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,

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. Hood ba3 ordered every man absent frota his
?rmy to return immediately, and promises to use his
tnfloence to procure forgiveness for those absent without
leave who return voluntarily.
Captaik Semites.?The Cork Herald says: "Wo
Understand that the gallant commander of the Alabama
arrived at QueenBtown yesterday, in the block

be will take ship to the Southern Confederacy.
The Ladle's 4.id Association sent off this (Friday)
morning, a tierce of fine vegetables to the defenders
of Fort Sumter.
Tbey propose sending vegetables on Thursday next,
to the Chicora?^please send donations by 6 o'clock a.

. Grant, after finishing the reading of the despatch
announcing HoPhrbson's death, retired to bis teht,
weeping like a child, and with tears streaming down
his checks, declared that the country bad lost its
ablest soldier and be his best friend. McPherson
was certainly an able man,
Semites1 New Shir.?It is said, on what we consider
good authorty, that the Electric Spark, which was
captured recently by the.Confederate cruiser Florida,
will be put under command of Captain Semmer until
he ban get a better vessel. She was a packet steamer
between Now York and New Orleans, and is said to
be of the first quality in speed.
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. The work of its gallant
commander, Wood, on the coast has already ptartlod
the whole Yankee nation, and we may expect to hear,

board ovor the destruction that ho will continuo to
inflict. 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

A Fresh Rsfort of Quahtrell'b Death.?
A St. Ijouis dispatch says:
Gen. E. B. Btoypn, commander of the. Central
District of Missouri, is in town. He says
there is no doubt of Quantrcll's death. He has
tho evidence of many rebels in different parts
of tho country to that effect) and sonic cypher
Icttors addressed to Qnantrell, taken from the
body of a .rebel who was supposed to be Quantrell;
but subsequent investigation satisfied tho
General that Qnantrell had really been killed.

| Peace Commission from ^he West.?It is
i stated in some of our exchanges that p commission
froru tbe States of Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
is now in Richmond, in consultation with
the Government on the subject of a free.
navigation of the Mississippi in case of tho
formation of a North-western Confederacy.?
If such a commission is in Rjchinond, it is
kept as silent as in the visit of the Yankeesv
Jacques and Kirltc, for neither^ho press nor
the people arc aware of it* presence. Swph an
event, however, would not be surprising, lsinco
we are well aware of the disaffection in tho
West towards a war which is impoverishing,
that section, while it is filling the pockets of
the shrewd operator* of New England.?
