Peace or M'ai Which Will vc From the Fiankiin (N, Y.) Gazette. There arc those, we arc painfully aware, in the form of men, anil who wear the garb of Christians, who, after reading of battles in which thousands were slain, and other thousands left maimed and wounded on the field; of monster hospitals, in which thousands upon thousands arc suffering from disease, dying by scores and hundreds, and who sec the sad, sickening effects of war all about them, can stund up even in the presence of sorrowing, almost heart-broken fathers and mothers, widows and orphans, brothers and sisters, and in unfeeling wcrls which could only come from a heart of stone, say that all the waste of life and suffering which this cruel war has produced is but a cheap sacrifice to make for the emancipation of the bondmen of the South ! This is Puritanic fanaticism, boiled down into ultra Abolitionism, than which there is no lower or viler consistence to which it can be reduced. lint this war is a serious business to men whose sons have gono down in the shock of battle or fallcu victims to fatigue and expo, sure in on unnatural climtte; it is an inexpressibly s!id business to those whose friends conic home to them maimed and crippled for life, or pine in hospitals or Southern prisons. To them the waste i irreparldc, and it is poor consolation to them, as they think of the dead or look upon the poor sufferers who yet live, that a few thousand comparatively happy negroes have, by means of the war, been transformed into miserable outcasts and starving; paupers. It will dry up few tears, alleviate few pangs, to tell the father and mother who are mourning the loss of a dear son. that his life was a cheap sacrifice for them in the glorious cause of negro emancipation. In view of all that has happened during the past three years, and is likely to happen in years to come if the war is not stopped, which will the people choose, peace or war' Considerations so pertinent to this question, accompanied with an appeal so tint'-ly and rppropriatc, arc contained in an article in :t Bridgeport (Ct.) Farmer, that v. o copy them below: It seems, to the looker on, hut yesterday that a thousand men marched from among us, with waving banners, burnished weapons, gay Uniforms, drum bcatinj, and jubilant step, and to-day a hundred, may be throe hundred men, come bak t' n-s. bro-

On Saturday afternoon last the Ninth New Yuri; returned home, after three years' service, bringing back 78 men and ID officers only, t lie remains of as fine a regiment as has left New York city since the war began. Here ;s still another in stance. The I'ennsyhania Unserves went i into the field l.").OOij stroti-, in 1SG1: they return home 1ÖU0 in 1 SO 4 ! Wc read, too, of regiment.-? corning out of action with but a few score of men and two or three officers, as was the case with the Ninth New Yurk the other day. The Detroit Free Press, in its last issue, speaks of the condition of the Third and Fifth regiments of Michigan infantry. The 1 itth a few das ago had tiyht inni ami twit ( facts left, while the Third had been equally as badly cut un! The two reiriments were consolidated in une, and both together now number leas than tiro constitutes These arc not iusolated and peculiar cases, as all know. Our old State regiments arc but skeleton regiments. How long can such a state of things continue? Urant is losing men by thousands, every day, and it is pretty plainly intimated that, there must be a draft in Julv, now but a few weeks distant, and the States must again send forth their thousands to disappear, us others have gone down befoie, in the red tide of battle. Ths time is fast approaching when the people can demand, by the election of President, a change- in affairs. Iftlwy desire to pcrpetuat? this condition of things, they have only to re-elect the ignorant boor who the other day received tho news of his rciiomination with a silly jest, and thin, too, while our Litchfield county boys, and thousands of American freeman, were suffciing, dying in Virginia. If, Democrats, you wish for Peaco, for a cessation of carnage, for the end of this hellish slaughter, let your delegates speak for you at Chicago, in the sclcctiou of a Presidential candidate whose hands have no mark upon them of the "damned spot," that cannot be effaced. The alternative is Peace or endless War; the preservation of a remnant of life,, property, and liberty, or the sacrifice ofall.nnd utter, irretrievable ruin. The Peace sentiment is strong er to-day than ever before; the men who rulo at "Washington know this, they will I not triflo nor tamper with it again until

Abraham Lincoln is certain of occupying the White House ibr another term of four

year?, which God, in his infinite mercy ana love, loruju: i r i i t The people must awake at once, and let their voices be heard in neighborhoods, in town:, cities, counties, btatcs, for blessed Peace. Wc have heard ucli ol a "vigorous prosecution of war; i . i , nearu, irom ncnccionn, ot a "vigorous prosecution of Peace." The people yet hold power and sovereignty we arc not so sure that they will do so a year from now. Despotism, military tyranny is plotting working with an indomitable energy and stubborn perseverance. Its agents have office, place, power at stake, but the people have all that makes life sweet or worth retaining. Shall it be, for lour years longer. Peace or War ? A Desperate Hope. Conscious of having to bear the incubus in the next political canvass, of the most dc-crvedly unpopular man in the United States, tho Shoddy party is hugging to itself the delusive hope that the Democratic pary will be divided at Chicago. This is the straw to which the drowning faction of anarchy is convulsively clinging. It i : ratii'ving to observe that, conscious of guilt, the revolutionary party has no hope save in the dream of a schism in our ranks. That dream may as well be brjkc:i. We have no idea of quarrelling with each other at Chicago. Good nun and true will assemble in that great AVestcrn city to aid and sustain each other in one grand rally for the preservation of the Union, and the perpetuation of liberal institutions in our country. We shall assemble in a spirit of mutual conciliation and forbearance. There will be no hampered discussion and no packing of committees. The convention at Chicago will not bo made up i f parasites, the human barnacles which cling to place and power; greedy contractors. Jesuitical journalists, and men with promises of fat offices in their pockets. It w is fitting that such a convention should be held in the theater of "Vienna" Sehenek's crusade against women and newspapers; it was fitting that such a convention should nominate the man who, upon the eye of the bloodiest conflict of all time, should utter the coarse sneer ''Nobody hurt.''

