Propositions for Peace.

The special correspondent of the New York
World processes to have reliable information
that commissioners Of the Jeff Davis govern
ment are III Washington, with propositions
of peace. 1t is stated that Davis has become
thoroughly frightened. and prefers to get out
of his grand difficulties by negotiation. The
Worlds correspondent pretenls to know the
terms Of two distinct propositions that have
already been made by the commissioners TO
President Lincoln. as follows:
First, That the United States uncoHdltlon-
ally recognize the Southern Contedcracy, and
that the latter be permitted for Il term OF ole,
two, or three years to carry On their govern
ment as an experiment. That the expenses
of the war, thus far incurred, be cquitably ad-
justed between the two sections. and that
each do it's best for the maintenance of friend
ly feeling and intercourse between the two
peoples And that if, at the expiration OF
the time agreed upon, it be found that the
experiment cannot succeed, commission be
appointed to reconstruct union.
The proposition was pe'.mptority rejected,
whereupon they modestly put forth another
as follows:
.Second: The South will be content if the
government will pledge itself to pass, at the
coming session Of Congress, an lrrepeaabie
constitutional provision recognizing and le-
CALLING forever the institution Of slavery be-
low thirty-six thirty, which is the southern
boundary line of the state of Missouri. his
done, the southern provisional government
pledges itself instantly 10 abandon the wal,
and to re-establish peace and the most cor
| dial relationship, so far as It's section IS con-
cerned to redirect the course of trade into
its accustomed channels, and in every way
restore the happy days Of our foretathefs.
As to the reception which this proposition
received, my informant was positive, though
from another source gather doubt. lie
1t seemed to the party of the second part a
mere inte,sifcation of the Crittenden amend
ment. and not varying great from the Ad-
ans proposition. Others say that the accep-
lance OF this proposition would not be unac-
ccptable to the secretary of state and. there
fore, will meet with favor from the president.
Between the two cannot decide.

MOuNT MAN>tlELD.-Wc learn FROM a
friend in Stowe, that the Summit House ="
on Mount Mansfield is now open for vlsitols ;
and that among other improvements, there
has been erected good barn on the summit
for the accommodation of the horses of those
who chose to take them up. There is no

~ The two Connecticut men captured on
Thursday near Fairfax were victims Of rebel
confidence game. They sought their dinner
the other dav at house near their outpost,
and made so favorable an impression upon
their hosts that they were invited also to tea
for the sake of freer enjoyment. but left their
arms in a side room. Before the meal was
over, they were waited upon by three Virgin
ians who suddenly grew so fond that they re-
fused to be parted altogether, and since that
time the Connecticut men have not been seen.

FRIEND DAILY CALIFORNIAN Having no.

give YOU something of an idea of the P. o.
business done here. Within the past "a hours
there have been over 300 letters, and papers

There is another very interesting circum

bosoms will throb with joy when these three
hundred epistes shall have reached their

they have the most intelligence and social
feeling of any company. Perhaps l should

are nearly all at home while here, and have

Sunday Services.
Nix EDToR:-To day there have been very
interesting religions services in the Camp.
At half-past 10 A. NJ. regular public services
were held in the centre building Of the bar
racks. The Chaplain. Rev. Mr.. Parmalee,
made some very interesting extemporaneous
remarks to the soldiers on the character of
=" the Man Christ Jesus" as every way fit
model FOR their emulation. Singing and
prayer closed the exercises at the close of
which the Chaplain gave notice that there
would be prayer meeting held there at
O'Clock in the evening. At the appointed
hour some 20O more or less, gathered around
the Chaplain, and the meeting was opened by
singing the familiar hymn, Come Holy
Spirit, after which several prayers were Of
fcrcd up in succession by the soldiers. inter
>persed with singing and remarks. 1t was
truly an interesting and devotional meeting.
Such meetings cannot fail to have very be-
nign influence upon the whole Camp. May
they be continued both during their stay
amongst us and after their departure for the
'seat of war; SPECTATOR.
