The Peacs Movement
for a we& "past, the daily press has kept
thecountry in a ferment over the prospects
'for a speedy peace. The tacts appear to be
that Messrs. Stephens, Hunter and Campbell,
were -permitted to come through our lines, to
Hampton Roads to have a peace talk with
our authorises. They were met by Secreta
ry Seward, who was shortly afterwards
joined by President Lincoln. A free con
rersation, we presume, was had relative to
our difficulties, and after all was said that
was necessary to be said each parJy returned
home the Rebs to Dixie, and the President
jind Secretary to Washington. What real
ly took place is known only to the parties
enjraffed in the conversation. Itis surmised,
however, that the conference has furnished
no other solution to the question as to how
the war shall be ended, than that contained
ma vigorous prosecution of the war. A few
sduys will reveal precisely what took place,
at least so the telegraph announces.

these sciences, we have no doubt that both
Cotter and his readers will be benefited.
Remember Cotter that "perseverance con

' " I
jrtBWc publish elsewhere, in this
week's papier, a mdsfc graphic picture of
the doings iiPthc Natioual House of Rep
rescn tatives, during tlie passage''- of the
err eat est measure that has cngagebVa de
liberative body since the time, when the
Old Continental Congress passed the im
mortal Declaration of Independence. We
allude, of course, to the passage of the a-
mcudmcnt to tlifr Constitution, forever a
bolishiug slavery within the United States
As there is no doubt but that the amend
ment will be ratified by every loyal State
and at heart by a large majority of the
people both North and South, whether
residing within loyal limits or outside of
them, we think wo may safely say that
we are now for the first time a free peo
ple. Slavery 1ns always been a drag, as
a millstone, about the nation's neck, and
would have been abolished long ago, but
that the solution of the problem was not
plain to the Statesmen of the land. Lon
ago the first minds of the country, Was!
ington, Jefferson, Madison, 3Ionroc, the
Adams's, Jackson, aud hosts of men of like
mental calibre labored to briii? about the
same great end, but the times were not
ripe for it. It needed a rebellion, such
as is now shaking the government to its ecu
ter, to open the eyes of the people to the
immensity of the evil, and to give that
strength and courage to our statesmen
which was to be exerted to make us free
indeed. The deed, however, though late.
has, thank God, been done at last, and we
can now hold up our heads before th
world, and exclaim behold a Govern
ment in ours, as perfect as the natural de
pravity of man will permit it to be. The
great, good deed is done; the great first
cause of our troubles has been consigned
to oblivion, and it but becomes us to
unite, as one man, iu the whippiug of re
bellious children into the strict line ol
their duty to make us a people blessed
even bcyoud the moht sanguine expecta
tions of those who fought, bled and died
that we should be both happy and free.
The Congress of 177G and the Congress
of 1SG5 will be remembered aud houored
so longas "liberty" stands as a word iu our
vocabulary, and represents a principle
which has, from the beginning, and will
continue to the end, added fuel to the
hopes of the oppressed and downtrodden
everywhere. Reader the dogma that"all
men are created free and equal," is no
longer a pleasing fiction as regards these
United States. From this time hence
forth it is a fixed fact.
Next week we will endeavor to give the
vote ou the amendment, iu the House, so
that our readers may know who arc, and

