Peace ! Peace 1
REFUSED BY THE ADMINISTRATION UN
, LESS SLAVERY IS ABOLISHED!
it was plainly developed, 'flit' week,
%that the administration at Washing
lon, baying, during the past four
fie - are, administered the country to
Pe brink of utter destruction, is still
' , determined not to stop the war and
'make peace on any terms short Of
f:tbeentire abolition of slavery, even if
'The rebels should lay down their arms
-and stibnilt. The - histarrof the pro
,ceedings•are as follows :
Several confidential agents of the
Rebel Government reached Niagara
Falls, in Canada, and opened negoti
ations'having reference to PEACE,
'with Horace Greeley, Major Hay,
(the President's Private Secretary,)
And President Lincoln himself.
- The introduction to the whole mat.
'ter is a short private note, dated 12th
inst., from Goorgo .N.Sanders to Hon
%ace (freely, stating "that Hon. Cle
nnent,C;Clay, of Alabama ; Professor
Zitmets-C. Holcombe. of Virginia, and
George N. Sanders,-of Dixie, are rea
'dy' and willing - to go at once to Wash
. ington, upon complete and unquali
fied protection being given, either by
the President or Secretary of War."
To this note Mr. Greoly replies,
Zuly . 17th, that understanding the
"gentlemen named to be "duly accred
ited from Richmond as the bearers of
ipropositions looking to the establish
unent of.pence," he is "authorized by
'theTreeldont of the United States to
''tender thorn his safe conduct on the
:journey proposed, and to accompany
them at the earliest •time-that will be
-agreeable."
ZOIIEIT'S. Clay and nolconibe explain
`that they have . not been accredited
as bearers of peace propositions;
but that they are in the confidential
, employ, of their government, and au
"%homed to declare tbat,itthe ciroum
ltances disclosed •in this correspon.
•fience were communicated to Rich
mond, they or other gee tletnen would
be invested with full pdwers. They
'• -eek a safe oonduot to Washington,
and thence to Richmond.
Mr. Greoly answers that the state ,
of facts being materially different
Ifrom•that understood to exist by the
...President, when be entrusted him with
,the safe conduct requested, it was ad.
-visable for him to communicate by
-telegraph with the President, and
•obtain fresh .instructions.
,After-sonae further correspondence
*in rdiatiouloa&r. Greely's communi
cation with President Lincoln, the
following was resolved from the lat
ter, by the hands of Major Hay, and
-.by him handed to Prof. Holcombe
EXE,OUTIVE MANSION, WASEEINOTON,
July 18, 1864.
'To 'num! IT MAY CONCERN
Any•proposition which embraees
rthe-restoration of.peace, the integrity
, Ortbe.Whole ;Union, and tbe abandon , -
meat of slavery, - and which comes by
and with authority that can -control
the armies now at war against the
United States, will be received and
-considered by the executive Govern
-meet of the "United States, and will
be met by liberal terms on substan
tial and collateral points, and "fbe
bearer or bearers thereof shall have
-safe conduct both ways.
-ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
*To this dontmen t, Messrs. Clay and
Holcombe take grave exception. In
a long, and final, letter to Mr. 'Circe
dated 21st inst., they complain
that "it provokes as much indigna
tion as surprise," and "is unlike any
paper which ever before emanated
from the constitutional Executive of
a free people," They go on to say
that—
“It preludes negotiation, and ' pre soribes in advance the terms and.con.--
.ditions•of peace. lit returns to the
original !policy .cif "no bargnn ng, no
negotiations, no truces with rebels,
except to bury tbeirdeadontil every
•man shall have laid down his arms,
submitted to the government, and su•
ed for mercy.” * * * * "It is e•
nough for us to say that we have no
use whatever for the paper that has
been placed in our hands. We could
not transmit it to the President of
the Confederate States without offer.
lag b u n an indignity, dishonoring
ourselves, and incurring the well
merited scorn of our country
men; * * * * *
"Whilst an ardent desire for peace
pervades the people of the Confeder
ate States, we rejoice to believe that
there are few, if any, among them
who.would purchase it at the ex
pfliagi:of liberty, honor and self-re
spect. if it can be ileonred only by
their submission .bo terms of conquest,
the generation is yet 'unborn which
will witness its reetitutien. If there
be any military autocrat in the
north who is entitled to prof
fer the conditions of , this manifesto,
there is none in the Sough authorized
to entertain them. Those who eon•
troLottr armies aro the servants of
the people, not their masters; and
they have no right to subvert the social
institutions of the sovereign States
te , ovartitrow their establighed coned
tution, and to barter away their pre
cious heritage of self.gevern men t."
Here the conference ended, .flnd
the parties seirarated, each going his
own way.

