~ What kind Of ''peace' the rebels
want. and what they think Of .'Conven-
ton Of the States" may b learned from
the following extract from the Richmond
Dispatch Of August 3lst. It shows that
their idea Of an ssarmistice'' implies q
withdrawal Of all our forces from rebel
soil and waters. and an open acknowledge
ment Of Confederate independence and
sovereignty. These being granted, then
they are willing to treat Of ''peAce." The
two planks Of the Chicago Conversation an
on "Armistice'' or, % II u phrased, ! ICES.
sation Of hostilitiee'' 'svstA a vscsp 70 :
Convention Of all the States.' But the
platform does not Inform rs what Is to b
done In case the rebels, after the cessation
Of hostili6es, refuse to participate in the
Convention. That matter, the most i'm
poFtant ofall, Is left in utter dark ness bv
the Chicago peace-mongers.s Blu, the reb-
els do not leave Us in doubt as TO their
meaning. Granted an armistice, AS thew
Econstrue it, and independence Is already
theirs. Once independent, having wha,
they revoltsd to obtain, wha. motive ID
likely to induce them to return into the
Union. Cease ''hostilities," and what be-
comes Of the Convention" which the
peace nongers have in "yiew?"

JOHN BROUGH.
Reformation of VIM. Wtrt.-A True
.- Incident in his History.

The distinguished William Writ, within
six or seven months after his first marriage,
became addicted to intemperance, the effect
Of which operated strongly on the mind and
health Of his wife, and in few months more
she was numbered with the dead. Her
death led him to leave the country where
he resided, and 20 to Richmond, where he
soon rose to distinction. But his habits
hung about him, and occasionally he was
found with jolly, frolicsome spirits of BAG
chanalan revery. His true friends expos
tulated with him to convince him of the in
jury he was doing to himself. But he still
persisted. His practice began to fall off,
and many looked on him, as on the sure
road to ruin. lie was advised to get mar
ried with view Of correcting his habits
This he consented to do, if the right person
offered. He accordingly paid his addresses
to Miss Gamble After some months at
:ontion he asked her hand in marriage
! She replied:
"Mr. Writ, have been we'll aware Of
your intentions for some time back, and
should have given you to understand that
your visits and attentions were not accepta-
BILE, had | not rociprocated the affection
which you eyinced towards me- But can
not yield my assent until you make me n
pledge never to taste, touch or handle any
intoxicating drinks" .,...
This reply to Writ was as unexpected as
novel, His reply was, that he regarded
that proposition as q bar to all further con.
sderation Of the subject, and he left her,
Her course towards him was the same as
eyer-his, resentment and neglect.
In the course of a few weeks, he went
again and solicited her hand But her re-
ply was that her mind was made up. He
became indignant, and regarded the terms
she proposed as insulting to his honor, and
vowed it should be the last meeting they
shoul. ever have. lie took to drinking
worse and worse, and seemed to run head
long to ruin. E
One day, while lying in the outskirts Of
the city, near little grocery or crop shop
drunk, young lady whom il is not neces
sary to name, was passing by that way tC
= her home, not far off, and beheld him with
his face upward to the rays of the scorchiue
sun. She took her handkerchief, with hel
: own name marked upon it, and placed il
over his face. After he had remained il
that way for some hours he was awakened
and his thirst being SO great, he went into
f the little grocery and grog shop to get {
drink, when he discovered the handker
