Cleve land and Pittsburgh Railroad stock sold down to 110} and Ft. Wayne at 111}. Am illustration of boasted rebel cbivalry is seen in the treacherous conduct of Gen. Haywood in the battle of Sunday on the Weldon road, as detailed in our dispatches this morning. The scoundrel got his just deserts when he fell pierced through the bead by a good and true Yankee bullet. Tbe friends of bis own men who were vie- | timized by his treachery, ought and doubt less will join in tbe general execration of | his infamous memory. Wa have another sensation this morning about peace. The country is treated to the announcement that a commission of five persons, three republicans and two democrats, are already on their way to Richmond. It is not stated whether Hor ace Greely is one of tbem. We presume they have gone to see what Jeff, meaot when be told Col. Jacques tbat he was I open fer peace on tbe basis of separation, but on no other terms. Perhaps to ascer tain whether or no be will accept the Chi cago nemination. Tai news this morning is of a cheering aharaoter. We have at last obtained a firm hold on tbe Weldon railroad and it would seem as if the enemy had conceded tbe fact. Tbey have withdrawn from our front and retired to tbeir breast works immediately around Petersburg. We have followed them up to within two miles of that place on the line of tbe road. This position is a great gain to us, inasmuch ss it gives us a base from which to operate upon tbe two remaining roads that oonnect Richmond with the Soatb. Tbe left of our line below Petersburg is thus brought within easy raiding distance of tbe South Side road.? Tbe fight will next be for that road, and when wa get tbat, as the rebels well know, the Danville road follows its fate as a mat ter of course. Tbe value of our new position is seen in the decline of gold yesterday Irom 257 and a fraction to 254 and a fraction. And this decline took place too in tbe face of a gen eral firmness in tbe market, thus indicating the trne barometerical condition of tbe fioancial feeling. Tbe news from Harper's Ferry is still as cloudy and unsatisfactory as ever. We are not permitted to doubt that tbe rebels are in strong force about Winchester and vicinity, while Sheridan's command is pretty much concentrated around Bolivar and Loudon and Maryland Heights. We take it for granted tbat heavy sections of bis command are occupying Ashby's,Snick er's and the other gaps that command tbe eastern outlets of the Blue Ridge, and thai with the remainder he is covering Mary land. We hardly think the rebels will dare to cross tbe Potomao and leave Sheridan where he is. It would be a great risk, and unless they are very strong or very desper ate they will not attempt it. Mr. Ford's dispatches from the line of the Baltimore road yesterday, lndioated that no considerable force of tbe rebels oocupy Hartinsburg. A reconnoisanoe on tbe rails bad been made within two miles or tbat plaoe, and no damage was discovered, and no indications of anything in tbe way of an enemy, beyond few rebel scouts.? Early's force, movements, and intentions are certainly well concealed from tbe pub . lie generally. We trust they are mncb better known to the War Department. Toasub-treasury in New York now holds between thirteen and fourteen millions in gold and silver, while tbe current customs receipts are largely in advance of the daily demnnd for the payment of gold interest. Specie would thus continue to accumulate till November 1 but for an order made by Secretary Fessenden, tbat tbe coupons due November 1 on the 6-20 loan as well as tbe ooupons on the 10-40 loan doe September 1 shall be paid on presentation without abate ment of interest, and it is expected an order will soon be issued directing tbat payment be made as soon as presented, of full inter est to October 1, on tbat portion of tbe old seven-thirty loan due and redeemable on that day. Tbe original amount of this loan was one hundred and sixty million dollars, of which over sixty millions is yet out standing and convertible into bonds of '81. Coin interest will cease on October 1st, on the amount then outstanding. About six million dollars yet remain outstanding of that portion of the seven-thirty loan falling doe August 20, on which coin interest now ceases. The privilege of conversion into long-timed bonds will continue till three months notice has been given, however. The total sum of the interest that the Secretary has thus given orders to antici pate, is $19,572,707, while tbe customs da ties paid to the government last year, in August, September and October, were $.6,148,790, and this season they will not be materially less. There evidently isn't much danger tbat that the credit ef the government is going to be lost just yet, in spite of the predictions of the croakers. On the other hand, such is the confidence felt tbat the government wilt pay its inter est when demanded, that it ts feared tbe privilege of anticipating the interest will not be as promptly availed of as the Sec retary oould wish. The present entiregold bearing debt of the United States is $885, 358,391, the interest of which is $53,725,? 