Correspondence OF the Evening Post.l
BALTIMORE, Nov. 81.

lI0rresPohaence OF lae Evening Fost-l
BALTIMORE, Nov. 81.
Two or three evenings ago, one OF our
most ardent Union citizens, happening to
approach the Office counter Of one Of our
principal hotels to light his cigar, was
honestly betrayed into rather an unusual
exhibition, even for his impulsive nature,
of his loyal feelings There was a wiry
figure of biped standing near, discus
slug in loud and shrill tones the merits Of
the war against the rebellion. 81 his
war;" said he sis not to be ended by the
sword; it must be ended only by the
pen ~ Our ardent Unionist on hearing
this heretieal sentiment, found himself
boiling over, and instantly broke out with
ANY man who holds such an opinion
is traitor Y "Who are you sir, that
calls me traitor 2" Ny name is
there's my card"
The strangsr was taken all aback. The
visitors in the hall crowded round the
| eellequists. Il am from New Hamp
shire, SIR" al last responded the author
OF the heretical sentiment. "That fully
accounts for your holding such an opin.
ion. You are a northern rebel, sir !"-
II guess have right to my opinion,
sir. have not r. .You have not-here
sir. You may talk and vote treason in
the North but you can't do it here. sir
with impunity. do not wish to get in
to personal conflict with any such mar
as you, sir; but if you will 60 down towr
with me to the front Of the Clipper Office
right now, and talk aloud about putting
down this Internal Shareholders and SLAVE
sympa,hizing rebellion by the pen instead
Of by the sword, you will be taught il
the twinkling of an eye the difference be
tween your Northern treason and Balti
more loyalty" "Why, what would the.
do to me 7" "They would give you sucl
q .hrashing as would more than compen
safe for the assassination Of the Massa

PEACE PROPOSITION.

A few days ago the New York Tribune
published an article stating that it had
information that propositions and terms
of peace we're being made and discussed
between the sympathizing Democrats of
New York and the traitors ut Richmond.
This was denounced by the Democratic
press AS foul libel, reckless sensational
item unworthy of a moments thought.
But it seems now that the state
ment was substantially true. Fernando
Wood in q speech delivered in New
York the other night. stated that his
friend had propositions from prominent
rebels, looking to reconstruction Of the
Union:
Mr.. Wood said he had received inform
alton, and had communicated it to Gov
eminent, that under certain circumstances
the South were ready to return, ay, from
leading statesmen of the South. Men of
position and influence in the Southern
Contedcracy had expressed desire TO re-
turn, uAdci Democrats rule, the past
to be forgotten, TT Z P' HLic DlDr ON BOTH
SIDES TO DG PROVIDED FOR; and they
were willing to let by-gones be by cones,
II the North would, and the Union once
again 10 be restored.
One might infer from this phraseology
that one of the conditions of peace was tc
be the removal of Mr.. Lincoln from thu
Presidential Chair, and the substitution o
jeff. Davis in his stead. But possibl
some other form of Democratic rule ma
have been in the mind Of the speaker, VIII
did not really profess to give the exac
terms of the peace proposition.
These terms seem to be more fully s.
forth by The correspondent of the sunda
Mercury, in his dispatch of Ssturda
night, as follows:
at Is currently reported here tn
Peace overtures have been made by ii
Rebel Government to ours, as they ieare
The shock of the Immense army we hay
ln the heid, about TO move upon thei
from every quarter. They also fear til
Emancipation Proclamation. The tern
OF peace are said to be:
/. The old Union and the old Const
tuition
2. Tie Crihenden Compromise.
s. The assumption Of the Sopthe,
Debt. And. y
4. The ordering of the French out
Mexico, and The annexation of that con
try for nine Stare States"
Thus it is proven that the statement
the Tribune was no sensational Roorbac
but simply truth.
II such peace propositions have be,
limited TO the Government, the President
message must be taken as very fall a,
proper response.
