The following is an extract of a letter found in the pocket of a rebel prisoner, ta ken near Petersburg, who died on the pas page to the North, dated "Loba Temporary Hospital, Petersburg, Ta., July 17th, 1SG4:" ''The news from the peace party, North, was never more encouraging than now ; they are becoming more bold and defiant every day. Vallandigham has returned to Ohio, and defies Lincoln to ..rearrest him. These things are very significant, just now, in view of the important elections they are to have this fall.

The attitude of the parties to the Presidential contest gives rise to a serious question the most serious of any which can engage tne attention of the true patriot aud good citizen. That question is briefly stated: "snail we nave lasting peace tnroujrn a vigorous prosecution of this war for na tional life, or interminable war, through a peace based upon disunion?" rr. : i .j I xuv iisue is snarpiy ueuueu. The ut- j . . . 1 t.- rt . i j Convention as decisively pronounce for the alternative presented in the question suited. Ihey mean that, or they arc without nieaniug. The opposition to Mr. Lincoln contemplates disunion as a cure for the ills under which we lie. His de feat would divide the continent into fac tious States. Nor is this mere assertion. The political history of the country for the last four years is a mass of over whelming evidence in support of its en tire, its disgraceful truth . And first, in evidence of its truth, we Jliavc the declaration, informal but not ; less weighty (because reiterated and un ! varying), of the rebel chiefs, that the South will not treat for peace save upon the basis of a recognition of its independ ence. The press of the South omits no opportunity to impress upon us, and upon the world, that' peace can only come through recognition. Kecognition is but another name for separation. And final ly, every European nation has come to rejrard the result of this war as certain to be one of two things cither subjuga- lion or disunion, it is tne ciear convic tion which truth brings to every rational, enlightened mind. It" is, therefore, enti tled to great weight, second only to the , resultant fact ; It is due to the opponents of Mr. Lin 1 coin to state that they pretend to believe in the probability of peace and union j through some compromise, the terms of which are not clearly stated. It will be easy to show the futility of sucn nopes, n id lias not already been done. It will not be a difficult task to show that such a belief does not take root in conviction. The leaders of the Oppo sition are men of great ability, and more than ordinary sagacity. They cannot, therefore, be ignorant of the facts which are of public record. Those facts effec tually preclude the possibility of peace aud Union through any compromise, un less the terms involve recognition, and that would be disunion. But let us thoroughly consider this questiou of peace through compromise nf XX ?

I h? comPiise, it would have been adop leu. The chief object in alluding to this matter is to show that when, before the overt act of war was committed, the South had the election of compromise or war, she, through her highest dignitaries, deliberately chose war. The South would not have compromise then. Is it reasonable to suppose that it would accept such an accommodation now? slier rulers have the Southern masses by the throat, and can mould them to their imperious will. They are play ing for a great stake. They could not withdraw from the contest now unless forced into withdrawal. Pride, love of power both inbred and fostered by the institution of slavery would force them to elect, as they declare they do elect, ex termination rather than submission and Union. Early in the struggle, before the Gov ernment had taken the aggressive, Presi dent Lincoln offered peace on most liber al terms. The terms were, briefly, the laying down of arms and the abandon ment of their hostile attitude. The world knows how these terms were met. It need not be repeated here. The desola tion of Southern fields, and the vacant seats in thousands upon thousands of homes, both North and South, bear the record. Still later, amnesty and pardon have been offered by the President; still the chiefs of the rebellion abate not a ti tle of their energy to maintain themselves iu their wrong. They demand recogni tion and independence of a Government they hate. Intimate knowledge of the directing minds of the rebellion teaches that they will never abandon their wicked scheme until obliged to do so by the sheer force of such irou circumstances as control the results of war. There is no ground, then, for hope or peace through compromise; no hope of permaneut peace. There is no such dis charge in this war. Those who go be fore the country upon such vicious pre texts arc not deceived themselves, how ever much they may deceive the ignorant aud unsuspecting. To charge self-decep tion upon them in a matter so unmistaka bly clear would be equivalent to charging them with imbecility. They do not de ceive themselves. This pretext of sack ing the defeat of Mr. Lincoln that peace may return to our borders covers a sinis ter purpose. If they wish peace they can have it but in two ways in a cow ardly abandonment of the struggle, fol lowed by disunion, or by a more yigorous (if possible) prosecution of the' war. Thus the true issue upon which the campaign is to be made becomes sharply defined. None can deprecate the horrors of war or desire the return of peace more than the warmest supporters of the Na tional Union nominees. But they ask for and will acquiesce in no peace that is not founded upon the integrity of the Union and established upon the principles of the declaration of Independence. They rec- ognizo greater evils than war, such as tlm nntinn is nlnrwrfirl. seces- ..,!,,, , ..iLu.j i i. inao on tne nrst motion to substituc. of and is. the overthrow of the Kenub he. hy couiproni P..rt!; vyiaifc. iJiupusiLiuu wuum nave dccu ueiea- not 0nlVinlu vomuiuucu auu aft-uunicuguu, nuu can presume to say that we shall not re- 1 rnt tho htiTnilisinnn- historv or ftlfixico r;- q " . year since, when Lee. with his rebel ar- mv. inv.-inVn" PniinRvlvnnin. and when the fnio nf tlm Tlp.nnWio. wm dp.nided bv the battle of Gettysburg, how prompt wicked uu" v v -"lu"' jj 1" -" I' " . . . and designing men were to inaugurate I the insurrection in New York city, trust- j ing in the hope that the Government was j not able to maintain the supremacy of the t Constitution and the laws.

