The States in the Union aro all sanctioning by their acclamation and rejoicing, the conduct of CongreSs, and it is just to infer that the 'respective Legislatures will shortly concord in• the action of Congress and the desire of the people,. In Congress men voted for the meas. nre who, at former times, were indif ferent to the: evils of shivery, and as eerted it was prudent to " let it alone," never thinking, until the present war -roVealed tho fact, that the slavehold drs desired its extension, and full ac quiescence by the whole north-in their scheme.

Paaoz.—lt would appear, from the manner in which the steps preparatory :to-the Iteelatittion - Tif Pima) are being taken, that there is something hidden and moro important in the late peace rumors than we wore at first led to suppose. President Lincoln and See. Seward met the Commissioners from Re beldom—Stephens, Ranter and Camp. bell. A. consultation resulted upon the waters before Fortress 3ionroo, the substance of which has not been made known to the public. That our au -1 tlorities should go so far in their anx iety for peace as to meet the rebels proves that Mr. Lincoln will have peace, if possible, and if terms dishon orable are proffered, then he will turn his back upon them, and give the ter minating blow to rebellion, for which it has long been waiting and suffering. orever We cannot consider that Mr. Lin coln did wrong in meeting the rebel Commissioners; and in this meeting the rebels will see that the spirit of the North is not to exterminate but to.con ciliate. We hope shortfy to give our readers the substance of the consulta tion, so that they can know how to understand the cry for peace, and up on what terms peace will be founded, The Press of Monday has the fullowingon the eul t ieet: "The rebel commissioners have returned to isiciunond with this assurance, that - the Government of the United States will not make peace with the insurgents unless they submit unconditionally to .the Union. The responsibility of the war remains with the South.. The President has done for peace more than could have been asked of him ; by a personal conference with the rebel commis sioners ho has made it impossible that the the enemy shOuld misunderstand the terms . upon which the war may be ended at once, and has again proved to the world the sin cerity of Sur wish for peace. It has been ob jected that the President lowered the dignity of his office in consenting to meet subordin ate officers of the Confederacy ; but none of its officers are recognized by the Government, and to the President of the United State s Jeff Davis and Alexander 11. Stephens are alike insurgents, and nothing more. "Though the rebel connnissiouers did not come with authority to offer the submission of their felloivs, it is certain that their ex press object was to learn positively from the Government what submission means. They desired to be informed how far the existing laws and acts of Congress providing for the punishment of rebels, the confiscation of their property, etc., would be modified by an im mediate acknowledgment of the authority of the Union. They have their information, and may act upon it. It most .not be for gotten that the Government of the United States does not recognize , a Government at Richmond representative of the South ; ittle knowledges simply un insurgent power, with any part of which it may make peace. It may make peace with Georgia, and continue to coerce South Carolina ; with Stephens, and continuo the war with Davis. It is bound to offer generous and just terms to any portion of the rebellion which expressos a desire to submit. Thus much for the . theory of such_ negotiations as those of Portreas Monroe.— As for the fact, it is plain that no partial re storation of peace was dis Cussed with _the rebel commissioners, but the complete abut donment of the rebellion. -STEPHEN "The Government has done its part. We have now to: await the action of the men who have control of the 'rebel armies. In the meanwhile the war continues. Let it go on with redoubled energy." WAR NEWS SUMMARY. Ai' - The Richmond .

Two other columns, in light Marching order, were moving by separate roads toward Branchville. Gen. Hill has issued orders requiring non-combatants to leave Augusta..

