There is no such good luck in store for us.

Last evening our gun. ' i.-iiit:- and two of our land batteries opened upon his working parties such a fire ot'Mhell as most have very oeri-eualy interferred with their operations, though we have as yet received nopar. ticulars. The cannonade was distinctly heard iu the city. Official advices received yesterday state that our Mississippi river scouts report Urge numbers of Yankee trans-ports still going up that river laden with troops. We cau't imagine where til the Yan-kees come from that are reported going up the Mississippi, but the general be-lief is, they are coming to help Grant in his siege of Petersburg. He Stands in need of help, and a great deal of it. Oar scouts around Mobile Hay re-port that part of the troops recently operating against Fort Morgan have been sent to New Orleans. We can-not see why they should be seat to New .Orleans, uuless it is to join the multitnde who are already "going up the Mississippi." We hope sincerely the whole Yankee army will come to Virginia. The conceit will soon be ta-k «n out of them here. [Examiner lath. ly and effectively responsible to tbe snv~r- 1 punishment 01 the eign States themselves, to the exclusion of all corrective or revisoryjaction on the par ol such Slates : and howev.-r certain it may be, that a large number of our most enlight-ened and pair.otic citizens have, in the last three years, been brought most painfully to d-ubt wtielier, duiingsoch a war as that which is now goiag on. it would have beea better to have contented ourselves wi'h a mere Provibional tioverntnent capable of being dispensed with whenever it might bo found.convenient to do so I am mo«t tree lo admit, what indeed ci.Doot be decently de-nied^ that everything connected with the actual making oi a treaty of peace with the government and people with Wham wo are now contending in *rtn». nas be. a trusted j sioie mom>,ut to the President an I Senate, and to thciu alone. And I make this acknowledgment nrta whit the less cheerfully in 'he face of thd deplut-aMe and perplexing fact, dud the two Central '-' veimieiits ".a ier a j->se exc, aive diraotion tse war is beingo.tried on, are, by reason eflac'S-flot no*. nece?»a ry to b«- mentioned.

But it is lo mo inconceivable how any man enormous traitor* and roardrreis who are responsih'.e before Qod aad man for all tbe abominable crimes and mimhiefs whiea this unpardonable war has produced; and. they will, moat naturally, aim lo evade the aneaaced punishment. I confess, thnt, for one—and I feel that I can speak on this subject in behalt of my own honored constituents and of a multitude of other* ot our people, with whose feelings on this subject, I have labored most assid-uously to make myself familiar,—I am de-sirous that our Government should, without compromising iu dignity in any way, or sacrificing tha honor of onr cause, u«a all proi>er and efficient means of securing the ermination ol hostilities at the earliest poo- As Ibeen appear to be in some qua-teis notions entertained which, ifacted rpoa by thote in power, might have "«e effect of aelaymg 'he xnnmomt of pecifi- - an and need leer !y prolonging hostilities I teg leave to submit to my honored coun-try men tbe following propositions, to which and to the comments appended thereto, I asa their calm and delibeiate consideration 1. This war having been brought on by the unjustifiable action of those in power in Washington city, and having been prose-who holds these Slates to be yet sovereigns I *uted for the purpose of destroying the fun-and lecognize., 'beConfe erateGovernment damental ngats guarantied by the Consti-which we have established 1 a mere agency f tutiosi of the United Slates, it is our duty, subject to be dispensed with at any time at • after all the efforts at pacification Wuich the will of those who have called it into be j we have heretofore made, in view, too, of ing. and necessarily iu accordance with ill ' present surrounding circumstances to al sound nations of representative rssponsi- 1 low the first formal proposition for peace bility, subject from time to time to censure { to originate with our adversaries. or approval, to instruction or remonstrance, j 2.

Entertaining these general ideas, 1 shall proceed to state several views of a practical character, concerning men and things, which, if they subserve no oth-er purpose of utility, may ptrcbance by their expression elicit from others ruor eatitled to influence the general mind of the country, each admonitory BOggestii 1 B as shall prove of real and permanent value promptly favor- 3.

I admit most freely that to the valor of our armies end ski'! of our commanders we must event- •lal'j . owe more than to all else besides, v...... 1 : we be ultimately successful in the achievement of Southern Independence; aud no one is less inclined than 1 am to do or to say anything calculated in the least degree to abuse the heroic fervor of our noble so!-**!!, or to cause the smallest re-laxation in that vigilr.^-oe and energy with-out tbe united exeicise of which we shad find it impossible to escape from the multi-plied dangers which surround as. But it is obviously true that this is a great moral contest, as well as a physical one; and there are groat and difficult questions at this mo-ment rising up for solution fot tbe fortu. nate determination of which lor other qual-ities may be found requisite beside .om,,ge and rO«%.'UTion on the field ' f batt'e. or di x ■ ■ eriiy in dirow'ii.g the m .veiaents ef armed ')a"aliotis I hc%» been pleased to observe t! i! tho nor.' high -'lite.i ..'i.; influential members ■>: 'he editorial rrnifrni'j aie at :ais moment engaged i, a manly »,.

