New York Tribune's Dispatch
WASHINGTON, June 24.-The rebels have
made two propositions of peace to the Ad
minisratiop; one contemplates the complete
recognition of the Southern Confederacy
with treaty of commerce and friendship,
and, perhaps, an annual subsidy of $1,000 0O(
for giving us protection against foreign anC
domestic enemies.
The other, which is still under considera-
ton, consents to a suspension of hostilities
a laying down of arms, and the extension o.
thiIty.siX degrees thirty minutes to the
Pacific. Perhaps censorious people may SET
! some immediate connection between thest
facts and the supineness of both armies OF
, the other side of the Potomac, and the in
; dignation manifested toward the rapid energy
OF General Lyon and Colonel Blair in Mis-
souri,.

gress will be so impertinent as to inquire
into the history of the tampering with trail
tors in rebellion.
