The rebels have made two propositions OF
peace 20 the Administrations. One contsm-
plates ths complete recognition Of the South.
ern Confederacy, with treaty Of commerce
and friendship, md perhaps an annual
subsidy Of So 200, 900 for giving them protec-
lection against foreign and domestic enc
mics. The other, which IL stil under con.
alteration, consents TO q suspension OF hos
tilities, a laying down Of arms, and the ex
tension Of the line Of So deg 30 min. to the
Pacific.

ing all lines Of transportation for the rebels

Offensive movements on the part OF the

feat. Thcy now propose 30 act entirely on