W-ro it poss'bie lor tho people, the source of all legitimate power, to cou.e together in ibeir primary Capacity, as was of such eus:omary occurre.ee before the breaking out of this tierce and all-di-; urbing war, for ihe pur-pose of considering the present condition of our civil and military concerns, and to dictate their views and wishes as to ihe offi-cial action of thoas whom they have ap-pointed te places of eminent pubic trust.il would be at l«a*l somewhat less uecessary that individual members of the great body-politic should yeyamlelii take upon them selves the responsibility of making kuowu la their fellow-citixeM tbe results of their unbiassed meilitaiious and d sinteresicJ search alter truth. Were i at this morueut in the power of the sovereign States, who are so nobly and energetically presecutiug a war of the greatest magnitude in support of their own right of absolute self-govern-ments in any easy and effective mode, te oonsult together freely and unrestrained in regard to matters afieciing most vitally their own corporate existence and essential attribute: or did the present condition ol things apparently allow of the great ques tien of War and Peace being «u- «IJirt<-■ t di-rectly to tho State", either primarily or ul-timately, (as 1 cannot b.it. consider woa'd have neen exceedingly desirable) It would hive been obviously lees unnccsstr' that el ir means should b" re-^rted 10 for the I ur ooje of briugir - into 1 dective develop-rn nt il.e public mini of the country >n ret-orence te the points wh.oh it a my|inten-tion at this moment to examine. 1 neld it 10 be true that every free citizen among us lias 11 nght openly to state in the hearing of the country, in some form or other, his well matured convictions touching all matters upou which the government, under which he lives, may be called to act. 1 remember that upon a certain memorable occasion, in Athenian annals, tho celebrated Pericles, alluding to his own highly endowsd aad wondrously cultivated countrymen, said:— ' We are the only people who account him that takes ns share in politics, not oaly as an mtermeddler in nothing, but as one who is good for nothing."

The inouarc binl governments of llurope have thus far evinced nothing like a p' ner-ous sympathy for an oppressed an 1 strug-gling people, but have iu general nianifes ed a low desiro to prolong our suffering lor their own advantage; which may, alter all, turn out to be a fortunate circumstance, in-asmuch as we have btcn aaicd by it fro.o .. sense of obligation to some, which would have proved more or less embarr.i'sii.g to Us.

The aciion of that body seems to have been well nigh unanimous in regard to all important questions. 1 ho.d t to be most certain, whatever opinion may M iiilered in certain quarters to the contra- _,, that this platform is in distinct and ir-icroncilable opposition to the further pros-jesasaasi of the war for any purpose whatev-er: the second resolution of said platform is of unmistakable import, and how an) mail 0! discerning mind ?an entertain a dif-ferent, view of the matter, I am at a lose to conceive. The resolution referred to. in 'he most emphatic manner denounces the •experiment of war,' as a means of res ton ing the Union ; declares tliat • justice, hu-manity, liberty, r-ii ihe public welfare, dema1 i thai imuiedi&TO efforts be made for i cessation 01 .' stilities ;" and though the ear I • - ! - • ipressedfor the restora- I .1 .ii the Union by pt-icetul ueai.s, there is not the rtuo;.."-! hint of intended oonstraiut ^ Ktiy k:'i whatever. It is true that the • ame resolution suggests the expedient of a "Convention ot all the States, or other I. iceabti mea, s, to the end that the ear-liest practicable moment peace may be re stored oa the basis' of a Federal Union of tha States. Surely this ought not at all to alarm us ; no coercive instrumentalities are to be resorted to, to compel us to a re union: 1 here is plainly no reason to be offended with the members of the Convention be-cause, condemning ihe atrocious war, sym pat hi/ ing with us in onr grievances under its operation, and pained.at being, as even they must suppose, separated from us forever by that very war, they yet deplore 1 list separatiou and arc M'.oerely desirous ol getting into fijendiy ami advantageous association wiih .13 or.ee more. Did our ..1 ; • ibid ai it-peace men desire the Chica-go convention to denounce the South, to ilecla-s us iiuwurihy to be connected with i.i Mines represented in that body, and to exhibit an evincible opposition to the re-newing ot ihe former confraternal ties? In relation 10 tae Convention of States suggested, such a body could of course be only consultative in lit character; .-ould not be expected to supercodc altogether tbe two Executive Departments now entrusted wi'h tbe treaty-making power, and could on v be expected, in the first instance at lea-t, lo remove all existing impediments to ai.ee and unobstructed diplomatic inter-course between those in power in Rich- .-..end and in Washington. I cannot per-ceive how this could possibly do our noble cause any detriment whatever ; its intrin-sic excellence is such that we could not [al. to derive great advantage from a free cxi»t!'

