Vicksburg is all right, and Klrby Smitn has possession of Million's Bead. . ; p PEACE CONVENTION AT NEW YOB K. 8PEECH OF FERNANDO WOOD. ; ? Fellow Citizens : We have fallen upon evil times. Werhave lived too long, if we have out lived our country ; for, disguise it as we may, tbe .'American Union dab been severed, aud perhaps forever, and candar compels 'the admission that oar once proud Republic has fallen from its exalt' ed height. It is now prostrate, decried, insulted, and without a second rate position abroad ; rent asunder by a fearful civil war at home; ruined by despotic power on principles of partizan hate ; and npon theories of Government utterly antagonistic to those upon which oar institutions Were found- ;ed ; we stand before the world an object of won jder, contempt and ridicule. These facts are not referred to in a spirit 'of reproach. Tbut antici pate the record of history, and' shall leave to oth-f era to fix the responsibility. I reproach none. It is not difficult to charge error or. wrong; doing after the accomplishment of result.. All of us can see causes for misfortune that have occurred better than we can provide a preventive. 'It is human to err, it is divine to forgive ; and, while it is easy to commit error ourselves, it is difficult to everldok it in others. With these sentiments I am-disposed to alley ate the national woes rather than indulge criticism upon the causes. I would do something to extricate the country from its ter rible calamities. The effort, however feeble, is ennobling. Even the attempt,, if made in 'good faith, is worthy of the highest intellect and must alleviate patriotism. I regret that of the many of thie ' character of which America has boasted, who have honored us in the several departments of human' progress, none have arisen at this time for this blessed mis si on. Heretofore, in every age, great national ex igencies haye produced the man for the occasion. As the Almighty "tempers the wind to the shorn lomb," so has He, heretofore, provided the instru ment by which great national results have been accomplished for the advantage of humanity. As yet, He has not vouhafed this favor to us. No man equal to this crisis has -appeared neither in the field nor in the Cabinet, nor in the many. ele vated spheres of private life, has the man present ed himself with the brain, the heart and the cour age jfi seize and work out the great political prob lem now to be solved in our case, and to utter ef ficiently the truths of reason with the force and power equal to tbe pending crises. Those who have the intellectual ability have lacked the nerve', and those with the nerve have lac&ed the ability. But there is another wonder: That in this civil ized population of over thirty millions North aid Soqth abounding with benevelence, purity, cultivation and enlightened Christianity, none are found to raise the banner of peace. Among the thousands of loity spires which rear their tower ing turrets 6 a benignant God, but one that I know of covers a pulpit devoted to tbe true prin ciples of Christ, and proclaims "peace on earth." Its that of Mr. Pratt, a preacher of Staten Is land. (Cheers for Pratt.) (A voice, "Van Dyke, of Brooklyn.") As if the most damnable crimes on record of history, ancient and modern, consti tute religion, forgetting that war is the child of Satan, and that peace is of God, the emanation of the JJivine spirit. That man who haa the intellectual power and ability to stay this current has not had the nerve tq make Che effort, and when the man having the nerve has attempted, he has lacked the power and influence to accomplish ft. In my perto;D, with out pretending to hold any power of iniiueDCP, af ter studying and contemplating the theory of our Government, with a full appreciation of tbeisue, I alone and single handed, will throw myself into this contest, let it be to my country or myself aa it may be: Now, my friends, I am for peace as the only possible bop? of the restoration of the American Union. (Cheers and applause ) lam fOr peace, because war has failed. (Cries "That's so. Cheers.) And it haa been read in abetter to night from a distinguished gentleman lately a candidate for Governor of Connectlcut-r(cheere) -"you cannot cement two antagonistic elements by blood." ThBrefore, I am against this war, in the first place, because, under the theory of our Government, there is no power to coerce delinv quent States. By careful reading of the debates in vongreas, ounng the lime of the formation of the Federal Government, and of tbe debates in the general State Conventions, I believe there is no man that dare contend that the most distant authorization of the military war power against the State can be found. On the contrary, when an effort wee made to incorporate such a power, it was denied by Jefferson, Hamilton, Roger Sherman, and all the great minds, including John Adams, of Massachusetts. They denied the pow er, and they finally declared to .the world, on that occasion, il there was any coercive power at all in the Constitution, it was legal and not milita- Therefore, my friends, if there be ho military war power in the Constitution, it is necessarily an unconstitutional ar, and all the instruments and results of the war. All these various attacks upon the rights of the people, upon the rights of the press, upon property, upon life, are all the ne cessary results of the first fatal mistake of the assault when there was no. power in the Federal Government to perpetrate it. (Cheers.) For i cannot, for- my life, understand how. those mem bers of the -Democratic party can consistently as sail tbe acts of this Administration pretended to .be necessary for tbe prosecution of the war. I cannot for my life understand how those men, who call thernselvea war Democrats, can con sistently assail the Administration in carrying out what the Administration ball AVAR tti Ha ti annct avi for the war. The President of tha Unitd Sr.tM nepesrv is there under the Constitution according to the' provisioos of the Constitution ; we cannot deny that. Ie is clothed with the executive powers controlling the military, and if, in his judgment, responsible to the people, it is necessary in the vigorous prosecution of the war, to commit these act of which somo men complain, I gay that men who favor the war, vy ho are in favor of its pro secution, that it m due to the administration that they, at least, shall not take exception to what the Administration deems to be necessary in its pro secution. ("That's so.") 1 Now, gentlemen, I am opposed to the war, be- cauje it never ougni to nave been commenced. An amicable adjustment ceiild havo been made in the peace conference, which -wa3 voted down and rejected. 