But, alas! they have again been doomed to disappointment: they wyre.eoon advised of disaster (o Banks and Steele in the Southwest. Instead of Shertnuo marching straight into Atlanta in the South, there ia a protracted straggle, obstinate resistance, greak.loss, and doubtful results. Richmond is yet to the possession of the Confederate*, x after tWp months* desperate fighting, maattfrty flan^ ptprdmenU, and the loss of over an hundred thoutwnd.men, apd. while, we are assembled hereto-day, VVpslfingtoa ia agaip ia danger, and the Prdaidaht calling nnnn Saw V...li >n/4 Dt -1 .v.? *? ? ivuuhjitbuiii lur inc rnihli* of those Slates to mvo the Capita).

Not only this, but the people now wait in .hourly expectation to hear of a new call for three hundred thousand more men to be , drafted*.Ulid from which there is no escape _ by the payment of a commutation. The question now presents itself square* ly 'the people. Will you allow your* selves to be all butchered, and the entire potion to become a common wreck, to per* petuatq the power and gratify the insane and futile attempt of the man who now oc copies the place once filled by Washington to subjugate eight millions of people, whoee.ofTcQcs, whatever it may have been, was simply pull|ng into practical eoeralion tbe doctrine advocated and taught them by Mr. Lincoln himself, ppon the doo'r of Congress, in a speech which he deliveiod on the tilth of January J864! 8ee Congreaeional Globe and Appendix of that seaaion, page 64. where He ia reported aa follows: "Any people, fnywherp, being inclined and oaving the poyter, have a right to rise up and ahake oft the existing Government, and form a now one that suiU them better, * * Nor ia this right confined to casee in which the people of spy existing Governmeet may choose te exercise it.

Extracts from the Yankee Press. 'The Nhw York World says : "The recent disaster at Petersburg is having a most de proaaing effect upon the conntey. Indeed, no defeat of the whole war hus created so much dismay.?' A correspondent of the same paper puts do?'n,,the Yankee loss on the occasion si "over eight thousand men." From the same journal we copy the fol lowing: The Boston 1\aveUtr gives currency to some very extraordinary statements respec Ling the Army of the Potomac. It says thai ibe private aoldtora have given their othccrs quietly to enderstand that they must not expect theoi to. assault impregnu ble earthworks hereafter; thut the campaign so far han besn one of uselos* butchery, iu whioh no regard has been paid to the livm of the troops. Tiie same paper bints, an did the Tribune the other day, that, the reason (hat the colored aoldiar* were given the post of honor at Petersburg was be. cause the white troops were indisposed to make the assault. The Rochester Democrat, another Republican journal,states there is a great deal of dissatisfactlou in the army, and that an unusual numlwrnf ruinnnllniw nt has bean tendered, among whom are five Generate. The Uoaton /IJvtrliter also alludea to rumors il tins heard to the anme effect. All Ihia ia calculated to add to the despondency of the country ; but we sincerely hope mat tera are not so bad as they arc represented to be. The editor of the Albany Evening Jour nal, writ log froth Washington, presents his readers wltff several theories ot peace that aie mooted in that Capitol. One into res-* tore,the old Union aa it was ; the other to regard the slaves already treed ~ae free, and to pay for the emancipation of lite remainder. Thu Ultrd , plso explained in the editor's own Words: >-4 ik- ? - ?? ' ? - <? iuhu |?iu k? imugnite ilia oomnern Confederacy, with such boundaries i> iia founders control hI thai moment of peace, with the angulation that, slavery abail be 1 abolished in the new Confederacy? the , Uoiied States government paying, say, four hundred milliona an a bonus tor the abolition of ala?ery. Absurd ae ihia leat propo-ition may aeetu, it haa advoeatea io the Union ranka, as I am informed, who 1 ataod prominent among the leaders of the Union party." * \ If the editor had explained that the < greater part of the foer hundred millions .would come out of the pockets of the 1 Southern people, to pay themselves for the < emancipation of their own negroes, the da lettable tcheuie would appear in its tree light. The Albany Argut dialikea there plana, and proposed iortead Mr. Caihenu'e plan of a dual l&ieeutive: 4'0%a Confederacy, fueh aa preceded oar present Union, would And aOveostea. A Veto power gitan to a combination of Mtntee bae been aoggeaed. A eonfederaey of confederacies is Regarded hy many ee the jillluiattf and desirable fuyal nf our government. A double House of Repreeoatutivee, a single Senate and on* Pre-ident, aa noe, would be belter than any dual executive. ? No law could pass and none could be repealed without assent of both buaooe. with the concurrence of the Senate ae gnar, tbe veUr power remaining unchanged lit aeminations to office within the 8u>leu, tbe eon eurrence of epa at laaat of the Senators, ee Well ae of (be majority of the Annate, might be required. The Preaidnotiel term might oe expended to six /ear* : tjie iacnmbeot oot to be re-aieciira. The p??itoa lists might be amumud by the State* la which the soldiers live. The oatioesi delpt might be guaranteed by the pledge of the internal taxes. To the Mouther* Stales, the right to lay export doiiee might he allowed for a term of years. The tart# might he timed for a lerni of year* at?percent. The army might be demai.ded, and States re quire'd to maintain and discipline a body of troops, io proportion to ihptr repressed lioua in Congress. If, by sash a woditteatioo as this, we coold secure aalieaal unity, sad, at the same time, guarantee Slate rights, would it oot be better then any , schema of separation."
