ing a ma.o iutlon iu which 'nei her Government

a dOctimtnt has been pre--nfed wiii.'.h pr
vokct as much indicnatiou as .surprise. It heart
no Ic.i'oie of rcsemblmii c to that which was
originally otlered, and Is unlike any paper which
ever In lore emauat, d from the "constitutional
I'.xeeuilw of a ftou people. A 1 1,-osaed "to
whom It may concern," it pro.'ludot uego.iatlon,
and pre i rd-t's lti aihance tiio '.orm an I condi
tions ol" peace. It refiirns to the original policy
of "Mo bar iainiug, no negotiali ms, no truces with
llete's, "xeei't to bury their dead, until every
man shall have laid clown hi. anus, submitted to
the Government, und sued for mercy. " What
may be the explnnuiioiiot this Midden and entire
change in tbe i iewsofthe President, and this rude
withdrawal of a courteous overture for negotia
ticn nt the moment it was likely to he a -cepted,
of this emphatic roeall of words ot pcaao just
utter d, and fresh blasts of war to the Inttor end,
we leave for the speculation of those who
have the niesns or Inclination to penetrate tho
mysturiei of his Cabinet, or fathom tho ca
price of his imperial will. It it enough for in to
say that wc have no use whatever for the paper
which has Ik en placed In our hands. Wu could
ni t transmit it to the President of the Confede
rate Statea without olfering him an indignity,
tiitnouoring ourselves, aim incurring tue welt
merited scorn of our countrvmen.
Whilst an urdem desiro for iacc pervades tho
people of tho Confederate S atos, we rejoice to
believe that thero aro few, if any, among them,
who would purchase It at the expeuso of liberty,
honor, and aelf iespcct. If it cuit be securud only
by their submission to terms of cou meat, the
gent ration It yet unborn which will witness its
r stt in ion. II theio be iinv mi'iiary autocrat lu
the North w ho is entitled lo proffer the. conditions
oi this manitesto, there is none iu the South au
thoui d to cut' rmin them.
Th so w ho ron'iol onr armlet are tho tervantt
ol the people, not tbolr uiaaters ; and they have
iiu more ineiiuauou inuu buoy nave rigui to sun
vert the so l.il institute -in of the sovereign States
to overthrow their cttublisbed t onstttutions, ami
tc 1 ait' r awav their priceless heritaire of self-
govt rniiioiit. Ibis correspondence will not.
howevi r, we trutt, prove wholly barren of good
result.
It there Is any citir.cn of the Confederate States
who has clung to a bopo that iwa'C was possible
with this Administration of the Federal Govern
ment, It will strip from his eyos tho last tilin of
such n delusion. Or, If there be any whine
hearts have grown faint under tho suffering and
ngony of this bloody struggle, it will inspire
ilieni with fresh energy to endure and brave
whatever nuiy yet be requisite to preserve to
themselves and their children ul that
gives dignity and vitlno to life, or hope
and Consolation to death. And if tuero benny
pa' riots or Chiistiai t iu yonr laud who shrink ap
palled ftom the Illimitable virtue of private miiery
ami pnMicca amity whith itn:tches before them,
we proy that In their bosom a resolution may be
quickened to recall tbe abused authority and vin
dicate the outiilged eivl i.ailon of their country.
For tho solicitude you have manifested to inau
gurate a movement which contemplates results
the most noblo and humane, wo return our sin
cere th aid f, and aro.mo.slropoctfuliy und truly,
vour obedient servants, .

A friend, who it In confidential eruYlal commu

greater than are allowed to appear on tbcsnrfai-e.
In his opinion, notwithstanding all the gallantry
of Confederate roslstani.o, the Federal Govern
ment, so long us it can command a general like
Grunt to curry out tho policy of "man for Dian,"
and has ut itt buck the us yet unexhausted recroting
fields of Ireland and Germany, to say nothing of a
practically unlimited command of greenbacks,
ships, stores, wmi munitions of war, must pro
gress towards a conquest, which cuu only bo rc
tanlcd by all that Confederate determination and
skill can accomplish. I mention tbit, ns It Is the
opinion of one who enjoys, I belief e, almost un

The American war steamer h'imrnroe arrived
In 1 lover routlt ut six o'clock on Weiluosday
evining. It had been suited In tome of the
French papeYs that a successor to the Al iktn',1
would probably be In waiting oil Cherbonrg
wht n the Federal vossel left that port, and that
another naval engagement might take p, ace, in
vFhhb the South would huve an opportunity of
retrieving its lute defeat. No uew AkUiamn, how
ever, seouiB to have yet appeared ; but It isasti rted
thai a steamer, the Mao, which left Bordeaux
on the 2nd of June, is to take the place of tho
notorious privateer.
The Opinion Satlonalc assort! that tho Jnlln
here refemd to will soon reappear, fully armed
and manued, and with tbe Confederate ling fly
ing. Captain Scmmea, It is said, is too ill to take
command of her. This duty will consequently
di Volvo upon the First I.icutt nant of tho late
Ahiliama, whoso appointment is expected to ar
rive about the middle of the present month. If
Ihe tiatenientt of tho French papers are to be
relied on, there will soon be no lack in tho Chan
nel of war vc6solt belonging to the opposing
Towers.
According to those statements, the Vlorida Is
alnatly there; the JVrfrfu, as wo have seen, Is
being got ready, and "the Snath it probably pre
paring a display of fresh forces;" while, on the
oilier hand, we learn that the Federal steamer
, Hitata left Antwerp on the 2d l:ituut, to cruise
in tho Channel, and that a now Federal steamer,
the AiMcilohimi, built upon the same model ,
the htnrauryr, and armed w ith heavy t'utis, la
ex in eti d.

It leust not be forgotten that in all the ac
counts ol the procti dings near S'asbington, there
Is noihlug from t ur side. We have not botrd
the whole story, perhups. We do not even know
wbitbei the "invasion" Is yet done, although
the New Yoik pupers so represent it. Most of
what they do report appears to have the mirk
of tinlh, tnd It must bo confessed that our "in
vasion," just at this moment, looks like one of
the most paltry affairs ot the war.
Washington wus uot taken. Baltimore was not
tskeu. 1 he Ynuket'ixed population of Martins
bmg has embraced thoir townsman, Hunter,
gain. Not a bridge of the road between Wash
ington and Baltimern was bu.uod. The road
Itsi-b was unbroken. What bat been done then?
What has yet been obt lined by tnese opportuni
ties l.ynchbnrg and Washington the lino of
which Providence has not vouchsafed since tbe
first yeur of the war? One house has been
burned ; two thousand head of cattle brought off;
Major-General Tyler und Major-General Frank
lin were taken prisoneia, and both permitcd to
escape.

gathered from such accounts at wo bopo, and

told." The fade of tbe great chance of l-vnch-burg
was bad enough, but it would be indeed
haid if this invasion of a country emptied of
treopt should accomplish only the burning of a
bouse to cool tbe embers of John L"tc'ior's