1 am prepared to say that until but re cently I know 'the fact that.an . amicable adjust ment, securing the constitutional rights of the South, was within the power of the Administra tion. Therefore, I am opposed to the war, not 6nly because it never should have been commenced, but because it couhl have been .amicably adjusted and determined. Again, I am opposed to this war becausa it has been diverted from its original purpose. Instead of a war for Ae Uni-n it ha become a war for - the total sequestration and abolition of State sovereignty. It is for the abo lition of slavery, and tha abandonment of State and territorial limits. It has beeji used as a pre text for the-basest partisan purposes of plunder and! political power. (Cheers.) And when'. the American people committed themselves lo. it two years ago, vrhen in a stala of wild frenzied excite ment, our men ruhed; into, the war, they little thought they were lo be made instrument. of despotic power, that they were to become ineor-. porated in a great army to be used for tjramical and unconstitutional purposes,, deprived of their rights . a citizens, deprived, of .toe comforts of home, deprived of tbe rights to exercise any poli tical power; they little thoiight to becamo ma-i chines to be usod by oar tyrant masters at me capita!. (Cheers.) :,. ; And, m friends, I am opposed to the war be-e cause it u rearinz utfin this country a new. ele ment in the government of the country. - Th military powe has keen introduced, and I have read history in Vain if J do not know that in every country, and in every age, where the military power, arrant, despotic and tyrannical, -has been permitted to subjugate the civil power and over ride tha courts, at every time and m every age, that power, has not only destroyed the- principles ot-the people tor ajim, but it naa Decora nxea, and afterwards it has been succeedsd by the rule of inheriting monarchies. Here the military power is afWgant,- proud and domineering. It commenced in Kentucky nearly a year ago by breaking up tbe Democratic Convention. It sut ce Jed har that in intimidating and overriding every civil eflprt to express the feeling of indig nation at their acts, and recently was overawtd by the people at tha ballot box in. Indiana, Penn eylvania, Ohio and Illinois; recently again we find it lay ing violent hands upon that noble tribune of the people, Mr, yJlaDdighm. ' of Ohio. (Cheers.) following that base acVwhfch.lt vir tually effected without. even a (Jecent recognition of the proclamation of martial law, il has within twenty-four hours suppressed noble Democratic paper, the Chicago Times, and throughout the West to-day the people stand trembling upon the precipice, hesitating whether to rise en masse and expel these military, satraps, or quietly submit to the grave of despotism which is ' being dug for them, aad this night the city of Chicago may be in flames. There has been assembled there to night one of the largest and most resolute gather ings of the people ever ia Obicago, in front of the Times office, protesting agains this military usurpation, against the rights of a free press. (Cheers.) If I know the character of the Westers people if I understand the character of the men at Chica go, they possess the spirit . of the men of New York, (loud cheers,) and I dare and defy the Ad ministration to tend to the city of New York their General Burnside, (hisses) and I here, in the name of this assembly, thousands and tens of thousands, inside and outside, request tbe Administration to give General Burnside this district for his com mand. (Tremendous cheers, with groans and hisses for. Burnside.) And if this conflict must f come, if the revolution must commence, I want the powers that be , to try their hands upon us (Uproarious cheers.) Fellow-citizens, I may haye uttered the language of treason. (Laughter. "Goon."- "No.") I certainly said more than the language uttered by our lamecteiand glorious friend, Vallandigham, who was struck down for it. (Cheers for Vallandigham). I may be the most glorious martyr upon the altar of my coun try. ('.' No.") ' I ask your attention and quiet for a moment till I relate you an anecdote of Gin. n Washington.,'. When a young man, be was, as we all know, a plantar upon the Potomac river. He had a large and fine plantation, and had a neighbor who ownd an adjoining plantation, with whom he had a dispute about the boundary line between the two. His neighbor was a tyrannical, despotic, resolute man. ("That's Abe.") He probably conceived that he w.is the owner of the disputed boundary, but Washington, honest, re solute, not dosirous of infringing on the rights of others, finallj believed that the title to the dis puted line whs in h-imsclf. One day he wus walking with his faithful servant by his side, at4 in thos tirars, my friends, it was tu practice to go over these large areas, comprising thousands of acres, with an armed servant. Suddenly he found himself right on the disputed boundary, and before him his enemy, the claimant. The claimant stood before him, hold ing a rifle in hi hand, and he says to Washing ton, " Sir, go' back ; don't you cross that line." Says Washington, calmly, " I will cross it." The enemy took hi rifle and cocked it. Says he, "Sir, if you cross that line I will kill you." Washington coolly turned to his servant and said, "John, do you hear -what that man says? John, I intend to cross that line," When ho laks aim you take aim, and John, when hefchoots me do you shoot him." (Laughter.) Now, my friendi, the application that I uiaku u this : when one ot your own follow citizen, be it the humble indi vidual before you, or any otherpne, shall be taken in the discharge of his right and in the mainte nance of bis own, do you strike din ire tyrant. (Loud applause and cheer?.) My friend, I am opposed to this war bLcauaa it is a failure. ("Tnat's so.' ) Even admitting its legality and constitu tionality, admitting that i-t ia really prosecuted for the purpose of Union, admitting that there has been none of thesa encroachments upon our rights, admitting that the Administration had done nothing btu what they were empowered to do, and what it was best 'for them to do I say it ia a failure, that we have undertaken what wo cannot perform. No revolted people that have' kept au Todependent Government for a twelve month have ever yet been subjugated, and no purely agricultural peoplo in the protection ot their domesiic rights have ever yet been subju gated since tha world wag founded. . -Even laying history asidr the historv of this two years' war shows that whilst we 'are brave and determined, whilst we have thrown our best spirit and energies, and an. unlimited amount of treasure into this, contest, whilst our men-have fought as men never fought before, yet we have only gained defeat, humiliating to our sectional pride, destructive" to all our material, interests, and annihilating to every spirit of liberty. Candor should compel usv to admit before the civilized world that we have Peen beaten and -cannot suc ceed in what we hav undertaken, and appealing to the Bame common Sense principle that you and 1 would appeal to in,,very affair of Ufa when we eeo we cannot sucbd, Jt is prudent and wise, honest and ennobling; to admit our failure, and that we must back down from our position. Now my friends, I coulcf gCoa (" Goon." Somebody in the audience beoaftie objectionable, and there were crie3 to "pu 6im out.") I could detain you here for anothee twelve months Lad I the physicaLand intellectual power to do it, to give you reasons why wd.hould deelare for peate and therefore let us alH'Mnite in this elorious enters- prise, let us save ou Country, even what is left of u, oeiore it is totar, destroyed and lost forever i "I I T i JlAl r ... uecis ; j-fsi, us o iare ior .peace, ana let us declare that the part ?

" " 'Dickens is busily engaged en his new novel, the title of which has not yet transpired He is. liv ing in Paris,, but occasionally visits Londoli, to give public readings from his wprk. Spirit Rapping is being outdone by the clever mechanical contrivance of a Mr, Dircks, who is giving aji tfaterom-eftt rjaliedjlb "poetre- Dra4 toa,-at the Polytechnic, Institute in. Lohdan. Two performances a day scarcely seem to satisfy the crowds wfco flock to wirnesaiv; for natural magic, although It has shown, the world, many wonders, has never before, it is said, produced any thing so striking. By Mr. Dirck's apparatus a solid representation of a human beiag is thrown into the centre of a stage, and is made to appear and disappear at will without the aid of any. visi ble agency.', While eesentialljTsolid and real, the image is surrounded by a faint ialo of light, just sufficient to give it a supernatural character. It can be cut through with a sword or a hatchet, or walked through by a spectator without being-demolished, or it ean be changed. in an ine taut for another imae. The counterfeit presentment of any person can be thrown on the stage by thW contrivance. Some of the papers suggest the in vention, to the playwrights asan improvement on the supernatural drama. . Banquo's spectre or the ghost in Hamlet mighbe represented with terri ble effect this way. Mentioning the theatre, reminds ore to notice the close of that trashy play "The American Cou sin" at the Haymarket, L-ndon, after a run of four hundred nights. The character of "Lord Dundreary," by Mr. Sothern, (the same who per sonated it originally at Laura l eeu's, New x ork,) gave the play this extraordinary popularity. Those who have seen the piece (it was performed in phar lesion about a year before, the wax) will remember that one peculiarity on the part of "Lord Dundreary" is a strong occasional stutter., So long and continuously has Mr. Sothern played tbe cha racter that his friends fear he will contract the same defect in his own speech. Accordingly, by tbe advice of physicians, he read3 aloud for au hour or two every day in his natural voice to pre serve that crgan from a misfortune to easily ac quired. Ilia said that Sothern ha made $100,000 by performing "Lord "Dundreary." The success of the underground street railroads in London has proved tbe development of a new company, which proposes to blow letters and par cels from one end of the metropolis to tbe other through tube4 by atmospheric pressure. Your pack'age is put in at one end, the air exhausted from the other end, and through it gots like light ning. . The company has been chartered under the name of tbe "Pneumatic Dispatch Compaay," and has commenced business by Hying down pipes between one ot the diairict post omces and the Northwestern Railway, through which mail bags are sent with great rapidity. 4- mile vtf space is traveled by this method in six auenda. It would not be extraordinary now if invention and enterprise went a Btep further, and fchpved full grown passengers through the country upon tbe same principle. A man thus could easily beat the telegraph, particularly as it is conducted at noma now-adays. INTERESTING LETTEil FROM EUROPE.