Hone were asked what were the two most fascinating and popular di versions of the present season, he would certainly reply "skating" and "boring for oil or buying oil stocks." The former diversion is indulged in with but little risk, but the latter is environed with far greater perils than. are involved in a wet foot or a contused head. The oil fever defies all calcula tion and sets at nought all average rules of business. Three years ago the excitement seemed to have culmin ated in Vonango county, at Pittsburgh and in those regions most affected by the mania. To be sure, at the Iron City refineries were erected and went into business on a large scale, While boilermakers and engine -builders had devoted nearly all their time and skill to. making machinery for oil wells; hut most people thought the petroleum fever bad culminated and that hereafter it would be a losing business.. Often rough and hirsute individuals would arrive in Pittsburg, smelling of oil and impetuously de manding of their friends capital to prosecute their half.completed labors in Vonango, end they would create a temporary flurry in favor of oil. But it was not thought to be a permanently paying business: The present season, however, has shown a gigantic change in the feeling about the matter. Oil companies by hundreds have gone in to operation. The regions where pe troleum has boon found has widened until half a dozen states are supposed to contain "placers." The money market is as susceptible to the ,chap gos in oil steels as it is to the fluctua tions in gold. The exports of the oleagenous commodity have increas ed. The railways leading to the oil regions are glutted with business. A class of brokers and commission mer chants now deal only in oil. Petrole. um has its newspaper organs, and its aristocracy, under the title of Petro lia, bids fair to eclipse. Shoddy. A mere glance at our advertising col umns shows the state of public feeling. The prospectuses dazzle one's eyes. The "potentiality of illimitable wealth," as Dr. Johnson said when he alluded to Thrale's brewery, seems involved .in their glittering periods, and "oil upon the brain" is a disease flteilo of infection if one only devotes himself to steady thought about the matter. Looking philosophically at the affair, ono cannot but be impressed with the 'buoyancy this speculative fever shoWS in the mass or the Anierican . people. Here we are, with a war un paralleled in magnitude on our hands; with a prospect of a foreign contest as soon as the rebellion is put down, and with the public finances in a very queer state, to say the boast. Yet Our people plunge over head and cars into the oil business as impetuously as if they had thought and decla-ed . "after us the deluge." They haunt the Exchange, and after business hours the Girard House. They eager•. ly peruse the advertisements of each new company. They take trips to the oil rogions. They "bore" for charters at Harrisburg. They invade editorial sanctums and waylay editors to demand "puffs" for their pet or• ganizations, and they characteristical ly invent jokes and stories to satirize their own vehemence in the glittering pursuit of opulence through the medi. Aim of a flowing well. The sign pain. .tern are kept busy preparing the "shingles" for fresh companies, every day, while rents have•gone up between Fifth street and Second street,' owing to thedemand for now offices for the freshly-born companies, and an enter prising firm has prepared for popular admiration, neat, bronze match safes and'ink.stands, representing the idol ized pimps, derricks, &e, which are the "surface indications" of an oil well. We do not feel competent to ad. vise any reader, at this time, as to. what company he should invest in. Our advertising colunins aro the book which he may consult before "paying his money and taking his choice;" but we can certainly shy, without fear of contradiction, that there are as many worthless companies as good ones in existence; and that before trusting one's cash in any new company, we ought to be very certain that its "stir. face indications" aro not as .detective as a quicksand or an Irish bog.—Phila delphia Evening Bulletin. ARCHIBALD. McAmasTEß. It is known that this gentleman voted, after brief and comprehensive remarks, for the proposed amendments to the con , stitution abolishing slavery. There is no disputing the fact by loyal men that the member from this district did right, and the opposition expressed to his course by his "Democratic" friends, only proves conclusively their biased obstinacy against every measure of the Government for the good of the Union. We trust that Mr. McAllister will make this the initiatory step to further dis appointing the hopes of the "Democra cy" who confide in him. Should he do so he will most effectively seal his dec laration of eternal war against the en emies of his country, open rebels and secret traitors. To fully retrieve his fallen honor lost byvoting inconsistent ly with the views of those who princi pally elected him, let him declare open ly and vote consistently for the Union and in favor of all just measures to the maintenance of the Government. Then will the people of this district repose in him their confidence, and re , ward him for his services. , Our Army Oorrespondenoe. SAVANNAS, GEORGIA, January.lBth, 1865. DEAD GLODE.