Did you ever take a ride in a Jersey stage Coach over the hot hurtling sand and amid the low stunted pines and huckleberry bushes? If you have, you can imagine the feelings of your correspondent, who, for the first time, found himself in that empansive art!. 0143 along with several other passengers on shot, dry, and dusty day in August. Having got fairly seated, the driver cracks his whip, and we • are in for a four hours' ride through the sands and the pines. Scarce. ly two persons wished to go to the same place. "We most tarn up this road to leave thtsgentleman out and then go two miles in an opposite direction to leave a lady off,- who had a very sickly infant in her arms. "Where do you want to go tol" inquires the driver of a pale, lean gentleman, who seemed to be in misery at every thump or bump of the coach. !, Well, I don't know," replies the sickly-looking person alluded to. "Are there any hotels at Noah town "Yes,' replies the driver. "Well, there are time friends of mine who are stopping either there or at Tilton, whom I would like to see, What's. the names of the hotels 1" "Well, there is Capt. Brown's, and Enoch Green's, and The Sportsman's Retreat." The last-named hotel did not seem to be looked upan very favorably by our pale companion, and he thought he would go to . Green's. Some of the passengers suggested that he had bettor do so, and if he didn't like it to go to Brown's, but thatif he went to Green's he might be donaihrown. Immediately adjoining me was what I would suppose to be a young married couple. Their playful, winning ways so distracted my attention from the fine fields of corn and the darker fields of potatoes that I was involuntarily Sold in abeyance to their every words "My love, what did 'you do with that .100‘ I gave you 1" "Oh, you ; now I'll gd right beak tomorrow, if you don't, atop plaguing me about that." She then playtnliy takes his hat string and remarks to a friend, who sat in front of me, that she had him by a string. Vain world and . fleeting joy ! the hatioame off, the dainty fingers let slip, and the delicate straw was pressed in the sand by the remorseless 'wheel of the coach. There was then a truce to all endearments for it few moments; the golden-haired head of the dainty danisel rested on the broad and manly shoulder of the brave volun teer, who was home on his furlough, and the blush ing. beautiful bride was bathed In balmy sleep. But here we stop to - water horses ; stop in, if yen please; and take a little apple-juice, get a drink of pure water for a poor infant, and, perhaps, Its far poorer parents, who are suffering from the intense heat. All aboard. The driver cracks his whip, and on we go through fields, through pines, up lanes and roads, now stopping to open a gate or let down the bars; then merrily singing through a village ; some pas stinger throws off a paper to an old lady standing in the road, whom the driver informs is a poor wi dowed mother whose only son is off to the war; leave a jug or molasses at Dame Floods; stop at tho store and tell of packages and boxcar waiting at the station for transmission to their destination. Then blow the horn ; off against full gallop, scattering a' grouts of young children playing in the road, who suddenly ewase their gambols to admire the beauli led yellow and red wagon drawn by four prancing steeds, which rush by theta at such a forking pace. Now we' turn up a new toad, Still keeping up the of epeed, but we are suddenly brought to a halt by ajar i fthe coach, which completely over. turns it. Your correspondent is launched in the arms of the beautiful damsel, while the husband IS pressed underneath his fellow-travellers. We, how ever, speedily extricate ourselves. The driver has managed the homea, the screams of the baby have been quieted, the rent pantaloons have been pinned up, the blushing bride adjusts her dress and toilette, and we once more.resume our journey with no damage excepting a few scratches from briars which adorned the byway. The sun Is slowly de scending hi, thetWeet, and we are slowly and cau tiously pursuing the beaten track for a mile or two. ABMs f . nithet on, we atop. Whoalsings the driver.

We are soon slumber ing securely in spotless snowy folds, and ere the sun is scarcely set we are in the land of dreams.. After a refreshing situnbei we awake, and find that, al though it is daylight, it is not quite five o'clock yet. Wo take a stroll over the dewy meadows, and enjoy the freshness of the morning.

