The topperheads are anxjous to accept a ‘peace tpon terns proposed by the. rebelsthey want to give the Confederate authorities ‘a blank sheet of paper” ‘that they may dictate the terms. ‘They care not whether those ternis involve the coun try in ruin or not. Peace is the object, ind and if it can be secured they care nothing about the terms, if the Administration ‘cxn “only be prevented from making ‘peace,— Their platform, their org:ns, und their speakers, Warrant'us in this opinion. They all.persist in forcing the rebels to accept an armistice and a ‘Convention, when they know well upon what conditions the rebels will agree to such an srtangemeot. ‘Our armies. must be withcrawn from the Sowth, that the rebels may collect stores and reou. ‘cupy. the territory we have driven them from, The blockade must be raised that Englaod and Franee may pour in arms, ame ‘ miapition, ships ot war and clothing. These are the muderate: demaiids made by the South, with the additional one that the Tight of secession must be acknowledged. — And the copperheads would accept this if ‘the: ‘power to make peace should be given them. Who doubts it with the record of that party for uearly four years before him! They would sow dragon's teeth and reap the fruit. in bloed and desolation after a few years of degrading peace. The Union party isa peace party too, but Ioyal men desire peace upon a basis of a reatoration of @fe Union and the eradicas tion, and extermination of everything that can by any possibility be made the excuse or ens the cause of another rebellion, it the rebel leadere, the army, or the “peculiar institution,” or all of them. But the ‘copperheads charge that the war is prosecus ted now for the abolition of slavery. Let us see. The war was commenced by tlie’ rebels, according to their own admisaivn, for the. establishment of a new government, ins dependent of the United States. To do this, our forts were seized, the flag fired upon, the cupital of the-nation threatened, and one halfofour ternitery occupied by an armed force. In all thase, each loyal man of the North had: as much interest as any single rebel., All these things were doue before a soldier was called out by the Administration. After these things were done the rebels were offered pardon if they would submit to the juet authority of the Government. they ao bitterly assailed. Did uot our Goveroment then do everything possible to secure peace before arms were taken in defense? Slaves were protected, and no nttempt was made to interfere with the “peculiar institution.” Up to January 1863; the Administration refused to strike the rebels through slavery. All thia time the institution had-been an arm of ‘etrength to the rebels, and when the Eman~“‘eipation Proclamation was issued, ample ‘time was given for the rebels to lay down ‘their arme and save slavery. Thie they refuged to.du, and by that refusal have deprived themselves of the rightever again to hold man in bondage. In August 1862, in answer to the urgent dewands made by some of the leading men of the North for the abolition of slavery, President Lincoln said: “My paramcunt object in this struggle ia to save the Unien, «id not to save or. destroy ‘slavery. If I could save the. Union without freeing any slaves, I would do it; and if I. cou'd save it by freeing all the alayes, I would do it. If by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do it What I do about slavery and the colored race I do because I believe it he!ps the Union; and. what Iferbear, I forbear because I believe it would nog help to saye. the Union. I shall do leas whenever I shall believe that whatI am doing hurts the cause, and shall du more Whenever I shallsbelieve doing more wilthelp. the cause. I sball try to correct errors wheh t are ahown to bé errors, and shall adopt new viewe so fuat, as they appear to be frueViews.””‘The veptament, abjest ef: thie otongpie: ao ‘orymember of it, to save the nation, its flag. . its Constitution, and its honor. ‘satisfied with nothing less. In the struggle justas the cumberous freight is sacrificed ‘that the ship may be saved from the raging of the storm. Jt was the shield and bucklar ef the rebels and wae! only struck down that the blows at treason might be more effective. Ite. doom wae sealed “because. it would save the country and turn away dans ger in the future. The whole evurse of the Administration warrants thie assertion.— When the President issued bis Niagara let« ter, he indicated no new policy ‘in ‘regard to the war. “All he seked of ‘the rebels bad been before claimed as 'tiecessary to peice by Cougress, the Nationa! Union Convention and the President himself. He simply took the quéstion av it was-furced upoh them by ‘the war. No man'‘drset of men can ‘control ques» trons when-the sword becdmes the arbiter of them. New-and momentous issues are ‘continually evolved, when-armed hosts con= front one another in civi strife. Such has ‘been the case in ‘this war. President Lin+ oln bas, with master hand, grasped each one as it has been presented. For every emergency he has been ready. Each issue will be disposed of by him, his ‘‘paramount wbject” being to ‘save the Union.” ‘Fhe slavery question Was forced upon him, and he emancipated the negroes becansé he “beleived it helped the Union.” The Union party is to-day the only true pexce party. The strungest advocates of peace are the armies under .Grant and. Sherman. The only place for men to stand who desire to secure the -peace, prosperity, and umty of the Nation, is on the side of the Adminiatration. EASTERN. News.