no objec-
tons
The market value of Mecca oil IL about
five times as much as the Pennsylvania

a Galvanized Yankee BRtf alton Lei
Loose in Georgia.

The following is from the Richmond
Wing of JANUARY G
a letter from 50 LADY, in the Augusta
ckrozEiele states that on the 18th ult., two
hundred Yankees arrived st Msyfeld, q
village in Middle Georgia. They had
taken the oath and were going on to Cen
ersl Hoods army, but, being nearly
starved, the major in command turned
them loose at the depot and told them to
get something to est. They went of in
quick time and scattered in every direc-
tion, killing hogs and going into ladies'
houses, demanding something to eat They
went around every farm. Some of them
we're seen fifteen miles from Mayheld, and
in the lady's opinion they can never be
picked up again.
The major went TO Sparta, fourteen
miles from the depot, and the csptsin to
Augusta.
The whole affair is an outrage and ought
to be investigated.
The officer was offered rstions for the
men if he would not disband them; but
he preferred to turn them loose among the
helpless womsn and children.

During the forty years from 1920 to 1861

During the forty years from 1920 to 1860
the total number of immigrants amounted,
therefore, to 5,062,4l4. The annual aver
age of immigration during these forty
years is l2856O, and the average number
during the last decade, from 1850 to 1860,
270,763. The number who landed in the
port of New York alone during the year
1864 exceed, therefore, the average of an
nusl immigration in the United States
from 1920 70 1860 snd even that from 1840
to 1850, and the ratio of increase indicates
that we are rapidly approaching the high
est annual figure ever reached.
Tho increase of immigration since 1861
has bean steady, and the tendency may,
therefore, be said to be again upward. If
for the remaining six years of the decade,
from 1860 to 1870, the number should not
exceed that reached in 1864 (lS5, ,20s) tho
aggregate number Of immigrants landed
in the port of New York alone would DO,
for the decade, 1893 514. If L should IL
crease at the same rate as from 1868 TO
1864, (about 300,0OQ,) the port of New
York alone would furnish, during the de-
cade from 1860 to 1879, an addition to our
population Of about S,40O, 900.
There are reasons for believing that the
last estimate is far from being too large.
The unparalleled advantages which the
United States afford TO the industrious
workingmen of every Europesn country
have never been set before them in so clear
light as since the outbreak Of the rebel
lion. The newspaper and other accounts
of our war have excited throughout Eu-
rope an interest in, and a corresponding
acquaintance with, American affairs such
ss have never before existed. That there
are in Europe tens of millions of people
who would vastly improve their condition
the moment they landed on the soil Of the
United States, no one who will take the
trouble to compare the wages of labor and
the cost of living here and in Europe CAL
for moment question. All that was
needed 10 dispose these masses in favor o.
speedy immigration was either better
knowledge of American affairs, or the
supply of the necessary means Of trans
/ portation.

Prices death, from paralysis, which is an
nounoedt.i in the Richmond papers. He was
the sblest and mos! influential rebel COM
nandor west of the Mississippi. His last
campaign in Missouri extinguished all hope
of redeeming his State from Yankee des-
potism, and doubtless hastened his death.
