The South on Peace. _, The Richmond Enquirer, an official organ 'of. the Confederate Government, contains in its issue of the 16th the follow! editorial on © Peace, " which will be read with. in- terest: "Save on our own terms we can accept no peace. whatever, and must fight till dooms- day rather than yield an iota of them, and our terms are: : " Recognition by the enemy of the inde- pendence of the Confederate States. " Withdrawal of the Yankee forces from every foot of Confederate ground, including Kentucky and Missouri. Withdrawal of all. the-Yankee «soldiers from Maryland, until the State shall decide by a free vote whether she shall remain in the old Union or ask admission into the Confederacy. "Consent on the part of the Federal Government to give up to the Confederacy its proportion of the navy as it. stuod' at the time of secession, or to pay for the same. "Yielding up of all pretension.on the part of the Federal Government to that por- tien of the old Territories which lie west of the Confederate States. '* An equitable settlement on the basis of our «bsolute independence and equal rights of all accounts of the public debt and public lands, and the advantages accruing from foreign. treaties. 'These provisions, we apprehend, com- »the minimum of what we must require That is to The whele pretension of that country to prevent by force the separation of the States must be abandoned, which will be equivalent to an avowal that our enemies were wron ¢ from the first; and, of course, as they waged a auscless and wicked war upon us, they ought in strict justice to be required, a¢- cording to usagein such cases, to reimburse to us the whole of our expenses and losses in the course 'of that. war... Whether. this "last proviso isto\be insisted upon' or not; certain we are that we cannot have any peace at all until we shall be in a position 'not only to, demand and! exact, but also to enforce and. collect, treasure for our. own 'reimbursement out of the wealthy cities of the enemies' country. In other words, un- less we can destroy or scatter: their armic 8, "and break up their Gove-nment, we can have-ho peace, and if we em do that, then we ought not only to extort from thie our own full terms and ample acknowledgement of their wrong but also a handsome ind 'nity for the fouhte and sxpenee ¢a Lio "us by their crime. " prise before we lay down our arms. "Now, we are not yet ina position to 4very different from the present. ns" army "still in the heart of our country, and Meade. still on. Virginia soil,, but. though it is "too soon to propose such conditions to them, yet it is important that we should keep them plainly before our eyes as the only admissable, basis of any con- ceivable peace. This, well fixed in the Confederate mind, there will be no» more fearful looking for newsi from Europe, as if that blessed peace were to come to us over the sea, and not to' be conquered:on our own ground. 'There will be no more gaping for hints of recognition and filling of the belly with the East wind; on more dis- traction or diversion from the single momen- tous business of bracing up every nerye and sinew of the country for b.ttle. "Tt is especially now, at the moment when great and perhaps decisive battles are impending at two or three points that we think it. most essential to insist upon the grand and en'ire magnificence of the stake and cause. "Once more we say it is all or nothing. This Confederacy or the Yankee nation, one or other, goes down, down in perdition. That is to say, one or the other must forfeit its national existence and lie at the mercy of its moitil enemy. " We all know by this time the fate in store for us if we succumb. The other party has no smaller stake. " As surely as. we completely ruin their armies--and without that there is no peace or truce at. all--so surely. shall. we make them pay our war debt, though we wring it out of their hearts. And they know it well, and, therefore they cannot make peace ex- cept through their utter exhaustion and ab- solute inability to strike another blow. "The stake they have to forfeit then, if they lose this dreadful game, is as vital as ours.. So isthe stake to be won if they win anything. It is no less than the entire pos- session of our whole country, with us in it, and everything that is ours, from Ohio to the Rio Grande, to have and to hold, to them and their heirs forever. " But, on the