The obscene stories, and buffoon jests of the Presi ' 'dent, are merely intended to hoodwink the. People. Haiing a natural tendency ~ for : such ,e.oaree entertainments, they come eaiTto him; but there is in him, - "beside vulgar humor, something which .malses, him clangorous, it is the cunning said: duplicity referred to by Dr. BROWN SON. • When 'AL,EXANIDER . STEPHENS, Vice ,Peesident of the rebel Confederacy, sail ed l isp •to Fortress Monroe, and asked • permission to visit Washington, in order "to biting about peace, he was denied per• 'mission, because he came clothed with power to negotiate. Ile was sent back to Richmond, as soon as Mr. Lnecoi.N discoveied the, nature of his mission. i rhiS, was the second time the Rebel Plqvernment tried to open negotiations, :preparatory to bringing about a peace: • §ltortly after errth.aEN's failure to reach •*tishingtoti,. Mr. LINCOLN, in reply to A friendly correspondent, declared that • no propositions for peace had reached birafromthe rebel authorities, and when 'SO Shoithi, they would be properly con , eidered.,•Rere was another exhibition of his cunning and duplicity. No prop ositioiasTor peace had reached him, he said, and why? simply because he would not permit those entrusted with them, to the presence or his imperiaplighness. Tae correspondence the other day between the President, and C. C. CLAY ani J. P. RoLcostn, further illustrates the low and dangerous characteristics alluded to. Vice President STEPIEENS' at tempt to reach Washington to negotiate , having failed, the next resort, in order 'to bring about a cessation of hostilities, was attempted through the parties in question. HORACE GREELY was. select ed for the third party ,and no Abolitionist ' in the country eould object to him, on account of any partiality he entertained for the rebels. Things went on smooth ly enough in the preliminary co.rres . pondenee between GREELY and the rebel representatives, until there appear. ed to be a prospect of a friendly meeting of the parties. At this stage of the pro ceedings cunning Ans took a whole niglitto Consider the situation, and then dispatched the following to Mr. GREE.LY: MeNeroa I ,VmeizioroN, j*ll „ IS, 1564 To-Wisosi rr Mat CONCETIN: any proposition which embraces the restor ation of pesci., the integrity of the whole Union, and the abandonment of slavery, and which comes by and with an authority that can control The armies now at war against the United States, will be received and considered by the Executive Government of the Unite States, and Nall be met by liberal terms, on substantial and collateral points; and the bear er or bearers thereof shall have sate conduct both ways. (Signed), The reader will at once see that this demand was intended to put it stop to all further correspondence. Theis is but one power, on earth, which "can control the rebel armies," and that is the rebel Government; and Mr. LIICCOI,3 demand, therefore, simply means that if the rept' Golernmentiwilt disband its armies, land rob its people by freeing their slaves, men, its propositions for peace "will be considered by the Exec utive Government of the United States." This proposition is but a repetition of Mr. Latcma's emancip ttiun proclama ti tu,ian will have precisely the same effect in arousing and nerving the rebels to renewed-exertion. For, what induce ment have they to lay down their arms'? If theyodistr t nd their armies and overrun their country with freed negroes, then their terms oloacrit gonsidered by ABRLITAM LINCOLN—or, as that func tionary styles it the Executive Govern , ment of the United States. litlediest'Arig's" enact seems to h'ave forsaken him in this last emergency; he should heve treated CLAY and HOLCOMB as he did Vice President STEPHEN'S. la tying:entered' into a correspondence :cy,ith,thera, he was fairly .driven to the wall, -and forced to acknowledge that' no peace is. , possible with his consent as long as,there is a white man to be con scripted to tisk his life in fighting for the freedom of a degraded people, who will'not fight to free themselves.

To this condition we have come at last. Our great struggle for National unity has been perverted into one for the emanci pation of &people unfitted to be free; and those Who have - been entirely instru nidlittiAtilltrodnaing the change, cannot be induced to take part in the contest.

