It a mutual benefit to the millionaire, the mer chant, the professional man, the student, the and ths artisan. of itself already the attraction of the me- known as the “Society for Obtaining the Cessa- tion of Hostilities in Amerioa,” on the basis of Southern confederacy. From the report which we published yesterday of the applica- tion recently made to Lord Palmerston by 6 deputation of this society in behalt of peace, it appears that Southern independence is now virtually accowplished, and that her Majesty’s goveroment has only to say £0 to the “federal authorities” to secure its recognition. It further appears, from its owa showing, that this peace society represents the predominant public sen- timent of the “three kingdoms,” in addition to the “whole South,” the “peace party of the North” on this side of the Atlantic, and the “nations of the European continent.” Notwith- standing thig powerful array, however, of societies, parties, States and nations, Lord Paimersion remiaded his petitioners of the old ‘That they who to quarrels interfere Wiil often wipes bloody nose, that there was reason to fear that the friendly intervention asked for, if tried now, “would only have the effect of exasperating the North,” and that, in short, the time had not yot come “at which any mediatory proposala could be use- fully made.” And so, Admiral Anson, in bebal/ of the society, “having thanked his Lordship for his courtesy, the deputation withdrew.” Thus bas been graciously accorded to us another prolongation of the season of grace youchsafed “the @ederal government” in Eng it is confirnied in the with- drawa! of Mr, Lindsay’s motion, lately pei in the House of Commons, for the recognition It is said that this withdrawal was the result of an interview between the rebel emissary Mason and Lord Palmerston, with a cort of implied promise that “whon Grant and Sherman have been defeated” his Lordship will be prepared to support Mr. Lindssy’s proposition. We have nothing, thore- fore, to fear from British intervention. land’s hands are tied. The sinking of the Alabama has doubtless convinced Lord Pal- merston of the danger of avery “bloody nose” if he should interfere tx this domestic quar- rel of ours; white, on the other hand, so little can he rely upon his “aappy accord” with Louis Napoleon that he shrinks from the active intervention required -to save poor little land’s neutrality. As the Park added to its alluring beauties by the unceasing care of its managers; as before that waving sea of roses, which for so long a time charmed the eye and refreshed the senses, died away, some- thing new in the way of delicious moonlight music upoa the lakes was introduced by the Conunissioners; as the floral, zoological and other collections are daily extended; as new fountains, with sparkling and brilliant jets, are being continually added; aud as the approaches to the magnificent grounds from the lower part of the city are becoming gradually more and more improved—so will this incompara- ble Drive, rivalling the Corso of Naples, become, as the elliptical extension of the grand Park itself, the chief reorsalive charm of the city, the sumptuous Boulevard ‘of New soveseign is wife of Eugland’s future king. As regards the influential character of this English pence soclety in reference to American affairs, the reader may form a fair opinion from the fact that the Marquis of Clanricarde, a brokea down debauchee, heads the roll of its members, followed by such philanthropists as Mr. Lindsay, Mr. Speace and other humane gentlemon concerned in rebel shipbuilding, blockade rnnning and cotton loans. intermixed with rectors of parishes and other members of the clergy; but what else can these men do than obey the wishes of their aristocratic masters? Against the exaggerated strength and ivflyenee of this rebel sympa- thizing peace society the cause of the Amori- can Union commands the apport of the masses of the British people. But the leading Southern confederacy advocating peace asso- ciation says that the independence of that confederacy “is virtually a fait accompli,” We should like to kuow tow much? the extent of country claimed by this con- federacy, and what is the extent of the States or parts of States recovered from the rebellion ‘by the United States, and governed by the laws thereof? Where are we to fix our boundaries in proceeding to u treaty of peace upon the basis of Soutbern independence? If we recognize only the States and parts of States now held under Jeff. Davis we shall recognize a confederacy shorn of tore than half its pretensions, cut in two through the midale by the Mississippi river, an absolute Union possession, and shut off from the ocean except at one or two points by a belt of Union seaports and fortifications. The United States have the Mississippi river down to the sea, and can, must and will