to-day, that information had been receVed at Tine Bluff to the effect that Stonewall Jackson was at Baltimore, and that Lincoln had made proposals for peace. The first part of the story may be true, -but the latter is an absurdity. There may have been proposal for an armistice to give the fede- ras time, but we opine that our military authorities are too wide awake to grant armstice, or truce, at tlis juncture.
 We make up a bulletin from late papers that have come in our posse sion As coToborative of Kirby smith being at Cincinnati, the St. Louis napers of the 3rd say that he had captured Lex iuoton. Frankfort, Paris and Cynthiana, Ky, and was at Bqrd's Station, 39 miles from Cincinnati, on the 2nd The Cincinnati Commercial of the Ctb was in our possession for short time. It was f,lI of orders from Gen. Lew Wallace, who ap- pears to have been in command, and of Major General Wright, provost marshal, and ether ofl- cers Large bodies of militia were represented as nouring in the city and everything betokened the orentest alarm and confusion. On the contrary, inc Chicago Times of the 10th, which is before ma sa,-s nothing of Cincinnati, except special disnatcb f. m Memphis dated the 7th, as follows: Rumors are thick in the city. The Argus a has one that Cincinna u is surrendered to hlrpyomith' and there is report Gom Helena that Rosenerans 's had attacked Price at 'upelo and been repuised with considerable loss.
 Morgan and Buckner are represented as oeihg together and iu the middle of kentucky moving up towards Louisville. The Indian war turns out to be general one extending through A- 'ilie'o'a' Iowa. Decotah and Nebraska.
 The hostilities there are so important that Pro- po hoe bnan to takp pOm as will be seen by the following telegram:

 The following is the summary of news made by the Chicago Times:

 The N. Y. Times reports that Gen. Mcdowell is under arrest n that city, on charge of treason Another statement is, that lie has demanded court of inquiry. The Cincinnati Volksblatt, German | paper, publishes letter purportlng to give the par ticuars (by an eve witness) of the difficulty be- tween SigeI and Mcdowell, reported some days | ago. The substance of it is that Sigel, while en- gaging the enemy, observed Mcdowell waving | handkerchief to the rebels. He immediately rode | up and demanded an explanation. Therepiy being | very insulting, Siqe resented it with pstol-shot, the ball striking McDowell's scabbard.

 The state election in Maine took place on Mon 1 day. The returns thus far received indicate the l of the republican ticket by majority less thap half that of last year. Therepublicans have i probably elected four congressman; the remaining ] one is ii doubt. The legislature IS republican, but by smaller majority than in 1861. The guerrilla QuantrilI has occupied Oiathe, l Kansas, and Gov. Robinson, in consequence, called upon all the citizens of the state to organize and arm for their own defence. The Confederates crossed the Potomac at No- lan's Ford, which is four miles below the Point of Rock. The lederals evacuated Frelericksburg, de- sroying all their stores. and it was occupied by S.000 Contederate3 on the morning Of the 7th. A correspondent of the N. Y. Herald, writing from Endicott's Mills, says that the rebels" are not de stroying either railroads telegraphs. He fur ther says that the secesSonists warmly greet e3 T.
