As to these mediums," said lieu
; tenant Caldrwood, tlioiiehtfully,
j "my opinion is that they will take

ruation in return. I never had any

belief in their ability to tell you any

Still, as he is walking abroad in New

he claims from there. I do not credit
his being sent out by Gov. Brown.
Templeton said Baylor objected to
hU communicating the above facts to
me, because I was identified with the
"Daei tfynuirfy," and not likely to
agree to any terms of peace that
would Ins unacceptable to the Presi
dent. You may have remarked, that the
AVw York Time maintains, as by
authority, that the rescript declares
one mode of making peace, but not
the only one.' Tbe abler organs of
the Administration seize this sugges
tion and hold it op ia vindication of
Lincoln from tbe charge that he is
waging war to abolish slavery, asd
will not agree to peace until that end
is achieved.
Mr. Seward, too, in his late speech
at Auburn, X. Y., intimates that
slavery is no longer an issue of the
war, and that it will not be interfered
with after peace is declared. The:e,
and other facts, indicate that Lincoln
is dissatisfied with tbe issue he has
made with the South, and fears its
decision.

that the platform is in accordance with

gincc reading McC.'s letter of

acceptance, I sec no reason for pre-,
ferring him to Lincoln. j
I am induced to think, from the in-'
timations of the peace papers and of
individuals, that there will be a con-
siderable minority of the Democracy !
of the North who will not vote for !
McClellan, and that tbey may put up
some other candidate.
His nomination has not been greet-
ed as cordially as was anticipated,
and the Republicans are evidently ia
better spirits than they were before
the convention at Chicago. Perhaps
the fall of Fort Gaines and Morgan,
and of Atlanta, many have caused I,
tbe apparent change of feeling in the .
ortn. It is thought those event,
caused McClellan to ignore the plat- j
form, or the construction given it by 1
the unconditional peace men, in his ;
letter of acceptance. I remember j
that Dr. Macker said during his visit
here about three weeks since, that the
Northern peeple were as unstable and '
capricious as spoiled children, and
that although a large majoritv seem
ed resolved for peace, the capture of
Richmond or Atlanta would cause
most of them to renew their shouts
for war. Certainly they are greatly
encouraged by those raptures, and
seem persuadwd that the end of the
"Rebellion" is near at hind. The
Republican papers now urge Lincoln
to employ all of his Navy, if necessa
ry, to seal up the port of Wilming
ton, which, thev say, will cut us off
from all foreign supplies and soon ex
haust our nieais for carrying on the
war.
Yon may look with confidence to
an attack on Fort Fisher re long. I

of Southern birth, residing in the
North, whose des!re for a a independ

The census tables of "occupations,"
just issued at Washington, afford ma-
terial for instructive studr. Accord-
ing to the last enumeration, 12.500,-
000 inhabitants of the United States
are engaged in the pursuit of gainful
occupations, and out of this aggre
gate 2,693,000 are of foreign birth.
Analyzing the returns applicable to
immigrants, we find that 94 9. 164 were
born in Ireland, 835,50i in Germany,
311,779 in England and Wales, 12,.
000 in Scotland, and the remainder
in Scandinavian countries, France,
Japan, and British America. The
approach to equality in the numbers
of the Germans aad the Irish is one
of the remarkable points of the com
parison. Tlie rapid increase of the
German element in the United States
has already attracted attention, and
it now appears that the proportion
of skilled workmen among this class
is far greater thaa among the Irish
There are 308,000 Germans engaged
