| SPECIAL dispatch to the n. z commercal.l
WAsHKGToN, June 25.-There is the high
eat authority fo- contradicting the stories
| about the Rebels having made peace prcpo-
/ sitions to the Government, though some
presses and journals have professed to give
somewhat minute details There IL no truth
in il whatever. On the contrary the Admin
istration have received assurances that the
rebels intend prosecuting the war with the
utmost vigor, and, il possible. overthrow the
4 Government and destroy the Republic even
| though they perish in the ruins. They feel
that the Two Governments cannot exist in
such close proximity or even on the same
continent
No official account of the Great Bethel af-
fair has as yet been made public, and Il 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. Emboldened by the withdrawal of
continued their fire.
The highest officers of the Confederate
States are in Richmond.
Especial TO the n. Y. Post.I
1t is rumored here that Benz. Wood, of
New York, and Clement Valandigham, of
Ohio, will. at an early day, offer resolutions
in Congress for the recognition of the South
cru COnIedsracy. Iney are the only Nortb-
ern tories in Congress.
The Baltimore Secessionists are very angry
with Gen. Johnston for bis wholesale destruc-
ton of property at Martinsburg. The act has
opened the eyes of the wealthy rebels. They
begin to see with what sort of traitors they
have concerted.
One thousand Rebel troops have been post
ed at OceOquaw, Va, to guard against
flank movement by the Federal troops.

Government to permit the rebeilious Legis-
lature of Maryland to pass any disloyal acts
it pleases, but if such acts conflict with the
Constitution and the interest of the nation
they will abolish the Legislature at the point
of the sword.
Especial to the N Y. Times
VIM. d. Gallagher, of Kentucky, lately
confidential clerk of the Secretary of Treasu-
ry, has been appointed Collector of the port
of New Orleans, and leaves Washington for
Cairo to morrow.
He will accompany our army in its pro-
gress down the Mississippi, and there can be
no doubt that his appointment and departure
for this point indicates an advance at the
earliest practicable moment upon Memphis.
This will not be for some weeks, but will
move Southwardly with the flag, restoring
the commercial relations of the Union, and
scaling up all lines of transportation for the
ally known that the collection district of
New Orleans embraces the valleys of the
Mississippi and Ohio, including their tributa-
ries, and reaching as far as Pittsburg. The
So-called Collector of Louisville and other
towns within the district are only surveyors
agents of the New Orleans Collector.
1t is undoubtedly true that letters and pro-
visions are constantly going by night from
Maryland. &C., to Virginia. even under the
nose of the Pawnee.
Slaves belonging to Fairfax county rebel
offered their services to the second Michigan
Regiment. They were accepted.
Especial to the N. Y. Herald.l
1t is asserted that Wilson's z .uaves have |
gone to Fort Pickens, but it is quite likely |
they have gone to Charleston. Several other |
regiments about leaving the North will pro- |
badly 60 there also.
The War Department received intelligence |
that Col. Stone has entered Harper's Ferry |
with his command sufficiently strong to hold |
that position. A return of the rebels WIS |
only Tor the purpose of making the destruc- |
ton of the place complete. Why Gen. Pat |
ierson should have allowed this when he only |
Ii d TO march and possess the place, is the |
subject OF comment and surprise in high mill |
tary circles. /