513. The customs revenue is specially pledged to the payment of this interest, and as this revenue was $105,218,192 for the last fiscal year, it is evident the gold bearing debt migbt be macb larger, and ?till gi?e ua do trouble to paj tbe interest. Nor need there be any apprehensions for tbe fotnre; tbe receipts from customs ander the new tariff law are Ilkelj to increase as fast as tbe interest on the national debt. HEWS FROM THE SOUTH 7Vi< Critical Stage of the War?Caution and Patience Weeded?The Approaching Union Draft?The People of the Sottf/i Heartily Sick of the War, $c. . From the Richmond 8?ottoe], Aug. 20. We bavf arrived at a very critical stage of the war; and calm circumspection, cau tion and patient endurance are needed to carry successfully through it. To weath er tbe next six weeks will be a most diffi colt task for the Nortb. She ii well aware of tbia, and will no doabt be very busy in endeavoring to entrap ai into batty com promises, concessions or admissions that may deprive us of lbs vantage ground which we are likely'to attain in less than two months. Within tbat time it is not at all imptobable that the armies of Qrant, Sherman and Sheridan, by losses in battle and by other causes, will have been al most annihilated. Within tbat time it is almost certain tbat tbe approaching Chi cago convention will have thrown its apple of discord and destruction into the already distracted and discordant rankB of tbe Nortb. It may suggest terms of honorable peace. At least it will be sure to endeavor to battle rather than promote tbe peculiar war policy of Lincoln, because it believes tbat tbe war policy is equally directed against tbe liberty of the North and in | dependence of tbe South. Let us await patiently the results of tbat convention before finally committing ourselves to any Bpecifio terms of peace; for they.bave mucb to fear from tbat result, we nothing to apprehend from it. It may impede, thwart or embarraSB the plans and purposes of tbe war parly at tbe North. It may make tbeir situation worse, but cannot effect ours. Let us await, too, the experiment oi tbe impending draft. If it fails, the North will be aimoBt without an army, and we should be sure of better terms of peaoe than we oould now even hope for. That it will fail, at least partially, seems to be expected or apprehended by all parties, even among themselves. It may give rise to mobs, riots, revolutionary outbursts and civil war in tbat seotion. It will certainly increase and exacerbate the hatred of New York, Penn sylvania, New Jersey and the Northwest to wards New England. The former States aod seotion suBtain the war as a matter of honor, New Eogland as a source of wealth. She is growing riober and richer every day by its prosecution, while they are being Impoverished by it. We believe, aocqrding to tbe duello code, tbe requirements of honor are satisfied when blood (however little) bas been drawn. These States and tbat section have shed whole oceans of it. Neither the code of honor nor the dictates of tbe most generous magnanimity require tbat tbey should shed more. T? do so would be savage brutality, not generous chivalry. They sbonld say, and migbt say most truly to New Eogland, "You brought on this war. It is your war. You have made millions of money by it. We make common cauBe with you, for we felt that tbe storming of Fort Sumter was an insult to the whole Nortb. Dut it waa a mere In sult, and one which New Eogland men and measnres compelled tbe South to offer us. We have ahed enough blood and lost or expended enough treasure to wipe off a thousand such insults. We can bear and suffer no more to satiate your hatreds and build up your wealth, whilst by so doing we are wasting onr own lives, wasting our own treasure, ruining oursolves and entail ing hopeless poverty on our posterity.? This draft we will not bear I" Even if any one State should take the stand we suggest, the farther prosecution of tbe war would be hopeless, for other States would soon follow tbe example. But suppose the draft sucoeeds. It will only put in raw, undisciplined, reluctant recruits and mercenary substitutes to sup ply tbe places of volunteer veterans. We shall be better situated to treat for peace after tbe draft than now, even if it sucoeeds. There will be a long interval or gap of time between the enlisting of drafted men and tbe making soldiers of them wherein we may carry on the war to