SPECIAL TO CoMMERcIAL.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-There is the
highest authority for contradicting the
stories about rebels having made peace prop
ositions to the government, though some
persons and journals have protested to give
somewhat minute details. There is no
truth IN it whatever. On the contrary, the
administration have received assurances
that the rebels intend prosecuting the war
with the utmost gigor, and if possible, over
throw the government and destroy the
republic even though they perish in the
ruins. They feel the two governments can
not co-exist in such close proximity, or even
on the same continent.
No full official report of the Great Bethel
affair has as yet been made public, and it
is thought here that our loss is much larger
than has been supposed. 1t is known that
just as the order to retreat was given, the
rebels were leaving their outer entrench-
ments, fearing they would be carried by
storm but, after the withdrawal of our
forces, they resumed their position and con
tinued their Ere.

State are in Richmond

LOUISVILLE, June 25.--Conseryati ve
Union men deplore the receiving of federal
companies by Gen. Rousseau. They say
the benefit thereof will be more than coun-
terbalanced by the pretext, and it will give
Tennessee and Kentucky secessionist a
chance to allege the violation of the neu-
trality of Kentucky, and perhaps inaugu-
rate civil war within her borders.
The A. o. Tyior, gun boat in tow of the
steamer Champion, went TO the mouth of
the canal this evening. 1t is doubt
full whether the low stage OF water will
permit the gun boat to go through the
Canal.
The report that passenger trains on the
Louisville ami Nashville Railroad had been
discontinued is false. They will run as
usual.
The federal authorities have been for sew
eral days in consultation with the State au-
thOrities and the directors of the Nashville
railroad, as TO what goods should be per-
mitted to go South 1t is still undecided as
to shat goods shall be interdcted, but it is
supposed tibet every kind of merchandise
will be.
Gentlemen from Georgia represent that
strong Union feeling prevails in several por-
tions of that State, suppressed only from
fear of the consequences of utterance. Many
people there earnestly hope that recon
structiOn of the Union may be effected.

WHEREAS, The State Of Kentucky, by the
almost unanimous voice of her people, ex-
pressed through the State Legislature, and
in public meetings, has assumed the posi-
ton of armed neutrality as between the bel
Iigerents to the present unnatural war now
raging in our beloved country and believ
ing, as we do that the same ought to be
maintained in good faith: Therefore,
Res0lred, That while we claim to have
the lawful commerce of the citizens of this
State unfettered and free, we desire in 70
way to embarrass the commerce of the
States either North or South of US, and will
not c0untenance any effort to this end.
Resolred, That everything calculated to
harrass, to cast opprobrium upon, or to in
suit those engaged in lawful commerce on
the Ohio River, meets with our unqualified
condemnation, and that we earnestly rec
ommend to our telow-citizens the observ-
ance of a respectful demeanOr and conduct
towards all with whom they may come in
contact, to the end that peace may be pre-
served on our border, and that we may
have the good will and respect of both
the parties to this unnatural struggle.
ResolUed, That we disapprove and con-
denim the firing at any flag, steamboat, or
other craft on the Ohio River by any citizen
of this town.
On motion, said resolutions were unani-
mously adopted.
On motion, of j. H. McHenry, the follow
| ing resolutions were adopted, viz;
| ResOlped, That the Board of Trustees OF

as will prevent the commission of such Of
| fences in future.
ResoIued, That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the Owensborc
papers, Louisville papers, Evansville Jour
nal and New Albany Ledger
On motion, the meeting then adjourned

BsT The real history OF war is beginning
to be written. A correspondent tells this
incident of the Great Bethel fight. Orderly
Sergeant Goodfellow, of Col. Aliens regi-
ment, was MORALLY wounded in the breast.
He handed his musket to a comrade, and
several hocked round him. Oh, said he,
&" guess I've got to go, and he placed his
hands upon the wound Oh, don't mind
me, boys, he continued " 60 on with the
fight; don't stop for me don't stop for
me and pressing away those who at
tempted to support him. he sank down upon
the ground. Just at that instant the colo
mel passed, ana looking up to him he gasped
" Goodbye, Colonel! " and died. Col. Al
len turned CHASTITY white, AS he observed it..
He bit his lips, too much moved to speak,
aud rushed on to ayenge his death

LOCAL NOTICES.

"THE SoUTHERNER. We have been
using one of these stoves some days, and
find it to far surpass the ordinary Cook
Stove in economizing fuel aud in general
convenience. Its baking arrangements are
very superior, and indeed as a cheap stove
it is one of the best that has come under our
observation. 1t does not require over half
the wood necessary to render the common
stove efficient or useful. We would advise
those wishing to purchase good stove to
examine the SOutherner, which is the only
hot-air cooking stove now in use. For

in their object, and had left for the Greek
Nation, hoping to get aid from them. Capt.

Alex. Price, paymaster of the Iowa regi-
ment at Boonville, is here
The following is the proclamation refer
red to above
Owing to the momentous state of affairs
/ pending among the people of the several
states, |, John Ross, principal Chief hereby
{ issue this my proclamation TO the people Of
the Cherokee Nation, reminding them
of the obligations arising under their
treaties with the United States, and urg-
ing them to the faithful observance
| of said treaties by the maintainanc e
of peace and friendship toward the people of
all the States. The better to obtain these
important ends urge upon all my fellow
citizens the propTiety of attending to their
own business, and to refrain from partizan
demonstrations in regard to the same We
should not be alarmed with false reports
but cultivate harmony among ourselves,
and observe good faith aud strict neutrality
between the States now in civil war. With
these views alone can the Cherokee people
hope to maintain their own rights unm-
paired, and to have Their own homes aud
fresides spared from devastating war. There
has been no declaration of war between the
hostile parties, and the conflict may be
averted by peaceable separation.
The peculiar circumstances OF their coll
lison admOnish the Cherokees to the exer-
else of prudence in regard to a state of af-
fairs, to the existence OF which they have in
no way contributed They should avoid
the permeance of any act, or the adoption
of any policy calculated to destroy or en-
danger their territorial and civil rights, with
honest adherence To that course. They can
give no ust,cause for.aggressiou or invasion,
nor any pretence for making this country
the scene of military oppression, and will
be in a situation to claim and retain all
these rights in the final adjustment that will
take place between the several States. For
these reasons earnestly impress uron the
Cherokee people the importance Of nOn-in-
reference in the affairs Of the people OF the
States, and the observance Of answering
neutrality between them, trusting that
Almighty God will not only keep from our
own borders the desoIation of war, but that
he will in infinite mercy and honor stay the
ravages among the brotherhood of States.
Given under my hand, at the Executive |
office at Park Hill, this 18th day of May, !
