The Republicanlleaders here are notonly full
of it, but they insist that without 1t they

they will thus get the credit of making an

Correspondence Of the N. Y. Herald.l
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s, 1854.
THE ARMIsTIcE QUESTION AND THE REPUB-
LICAN LEADERS.
The armistice question is almost the only
topic in Washington. 1t is known posi-
lively that prominent republican party
managers regard it as vitality important
that Mr.. Lincoln should Immediately take
steps to open negotiations In this respect.
* conference was held few days ago Of
New England leaders, in which 1t was con-
cluded that the only safety of the admins
tration party, uader existing circumstances,
is in proposing negotiations for q termina-
tion Of the war. These necessarily involve
an armistice, which will allow postpone
ment Of the draft until after the election,
and will also permit soldiers to be sent
home TO vote. Senator Wilson, of ldassa-
chusetts, has paid visit to Washington TO
represent to the President the opinion of
the Republicans of New England, that this
necessity exists. Mr.. Fessenden, the new
Secretary of the Treasury, who is cogni-
zant of the movement, Is understood to have
declared that IL something of this kind is not
done promptly, he will be compelled to re-
tire from the Cabinet. ,'.,-l
The President Is warmly In favor Of the
experiment. He thinks that, "if 1t can do
no good It will do no harm to try 1t on" 1t
is the last card to be played To. confuse the

The Chicago Convention.

The Chicago Times, in an article upon the
approaching convention, says:
It will be the authoritative expositor Of
the principles of the Democratic party,
and the only power which can legitimately
declare the means by which these princi-
pies shall be carried into effect. Every
member of the party will be bound by its
action. After it shall have indicated the
course of the party, there can be no such
thing as a War Democrat or Peace Demo-
crat. There can be only Democrats with a
single duty to perform-to, support the ac-
found any claiming to be Democrats who
refuse to perform this duty, they will be
traitors to their party, working for its over
throw by endeavoring to create dissension
in its ranks. We do not believe any such
will be found. I'D "a

NEW TESTIMONIALS.
From the Home Journal, June 4th.l ]


In every business or profession, indeed IN every
department Of science skill, there is always some
acknowledged htad-some one who stands out in
bold relief among his fellows, as a rt Of leader.
In tho study and treatment Of deafness and catarrh
as special diseases, DIR. Il. b. LIGHTHILL, Of this
city, occupies Just the position above described;
is now reaping the reward Of his industry. The
editorial columns Of the Tribune Of q recent date,
bear witness TO the Doctors success in this depart
ment of medicine. We quote the paragraph:
"CURE OF DEAF MUTE-LoUIs LoEwINsTEIN,

dumb. For nearly ten years he was a mute. unable
to hear the Oudest voice, or to articuate word
About one year ago he was placed by his parents in
the hands of DIR. LIGHTHILL, who has so far suc-
ceeded in restoring to him his lost powers of hear
who speak to him distinctly and deliberately. Dur
ing the past four or five months he has been under
the tuition of MIR. BENNEcKE, and has made consid-
cradle progress in reading and arithmetic"
Having been supplied with the lads address. we
further Investigated the matter, and discovered
that. previous to calling on DR.. LIGHTHILL, the
youths was considered hopeless, and he was for
two years an inmate Of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
lum. The Rev., JOHN NoTT, ID D., Professor in
Union College, Schenectady, in published letter,
tenders his gratitude TO Dr. LIGHTHILL for treating
successfully his case of deafness Rev. FRED. s.

DR.. LlGHTHILL possesses other testimonials and
tributes to his talent from some of our weathiest
and most prominent and respected citizens, which
may be seen on application. 1t would be difficult

Railroads.
The Democratic State Central Committee
succeeded in making arrangements with
the Columbus and indianapolis Railway
Line, for half-fare round trip tickets to
the Chicago Convention-good to return
on until the 10th of September. See Off
cial announcement.
Similar arrangements have been made at
Cincinnati and Dayton, with the Cincinnati

Cincinnati and Chicago Air Line.
Inaccordance with rule hitherto adopted
by the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chi
cago Railway Company, that road had to
decline making the half-fare arrangement
las the State Central Committee has Just
been informed by telegraph from Pitts
burgh. We understand, however, that this
Railway has arranged with points along its
line, TO sell round trip tickets at greatly re-
duced rates, where given number Of per-

The poor old Cincinnati Gazette, still
malignant in its dotage, comes tottering
along under another heavy load of sorrow
in the shape OF "Horrible Copperhead
Plot-Civil War in Indiana Threatened
Startling Disclosures" When we come to
examine this nightmare heralded by so
many startling headlines, we find that it has
no other foundation than meeting Of the
Indiana Democratic State Central Commit
tee, to transact ordinary business connected
with the campaign now progressing in that
State. The ineffable stupidity of The Ga
sette in parading such miserable bosh before
itsreaders as sensation news is astonishing
and pitiful. The effect ofthe sensation news
of the poor old Gazette is entirelyiexhausted
upon that sheet alone, and is similar to the
effect of the explosion upon a feeble old
lady who has by mistake taken Chinese
fire-cracker instead of wisp of paper to
light her lamp.