other hand, what we mean to win isutter separation*from them for all time. We do not want to govern their country, but after levying upon it what seemeth good to' us by way of indemnity, we leave it to begin its political life again from the feminine hoping that the en may have made them sadder but_ wiser Yankees. ee "We shut. them out forever, with all their unclean and scoundrelly ways, intend- ing to lead our lives here in, our own Con- federate way, within our dwn well-guarded bounds, and without, as St. John Baye, are dogs. " And let noConfederate feeble, knees and tremulous backbones: say to us, this complete triumph is impossible ; say that we must. be content with some kind of com- promise, and give and take: on the contrary we must gain_all or Jose all; and that the Confederates will indeed win the giant game, we take to be' as certain as any future event in this uncertain world. Meade's army and Rosecrans' once scat- tered, Lincoln can get no more | armies. The draft turns out manifestly fruitless. Both the German and Trish element are now for peace. 'The Yankees have to bear the brunt of the. war themselves, but in the meantime their inevitable bankruptcy is ad- yancing like an armed man. Hungry ruin has them in the wind. It cannot be long before the cabinet of Washington will have, indeed, to consider seriously proposals for under auspices and circumstances For the present the war rolls and thunders on, and may God defend the right." peace, New Railroad A' project for a railroad from Guelph to some point on Lake Huron, is under discus- sion. A' committee of the rate payers of Elora, appointed to confer on the subject with a committee of Ferous made a favor- able report, embodied'im the following re- solution, concurred in by the Fergus rate- payers at a public meeting :. Moved by Dr. Middleton, seconded by Charles Allan -- that the Fergus and Elora committees be requested by this meeting to convene a meet- ing of the Reeves amd Deputy Reeves of the North Ridingin Gwelph during the next sitting of the county council ; and that. the reeves so assembled, in conjunction with the 7} Férous and Elora committees, be invited to determine the terms of a charter for the pro- posed railway, to be submitted to Parliament at its next session.

Jeet Yebsse From the the Leader: 4 'Whe' annual reports of the Chief Superin- tendents of Education for Upper and Lower Canada respectively, for the year 1862, have been printed and distributed. We find that in Upper @anada, in 1862, the number of school sections was 4,261-- an inerease on the previous year of 107. The number of Common Schools reported as open was 4,104--an increase of 85. The num- ber of Free schools was 3,111--an increase of 208. More than three-fourths of the whole Common Schools of Upper Canada are now free by the voluntary action of the rate-payers in their separate school sections. The number of teachers employed in the schools was 4,406--an inerease of 70... Of these 3,115 were male, and 1,291 female teachers. The whole numberof pupils at- tending the schools was 343,733--an 'in- erease of 13,815. Of these 185,441, were boys, and 158,292 girls. In Lower Canada, the number of elemen- tary schools was 2995, and the number of pupils 139,474. Elementory education in Lower Canada has made considerable pro- gress in recent years, but a comparison of these figures with the school attendanee in Upper Canada, shows that there is still room for improvement. The number of pupils attending the public elementary schools in Upper Canada in 18@2, was 1 in 4 of the population shown by the, censusof 1861, while in Lower Canada the:proportion was lin 8. Allowing foran inerease of pop- ulation since the census, we should probably be not far from the mark insaying that the attendance at the public elementary schools in 1862, was about 22 per cent of the whole population in Upper Canada, and about 11 per cent in Lower Canada. In other words, if we took two districts in Upper, Canada and Lower Canada respectively, each con- taining 1,000 inhabitants; old and young, we might expect to find 220 children attend- ing the elementary schools in the Upper Canada district and 110 attending the Hle- mentary Schools'in the Lower 'Canada 'dis- trict of equal population. The total receipts for Comnion School purposes in' Upper Canada; in 1862° were $1,396,123--an increase of $14,843. Ex- cluding balances from 