I I cannot consent 10 close this commit 1- cation -without subjoining one or, two sug-gestions as lo the future, which sugge-to n may or may not. according to circ '_.taDees, be followed up nereafte- with Wire elabo-rate expositions o- the great pn eiple, re-ferred to. Whenever the lnd*pi->.denes of the Confederate State shtil haveb»(afoi. ly established, the pnaeiple of aHsolulo State Sovereignty lor WSiea we ..re now so suceesslully contending in arms, will con-stitute the creed of onr own *•.- J of all other Confederacies which may Spring up en this continent. It cannot bo reaaonably expec-ted that the cousolidativo tendenc- whiok have irom the beginning ef its existence shewn themselves in tho nation ot tbe Fed-eral Government, will be'aUowel to exer-cise their baleful influence permanently ia any of tbe new governments which may owe their existence, directly or iud rectly, to the feartul military sttuggls whiok is now It proxies. After the painful expe-rience which we hava bad, and in which certain portions ot the North are oow din treasfully panic 1 panog, it will he indeed surprisiag if *reat efforts are not made ev erywhore, both in the North at d io the South, to stoer olear af thai fatal mok upon which the Federal Liaien has been shattered to pieces. The great and grievous blunder which the eminent statesman of lVs.7 com-mitted, in adopting a sj stem of go-.-rument which was nothing but a no 1. ichy in disguise, and which bas now mom natural-ly resulted in the most grinding t,. nary despotism which the world has' yet kno-m, (all of which was predicted in tbe las' cen-tury by snch men as Henry, Mason, Gray-sen and others) it is lo beboped will be ev-ery where avoided.

It is believed that a large number or sol-diers are new absent from their r-o-jiaan I-from a mistaken idea of the position which North Carolina holds towards the govern ment of tbe Confederate States. They have been induced to believe, that North ''aroli-na intended to withdraw ftom th« Confeden ato government and make peace with the United State, lor herself. Under this lalse impression, it is thought, many have . an-doned their associates in arras, and t e flag ef their country.

Rumors have lor some weeks picvailed among us, that even Lincoln and Cabinet are contemplating the sending of Csmsaiseionera to Richmond for the parpose of proposing to the Coniederaie Government an Armistice, with a view to the opening of formal negations for peace.

Some thirty miles below Vieksbutg the

i.eao, forming a peninsula perhap* twelve
miles long acd six broad, cooiiecteii tu the

Yards wide. TWs peninsula is called
Bovis' Bend, irom the fact of its having been
the former residence of 'he traitors, Jert
and Joe L'avis- There are five or six plan-tations
or. this peninsula. -*■ hich the milita-ry

A small number ef soldiers stationed at tbe
isthmus can easily guard the place from
gnerrillna, and, wh.le the gucboats are
petreliag the river, there is safety. Hun-drsdt
of negroes, mostly eld men, women
and ehil Iren, who have escaped from their
masters, are living on the p'antatious aban-doned

parties, under the superintendence of the
missionaries, ore cultivatfhg crops that

and provisions whioh are to be deducted
from tbe crops when harvested.

Probably "these truths self evident " were

Davis had iu his mind seme twenty years
ago when he. in the halls of our National
Congross. threatened to bang John P. Hjle

A Sumptuou* Dinner
was served on tables on the hack versnda
ef the house ; after which «everal patriotic
toasts were rosp. .. ed to, and a «mj com-posed
for the occasion, entitled "The Hoase

and then the nearest point at which he
could strike the Danville road, without
crossing the Appomattox, is forty miles
from his present position, whereas
Joncsboro' was but twenty from Sher-man's
position southwest of Atlanta—
He will not attempt it. There is no
such good luck in store for us. W~b.il?

