Elsewhere will be found a correspondence
between Fernando Wood and President Lin.
coin In the subject of Peace, which Mr.. Wood
now thinks proper to make public, doubtless in
reply to the assertion of the President in his
letter to the Springfield Convention, that no
propositions for peace had been made to him
by the rebel authorities.
Mr.. Wood will make nothing by his motion,
as the whole of the so loudly Wanted "peace
propositions" on the part of the rebel leaders
turns out to be mere allegation by Wood that
he is "advised by an authority he deemed to be
well informed as well As reliable and truthful ~

eral Government would cease hostilties!
And On such representations as these 1t was
anticipated tina ouI Government would grant
the rebels an armistice, affording them oppor.
tunity for recuperation and consolidation! The
President certainly, has no reason to regret the
publication OF the correspondence, as every line
of his letter to Mr.. Wood is characterized by a
manly sincerity OF purpose and a logic of good
sense, that shows ike pure gold in contrast with
the unpatriotic sophistries Of his correspondent.
