A BRUSH WITH THE ENEHY.-We learn
from Q correspondent of the Bristol AdBOcats,
who writes tom headquarters st Hickory Flats
Lee county, Virgins, October 17th, that eighty
six CoEfedeTates, under command Of Major Sal
yer, met ona hundred aud eighty Of the Ken
lucky Home Guards, a few days since, on or
neAr the line Of Harlan county, Kentucky, and
after a hot-contested fight Of ten minutes, sue
ceeded in driving the invaders pel nell into the
moUntains, killing four, capturing twenty pris-
oners, twenty-five improved muskets, four horses
and TIVE mules, all of which we're brought into
camp at Hickory Fats. The same correspond
emf says the enemy are again rallyiBg for another
incursion into Lee county, and all that is needed
to whip them easily is two hundred muskets and
a plenty of Observation-Disclosures EngwirsT.

Overtures for Peace.

We republish this week, from the Chicago
Times. the statement Of one j. WESLEY GREENE,
giving the details of interviews with JEFF DA-
Wis, az Richmond, in which the former wrs au-
thOrized by the latter to convey to Mr. LINCOLN
his earnest desire for the restoration Of peace
upon the basis Of the old Union, and his subse-
quent interview with the President and the Cabi-
net, in which he repeated the conversation he had
had with the rebel President The Times. in
publishing the document, says that il prints it
precisely as il was received, and it "has not
shadow Of doubt Of its perfect aud entire truth
fulness This confidence is inspired by numer-
Gus interviews with Me- GBEESE, and BY numer-
Gus testimonials to his character" We pub
lishec on Monday last a letter from the Wash
ingto1 correspondent ofthe n Y. Tribune, which
stated, in most positive terms. that the Admins
tration had received oyertures Of peace from lead
ing men of the rebel States. The statement con-
firms those made by Mr. GREENE. The Admin
istraiOn through the telegraph. comedies that Mr..
G. had disclosed to them the representations he
makes public, but that the President regarded
him as can impostor," and that there was no
ground for his nonsensical statement"
The document will be perused with interest.
The minuteness of its details give it an air of
probability. If there is no ground for the state
ment Of GREENE, a alleged by the President, 1t
will be easy TO bring forward the evidence to
substantiate the charge Of imposition. If the re-
ported overtures from JEFF. DAVIS for peace
were unquestioned, we do not believe that the
fanatics who are driving the country to destruc-
ton with railroad speed would permit them to be
entertained by the representatives Of the Govern
ment. IL Is not the restoration of the Union
and the maintenance of the Constitution
thai they desire The leaders OF that faction
openly declare that they do wish reunion
upon the old basis-the Government Of WASH
ISeToS, Of JEFFERSON and OF JACKSON. They
are for social and political revolution. They
want strong central Government which will
override the reserved rights of the States. They
do not desire the 70 until slavery is
abolished, and the "free Americans Of African
social system which has been Of incalculable
benefit 70 the negro. the object Of all their SYM
patty, and 70 the commercial interests and per-
soaal comfort Of the whole world, 10 give sub
jertive race a political and svcial status which
it is incapable Of appreciating, and which would
result in evil to both the blacks and whites. Is

The New Jersey Legislature and an

The Washington correspondent of the New
\ ork Herald says;
A Congressman stated to-day in the House to
few friends, that resolution proposing ar
mstice of siA months had been drawn up by n
newly elected member of the New Jersey Legs
ature, and would be presented at the beginning
of the session opening on the 7th Of January
next The resolution, he said. which is prefaced
by long string of considerations, will reproduce
Louis Napoleon's idea of armistice, but will re-
fuse to adhere to the mediation scheme, on the
ground that several State Legislatures are ready
TO discuss similar resolutions and that this in-
luence will be sufficient to obtain a suspension of
hostilites without the Intervention Of foreign
powers. That Congressman asserted, also. that
these resolutions will be adopted by the New
Jersey Legislature before any other measures are
voted unon

proximating as far as possible to uniformity, and
increasing the efficiency and extent of the de

The attention of the public is called TO the great
importance of good postal officers for a success

POstmasters and their clerks are selected without
chief reference to their efficiency and personal
fitness, amount of good legislation will secure
public satisfaction An energetic, faithful and
efficient Postmaster, devoted to the interests OF

trates those qualities in the administration of the
office.
He attributes the success of the English system
largely to the permanent character of their oil
GERS, aud 10 their familiarity with the laws and

He urges a return to the old standard of hon.

public satisfaction aud administrative success
from the adoption of such principle than from

The special Washington dispatches to the Gin
cinnati Gazette say:
The President has written a letter 10 Horatio
Seymour, urging him to drop attention to party
interests and TO concern himself somewhat for
the interest of the nation; dwelling on the suffer.
ing of the West from the closing of the Missis-
sipp river, and expressing the hope they will be
able to alleviate that suffering somewhat by pre-
venting railroad monopoIies and reducing the
present enormous tariff on freight. As deemed
