Leaving, for the present, the proposed convention out of the estimate, we think that the inducements suggesting an armis- tice are so great and so apparent that if they can be brought to the attention of President Lincoln be cannot long resist them. What possible impediment or objection can be presented of sufficient weight to overbalance the certain advantages of an armistice we can- not comprehend. Leaving the military situa- tion, places and lines of occupation, on land and water, just as they are on both sides, we should lose nothing from the suspension of the war for six months, On the contrary, in the re- inforcement of our armies; in their reorganiza- tion, so far as desirable; in farloughs for short terms to our officers and soldiers; in more gene- ral and careful attention than, in the midst of @ raging war, can be givem to our sick and wounded, and in all the needful preparations for a probable renewal of hostilities, we should gain immensely more from the truce proposed than could be possibly gained by the enemy. ‘Tm another and most important matter our gains would be of incalculable value.

But from the friendly and familiar intercourse which would be opened by an armistice between the soldiers, sailors and non-combatants, men and women, of the loyal and rebellious Siates, the pervading reaction on both sides that would follow in behalf of peace and reunion would surely put an end to the war. Union men and rebels, in calmly comparing notes, would shrink from a renewal of this fearful and destructive struggle, whether for an abolition millennium or the Utopian idea of a Southern confederacy upon the corner stone of African slavery. So terri- ble, indeed, on both sides, but particularly in the South, has been this work of fire and sword, slaughter and destruction, to life and property, that a iruce would surely end it. With the maintenance of the Union and the peace and harmony of the two sections as they were after the adoption of Henry Clay’s great compromise measures of 1850, the country, North and South together, would have been this day as Rome was ameng the nations in the zenith of her glory. We have lost by this de structive war, both sides included, half a million of young and able-bodied white men, and their widows and orphans fill the land with mourning. Between the contending parties, but chiefly in sacrifices to the Moloch of aboli- tion philanthropy, half a million of the blachs of the South have been cut off. In property wasted and destroyed, amd in the profits of peaceful labor diverted te this business of mu- tual destruction, the country at large has sac- rificed the enormous aggregate of at least five thousand millions of substantial wealth. Surely this is war enough for an abolition idea or a Southern confederacy. Give the people of the loyal and the rebellious States an epportunity calmly to reflect upon these things, and to com- pare notes, under the inviting shade tree of an armistice, and surely they will come to this conelusion. At all events we appeal to the administra- tiom to do something that will satisfy the country in reference to this disturbing accu- sation that the rebel chiefs are ready and anxious to enter into negotiations for peace, but that President Lincoln and his advisers are not. Let us know what is the ultimatum of the responsible leaders of the rebellion. It may be an ultimatam upon which we can build an honorable and desirable reunion to all concerned. But if nothing short of a South- ern eonfederacy or war will satisfy Jeff. Davis and his ruling confederates, the administration will stand fully justified before the reunited people of the loyal States in pushing on the war. This object of itself, if nothing more can be expected, ought to be sufficient to persuade President Lincoln to try the experiment of a peace commission to Richmond.

