WISE DENIBs.-Henry A. Wise Is out In
characteristic letter. saying that be is confined to
the bedside Of sickness, "nursing with one hand
and attending to numerous pressing domestic du-
ties with the other" ~ and thinks under the
circumstances he should not be charged with
recruiting raid armies to seize Westinghouse
should think not. Bat the ex Governor can't end
his letter for the life Of him without INDUCING
the modest boast that If he should incline to as
sumo the offensive, Gen. Winfield SCOTS laurels
must wilt. He says:
sScott Is but a martinez and commissary, but
his vanity, in his old age, stands up like hip
bones and withers Of an old horse, from viii h
the muscles have fallen away; and the I'd Lieu
tenant General asp:res TO rival the LIST Lieutenant
General in being canoniZed a. the second saviour
of bis country. He had better take care or I tcilI
take the Geld and take the feathers off his pea
put this in prnt to dspel the appreheusions of all
the grannies in the North, or to put to shame
those who would malign by Islander, one who
never engaged In secret pdr, but who would
clai,n our capital and our flag as belonging to
those who have kept the covenants Of the consti-
tuition, and not 10 those who have broken them;
and who will fight Gen. Scott himself to defend
them both"
What Mr. Wise means by this farfaronade is per-
haps best explained by the following paragraph
from his organ, the Richmond Enquirer, (ths
italics are that journal's,) published as late as
Tuesday last:
I" But we tell the people Of Washington at the
same time that their lives and property are placed
In manifest jeopardy by the intrfgues Of Scott,
Seward 4 Co. The city Of Washington, unoccu.
pied by military forces, would offer refuge of
safety. Bst so soon as the State of Vrgtnfa shall
take aetrs nrsaSETsS of resistance to black repub-

Fortunately, the Government authorities have
taken measures to concentrate U. 3. troops here
In numbers quite sufficient (about ,OOo) to meet
the gallant ex-Governor's threatened hundred
thousand "men in buckram." But least thi,
might not prove the case, il will be well for
some good Union man In Princess Anne to slip a
red feather under his Excellency's coat tail, that
he may, while INDUCING in his present at OF

proves, strut himself to death ere reaching the
Potomac at the head of his hypothetical host
Dan Rice amt Circumstance to the glorious ex.
Governor when the latter, donning cap and bells

occasions.

TIE PEAcE CoNeREss.-This body sat for a
short time only, yesterday, and will wait the re-
port OF the committee Of one from each State. to

The general impression appears to be that In
case Of the Committee falling to agree on any plan
OF compzomise that the Maryland deleg alton will
press on the Conference the proposition for call

whole question direct to the people.
The meetings have thus far been very baymo-
nious, and there is an evident desire not 10 dis.

didates to Convention, will, should she follow
the lead of Virginia, have favorable eject ON

Senators Collamsr, Wade and other RepubIi-
can leaders, say that they will vote to submit, the
proposition Of the Conference to a direct vot. a,

opinion that the Convention will recommend ,
