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.

golden fruits. It 'may disappoint the
hopes of the Sang,nine by its tardiness of.

Some "good ground," and Ifitsten in a
greater or less df.free the termination of

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

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

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

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<lahrged during :
this season, it will not
o be a matter of stir:
Prise that the army is not now larger than
when the campaign opened in May last.
I doubt not them Slums that a call for addi
tional troops will be made this winter, so
that if the rebels teject all efforts for Peace.
their refusal will be met with vigor and
irresistible power on the part of ate gov 7
eminent.
Sherman is known tb be on thew at
Pall' , and it' he shall achieve decisive suc
cess. our present armies may be quite
equal to the great work of closing out the
rebellion. With au army of not less than
50010 men he has cut loose from Atlanta
and moved for the sea-coast, probably at
Savannah or Charleston. lie will. I trust.
liberate our suffering prisoners ill eorgia.
and it is understood that he-will arm all
rescued prisonets and slaves who may be
found iu his sweep. It is the boldest
moveinent ur the history of warfare, and
is attended with peat perils: but the
country has-faith in Sherman and will l'oll
- hope for his success.- Should he
reach Charleslon or Savannah. I 1,111(11 not

Gee. Butler had a receptimiat the Fifth Ave

he was waited upon by a large number of his per

evening he made)a speech, in whiCh he expressed
hi's conviction thift die result of the late Presiden

cause more important and" decisive than a signal
triumph of slur urine. 111 held it to be a demon

eyes of the werld, have exhausted all the resour

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 ? Blood and treasure
have.been poured out without stint or measure,
until, taking advantage of the supposed depletion
of treasure, bad men hone bawled together, and
by speculating in gold, which ought to be the cir
culating medium, have raised the price of coals •
upon everypoor titan's • hearth and the price of
bread upon every poor man's table. Let the
Government take some measure to stop thittftn-
holy trunk, and let it be understood that the po
lie) of the Government trill be hereafter to pay
no more bounties for the recruitment of soldiers
from- the taxes of the loyal 'North; but, taking
enunsel front the Roman method orearrying on
ar, .bay to our young men, 'Look to the fair
fields of the nanny south t they have refused our.

" A harsh measure, it may be stud, but [sit not

giving hounty to and supporting 'the soldier in

expect to see in arms or in civil affairs a greater
victory than the one ive have just achieved; cud
I think we are now strong enough to make that
otter with dug regard to our interest, our dignity.
and our honor as a nation. - [Applause.]
" it that the most squeamish of all the
friends. of the country will agree with us when
they tied that in truth we have exhausted every
resource of statesmanship' in attempting to obtain
.pe;ke by air offer of amnesty and forgetfulness of
the past, limited only by a subthission to the laws.
We will dwn_he ready to make war—ay; war.to
the hilf—and :ich war as should be made to de
cide the fide et a great nation. 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
