Extraordinary Peace Mov mte at Ni- egare Fatls and Richmonad—A Grand Game ef Bia Between George Sandexs nd Old Ab Letthe world rejoice! Let the distinguished diplomats of the late abortive European Peace Conference bide their diminished heads. They are completely cc}'psed by our volunteer peace makers meeting at Niagara Falls and Richmond, under the auspices of President Lincoln. The ‘@iverse’ parties thus strangely ‘brought to- gether face to face, the magnitude of the ques- tions discussed, and the upshot of their nego- tiationa, taken all together, may be calied the eighth wonder of the world. Let it never be suid again that there is nothing new under tho sun. Read the reports, which we publish to- day, of the proceedings of these peacemakers at Niagara Fails, with the mighty river roer- ing, foaming, rushing and tumbling below them like this awful rebellion, and be eatisfied that wouflers will never cease, Niagara itect!f is cast into theshude, and even the seven wise mev of Greece, by this Httle knot of adven- turers and potiticians—Horace Greeley, chair- man—consulting torcther like ® band of bro- tiers, by authority of the President of the United States. Isis the boiling down of. all the {uuny sayings and doings of “Old Abe” into one huge, magnificent and overwhelming joke. That irrepressible President maker, revolu- tion and convention manager, aud jaek-of-ell- trades, George N. Sanders, with eye upon the ChneaZo Democratic Convention as a peace machine, gathers abont him at Niagara Falis } such rebel brities, as Jake Thoin: Mssissippt e notorious Secretary of the In terior under Mr. Buchanan): 0. O, Clay, of Als- bama (Inte United St: Seaator); J. P. TMol- | combe (‘ute momber of the rebel Congress from Virginia); and that crazy man willie the world upon big shoulders, Colorado Jewelt, and sivaightway progeeds to business, The imme. Giate business of Sanders fs a-gaiie of blaff with O'd Abe. But bow is Old Abe to be reached? Sanders knows bis man, and com- mencee operations by putling wool over te eyes of his credulous friend Massa Greeley. Greeley, sure that he has found a mare’s nest, informs the administration of his wonderful dis- covery. Old Abe, anxious to conciliate Greeley, appo'nts him Peace Conmmrssiouer to Niagara Falls, aud sends Major Hay (late Peace Com missioner to Ficrvida) to help him In his dipto- macy. Santers & Company make their over- tures for peace and reunion; Greeley. reports progress; O'd Abe, ca‘lingin the afd of Mir. Seward, rejects then; the Peace Conference collapses, Greeley retires in disgust, and San- ders returns to bis main business of manipulat- ing the Chicago Convention. But this is not atl! While these proceedings are going on at Nixgura, President Lincoln, de- termined to probe these peace movements to the bottom, de‘ails the Rev. Colonel Jnques, a | fighting parson, from litinols, of the Parson | Brownlow school, and Mr. E}mund Kirke, an- thor of the wet! kuown cbolition romance of “Arong the Pines,” and a r for the Tri- bune, on aco-overative peace m'ssicn to Rich mound. Parson Jaqnes is recoived by Jeff Dav! like a p avd fed like-an eiderman, but re turns to ington with subdsiantinily the saine peace prevosidions as thoce emanating from Sanders.

Narowon's Onoany—Having secured a Franco-Mex can orrai fa. thig cily, wo see that Napoieon bas started one in London, entitled “Revue Americ to appear twice @ month “autii further order,” ae the title paze rather naively aunounces. This paper is filled with “Nouvelles Americaines” (Aimerican nows), given io the following proportions:—Twenty lines for the United States, and four pages, the entire journal, of Mexican news, In fact, this new Mexican organ ts to appear until the filibustering scheme of Napoleon culminates in success or ignominious defeat—e result by far the most probable. Thus the work goes bravely on. The France- Mexican organ here has its editor in the suite of Maximilian, a member of his Majesty's Imperial Council, decorated with the Legion of Honor by Napoleon, and with the cross of St. Guadalupe by Maximilian. It may naturally be deduced that the reports of tuis agent will not be very unfavorable to the cause of the new Mexican empire. We notice that, In ite futile attempts at refutation, the Franco-Mexican organ published bere wisely makes no allusion to that envoy. The double relations which he keeps op with that jeurnal and the new empire are too equivocal not to be damaging to ite professions of good faith, n, of | | ciety the same, the caly exception being thet Mmeved | TRO Maryland Matders Overtaken— Scoretary Stanton—Another Brilitant Flank Movement by Sherman. As we predicted in yesterday's insue, the cavalry of Genere) Hunter’s army is already in close and successfw pursuit of the late Mary- Isnd raiders, under Hreckinridge, Raneom and Early, General Averill, as will be seon by despatches published elsewhere, has attacked the retreating forces of General Early new Winchester, the scene of 60 many past mishapa to the national aru, Killing end wounding about three bundred of their officers and wen, and capturing four guue, several hundred stand of arms and some hundreds of prisoners. One rebel general is serionsty wounded and in our hands, and the loss to the enemy tn ‘officers is reported to be heavy. Now let the divisions of Generals Dafie and Sullivan be heard from, as we have already heard from the divisions of Generals Averill and Orook, and this receut } press aud for the public. We bave too many | Maryland raid will be converied into one of the loast profitable ,and most exponsive invest- tds of rebel strategy. Jt is to be observed, as a comment on Wash- ington management, that the forces of General Hunter, still weary from the Lynchburg raid, and only brought to the tront by incredible ex- ertinus, ure the only forces we bave yet heard of as vigorously and xuccessfully pursuing the retiting foe. Nothing bas yet beeo heard from the troops sent from Washington diveetly for this purpese, uuder Major General Wright. It