All ,that I learn leads to a directly opposite belief. ' The strength of the Reuellitm, is_ in,its military, its army That arinv dominates all the country and 'all the !people within its range. Any offer of terms made by cuy man or men; within that range, in opposition to that ;army,a is simply nothing for the present ; 1 because such wan or men have no power whatever to enforce - their side of a cow promise one were wade with them. To illustrate: Suppose refugees "from the Son li and peace •then from the North get to to her in convention, and frame and -proclaim a compromise embracing a res toration iif the Union. In . what way can that compromise be used to keep Lee's army out, of Pennsylvania? Aleade's ar. my can keep - Lees army 'out of Pennsyl vania, add, I think, can ultimately drive it out of!exirtenee. - But no paper com promise to which the controllers of Lee's army are' not agreed can . at all effect that aroty. in au effort at such a compromise we would waste time which the enemy would itdprove to our disadvantage, and that would be ell: . A compromise; to be effective, m nst . be made either, with those .who control the Rebel army, or with the people, first lib erated teem the i dominion of that army by the success of our own army. Now, al low me to assure you that no word or in. timation from that_ Rebel army, cr from any of the men-controlling it, in relation' to any peacefeemprouiise, has ever come to my knOwletige or belief. All charges and insinuations to tlie contrary are de. ceptive add groundless.
