bounty BRoKER SoLD.--A loyal bounty
broker from Jefferson county, came to this
city In search of recruits for the benefit of
his township, upon which he expected to
make nice thing. The city brokers soon
found him out but failed to negotiate any
transaction in human flesh with him. FL

rural dealer that there was young fellow
in the City Prison who wanted to enlist,
provided some one would pay his fine and
get him out of DURANGO. Jefferson county
hastened to the prison, saw the recruit,
paid his fine, got him out, treated to the
chickcn-tails, and hurried his man off to the

the necessary medical examination, and was
not long in discovering that the would-be
recruit was a female. The jefferson county

her object in getting out of the prison, also
took an early train for her home near New

The Georgia Negotiations a Tea
Party Affair.

New YORK, Oct. 7.-The Posts Atlanta
correspondent gives the following as the
true version of the Georgia peace PROPOSE
tions:
The armed foot has pressed heavily upon
this people, and they feel the untlinching
hand of Sherman grasping and holding their
very life, and L am sure, with vivid con-
seriousness of the terrors ofthe past and dread
foreboding of the coming future, that they
are ready for peace on almost any terms.
Neither the newspapers nor the leaders say
this, but there are strong indications in that
direction. One of these papers proceeds
deliberately to discuss the propriety Of Gov
ernor Browns acceptance. of Sherman's
invitation to come to Atlanta. You have
no doubt seen the report of such
an invitation having been extended,
which has thus much of truth that while
prominent citizen was dining with Sher-
man one day, the gentleman remarked: g.
wish, General, that Governor Brown could
see and talk with you." "Let him come"
replied the General; III have no objections
to his coming within my lines. He shall
pass safely in and out. There are valuable
records here which he would no doubt like
| to get and preserve. Let him come. i
would like to see him. l presume the
invitation was duly delivered to the Gov
ernor. 1 Iquestion, however, If he was pre-
pared Just at this moment to accept it.
Perhaps we shall have the pleasure Of see:
| ing him when we arrive at Macon or Au-
| gusta. r~

All Quiet in Front of Petersburg.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE intelligence
from the Army of the Potomac to-day is
that unusual quiet prevailed during We'd
nesday night and yesterday morning. Our
forces on the south side are within sound
and sight of the railroad, and in a strong
position, capable, it is said, of resisting any
rebel assault. 1t appears that the rebels
are not using that railroad to any extent.
NEW YORK, Oct. THE 18th Corps cor
respondent says No hostilities whatever
are going on in their front. The rebel dead
in front of Fort Harrison still lie unburied,
the rebels firing on our men when they
went out to bury them. The rebel loss in
the assaults on Saturday is admitted to be
1000.
