tTIII-11Mill ZIMiIDTLI". Wednesday, November ..13, IRGI LETTER "ROM WisiilNGyON Editorial eorreSpondenee.of the Franklin Repository , WASHINGTON, Nov. 18,1861 Again we have whispers.of Peace. How the National hear!! throbs at the utterance of the word. Now thatthe country is as sured by the solemn verdict of the people that no peacelinvolving disniemberment or dishonor can. - be attained during the next four'years, the faintest star of hope that glimmin s in the dark horizon of grim war's desolation, is greeted on every hand with most fervinit prayers that it may break lipon us in the noon-tide of-triumph. The people want Peaee; not the Peace of Chicago, that would shame the living and blot the meinory of the ileinE • that. would 'exchange the sail exactions and sacrifices of war for anarchy and the supremacy of , treason; but the, Peace that iv illire-uni e the States; make North and mith again one people, with a common Cpistitut ion. a common Freedom, and a - commini Glory. ,This is the hunger -cry of the Nation. It comes not from the faithless, lint from the faithful who have stood resolutely against traitors 41 arias and their subtle. treacherous allies in the North; and to its consumation their best energies will be devoted, ~No mere abstractions; no pride of opinion; no mean ambition; no sanctity for the records of statesmanship no trem bling for the shifting sands of old duties as they are supplanted by those of to-day, can 'stand in the way of peace. But one Issue can warrant protracted - -war—the ntity of the States. That once attained, the mission of the sword is ended, and the peaceful channels ordained by government mast give the sequel of-this bloody drunni. T,o this end—the preservation of our common Nationality—and to it alone, has this war been prosecuted. Weak men have thought otherwist;:, bad men have wished otherwise, and so appealed to en pidity,,,,and prejudice to give heart and hopc.to our relentless foes. That eman cipation has sprung . from the chaos of ei vil•war to strike treason in its most vital element of power, is nut a perversion of the great object of the conflict; but an - aulliary - to its grand cousamation, and was a necessity as imperious as the laws of gravitation. it has no sanction in the civil powers of the government; but front the war powers of the constitution it comes clothed With all the ceremony of law, and .while those-powers are called into exercise for the common safety, there is no appeal from the inexorable deer ee of military ne cessity. But war mutt one day cease, and when its appalling shadows; shall have passed away, then must the ditties of ad ' • justment return to the people in their sov ereign capacity, or to the lawful channels Imown to peace. lam glad'-to see the discussion of Peace North and South. it cannot but bring golden fruits. It 'may disappoint the hopes of the Sang,nine by its tardiness of. fruition; 'hut every newspaper article. every speech, ever= public resolution • coming from loyal hearts, must fall upon Some "good ground," and Ifitsten in a greater or less df.free the termination of • this wanton, cruel struggle. I was glad to read the pointed rentuks of Gen.-But derNew Vomk last week. and also the able and well matured articles of Col. Forney, ("Occasional,") iu thei•Philadel .= phia Press. They fully appreciate 'the great issues with which we have to grafi _ ple: They have the grasp of Mind and moral courage to still the wild shouts of pattizan triumph with die solemn Antic — victory has imposed, and decline to ft eel - and foe that the- late Nationallyindicat inn of its own life, shall he the signal for magnanimity,iuotintolerance : for gofer - (may re-uniting, not dividing. and that as the country has just declared for Nyai: un til its insulted lads shall be resPeeted and -supreme, the boon of prihaise: i the silver lining of conciliation and hope shall gi out with the verdict demandieg the pre• servation of the Republic. dO not speak advisedly, but I shall be disappointed if President Lincoln does not, itr liis-forthcoming message, leave no chart _ nel closed to efforts for Peace. Should lie do so, lie would fall short in the di-allege of his highest and holiest duty to the'lleo --,ple. Just how he will present the i are - to the country-, he must he. the best judge; and lmowing as I do that he is; of all others, the nest solicitous fur an eiyly and honorable close of this exhausting 'yar, ' any prepared to to his estions and councils white he presents • , them to Ate world. lie may not go so far as many would wish, and maY go beyond . • .what others wield advise : •but 1 have abiding frith that lit will keep his heart steadily fixed upon the star '2•if enduring Peace, and exhaust his renewed powers 'to make -tugged ways sinootkand crooked _paths straight for tlu• Nation to Crown it self with perpetual Vllion. . It is worthy of note howit mere wins, per of Peace vibrates upon the chords of the National heart,: A few dayiago there were rumors of movements in ;he insur gent Stateslo6king to rcdonstruction : and gold toppled f((rty p( r cent:: the whirl of speculation wits :Ir - rested : bulls mourned in the inarts 'Of commerce. and there was renewed activity in the legitimate (than: - nels Of business. Ido mot share the spa's !twine joy tha i t springs -from some ill-de lined conviction of the immediate dawn of Peace. It is not visible to the coidobseP ver: it has no tangible form mound-which to gather hopes that the conflict is'aliont to close. No action has beta taken in the' rebel . St tit's looking to an immediate breaking up of the power of treason ; Litt the. People who have thus far bowed to the ter my of crime are widening and deepe ling the chaser between 'them imd t: m the ot , :t.les:; de!-:pttileg who ha've given (1 theni desolation nod mdurning for pony( and plenty.