ms thrnnrr nf witnesses nours into the
rallarie3 : there is an air of confidence n
--n i
sine almost to exultation on the Union
sido, while a sulleu gloom settles over the
pro-slavery benches.
Archibald McAllister, Dem., of th
XVIItth Pennsylvania District, reads a
beautiful Daner, in which he justifies his
change of vote, and casts his ballot against
the corner stone of the Rebellion.
Alexander A. Coffroth, Dem., of Penn
sylvania, XYI District, follows in an un
answerable and manly argument, to snow
the oowcr to amend and the policy to a
mend. Applause on the Republican side
"reefed these new accessions to freedom.
C 12:45. William II. .Miller, of Pcnusyl
.vania, XIYth District, ("who was beaten
at the last election by Geo. F. Miller, U-
nion,) espouses ;pro-SIavery Democracy
and insists on keening his party foot on
the ni users.
The iralleries are ecttins crowded, and
the floor of the house is filling up.
Anson Ilerrick, Dem., IXth District o
New York, next gave frank and states
manlike reasons why he had changed his
views, and shall change his vote
In the midst of the, speaking, and that
buzzing which always characterizes a cnt
ical vote upon a great question, it is whis
pered that three Rebel Peace Connnis
sioncrs, Stevens, Hunter and Canipbel
arc on their way here that they were at
Citv Point last nisht. A few believe but
ml J
most people say, "gold gamblers news.
I:o0 p. m. The crowd increases.
Senators, Heads
of Bureaus, prominent
civilians and distinguished strangers
fill
the spaces outside of the circle.
The interest becomes hitcuse. The dis
ruption of the Democratic party now go
iug ou is watched with satisfaction and
joy upon the Republican side of the
House; anxiety and gloom cover the ob
stinate body-guard of Slavery, whose con
tracting lines break with the breaking up
of their party.
James S. Brown, Dem., of Wisconsin,
spitefully indicates his intention to vote
against freedom.
Aarou Harding, of Kentucky, a "Bor
der State Unionist," bless the mark !
makes a melancholy effort to poke fun at
vouug Democratic converts, and rams the
struggling nigger back uuder the protcc
tion of the sacred Constitution.
Martin Kalbflcisch, Dem. of Brooklyn,
X. Y., reads a long pro-slavery composi
tion, which excites little atteniion and no
iutcrcst.

and of humanity, aud so astounded the al

To two Republicans in particular does
the nation owe a debt of gratitude to
James M. Ashley of Toledo, Ohio, and
Augustus Frank of Warsaw, New York.
They held the laboring oars.
The Democrats were sure of defeating
the measure by a large majority up to this

not sure of success till last night.

Talking to the Point,
A letter from Savannah says :
"Speaking of subjugation, Gen, Sher
mcn has a very terse way of meeting this
difficulty. To a proud lady who said to him,
'Geucral, you may conquer, but you can
subjugate us, he instantly replied
don't want to subjugate 'OU,I mean to kil
you, the whole of you, if you don't stop
this rebellion.' To another, who wanted
to know of him how long the war would
last, he said, 'well, well, in ins rapid
earnest manner, CI don't know: perhaps
six or eight years, and then twenty or
tvTcnty-fivcycarsof guerilla warfare; long
euough to destroy this whole generation
. i ii' .i
aud than we 11 begin anew, in tins way
he dashes their arrogance, right and left
to the winds, and they leave his presence
utterly confounded, and, at least, wit
respect to the Yankee General."
Many curious bets have been made ou
elections, but perhaps the most success
ful oue was that made by a Mr.-R. Grid
Icy, of Austin, Nevada. At an election
recently held iu Austiu, he bet with
Dr. Ilerrick, the wager consisting of
sack of flour, which the unsuccessful bet
ter was to carry on Ins shoulders throug
the streets of the town to the tune c
.jonn jsrown. iur. uridiey lost was on
n a im next morning alter tuc election, and
preceded by a brass band aud followed by
a crowd, marched through the streets car
rying the sack weighting 50 pounds, on
his shoulders, amidst the shouts of th
populace. It was afterward agreed to do
natc the flour to the Sanitary Coinniiss
ion, It was put up at auction, sol
for S350. It was agaiu donated to th
Commision aud sold again until the sum
of $G,000 in gold was realized. Startini;
for Sau Francisco with the sack Mr
Gridley, in less than a month, had realized
over $o3,000 in gold. On Decembe
13th he loft San Fraucisco for Xew York
city, where, it is said fabulous sums arc
piled up iu anticipation of his arriva
for the benefit of the Sanitary Conimis
aiou.
Xew countries have wants and habits
peculiar to themselves. In our widel' ex

medicines ready prepared are more em
ployed, and are iu fact a greater necessity
than in the old countries. Dr. Ayer

confidence in this class ol remedies than
had ever been felt before. Physicians
instead of discarding them, really favor
the use ready at hand antidotes for disease