There are bo i.iany vital interesst at stake for us to fail in compact organization. The defeat of the Republican faction involves the security of every right endeared to patriots. It involves a restored Union, a sound currency, a free press, untrammel led courts, an honest ballot, and social in dependence. It involves besides, the res pect of the world which has been lost to us by the contemptible and dastardly policy of the Washington clique (we cannot call them statesmen), and it involves also hope for the future of our country, which has well nigh perished beneath the cx?cssc.s of bad men to which we have so long and so patiently submitted. With such interests bringing upon our political success, we shall eoinc together in solid column, with one battle cry, "Down with Lincoln's Administration." nd when that vast column sweeps over the field in November, the Shoddies with their camp followers, treasury leeches, placemen and trumpeters, their Canierons and Forneys, will go down before our ser ried ranks like shreds ot canvass in a Uiscay gale. CfevJinul Plain Dealer. Vole Tor Lincoln, If I Die Tor It!" Was the expression we heard a young man make the other day. It was, undoubt edly, thoughtlessly uttered, but there is n fl . T matter tor serious reueeii.n in it. now many thousand of young men, who voted for Lincoln in 1 S( , have died on the field of battle and in the hospitals, in consequence of giving that vote, with an equal number who ilitl nt vote for Lincoln. Voting for Lincoln has cost this country the lives of millions of men, the flower of the country, and brought the nation to the verge of bankruptcy, and the dissolution ot the Union. And voting for and reelecting Lincoln hut indefinitely prolongs the struggle, as long as there can be a man or a doliar raised to prosecute the war; and irakc the restoration of the Union impossible. But those who vote for Lincoln arc not always very willing "to die for it," and are generally more profuse in words than deeds. "I'll vote for Lincoln, if I die for it," is very easily said, but how few of them aro willing to be in at the death, the operations of the draft shows, wheu near ly all swear out, pay out or run away.

jvaij ciuv., ub juc vi niv; j. una' delphia theaters, a pageant was in rehearsal in which it was necessary to have an elephant. No elephant was to be had. The "wild beasts" were all traveling, and the property man. stage director and manager almost had fits when they thought of it. Days passed in a hopeless task of trying to secure one; but at last Yankee ingenuity triumphed, as indeed it always does, and an elephant was made to order, of wood, skins, paints and varnish. Thus far the matter was all very well; but as yet they found no means to make said combination travel. Here acrain the genius of manager, stage director and property men stuck out, and two "broths" were duly installed as legs. Ned C , one of the true and genuine "b'hovs," held the statmn of fore legs, and for several nights he played the heavy part to the entire satisfaction of the m tnager.s and the delight of the audience. The pnrt, however, was a very tedious one, as the elephant was obliged to be on the staire about an hour, and cd was rather too fond of the bottle to remain so long without "whetting his whistle," so he set his wits to work to find a way to carry a wee drop with him. The eyes of the elephant being n.ade of tw porter battle.?, with the necks in, Ned conceived the brilliant idea of filling them with good stuff. This he fully carried out, and, elated with success, he willingly understood to play forelegs again. Night came on the theatre was densely crowded with the citizens of the Quaker City the music was played in the sweetest strains the curtain rose and the play began. Ned and '-hind legs" marched upon the stage. The elephant was greeted with round upon round of applause. The decorations and the trappings were gorgeous. The elephant and the prince seated upon his back were loudly cheered. The play proceeded; the elephant was marched round and round the stage. The forelegs treated the hind legs, and then drank the health of the audience in a bumper of genuine elephant eye whisky, a brand, by the way, till then unknown. On went the play and on went the drinking, i The conclusion march was to be nude the signal was given, and the forelegs staggered toward the front part of the stage. The conductor pulled tho cars of the elephant to the right the fore legs staggered to thu left. Tha foot lights obstructed the wav, aid he raised his foot and stepped plump into the orchestra ! Down went the fore legs on the leader's fiddle; over, of course, turned t ue elephant, cnding the prince and hind legs into the middle of the pit The managers stood horror struck: the prince and hind legs lay confounded, the boxes in convulsions, the actors choking with laughter, and poor Ned, casting one look, a strange blending of drunkenness, grief and laughter at the I scene, fled hastily out of the door, elo-eh ! followed by the leader, with the wreck of his j fiddle, performing ar:ous cut and thrust inotijns in the n:r. The curtain dropped on a scene bchiud the scenes. No more pageant no more fore legs but everybody held thier sides. Music, actors, pit, boxes and gallery rushed from tho theater; shrieking between every breath, "Have you seeu the elephant V Miner's Journal. A .Soldier's Opinion. The Fort Wayne Times Jays, when the loth Indiana Regiment returned home from the war, it had a public reception at Indianapolis, at which Gov. Morton and some federal officers made pa'rtizan speeches. A soldier conments upon the speeches, in a letter in the Indianapolis S-ntiivf, as follows. The letter is addressed to "Gov. Morton', Gen. Carrington, Col. Raker, and Capt. Farquhar:" "Your speeches at the reception of the loth Indiana regiment will be long remembered. Your partizan appeals ought to damn you all. You are wanting in every attribute of a soldier. Three of you are candidates before the people for office, and you basely seize upon the time and occasion of a reception to war-worn soldiers to advance your interests, and secure votes, l ou are mistaken. You are fully appreciated by the soldier who has stood amid the leaden hail of many a battle. One of your number, at least, has been repeatedly ordered to the field, ami has never gone, and none of you ever will. The soldier knows you, and will remember you all. Your pat rot ism is affected. Talk about lighting I When did cither of 3011 ever sec a fight, or even smell powder, unless at a reception or a review? Rut you would pile up the bones of your fellow citiens all over the country to bleach on a thousand sanguinary fields, and keep your precious bodied at a safe distance. You are known, and you are understood, and notice is now served on you that at least one true soldier will remember you at the pollsUnion Soldier. The amended Conscription bill passed both Houses of Congress on Saturday. It abolishes the ?'00 commutation clause, but gives fifty days for volunteering before drafting. The drafted man, it able bodied, must serve one vear or find his own substitute. Each county and township or ward is to be credited with all soldiers hcretoforo furnished, and charged with their respective quotas. Rlacks count on the draft the same as whites, and may be taken for substitutes. The bill allows recruiting in the rebel States, with the exception of Tennessee, Arkansas nnd Louisiana; and fixes the bounty at 100 for one year's service, 8200 for two years, ami S'500 for three years. A call for '100,000 men under this bill may he looked for very soon. They are greatly needed to reinforce Grant and Sherman, and to replace tho 100 daymen, whose term of service will expiro in August and September Chicago Tribune.