But, hark! a lei, sonorous Sound ! Beaches us ; it seems to come fr . = the east — We see the smoke curling lazily from the tall chimney top, And we are reminded, In hurried and breathless ea, Cents, by a little urchin, who has just managed to catch a glibpee of tie, that breakfast is ready, and Waiting par us. After doing full justioo to thesre pest, our appetite being somewhat increased by our early morning walk, we prepare for a plc- Mc party, which has just been gotten up in honor oftur arrival. A oarry-all and a,farm wagon are already at the door, loaded with friends from a Village a few miles distant, who have heard of our advent and come to Mida s In our pleasure party. John gears up Dick and Tom in the large market teem, into which we are placed in company with a bevy of fafefaces whose manner, though extremely Shy at first, soon becomes more genial, and Make the glad al? ring with their musical voices. A. team containing our crab nets, hoes, shovels, fishing lines and poles, baskets of provisions, bathing Suits, pots, kettles, and pans bring up the rear. After an hour's drive, we roach the river. We don our old suite ; one party sells a crab net, another follows with s, large basket, and we' wade into the stream. Now, there is something funny and dexterous in crabbing. Crabs as a general thing prefer shoal, clear water. They glide through it very swiftly, and, of coarse, require to hd Caught while running. There afe two kinds of crabs sought after, known respectively as the hard-shell and soft- shell. The last named are very much prized,and are now wholesaled at twelve cents apiece. Quite a number of boys are engaged in the business. They have a. small box, something similar to a peach crate, which floats along in the water. They have a string attached tp it thrown over the shoulder. The crabs are kept in this 'box until forwarded to New York or Philadelphia. The net used in the capture of the animals is placed on an iron °Rale ' about a foot In diameter. It is about a foot deep, arid formed In the shape of a bag. The iron ring with the net attached is securely fastened to a handle about a yard and a half long. A person expert in the business can capture some times one .or two hundred a day. They glide through the water very fast. You first observe a alight discoloration; you make a semi-eiroular plunge in that direction with your net, and the via tsm'is soon safely deposited in the .crab-box. Of course, you cannot always have pleedure without some Ilttisspain.. Even so in crabbing. You may be in the act of capturing one of the dainty fishes, whin a big brother or friend of the harder speoles manages to pick a piece out of your toe, or a more sensitive part, when down drops the net s and you make for shore. Haiing become satisfied with crabbing, we take a large basket, and a short-han dled hoe, and proceed to the long, dark, muddy fiat, left, bare by the receding tide, seeking for 'soft clams. Theie species of clams bury themselves about two feet below the sur 'face, but they are' detected by their breath ing holes. A good judge, of the article can distin guish at once the (reality of the buried-clams by the size of his muddy air-tube. We finally come ' to a fine bed of the delicate morsels, and proceed to hoe up the mud, and we are soon rewarded for our toil by capturing about a bushel of them. While we have been thus engaged, another portion of our company have been fishing for bine mackerel and moss bankers. Having secured messes of eaoh,ye bring ourepolls to the camp headquarters. A large fire having been built, the clams are unshelled, the crabs and fish are cleaned, the table is being spread, and while the dinner is getting ready, we take a small sail across to the point and come back with • a keen ap petite. Did you ever take a dinner on the bank of a river with a clear spring gushing from its sandy bed within a few yards of your encampment, and with Vie green lap of earth for a table and chairs 1 So It was with us. The cloth having been well filled with pies and make, arid a ean of milk having been produced ; the fish being fried, the clams roast ed and stewed, and the crabs devilled, we sat down, there being no high places to fill or quarrel after. We wer e all Cemocratic, each friend resting on his . ; neighbor. The song and jest passed round, the via wale disappeaced, and the dinner naturally ended, we leive the company, and take the dogs with us and take a strell along the beach in search for snipe. We soon come upon , them.and bag a few dozen,once in a while bringing down as seagull who comes teniptlt gly wain. range. Having secured our spoils, we returned to camp.. The snipe, lam sorry to say, however, did not answer. my expectations. They savored-too much of' fish to be'very palatable. The ladles having completed their allotted task, the boats were brought 4, an, the lines being properly adjusted,lne portion started on a fishing party, and another was content with a little sail in the A slight accident occurseskon one of the boats, which might have been - veryjitioits. • Alit yen are, no doubt; aware; 34 - 4111faAitif atter where, in how small or how' large a Company, an. acknow lodged leader to whom the rest look for guidance.