A .PROGAMATION.
Whereas, .135 r the actapproved July
4th,1864, entitled "An act to further
Regulate'and Provide-for the Enroll
ing and milling out the National for
ces and for other Purposes,'" it is pro•
aided that the President of the -Uni
ted States =My oittAis discretion, at
any time herofter; call for any num
ber of men , ns volunteers, for the re
spective terms of one, two or three
years, for military service,':' and "that
in case the quota or any part thereof
of any toW.n, township, ward-of a city
precinct, or election district, or of a
county not subdivided, shall not be
filled within'the space of -fifty days
after such trill, then the President
shall immediately order a draft for
one year to fill such quota or arty
part thereof which may be unfilled ;"
And whereas, The new enrollment
heretofore ordered .is so far completed
as that the aforesaid act of Congress
may now be put irruperation for re
cruiting and keepingarip the strength
of the armies in the field, for garrison
and such military operations as may
be required for the purpose of sup
pressing the rebellion and restoring
the authority of the United States
Government in the insurgent States ;
Now,.therefore, I, Abraham Lin
coln, President of the United States,
du issue this my call for 500,000 vol
unteers for the military service, pro
vided, nevertheless, that this call
shall be reduced by all credits which
may be established under section Bth
of the aforesaid act on account of per
sons who have entered the naval ser
vice during the present rebellion, and
by credits for men furnished to the
military service in excess of calls
heretofore made. Volunteers will be
accepted under this-call•for one, two
or three years, as they may elect,
and will be Retitled to the bounty
provided by the.law, for the period
of service for vihtch, et+Mat
And I hereby proclaim, order and
direct, that immediately after the . sth
day of September,lB64, being fifty
days from .the date of (biscuit, a draft
for troops to serve for one year shall

THE ELECM NEXT TUESDAY.
Sir An election will be held next
Tuesday in this cemmonweilth, hav
ing reference to the proposed amend
ments to the Constitution. These a
mendmemts have been published vol
untarily in Our columns for the past
three months, every week. There
will be three boxes, ono for each:of the
proposed amendments. The Legal
form forvoting, - bwill be found atlength
in the Sheriff's Proclamation, in an
other part of this paper.
The . proposed amendments, sap
the Reading Gazette, are, in them
selves,independent.of parly ,potitics,
and could have no political signifi
cance, were they considered upon
theirown abstract merits. But a de
termined effort has been made by
the abolition:presses, to make a par
ty question of the firstramendment—
extending the right of solaiers voting
in the field—which has had the usual
effect of arousing a jealousy and 'sus
picion that would not otherwisehave
manifested themselves. When rabid
partisan papers, like the [Lebanon
Courier,] for example, are found advo
cating this measure with extraordi
nary earnestness, and endeavoring to
make the vote upon it a teat of the
voter's "loyalty or treason," it is not
surpf ising that honest men, whose ide
as of loyalty and treason are widely
different from those of the [Courier,]
should suspect that,some other and
less patriotic motive than love for the
soldier is at the bottom of this new
born zeal. No one can be, in the ab
stract, opposed to 'Aiming fbe 'sol
dier, legally entitled to a vote at home,
the right to vote when he goes beyond
the bounds of the State, for the time
being, in his country's service—sub
ject, of course, to the same restric
tions that, for the purpose of preserv
ing the purity of the elective frau
oh itle, are imposed upon the freedom
of balfrage at home. - But, when we
find a question of thikkiud dragged'
before the public by partisan papers,
and in the most offensive partisan
spirit, it is but natural to suspeetthat,
not the measure - itself, but some alto
rier Object that is expected to be 'ac
complished-by it, prompts so ardent
a support ;—particjilarly, when we
remember that it was men of this
very same Abolition party, who first
disputed the constitutionality of the
old law allowing the soldiers to vote,
and by - obtaining a decision of the Su
preme Court adverse to it, succeeded
in ousting a Democratic Sheriff in
Philadelphia who bad been declared
legally elected by the aid of the sol
diers' votes. This fact unavoidably
suggests the question, whether the
Abolitionists would be now scr earn
est in advocating this amendment,
if they did net expect to use the sol
diers' votes for their own base part•
san purposes? As for ourselves,. we
cannot consent that any ono or all of
these proposed amendments shalt be
made apolitical test. If party lines
should . be*aWn'on the election day,
and if any considerable number of op
position votes should 'be Tolled, the
fault will lie with the Abdlition jour
nals that are so offensively striving to
make political capital out of the elec
tion.
OLD ABE EXPLAINS HIMSELF.
These who believe that the war is
only to bo prosecuted until the Union
is restored and the law4nforced, will
find themselves disalnised: by Abe's
epistle "To whom it - may .concern."
He there says that any 'proposition
embracing "the'abanderrm.ent of Sla
very" will be met, 4 - e. Of course
proposi,tions not embracing the -eter
nal nigger will be refused, and the
war go on until the last . white man
and his last dollar are expended. Ara
the people willing to continue this
war on such terms ? The effort last
week was, the fonrtb , attempt made
by the Rebel's to come to an accom
modation, but every time it has been
spelled or - scouted by the folly of the
administration and the inevitablenig
ger. WO-say let the Chicago Con
vention adopt PEACE platform,
nominate a good 'Man, and if. the peo
ple elect him, as we believe they will,
this warwill cease, and Initter terms
will be made, more conducive to the
interest of the white and of the black
man; than can be accomplished. by
the present corrupt and incompetent
administration byzagos of fighting for
freeing niggers.