' i.-iiit:- and two of our land batteries
opened upon his working parties such
a fire ot'Mhell as most have very oeri-eualy
interferred with their operations,
though we have as yet received nopar.
ticulars. The cannonade was distinctly
heard iu the city.
Official advices received yesterday
state that our Mississippi river scouts
report Urge numbers of Yankee trans-ports
still going up that river laden
with troops.
We cau't imagine where til the Yan-kees
come from that are reported going
up the Mississippi, but the general be-lief
is, they are coming to help Grant
in his siege of Petersburg. He Stands
in need of help, and a great deal of it.
Oar scouts around Mobile Hay re-port
that part of the troops recently
operating against Fort Morgan have
been sent to New Orleans. We can-not
see why they should be seat to
New .Orleans, uuless it is to join the
multitnde who are already "going up
the Mississippi." We hope sincerely
the whole Yankee army will come to
Virginia. The conceit will soon be ta-k
«n out of them here.

ly and effectively responsible to tbe snv~r- 1 punishment 01 the
eign States themselves, to the exclusion of
all corrective or revisoryjaction on the par
ol such Slates : and howev.-r certain it may
be, that a large number of our most enlight-ened
and pair.otic citizens have, in the last
three years, been brought most painfully to
d-ubt wtielier, duiingsoch a war as that
which is now goiag on. it would have beea
better to have contented ourselves wi'h a
mere Provibional tioverntnent capable of
being dispensed with whenever it might bo
found.convenient to do so I am mo«t tree lo
admit, what indeed ci.Doot be decently de-nied^
that everything connected with the
actual making oi a treaty of peace with the
government and people with Wham wo are
now contending in *rtn». nas be. a trusted j sioie mom>,ut
to the President an I Senate, and to thciu
alone. And I make this acknowledgment
nrta whit the less cheerfully in 'he face of
thd deplut-aMe and perplexing fact, dud
the two Central '-' veimieiits ".a ier a j->se

But it is lo mo inconceivable how any man

roardrreis who are responsih'.e before Qod
aad man for all tbe abominable crimes and
mimhiefs whiea this unpardonable war has
produced; and. they will, moat naturally,
aim lo evade the aneaaced punishment. I
confess, thnt, for one—and I feel that I can
speak on this subject in behalt of my own
honored constituents and of a multitude of
other* ot our people, with whose feelings
on this subject, I have labored most assid-uously
to make myself familiar,—I am de-sirous
that our Government should, without
compromising iu dignity in any way, or
sacrificing tha honor of onr cause, u«a all
proi>er and efficient means of securing the
ermination ol hostilities at the earliest poo-
As Ibeen appear to be in
some qua-teis notions entertained which,

I teg leave to submit to my honored coun-try
men tbe following propositions, to which
and to the comments appended thereto, I
asa their calm and delibeiate consideration
1. This war having been brought on by
the unjustifiable action of those in power in
Washington city, and having been prose-who
holds these Slates to be yet sovereigns I *uted for the purpose of destroying the fun-and
lecognize., 'beConfe erateGovernment damental ngats guarantied by the Consti-which
we have established 1 a mere agency f tutiosi of the United Slates, it is our duty,
subject to be dispensed with at any time at • after all the efforts at pacification Wuich
the will of those who have called it into be j we have heretofore made, in view, too, of
ing. and necessarily iu accordance with ill ' present surrounding circumstances to al
sound nations of representative rssponsi- 1 low the first formal proposition for peace
bility, subject from time to time to censure { to originate with our adversaries.
or approval, to instruction or remonstrance, j 2. Whenever n formal proposition shall
on the part of trie States, to whom it owes I reach our Government from the Executive
its organization and vicarious authotity— Department in Washington city, of a char-csuld
bring his mind for a moment to I acter which we could honorably entertain,
• loubt that in reierstice to the essential .jues-' it will be alike our duty and our policy to
tien of I'sacfi aed War. aud iu reference meet such proposition prorautlv and favnr-either
to the declaration al the one c the t ably,
restoration of t'-.e o"ii.. by formal treaty,
the :S;ui"s have a right 10 be consulted—
Lave a right to offer their *:n' -..-!- unbid-den,
and, in certain extreme casts.
m,uJ the execution of their sover"i^n '-.ill
by ihose m power, as well as to employ. .1
their own discretion, all proper expedients
for the enforcement of that will, whenever
great exigencies of State shall render ii
necessary. Entertaining these general
ideas, 1 shall proceed to state several views
of a practical character, concerning men
and things, which, if they subserve no oth-er
purpose of utility, may ptrcbance by
their expression elicit from others ruor
eatitled to influence the general mind of
the country, each admonitory BOggestii 1 B
as shall prove of real and permanent value

I p"ge 01 e»nsui ing as to the terms of peace,
■wfpleii or not with a proposition o( armis-nee.
though we would have a clear right to
:.i»e the armistice should we judge it to
be likely to operate disadvantageouely to
ns, yet I am far from perceiving that it
would thus operate ; and 1 hold it to be cer-tain
that should we give a negative to sucb
•1 proposition altogether, we should most
finally play into the hands of our adversa-ries,
enable the Black Republican leaders
to re inflame the war spirit of the North.
and bring about the certain defeat |