—As your numerous readers are already informed of Gen. Sherman's triumphant march from At lanta to Savannah, and his final occu pation of the city, a few lines from a 'soldier belonging to Geary's White Star Divinion.would be road with interest by them. The veteran troops of Gen. Geary's Division where the first to enter the city, which was surrendered to Gen. Geary, who was immediately made military Governor of the city, which position none is more competent to fill than is that veteran General, John W. Geary, the hero of many a hard fought field in Virginia, and in the army of the south-west. Our forces captured all the enemy's heavy, guns, with all their ammuni tion and accoutrements. We also cap tured largo quantities of meal, corn, rice and cotton, besides a large num ber of sick and wounded rebels. Here we also received a mail, bringing 'us tender missives from dear ones at home; it also brought us the cheering news of the great Onion Victory, the election of Lincoln and Johnson to the Presiden tial Chair for the next four years. Allow me,' fellow citizens of the no blo old county of Huntingdon, to re turn to you through tho columns of the Globe the sincere thanks of Company B, of the 147th Penna. Vole. for your patriotic notion during the late Presi dential campaign. You have nerved our arms•anew to strike fresh blows in behalf of our bleeding country, and rest asured that Company B will not betray the confidence you have be stowed iu her by so nobly coming to the rescue and helping to .destroy our worst foes; those who are too cow ardly to face the music but who, like the midnight assassin, Firm]: as it were into the Victim's chamber and there stab him to the heart while the un conseious victim is enjoying that calm repose which alone is enjoyed by the innocent•. But you have struck them a blow from which they can never re cover. • We can now begin, to see the "beginning of the end ;" the dark and ominous clouds aro beginning to break and we can now see as it were a bright ray of light casting its holy lustre up on our benighted country. Already the advance is sounded and Sherman's veteran army js or.eo more on the move, and 1 feel confident that victory will once more porch herself upon the battle scarred banners 0£ the army.of the Cumberland. I presume Charleston is the next point of attack and when besieged from all sides its fall becomes a certainty; this accom• pliehed, :Richmond will certainly be the nest point, and who ,would ques tion or doubt our success when the rebel hordes are confronted by the vet erans of Grant and Sherman: Certain ly our success is, only a question of time. And God grant that the time is not far distant when we may all re• turn. to our peaceful avocations, is the sincere prayer of your humble servant. S. YEETER, Co. B, 147th P. V. I. CAMP 49TH MOT. PENNA. VOLS. I January 25th, 1865. DEAR GLOBE.—Part of the members of our coMpany being from McVey town, to-day the whole of the compa ny worn the happy recipients of a pair of &byes; sent to us by the young In dies of that place, and as this is the time of the'year - for wearing said arti cles they were a very suitable present, and the ladies (God bless them):who were so mindful of their friends in the army, have the thanks of Co. B. and their well wishes, which is that they may live to a good old age, and intheir travels through this unfriendly world may they be guarded by some good Union Soldier. And as many of the members of our company aro from yo ancient borough, may some of our la.l dy friends follow the example of the fair sex of MoVeytown, by remember ing their friends in the army; but not in the way that some of tho veterans were remembered by their male friends of the borough; for be it remembered many of the, veterans while home on furlough credited themselves to the borough with - the promise of $lOO, bounty, receiving $2O in hands and the promise of "ye other $80" as soon as it could be collected; but strange to say, nothing has as yet been said about the remaining $BO which speaks bad for "ye borough." * But be not alarmed for our receipt was taken for the $2O and we cannot credit ourselves to any other district where they are giving more than $2O bounty, but in the lan guage of the: angry dutchman, "It makes us no differance" far we got slp per, month, and the sutlers in this part of the army only charge us two cents for every sheet of paper we use, two cents for each envelop, fifteen cents for each candle we got, and all other nee• osary articles in proportion, and yet we try to 'make both ends moot. Thinking that some of your many readers would be ihterosted in the his tory of a regiment during last sum mer's campaign, I will endeavor to give them the outlines of our regiment since leaving camp last spring, since which time we have boon engaged in eleven battles, When the regiment left camp last spring it numbered 870 enlisted men, and during the summer 150 re cruits were added, making a total.of 1020 . enlisted men, out of this number there were killed 333, wounded 847, and our inliS yet carry the names of 687, but present for-duty are only 340, all told. Among £he list of slain were many good and brave officers, whose places were filled by promotions from the ranks, .and among tho names of those thus promoted, are the following from "ye ancient borough," Sergt. J. J. Bight, to 2d Lieut. of Co. B, Sergt. H. Johnson, to 2d Lieut. of Co. G; and Sergt. R. Davison to 2d Lieut. of Co. F, all of which were well earned and well deserved promotions, for never did better or braver soldiers shoulder a musket or wield a sword. Our regiment now supports two stand of colors, the new one is carried by Sergt. Henry Entriken, and the old one (the pride of the veterans) by Cor poral Theodore H. McFarland, two well tried veterans, in whose bands supported by the present color squad, and by the remainder of the old 49th they are perfectly safe, and will never adorn the walls of the Rebel 'Capital at Richmond so long as that capital is in rebel hands At present we are laying quiet in winter quarters with nothing but pick et and camp duty to do. All the Hun tingdon County boys are well. D. 4 [NOTE BY EDITOR.—"D Maud others will please read Mr. Brown's letter under "local correspondence" in another column.) THE MARCH OF FREEDOM. Vote on the Amendment to the Constitu tion Abolishing Slavery. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1 The vote upon the &mato -joint res olutions to abolish slavery was taken yesterday. The following is the reso lution and the vote: "Be it Resolved .by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress asembled, two-thirds of both Rouses concurring, That the following articles boproposed to the Legislatures of the several States as au amendment to the Consti tution of the United States, and when ratified by three fourths of said Legis latures shall be valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the said Consti tution, viz : - "ARTICLE ISTII-SECTION 1.