To the Editor of The Press: Sin: With no little surprise I have read an ad dress headed "To the supporters of the Govern ment," purporting to have been signed by H. P. Wade, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Rebellious States," and H. Winter Davis as Chair- man of the House committee, on the same subject , animadverting with great severity upon the notion of President Lincoln, in reference to the bill massed by Congress at the close of its lost session, to pro vide for the readmission or organization of States in rebellion. It was sent to the President for his ap- proval within less than an hour before the sine die adjournment. He did not sign it, and gate the resr Bona why, in the form of a public proclamation, vittag a careful consideration of its provisions by the entire people of the nation. This act is character• ized, by the two gentlemen before named, as a most dangerous usurpation of power not granted by the Constitution. Lt seems not to have mourn]. to them that, whilst they were charging upon the ntecutive an assumption of power not granted, they themselves, in their very questionable mode, to say the least of it, of - supporting the Govern went, wore assuming a power which did not belong to them. To their names are fixed their respective legislative titles, although in no sense can their ad dress be regarded as a .legislative act. Why at tempt to 'give it, seemkagly, the weight .of official authority, when no more importance can be ascribed to it &bah VOiald belong to the aot el any other two private individuals of capita intelligence and standing in the community? eongTess had ad- . - journed. As members of the respective committees their functions were suspended for the time being, and what ttey did was extra legislative, to every intent and purpose. The semi-otlioial eondemriation Of the President's' act, in withholding his name from the bill, was a clear transeendende 'of anthority, Or abuse of official position. but what wavothe'aot thus nxtra•lelylslativoly,dononnoed as ausurpatitn The bill Involved the solution of eome of the most iiitHcnit uneatlons which Were ever preaented•for the consideration of an American statesmen. •Ilow the Saeslied seceded States were to be restored to their original porltion in the cinvernment, after all their acts of treason - and blooci•itained rebelltov. commit ted against It, is a question wldott has perMexed the minds of the. best men of the nation. Various are the opinions of publics men upon the 'point Itself; and still more various are • they as to the thus am! circumstances appropriate for its disoussion„„Many say, put down the rebellion, compel a submission to the Government, and then, and not till then, die cuss the status of the States in rebellion; then determine in what way, and upon what terms, they shall resume their original relation, to', the Go- The rebellion has proved to be a Tormment most gigantic one, inaugurated and prosecuted by the elaveholders of the Sonth,,With two objects in view, the accomplishment. of either of which would antisfy their fiendish ambf tion—first, 'a dissolution of the Union .t. with a recognition of their so-called Confederate Govern ment, founded upon slavery as Its chief corner stone ; or, second, an extension of their slave Government over the whole territory embraced within the limits of the Union. It was apparent to all men who were conversant with the history of the country, and free from the influence of party prejn_ dice, that the great battle was between slave and free government. - Slavery had commenced the re. hellion which had developed itself in open acts of war against the Government more than two montbs before Mr. Lincoln's accession to power. He found that Government crippled in all the ale• manta essential to a. vigorous .resistance of the aggressive force brought to bear against it: AU,:ita working powers had been directly.or.indireotly un• der thecontrol of Southern men who - were In: the interests of elaTery. It became obvious to all who sincerely desired to crush the rebellion that the only effectual way of accomplishing it was to strike at'slarery itself as the root and cause of it ; but it had for so many years controlled the poli tics of the nation, and through that instrumentality had mo moulded the opinions of politicians, North and South, that it was difficult to adopt any mea sures of hostility to it which would not; meet with great opposition. The progress of the rebellion thus far has effectually illustrated this. En.vironed :by ' Cool dimeulties on esiery hand, the PreSiden:iti'ail mender-in-Chief of the army