so hold it, in any event. What, then, is to become of the States on the west side of that river in recognizing a Southern confederacy? The dif- ficulty in behulf of Southern independence, as thus far maintained by the rebels, could be settled only by recognizing two Southern con- federacies; and that would never do. In & word, upon this important question of o boundary, the Southern confederacy, for which Jeff. Davis is fighting, is absolutely imporsible upon any terms of separation from the North which could be arranged by all the Powers of The Northwestern States hold, and will hold, the Mississippi river to the sea, aud to the end of time. ‘There is a peculiar fitness in applying the term “Boulevard” to the proposed great circu- The original word was applied rampart of a fortifica- fo a bulwark or tion or fortified town; applied, as in the. Parisian capital, to pub- lic avenues or walks occupying the sites of demolished fortifications and redoubts, and lund immediately adjacent thereto. No part of the country cawshow a district more redo- lent of remarkable patriotic efforts during the carly sivuggles of the Revolution than those made on the line of the proposed Drive. From the point on the Harlem river where it is to be comuenced, by extending Seveuth avenue, clear round to its teruious at Manhattanville, the hiits aud ravines and the river banks are brigh’ with the records of intrepid deeds per- formed by the brave heroes of the Revolution. Tt was from the banks of the Harlem that the English commander, Sir William Howe, with his mercenaries, the Hessians and Waldenses, under Knyphausen and Robl, made his advance Washington—now Washington Nearly every foot of bis approach was met by @ few determined Americans. From their rude redoubts on the river the patriots were driven by the overwhelming force of numbers, until finally they were obliged to seek refuge within the walls of the fort, their path of retreat “marked by the dead The heroic Magraw, with his handful of men, defended the fort, end, in reply to the summons of the English com- mander to surrender or that the fort would be by assault, replied that actuated by the that mankind ever determined to defend Jost.” The fort wus taken by assault, and its brave defenders were ruthlessly cut down by the Hessians while begging for quarter—a bloody deed that was witnessed by Washington from Fort Lee, on the opposite shore, and “the Father of his Country wept as. he saw it.’ Therefore, we say, thore is a singular aptness in “styling this new Drive the “Boulovard of New York;” for all along its route are traces of sites of demolished redoubts and breastworks, and crowning all are the bold Heights of noble Fort Washington itself. We repeat that we are glad to see the people taking hold of this magnificent project in the hearty manner they do. But they should not confine themselves to merely talking upon the subject. They should set about the work of having men sent to the next Legislature who will exert themselves in seeing that all needful legislation on the subject is speedily adopted; who will exert themselves in sweeping away whatever may remain of that notorious com- bination of silliness and cupidity, the Washing- ton Heights Commission, and in seeing that the greatest improvement that can be proposed for our city may not be defeated by the mercenary operations of selfish and ambitious men. speechmaker of bodies of Hessians.” Twe Rercaticay Stare Coxvexrion.—The press despatches announce that the Republican State Central Committee met at Saratoga Springs yesterday and called a State Convea- tion, to nominate candidates for Governor and other State officers, to meet in Syracuse on the The committee, it seems, were unable to settle the difficulties and the fight between the two wings of the party, which was understood to be part of their mis- They found this a task far beyond their ability to manage, and have therefore referred the whole subject to the State Convention when it assembles.

Since events have shown that his despatches gave the ouly correct version of what was transpiring there, all must admit that he must have been ina pesition to know what was being done and said. He reiterates that Sanders and other Southern representa- tives frequently stated in unequivocal terms that “they preferred the election of Mr. Lin- coin to Gencral McClellan,” and that they coupled this with the assertion that “In the event of Mr. Lincoln’s re-election the South would be positively sure and certain to secure their jiadependence;” that “he (Lincoln) would continue his bungling mismanagement of the war until the North became so tired and disgusted that a revolution would follow, furnishing the South with an opportunity to accomplish the object of the rebellion and the war,” THE SITUATION BEFORE ATLANTA, Lovisvitax, July 27, 1864, Major LW.
