The Herald's Washington correspond.

The mission of Blair to Richmond was
not, as has been generally supposed, an
entire failure, but that it resulted in fully
disclosing the fact that many of the rebel
chiefs are desirous of peace and are viii.
ling to submit to much more reasonable
terms than their newspaper organs would
lead us to suppose; but that all are SO
jealous aud watchful of each other that
no one dares to make an advance for fear
of being made the victim of some despe-
rate aud relentless factioG.


Another correspondent says We need
not be surprised to soon hear of terms for
peace IN proelamations of the Governors 9
of Georgia aud North Carolina.


The Tribune's special says the only
new developments as to the Blair mission
is reported by two members of the House
who dined with him. Although they are
Democrats they state that Mr.. Blair said
that jeff Davis advised him TO effect the
passage of the constitutional amendment

that the hope of being able yet to save

The Southern correspondents of class
of Northern journals are engaged in
vigorous conspiracy to establish dis,
trust in the Northern mind of the public
feeling at the South One day our peo-
pie are represented as cruel to the liberia
ted negroes Another day the few cleo
tions that now and then come off are de-
clared to 90 overwhelmingly for seces-
sionists, the whole body Of the people
peTjuTing themselves by gulping down
Union oaths and voting in mass for
wool-dyed rebels These are but samples
of the gross Misrepresentation with
which every issue of class Of journals
is filed


1t is hardly worth while to attempt
refutation of these calumnies They are
designed to serve political object and
they are employed on that old principle
of party warfare, that "a lie well stuck
TO is as good as the truth"


One remark, however, ought to be
made There never was time when
such falsehoods were more inappropriate
or unfounded The South, as one man,is
renewing its allegiance to the Union
The people are acting in good faiti
They have no partisan motive OF thou 1T

They are voting very little and when
they vote, they select honest and good

to old or new party affiliations


1t is, therefore, a SANDER upon these
people to impute to them any spirit of
partisanship in their present condition

Dear Brethren The events of the
last few nenths havei placed both the
Church and the country in greatly alter
ed circumstances, and hence il becomes
necessary to adapt ourselves to our
altered relations Our hope of obtain
ing distinct nationality as people has
been frustrated land the Providence of
God seems to have ordained that we
shall again be united in civil compact
with our former associates of the North.
The stars and strip again wave over
us as in former days, and it is now our
national flag, and should be respected
accordingly. We have with our very
inadequate means fought through
bloody war 7 but have faa length sheeu
overwhelmed by superior numbers and
have been compelled to Weld. Our
armies have fought brayely, and we havs
lost no honor in the conflict, and now
that the struggle is over let us at once.
and resolutely, apply ourselves to the
peaceful avocations Of life. Let the
young men Of the country now return to
their much loved homes, seek to engage
the earliest moment possible in some
honest business, and by all means avoid
all temptations 70 idleness. Let all our
paroled soldiers carefully avoid all con-
cern in bushwhacking and guerrilla war
fare; these are wong in principle and
! prac tice, and whatever seeming apology
there might have been for the practice
during the war, there can certainly be
nouenow. It becomes psfall now to
seek, By practical means, to promote
the return of peace and'good neighbor-
/ hood among the various sections az the
\ United States Let us strive, as far as
practicable, to forget the wrongs which
we have suffered, and earnestly address
ourselves to the task of reconstructing
the government and promoting its peace
and unity. The broodiug. over orr al
tered fortunes, and making them the
4 theme of conversation, will tend greatly
to increase our bitterness of feeling, and
drive from our hearts that peace of God
4 without which our religion is a mere
tinkling cymbal There are among ne
at various points, Federal soldiers, who
so far as I have learned, deport them
selves in a very orderly manner; let us
not by any action Of ours infuencet them
TO a different course of conduct, but let
us extend to them all the conrtesies o.
life; invite them to our churches, thai
they may mingle with you in the ser.
vices of religion, for, doubtless, many
of them, before they left their homes
were members of the church and con-
sistsnt Christians Let such feel a
home with you in the house of God
And finally, If you wish to live quie
and peaceable lives in all goodness ant
! honesty before Coo, lit is our duty Il
pray earnestly and constantly to Coo
that BE may give to our rulers wisdou
and integrity that they may be able d

GOOD ADVICE TO YOUNG Wo-
MEN.-Trust not to uncertain riches,
but prepare yourselves for every
emergency in life. Learn to work, and
not depend upon servants to make
your bread sweep your floors and
darn your own stockings. Above all
things, do not esteem lightly those
Young men who sustain themselves
and their aged parents by the work
of their hands, while you care for
and receive into your company those
lazy, idle poppinjays, who never lift
a finger to help themselves as .long
as they can keep body and soul TO-
getber, and get sufficient to live in
fashion. If you are wise you will
look at the subject as we do; and
when you are old enough to become
wives, you will prefer the honest
mechanic, with not a cent to COM
mence life, to the fashionable loafer,
with capital of ten thousand dol
lars. Whenever we hear remarked,
"such a young lady has married 2
fortune" we have always trembled
for her future prosperity. Riches
left to children by wealthy parents
often prove a curse instead Of a bless
ing! Young women remember this,
and instead Of sounding the purses
of your lovers; and examining the
cut Of their coats, look into their
habits and their hearts. Mark if
they have trades and can depend
upon themselves; see if they have
minds which will lead them to look
above a butterfly existence. Talk
not Of the beautiful white skin, and
soft, delicate hand - the splendid
form and fine appearance Of the
young gentleman. Let not those
foolish considerations cngross your
thoughts. 2a-"o--o' POI ..oa.-' '.a