General Barnside’s testimony was taken yeeterday very fully. He described the mode in which the carried out his orders, showing that he did, according to bis judgment, all that was possibie under the oircum- stances. It will be seen by our map of the defences of Mobile that Admiral Farragut bas now in bis possession all the Outer and seaward defences of the city except Fort Mor- @un, which cannot long withstand bis attack. The fieet Bow left to the enemy is insignificant, and cannot present any formidable obstruction to the plans of Admiral Far- wagut. Arrivals at this port yesterday bring news of still fur- thor depredations of the pirate Tallahassee. She burned @ brig and aschooner o Montauk point on Friday, and was supposed, by vessels who saw her, to be making for the fishing fleet,in the direction of Nantucket Shoals. ‘Tho schooner Carroll, which was mentioned yesterday in connection with the captures by the pirate, reports that sbe was taken by the pilot boat James Funk, which bad Deen impressed into the service of the Tallahassee and Bo doubt manned from ber crew. The schooner A. M. Lee, from Philadelphia, was also chased by the Funk Of Long ‘sland. Tho pirate is said to have a tender from Nova Scotia, loaded with coal, sailing with her. A num- der of United States vessels hive been sent and are now in progress of going after the pirate. It is to be hoped that we shall bear a satisfactory account of their mission in course of time. Despatches from Harper's Ferry, received at an early bour this morning, state that the rebel Genera) Early Continues to retire rapidly in our front. It is thought Probable that he may make @ stand near Woodstock. Mosby attacked our cavalry supply trains yesterday morning, near Berryville, with artillery, and succeeded in burning some fifteen or Lwenty wagous, when be was riven off. General Sheridan, who has been pursuing General Early, passed through Winchester yesterday, but in what direction or with what purpose, beyond following ‘up the chase alter the rebels, is not stated. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS. Tater and interesting news from Panama and the Bpavieh-Amorican republics on the west coast of South America is brought to us by the steamship Northern Light, which arrived at this port last evening, from Aspinwall on the 6th inst. The opinion seemed to bo en- tertained by the Peruvians that a war between thom sclyes and the Spaniards was inevitable, in consequence of the conduct of the agents of Spain and the attitude of the Spanish government relative thereto. Chite is dis- posed to support ber sister republic of Peru. Important correspondence had passed between the government of Chile and the Spanish Minietor at the capital of that re. public. The Fourth of July was celebrated with much pirit in Valparaiso and Santiago. A fatal affray took place in the porter house on the corner of Ann and William streets, known as Carberry’s Bbades, yesterday afternoon, Two men, named Thomas Nowsand and Danie! E. Acker, got into @ political discus gion, nnd finally became #o excited that they resorted to Tur Sirvation in THE SueNANDOAH VALLEY.— General Early is in full retreat up the She- nandoeh valley. General Sheridan, with a sufficient force, is at his heels, and there is rea- sonable ground for the hope that Harly will not be able to get away without a battle. It is now just two months since Early left Richmoad for his movement down the valley. He had with him what we may regard in this war asa mere handful of men, With those be was able blows, and in the fight Newsand was thrown on the floor ‘with such violence that be died immediately. to isolate the capital of the United States from The New York s’ Educational Uaion for the relief | the country, to advance to the very gates of cowsed and dint twenty tho 2 ee.

Lee’s army was decimated and exhausted by the tremendous fights from the Rapidan to the Chickabominy, and was indebted only to an immensely fortified position for the ability to oppose any further opposition, for some days before Early left. Gaining time to restitin those fortifications, Lee also gained heart to attempt a diversion, and sent Harly toward the Potomac. Such areduction of Lee’s forces at that critical time must have proved fatal if Grant conld bave taken the proper advantage of it. But be was compelled to send away an equally large force, and time lost the benefit that he might have derived from that movemont. In this whole operation of Barly’s these i bat little upon which we cam congratulate our- selves, unless it be the calculation that by death and desertion Warly has lost nearly ten thousand men. But the expedition is not quite done with, and, as Bhoridan is a soldier of great energy, he may yet make his fnark in it. that might be properly @onominated “fearfully hot It ended one of the | Hottest and most disagreeable weeks known to New Yorkers for a joog time.

