A most remarkable document has re ceUtly-made its appearance in the press of this country, having come to us after a lapm of eight months by way of Man chester, England. Mr: Greeley in a recent issue of the Tribune accepts the British version es correct. The following - is the letter : 14Aw Yozic, July 7,1864. MY Das&'Sol: I venture to inclose you a letter and telegraphic dispatch that I receieedyesterday from our irrepressible friend Colorado Jewett, at- Niagara Falls. I think they deserve attention. Of course I, do not endorse Jewett's positive aver ment.illat his friends at the Falls have " full,ipowers " from J. D., though I do stet doubt that he thinks they have. I let that statement stand as simply evidencing the anxiety of the Confederates every where for peace. So much is beyond doubt. And therefore I venture to le mind you that our bleeding, bankrupt, al most dying country also longs for peace— shudders at Ahe prospect of fresh conscrip tions, of further wholeiale devastations, and of new rivers of 'human blood ; and of a widespread conviction that the Government and its prominent support ers are not anxious for peace, and do not improve the groper opportunities to achieve it,' is doing great harm now, and is morally certain, unless removrd, to do far greater in the approaching elections. It is not enough that we anxiously desire a true and lasting peace ; we ought to de monstrate and establish the truth beyond cavil. The fact that A. 11. Stephens was not permitted a year ago. to visit and con fer with the authorities at Washington has done harm,-whicti the. tone of the late national convention at Baltimore is not calculated to counteract. I entreat you, in your own time and manner, to submit overtures for pacification to the Southern insurgents, which the impartial must pro nounce.frank and generous. If only with a view to the momentous election soon to occur in North Carolina, and of the draft, to be enforced in the Free States, this should be done at once. I would give the safe conduct required by the rebel envoys at Niajgaqt, upon their parole to avoid ob servation and to refrain from all commu nication with their sympathisers in the loyal States ; but you may see reasons for declining it. • But whether through teem or otherwise, do net, I entreat you, fail to make the Southern people comprehend that you, and all of us, are anxious for peace, and prepared to grant liberal terms. I venture to suggest the following PLAN OP AbiIISTNZNI 1. The Union is restored and declared perpetual. 2. Slavery is utterly and forever abol ished throughout the same. 3. A complete amnesty for alt political offenses, with a restoration of all the in hrbitants of each State to all the privi leges of citizens of the United States. 4. The Union to pay four hundred mil lion dollars ($400,900,000) in five per cent. United States stock to , the late slave States, loyal and secession alike, to be ap portioned pro rata, according to their slave population respectively, by the census of 1850, in compensation for the• losses of their loyal citizens by -the abolition of slavery. Each State to be entitled to its quota upon-the ratification by its Legisla ture of this adjuitment. The bonds to be at the absolute disposal of the Legislature aforesaid. 5. The said Slave States to be entitled henceforth to representation in the House, on the basis of their total, instead of their federal, population, the whole now being free. 6. A national convention, to be assem bled as soon as may be, to ratify this ad justment, and make such changes in the Constitution as may be deemed advisable. Mr. President, I fear you do not realize how intently the people desire any peace consistent with thO national integrity and honor, and how joyously they would hail its achievement, and bless its authors. With United States stocks worth bat forty cents in gold per dollar, and drafting about to commence on the third million of Union soldiers, can this be wondered at ? Ido not say that *just peace is now attainable, though 1 believe it to be so. But I do say that a frank, offer by you to the insurgents of terms which the-tmpar- UM say ought tote accepted will, at the worst, prove an immense and sorely need ed advantage to the national cause. It may save us from a northern insurrection. Yours, truly, (S4med) HOZACZ Guitar. Hon. A. Lincoln, President, Washing ton, D.C. P. S.