The Peace Conference.

A late letter from Washington, to the North
American, says:
The events and prospects of the past day or
two leave little hope that the Peace Convention
will be able to heal the breach that exists in
the nation There is not a majority in that
body favorable to compromise that will NEE
the wants of the ease-and even if there were.
the contemporaries Republicans in Congress
are strong enough to defeat any project that
may be presented. The conference will un.
dOubtedly break up about the Goth, leaving the
responsibility with Congress and the Republ.
can Administration.
The Virginia Commissioners express great
fears of their State when it is finally ascertained
that the efforts of the conference have failed
Indeed, it is not at all unlikely that the State,
in that event, will cast her fortunes with The
southern confederacy.
The force bill will meet with great opposi
ton, but it is thought that it will eventually
pass.

The Easton Md, Gazette, as we'll as the
SnOwhll Shield complain that the secession
lists in their respective localities are withdraw
ing their patronage as subscribers and Gdver-
tisers, simply because they are patriots, uiz :
lovers of their country-and stand by and de-
fend the Union and the Constitution, and the
stars and stripes, that have won for US unknown
liberty and the respect of the civilized world.
This is the head and front of their offending
they are for the Union. Our contemporaries
are not the only ones who have such things to
contend with. Every community has just such
petty tyrants, who, when they subscribe to q

legitimate purchase of the Editor for 81. so OF

Letters from Fort Sumter received at Wash
ington from Captain Doubleday, one of the
officers in command, report that the South
Carolnans have erected an impregnabie bat
terry on Cummings Point of railroad iron, and
that terrible fight can be made from that point.
The strength of that position as it has Low
been made, and standing, as it does five Fights
of a mile from Fort Sumter, will enable the
South Carollnians TO do no great mischief. The
work on Fort Moultrie has also been pushed
forward rapidly, and its strength Is nsw such
as will withstand the guns Of Fort Sumter sue
cessfully.
Great preparations were going on among the
CarolinIans and very day gave them more GER
tainty of succes when the attack on Fert Sum-
ter is made. The troops st Fort Sumter con-
tinue in good health and spirits, although very
much annoyed by the South Carolina author-
ties.
The Cambridge, Md, InteUig encer in COM
menting on a speech recently deliverd in Con
gress, justly says:

slavery in all our southern territory is right.
But to contend for its establishment in terrific

are wise, we will never acquire, is no part OF
the duty of the friends Of the South. 1t 10 uu

A report is in circulation that Alfred w.
Archer, basket maker, late of Milford, formerly
of this town, was recently hung in Westmore
land CO., Virginia, where he had gone a few
weeks since to clerk for man named Massey,
at place called Royal Oak. He is represent
ed in the Del. Inquirer as an orderly, quiet
man, SO much SO that his friends did not know
what his party predictions were, and adds
Shortly after his removal there letter was
placed in the post Office at Milford addressed
to him. The postmaster took this letter and
placed slip of paper upon the outside of it, to
this effect I" Look out for him he is an Aboll.

OF the postmaster in Virginia alone. 1t did its
work, The postmaster communicated the fact
to men of his kidney, that live abolitonist