advantage or treat for peace on (air and equal terms. In the meanwhile tbe expiration of tbe terms of service of their three year? vet erans and one hundred days men will be continually weakening tbemand relatively strengthening us. Their currency, too, is sure to grow continually worse, and without money?money tbat is readily current, tbey cannot loog prosecute tbe war. Our cur rency is fast and steadily improving, and Congress, at its next session, has only bold ly to proceed with the stringent measures it bas already inaugurated to relieve us lu a short timo of all difficulty as to money matters.. Six weeks hence we are almost sure to be in a mucb better condition to treat for peace than we are now, and our enemy in a much worBe condition. Within tbat time it may be tbat we shall have defeated and gotten rid of the armies of Orant, Sherman and Sheridan, capturing part of them and expelling the balance from our territory. Six weeks hence, instead of waging defen sive warfare, we may be invading the en emy's soil, and carrying on offensive war fare. We have little to apprehend and much to hope for within that period. Time Is victory to us and death to our enemies. We are heartily sick and tired of this long, bloody and cruel war; so are all of our people. But let us cautiously beware, lest our aoxiety for peace should give our cunning and wary enemy the opportunity to overreach and entrap ns into Improper concessions. At no time during the war have we stood on such high vantage ground. At no time have we bad so good reason to iosist on all we have ever asked: untrammelled, unconditional independence. In tbe meanwhile let us be ever ready to listen to propositions lor peace, however preposterous the terms pro posed, provided those terms, like all other matters tbat either party may propose, shall be open to tree discussion and nego tiation and not laid down as ultimatum.? Let us be ready to open negotiations for peace at anytime as equals treating with equals, but in no other way. Every day that the negotiation proceeds we shall be growing relatively stronger, our enemy positively weaker. As to tbe matter of the armistice, the subject is surrounded with great difficul ties, and we are not prepared to venture an opinion. It may be proposed as a mere trick to get Sherman's and Grant's armies out of their embarrassing situations and safely home. All along each side of the Mississippi, too, the enemy baa troops tbat, lu returning home, would have to run tbe gauntlet of thousands of onr raid ers aod guerrilla troops tbat woold harass and decimate them (rom either baqfc of that long and tedious river. We hold the enemy in a tight place and probably should rather press onr advantage rather than relieve him of his difficulties by consenting to an armistice.

Why should copperhead politicians task 1 their arithmetical faculties in efforts to magnify the national dfebt, and indulge their lugubrious fancies in estimating ill probable expansion ? It had been more to the purpose had they tried to prevent the war which now taxes as so heavily, or la bored to terminate it at the earliest moment. They did neither. When traitors mutter ed of rebellion oar northern pro-slavery men encouraged an outbreak by promising assistance and co-operation. Over and over again, at public meetings and through all their journalism, did they give this lata! counsel. The judgment of posterity must hold them guilty of participation in the original crime, since they were evi dently accessories before the fac;. These locltors to revolt having thus brought on the rebellion, are logically pre cluded from complaining of its cost. Were the whole burden of taxation to be imposed on these men, scarcely would tbeir com plicity in the gre*t villainy be adequately pnnisbed. As they sinned thus In the first instance, i they have contluued-thelr nnpatriotlo ??n" duct through every stage of the war?dis couraging enlistments in the army, stir ring up resistance to the drafts thereby necessitated, and deorrlng the nation s ability to repay its loans. Vallandigbam proclaims in bis speech at Syracuse that our currency is worth but thirty-eight cents on the dollar, and predicts that the south ern rebellion must necessarily triumph. When we were contending against Brit ain in 1814, our government was glad to get loans at Beventy five cents on the dol lar, payable in paper temporarily redeem able as now. The present administra tion negotiates loanB at one hundred and ten cents on the dollar; and tbe dollar of the present day will buy just as much now of every commodity as it did then. We then ran op a public debt of one hundred and thirty millions of dollars, and there were ravens then as sombre colored aB those wbo now croak ruin, to prophesy that the debt never would