The end that all loyal men pray for must be accomplished by; the stern agency of the swbrd. -The pride of the enemy must be broken, and broken so thoroughly that treason will never again dare to raise its head. It is idle to talk of conciliation with men. who seem to meet us half way. It Is worse than coward ly to expend soft.words on those-whose only answer is a slap In the face. The only argument that eau, bring such insolent madcaps to reason is the arg - u• ment of hard blows. The war must, therefore, go on. The conflict against the enemy must be prose cuted with more relentless energy than ever. The iron must be driven with renewed vigor into the very heart of the Confederacy. Enlistments - must go on ; new levies must oe raised ; new campaigns must be planned ; new expeditions must be set on . foot. The wall of fife that encircles the foe must be narrowed and narrowed until It enfolds them like a fate.

There is some difference of Opinion as, to whether . the conference in Hampton Roads fa yet a failure. Many assert that the meeting was merely Initial, and-that the representatives of the contestants only met to compare Ideas and make some basis on which to treat of peace, and that the Southern comanlasloners, when they had fully learned ourdeo termination and ascertained how far we wore will ing to conoede to their - wishes; merelyreturned to Richmond to report totheir principal, Davis". It argued, further, that another meeting must noses. Eerily take place, and that it is premature to talk Of . failure when negotiation hai only besrun. To this - meeting, which is daily expected, a response will be given. The New York Herald; which Shares in this opinion, says _: • "There Is no doubt that the expeotatioas enter tained in the highest official circles .here are that the negotiations will result speedily In the estab llshment of a permanent and honorable peace. i In the course of two or three days there will probably be pubilehed an official statement of the facts In re gard to the recent peace conference In Hampton Roads. It is understood that, while the President bad not fully decided whether he would voluntarily communicate such information, yet If Called for by Congress he Is prepared to respond fully. This will set at rest, the numerous reports in circulation about this 'Matter, many of them started by lute rested parties for effect on the gold and Stook mfr . hots." • THE CONNEBENCE NOT TO BY ADJI7DOBB A PAlLtill [Prom the New York WM.Id:l•• , • To pronounce the interview " is to mis apprehend "its declared objects.

LinOoln with having, In his ,sincere desire for peace, made all proffers consistent with his paramount duty to up: hold the Union. The commissioners have returned to Richmond to report; and as it was never •in the contemplation of the rebel Government to decide anything until after their report had been received and:oonsidered, we see no reason'. why the prospect of peace is not just as good now as it was on the .day Mr, Lincoln left Washington fur Fortress Mon roe. As Many people jumped too precipitately to a favorable conclusion then, so they sink back, with unreasoning haste, to despondency now. Peace, as a sequence of this conference, is still possible ;.but was never very probable. • We append the comments of those journals which accept the failure as un fait accompli, and their opinions of the reasons for it, and the effects it will have on the people both Worth and South • PEACE IN-THE HANDS OP THE SOUTHERN PEOPLE (From the N.

The Southern commissioners oreased our lines armed - with'the certainty of the recognition of- the Confederacy by the Emperor Napoleon immediately, after.the South shall have decreed emancipation. They came to offer to the North the privilege of re cognizing their independence in advance of the French Emperor, that the: necessity of a Southern alliancewith France might be avoided, and the two sections be united in vindication of republicanism upon this continent. Mr. Blairs visit to Richmond was permitted and encouraged -by Mr. Lincoln be cause the purpose of the Emperor Napoleon had become known to the Administration, and they, ap preciated the necessity of an immediate compro mise with the South, or a prolongation of war under circumstances that would inimre the independence of the Confederacy upon terms enforced by the fleets and armies of foreign Powers. The conference at Fortress Monroe related °Wetly to these threatened complications, and the question now is whether the South will achieve independence' by the armed in tervention of foreign Powers or by voluntary Fede— ral recognition..