and navy, eautidualy according to the progressing steps of publio opinion, adopted a policy, as a military measure, modified in the light of developing circumstances arollohappou ing events, having for its objeot the orippUng of his rebels in their greatest source of strengtfv . It will be understood that reference te here made the emancipation policy, into the details of which it is not proposed to go, as to do so would necessarily swell this article to a great length— Sahli it to say that it Is difficult to see how there can be a differ ence of opinion as to its justice and wisdom. Some of the best Union men thought tho President too slow in the adoption of this polioy, and not vigorous enough in practically enforcing it ; and, if the course of legislation in Congress, in reference to the rebellion, and of prominent men aotivir..thyl„ler,_ gishinien, getorreettrrettlient,naleir B. F.. Wade, of Ott*. and Representative H. Winter Davis; of Maryland, were amongst the number:-The President. wrnOt ultra enelagh in hfis prodlivittes. His blows at the black monster in rebellion were not dealt:with sufficient rapidity and strength. The instrument „in,. the Govern ment of wielding the war powers granted by the Constitution was toe lenient in tl%lr enforcement:l too merciful" in hie dealings with those who had been speeding on the rebellion by direct or indirect means. In short, the complaint, with, this class of friends, was that the President was too fearful 'of transcend ing the powers conferred upon him by the Constitu tion. The emancipation policy, as. a whole, was to strike a deathblow to the institution of slavery, as the cause and vital element of the rebellion, and one feature of-that policy was to eall'into action on the side of the Government the dormant powers of the elltve, by appeals to the inetinctswhich govern the whole human family when the proper 'chords are touched; to make slavery the author of its own de struction, by turning its . strength against its own life. Its yurpose was , to, call the slave from the ag riCultural pursuits of his rebel master, whore he was producing the means of subsisting rebel armies, and to induce him to employ the power which the God of Nature had given him in, behalf of his own freedom. • The several emancipation proclamations embodied a distinct military policy, striking atthericit Of. the - :rebellion, and whilst there could be no question as tithe military power of the Government, under the •Penetitution, being ample to sever the relation be tween a slave and his master - in rebellion, a great Many able men entertain the opinion that the Government of the United States, whilst its Con stitution remains unchanged, has no power, by an act of simple legislation, to dissolve the rela tion between master and slave, in any of the States. The writer is not one of those who entertain this opinion. He believes that the Constitution gives plenary power to remove, by legislation, any over shadowing evil affecting the welfare of the entire people as a nation ; but he le free to admit that this view le in conflict with the opinions nf per. " haps a majority of the people. He ntlirms that neither of the clauses commonly relied upon to establish a guarantee of inviolabliltyof slave pia.. party, admits of-such a construction. But a dia- CUESIOII of that topic is foreign to the point la issue here. In this state of public opinion Indicated, the bill in question's passed by the two Houses of Con great! and sent to the President for his approval al almost in the last moments of the session. In that * bill is fbund - a section of which the following is a copy : : " Sac. 12. And be it further enacted, That all persons held to involuntary servitude or labor la the States aforesaid are hereby emancipated and 'discharged therefrom, and they and their posterity shall be forever free. And If any such persons or their posterity shall be restrained of liberty, under pretence of any claim to such service or labor, the courts of the United States shall on habeas corpus discharge theca." Here is no discrimination between the loyal and disloyal. The relation of master and slave Is blot ted out of existence as to all persons, loyal, or rebel, by a single stroke of legislation, and the 'not would, be to abandon• the war polioy of emancipation,.. wielded as a 'military funotion„mad to assume - this new ground, the correetnges of which would lair' doubted by many of the friends of the. President, and denied by all of his. opponents. There were some other sections in the bill of very doubtful pro- priety. They are, however, too long to intioduee