—Even though it should be deem ed unadvisable to maka an offer of terms to the MAX I insist 2 that, in any possible case, it is desirable that any offer they may be disposed to make should be received, and either accepted or rejected. I beg you to Invite those now et Niagara to exhibit their credentials and submit their ulti matum. H. Perhaps nothing can more fully illus trate the utter hypocrisy of the leaders of the Black Republican party—nothing show more conclusively the hollowness of their professions and falseness of their as. sertions, than the above letter from Hor ace Greeley, the acknowledged leader of the Abolition press. Compare this private letter with the public declarations of the nibune of July, 1864. The one voluntarily confessing the truth of all the conserva tive Opposition asserted; the other brand ing them as traitors and discouragers of the Federal arms ; the one liberal. even extravagantly liberal in its terms to the conspirators ;. the other violent, bitter, nnoompramiing, revengeful ; ; the one vaunting the prOver of the North, desiring the evils of war, boastful, arrogs , ii yranni cal ; the other timid, did4coirage 1 •earful• submissive. • With the country burdened with three billions of debt, Mr. Greeley proposes :to Pay *400007 00 W more to reimburse the South for their lost "slaves I And thits the deception goes on. Thus has it been practiced upon the people from the d ay when Chandler, fearful lest the wise *pugs pf: the few statesmen then left , : to therßeptiblic should prevail, telegraphed' that- - the -" Onion wee not worth a Unite without blOodletting,! down to HotastereelOY, the uncompromising champion of Bliek - Atepublicut fanaticism writing priVatt letters begging for peace, and " ahudderini ..the pre,ect of se h u l a e in e edptkoe,n "wholesale dew. lotions" and " new rims of human blood :" and reminding the Washington jwiterof our " bleeding, bankrupt, almost dying country."

Tie (*.treat Itithatimed. Richmond and Petersburg have been evacuated, and General - Lee with the Con federate army has retreated towards North Carolina, probably to join Johnson. The news of the fall of the rebel *vital:has sent a feeling of gratideation through the Noriiersi Ire-irteupb as it has never' ex perienced before. It is felt on all bides e t a as indication of speedy peace and a united country. We have patiently waited until the latest hour, in order that w e m i g ht h e enabled to give our readers reliable infor mation-of the operations which have been crowned with each encouraging success, Our regular " News of the Week" column gives a summary of the war news up to Friday evening. We continue our report from that date : . . On Saturday morning the 25th • eOrps. under Weitzel, was on the north Lank of the James, about six miles southeast Richmond. The Ninth' corps Was along the Appomattox river, and in front of Petersburg. The Gth cone extended from the 9th along the Boydton road al most to Hatcher's Run. The 24th was on the Boydton road at Hatcher's Run. The 2d corps was on the lloydton road near the intersection with White Oak road. Then came the 2th corps along the White Oak road, and Sheridan's cavalry on the extreme Federal western flank at Din widdie Court House. On Saturday the battle was begun by Sheridan and the sth and 2d corps. They made a determined attack upon the Con federate works along the Boydton and White Oak roads. They i fought from day light until about two n the afternoon, when the Confederate troops gave way and abandoned their works. At two o'clock in the afternoon, Sheridan and the sth gyps pushed the Confederates back to the - Five Forks, near the South side railroad, thirteen miles west of Pe tersburg.- A large force of Confederates was cut off from the main body; the Southsid° railroad was soon reached near Sutherlapd Station, and the 2d corps was at once moved forward ; at dark the cav alry, 2d :and sth corps, were all on the Southsidi, railroad. General - Lee withdrew his troop° to the north bank of the Appo mattox, and during Saturday night pre pared for the evacuation of both Rich mond and Petersburg. On Sunday, morning the entire Federal line attacked the Confederate works. The 9th corps attacked Petersburgb, and the 6th corps attacked the Confederate line west of Petersburg. Sheridan, the sth and 2d corps, turned east along the Southold° railroad and Boydton roads, and advanced towards Petersburg. The 24th corps was in reserve. Sunday was the day of fiercest fighting. The battle raged from Deep Bottom, along the lines to the Five Forks, thirteen miles west of Petersburg. For ,over forty miles length the troops were in 'conflict. .The Confederates fought to cover their evacuation ; for during Satur day night Lee began to draw them off to wards North Carolina. The Federal line gradually advanced' at all points. Sheri dan marched east