Peace Propositions,
September II, 1862.

We did not think it worth while TO offer
a word of comment on the dispatch which
appeared few days ago in our columns,
stating that certain peace propositions had
been rendered by the rebels to our Govern
ment not supposing that anybody would
believe one word of the story. The Lou
isville Journal of the ID inst, however,
takes the trouble 10 argue against its
probability but late Southern newspa-
pers indicate that such an offer is believ-
ed to have been made to the Federal Gov
eminent in the South. The correspond
ent of the Savannah Republican, writes
thus Of the matter:
"Nothing further has transpired in re-
gard to the proposition reported to have
been made by Gen. Lee 20 the Federal
Government, and alluded TO in a former
letter of mine. Tan credijy informed That
such a proposition as that described mas GER
tainly made, amt UlldeJ Circumstances thai
encourage the H9pe Of IN acceptance Recent
events, however, may have given a differ
ent turn to the affair"
This is tolerably positive language and
from a source TOO, which is entitled 70
more than ordinary credence. We still
disbelieve the story however; but the
mere fact that the rumor has come from
the rebelIious States, that offers Of peace
have been made, shows that peace party
is growing up in the South. The war
may last for some time to come, but the
days Of regularly organized rebel Gov
ernment are nearly ended. If the Rich
mond dynasty would disband its armies,
and fly the country, we would have not
the slightest apprehension that such crea-
lures as HARRIS could rally corporaPs
guard Of rebels, Or prevent nine-tenths of
the deceived, betrayed and outraged peo-
pie Of the South from joyfully flying TO
the Union for protection We do not
mean to say that nine-tenths Of the South
are loyal,--far from it; but even the
rebels themselves are becoming discour-
aged, and despair Of success.

TO OUR READERS.

This morning the UNION is presented
10 its patrons diminished somewhat in
size. The tault is not ours, nor is il in
our power TO control it at present The
paper maker on whom we depend, informs
us that il will be Necessary for him to
get several articles essential to the manu-
facture Of paper, before re can supply
us again with the proper size He has
enough of the size we print on this
morning 20 last us until the other can be
furnished. We assure our patrons hat
it is contrary TO the wishes Of the Pur-
fishers Of the USIoN 20 take any step
that win detract from its merits. As
soon as we can be supplied with the pa
per, we will resume our regular size.
Notwithstanding the reduction of the
paper from its former size, there viii be
no diminution.i in the amount Of reading
matter from what has heretofore been
given.

Forrest,

A person from Lebanon heard a report
at that place yesterday that FoRREsT had
been commissioned Brigadier- General,
with authority to raise twelve regiments
for service in this State. We doubt the
correctness Of the report, but if it be true,
we predict that he will not long offend
the nosHils Of loyalty in this State. He
may as well prepare to travel where Mr..
WARDS aquatic fowl went, and where
BEAUREGARD once threatened TO water his
horse.

Heavy Federal Force Coming

We learn on thc best authority, that a
large Federal force Is concentrating at
Fort Donelson. The report reaches us
by various channels. Gen j. M.QUARIEs
a gentleman informs us, was at Charlotts-
Vile few days ago, and told his friends
that he had reliable news that a large
Federal force was approaching Fort Don
elson He stated that number OF the
rebel citizens Of GAINESVILLE were pre-
pairing TO leave rs soon as possible The
troops are Western soldiers and splendid
fighters, and are provided with superb
artillery and gunners, and will most eff
fectually clean out all troublesome rebels
in their way. 1t is the intention Of the
Government TO send force Of 100000
men over this State in very short time,
and will not repeat the old game o con
ciliating retels.

For thc Union. -

There will be an immense amount of
suffering in this city, the coming winter,
if some provision is not speedily made
for procuring fuel, The poor, especially,
win be in asad condition, il some meas
ure is not adopted 10 procure a supply Of
wood. II is thought that the authorities
can get an abundant supply by running
out cars for wood on the Nashville and
Northwestern Railroad, within few
miles Of the city. Or, perhaps, the Edge
Geld road could be put in operation as
far as the Ridge, where immense quanti-
ties of wood can be procured, which
could be furnished TO the people at low
rates, and at the same time pay all the cost
Of its procurement II is God-li
duty to succor the poor, and il is import
ant that something should be done to
prevent apprehended distress.

ABILENE is the most fertile and beautiful that

fertility of the soil, the excellence of the water,
the healthfulness of the location, and the abur-

addition, the rich mineral resources Of this
portion of the State, The Salt Springs, and
extensive Coal Fields west of us on the Smoky

u BY General Fremonts observations, made
while On his celebrated Exploring Expedition to
Oregon and North California, We learn the lati-
tude of Junction to be 80 deg. 80 min 80 Sec,
and the longitude sc deg. "a min 36 sec Our
town is at an elevation of 926 feet above the
Gulf Of Mexico. From the Generals narrative
of his journey We quote the following in relation
to our immediate neighborhood -" We arrived
on the 9Th (of June, lS43,, at the mouth of the
Smoky hill fork, which is the principal southern
branch Of the Kansas forming here by its june
ton with the Republican, or northern branch,
the main Kansas River. Neither stream was
fordable, and the necessity of making e raft,
together With bad weather, detained US here
until the morning Of the llth, when we resumed
orr journey along the Republican fork.
For several days we continued to travel along
the Republican,, through country beautifully
vatered with numerous streams and handsomely
timbered; and rarely an incident occurred to
vary the nIonotonous resemblance which one day
on the prairies here bears to another and which
scarcely require particular description. Now
and then, We caught glimpse of a small herd of
elk and occasionally band of antelopes, whose
curiosity sometimes brought them within rifle
range, would circle round us and then scour off
into the prairies. As We advanced on Que road,
these became more frequent; but as we journeyed
on the line usually followed by the trapping ard
hunting parties of the Kansas and Delaware
Indians, game of every kind continued very shy
and wild. The bottoms which form the imme-
date valley of the main river were generally
about three miles wide; having rich soil of
black vegetable mould, and, for prairie coun-
try, well interspersed with wood The country
was everywhere covered with considerable
variety Of grasses, occasionally poor and thin,
but far more frequently luxuriant and rich"
This is what this section of country was in ls43,
when the "untutored savage of the forest" was
its monarch I; who can describe its beauties now,
when civilization has given helping hand to
nature?

RETALrArIoS.-Thc following " COAX" was per-
petrated while our paper was in its ''hole":
"Why is a certain newspaper in Kansas like a
snake, Because it seldom comes out of its hole

and a half of blaclsguardism in the last number
of the " little joker alluded to convinced that