Ameri- can ships are now 80 scarce on the ocean that pirates “are compelled to run almost into our very harbors and to intercept the little coasters that ply to and fro between our domestic ports, and this game they can carry on with impunity. So little time has elapsed since the Florida ravaged our coasts that there aro perhaps two or three men away up in the country who are yet watchigg the papers to read of her capture, and now there comes the Tallahassee. Six captures are known to have been made by this ship in one day. Meanwhile, old Welles, bav- ing been kept awake long enough to hear Fox read the account of the destruction of the Ala- bama, bas fallen asleep again; and Fox has been so busy getting bis libel on Mr. Dickerson printed that he has not had time to think of anything else. It is said that this vessel slipped out of one of the ports “blockaded” by the squadron of Admiral Lee. In all probability it did; but whet then? Is any one so unrea- sonable as to expect Admiral Lee to watch Wilmington? Does not every one know that he has had as much as he could do putting down obstructions in the James river to keep the nasty rebel rams from getting out at his pre- cious pretty little gunboats? Can Admiral Lee wateh two places at once? None but such out-of-the-way, eccentrie old fellows as Farra- gut ever do that. Had we a govergment organized on or- dinary principlr, this cruise ef the Tallahassee and her depredations so near a Nerthern port might well be regarded as a rebel mistake, since it is calculated te arouse the country to a real sense of the supineness of the Navy De- partment. One would suppose that, therefore, it would make such a clamor as would compel a ehange, and force Old Abe to put in Welles’ place a man less pleasing to the rebel authori- ties. But the rebels need not fear that this | cruise will have any such effect. Old Abe is too closely wedded to his idols. Welles will stay where he is though the Tallahassee should captare the Brooklyn ferryboate. Taz News rrox Mexico—Unaca’s REPORTED Derection.—Every now and then we have some rose colored accounts from Mexice represent- ing affairs as highly favorable to the French. The last of these is to be found in the telegram from San Francisce, published on Thursday, in which it is said that “General Uraga declared for the empire; but only a few bundred of his men followed him.” There does not seem to be a partiole of truth in this report; in fact, it is only the reiteration of former rumors to the same effect which have been repeatedly con- tradicted by our correspondents, and even by General Uraga himself. We are, of course, aware that extraordinary efforts are being made to gain over the strongest advocates of repub- licaniam to the poor cause of the empire, as may be seen not only in the case of Uraga, but in that of the noble General Vega. Uraga and such as he are, however, made up of “sterner stuff” than that of which traitors and mer- cenaries are composed. These San Francisco telegrams have so frequently erred in con- veying intelligence that we have very little faith in such a general statement as this about the defection of Uraga. In a few days we will have our own advices, which will effectually settle the question. It must be observed that in the telegram to which we have referred is the important an- nouncement, “ Acapulco has been surrounded by the forces of Alvarez.” This statement may or may not be true; but the probabilities are greatly in favor of its correctness. From reliable information in our possession we know that Alvarez—a firm and loyal Mexican sol- dier—was, more than a month ago, within nine miles of Acapulco, with a force of from fifteen hundred to two thousand men, and that he was frequently known to enter the town with strong bands of guerillas, sweeping away cattle and ‘ammunition, and even killing the French sentinels at their posts. There can scarcely be @ doubt that with the increase of his force he has at last felt himself strong enough to threaten the place on the land side in sucha way as to cut off all Freach communication with the in- terior, and to throw the invaders upen their fleet for supplies. This appears to be the state ofthe case. To dislodge or defeat Alvarez a force of a thousand or two thousand men, with the necessary artillery, must be sent from Mexico to perform the job. But while the interested partisans of French menarchial schemes are doing their utmost to “make the worse the better cause appear,” the indomitable and fearless Cortinas, of Mata- moros, comes in suddenly, like a thunderbolt, and, scattering the lean and miserable “sol- diers of the empire,” captures the city of Victoria, and immediately prepares to march on Tampico. This Cortioas is the kind of man that a free people want among them. He isa brave, resolute and reliable man; and the Crapeaux, with all their notions to the con- trary, will have « bard time “finishing him up.” Indeed, we will not be surprised to learn that he has captured Tampico, although we doubt his ability to hold it. Lord Palmerston is said to be panting for a chance to recognize the Mexican “empire.” Let him now take note that the Mexicans are whip- ping the French badly wherever they can catch them. A French soldier, with all his extraor- dinary military prestige, does not differ much from any other man who carries arms; anda keen Mexican guerilla, with a good rifle and very little conscience, can fetch him down just as quick as Captain Scott bronght down bis coon. So let General Bazaine look out. Tor Pruvters’ Sirixe.—The World yeater- day contained o paragraph in reference to this subject which does the printers of our estab- lishment injustice. It states that at midnight on Friday they refused to work unless a cer- tain advertisement sent in for publication by ® contemporary should be withheld. The Henatp prinvers did no euch thing. They low our manner of dealing with such pro- cee@ings, and the attempt made to induce them to join ta the work of coercion failed. The ad- vertisoment was published in the Hwnatn, as all decent advertisoments will be, if paid for im advance. It may as well bo understood, once for all, that the Hmraty does not regulate the compensation it aives to its employes ip any ] offices. It bas a standard of its own, and. te, fact that our printers bave never had cause to complain of the rate of compensation given is ® sufficient refutation of the statement in another column a letter from Hiram Ketebum, Jr., explaining how the details of “the McClel- lan meeting were managed. It appears that Belmont did not subscribe a cent, and had nothing to do with the meeting. We consider this very shabby of the agent of the Roths- childs. , Mr. Ketobum’s Wtter is interesting to the public and instructive to the politicians.