In order to break the force of the evident and often re-. tleated desire for ;peace iron:iv:rebel ihorities, our neighbor, An the best of mith, adopts, astrile, the Mate radanent: of Col. JAcqcns and EDMUND KIRK re garding an imaginary visit by them to Richmond. The narrative of WESTLEY GREEN, the Japaner, was not more bra zen than the one in question. And yet the necessities of the Administration are so great as to compel it to adopt it. A single. paragraph from KIRK's letter adopted by. the Commercial as truth, ought to satisfy any one of its absurdity. Says this KIRK: "JEFFILON DAVIS Said to me last Sunday, (and with ail his fault.' believe him a man of truth): 'This war must go on till the last of th la generation falls in his tracks, and his chil dren seize his musket and light our battle, un less you acknowledge out right to self-govern ment. We are not lighting fur slavery. We are fighting for independence, and that or ex termination we will have." The most bitter opponent of hiss. Davis in the country, never considered him a trifler, or one given in the least to levity. Fle was before being oppressed with the cares which now engage his attention, an austere recluse, shrinking from all save a very few intimate friends and acquaintances. Is it at all likely therefore, or is it possible that he, at the present time, has leisure to listen to a mere adventurer, wholly unauthorized to make any propositions whatever re garding the contending sections? This is but a dodge of Ans.'s to break the force of the evident desire for peace in the Southern Confederacy; the fact of the Abilitionists being compelled to ac knowledge JEFF. DAVIS "a man of truth," in order to make out their case, is but an additional illustration of the desperation of their sinking cause. If a coppirhead - 'were to compliment the arch-rebel so, the unfortunate offender would be threatened with transporta tion at least. We ask the aymlner,..i.ll whether it endorses KARR'S estimate of JEFF'S veracity; if it does not why does it insult loyal men by giving It publici ty? We demand in the name of this pa triotic community a categorical answer. One paKof the mlitary programme prosecuted this summer has been very successfully performed. Sherman has reached Atlanta after a most extraordi nary campaign, in which more march ing over a rough country, and more bat tie-9 were fought, and more successful flanking occurred than in any campaign on record. The last movement, which placed him in front of Atlanta and gave him possession of the line of railroad connecting Atlanta and Richmond, was a successful stroke of strategy which seemed to take Johnston unexpectedly and at a disadvantage to himself. It compelled him to come out of his en trenchments to try the effect of a sud den attack before Sherman, as he sup posed, could be in a situation to hold his position. But the plan of immedi ately entrenching every place where this army made a halt, was found an admirable protection, and Johnston was repulsed with heavy loss, and after wards driven back behind the entrench ments at Atlanta. Rumors are rife that Sherman is now In Atlanta, the reb els have evacuated it. If this be so, as we shall know soon by telegraph, it will prove that Johnston's army must be greatly inferior to Sherman's in num bers, and tend to confirm the supposi tion that he has sent a portion of it to Richmond to reinforce Lee. Atlanta is an important point to hold, not only on account of its railroad eommunications, but because it Is a town, the manufac tories of which helped to supply the rebel armies with the munitions of war. Having this does not cut off rebel com munication entirely with Alabama, for the Montgomery railroad running through Alabama, intersects at Macon, a hundred miles further southeast which connects with Savannah, and thence to Richmond by the seaboard line. The tenacity with which the approach to Atlanta has been disputed shows, how ever, what its importance is to the reb els, and its possession by our troops will embarass the rebel operations very SJ riously. A. WASHINGTON dispatch says it is ex pected by the War Department that the 500,000 troops will be forthcoming with in the prescribed time—fifty days—and that no draft will be necessary. We have already a credit of one hundred and fifty thousand men over and above the previous calls, which will leave but 310,- 000 on the present draft. Representa tive recruits, re enlisting veterans, &c , will make further important deductions, so that it will require only a vigorous effort on the part of the people to fully satisfy the demand, This is simply in credible. The idea of making the peo ple believe that we can raise 5130,000 men during the short space of fifty days is preposterous, under present circumstan ces, and in the present reduced state of population throughout the country. A. vigorous effort on the part of the people might certainly do a great deal towards the completion of the quota, but that would be. all, and no man in the full use of his senses could imagine that the en ormons number of 500,000 volunteers and substitutes could be induced into the service. Such an amount would be suf ficient, and more than sufficient, if rais ed at the commencement of the civil struggle, to reduce the laboring propor tion of such a country as this is to a very low degree, what, then, will he the consequence if this number be added to the two millions of men which have al ready been levied. It is impossible for the country to raise them, the draft will come, and after the draft will have swept the remaining population off the coun try, ruin and national bankruptcy will stare us in the face. Say what you will, ruin will follow our present gigantic endeavors, and this Adminstration will cease when the country will be drained of all its immense resources, or when some sensible man will be elected to the Presidential chair.

