The regiment from this Congressional

remained in camp here several weeks, at
last accounts was at Cape Girardeau, in
the Southern part of Missouri. # left AL

in fine spirits and enjoying good health

they were in the vicinity of large rebel

Washington. July 9.
Propositions to suspend hostilities have
certainly been made by tie Richmond gov.
eminent, under flag Of truce. The con-
ditions are said to be surrender Of all the
government properly that has been taken
as preliminary to a settlement 1t was
much discussed in administration circles
and Indignantly rejected. The only terms
are to return TO unconditional allegiance,
after which a national convention is to be
called, and amendments made to the con-
stitution. The administration is opposed
to the Richmond proposition. The mission
is no doubt prompted by Union men Of the
border states, amobg whom Hon. Henry
May is prominent

Kansas Clty, MO, July y.
We are indebted to the Kansas Journal
for a copy of the Fort Scot, Democrat of the
18th inst. 1t contains an account Of battle
between the Missouri State troops (rebel),
under Gov jackson and Gen. Raines,
numbering, by their account, from 10000
to l3, 900, and the u. s. forces, under Col.
Sigei, Numbering 1900 in ell.
Our correspondent says that, on We1nes-
day, the Sd inst, the State troops left
RUPEES Point, and moved south to Mnrry's,
six miles. Friday morning, at O'Clock,
they broke up camp and marched south in
the direction Of Carthage, the county seat
Of Jasper county. At Dry Fork, seven
miles north of Cartilage, they were
met by Col. Sigel. with 1900 men, who
Immediately gave them battle. The first
onset resulted in the State troops being
driven back some distance, and the officers
ordered a retreat. The centre gave away,
but the order not being heard on the TANKS,
the advancing U. S. troops were in danger
of being surrounded, aud themselves fell
back. They retreated slowly, keeping up
the fight with artillery, making fearful
havock among the eHemy's ranks.