1861, the proper re- ceipts of the year amounted to' $1,249,087, consisting of the following items :--Legisla- tive grant, $167,970 ; municipal assessment, $274,471, a decrease of $3,613; Trustees' assessment,' $620,268, aii itferease of $32,- 970: rate-bills imposed where the schools were not free, $73,850, a decrease of $9,022 ; Clergy 'Reserve Fund and other' sources, $112,524, a decrease of $17,851. The total expenditure for Common School purposes was $1 231,993, an increase of $40,575. The teachers' salaries $959,776, an increase - of $41,663. Maps, apparatus, prizes and libraries, $22,306. School' sites and build- items were :--For ings, $114,719. Rents and repairs, $37,- 960. School' books, stationary, fuel, &e., $97,219. In Lower Canada, the receipts for com- mon School purposes in 1862 were $655,- 615 consisting of the following items :-- Legislative grant, $112,886. or voluntary contributions to equal amount of grant, $110,996. Additionalfassessment, $134,033.'° Monthly fees, $281,930. . As- sessment for erection or repairs of school houses, $15,799. The difference in the modes of providing the funds necessary for education in Upper and in Lower Canada Lower Assessment respectively is very marked. In Canada the total amount raised by assess- ment is considerably less than the amount collected in 'the shape of fees from pupils ; while in Upper Canada the amount raised by assess- ment is twelve times the amount received in the shape of fees or rates imposed upon pupils. In Upper Canada the lowest salary paid to a male teacher in a country was $80--in a city $200. The highest salary paid to a male teacher in a county was $600--in a town $900--and in a city $1,300. The average salary in the counties was $263; in towns $£71; and in cities $577. "The average salary of female teachers was $170 in counties, $242 in towns, and $229 in cities. In the Lower Canada report, the statement with respect to'salaries does ngt distinguish the teachers of the Common Schools from those of acadamiés, colleges, &c. The total niiuber of male teachers in all those institu- tions was 1292; and of female teachers; 3083. Only 38 male teachers received salaries ex- ceeding $400. Of the female teachers only 78 recéived salaries' exceeding $200; and only 3 received salaries excoeding $400. The number-of Grammar Schools in Up- per Canada in 1862 was 92--an increase of 6. The number of pupils was 4,- 982 -- an inerease .of,,., 216... The number of new pupils admitted :dur- ing the year was 1860. The number. of pupils.admitted by scholarships from Com- mon Schools was.119..; From. the: table showing the number: of: pupils studying yarious.subjects, it) appears there was a de- crease of 257 in the number studying Latin, a decrease of 44 in the) number studying Greek, a decredse of 25 in those~ studying vocal music, and "an increase' 'in' the dif ferent: branches of English, of French, "in mathematics, and in all other departments. The receipts for Grammar School purposes from all'sources in 1862 were $90,090--an increase of $4,920. The receipts were divided thus:--From Legislative grant and fund, $39,771. From municipal grants, $16,774. From fees of pupils, $20,220. From balance of preceeding year and other sources, $13,324. 'The number of students admitted to Normal Schoool, to be trained to teach the subjects of a Common School education, during the first session of 1862, was 148, of whom 82 had been teachers. The number admitted the second session was 135, of whom 68 had been teachers. The teachers training in the Normal School expend some time each week in the two Model Schools connected with it--one for boys and one for girls, each being limited to.150 pupils, who pay a weekly fee of 25 cts. each, The number of Colleges reported i in Up- per Canada is 13, containing 1,373 students, with an income. from public sources of $94,- 800, and from fees, of $33,750. The num- ber of "private schools "and acadamies re- ported was 342,' having 481 -- teachers, 7, Siseg eight: and an income from fees of $56,2 In mia Canada the claims of what is called superior education receive much greater attention than in Upper Canada in comparison with the amount of care be- stowed upon Common. School education. The Legislative grant for superior education in Lower Canada for 1862, was $67, 989. The total expenditure of Bia institutions in 1862 was $586,055. from all sources was $552,346.