With their leaders, there is nit hope. J e lf rq ' sta l Davis will nottexchange• his flail Empire, thOugh thick with wanton tombs and st4icken with consuming sorrow, by his o mad perfidy: Desolated, bereaved, and shrouded in woe by his own act's, still it is the only spot of earth that owns him as potentate, and he can surrender it only to meet the hissing scorn of the living or to die in infamy. To the long suffering but now restive victims of his colossal crime must the govermffent appeal ; and we await the issue.with mingled hopesand fears. If the doors to Peace arc closed by their refusal to thrOw off the hated, dead ly yoke of treason. then must the Sword fulfil its crimsoned work. and subjugation with its witherin4 retribution, must close the war. With such an. alternative, whet Would . not err MI the side of conciliation to spare his own l'air - 14m1 so said a . destiny ? - strengthen thatlmpe of Peace the p vt .rnin e nt must IT fully pr6iared for mu.

The last call for troops has but little more than supplied the losses of alie summer campaigns and the Withdrawal of veto . ram; by the expiration of their tel of service. Certainly not over 1:10,000 men 'have been actually put into the service ninler it. Naval credits and credits on previous calls exhausted two-fifths of the number, and the persistent, systematic etliats of faithless men have measurably defehted the filling up of our ranks by t'o cmraging desertions. The previous call for 700,000 men did not put 50,0011 actu ally into the army, as the latitudinous ex emptimis and the payment of conunuta tiun relieved almost every conseript, and NVhCil itlis considered that all the three years' men of 1;•. , :ill were tiis for defence, and herein 'till he their ,afety.

The danger is not now from movements such as,Stuart, Jenkins and 'ream:land made in our midst with two or three thou; sand men, but from small bands of despe rate, thieves who will cothe, if they come at ail, to plunder and destroy indiscrimi nately as far as they can do so with rea sonable safety. ;Chet' have their• spies 'among us in the guise or refugees and in various other assumed characters,iind are perfectly famili:u• with the condition of our people and the prospects of plunder.

[Applause.] "Who shad hinder them from returning I And if they will not come back, who shall complain Let us not permit the rebel, ufterhe has fought tis long as he can, and then,' if he chodsea, comeback. Let us state some-time, perhaps the Bth of Jan uary—for the association will be as good as any —fir all to lay down their arms and submit to the - laws, aiwhen that ur has passed, to every twin who shall s to proffered anauesty of a great and poive nation, speaking in lat.!, in charity, in kindness, in hope oT peace and quiet forever to its rebellious sons, I say then let us meet hint ofthem with sharp,quick, decisive war, which shall bring the rebelipm to an end forever by the extinguishment of such men, whereerer they may be found. [Applause.] . " 1 - low is that tube done ?

Therefore, I look upon this victory as the one which has decided the war—decided it, if not in a military point of view, vet overwhelmingly as a civil victory, which, after all, decides tlit fate of nations everywhere. "To this it may be answered: if we carry on the war tithe the strength and stringency %litchi have suggested, how shall we ever live in the same land with the net with who in we thus ghtt Let us go to the teachings of history, anad draw from the history of thatdand which we were once proud to owl' as the mother country.