Before voting, Mr. McAllister from this district, said: "When this subject was before the House on a former occasion I voted against the measure. I have been in favor of exhausting all means of con ciliation to restore the Union as our fathers made it. lam for the Union, and utterly opposed to secession or the diSsolution of the Union•in asy way or shape. The result of all the peace missions, especially that of Mr—Blair, has satisfied me that nothing short of the recognition of their independence will satisfy the Southern Confederacy. It must, therefore, ho destroyed, and in voting fir the present measure I cast my vote against the corner stone Of the Southern Confederacy, and de clare eternal war against the enemies 'of my country. 7 SHERMAN. HE IS MOVING ON CHARLESTON. FORTRESS MONROE, January 31 The steamship Warrior, Captain Mott, arrived hero to-day from Fort Fisher, N. C.• Up to the time tho Warrior sailed, on Saturday, January 28th, nothing of importance had taken place, with the exception that several of our gun boats were moving up the Cape Fear river in the vicinity of the rebel forts, probably with the intention of born-. bardiug them. The steamship Catawba, - Captain Johnson, arrived hero also this after noon from Hilton Head, S. C., with over 500 rebel prisoners captured by Major Genbral Sherman in his late campaign. The Catawba sailed from Hilton Head on last Saturday, the 28th inst., and besides the mails and dispatches from Sherman's army, brings intelli gence of the highly gratifying suc cess attending thus far the opening of the now campaign in the State of South Carolina. Ono portion of Maj. Gen. Sherman's army moved direct from Savannah, Ga., and the other, ecnsisting of two corps, moved from Beamorts, S. C., and were both rapidly advancing against Charleston, S. C. - The latest intelligence received from the army represents it to be at, a distance less than 40 miles from the city. The enemy abstain from offering re sistance at every point, and were grad ually being driven from every availa ble position for defence. Although a barren waste follows the retreating steps of the enemy, forage and subsistence wore found in large quantities. The army commanded by Major General Foster was co-operating with the main army under Sherman, and the movements of our troops through South Carolina since the capture of Savannah, Georgia, were but aprecurs er of afar more terrible and disastrous campaign in the heart of tho rebel ter, , ritory, than that_ of their celebrated march through Georgia. The lines of General ShOrman's ar my were being gradually contracted, and probably no desperate resistance or battle would be offered until our for ces reached to within a few miles of Charleston, where the main body of the rebel forces wouldibe concentrated to make one terrible effort to save the •State from the inroads of a victorious army. Savannah. Attempts to Burn the City— bisastrous Conflagration. NEW YORK, Feb. 1. The steamship Suwa Nada, from Sa vannah and Hilton Read on the 29th ult., arrived at this port to-night.— Among her passengers are Maj. Gen. Leggett and Brig. Gen. McCallum. On the evening of the 27th a disas trous conflagration occurred at Savan nah, destroying considerable property, but there was no loss of life. On the morning of the 28th another fire broke out, destroying two squares in the third district. Buildings were torn down to prevent the spread of the flames, as the wind was blowing strong from the east. Some fiend had placed a keg of pow •der at the side of the arsenal, which is located at the corner of York and Walter streets, undoubtedly for the purpose of blowing up the city, as the arsenal contained some thirty tons of powder. The keg, with its top taken off, was secreted behind a tree. `''his hellish design is attributed to the reb el sympathizers, who are in anything but An amiable mood, in view of their present conditon.. Grant on Sherman. At the recent rneeting,"at the Ohio State Capital, to present a testimonial to Sherman, the following noble letter from Lieutenant General Grant was read. • HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE U. S., CITY POINT VIRGINIA, Dec.-22. 1864, H. H. Bunter, D. Tallmadge, John T. Brasee—DEAß SIRS : I have just this moment received your printed letter in relation to your proposed movement in acknowledgement of ono of Ohio's greatest sons. I wrote only yesterday to my father, who resides in Covington, Kentucky, on the same subject, and asked him to inaugurate a subscrip tion to present Mrs. Sherman with a furnished house in the city of Cincin nati. Gen: Sherman is eminently en titled to this mark of consideration, and I directed' my father to head the subscription with five hundred dollars for me, and half that amount from General Ingalls, Chief Quartermaster of this army, who is equally alive with myself to the services of Gon. Sher man Whatever direction this enterprise in favor of Gen. Sherman may take, you may set me down for the amount named. 1 cannot say a word too high ly in praise of General Sherman's ser vices from the beginning of the Rebel• lion to the present day, and will there fore abstain from flattery of him.
