Tho pickets on cither bank are so unwarlike and yet so near to each other that one cannot help feeling that this truce is but the precursor of that peace which shalt restore prosperity to both sections, whilst it gives secu- y and honorable terms of adjustment toeach, Phe ballot bor and mot the cartridge bax must and will be th arbuer of this strife—and my prediction is that the end is not afar. Iiinois and New Jersey, the pioneer of the West and the classic ground of the Atlantic States, are ystituting move- ‘ments which sooner or later must ripen into results al wit! justify Loth peoples. Im the language of our noble Presi dent, ‘we would hail an honorable peace with joy.’ And Ihave the best of reasons for saying that the de- Siro of our people is none the less ardent and intense ‘than that which animates the Northern army of the Potomac, now confrcnting us on the northern bank of this river. Indeed, the feeling is not comfin:d; to the’ Northern army, but it is prevalent among the Northern people, and no tyrant’s threat or cajolery can turn them from it. Taxation, excessive duties, waste of life and blood and usurpation are slowly but suroly doing their work, and the decline of the war apirit is indicated by that unfailing barometer, gold, which pow brings forty- eight per cent in the New York market. But, whilet I givo utterance to this, Jam by no means persuaded that we shall not Rave more fighting, even om this tine. My im- Ppreesian is that the farce of a government holding sway at Washington may again essay ite desperate fortunes in afight on this, to its armies, ill-fated ground. But if they do, we have the generals and (he army capable of beat- ing them back as often ax they are. possersed by the, devit of: ‘the “ forward movement”? madness.’ + ‘The Yankees are certainly a “peculiar” people. For some three days lastiwerk not a drum ‘could be heard, and scarcely a soldier was visible, Finding out, howeyer, that ‘they couldn’t humbog General Lee by this sort of clap trap, last night, imitating the Chinese, they banged and poised as if they were going to tear up things generally, and from twelve to three o'clock their balloons—three in nomber—like Mahomed’s coffin, were suspended be tween beaven and earth, evidently looking after ‘‘rebey camp fires.” From the temperature of the atmosphere on terra firma, 1 rather think they were in pursuit of Knowledge under, difficulties.

Horses are daily dying for the want of the one, and the scarceity of (he other compels the mento dig up the stumps of trees. As establishing the truth of this, the pickets on the opposite shore for the last night or so have been unprovided with fires, notwiths‘anding the severi’y of the weather. Some dozen or more citizens who went over during the fighting have been permitted to return home, both sides consenting.