—From the dispatches to the Union of yesterday we learn the:vicly was much more decisive and glorious than first-reported. Our troops behaved splendidly and after their charges the enemy fled’ panic stricken. Sheridan, Crook and Talbot distinguished themselves for their gallantry. The fight began on the 19th, and on the 20th Sheridan was crossing Cedar Creek, thirty miles south of the point where the fight began, showing the vigor with which the victory was fullowed up. The enemy's lose in killed and wounded is estima. ted at 3,000. The official report already shows that 5,000 were captured. It ie thought Sheridan will march to Lynchburg. A battle is anticipated at Petersburg — Grant continues to receive reinforcements. The: 19th passed without the anticipated at. tack from Lee. Military men predict the early capture of Richmond. —. It is predicted that the great line of telegraph between New York, via San Francis« co and St. Petersburg will be completed by 1866. An expedition for the survey:is being fitted out. The Tribune announces that Fremont wil! soon withdraw from the eanvas. His letter will seon be made public Wuv is Ir!—The Copperheads pretend to be in favorof the Umon. Why is it, then, says.the Bee, that their countenances inevys~ itably elongate and express sorrow when they hear of a victory of the Union arms? Why is it that they invariably express joy over 8 rebel victory and mourn over a rebel defeat? The avewer can be found by turning to the Democratic Press, the leading Copperhead organ in the State, which paper suys that“the rebels ure fighting for the cause of American liberty.” and says “God speed them in their” good “work!” “This is the reason why to-day there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth in the Copperheade ranks of thie Stute over the news that the army of the Union, under Sheridan, has completely routeg the rebels under Early. Fineman’s Srrike.—The steamship companies whose vessele ply between San Francisco and the Isthmus, reduced the wages of firemen trom $70 to $60 per month. The firemen formed an assuciation and struck for regular rates. On Weduesday 200 0f them went to the Mission street wharf and prevented any employees going tempted to preserve. ordér, handled. stream and the mob commenced patrolling the water front to prevent men going to sea in bats.

The only’ ican commerce has.nab North and South Pacific. iow long these will be exempt from the marauders, remains to be seon. Should the pirdtes Wake their appearance in those waters, the vessels at present composing the Paeific squadron, it ig safe to way, Would prove to be incapable of affording adequate protection to the. large fleets in vessels constantly trading in that diréction. Apart, from. the ships engaged: inthe’ guano. trade, an ithtmense fleet of whalers is to be found frequenting all parts.of. these two'oceans; three lites of American steamers ure rtinping constantly between San Francisco and Panama and ports in Central America,and many. other vessels bearing the Stars and Stripes are always found there. It tehooves the Navy Department: then, to reinforce the Paeific squadron sufficiently to ingure our commerce the protection to which it is fully entitled. Not longer ago than the first of July, official information was received from Guysquil of & Cunspiracy to seize one or more of the steamers for privateers—a party ~ having been sent from Secessiafor that purpose ; aiid, noless the Governmenttake more effect‘ive meéeastres for protecting tha shipping in ‘than direction there is ue telbng what. the consequence may be. That interest deserves much hetter’ treatment that 6 hae received, both as a matter vf policy and justice. To it the Government is largely indebted for the means of prosecuting the war ;.notwithstanding which fact, the Nevy Department through apparent indifferedee has permitted the destruction of property belonging to underwriters and individuals, tothe value of millio's of do lars. It is high ttme adifferent line of policy was adopted with regard to tue proie tion of its maritime commerce by the Uuited States Government.—S. F Argus. GENERAL Hooker.—The fullowing heartfelt tribute to this able commander and gallant soldier, says the Louisville (Ky.) Press, 1a taken. froma letter written by a noble young man of that city, an officer of the Twentieth Army Corps, as true a patriot as lives: It is impossible to express our love and high regard for General Hooker. There is nota soldier jin the corse who would not die in his. tracks sooner than the name of ‘*‘Hooker’s Corps” should be tdiagraced — Where the General is seen. the men are sure that nothing can go wrong. Their ‘fajth in him—is implicit. If he orderathem—to charge, nothing stops thet. Expose. the flanks, they do not falter, for they are cunfident that help is nigh. Never yet has be tuiled to aceowplish ail that wae asked of bis corps. I wish you could see him. Hes a. fine looking man. suit, and you would pick him out for a General. Sherman (great as he is) you would not select fora good Second Leiutenant.— Queer, isn’t it, how differently great minds are cased ? General Thomas you would think a well-to-do furmer, were he not in uniform. “Old Sufety,’ is his nickname. The men and officers have unbounded confidence in him. Indeed, this army has cause tu be very thankful for its commanders. MARKED ARTICLES.