here and discuss. But was there not enough in it" to admonish the President of the necessity of taking time for mature deliberation, and did he notadopt the very means of reeking that deliberation profit able 1 If what he - did was an ant of usurpation, then have many acts of usurpation, of similar•cha racier, been committed by several of his illustrious predecessors. On the 6th of November, 1812, Mr. Madison sent a special message to Congress, in'the folloWing winds, which explain themselves : To the Senate and House of Representatives of the Gaited Slates: "The bill entitled 'An act supplementary to the acts heretofore passed on the subject of a uniform rule of naturalization,' which passed the two Houses at the last session of Congress, having appeared to me liable to abuse by aliens having no real. purpose Of effectuating a naturalization,.and, therefore, has not been signed ; and havingbeen presented at an hour too near the close of the session to be returned with objections for reconsideration, the bill failed to become a law. 3 recommend that provision be now made in favor of aliens entitled to the contemplated benefit, under seek regulations as will prevent ad vantage being taken of it for improper purposes." In the sixth annual message of President Jeokson, dated the 2d December, 1834, he said : " I have not been able to satisfy myself that the bill entitled' "An act to improve the navigation of the Wabash river,';which was tent to me at the close of your last session, ought to pass, and I have, therefore; withheld from it my approval, and now return it to the Senate, the body in which it originated." In the second annual message of the same President, dated the 7th December; 1890, he said : "Almost at ,the moment of the adjounsmenit of your last session; two bills, the one entitled' An act for making ars , propriations for building light houses, light boats, beacons and monuments, placing buoys, and for im proving harbors, and directing surveys,' and the other 'An act to authorize a subscriptibn for stock in the Louisville and Portland Canal Company; were submitted for my approval. It was not pout -ble, within the time allowed me before the close of ' the session, to give these bills the consideration which was due to their character and importance, and I was compelled to retain them for that pur pose. I now avail . myself of this early opportunity to return them to the houses in which they 'Tepee. / tively originated with the reasons which, after Ma ture 'deliberation, compel me to withhold my at). • proval."' three' days before•tlii" In 1892, *Oki 'weriF isiiisstil end sent to Presi off6;cl:iolB,:gresik't4iliiiiiione dentadnated the ad d ejliottirn3"Mke7tn PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESD "harbor bill," and the other a bill providing for the repayment to the respective- States of Mt interest actually paid for moneys borrowed by thertrlni account of the Federal Government, and expended in the service of the United States. These bills were retained by the President without any formal veto, and thus defeated. Again, in 1833, the same President, Jackson, sent a natisatietettathe Senkte of the United States, dated the 4th December, 1833, vetoing Mr. Clay's land bill, passed.et the close of the previous session. The following is a copy of the first paragraph of at message gi To the Senate of the United Motes: "At the close of the last Benton of Congreas I re ceived from that body a bill entitled An act to ap propriate, for a limited time, the proceeds of the Sales of the public lends of the United States, and for granting lands to certain Static , ' The brief period then remaieing before the rising of °congress, and the extreme pressure of official duties, unavoid able on spch occult:one, did not leave me amilielent time for that full consideration of the subject which was due to it* great •Importance. Subsequent con sideration and reflection have, however con fi rmed the objections to the blitwhichpresentedthemselves to mv.mind upon its first perusal, and have satisfied roe that It ought not to become a law. I felt myself, therefore, constrained to withhold from It my ap proval, and now return it to the Senate, in which it originated, with . the reasons on which my dissent is fonntled." But I now refer to the disposition made by the same President, on the 3d of March, 1837,10 f a bill deeeribed in a paper, of whioh the* following is a copy,.viz : "Reasons of thePresieent for retaining the bill designating and limiting the funds reativaole los the revenues ‘f the United .Statee : . • " Wass's/91'0N, March 3,1837 .

