It nppears that, a short tiiua ago, several persons prominently connected with the "Con- I federate" government (Senator Clay, of Ala- ] bama, and Prof. Holeombe, of Virginia,) BO- ■ licited from the President of the United States safe conduct to Washington, for the purpose of j laying before that functionary propositions for ; the restoration of peace. These "confederate ; gentlemen" are staying at the Clifton House, Canada, near Niagara Falls, from which place : they made this application to Mr. Lincoln Their correspondence with the President, was carried on through W. C. Jewett and Horace I Greely as media. We copy from the Philadel- i phia Inquirer n full report of this correspondence from which it appears that Mr. Lincoln respond cd to the request of Messrs. Clay and Holeombe nue to peace which was opened by the advan- , cea of the latter. The response of the Presi dent is, in effect, a refusal to accede to any terin9 of peace that do not embrace the "aban donment of slavery" by the people of the South. Thus, the inevitable nigger once more steps in between the white people of the North and the blessed Peace for which they have hoped so long but hoped in vain. Mr. Lincoln is now fairly responsible for the continuance of this cruel and wasteful war. He lias made it impossible . for the Southern people to return to their alle- ; giance without the loss of their property, and ! what to tb~m would be an injury much deeper, : the loss of their honor. Ho has given to un derstand thai this war must go on untii negro : slavery is abolished. He has said to them,''l will not be satisfied with the integrity of the : Union alone; I will have your property, or I I will have your blood." Now, then, the naked j issuo before the people is this: Shall we sup - t port Lincoln's policy, ichieh is to prosecute the ; war until slavery is exterminated, or shall ire, by | condemning that policy, re-open the door to peace ■ so rudely and madly closed ly the President's re ply to C'ay and Ilolcombe I What Then? There is much anxiety concerning the prob- ] able fate of Richmond and also some interest in ! the movement upon Atlanta. There is but lit- j tie hope of the early capture of the former and i the campaign against the latter has been exceed- i iegly tedious and bloody. But suppose that both these cities were taken,—-what then?— Would their capture bring peace? No, far from it. Did the occupation of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Charleston, and the driving of the Continental Congress from one place to anoth er, by the British army, bring peace in the days of the Revolution? Already the Federal troops have possession of New Orleans and Baton Rouge, the one the principal city, the other the capital of the state of Louisiana, yet that state is not restored to the Union. The same is trt e of Mississippi, on whose soil are the fortifica tions of Vicksburg and Port. Hudson. It will be well, then, to look beyond Richmond and Atlanta, aye, and beyond Charleston, Savannah and Mobile, if we would know the time when this war (if it is to be fought, on our part, to the bitter end) will cease. For the present, it is a very pertinent question to ask ourselves, what lies beyond Richmond and Atlanta t To Fakmers. —ln view of the partial failure of the corn crop and the short grass, the farm ers everywhere would do well to prepare a few acres'of ground immediately and sow corn broad cast in order to raise fodder for their stock in the winter.

CORNELL J RIVET r.] FINAL RESPONSE FROM CLAY AND HOLCOMBE. NIAGARA FALLS, CLIFTON HOUSE, July 21. To lion. Horace Greeley : Sir —The paper hand ed to Mr, Holcombe, on yesterday, in your pres ence, by Ma}. Hay, A. A. G., as an answer to the application in our note of the 18th inst., is couched in the following terms: EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, D. C , July 18, 1864 — To whom it may concern: Any proposition which embraces tlie restoration of peace, the integrity of the whole Union, and the abandonment of Slavery, and which com is by and with authority that can control tlie armies now at war against the United Slates, wiii-i*,- rafvii-".! o-ut cxmidaivJ .by ih Uxocu iive Government off tlie TTuileu States, and win be met by liberal terms, on other substantial and collateral points, and the bearer or bearers j thereof shall have safe conduct both ways. ABRAHAM LINCOLN. | The application to which we refer was elic ited by your letter of the 17th inst., in which : you inform Mr. Jacob Thompson and ourselves ; that you were authorized by the President of { the United States to tender us his safe conduct ! on the hypothesis that we were "duly accredit j ed from Richmond as bearers of propositions I looking to the establishment of peace," and de sired a visit to Washington in the fulfillment of this mission. This assertion, to which we then | gave, and still do, entire credence, was accept- I ed by us as the evidence of an unexpected but ; most gratifying change in the policy of the Pres ident, a change which we felt authorized to-hope might terminate in the conclusion of a peace mutually just, honorable and advantageous to the North and to the (South, exacting no condi tion but that we should be "duly accredited from Richmond as bearers of propositions look ' ing to the establishment of peace." Thus prof j feting a basis for conference as comprehensive : as we could desire, it seemed to us that the President opened a door which had previously been closed against the Confederate States for a full interchange of sentiments, free discussion of conflicting opinions and untrammeled eiibrt to remove all causes of controversy by liberal negotiations. We, indeed, could not claim the benefit of a safe conduct which had been ex tended to us in a character wo had no right to assume and had never affected to possess ; but the uniform declarations of our Executive and Congress, and their thrice repeated, and as oft en repulsed, attempts to open negotiations, fur nished a sufficient pledge to assure us that this conciliatory manifestation on tho part of the President of the United States would he met by them in a temper of equal magnanimity. We had therefore, no hesitation in declaring that if thus correspondence wa3 communicated