along the Appomattox. The 6th and 9th corps broke through the outer Confederate works at Petersburg. By noon, the Confederates, excepting at Petersburg, had all withdrawn to the north side of the Appomattox. The Fed eral lines gradually closed around the city, and at half-past four in the afternoon they extended from the bank of the Ap pomattox,_ three miles west of Petersburg, around to the river bank again, just east of the Lee spent all this time in withdrawing his army, and during Sunday night his rear guard abandoned Petersburg. most at the same time his troops evacu ated Richmond. The line of retreat 'was westward. towards Barkeeville, and from. the southward towards Johnson's camp, in North Carolina. Early .on yesterday morning Petersburg was discovered to be evacuated and the Ninth Corpse marched in. At half-past eight, some of Weitzel's negro troops from Deep Bottom, on the north aide of the James, merchatl up to Richmond and found it deserted. It remained for the negroes, carefully spar ed from doing any of the fighting; to be the first to enter the captured city. The great siege is at last ended. Rich mond has fallen. The losses of these con flicts, which have continued almost with out intermtsion for five days, are not known. _They must be enormous. Part of Richmond was in flames when Wet zel entered it, and all the heavy guns and much valuable property fell into his hands. The Confederate retreat is west, towards Berkesville. The Richmond and Berkeeville railroad is used extensively. Grant Started all his army on a march northward across the Appomattox towards Burkesville, to intercept their retreat, if possible, but the Confederates hate had so much time that tthey will probably succeed in getting off.

Advertiser • . •, • " The Rev. M. D. Conway, the pioneer abolitionist of Mdissachusetta and editor of the Cbmwasouvealth, is now out in favor of the reoognition or the tlonfalltracy. He says that as slavery is now Out of the way, there is no prelatic for.continuing the war on the South." Mr. Conway is well known as a radical Unitarian preacher. He %Val — located in Cincinnati for a number of years, and left for Boston in 1861. He is now in Eng land, and represents the extreme anti slavery sentiment of the country. The Herald's Washington ttorresponden ME " President Linooln fully believes that there will be no more fighting of any con sequence, and has full confidence that Lee will surrender his army at. no distant day." Ye It'not about..time now to have an other prediction from Seward I The Democracy of Michigan knocked nfr in the late election 20,000 of the 25,000 majority by which the abolition Republi cans. carried' the State last fall.

The much abused State of New Jersey keeps herself all taut, both politically and financially. Not only the State, but her towns have a repugnance to burdensome debts. The financial condition of Jersey City, for instance, is as follows Receipts for 1864, _.51,5 0 .2,062 31; expenditures, $1,516,663 18 ; balance on _hand, $5,399 13. The World says that au admired Demo cratic Statesman, in times put, was called u Old Bullion," for his rigid adherance to the doctrine of his party in favor of hard money, and suggests that Tttaddeus Ste• vena, the bead of the Ways and Mauls Committee, would be fitly designated " ()Id Paperkite." Mr. Wm. L. Kelley, late of the Park House, has takene th plade. recently oc cupied by Mr. John Zimmerly, and will continue to keep it as a boarding-house and lodging place for travelers. Mr. K. is regarded as a pleasant landlord, and we recommend him to the patronage of our friends in the country in their visits to the city. . The Farmers',Hotel, at the corner of French and Fifth streets. has been taken by Messrs. Worden k Dunn—two men well qualified to make good landlords. The house has been ,thoroughly repaired and renovated, inside and outside, and is now one of the most pleasant places for the accommodation of travelers in the city. The need of tenement houses in the city is greatly felt. If the holders of re cant lots would improve the present op portunity to erect comfortable and desir able dwelling houses, we are satisfied that the investment would be profitable to them, as it would certainly be a great benefit to the city. A gentleman at the Astor House table, New Yoris, asked the person sitting next to him if he would please to pass the mwe iard. "Sir," said the man, "do you mis take nie for a waiter ?" " Oh, no, sir," was the reply, " i mistook you for a gen tleman." A isolate of thirty-four guns was fine , on litonday evening last in celebration za the evacuation of Richmond.