President Lincoln's proclamation Is an act simi lar to the act of President Jackson as above deline ated by himself. The bill pissed by the recent Congress has Rot been definitively acted on by him. What may be his definitive disposition of It mien Congress again meets, is yet to be determined. He has invited a eonsidefition or its provisions .by the people. Wherein does his usurpation consists Is it. in 'his s retention of -the bill without having up to this time signed it 1 Or does the usurpation lie in the invitation given to the people to aid him in the consideration of its proviaions 1 If this be usurpa tion, it usurpation in the mildest form ever yet • conceived of. It is apprehended, however, that the usurpation intended to be charged is supposed to be found in the conclusion of the proclamation, where it says : "And while - I am also unprepared to declare that the free.

The idea of the learned gentlemen seems to have! been that-the President had proclaimed to the pa-'- Lion that he would give the bill the efficacy of it . law , in his own way, although he had not given it the Executive approval required- by the Constitution In other words, that he would enforce it or not, au cording to the•dlotates of his own will.

Vpon a review, then, of the whole ground : (the time of the passage of the bill, within the last hour of the session ; the' character of its . provisions ; the still apparent struggle of the rebellion, justifying•an honest doubt, 'at least, whether the legislation embodied in it was not premature; and the precedents cited of acts of former Presidents of parallel character;) the charges of Executive usurpation, so injudiciously and so unprofitably made, have dot a. shadow of foundation to rest upon.