A IHEAVY ►Gc.
Tbe San Francisco Alta California,
gives the following account of a

that city agreed to the following con
ditions ; •
If the Federal I'mM did not cap
ture Richmond within thirty days
from that date, he was to give his.dp
ponent a single' sound l eatable apple;
if Richmond held out - sixty days, he
was to give him,twirapples, and a
non, doubling the number for each
month until Richmond was taken- 7 -
to the end of time if that event did
not omit before. Nine months have
passed since the first apple was band
ed over, and the list of apples deliver
ed:at the end of the successive months
is as follows 1,2, , 4,,.8,. 16, 82, 64,
128, 2 . 56,—t0ta1, 512. Thus far, it is
all s. good joke, and the-loser has paid
forfeit. regularly, with a good grace,
but yesterday i$ roirte4 a $ pits.

to 20 cents perpound, and it took a

beWould get back all the apples he
lids lost and one more, which, as the
price will then be at the very high

Idnger, and ho continue to pay his

be out $686,340 and, should the war
lastirom this date as much longer

Thethain :part is three and a half

as a "flagstaff-ball," to he fired from

soldier, it would most 'likely decapi

day). The facts, as we heard them,
are these :,
.A. young lady by the
name of Miller went to the church
wearing some 'sort of a "butternut"
emblem. This created a considerable
feelingambng some of the Republican
ladies of the congregation. After the
services Were over, Mrs. Timberlake,
wife of Henry Timberlake, nephew
of Col. John Timberlake, volunteered
to go and take. away the emblem.
She rushed..to,ward .Miss Miller, and
a general fight occurred among the
women, when, Col.. John Timberlake
came into 'the crowd, apparently
greatly excited.. A young.man nam
ed Henry Lohmire, who accompanied
Miss Miller a* the chgreh, warned,
Tiniberlake not interfere. Loh
mire himself endeavoring to sepete
thelady combatants.
Timberlake replied to Lohmire,
"you are - nothing but a d—d-tebel,'
anyhow." „Lohmire warned Timber
lake not - to:repeat the language. Tim
berlake replied, in a still moredefiant
man er;"you are a d'—d rebel
and 'some aceohnts 'Say truck Loh-
Mire in the face and put his hand 'to
a side pocket as if to draw a weapon;
• whereupon Lohmire -drew 4.a pistol
and shot twice,- both shots -taking ef
fect. The first ball passed through
Tintberlakea hand and into his shout?
der Oho second entered his side and
passed through the-heart, causing in
stant death.-

prevailed for some time. .Tiinberlake
was formerly . Lieutenant Colonel of
the 81st Indiana. Lohmire was a
young man—a mere' boy; in fact—
who is said by those who know him
to be ofgentle disposition. He at

This roused the. neighborhood and
authorities, who,laid.regular siege to
the culprit in his house. several of
them were also shot ...end mort-ally
wounded. One hundred balls were
fired at his houseduring the day and
.night, but Gasser stillremained unin