It began to rain almost as soon as they started. The Confederate pick ets were found two miles from Hatcher's run, and five miles east of the railroad. These pickets were drlien a mile and fell• back to a strong line of Confederate works, four miles from the railroad. The rain continued nod grew more heavy.. The, Confederates hod (Hoovered Grant's movements and hurried forward reinforcements. The Federal advance was checked; lighting began; repeated char ges made to break the Confederate line ; the charges were repulsed ; ono Federal division lost four hundred men ; - and on Thursday morning the Federal column was still checked by the Confederates: On Wednesday night sn artillery battle began in front of Fort Steadman at Peters burg. Heavy cannonading continued until two o'clock on Thursday morning. The battle began in earnest on Friday. Lee had massed his troops on his right., upon the line of the Southside road andentrench ed them a few miles in advance to await the attack of General Meade. The position occu pied by our left on the morning of Friday was on a line with the Boydtown plenkroad, which nine almost parallel with the South side road, and not mere than six miles distant, and between Hatcher's run and the interseo-. tion of the Quaker with the Boydtown road- The details of the fight, as given in the dis patch of our correspondent, show that although at first • the enemy succeeded in driving a portion of our left wing, the column was trendy reinforced, and the rebels were in turn driven from the field, and at the close of the engagement, -oar forces held the ground occupied by the enemy in the early part of the day; It would appear that in the morn ing we lost the k 4 Five Forks," which are just beyond Gravelly run on the Boydtown road ; but this position was regained on the next day.. Federal reports of their losses in the recent battles between Sherman and Johnston, south of the Neuse river, in North Carolina, have been received. At Averysbord, the Federal loss in killed and wounded is reported at four, hundred and eighty-four. At Bentontrville the Federal loss is stated at one thousisd killed and wounded, and two hundred and fifty captured. •On March 23d the united armies of Sherman, Terry and Schofield were encamped along the Neuse. at Goldsboro', and for some distancie west of it. It was announced that Sherman would not, move for some time, as he intended to rest his men and procure supplies. Sherman left Newbern on March 25th, for Fortress Monroe, and sailed up the Jame, to City ,Point on the 27th, and had an interview with Grant. Sherman's army on March 21st, formed ,a semi-eircle, the western flank being at Ben toneville, and the eastern flank at Goldsboro'. Oa March 22, Sherman established- his headquarters at Goldsboro', and gradually moved the center of his line forward, until all his troops were concentrated between &stone villa and Goldsboro'. Sherman's line faced the north, and the Confederates were north and northwest of it, with their headquarters at Raleigh. Sherman now has all his troops under his immediate command, and his line stretches along the south bank of the Netts& The indications are that he will march to wards Raleigh, fifty miles northwest of Golds born'. Sherman has now at least one him dred thousand men. Large amounts of sup plies for his army have been sent to Kinston.

We hope our neighbor has not heard of a similar occurrence, which is said to have occurred in our vicinity, and does not mike • a heartless allusion to it. Tun Runny or Wutta..—We have heard a great deal about " The Rights of Women, " from many a so-called " Reformer," but we never taw them more felicitously set forth than in the following lines, By one of " the sex, " Mrs. E. Little ; " The rights of women, " what are they ? The right to labor and to pray ; The right to watch while others sleep ; The right o'er others woes to weep ; The right to succor in distress ; The right, while others cure, to bless ; • The right to love when others scorn ; The right to comfort all that mourn ; The right to shed now joy en earth ; The right to feet the soul's high worth ; The right to lead the soul to God, Along the path' her Savior trod ; The path of meekness and of love ; The path of faith that leads above ; The path of patience under wrong ; The path in which the weak grow strong ; Such woman's rights ; and God will bless And orawn their champions with success.
