In truth neither the men arc forthcoming, to be bought, nor the money to pay for them. Lincoln may call for .three hundred thousand more men; but it is generally understood at Ihe.-iS'orth that this threat of a draft is only to stim? ulate volunteering in prdev to get the bounties;-"and that-the government dares' not put the draft in actual operation. As forihc Yankee finances, they lfavo evi? dently been kept afloat for some months, ?not only by skilfully throwing gold upon the market from-timc to time, but $till more by keeping up the" conti nun I expec? tation tl at the Sou?h is on the very point of breaking down. -Last spring, when the year's campaign began, and. it was found that there actually were Confeder? ate armjes in the field able to hold their ground, the price .of gold in "Wall street sprang sudilenly up to two hundred for one hundred. It now stands at two hutk dred and eixtceji; but next spring, if the enemy finds as still keeping the field?if the "oftlcial" tourists who are sent hero to whisper mysterious hopes of peace, have failed in dividing our counsels and demoralizing oiir arm}-?then will Wall street witness another and wilder flight of the precious metal; and amongst the holders of Federal securities there will be sauve qui peut. That this catastrophe must come sooner or later, i> certain:? that the enemy believes it to be coming soon, is evident to us from the very pres? ence of'the unofiicial- negotiators. .The true reason for refusing to receive these, people, or to Jet. them come wifhin our , Jigtt||ijyAg?^tL^L mys><eri<Hi's flitting tQj 1 Timm mBaJUmfvrnSS^^TC-a^m^mK'f^ ?.m mill L.LI** zons and soldiers from the only rational duly of the time?War; and also keep's up the hopes of' our enemies, and keeps down the price of gold in "Wall street, by the belief that we arc arter all going to ?submit. To submit unconditionally: to deliver ourselves up to the mercy and discretion cf Lincoln as beaten rebels.:?for this, wo repeat, is tho only proposal they have to make. It matters not that an eld gentle? man, of the name of Blair, a garrulous old busybody, fresh from Washington lobbies, ma}' hint and whisper, (laying his fingers on his nose.) as to his own private impressions of tho treatment wo might possibly expect if wo lay down our arms. We cannot bo expected to trust to the private*impressions of that individual; Xu thcfacc, in the teeth, of all uniform de? clarations of tho enemy's-govcrnmcni, the Proclamations and Messages of their Pre? sident, and acts of their Congress, to the effect that there can bo no peace unless we begin b}* surrendering at discretion. The "New York Times, tliA^fficial organ1 of Seward. nays reasonably: " Our great objection to volunteer and irresponsible negotiations of any sort is, that they inspire doubts in tho rebel mind of the sineeiTiy and determination 'of our Government in regard to the rebel? lion. "We have always demanded an \ unconditional surrender' as the sole con? dition of peace. Tho President has uni formry insisted that the!"rebels must cease .fighting if thoy wish peace." The li great objection" of the Times is ?also our great objection. It is well for our people to understand and lay tovhcart the fact that the cnenvy.still demands an absolute surrender of ourselves, and our children, and our property to tho mercy of Yankees: and this when we have three gallant armies hi the field*: when a vast section of our country, west" of the Missis? sippi, is entirely clear of invaders; when tlio land is still abounding both in--provi? sions and.arms, and in men to use them; needing only fresh vigour infused into ? our Administration," and a strong and steady hand upon the wheel, to make this years campaign more disastrous to tli^invader than the lust. . It seems almost incredible that, in' the present situation ofaffairs, the" enemy's Government should have the presumption to expect "unconditional surrender."? But.such is the fiict. This is tho- sole condition." If any man, Confederate or Yankcc^MH^onds that^th.ere are any oth? er po^jSHPnditions, he is air impostor, and htt^TOd designs. .-? ?-'??o???: .

Simply because he knows "that if the Confederacy holds out for an? other campaign her triumph is assured and. her independence won. Because he knows that his available physical resources are absolutely exhausted; that neither the cheap enthusiasm of the populace over magnified victories and inconsequential successes, nor tho frantic appeals of all the newspapers in the land, nor tho subtle persuasions of Scward and, the other priests and prophets of Black Republican? ism, nor his own supcrnumerous calls and proclamations, can aid him anything in getting together another army even half as groat as that which ho launched upon ;the South in the first days of may last..

