New York. Nov. 15.--The Express
ha the following: There have been my.-
terious minors of peace lately on the
streets. and the speech of Gen. Butler last
evening is regarded very significant IN
some quarters that there is really some
thing on foot. The move of Sherman :
army is supposed to have something Ia 10
with 1t, and the story runs a iollOws:--
Some time since there wa, a secret con
clave ia Macon, OF the leading men OF
Georgia. including Gov. Brown and Vice
President Stephens. and an ambassador
was sent to Washington. This gentleman
was authorized to announce To the Pre,i-
dent that Georgia would seced" from tn .
Coniederacy il Sherman would march
through Georgia and take possession Of
Charleston and Savannah. The .ponse
of Mr.. Lincoln to this request about three
weeks since was that lie was not quite
ready but would do it after election. Ii
is cont.nded that this is the real secret OF
S!,eI mans movement. and that it is done
not only with a view of bringing back
Georgia, but North Carolina and Alabama
in connection with this. Ii was rumored
on the streets this p. m. that Augusta had
bren captured.

Sherman's hes lqua,ter> at Kingston, Ga.
