PEACE PRoposlTIoN. Boston TraI
u.lsr a Republican paper, has the following
.n.;bls remarks in recent issue: III, as
:. .,ated in the telegram to the Herald,
Sov Vance, of North Carolina, is CO operat'
9th other Southern Governors for a
1s.oral Convention of all the States, such
snronosition would no doubt be accepted by
.hp Federal Government. At any time since
,ho hattie of Bull Run, movement like this
'nsda BY half a dozen Influential statesmen
n;,ber Of the South or the North, would
have stopped this bloody revolution. To
,uch convention the final settlement must
bs admitted, however long the war may
Continue and it might as aOel be done now
,rh;le the armies rest in their present positions,
~. after more blood and fruitless battles.-
W. have no doubt that at this time such a
convention would be able to present propo'
.;tions which would be ratified by an over
wbelming majority of the people of every
Northern and Southern State. There would
be maIcontents in both sections Of the Union,
but they would be comparatively few in
numbers, and utterly powerless."
Tn the Diary of Mary Countess Cooper,
LADY of the Bed-chamber to the Princess
Of Wales, l7l4-2O, just published, we meet
with good story ofthe wife of a Mr.. Colling
wood who was hanged at Liverpool on the
.unnression Of the rebellion. Mrs. Colling-
wood wrote to friend in town to try to get
her husbands life granted to her, The
friends answer was as follows:
~ think you are mad when you talk of
nnnit l.
YOU will have $500 year jointure if he's
hanged, and that you won't have groat if
he's saved? Consider and let me have your
answer for shall do nothing in it till then"
The answer did not come time enough,
and 80 he WAS hanged.
GOOD ADvIcE.-Ii the body is tired rest;
if The brain is tired, sleep. If the bowels
are loose, lie down in warm bed and re
main there, and eat nothing till you are
we'll. If an action Of the bowels does not
occur at the usual hour, eat not an atom till
they do act, at least for thirty six hours;
meanwhile drink largely of cold water or
warm teas, exercise in Il g open air to the
extent OF a gentle perspiratlon, and keep
this up until things are righted; this one
suggestion, if practsed, would save myrads
of lives every year, both in the city and
country. The best medicines in the world
are warmth, abstinence and repose.
