ifestso great a desire for peace on the ;

case as to convince the worid that they
were destitute cf the means for sustain-

fortresses the French were not in a
ux::i,Ai l0 reduce. The result was the
,,.hlpiele humiliation of Sardinia.
When the French Directory cent Gen.
Clarke to propose an armistice in 1797,
after ArcoU, Napoleon would not permit
him to enter into negotiations because the
future Master of Europe saw that unfal
tering audacity and fiery energy were
the keys to ultimate triumph, not a ces
sation of hostilities or an armistice.
Napoleon was in a disastrous condition f
in April, 1797, when the Austria, feel- j
in their own wounds and not perceivin I
the weukness of thet ri-'iny, proposed the
: armistice of Leoben. The result was i
the peaca of Campo Formic, sohumiliat-
inc to the eld Emmre of Austria and
o I
glorious to the young Republic of France, j
What plainer confession of weakness
cn the part of the apparently-successful
invader than Napoleon's seeking for arm
istices while in possession of the old cap- '
ital of Russia ? Alexander, du;ed upon
tbp Viomat, had learned that th (
i" :
can adventurer, become Emoeror Iv his
ambitious ability, never offered su-en-
sions of. arms, except to get the better of
an adversary by seizin- the

Napoleon confessed that his consent to udifted hats and swellin? voices make
the armistice of Pieswiu or Neumark, in j
lio, tvas p-rps iue rreates; biui.der
! smile on htm again. That armistice added
i Austria to the coalition ag-ainst him and
j Irought the Allies to Pans in the suc-
ceedin year. He also proposed an arm-
j istice at Leipsic, tut the Allies who had
accepted that of Pleswitz to perfect their
plans, cover the j unction of the Austrian,
and get ready for a crushing, concentra
tive advance, had to oyh sense to accord
a "let up" to an adversary who knew
how to profit by such a "slip" on the part
of his enemies.
Finally, take as a lesson our Tacubaya
armistice in IStV. ictonous at Lontre-
ras and Cherubusco, Scott was "deeply i
impresed," through interested represen-!
taiicns of others, British prominent, says j
Rip'.y, xi. p. 317, "with the danger of j
seizing the capital of Mexico-" Al
though he knew from what they had done
what his troops could do, he halted and
offered negotiations. That pause cost us I
two bloody conflicts Moliuodel Rey and
the storming of Chapultepc.
An armistice is always a fortunate let
up for the weaker party to regain his
wind, and re-coiiect his senses, and get
ready for another struggle, in which a
lucky blow may floor the preriot victor.
Since the davs of Troy etery war, es-
pecially with such a government and such
people into rebellion, has taught, and
ehould teach, the truth of the hackneveu
quotation to "fear the Greeks even wh-jn
bringing gifts." For, rest assured, no
Government ever offered concessions cr
asked for suspensions unless conscious cf
defects sensible to itself and impercpti-
1 !e to outsiders. Cor. Army and Navy

You who differed from our friends" so
recently here have had an opportunity of
examining their sice of the case. If they
were true and loyjil to the constitution cf
the country and tAe eld flag of our fath

If their sympathes were with the gallant
soldiery that 2ie carrv:n? our cause to
the height of success upon the points of j
their bayonets, they could have shown j
it. " !
Well, then, waen the news came that !

Jeff. Davis comes North, as he did a

their influence with him to induce him to

was this difference between Jeff Davis
and me. I paid for my education, Jff".
didn't for his. He was taken at a ten
der age and placed at West Point, and
your father and mine was taxed to pay
for the instruction that rescued him from
oblivion. We nude the very common
mistake of judging of his head rather
than his heart, and did not notice the vi
per that was ceiling there, ana which we
nursed into life to sting us if possible to
death. When his schoolboy days were
over, Jeff was sent off west here at the
gorornment expense and spent a year or
so surveying around Calumet, fishing and
lounging, and shooting grcuse at govern
ment expense and eating them himself
He then married into the government

Taylor, who wasy-cported by thejovern

resistance.
There are some things that I cannot
approve in the prosecution of this war.
But we must remember that war always
brings its calamities that are ins-operable
from state cf war, and whatever may be
the petty views of individuals upon the
non-important events cf the war, the man
lLat EOt star:d l7 his country now,
and faithfully serve her in ail
things, is unworthy cf a name cr place
among honorable men.
The leaders of the South Vant no peace
except upon the basis of a reccgniiion cf
the right of secession which we will
never grant. Concede it ence. and all we
love is gone. When we come together
for an election, and the question is about
to be decided by a count of votes, up will
jump seme uemagegue ieu cr), "ion i
I j .in .
do it, for if you do I know of soma state
I that will secede." No, gentlemen ; it is !
uureasonacte.
le. We must fight i: out, and i
when peace is obtained, it must be a last-.
ing, permanent peace which shall bind
this Union together in bonds stronger and ;
more eacurm than tne eternal nths r ;
peace wrung from this traitorous crew, if
necessary, at the point af the bayonet and
by the strong right arm and best Hood of
our nation. Let us accept no rcconatTup-
tion. I have lived for nearly 3;ty years
under the government, and 1 neer expect
to fiui a better; and I repudiate all ia-i
novations, and stand firmly by the Unisa
of these Mates and the wciuututuu of my
my
fathers. I have had, in the ceur?e cf my
life, to swear many timet to support the
Constitution cf my country, and I love to
take that oath. Others may scout it, but
the man who cannot cheerfully take and
; ker the cath of allegiance to the land
cf Lis birth, or the country cf his adop -
tion. d-ssrvei not a Lcm in a land cf

Thea defend this Government an J ; u,,ve P-" J
sustain only the men who sustain it The rebel Generals Gordon ar.d Rn
misery and woe, and speculation and pec
ulaiiou. Then pvt doirn the War, send
forward your peacemakers, "but take pre
caution to give every one a musket and
sabre. Remember "blessed are the
peacemakers." Such a peace we will
I soon win, and our children will not blush
to read itshistory. This is my policy,
and all its favors we ask cf the men who
recentlv assembled in convention here is
to write to their friends down South and
tell them to stop firing upen our flag, and
become good and loyal men.

reply of Sherman to Hood's charge of
''studied ingenious cruelty,"
"General : I havethe honor to ac

I proposed to facilitate the removal south
of the people of Atlanta, who prtfer to
