Prospect of peace. --The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says: It is reported that Mr. Crittenden, as a member of the next House of Representatives, will, at the ensuing session, bring forward a plan of pacification.

Views of Senator Crittenden on the war. The Hon. John J.

John J. Crittenden made a speech at Lexington, Ky., last week, thus defining his position as a candidate for Congress: The first great object which he ardently desired was, that this war should be put an end to; that the longer it continued, and the more devastating it became, the more difficult would be its solution; and to the end of pacification and the restoration of the kindly feelings which once prevailed among the happy and prosperous people of a common government would his whole energies be devoted, if it should be the pleasure of the people to confer on him the responsible trust of represon of his country, under which the nation had been so prosperous, the people so free and happy, and the blessings of which are priceless and innumerable. Mr. Crittenden declared that, in his judgment, every means should be resorted to restore the blessings of peace, to preserve the Union, and to hand down, unimpaired, the nob

Crittenden, constitute the basis of such an adjustment as would be accepted by the people of this Commonwealth. Resolved, That copies of the foregoing resolutions be forthwith telegraphed to the Executives of the several States. The Alabama Commissioners.--The Special Committee appointed to wait on the Alabama Commissioners--Messrs. Arthur F. Hopkins and F. M. Gilmer, Jr. --who were appointed by their State to visit, consult, and advise with the authorities of Virginia as to the be
custody, to restore them intact, in the event of a peaceful solution of the present difficulties, or account for them in an equitable division of the public property.--The Joint Committee on State and Federal Relations presented a report, in which they say that unless the present difficulties are adjusted a dissolution of the Union is inevitable. They extend an invitation to all States desirous of preserving the public peace to appoint Commissioners to meet at Washington, D. C., February 4th, to consider and resolve on some plan for an equitable adjustment. It provides for the selection of five Commissioners on the part of this State, and directs that they shall submit the plan to Congress for ratification, and send the same also to the Virginia Convention and General Assembly.--The report favors the propositions embraced in Hon. J. J. Crittenden's resolutions, introduced in the United States Senate, as containing the basis of an equitable adjustment. It was ordered to be printed.

ssion of Kansas was postponed. Mr. Hunter offered resolutions for withdrawing troops from the seceding States. Mr. Polk, of Mo., made a speech in favor of the resolutions. A two hour discussion ensued on the proposition to give Mr. Crittenden the floor to-morrow, instead of Thursday, to the exclusion of all business. The proposition was finally withdrawn. Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, in a speech, said, Mr. President, when the record shall be completed, which Senators are aboutat part of the President's special message recommending that the questions at issue be submitted to the people. Mr. Holman introduced a coercion resolution. Mr. English introduced a resolution for obtaining an expression of opinion on Crittenden's resolutions. No action was had on either.

Resolved, That we demand that our representatives and servants, (and not our rulers, as some ignorantly style them,) both in our national and State Legislatures, shall at once initiate movements for a peaceable solution of our difficulties, so that civil war may be avoided, and the wheels of business may again begin to move, and remunerating labor return

His speech was received with the warmest applause.--He was followed by the distinguished Senator from Mississippi, who, in a brief but eloquent speech, enumerated some of the causes which had induced his State to dissolve her connection with the Federal Union, and expressed the hope that ere long Virginia would join her in a glorious Southern Confederacy. He drew a graphic picture of the stolid indifference with which the recent remarks of Mr. Crittenden were received by the Republican side of the Senate Chamber; when that noble old statesman, turning round and addressing them, poured out the most eloquent stream of patriotic appeal that he had ever heard in his life, their manner seemed even contemptuous, and was in keeping with the fact that no Republican has yet offered a compromise to the South.

The preamble and resolutions presented on Tuesday by the Joint Committee on State and Federal Relations was adopted, with an immaterial modification of one resolution. The report invites all the States to appoint Commissioners, to meet in Washington on the 4th of February, "to consider, and, if practicable, agree upon some suitable adjustment of the troubles at present afflicting the country. The mode of so doing is indicated in the resolutions, which declare that the propositions offered in the United States Senate by Hon. J. J. Crittenden constitute the basis of such an adjustment; would be accepted by the people of this Commonwealth."