the news of a battle at Leeaburg shall prove to be true, we shall doubtless hear more of that column. “As we announced two doys ago, tho rebéla seewed to think of k- ig a stand at that point, laving despatched all their traius and plander southward. To the reported engagemout, however, we give liltle credit, it beicg ouly a remote possibility that General Hunter would have pushed bis columns south and west of that point if Major General Wright, who wag at Poolesville six days ago, still Biood -confvanted by any serious force of the enemy at Leeshurg, ouly twelve miles dis- tant from his position. Apparenily our precont suecess is entirely due to the energy of General Hunter. Had he waited for the red tapo machinery of Washing- ton to have gemounted the: cayatry divisions of his departinent, the’ Maryland raiders under Early inight bave spent the next two months wa vor tan, ii At St in the vicialty of the White and Red Sulphur- or Berkeley Springs, retorning northward to the Potomae ai d).eir ielsure, and with but little chance of finding auy efficient cavalry force to “make them. aftai The moment, however, that the rebel incursion North reached General Hunter's eara, Le lesued ordera for the instant purchase of all horses immediately avatlable for cavalry service, in Eastern, Ohio end West Virginia; and the result is that we have to day, in bot pursuit of the retreating enemy, very nearly six thousand well mounted men, under a leader of great energy, experience and skill. Let the pursuit only be pressed with the vigor which General Averill showed in his famous “Salew raid” iast winter, and not a wagonload of the “loot” from Maryland, aud not au organ- ized company of the men who stole it, will ever reach the shelter of any rebel depot. Thers is one gratitying citeumsiance in cou- nection with ¢he inte raid. It bas fuiriy foreed upon the attention of the country the imbe- cility and negligence of the War Department. Even the most sleepy aud. hitherto faituful of the administration organs join in the ery of dovuuneiation against Secretary Stacton now. Such w universal outery, joined with the morti- fication of such a discoarfiture as ihe Secretary lately mot with in the matter of Genoral Smith, wouldinduce any man possessed of ordinary self-respect to resign. But Secretary Stuaton, aswe might expect, swears that he will not relingnieh bis position, as will be seen by our vews from We ton, The intelligence trom Atianta shows that the abandoimouvnt of that town by the enemy mind deierred but a few @ at most, Geueral Shermoa made another brilliant flank move week on rduesday, and by @ rapid march cut off the fow. from R chmond, by throwing a large portion of Lis army on the 1 lroad at Decatur, under Geucral McPherson.

Such is the latest record of jencrat Sherinan’s operations. by be ‘ ars, ad Ovr Quota.—The quota for tho Southern di- vision of this State is about thirty-six thousand men. In this city tle quota is thus subdi vided:—Fourth Congreseioval district, 4,071; Fith, 5.971; Sixth, 4,485; Seventh, 4,259; Eghth, 4,546; Ninwh, 5,028, The total for tue ety is therefore 23.140. We fave a small balance to our credit upon a previous call, which leaves us about 20,000 men to raise by the laf of September. We can easily do it if we all work together and with a wil!. Bat there is no time for delay. Everybody should subscribe money and dram up recruits. A Tueatrican Srama—The actors aro de- manding 'arger ties, and are bolding incet- inzs to enforce their demands. We hope that tiey will be successful. Actors are very poorly paid people, while managers generally get rich, Low salaries result in bat companies and bad acting. If the actors are bevor paid we sball goon Love better performere and a higher thestrica! tone. At present the starr make & »roat deal too much monoy, and the minor players receive a great deat too little, This ig the resutt of the American stur aystem, widch has dove more to degrade the stage than anything else we can remember. Any move- ment to eqhalizo matters has our sympathy. Lot the actors stand to their Recevitmsa Neanors.- Since Massachusetts has been filling up ber quota by sending agents to the South to pick up sttay negroes many people bave bean asking why New York should not do the same. ‘The reason is that we do not want to be represented in the army by negroes. New York will not sneak out of her responsi- bility a8 Massachusetts bas done, She still has white men willing to figlit, as Massachusetts has not. But, say the objectors, negroes will fill up our quota and save white mea irom set vice. Yes; but we are not uoxious merety to fill up our quota, but to end the war; and white soldiers must do that if the people waat the war ended. Unsrortenati#.— Harvard University has just made Secretary Fessenden a Dootor of Laws. It is unfortunate that some university canuot make him a Master of Finance. Tus Reaxt Ratpers— These ragamuffins are trying to get back to Lee's army by hook or by Crook. Crook is too muoh for them, how- ever, . A’ o Parmme.—General Bherman's afaty had captured four hundred women, employes in a rebel tent cloth factory, and sent them off to Ohio, there to be set at liberty. We shell goon expect to hear of plenty of marriages in the Buckeye State. Women seem to be the only rebels left on Sherman’e Hne of mareb. In capturing them he is removing the malnsprieg of the rebellion. The male rebele cannot belp velog loyal now that the rebel women are ing sent North; “for whore heir treasure is there will their hearts be also.” Wrrkty JOunNALIsM.—The newest of the weekly papers of this cily, the Round Table, has heen the first to die. It deccased yes- terday. . The Ligh price of paper was too much for it, Atleast one-half of the other weekly journals ty this ity will follow fis example be- fore long. This will be all the beiter for the weekly papers here now, and none of them are good enough, Perhaps when the number is diminished the quality will improve, War is the best censor of the press after all.