Much of difficulty that stands in the way, such as the confiscation measure and other harsh schemes, 'may be made to fall whon the arms fall from those' now fin array- against the constituted authorities. Then kind offices will come in to do their healing work ; while the Americanism that is inherited by the people of, all sections of the country will come up as a mighty power of public opinion to compel an - exercise of all the magnanimity that is consist ent with duty to country. THE NORTH - UNITED. [From the New York Sun.] • Journals in his own interest may color the peace conference according to his own liking, but the truth will be very . likely to .Ind' its way, to the Southern„maeses, in which case he will receive censure rather than praise forhaving refused liberal terms of oompromise. The official ultimatum, of Southern, independence- will .have the -effecit of uniting the North more . closely in the Union cause. -That .olass of Peace men who believed . that peace might be obtained through compromise have no alternative left but to acknoyriedge the nocessity.of war, and seek to rtrengthen the strong arm of. the Government.

On the southwest corner, of Ninth,. and' Washington streets there is a; coal yard belonking to Daly & Fortei, and to thq west of this was the lot on whieh the coil oil had: been stored, to the amount or:two thousand seven hundred - barrels. The flames spread through the greater part of this oil with almost the rapidity of gunpowder. The property in the immediate neighborhood consists of three story brickwellinouses, whioh are occupied by respor table 1g -h emilles of limited means, and 'are worth about two: thousand dollars each.- The families in the nefghhorhood sprang from their beds, and, without attempting to secure even their clothes, rushed into .streets, fried. West/ape . from the terrible. deathphat • threatened ; them.- The streets'` Were deep *rith slush, and the rain '. was ' pouring . in torrents. Such a stormy night, it is said, was never known - before in this City. -SWIM who lived in thnolosest proximity to the fire were unable to escape, and perished in the flames. The blazing oil ran 'from .the burning harrels in streams,' down Ninth street to Federal, and fired the houses on both sides of \ Ninth street, destroying them ,and their contents; as if they had .been of straw. The flame., at the caprice of the wind, went up the street and deism again, and , into plsworth,. Washington, and Federal streets. -Fully five squares of .houses, hachtirey heen placed in a row, worein fire at once, and- the. 'scene was one to make the stoutest heart 'quall. There were people escaping from their blaz- ing Mimes, which . contained in many instancestheir little . alt in the world, with no covering but their night clothes. 'There were parents seeking:their children, and little ones - mourning the loss of their parents; but, worse than all these heartrending Scenes, there were men, women, and children lite rally roasted alive in the streets. Joseph H. Ware and- his, family, consisting of: his wife,tive daugh. tors, and . two sons, occupied the dwelling N 0.1.128 Ninth street, the second house below the coal-yard. They all got -Into the street just as they left their beds, and there they found themselves in a river of fire. The family became scattered.. Mrs. Ware had her youngest ohild, a girl of about few gears of age; in her arms. She fell; and Lewis C. Wil liams,,, a member of the. Dloyariensing Rose Com pany; made a desperate effort` to' save them. He had hold' of the unfortunate t 'woman, but he was compelled by the fierceness. of the fiery blast to leave her to her fate and seek safety for himself In filgt4Dirs. Ware, her child, and a daughter about fifteen . or sixteen years 'ago; were burned to death imeherreet, and so horribly mutilated that their re mains can only be identified by the peculiar oircum. stances surroundingthem. Capt. Wire and his two sons escaped ; but three of the daughters aro miss:: ing. Capt. Ware and Ids two sons were all badly burnefi. There were five bodies. In all recovered ; they were taken to the Seoond district station-house: Three of the bodies have been recognized as belong ing to the Ware filially. "One, the body of a man supposed to' bo Mr. James Gibbons; the proprietor of a dry-gcods store, 1133 South Ninth street. There is also a boy not yet recognized, and alum Whose body was found In Ninth street, a short dis tance below Washington street. A fragment of red cloth, resembling the lining of a fireman's coat, loads to the belief that'the victim was a fireman. The re. Udid' are believed to .be those of Samuel McMena min, a member of the 1110 ya men s ing Hose Company. • A general alarm was struck upon the State House bell, and the firemen from all parts of the oily hur- ried to the scene of the conflagration.

