The Psacs Propositions in Georgia.

New York, Sept. 60.
The Heralj's 10th corps correspondent
Of the 9th says:
Secretary Seward, Assistant Secretary
Of War Dana, and Senator Washburne,
of Illinois, have been On brief visit to
Gen. Grant. Yesterday they we're es.
cortea BY Generals Grsnt, Butler. Birney
and Ord on an excursion up the river t.
the limits Of our lines. On approaching
Dutch Gap the enemy opened on them
with their battery at Kewie.t's House.--
As shells began falling about th.n pretty
thick and fast, the Secretary Of suggested
thst his weapon was the pen and seldom
killed psople, and that he Vas not pre-.
pared TO encounter rebel batteries with
that weapon, thereupon the boat was
turned about and returned down the river
to Harrison's lasding, 1t which point The
distinguished guests we're transferred TO
the steamer Baltimore aud proceeded
along on their voyage hame.
All reports that have gone abroad that
the rebel Government are evacuating
Richmond are false.
1t is stated that JEFF Davis has GONE to
Georgia TO head off Stephens aud B,own
IN their efforts to restore the State to the
Uaion.
TIE situation in that direction, 30 far
as the rebel cause is concerned, 10 consid-
-id.red critical 10 the extreme, and moth
my less than Jeffs presence can recon
cile the ci,izens of that State to longer
enduranec OF the rebel yoke.
Ho1d's army, also, is reported to be in
sush state of utter demoral x,,ion that
the presence there of the Presideat is con-
sidefed necessary to bring them up to q
sighting point.