to the President of the Confederate States, lie would promptly embrace the opportunity pre sented for seeking a peaceful solution of this un happy strife. We feel confident that you must share our profound regret that the spirit whiuh dictated the first step toward peace had not con tinued to animate the counsels of your Presi dent. Had the representatives of the two gov ernments met to consider this question, the most momentous ever submitted to human statesman ship, in a temper of becoming moderation and equity, followed as their deliberations would have been by tlie prayers and benediction of every patriot and christian on the inhabitable globe, who is there so bold as to pronounce that the frightful waste of individual happiness aod pub lic prosperity which is daily saddening the hu man heart, might not have terminated ; or if the desolation and carnage of war must still be endured through weary years of blood and suf fering, that there might not at least have been infused into its conduct something more of the spirit which softens and partially redeems its brutalities! Instead of the safe conduct which we solicited, and which your first letter gave us every reason to suppose would be extended for the purpose of initiating a negotiation in which neither Government would compromise its rights or its dignity, a document has been presented which provokes as much indignation : as surprise. It bears no feature of resemblance j to that which was originally offered, and is un- ' like any paper which ever before emanated from the constitutional Executive of a free people. Addressed "to whom it may concern," it pre cludes negotiation, and prescribes in advance the terms and conditions of peace. It returns to the original policy of "No bargaining, no negotiations, no truces with rebels except to bury their dead, until every man shall have laid down his arms, submitted to the Government, and sued for meicy." What may be the ex planation of this sudden and entire change in the views of the .President, of this rude with drawal of a courteous overture for negotiation at the moment it was likely to be accepted, of this emphatic recall of words of peace just ut tered, and fresh blasts of war to the bitter end, we leave for the speculation of those who have the means or inclination to penetrate the mys tery of his cabinet, or fathom the caprice of his [ imperial will. It is enough for us to say that we have no use whatever for the paper placed in our hands. We could not transmit it to the President of the Confederate States without offering him an indignity, dishonoring ourselves ami incurring the well-merited scorn of our countrymen. Whilst an ardent desire for peace pervades j the people of the Confederate States, we rejoice to believe that there are few, if any among them who would purchase it at the expense of liber ty, honor and self-respect. If it can he secu red only by their submission to terms of con i quest, itje generation is yet unborn which will ! witness,its restitution. If there be any milita ry autocrat in the North who is entitled to prof for the conditions of this manifesto, there is none in theSou'th authorized to entertain them. Those who control our armies are the servants of the people, not their masteiS; and they have ! no more inclination, than tli-y have right, to | subvert lite social institutions of the sovereign States, to overthrow their established Constitu : lions, and to barter away their priceless h-.rit i age of self-government. This correspondence ! will not, however, we trust, prove wholly bar j rcn of good results. If there is any citizen of the Confederate i States who lias clung to a hope that peace was possible with litis Administration of the Feder al Government, it will strip from his eyes the last film of such a delusion. Or, if there be any whose hearts have grown faint upon the suffering and agony of this bloody struggle, it will inspire them with fresh energy to endure and brave whatever may yet be requisite to pre serve to themselves and their children all that i gives dignity and value to life or hope and con j solatiou to death. And if there be uuy patri ' ots or Christians in your land, who shrink ap \ palled from tlie illimitable vista of private mis i fry asid public calamity which stretches before ! them, we pi'uy that in their bosoms a resolution ! may be quickened to recall the abused authori j ty and vindicate the outraged civilization of their country. For the solicitude you have man 'itested to inaugurate a movement which con templates results the most noble and humane. ; we. return our sincere thanks: and are, most i respectfully and truly, your obedient servants, C.

The prevailing impression at the close of last week was that the Confederate for ces which recently invaded Maryland had en tirely disappeared with their spoils up the val ley of the Shenandoah, and that nothing furth er would be heard from them, at least for a time. Contrary, however, to what was the current belief, they have again made their presence known and felt in an unexpected manner, and have inflicted a serious disaster upon the Feder al arms. On Sunday morning they attacked in the vi cinity of Winchester the forces of Averill, Mulligan and Ixclly, the whole being under the command of Maj. Gen. Crook, and after a hat tie, which is said to have lasted nearly the whole of the day, defeated the Federal troops and for ced them to retreat to Martinsburg. Advancing subsequently upon Martinsburg, the troops that had reached there, together with those that were at that place previously, fell back to Harper's Ferry and formed a junction with the remain der of the forces at that place, under tho im mediate command of Gen. Hunter. No official details of the fight have been re ceived. but it is reported that Maj. Gen. Aver ill, and acting Brigadier Gen. Mulligan were both killed, and that all of Averill's artillery and a part of his cavalry were captured. Late last evening there was no telegraphic communication beyond Harper's Ferry, the en emy having cut the wires. The train which left Camden Station yesterday morning did not proceed further than Harper's Ferry. No ex press train was sent out last night.— Baltimore Gazette, Tuesday, July 26, 1804 AN EYE .SOKE.