PETERBOHO August 811864. Hon. B. F. Week, Hon. H. Winter.Davis4 GENTLEMEN: I have read your protest. It is a etronglyr-reasonbd and instructive paper. Neverthe less 1 regret its appearance. For it willserve to re duce the public good-will toward Mr. Lincoln; and that is what, just at this time, the public' interest cannorafford. It may turn out that Mr. Lincoln 13 the man for whom it will be vital to the national ex • Istence to cast the largest possible vote. Personally he may not be more worthy of it than Dlr. Fremont or Mr. Chase, or some other man whomay be no minated. But if, as the election draws near, it shall be seen that he will probably get a larger vote than any other candidate of the• uncompromising oppoaants of the rebellion, then it will be the abso lute duty of every one' of them to vote for him. The election of a man who would consent to any thing short of the unconditional surrender of those who, without even the slightest cause of coaplaint, have made war upon us, would not only be the ruin of our nation, but It would be-altio the base betrayal of that sacred cattle of nationality which they of one nation owe It to those of every other nation, the earth over, to cherish and maintain. Bat no such consequence, nor any other fatal consequence; would there be, should a loyal man of whatever faults be elected—a man who, because he is loyal, would in so event fall to insist on the absolute submission of those who had canaelessly rebelled against their coun try. 'Hence, though it may be at' the expense of passing by our favorite candidate, we should never. theless all feel ourselyeS urged by the strangest possible motives 'to cast our votes just where they Will be likely to contribute most to detest the oempro mising or sham peace candidate. ler. Lincoln, although an able, honest, patriotic , :can, has fallen into grave errors. But who, in his .erplexing circumstances, would have been exempt -. our them 1 He has depended too largely on the •licy oroonolltation. He has made too much ac count of pleasin'g' Border States and Peace Demo brats. But in all this he has sought not his own ad vantage, but the safety of his country from the harm with which Border States and Peace Democrats .(same thing as Pro-Slavery Democrats), threatened her. Nor has Mr. Lincoln always kept himself within the sphere of his office. Ido nolianean that he went out of It in imprisoning se few treasonable men. He should have imprisoned more. Nor do I refer to his suppression of a few treasonable newspapers. lie should have suppressed more. In almost any other nation "the forged proclamation" would have been visited with the severest' penalties. - The plea that the offence was committed , where war was not 'actual would have been scouted: -Nay, the pre anmption to offer It :would have been lacking. By the way, the city of Now York' is emphatically a theatre of the war. Thousands there with worse than Southern hearts—for Northern rebels are worse than Southern rebels—are constantly plotting war against their country. Occasionally their war comes to the surface. It did so when, a little more then a year ago, it broke out in plunders ' and mar den meaner and more malignant than the world bad ever before semi. It will break out again as soon as some other conjunction of circumstances shall pfornise success. New York not a theatre of the' I war! 'Why, we have immeasurably more to fear I Nom the ever-warring disloyalty of New York and Philadelphia than from the swords and guns of.! Richmond and Atlanta. But what . If there be not ac-. 'mai war, has been none, and will' probably be none in the locality where the press utters treason—may , not the war power lay its suppressing hand on that press 1 If, it may not, then the country may be lost. For, in the first, place, civil proceedings may be too slow to save it ; and, in the second place, the locality may be too disloyal to favor even civil proceedings. New York has not favored them. She has not punished her treasonable newspapers; and that she has not is strong proof that she will not, and is of it: sell ample reason why the war power should. More over, however loyal might be the locality, It would not be right in all cases for the war power to depend upon her motions.- In a matter which is vital to the nation, the nation itself must act. Her life must not be' left to binge upon the will or conduct of any lo es thy, hbwever loyal. , • I have virtually said that a treasonable press Is dapable of.working ruln.to a country. "The forged proclamation," for instance, was a blow at the credit ant:at the Very life pf the nation. But for the in tervention of the nillitary arm It would have done entich.evil, and other disloyal presses would have been emboldened to do more. I, add that if it were left alone to the civil authority to watch the presses In the North, a very considerable share of them would quickly be teeming with treason. If then the war-power is as limited as last Saturday's opinion of the court in the case of The People against General Dix makes it, and if also that power shall submit to that limitation, then" of necessity will the work of d • debauching eNorthern mind by a disloyal Northern press go on toward its fatal result even —mere rapidly than ever. The jurisdiction of Gen. Dix is called in question. It is as ample and abaolote as that of Sherman be fore Atlanta. or Grant before Richmond. Were el. Usens Of New - York to &Ike Government troops in kthat city, he would clifarly have as mush right to strike back as have Sherman and Grant In subh a case ; and M clearly he tirotild np more than they be AUBilife 747 9 - 1864'1. under obligation-to writ roe redresast-thabande of the civil *minorities.

Colorado Jewett has-kindly intervened between that city and its destruction by, the late threatened rebel raid from Canada ;.and that, at the solicitation of "prominent citizens;" and an expense of ten dollars , he crossed into Canada•and persuaded George San ders, who is supposed to hold the destinies of both North and South in his hands, to withhold the thun derbolt which was about to be hurled on Buffalo in general, and the Lockport locks in particular.

This morning they stated-that they felt 'under no obligation to even relieve the anxiety of the citizens of Buffalo, .their.own villages having been swept with fire and sword through a remorseless and law less Northern spirit. and 'that the destrection or- Buffalo and- leading Northern cities would be brit a just retribution. • Yet-I• was authorized- to state, that there was not the slightest foundation for the, rnmor,•or, any cause for fear ; that their purpose andthat of Southerners in Canada was more of 81. conciliatory than a hostile charaoter;and that, inde pendent of their hostility•to - that,mode 'of warfare; they—being under the protection of the British flag— would not permit a raid or any movement' frUm the Canada borders.

WM. CORNELL JaWETT. DANDER OF AN INDIAN WAlL—lnformation that reaches us from the 'Western frontier is ominous of a general war with the Indians whoinhabit our Ter ritories.