You must abide the result, as nomination and platform at Chicago. iyou establish it for good or evil. We ask Yet it is to such a peace as this that you to support Abraham Lincoln because our opponents invite you. They ask your we believe his re-election will fully viudi suffrages for a man who cither is pledged cate the authority of the National Govern to such a peace, if elected, or who is de- ment, and fully establish the fact that termined on a war grander in scale and the free men of the loyal State are able bloodier in results than the world has yet to sustain the existence of the Union and witnessed, there can be but two issues ' the Government against the hazard of op- out of the present difficulty. The intelli- gent freemen of Pennsylvania need not to be led like children. They will not fail to compreheud the nature of these issues, and to choose between them. Iu so choosing they choose for their children do nothing of a public nature in these pregnant times that shall not cause com- injr generations either to revere or dis- pise them. The re-election of Mr. Lin- j tagouize us to achieve entirely the oppo colu, and the election of Andrew John- jneuts now antagonize us to achieve entire son as his associate, will indicate to the 1 ly the opposite results. chiefs of the rebellion that the war for Union and permanent peace must go on until these ends shall be attained. It will also signify to the nations of Europe that the people ot the whole United States will, soou or late, become an united people, and the Government remain, as it has therefore been, a star of hope to all the oppressed peoples of the civilized world, and an everlasting monument to the wisdom of the grand old heroes who conceived it. If we could basely afford to abandon the struggle now, the world, mankind, could not afford the sacrifice. If we could afford to bear the shame, and wear the shackles of defeat so cravenly invited, our children could not stand erect'uhder the deathless reproach of our behaviour. As men. as freemen, as pa triots, we have no choice but to stand by the Government as administered. The alternative presented by our opponents is disuniou aud dishonor, which is national death. If a man recognizes the existence of the principle of eternal justice he can not despair of the Republic. They may be some in whom the principle of hope maintains but a feeble existence, unless stimulated by uninterrupted success. Such must be encouraged and sustained by the example of the more hopeful and enduring. I hey must be assured of what the philosophy of history and of events teaches, that danger lies iu turning back, as security lies iu pressing forward. The desolations, and bereavements, and bur dens of war may be, nay, are, terrible, but the tempest which ravages forest and field, destroying the increase of labor, and even human life, is also terrible. Yet it is beneficent. With unvarying calm the" atmosphere would degenerate into putridity, and tho earth would re vive, in endless night. So war involves nations in its fearful vortex that social and political renovation may follow. As a fire sweeping over the fields licks up the chaff aud stubble, yet affects not the solid earth, "so the fiery trial which we are called upon to endure, is consuming the notorious crimes of society. The na tion will issue out of this struggle stron ger aud purer than before. Wrong, such as confronts us, canuot drive right iuto exile. Craft and villainly arc not to be the subjugators of wisdom aud virtue. And whatever crimes may have been, or mayet be, perpetrated in the name of civilization, it is uot now to be proved; either a farce or a failure. But these ca- "" laniities arc not to come upon the Amcri- can people, tor the reason tnat tne masses are to remain true and steadfast in this great effort to establish their liberties up on a surer foundation thau the anomalies upon which they have hitherto rested. The victory is to be won by unreniit- ting labor, and a watchfulness that shall be proof against the surprises planned by! i traitors at home or abroad.

