' the nproes wr, 0 receive ?50 and the
I white men 100 each. All abov these
sums, respectively was to be received by
the b'ikera. The two negroes wr aeonr
by Mr.'Geo D.Jackson of Sullivan co.,
at $5S0, each examined, accepted, clothed
and sworn in, lor two men drafted from that
County. Two or three of the wMe substi
tutes were a!o accepted, and sworn in for
men drafted fror th;s County at SuO

the board of examination had not finished
their labors they wou'd not take person?!
charge of tb?e men until the c(o of the
examination, which was on Friday. On
Tbnrsday at about 11 o'clock, Geo. Holmes
the murdered man, ataried from Wall'" Ho

closely, and ran rapidly down the Mreet
towards the river, cloely ported by three
of thofce having them in charge, and one cf
the white substitutes. Wheo nearly oppo
site C. M. Kocn'a Grocery, irns ten or
twelve rods from the Hole', one of them
fired a piatot at him, frojn about fcnrvrods
behind Another shot was fired after run
ning a few. rods further just before be
reached the canal bridge below Wheclock'a
store neither shot took effect nor stepped
the fugitive negro. He and his pursuers
dashed throngh tbe toll gate and across the
river brj.lge never frteppig to pay toll,
thocjjh hailed and commanded to do so, by
the trusty guardian of that portal. The dis
tance beiweeu the rejro and his pursuers,
was not materially lessened in the race
across the bridge. 'The white substitute be
ins ahead of all others, tried his hand at

him a d fired two more shots at his Seeing
brothef soldier, neither taking effect. Upon
arriving near Dr. DanaV residence the ne
gro threw off hia coat, and, shoes, and rau
into tha woods, w. here or ten or fifteen rods
a regalar chase ensoed and several aho'.a
were fired at him, one of them hi'ting him
neaf 4h backbone passed between 'he ribs
into his rjght lung." f till' continuing to ran.
he was struck upon the head with the pis
tol, which was broken in three pieces.
He was then pushed or fell down, exhaust
ted, bleeding and dying.' To add still more
to the atrocity, ot ibi crjme, the murderer
caught np a clnb lying near ly,; and beat
him over the -head. . Ano'her one of thw
party came op-at this time, threw a stone

made for termination the war between the
two sections. He added, however, that
these Commis-ioners were not tpecially
authorized to negotiate for a te.-Htion of
hostilities or a reptoration of the union,
but thitthey wouid like to have an infor

all prelioiin:iries . with Mr. Lincoln, pro
ceeded to this place, reached here lat,

Union
I bis rroroition was laid before Mr
Lincoln bv Mr Greeley. The President !
at once telegraphed to Mr. Greeley tbe
terms upon which he would propose a set
tlement and reconstruction, to wit:
Tbe full and complete restoration of the
Union in all its territorial integrity; the
abandonment of slavery by the seceded
States, under conditions which should,
while respecting the property-rights of all
loyal men, afford ample security against
another war in tbe interest of slavery.
After considerable correspondence be
tween the parties. It was concluded to re
fer tbe whole matter back to tbe two Gov
ernments for reconsideration. All Dego
tiotioos haTiog been terminated , Mr, Gree
ley , in eompaDy with Mr. Hay, private
Secretary ol Mr Lincoln, called upon the
Commissioners at the Clifton House, on
the Canada side where a protracted and.
pleasant interview was held, and various
questions . under consideration' were dis-cu-sd

The letter to Mr. Greeley cays ifter al-
lading to tbe tender
of safe conduct to
Washington cn the hypothesis that we were
duly aecreditod from lliubniond as bearers
of a proposition looking to the establish
ment of peace, eays "ibis, assertion w-g
accepted as an evidence cf 4n unexpected
but most gratifying change io the policy
of the President, a change wbich we felt
authorized to hope might ternimte in the
conclusion of a peace mutually jnst, hon
orable and advantaegous to tt.a N?rtb and
and to the South. Extracting tao condi
tion but that we should be duly accredited
from K chmond as the bearers of a propo
situs looking to the establishment of peace,
this preferring a hi sis for a conference a.
comprehensive as we would desire. It
seemed to us that the President opaaed a
door which had been closed against the
Confederate Statea, for a fall interchange
of the sentiments, and free discission of
conflicting opinions, and an untrammelled
eflort to remove all causes of controversy
j , ... ,
"We indeed ccnld not claini th
r:ht
bvaoo the opportcritty preserjted,' for. seek
ing a peaceful aelutioa of this nubappy
strife. (' , : ''
We feel csnlJ'iityou mtist share onr
profaufsd regret that tbe spirit which dic
tated tbe first etep toward peace had not
oontitred to animate the eo-inselg of yortr
President. .Had th representatives of
two iorernrseBts met to- consider -ibif
question, tfee rnost ironentous ever eub
taitted to human States rsansbip, in a tem
per cf becoming moderation and equality,
followed as' their deliberations would have
been by the prayers and- benediction of
every patriot and Cfcri'tiaa on. thA-hallta-We
glab. Who is there bo5 bold as t
pvonoince that tfcie "ribtfil waste of in
dividual happinos and public prosperity
which is de'ly ss.ddening the universal
heart, might not have been terminated, or
if the desolst'ou or damage of war must
still be endarsd through wesry yeare of
blood and suffering that there might not
at least have been infused into its condnci
sornetbing more cf the spirit which toftens
and partially redeems its bru'ality ?
' Insfer.d of tbo eafe conduct which we
solicited and whi-b your first letter gave
as every reason to suppose Tfculd be ex
tended for !be purpose of imitating .nego
titstion tn which neither Government would
compromise its rights oa it3 dignity, a doc
ument is presented which provokes as muoh
indignation surprise. It bears no fea
ture of resemblence to that which wae
originally offered, and as unlike any paper
which ever btfore emanated from a consti
tutional Executive of a free people, ad
dressed 'to whom it may concern.'- Il
precludes negotiations and prescribes io
advance tbe terms and conditions of peace.
It returns to tbeor'ginal policy of no bar
gaining, no negotiations, no truces , with
rebels, except to bury tbeir dad, until
every man shall 1 tve laid down bia arms,
submitted to the Government and seed for
mercy. What may be the explanation of
PoWen and entire chareo in tha view
I D
pf ,h, prf fci(Ject, of this TU'Je VHifedfawal
of a conrteoas overture for negotiation, as
a moment when it was likely to be accept
ed, ol this emphatic recall of wcrda of
p-aea jat nttered and fresh threats of war
to the bitter end, we leave to farther spec
ulation cf tv.ose who have the means or
ir.c'inntion to penetrale the mysteries of
bis Cabinet or fathom the caprice of his
jTTrr'al will. It is snouglffor us to say
that we have do cse, whatever, for the
pip-r which hns been placed in our hands.
We e?nld ret trsfsKit it to the President

we rejoice to belisve that there are few, if

at the e.rpensG of liberty, honor and eelf-resp-ct.
If it can be sccirad only by their
submission to terms cf couquesfc, the gene
ration yet unborn roust and will witness
its restoration. If there be any military
autocrat in the North who ia entitled to

masters, and tbey have no more inclination
than they have the r:ght to subvert' the