be liquidated. Yet it was paid In full principal and interest, to tbe confusion of tbe croakers and the profit ot those wbo bad confidence in the nation. So will it be again. The Indebtedness of this great war, present and prospective, exoeeda not the ability of our people to re pay It and will impose but moderate pri vation In the process. We have a country abounding in natural wealth, and a popu. lation eminently capable in ili develop ment. Steam and its manifold applica tions on land and water is ready to lend its aid in the augmentation of every pro duction. and m any mechanical aids of modern contrivance oontnbute still further to multiply that power. We shall hence forth manufacture for ourselves, and thus avoid that drain of tbe precious metals, so hurtful to oommercial stability and so ln imioal to our steady progression. Immi gration will aid ns muob, and we shall re pair onr waste of population in this bloody contest in a far shorter period than ever did any nation before, If France recupe rated from the Napoleonic wars in a man ner that astonished the nationB, is it not nearly certain that we shall also spring to a new lifo and a glorious career. Tbe copperhead might have aided us much in terminating this war at an early period, had he been patriotic and loyal.? He might have somewhat atoned for his original guilt if he had accepted the offer of the Republicans for a fusion of both parties in a noble effort to suppress tbe re bellion. But the Democratic leaders made no such atonement. By word and act they aided the rebellion which their arts had fomented. Some of them joined tbe insur gents in the field, but most remained among us, embarrassing and clogging the Admin istration in every measure calculated to weaken the rebellion. Had they cboann the better part, and aided their country In her hour of peril, who can believe that this war could have lasted so long I It was in their power to increase the popular enthu siasm in favor of liberty and union ; they chose, instead, to deaden and repress it, poisoning the minds of the masses by false insinuations, and preventing that full and early display of military strength which long ere this might have crushed the trai. tors. Who can tell how many gallant Irish men were thus Becretly dissuaded from join iug their countrymen on the battle fields of Virginia, and securing a preponderance to the Onion armyt We do not deny that many Democrats came nobly to the reBcue, and aided ma terially in the progress we have made. But we wanted more from those stalwart multi tudes, and would have got them were it not for the disaffection of their political lead ers. These are the guilty men who began and have protracted the evils of which they now complain. The war, grievous as it is in many aspects, has some redeeming fea tures which we have elsewhere pointed out. But were the conoomltants all evil, and their sum in treasure or sufferiog far be yond the actual totality, still would it be juBtly chargeable to the very clamorers who now assail us with their loud com plaints. Tbey incited tbe war in the first instance, and are responsible, equally with tbe rebels themselves, for all its conse quences. Thej forbore to change their course when tbe calamity hurst upon us, and added to their previous criminality by a dogged persistence in political mlsdoiog. Even now they would pander to the rebels, and put tbem again in tbe seats of power to rule and ruin the conntry. Will the people ever again entrust with tbe reins of government politicians so unpatriotic and dangerous? From Uarper*a Weokty. TO UNION HEN. The rebel -papers, considering that they are printed in what they call another coun try, are curiously interested in the political movements of this oountry. Tbey print long oolnmns of anxlons speculation, and then assure us that they have no shadow of in terest in the matter, and that their con tempt for ns and our affairs exceeds ex pression. A reoent performance of this kind in tbe Richmond Examiner is ptcu liarly amusing. It thinks it sees signs that tbe Administration is to be defeated, and It cannot conceal its joy. Its ribaldry is as remarkable as in tbe days that fol lowed Sumter, when it was lull of fervid longings that tbe Yankees would only come down and be soundly flogged by tbe slaves, since Southern gentlemen disdained tbe dirty business of whipping them with their own hands. Since then, however, at Vicksbnrg, at New Orleans, at Gettysburg, and In Virginia and Georgia, the Southern gentlemen were not disinclined to try tbeir hands; and it is a carious and Interesting fact that tbey have whipped the Yankees all the way from Qettysburg to Petersburg, and from the Ohio to Atlanta, and will probably not be satisfied until tbey have whipped the scoundrels into