—Some of the marke: which are-fastened on the blankets, shirts, &c , sent to the Sanitary Commission for the soldi ts, shows the thoughts and feelings at home. Thus, on a home-spun blanket, worn, but washed as clean ss anow. was pimped n-piece of paper which said: *“Thie lanket was carried by Milly Albrich (who is ninety-three years old) down bill and up bill, one and 4 half miles, to be given-to some soldier.” On a bed quilt was pinned a card saying: 2 “My son isin the army. Whoever is made warm by this quilt, which I have worked on for six days and most oll of six vights, let him remember his own mother’s love.” On another blunket was thie: “This blanket was used by a soldier in the war of 1812—may it keep some soldier warm in this war against traiture,” On a pillow was written: “This pillow bebmged to my little boy, who died resting on it; it is a precious trensure to we, but I give it for the soldiers:” On a box of beauliful lint was this mark : “Made in a sich room, where the sunlight Las not enter: d. for nine years. but. where. Giod has eotered, and where two sens have bid their mother good bye, as they have gone out tu the war.” On a bundle containing bandages was written: ‘This is @poor gift, but. it ie all I had; I have given my huaband and my bey, and only wish I hud more-to give, but I haven't.” Ov some eye-shades were marked: “Made by.one who is blind. “Oh, how g to see the dear old flag that you are fighting under.” New York city is crowded with refagees from the rebel States. Gold speculators, blockade runners, released prisoners of war, relutives of rebel officers, and rebel evies have flocked to the city by thousands They ship all the goods they can South, send all the information they can to Jeff's army, speculate in gold, and encourage the demo3 cracy to persiet in throwiny every abstacle The steamer hauled inte the im the way of the Govériiment. The Tribune says they are the principal operators in the money market, and the rise im the price of gold is mainly due to » their exertions.

Not longer ago than the first of July, official information was received from Guysquil of & Cunspiracy to seize one or more of the steamers for privateers—a party ~ having been sent from Secessiafor that purpose ; aiid, noless the Governmenttake more effect‘ive meéeastres for protecting tha shipping in ‘than direction there is ue telbng what. the consequence may be. That interest deserves much hetter’ treatment that 6 hae received, both as a matter vf policy and justice. To it the Government is largely indebted for the means of prosecuting the war ;.notwithstanding which fact, the Nevy Department through apparent indifferedee has permitted the destruction of property belonging to underwriters and individuals, tothe value of millio's of do lars. It is high ttme adifferent line of policy was adopted with regard to tue proie tion of its maritime commerce by the Uuited States Government.—S. F Argus. GENERAL Hooker.—The fullowing heartfelt tribute to this able commander and gallant soldier, says the Louisville (Ky.) Press, 1a taken. froma letter written by a noble young man of that city, an officer of the Twentieth Army Corps, as true a patriot as lives: It is impossible to express our love and high regard for General Hooker. There is nota soldier jin the corse who would not die in his. tracks sooner than the name of ‘*‘Hooker’s Corps” should be tdiagraced — Where the General is seen. the men are sure that nothing can go wrong. Their ‘fajth in him—is implicit. If he orderathem—to charge, nothing stops thet. Expose. the flanks, they do not falter, for they are cunfident that help is nigh. Never yet has be tuiled to aceowplish ail that wae asked of bis corps. I wish you could see him. Hes a. fine looking man. suit, and you would pick him out for a General. Sherman (great as he is) you would not select fora good Second Leiutenant.— Queer, isn’t it, how differently great minds are cased ? General Thomas you would think a well-to-do furmer, were he not in uniform. “Old Sufety,’ is his nickname. The men and officers have unbounded confidence in him. Indeed, this army has cause tu be very thankful for its commanders. MARKED ARTICLES.—Some of the marke: which are-fastened on the blankets, shirts, &c , sent to the Sanitary Commission for the soldi ts, shows the thoughts and feelings at home. Thus, on a home-spun blanket, worn, but washed as clean ss anow. was pimped n-piece of paper which said: *“Thie lanket was carried by Milly Albrich (who is ninety-three years old) down bill and up bill, one and 4 half miles, to be given-to some soldier.” On a bed quilt was pinned a card saying: 2 “My son isin the army. Whoever is made warm by this quilt, which I have worked on for six days and most oll of six vights, let him remember his own mother’s love.” On another blunket was thie: “This blanket was used by a soldier in the war of 1812—may it keep some soldier warm in this war against traiture,” On a pillow was written: “This pillow bebmged to my little boy, who died resting on it; it is a precious trensure to we, but I give it for the soldiers:” On a box of beauliful lint was this mark : “Made in a sich room, where the sunlight Las not enter: d. for nine years.. but. where. Giod has eotered, and where two sens have bid their mother good bye, as they have gone out tu the war.” On a bundle containing bandages was written: ‘This is @poor gift, but. it ie all I had; I have given my huaband and my bey, and only wish I hud more-to give, but I haven't.” Ov some eye-shades were marked: “Made by.one who is blind. “Oh, how g to see the dear old flag that you are fighting under.” New York city is crowded with refagees from the rebel States. Gold speculators, blockade runners, released prisoners of