If is understood that Mr. Blairs mission to Esmond was emphat? ically one qf peace. After laying before our authorities, informally of course, the wishes' of the Federal Government, the interpretation of which is peace on a sub? jugation basis, and finding' that . thfcse modest desires were not likely .to be complied with, he came down pointedly to the proposition of re-union upon any terms,'and desired to know upon what terms tho South would agree to return to tho sheltering n?r-;is of tho old flag. Ho suggested, the "Union as it was," the " nigger aa lie is," and the South as it used to be. He suggested also, that the North would foot the bill, and payior all the negroes stolen and jpr?pojfty destroyed hy-.thc armies and^ot?*f^ri?;^.Qf,^J;'" 'ffifls: era I Usurpation" Uf co'mtS 'ie~made all of these suggestions on hp own respond-, bility; but whether deemed mthoriiativo or not, he received not the slightest en? couragement to hope for re-union, and was made to understand that the South was.figbting for independence, and inde? pendence only, He then inquired wheth? er, if the independence of the South were recognized by tho Federal Government, the South "would make common cause with tho North and drive tho French from Mexico?' Tho response understood to have been given to this diplomatic feel? er, was, "Mako tho proposition formally and officially, and 3-011 will get a reply." This Is tho substance of Mr. Blair's politi? cal conversations with persons in and put of authority Vghilc in Eichmond, so far as we have bcen^able'to learn.

The re? cent cold spell-has stepped the river nav? igation, and unbroken roticenco Is main? tained at the Executive Department rela? tive to Blair's mission and their commis? sioners, who left Eichmond yesterday for "Washington^ via Petersburg and City Point. The Sentinel s;iys thecirmstanccs under which these gentlemen ho ve depart? ed on their mission are understood to be as follows: Mr. Blair bavin"- sought unof ficially a confidential interview with Pres? ident Davis, departed far Washington with tho assurance that our President would be willing, at any time, to send agents or commissioners to "Washington to confer about terms of peace, if inform? ed in., advance that said comihissioncrs would be received. .On Blair's second vis: it to Eichmond, he brought the consent of Lincoln to receive, and confer with any agent informally sent, with a view to the .restoration of peace. These gentlemen who left yesterday were thereupon selec? ted by tho Fresi'dentj'.andhavegono with? out formal credentials, merely asinformal agents, to see whether it is possible to ar? range for peace on any basis which may serve for attaining such desirable results. Tho rumor current last night, that the French Minister in Washington demands his passports, is not -generally credited.

There was a strange' spectacle at tho depot recently: says the Cleveland Lead? er?a man of whom-accounts were pub? lished,, years ago. in newspapers in this country and in medical journals in Erg land, who has been in a state of almost Complete ossification for thirty years. Hrs namo is Talonfine Perkins; he warn born fifty-two years since'in Henrietta, Monroo county, Zscw York, but has been a resident, for the last twelve years, of Mantau, Portage county, Ohio. At the age of eleven years he was thrown front f a horse and his knee was injured by the fall.

Of course he has to be fed?the food being placed witli in his lips and then left under the. guid? ance of mother Kature, who mysteriously insures its safe conduct into tho stomach. ?He lies on his side upon a low bed -or couch;.winch serves also as a litter, with his feet drawn up somewhat, and his right hand caught up near his shoulder; lies ihus all day long, shifting his position but once during twenty-four hours, when he is turned over on the other side. "While * ho is thus -completely ossified?a human block of limestone, as it were?his skin retains its normal character and condition, and discharges its functions perfectly? being, perhaps, moro sensitive, however, to the touch otyany object; as that of a fly, or a hair, than is usually the. case.

Trade is destroyed. But few signs of prosperity arc to be seen in many portions of the State. The inland .towns are no longer full of the bustle of business. Stores are closed, and an air of desolation reigns on "every side. Men are forced.to flee for their lives, and whole families are aban? doning pleasant homes and' moving to other States.