tbe Oulf. The Richmond Ezamintr says with sol emn exultation, in words tbat are the jnst indication of the dignity of the rebel cause and the honorable spirit in which it is con ducted: "Tbe obscene ape of Illinois is abont to be deposed from the Washington purple He was in the eyes of all mankind an unanswerable argument for our scesslon; be stood there a living justi fication, seven feet higb. of the steadfast resolotlon of these States to hold no more political anion with a race capable not only of producing such a being, bat of making It a ruler and king." There is a great deal more in tbis strain, which i* peculiar to a baby-selling obiv alry?a strain in which Jefferson Davif ?bowed himself an accomplished adept when be called bis feltow-citiseoa against whom hebaa drawn the sword "byeoaa." Bat such articles show, wbatis not suf ficiently apprehended by oarielrea, the moral value of the maintenance of the Ad ministration. Contemporary witb thia Ad ministration, tbe war for the Union la necessarily identified witb it. Tbe rebels and their friends tbe Copperheads have constantly denounced it aa "Lincoln's war;" while oar own foreign friends and enemies have alwayi regarded the President as tbe accepted exponent of tbe war. Tbe rebels undonbtlunean, therefore, to show a brave front until after tbe election. They know if, by holtTtog on, they can only fatigue or dishearten loyal men to the point of declar ing that tSey must have a change merely for the sake of change, that tbe defeat of Mr. Lincoln will be accepted by their own population as a sign of desire to compro mise and yield, while it will be understood by foreign powers in the same way, and assure tbem that tbe boor baa come for encoessfol mediation, recognition, or inter ference. The one thing which, nnder the circum stances, wonld be tbe most valuable to the rebels la the defeat of Mr. Lincoln; while, on the other hand, bis re-election would be tbe most shattering blow to tbem. For it would say plainly to the whole world that tbe loyal people of the United States, while tbey differed upon many poiota of policy, were heartily agreed upon tbe one great essential aim of the maintenance of tbe Union by tnna against all who by armi seek its overthrow; tbat failures of many kindB were iaaeparable from all human en terprise!: that, as they bad begun, they meant to finish; and that while there were many faithful and devoted patriots io their ranks, there was no one more faithful or more devoted than the President, who bad borne so patiently the beat and burden of tbe day. Any change whatever shows some kind of dissatisfaction witb the war and its policy. But the re-eleotioo of tbe President reveals a grim and impregnable resolution, tbe earnest of absolato victory. For the Intelligencer. Who Should aruutite I I think if the soldiers do not grumble no one should. In tbis day of dissension, disunion and disaffection, grumblers are rampant for tbeir rights, and existing forms of government are scoffed at. The Democrat or Copperhead bates the Govern ment as it is, curses and reviles its repre sentatives, continually points to mon archies and anarchies aa better forms of government, and wishes for the success of tbe enemies of the United States. Jeffer son Davis sends Lee to tbe field witb a prayer from all tbe Confederacy for his success, and these men wish for the same. Yoa and I may not see alike, but if we agree that Old Jeff la wrong, we ought to agree tbat those wbo wish tbe same tbiog that he does are wrong. If we agree that Jefferson Davis is wrong, we must agree tbat Abraham Lincoln is right, and if we agreo tbat Davis is right we mast admit tbat Linooln is all wrong. We must be either "for Qod or Mammon." "We oan not serve two masters; we must either love the one and bate tbe other, or oleave to tbe one and despise tbe other." Lincoln and Davis are not both right, for one says "I can secede," and the olber says "you cannot." A man is a traitor or for the government, for tho administration of Davis or Lincoln, for tbe authorized ad ministration of tbe rigbtfal government, or of tbe wrongful one. If tbe nation has bled to maintain its rights] and perpetuate tbe ancient Institu tioos of our revolutionary sires; if millions of men and money bave been cust as sac rifices on tbe national altar, why then, if nothing has been gained some one may grumble, but wbo? Is it tbe man who never marched a mile or fired a gun in de fence of the Union ? Is it he who Btayed at home and laid up bis money, bad homes of ease and plenty, while oar soldiers bad no comfort at all? Is it those? Let common sense answer. And yet who ever heard a soldier grumble about it? A Soldier. D1EU, at 2o'clock, Aiom I-ortho, jronng.it ?on of J. O. and K. V. OUne, aged 10 months and 0 days.