The Territories of Colorado and Ida ho are claitning the attention of sonic 01 our wealthiest men of hosinestind the hardy adventurer and the Mdustrioin emigrant arc watching with a serutini2 log eye the progress nr failure of thosr, who have preceded them on the adven turous enterprise. Many end contra dictory are the reports spread about con (Truing those territories, and it iv difficult as yet to determine which would he the most advisable plan to follow, to go there immediately, or re main at home. In our opintf-n, the at ter would be far preferable to the former se i e etion, at least for the pr,kent. of two risks that one is c•rt iinly the safest by which your life and property is less endangered, and for this rYftson we deein it :elvisabre to wait until the al counts are cithi r confirmed or de nied, when a man can cuter OA the en terprise with comparative safety without placing his life and property in jeop. ardv. It is the interest of those who hold 1.1.nd and estates in that locality to represent the country es a land of prom lee, far surpassing in nature; wealth and resources our most favored States and territories in America, even Califor nia itself, in order to induce immigra tiOn, and by that means raise the prices of land sti high that they could reap a rich harvest, and till their pockets at the expense of honest labor. For this rt.a son do they invent stories of miners re turning home after having enriched themselves to an incredible degree, and pretend that the depredations an.l hos tilities of the Indians amount to noth ing. But the statements of these specu lators are daily contradicted by the ex , perienee, and the reports of those who were so foolhardy or unfortunate as to emigrate thither, without sullich•nt au thority to excuse them for their rash ness. The information we receive fro m these settlers is anything but Inviting, and by all-means derogatory to the great pretensions of the Territory, and the speculators who have placed their in terests in its future prospects. Thou sands are represented as being perfectly destitute :of food and the necessary means of subsistence, and all those who are in a condition to do so, heat a hasty retreat towards their former homes. The country Is represented as being sterile and - barren, and until these faults are cleared, we would advise no one to endanger his substance and maybe his life by,entering on such a hazardous en terprise. Prisoners in Fort Lafayette Accounts have been published: from time to time of applications made under the recent act of Congress, for the re lease of persons incarcerated in Fort La fayette by the Government through the War Department. In addition to the cases of Marsh, Allen and Palmer, an application has been made (in the part 01 Joseph W. Binney. A similar rgturn was m ide by Major General Dix to the order granted by Judge Retts in the case of Binney as was made in the case of Palmer, viz: That the subjects cf the application were held by order of the President of the United States to answer before military tribunal upon charge of violat ing the common law of war, and of vio lating the blockade. These returns were demurred to by the respective counsel as issufficient, in that they did not set forth the commis sion by the prisoners of any offense cotr nizable by a military tribunal. The points claimed are analagous to the points urged in the Marsh case, which were fully reported at the time of the argdment, the main point in these cases beini, that the offences for which the accused are held are not within the jurisdictioh of the military authorities, and not cognizable by a military tribu• nal.

' The Foreign Policy o -Engle, . E , It is a curious fact that during the tcr.. gress of the late attack upon the Minis try of Great Britain by the Tory party, and the affiliated clans of the opposition, that the real cause of the non inter Te ndon of the Government into the affairs of Denmark is not stated, or even hinted at by the slightest innendo. Yet it is well known that the failure of Great Britain, under the leadership of Lord Palmerston, to take a share in the con. test, does not indicate that the intermed dling spirit of British insolence has in the least been eradicated or extinguish ed. The conflicting interests and feel ings. which now di viti.r the Court, are the true causes of English forbearance; and, it is no secret that the Queen and her daughters are strongly German in their sympathies, while the Prince of \Vales entertains the liveliest regard for the interests of Denmark iu her struggle with so tremendous an adversary. The Princess of Wales, it is believed, has al most come to an open rupture with her royal mother-in-law on account of the bitter hatred she very naturally evinces toward the enemies of her nation. Whit'- ever may be the feelings or predilections of the Ministry on the suhjres, they are placed in a delicate position by the firm ness with which the Queen maintains the Germanic aide of the quarrel. The fallacy of the doctrine of inter vention has long ago been exposed to the consideration of Americans, but the first application of the principle in Eng land arises singularly enough from the accident of an antagonism of opinion between the Queen and her advisers. By the course which the Ministry was forced to adopt, their retention of pow er was seriously endangered. it has required all the address of the veteran statesman at the head of affairs to extricate his party from the difficulty and maintain his ascendancy in the House of Commons. In addition, the ablest men of all parties have in this instance given him their support, and chief among them we find the name of John Stuart Mill, who, in a letter lately published, exposes (in a manner which indicates the novelty in England of the sentiments he advances,) the folly of the system of intervention. Ho gives the opinion that a more verbal protest, or expression of disapprobation., is