We want the moral effect of overwhelming majorities - as well as the prestige derived from mili- ! tary power and force. "We expect to close the. war as much by the influence of the ballot as the bullet. We hope to stop the effusion of blood by the unmistakable dem onstration at the polls that the war is to be waged till the rebellion is ended, and that hostilities wilL not cease while there is an armed traitor in the field.

An instance of youthful depravity only equalled by the recent horrible child murder in Patterson, N. J., occurred on Friday afternoon at Bristol, Bucks coun ty The crime in this case as in the oth er was a murder committed by a child. The perpetrator was a lad of only eleven years, named Charles Johnson. His vic tim was a child of only seven summers. His name was J oseph Fisher. The dread ful deed was perpetrated in the house where Johnson's parents reside. Wheth er the boy-niurderer enticed his compan ion to enter the house with the deliberate intention of killiug him, or whether thev ' d ciuarrellcd p unknown; unless it shall be ft of fche , one !ly who can disclose it. However that may be, the two boys went into the garret of the house and while there, Johnson, catchiug up a fire arm, shot and instantly killed his little comrade. After commit ting this dreadful act, the boyish murder er, fearful of a discovery of his crime, dragged the body into an alley leadiug into the yard of the house, and placed it upon a pile of shavings, to which he set fire with the intention of destroying the evidence of his wickeduess.

But a short time since, he flung a stone at a party of children, which, however, missed thcut, and struck a woman who was pass ing in the head, almost killing her.

Farmers begin to fatten swine too latel. iSoine do not commence till the first, of autumn, and others even later. The con sequence is the animal scarcely gets un der way when the time comes for slaugh tering him. Our best managers make it a rule to keep the animal growing with out intermission from the first rjeriod of its existence unt?l readj for the pork-tub A- u kePl overwinter, they are fed and kept ! table throughout, and the regular j fattening process is commenced early iu the Spring. A. bushel of corn nvnn thiiQ A. l q . w w m MM early iu the season to a vigorous growing, animal is worth much more than the same amount fed in autumn, and far more thau if fed iu cold weather or in winter. One reason that some farmers find it unprofit able to fatten pork, is that a lanre part of t the process has to be performed when the weather has become so cold that much' of the feed is required merely for sustain ing animal warmth. The best pork raiser we know of has' in one instance grown a pig eight months i T r i - old S(las. to we,Sh fo,nr hundred and fifty pounds in ten months. He has the corn ground to meal and prepares it by pour ing into a covered tub lour pailsful of builiug water to each pail of dry meal. After standing a day or more it all be comes nearly a solid mass, aud makes ex cellent feed. The animals are kept per fectly clean, dry, and comfortable, (not in a close pen, but asruail yard,)are fed with' great regularity, and never quite so much as they will cat, surfeit being carefully a voided. He finds that pork thus manu factured costs him only five cents a pound wheu corn is a dollar a bushel. Farmers who have not begun to fatten their swine regularly, as they should havo done months ago, should commence im mediately. By attending to the particu lars just mentioned they will find the bus iness far more profitable than the too fre quent practice of feeding in the ear,giving the food irregularly both as to time and quantity, and paying no attention to cleanliness and comfort. Theskillful far mer, whose practice we have' already des cribed, finds that the mixture of meal and hot water makes twicea3 much pork as corn fed on the cob, according to careful weighing and measuring.
