". .. Well Tiired. The following extract.from a speech of the Hon. John Law, of Indiana, jn the Federal - House of Representatives on fhe 1st nit., was severt robuko to his abolition associates: Sin It is said by way of sneering at the -loyalty of the Democratic party, by those who never pnt foot on the tended.field," and never mean to, as long as they can cheat tbe.goverfiracnt out of money enough to procuro a sub"stitute, that the Democratic party is the "peace party" of the country. While they "will spend the last dollar, tacrifice the last man and dio in the last ditch," to pnt down the "accursed rebellion." They are for "war," war to the koife, and the knife to the hilt. - When Cato called his^ftlo senate together at Utica?at a time when Cesar was marching upon the city?the fiery Sempronious proclaimed iu furious and indignant. O such as we frequently hear in this hall. J My voice is'still for war > Gods! cau a Roman Senate long debate Which of the two to chose?slavery or death ? No! Let us rise at once, gird on our swords, ! And at the head of our remaining troops, Attack the foe, broak through-the thick array 1 I Of his thronged legions, and charge home upon him ; Perhaps 6ome arm more potent ^han the rest, May Btriko his heart, and free th'o world from bondage." i The conservative. Lucius replied: "My! thoughts, I must confess, are turned to peace." | The advice and counsel of Lucius was the special object of tho warrior's indignation. The loyal Smupronions, who scorned to submit to meditation, and could not brook the idea of meditation, whispered into Cato's ear, "beware of Lucius; bejis a traitor." The very next night Sempronlous deserted Cato and joined Coesar. While Lucius, the advocate of peace, remained and bravely fought-for the liberties of Rome.? There is a moral in this to which I would call the attention of every blatant radical of the Republican party who is crying out for move blood and denouncing the Democrats. Instead of being the enemies of the Govern-' mcnt, as they are charged, they are its truest and beat friends. The worst and tnoat violent enemies of the Government are those who blindly and wilfully thrown up their caps and orv, ?T.rtn?. l;?f?

The RkbAl Ideas of Peace.?The opposition press insist that the rebols are willing to treat for peace, and denounce the President for repelling their attompts to do so. The rehel press are evidently doiDg what little they can to strengthen their Northern allies in urging this pretence. The Daily News, which is the organ of the Peace Democracy in this State, quotes an article from the Richmond Sentinel, Svhich it designates the "organ of Mr. Davis," hnd, therefore, a representative of the "sentiment and policy of the Confederate Administration," to prove that the South is quite willing to negotiate, and that, too, on terms which the Government and people of theUnitod States ought tp consider satisfactory.?New York Times. -?.??

FRIDAY mofillllie, AUG. 20. Ladies who have work, of drawers and socks, belonging to the Ladie'a Aid Association, are requested to send them to their Hall oh Thursday next, by *11 o'clock a. m. . It seems to be generally understood that General Bucknbr is to take the place of Qen. Tayi.qr in East Louisiana, and a movement towards Missouri is also reported to be in preparation. Gek.

It is said that the Tallahassee, our new war steamer, has a speed of twenty-one miles an hour, the fastest, we believe on record.

His prosonce fills a gap that has long bfeeh open to our adventurous cruisers, and there is no man who will more boldly or energetically avail himselt'of tht opportunity which has at last offered. The case of R. E. Ogdcn, Manager of tlie r Richmond Theatre, vs.. the Confederate. States, has been before Judge Halyhurton, and has beet) - decided adversely to tho pj am tiff. With the' facts of this case your readers are doubtless familiar. Ogden, who claimed to ho a British subject, was conscribe.il and sent to .Camp Leo. Taken thence by a writ of huh fan corpus, he carried his cause before Judge Ualburtmi, who, after a patient hearing of the case, decided that Ogden is a "domiciled foreigner," and, as such, liable to military duty in the field. Mr. Lyons, Mr. Ogden's council, here introduces, as covering his client's case, a treaty, of long standing, between Groat Britian and the United States, which guarantees that all British Rubjoets residing within the limits of the then United Stales should be free to leave the country at their op tion. and should- nn Innrr oo -a.4~ -- ? - ?~\ ? y MO VIIUV t>llU' I U? main within said limits, enjoy all benefits and immunities arjsing from said subjcctship.? Whilst I am not advised of the special reasoning by which the learned Judge arrived at his final deojsion, I.am aware that he sustained his original position, and remanded Ogdcn back to the control of Major- Peyton, Commander of the Conscripts at Camp Lee. Ogden was not claimed as a citizen of the Confederate States, and his only liability to military service was based upon his being a "domiciled foreigner."?Richmond. Correspondence Augusta..