all that is to he expected from a govern ment not directly interested in a dispute. Ile combats the idea that great nations should consider themselves as a divine- Iv-appointed police to oversee the do mestic affairs of smaller countries. It is title that in some cases, that the protection of weak nations from injury might be aecompliOed, but it is un• doubtedly a sound principle that non intervention is the correct theory of Government. In practice it has ever been found that intervention is made the cover of designs upon the independence of nations, which are subjected oy more visvm . ful sovereignties to the operation ot their theories. It is doubtful whether tilt. history of the century furnishes sinele instance where intervention has really benefited the cause of free Gov ernment. The interference to he dread ed ha that which comes from professed friendliness. When the spirit of liberty exists in a country at all, it always has abundant vigor that it is able to tab cal e of itself, and the people should I,:c;ine those offers of assistance whitd, !vt: dangerous in them.elves. If the two. pie of England vliould he convinced of the folly 01 them intermeddling by an es knee of th, benefits of their pr, sent position, a great and radkal improve ment ot the publ , sentiment of the whole ,vr,rid may rem% from the clean,-e, Sherman's- Destruction of Rebel Manufactories. A Correspondent with Sherman writs The destruction of the will, at Ross W, ;1 proves to have been a very severe v.- to the confederacy, In !oldWon to fjouring mills, which were veil' Vete and extensive, there wire large and well appointed mills for the manufacture of clothe. The regular monthly pr—lurt of these estahl,shruents was 10,000 arils of cotton and 15,000 yards of wooten goods—principally Finch gills as were used by the army. The machinery, which was of the best and most improved patterns and inventions, was wale at Patterson, New Jersy. The mills were thoroughly destroyed \ The operatives, some three hundred Women, Cr' thus thrown out of employ- Ment, and will he sent North it they wish. It is understood that nearly all of them will avail themselves of this pmposition. From the fact that Johnston left theist, mills a it It all the manufactured and raw material accumulated at them is evi d, nee that he did not retire front the K , IIt.RHW with any great deliberation. This feet alone is sufficient that he deem. eel les position Isfore Marietta one that c„uld hold. Considered only with reference to the injuries inflicted upon the Confedercy in the destruction of Government manufac tories and work shops, the campaign of Sherman lies so far resulted in immense irreparable damage to the rebellion. The extensive establishments for the manufacture of ordnance, and numerous ,tbpr mills and workshops have been :I , str , y,d by Davis—the great foundarkes arid iron works at Etowah and Allston. na by Gkn. Ssthofleld, and now the mills in which the clothing of the army has hitherto been made, besides scores of small mills and shops on the route from Reaaca thus far. Attonipt to Burn the Continental. One of the most daring attempts to burn a steamer was made at Memphis on last Tuesday, of which the Times of that place givts the following ac. count. Shortly before nine o'clock last even ing some daring scoundrel on board the steamer Continental, which had just ar rived at this port on her way to New Orleans, emptied a quantity of inflamma ble splint on her texas, near the pilot house, and ignited it, hastening to the shore in season to escape from those who were quick to pursue him. and who by immediate exertion subdued the flames before any great damage was done. or the steamer endangered. A. striking feature in this ease is the fact of the boldness displayed by this outlaw, and the heartlessness manifested by him known that a large number of passen gers were in the cabin at the time, and flung others quite a number of women and child' en. Too much vigilance cannot be exercised by our river men in the future if such cases as this are not unprecedented. Until the perpetrators of such inhuman acts are discovered, their infamous league. broken up, and the eulpables brought to justice, the exercise of watchfulness and a_constant readiness for such occur rences is doubly called for and due those who venture themselves upon the river. The firing Into steamers by guerrillas Ilia not thus far proven one halt' as injurious to the shipping interests on the river as the attempts of these incendaries. A. FRIEND of ours, residing in New York, informs u 3 that the Peace party are getting very popular, and that their rauks are being strengthened by.the daily accession of immense numbers to their party.

Porch and mullet have been brought from Lake Champlain frozen perfectly solid, and on being put into a tub of - water s have conic to life "as lively as ever."' A female convict in Sweden is in ice on experiment. A man was found 'hite4 in Switzerland who gave signs of life after being frozen for nine months. The power of stopping while the woild4oes on may be the next wonder. Ice.honses may soon be advertised with. codifort able arrangements for skipping axtepoch, or waiting for the next generOnis.- TUE English are receiving very aevere reverses in New Zealand, and the native valor and love of liberty is too much for their few troops to cope with. The rais• representations of the English Govern ment anti its organs, deserve to be pun ished severely. As is usual, with that Government's policy, the natives. were represented as the fiercest of savages, and desirous of returning to the horrible custom of canibalism instituted by their fathers. But having been informed on 1 that subject, we are able to inform our 1 readers that the Maories are a brave, en- litslitened race, who have made great progress in the arta of civilization, and only wish to defend their liberties, which i the English wish to annihilate.
