We are ett familiar enough with that
eolenan inquiry long ago propounded?
what i? truth I But no one, I believe,
haa been either witty enough, or wire
enough, eetiafactorily to anawer the
question. I ah all propound to the New
York Tiinea a question, ahd will bvlp
the able editor, to a solution of At leait
one portion of the truth.
41 What la peace!" The Tiinea with
the forecast, the precision, and the distinctness
of the LMphio end all other
oracles known or read of, tells us," peace

These words ere not given es quotation*

*d milk" of its daily exposition*. 1
* like precision, hut I like distinctness

at at as. Will the Timea be kind enough
to be a little elaborate, a little clear, ouIt
for the enlightenment of the cloudeil
intelligence of some of us obfuscated
people at the South, arbo can't see
through millstones!
We are told that reconstruction un
der negro rule ie "peace." "Peace"
in whet respect t tf the Times mesns
that it will mote firmly establish
44 peace" between the people of the late
Confederate Slates, and the Government
of the United States, then I say it is in
radical error, and misconception or the
fact. For this sort of44 reconstruction *
hut adds gall to bitterness: and in the
tnind o f every white man in the South,
will *Mo;ime ihe Government of the
United State* itself. with every huinilSat
ion, biuiality end outrage of negro
domination. Whet eort of "peace"

that ere gotbg to stand np dumb end
passive, like, yoked okeh, to be driven

legislated out of tbeir property by ignorant
savages t to submit to all arined
negro militia f to negro public officers,
and jurors, and judges, and all the name
less horrors of monjrreliaalion and mis
cegsnation f Tbe Times lias surely followed
the example of jhe illustrious Hip
Van Winkle; and in tlieae Utter days,
baa fallen asleep, and baa dean ftigotten
all the events of that slight period
of time between the years 1860 and
1805
I ask again, what does the Times
mean by ** peace 1" Does it mean a
standing army throughout the ten
8outbern States for tbe next fifty years
or morr, 10 enrorce negro dominaUon T
And when it rays, " Grant ia peaeei"
doea it mean that baiii very fit tool
or tyrant to Arry out that aort of

butcherly work; and it will want a first

I have chosen to reply thus in gene
rid to the position assumed by the
Times, and others here. The Times be*
ing a very warm Democrat, takes great interest
in the success of the party?
eery/ Yesterday it did me the honor
io it* leader to quote from the letter I
sent you a few day* since a paragraph '
on the Democratic Platform. In doing '
So, It took Occasion, in a.paternal way,
10 make my remarks the ha?i* of a lov- 1
ing lecture <o myself and the Democrat '
ic party of the Soutn, and the Demo- 1
cratic party of the North. Tba imag
inalion of the Times discovers dragon's '
teeth in that letter, sown like wild oats
over all the land. Its apples of discord '
are as large a* pumpkins, and as plen- 4
lifut as blackberries. May not the wish 4
with the Times be father to the thought ; 4
or is it only a family anxiety f 4
The Times refers o the convention t
of 1800. We beg the Tims*, and all <
others, not to forget the facts of the I
convention of 1860. I will at the same 1
lime commend to the Timet tho old fa ?
ble of tha wolf and the lamb, and the
stream of water?nothing is new under ,
the ?un. Tiie Time* in its democratic \
solicitude, points with sn awful shake ;
of the head to the fiightful folly of the (
South in that criminal convention, and
with the hand of a ghost motions to us .

the bone of contention in the midst, it '
promise* a jolly row to the bystanders ; J
and then endeavors to urge and to irii
tate by terms, all whom it can get to 1
follow its suggestion*. It wants anoth '
er Douglas aplit, and kindly suggests it. 1
Had the Democratic party of the !
North in 1800 stood firm upon the '
long avowred principles of the party, by ?
vindieatihg the constitution it would I
have elected its candidate, and would I
have saved the trouble of five years I
feverfe fighting?and some money.?
The party lias never deviated from its
piinciple*, but it lias failed. 1 he Times
wants it ib fail, and urgfc* it to abandon
tba very lait firm plank it has to stand
on. Let the party cut, itself loose from
** the rights of tht State*" and the

AsoTttan Attempt At isrsicssiRi.?
Tbsd. Stevens, not yet satisfied with tb* result
of two efforts at impeachment, has prepared
four other articles, which be will present
t<> tbe IImuss at as early a day as he can obtain
tbe floor. These articles charge tbe President,
first, With a high misdemeanor in violating
the Constitution by tbe establishment
of provisional governments in tbe Southern
States, without the advice and consent of Congress.
Second, for abuse of the pardoning
power in pardoning rebels and deserters from
the Union army, and other criminals, for tbo
special purpose of securing their vote* and
support in his acbotucs. Third, for corrupt
use of bis pitronage to obstruct the laws of
Congress in the reconstruction of the Southern
Slates; and fourth, a corrupt use of his patronago
to influence tbe eluctions that hnvo occurred
within the past three year*. . '
Mr. Stevens has prepared these articles with
great clue, and without consultation with any
of the lhaniigers. He will support the articles
In a carefully prepared speech, and will than
ask for a Special Committee, lie says ite way
not do anything more than introduce tbe articles
this session, but take a vote upon Ibciu
next session ; nor la he anxious al out cqnViotion,
hot says he wants to get the facts beforA
the country and put the President on the record
in as bad light as possible. TTo professes

Dn. Praxk Hamilton publishes In the Mvdioal
Oaxctto a strong protest ngainst debarring
from all public office such nodical praotilionera
as served as surgeons, or lb any other
professional capacity, in the Confederate army,
lie calls on Congress to modify the iron-clad
oath of July, 1802, so far as it applies to tlrera.
During (be war surgeons were considered literally
as noncom* slants, and it was established
by cartel that whefa acting nndcr the authority
of the rehel Government, and holding
commissions, they wero not to be recngnited
as combatants, or in any sense as offenders,
any more than private citizens acting in the
same rapacity. If captured, they were not to
be lieb] as prisoners, but, without waiting for
exchange, they were to be returned as apeedi1y
as possible. Under tbPfte and other circumstance!,
it is unjust to punish or disqualify
them now. Dr. Hamilton says that a large
number of o*'ir most distinguished and valuable
medical brethren at the Fouth are still
waiting for their pardons, for baring nerved
under the Confederate Government as physicians
ahd surgeons; and some have suffered
confiscation of their property, for no other offence
than this, so far as we can ascertain. It
must be understood, however, ton! a " pardon"
does not relieve the offender from the requirements
of the "test oath." Wo arc rure Congress
might very well modify the act in its application
to these gcntlcrotfn.

" The fallen heroes of the fvar! Noble, men !
The story of their martyrdom adds fresh lustre
to a motto too often sneered at, ' DuUt el
decorwin eel tibo patria wort /' "
General Ecbole said bo would call on to re
spond to that toast the man wbotn our fallen
heroes would ball on (i (hey could speak?
General Wade Hampton. ,
Gener&l Hampton said that be was proud to
think that our fallen braves would oe willing
to accept votive offerings front hitn. Alluding
most touehingly'to our martyred dead, he said
that our grief should be tempered as we .remember
that they fell when they thought they
would not tap in vain?that they fell in the
bright hope that success would crown ohr efforts.
But bo did not believe they bad fallen
in viifb?the cause for which Jackson and Stusirt
ffll cannot l>e in vain, but in luma form
would yet triumph. He proposed the *' Lost
Cause," for whieh our heroes fell. Tbta waa
drunk silently and eolttfinly by all.