William R. Leeds, William An dress, Samuel Patrick, Samuel Williamson, George W. Brooks, and Charles C. Wilson. The jury visited the Second-distriot atation-house (old Southwark Hall), where lay In a heap the oharred remains of five human beings. It was utterly Impossible to identify them, so badly were they burned: One ap peared to be the body of a man, one a child; and the other three adult females, probably all but one members of the unfortunate Ware family. The following are the missing Mrs. Barbara Ware, aged 43 years ; Annie Ware, aged 23 yeara Emma Ware, aged 20 years ; Rebecca Waro, aged 16 years; 'Helen ,Ware, aged 13 years; Isabella Ware, aged 4 years. Albert Ware, aged 17 ;•and Clay ton Ware, aged 10 years, were shockingly burned, but were rescued. They)were thought to be dying last evening. Four of the charred bodies at the' Second district ,station were probably Mrs. Ware and three of her daughters. The other. two daughters are probably under some of the ruins. The coroner's jury will meet at 3 &clot* to-morrow (Friday) afternoon at his office, Fifth, below Chest nut Street. VISIT TO THE ALYINE. The jurors having examined the remains of those at the station.hquse, Vaned the ruins of the fire, and learned that the Damao were first disoovered In among some coal oil, under a shed, sooess being had thereto from Ellsworth (formerly Little Washing ton) Street. There wore immense numbers of olti sena present, and a gioom of horror seemed to per vade them all. Among the visitors were -Dlll - Attoiney Mann and the Grand Jury, so it Wati stated, who desired to view the terrible havoc made by the frightful ravages of. coal oil. Although .this is .an: article of great commer cial importance, and must reoelve consideration-as the medium of an increasing business, yet It is more than probable that the legal authorities will act at once, and 'abolish the plaoe3 where 'largo quantities of the material are stowed away in the thickly built up parts of kW) olty. It Was a distress- -Ing sight to' itand 'andel ruins yeiterday,and contemplate the 'destruotioii- of properly, and the 'more shocking destruotionof human life._ We haie It from excellent.; _authority that ail, ttie pro party destroyed was enveloped within thirty nutiss. The burping oil spread frche house iCo South': frOM -Washington across Ellsworth' street, to Federal street, and runninfdown the cel lar wlndowe'of the -ditrollingti. and stores, Involved the whole of' them In a terrible„ raging, ' leaping, crackling, roaring blaze. Those of :the and firemen who were early at the 'scene say that it was Impossible to awaken the sleeping Inmates. It Is probable that they became awakened and effected' their escape in the rear, saving , nothing but the -night clothes they had on. Amore complete wreck of tenements, stores, furniture and household goods generally has not been seen In this city since the memorable fire in 1150, that commenced in "Brock'fi store," on the wharf below Vine etreot. TERRIBLE AND THRILLIVO scsmes. While the sea of fire was stirring along in 'lts re sistless fury ~ a man whose wife had died on Tuesday Was compelled to eairy her body'from the house. In a few mint the building was in flames. We learrillitit the dead. body of an old •lady'was carried out by several, firemen from a 11()U30 that soon after ignited • and Was in a sheet of [lame. Two horses, valuable aniesals;belogging to Messrs Porter & -Daly, coal dealers, were consumed. One Of the animals ran wildly from the stable into the burning oil, and fell In less than a minute. The other animal perished In the stable. The Franklin Steam Engine, No. 12, the Xoya mensing and, Marion Nose Companies, were the Bret at the scene. The Franklin and the hiloyamen• sing joined in action, and put the water on very speedily, and to this effort may be attributed, the saving of a handsome building. The driver, Hance H. °win, of the Franklin, at the risk of his life, brought the body of Mrs. Ware from where she had fallen in the gutter. Her remains wore it onoe eta. veyed to the Southwark Hall. Goo. W. rinekman, F. IL Golmtre, and Gwin excavated -the ruinscand recovered hho - Charred remains of a man -and woman. James Hemes rescued a'woman,whoseinaine we could net learn, from a house in flamsi. She was buried shockingly about the hands, and slightly injured about the body from her clothes taking fire, Her condition is not considered very dangerous. The chief director, Alexander Philthert, rescued a girl and baby.froin a room, by means of clamber_ ing over a shed. He shipped from the shed with the girl and baby on :his arms, and injured his-bank. They all finally escaped through a narrew . alley. Many of the firemen, citizens, and police OP oars ,distinguished . themselves • in various ways- Just before the liquid flames commenced rushing through the streets these men pelted the upper win dows of the tenements with snossbalicwhich, break lag the glass, awakened the inmate; - sense of . danger. -But- for this the loss of life. Would; un questionably, have been greater than it was. , It may bo stated that the whole of the property destroyed was Involved In flames within the spacd of thirty minutes. The streets 'being flooded with water and snow, the water-courses and sower-inlets being,choked up, the burning oil sprawling with great celerity over the surface, reached froni house to house on both sides of the way, and ran In burn ing streams into the cellars. - This is what Caused such an immense destructioh of houses. Some idea may be formed of the furious heat when it is correctly stated that the paving -stones and Curbstones In the street over which the fiery sea of desolation flowed were'oracked or calcined to a eon , • siderable extent. A tire-plug was heated to redness, and a portion of the rails of the Union Hallway were twisted from their fastenings. This, however, was speedily repaired, and the, travel on the line was not interrupted in consequence. The road goes directly through the, whole of. the buret district. ; Yesterday afternoon policemen were. engaged In pulling down the most tottering Walls, or those moat likely to fall, thus to prevent any accidents. What may appear strange, yet it Can: be' easily under stoodi there were several hundred : barrels of pa. troleum in the northwestern part of tho enclosure that did net take fire. The grade of the yard ran downward from this point, and the wind, fierce as it was, came from 'the north or. northwest. The firemen kept a constant supply of water on these barrels until the height of the conflagration had paesed. • There are several other plaoes In that neighbor hood where considerable quantities of goal oil are stored.