Schools © 279° in number, with an' attendance of 18,279, and the Model Schools of the © Normal Schools. which are four in' iumber, with an attend- ance of 712; the total number of Primary Schools in Lower Canada in 1862 was 3,278, with an attendance of 158,465, an in_ erease of 7,193 as compared with 1861. The total number of educational institutions in Lower Canada, in 1862, was 3,501; the number of teachers 4,427, and the number of pupils 188,635. In Upper Canada, the. total number of educational institutions reported was 4,554 --an increase over 1861 of 95--and the total number of pupils attending them, 357,- 572--an increase of 13,454. The total amount reported as expended during the year, in Upper Canada; for educational pur- poses, was $1,535,239--an increase of $59,- 132. The number of Roman Catholic Seperate Schoo!s reported in Upper Canada in 1862 was 109--precisely the same as the number in the preceding year. The amount ap- portioned to them from the legislative school grant was $7,883. The amount provided from local sources was $23,494, an increase of 221. The number of pupils in the Sep- arate Schools was 14,700--increase 1,069. There was areported decrease in the attend- ance of 1861 of 1,077. . The increased. at- tendance of 1862 brings up the number to within eight of the attendance of 1860. In Lower Canada,.the, number of dissentient schools. was 5,736 pupils. Perpetual Motion. We had an opportunity of seeing this wonderful machine, invented by Mr. Leach, of Troy, and which has excited no little wonder and astonishment in those who haye examined and seen itin operation. . Itis a brass wheel, seyen inches in diameter, to the rim of which are' attached at equal' distances twelye arms. These arms each forn a right angle, the sides being an inch anda half in length, and are fastened to the side of the Their revenue, 165, with an attendance of a EE rim, near the edge, by.pins; so that the arms turn freely on their. own pivots independent of the motion of the wheel. At one end 'of each arm is.a. brass ball: weighing from -one to two ounces... The arms are all connected together by cords; three to each,in a very ingenious manner, so that as each ball in descending swings over on its pivot, it draws the ball which is about to,commence. its.,as- cent, close to the rim of the wheel, thus.secu- ring all the ascending: balls a position about three eigths of an inch nearer' the centre' of the wheel, than the descending -- balls, When set in motion, it moyes very slowly, in- creasing in speed for three or four reyolu- tions, when it runs steadily 58 to 60. revolu- tions in a minute. The motive power "is very slight, barely sufficient to turn' a wey small wheel by a cord running from the axle of the principal wheel. This machine has been examined by a great many persons, among them some of the best mechanics in the State, and however: positive they had been that a perpetual motion_was an impos. sibility, they all give in and admit that the thing has been accomplished, science and philosophy to the contrary notwithstanding. The inventor is a fair specimen of a Yankee mechanic, with a common school education, and a good mathematical head. He does not appear to appreciate the magnitude of the discovery which he has apparently made. He thinks it ought to realize him about 310,000, which appears to be the extent of his ambition in. the way of property-. He has, we understand, applied for a patent, but was advised by the party who was re- quested to bring it to the notice of the pa- tent office, to turn his attention' to some other subject, least he should become insane, Whatever may be its merits as a motive power, we have little doubt that some Bar- num will get it into his hands, and make a splendid fortune from its exhibition, if from no other source. He has already had nn- merous offers from different States, at round prices.--Sherbrooke Gazette, The American Elections. The recent elections for Goyernor.in Ohio, Towa,,; and, Pennslyvania, haye all. proved fayorable. to. the Administration... In Qhio, John Brough was elected over Vallandigham by-the largest majority. ever given in a» seri- ously contested cleetion in that, State. In Pennsylvania, Andrew ©. Curtin's majority over that of Woodward, the democratic can- didate, was about' 20,000 ; whereas last year it was less than'4,000. "In Iowa, where the result was at one time regarded somewhat doubtful, the majority far exceeds what the most sanguine supporters of the Government anticipated. So far all the State elections held this fall have resulted in favor of the Government, showing that their policy meets the approval of the great bulk of the people, even in States hitherto rezarded democratic, The democrats have been looking forward to the next Presidental election with con- siderable hope, and have been industriously laboring. to pave the way for the defeat of the Republicans by declaiming against the management of the war; but if the State elections held this fall may be taken as..an index, there is little hope for. them. The Northern Army. The administration has called successively for 75,000 men; for 500,000 men to end the war early by a. single overpowering effort ; for 300,000 men to save Washington and repel the invading Confederates ; for 300,000 men again to serve nine months and end the war within that trme beyond all peradventure ; for 300,000 men still again to replace the nine months men who were mustered out with Washington again men- aced and the North again invaded ; and now the president calls for still another 300,000 men, to be allowed for, he tells us, ona future draft! . Unless the war makes a more rapid progress in proportion to the colossal seale of our expenditures, our resources' will | give out before the Confederates: give: up. + We shall have lost the knife and have flung the handle after it... Our only security against. losing not only the union but the enormous expenditure of blood and treasure we aré making to recover it, is in the election of a new administration which will prosecute the war with more skill and success not * re- quiring the country to pay a pound for a ten-penny loaf, nor taxing the poor mian's comforts to enrich a " shoddy"' aristocracy. --wWN.
