rview to our commissioners, bearing overtures of peace, and now declares that "civil war was an inevitable necessity to him." The seven Confederate States declared that they wished to live at peace with the States remaining in the Federal Union. Lincoln had only to speak three words--"Go in peace"--and peace would have been preserved. But refusing a peaceful adjustment, he preferred to reduce them by arms; and now he says "we have accepted this civil war as an inevitable necessity." Civil war could not be accepted. Peace is what was offered, and peace the Government at Washington refused to accept. Seward directs Dayton to assure the French Government "that not at the hands of this Administration is the Government to end;" that Lincoln's Administration has no idea "of suffering a dissolution of the Union to take place any way, peaceably or forcibly." In these passages he intimates to the French Government that the Confederate States have been endeavoring to bring the Federal G

Protecting the public property. Mr. Lincoln says he makes war on the South to protect the public property. The manner in which he "protects it" is to be seen in his provoking the Carolinians to fire upon what he considered public property. "Fort Sumter," while his fleet lay outside without firing a gun for its "protection." Another example is Harper's Ferry, which he "protected" by ordering it to be set on fire; and another still, the Norfolk Navy-Yard, where he destroyed everything he could lay his hands on, and made every preparation, by mining the whole yard, to scatter millions upon millions of the public property to the four winds of Heaven. Similar preparations for protection have been made in the city of Washington, where the public buildings are all ready for a grand explosion, in case it becomes necessary to "protect" them from the hands of the "rebels." We can understand from this what kind of "protection" is meant for the South in general, and the Constitution in p

A Scriptural Coincidence. --Our readers are aware that Southern Illinois is called "Egypt;" that therein, as in Egypt of old, in the city of Cairo, and that Abe Lincoln's forces are there gathering for an attack on the South generally, and Memphis in particular. In the ninth chapter and sixth verse of Moses, we read as follows: "For to, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them."

did not take care of itself first, its stockholders and creditors afterwards. But Mr. Macfarland is a lawyer, and we are proud to add, of our own knowledge, an eminent one, and, of course, he will hang by the precedents. Can't he find out some precedent authorizing the State to interpose the shield of protection in behalf of private citizens whose property is plundered, whose families are driven from their homes, and who are now here fugitives and moneyless by the mercenary cut-throats of Lincoln and Scott? Come, Mr. Macfarland, enlarge your beneficent views and give us all the benefit of your liberal suggestion.] Quite an interesting debate sprung up on a motion made by the chairman of the Committee on Elections to be discharged from the further consideration of an ordinance referred to it in reference to the number of vacancies, the cause of the absence of members, and the proper mode to reach them either by the law or the halter. Mr. Wysor sprung upon this motion like a ti