To the Editor of The Press: • Sza : Permit me to , lay before your readers the following sad case, one of a hundred. The captain of a company of colored soldiers was captured at Fort Pillow and thrown into the rebel dungeon. He had left a wife and four helpless children in this eity,entirely dependent on him for support. Months pass, and the brokon-hearted -wife with her half naked, half starved children weep, for the husband and the father, ighorant whether he is dead or alive. AM how many wives and children are shedding just-such bitter tears. At last a Jotter comes from Libby. prison, Richmond. At long in tervals, other .letters come, expressing the hope that some arrangement might be made for his wife to draw his pay. But that arrangement has never , 'been effected. She suffers in patient silence and svjAring. How that frail form is fading 1 Griev ing, hunger, inconsolable grief, •• drink up the spirita, break down the trail constitution,-;and the fell-destroyer, Consumption, grasps his vio thn, and she dies. The husband is still a.pri loner. ms children are motherless, and - in a sense fatherless. - Not one dollar of hilt pay has ever been drawn—Cannot be got at. I was with the children last Saturday' they are with their grand father, whose daughter keeps house, and takes good care of the children ' • but that aged grandfather has nothing but his day's work to support himself and daughter, and these four orphans.. They, as' the or phans of one of our brave soldiers, deserve some aid. They need it. Never did benevolence flow in a more needy or more worthy direction. I will take any one tothe spot and let him see for himself. Fonds lent to " City Pastor, " care of editor of The Press, will be applied to ttd case and other similar cases. .The following sums for destitutesoldiers , families, are herewith . acknowledged : From serape and ends, proceeds $3; soldier's widow, Kansas; L.

There was tome inquiry to-day, but as , sellers did not meet the vie a's of buyers. bat little business was transacted.' The only ealo reported was a lot of 700 bbls spring extras at $7 75. Owing to the advance in gold, there is a firmer feeling in the market for Wheat, and we note an advance of mc• trade, however, was not active. About 107.000 bashels changed ihands at $1 d0§)1 Oi for Chicago extra, and $1 44;141.46.!‘ for liro. 1 spring!