UUUjOÜO of the "State treasure" which he had no more business to dispose of for his own or any other person's benefit than any other citizen of the State, except the officers recognized by the Constitution, and then only in pursuance of law. The facts that the journal asks for will be forthcoming in a few days and then the Journal will see the probe that hurts. As the Journal suggests probes, wc will make an inquiry or two of the organ of the Governor : 1. It is reported that the' Governor is the owner of a farm in Wayne countv. which cost the sum of L'5,00U. If so, by what system of financiering did the Govcrnormake money sufficient out of a $3.000 salary to pay for it t 2 It is also reported that His Excellency own- 83.000 paid up stock in a National Dank not a hundred miles from this city. We repeat the inquiry in he first question. Go ahead currvconib. St.dc SentimL General Lincoln has attempted another grand military movement, this time against Kentucky. He tried Florida once, and was rouced at Olustcc; he taicd South Carolina, and captured a few negroes, but they were rejected at Baltimore; he tried Texas, and was routed at Sabine CrossIloads. The battle which General Lincoln lights is that of the Presidency; the victory that he seeks is a re-election. It wa this battle which he fought in Floiida, in South Carolina, and in Texas, and being defeated at all these points, lie is now carrying the campaign into Kentucky. It is possible that he may meet with more success in this campaign than in some of his previous ones. In Florida he fought men with guns in their hands, and as in every case where he has attempted to tight this class of combatants, he has been unsuccessful. Rut in Kentucky he wili only encounter unarmed, peaciille citizens, and in such contests he usually has success. Tv'hen his opponents have been such men as Vallandigham. Mahouey, Jones, and such women as Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Greenhow, and Delle Royd, General Lincoln's campaigns have been uniformly successful. It is only when General Lincoln attacks the Finncgans in Florida, the Beauregards in South Carolina, the Taylors in Louisiana and the Lees in Virginia, that he has suffered defeat. Rut as there are no Lees or Johnstons in Kentucky, and nobodv save unarmed men and women and children, the friends of General Lincoln may reasonably infer his success ia his present campaign. His outset is brilliant and characteristic; it has established martial law and suspended the writ of habros corpus. His next attack will be an assault upon the press; his next effort will be to storm all the democratic stronnln Us: and his final one to so guard the polls that none but the loyal" shall be allowed to approach them. We suppose the result will be that next November Kentucky will follow the example of Maryland, and vote the abolitioa ticket. Chicago Times. The Cincinnati Gazette, in an article upon the withdrawal of Mr. Chase from the Cabinet, savs: "A house divided against itself can not staud. Tho Administration has been a house divided against itself, and instead of seeking unit' it has sought to pla)' off one antagouism against another. The fall of this house involved the ruin of the country. It was necessary that r. change should be made. And crcn if it is made so as to throw out that which gave it political charastcr, and to retain the worst elements, it may be beneficial in directing public opinion to the true responsibility."