REMOVAL OF THE PARK BARRACKS. ‘There are few of our citizens who will regret the re- moval of the old Park Barracks, while to mary this work witl be a subject of congratulation; - From the first these sheds were anything bat an ornament. They have been aptly compared to cowsheds, As they grew old they grew both dirty and dirty looking, until at last they became a nuisance next tointolerab'e. The old fountain In the Park was concealed entirely by them, as well as a considerable -of the Park ivelf. But still these barracks wi'l be remembered for tore than.their dis- agreeable aspect. They have a history elosely connected with the part taken by the great city of New York inthe suppression of the rebellion. The scene attending the romoval of those bui'dings was ye ebaracteristic of the bulldiogs themselves. Cro: ‘women, and girls surrou:ded the ‘workmen and ran off with ti timbers as fast as pe, were koocked down. In the scramble fer these many Iudicrous scenes ocourred.

THE SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT. The Seventh annual repor$ of the Boed of Commis- stoners of the Park bas been issued, and gives the opera- tions performed for the year ending December 31, 1863. If*figures do not lie,’ the Park authorities bave per- formed a large amount of work during that year, and yet have kept within the limits of their fxnds, leaving a balance fo hand after all estimated liabilities have been settled. The work already accomplished and represented by the Ue of the previously been noticed tes the Herarn, io the articles of our special reporver, an does not require to be alluded to in these remarks. It will be, however, interesting to notice what is proposed to be done. The terrace corridor is to have & tessellated or ornamental tile ceiling, and, aocording to design, will be very handsome. Park is to be en- closed with a wall of such a height as will not obscure the view of young persons passing along the avenue, and oy by the construction of a trench on the inner side to of ew nt to prevent the animals when turned joose from ing the ground. pe ap op Do the Park is to be laid out, after which much of the pense of construction will cease. The beats bave beet great feature of the Park during the summer montbs, affording pleasure to trey ef py 4 thousand persons. During 1863 it appears that $3, was derived from the hire of the boats, while ‘the actual expense of con- ducting the same—exclusive of the time of the construe. tion and interest on the outlay for boate—was $3,157 $8. It will thas be seen that the public gain an oxtra piea- sure, without any expense tothe Park authorities, wAile no porson is making a fortune by speculation, the profit for the year being 67 to the conductor, he finding the boats and maint 1g them in good order. On the subject of skating the revort enters largely, showing the advantage to the city in cultivating the sport. A tablo also sets forth the number of days there has been music fm the Park, aod the immense numbers of persons it has induced to visit the grounds, On the whole the report is creditable.

Stix refugees and twenty-one deserters from the revel army arrived bere to-day from City Point. ‘The former left Richmond by stealth on Thursday night and came into our lines, They tell a long story, representing that on Saturday last four trains of tweaty cars each arrived in Richmond, bringing a body of troope trom Petersburg, said to be a division, and they left im- “mediately on the Central road to rein‘orce Gen. Early. Adarge body of rebel cavalry arrived the same day, coming by railroad, and departed for the same destina- tion, One"of this party worked on Belle Island, and etates that when he left there were but Union prisonere there, the others baving all been sent to Georgia. ‘There are but few federal prisoners in the Libby prison—in fact, adhe but the sick and wounded are keps there, and these only for @ few davs a(ter thelr recep- tion. At the time the Danville Railroad was cut our prisonere were made to walk on foot some seventy miles before they took the railroad, and these men heerd the guards when they returned say that many gave out and died om the road. ‘There are no troops in or about Richmond, except im the fortifications, those on the south side being fully garrisoned, while those on the north side bave barely enough men in them to keep thivgs in order. ‘The deserters from the rebel army have belonged to different regiments, and have left their lines at different times, some as late as Monday. Most of them are from Florida, Alabama and Georgia, and bave not geverally served over one year; but they say that year wae enough for them. ‘Those from the States named above say that there is a sort of mutiny among the troops from these States, who are sick and tired of the war, and asxious to give in. The officers, however, manage to keop them from desert- ing by making them believe that if they inte car lines General Grant will put them im the front ranks of our army. ‘They state that for a long time some of them believed this nonsense, and were deterred from coming over, an@ they are satisfied that if the men in the Alabama, Georgia and Florida regiments knew that they would be troated weil by our army officers desertions would be extensive. Most of these deserters bave been stationed at the front, and cannot, they say, form any correct estimate of the strength of the rebel force at Petersburg, but none of them believe that the entire rebel army exceeds fifty thousand men, and brigades and divisions are being sent away once or twice every week to other points, Conscripts are constantly being received, however, an@ their army may be for some time kept up by these ae- cossions. The Rebels in Kentucky. Loursviuia, Ky., August 12, 1866. ‘The rebel Colone!