The most revolting f v. , '-', ws is, that these savages are led on, instigated in their bloody work. Fiendish as such a "course would be, there is little douht of its truthfulness, for At has been known for some months that white men have been distributing preients of gold arms, ammunition, etc., evidently with the expectation of receiving some service in return.

THU DEBLItie FOR PILCOICITYPQTRETICAL. (From the Richmond Examiner.)

It 113 not, therefore the same peace we desire; and the word itself, ban died- about In this way, loses all meaning, and.: sig nifies literally nothing-set all. It has become.a hate ful word, and should be left exclusively to the use of buffalo orators in a neighboring Slate, if •any of that sort still drivel and snivel. Let us get rid of the whole tile cant,' and. say at once we bre for war, and nothing but war, until, as-Davis is said to have said, "the lost of this generation falls in his tracks," and then that we mean to pass it to the newt as an inheri tance. It is for those who have unjustly and wanton ly invaded our country to offer us peace; and when they do they soil! still offer. it in pain until their armed: nun are withd; awn from the sod of these Confederate Slates, and the felon flag' of stripes is hauled down from every fort within our borders. ,Afler that it will be lime enough to prate about peace..

(From the Richmond Sentinel, hottest 8.1 There are many until istakable signs and evidences that lite War-iS fast drawing to a close. Not, how ever, hat a formal peace is at hand. The North may desire to carry on active hostilities long before it will consent to recognize our independence, and enter into formal terms of peace with us. Among the signs of the times none is more encouraging than the altered and subdued' tone of the Northern Press and Northern 'politicians. We hear not a word now 'of crushing the rebellion in sixty or ninety days, or even within the present, year. Few, very lew,.politielans or edithrs are so impru dent sr so impertinent as to hold. out hopes of crushing it out at all. They are in terrible dread of an invasion by us of the North, and more busy in trying to devise ways and -means to repel /311 Ch apprehended invasion than in renewed 'attempts to subdue the South. - They have'loat all hope that Grant will take Richmond, but are in deadly fear that Early will capture Washington. They keep Grant's army, at tale sickly season, in the moat sickly hole in the South, merely to prevent the juna. ' tion of Lee's and -Early's forces, and - the probable capture of Philadelphia that would follow such junction. In like manner they keep Sherman in Georgia'tb keep Hood out of Tennessee and Ken.' tucky, They are faintly hammering away ht Peters burg and Atlanta to save Cincinnati-and -Phila delphia, They havefbeen.for some time busy whir-: drawing their troops from the tnins-Mlsslitsfppi„and from all - along either shorelorthatniver,•aW from inany,:points on ,the Atlantis „coast, and concentra ting them at positions nesireeto - Washington.

The-hundred thousand hundred 'days , men will also have returned home. .A body, composed 'alHirst entirely of raw re cruits, deficient in numbers as well as discipline, will -be all the rimy they will have wills which to repel inva sion. • Nen will not rush to arms to- defend their homes as they do in the South, for Northern soldiers are common laborers, without houses or homes, and -who live and support their families fromtheir daily ;wages. A war of invasion of the North will sus .perl 'their wages; their daily pay as soldiers, in greenbacks, will amount to nothing. No bonus is offer;d to them for enlistment; no hopes of South ern plunder; will any longer be held:out to them, or, :if , beiti out, will any longerdelude and deceive them; the expenses of living will have quadrupled, and to enlist as soldiers will be to starve their families, The Ninth will .not rise to defend itself ;• but the masses 'will cry aloud for peace! -For, no matter wee conquers, no matter what the terms of .peace—. peake }rill give them employment, without which they cannot- live. The Federal Government is ;bankrupt, and has no means lel t wherewith to feed and clothe rte soldiers'and their families. • - kit not, on the whole, at all improbable that we may this fall invade the North, and on her soil dictate.the terms of peace. At all events, it is worth trying. The North- iejust about to become bankrupt in men and in meant!, and now is the time to push her to the Wall. A.
