A Pen PIcture OF General sherman.

While 1 was watching the endless line
of troops shifting by, an officer with q
modest escort, rode up to the fence near
which was standing, and dismounted.-
He was rather tall and slender, and his
quick movements denoted good muscle add
ed to absolute leanness-not thinness.-
his uniform was neither new nor old, bnt
bordering on hazy mellowness of gloss,
while the elbows and knees were little &C.
cented from the continuous agitation Of
those joints. The fact is one should never
rest upon in q crowd, simply because, to
my eye, there was nothing remarkable in
it, save the nose, which organ was high,
thin, and planted with curve as vehement
as the curl of Malay eutlas. The face
and neck were rough and covered with
reddish bair, the eye bright in color
and animated, but, though restless and
bounding like ball from one object to an
other, neither piercing nor brilliant; the
mouth well closed but common; the ear
large, the hands and feet long and thin
the gait little rolling, but firm sndactive.
In dress and manner there was not the
slightest trace Of pretension He spoke
rapidly, and generally with an inquisitive
which was the reverse of dignifed or dis
tinguished-a simple felt affair with q
round crown and dropping brim, aud you
have as fair description of General Sher-
rams externals as can pen.
| Seating himself on stick of cord-wood
hard by the fence he drew bit of pencil
from his pocket and spreading piece o.
note paper on mis- knee, he wrote with great
rapidity. Long columns of troops lined
the road few yards in his front, and be-
yond, massed in q series of spreading green
/ fields, q whole division of infantry was
waiting to take the line of march, the blue
ranks cleared out against the Verdant back
ground. Those who were near their Gen
eral looked at him curiously, for in so vast
an army the soldier sees his Commsnder-in
Chief but seldom. Page after page WA
alled BY the Generals nimble pencil and
dispatched.
For halfan hour I watched him, and
though looked for and expected to fine
them, no symptoms could detect that tht
mind of tbs great leader was taxed by tn
infinite care of 8 terribly hazardous military
coup denaai4. Apparently It did not liz
upon his mind the weight of feather. a
mail rarived. He tore open the papers anS
glanced at them hastily, then chstted Will
some General officers near him, then rod,
of with characteristic suddeness, but Will
fresh and smiling countenance fling dow1
the road beside many thousand men, who's
lives we're in his kesping.-Attqata Letter

SECOND DISPATCH.
Especial to cleveland Lsadsr.l
WAsHINaroN. Sent. 2s.

. r WAsHNGToE, Sept. %.
There are some reasons for suspecting
that the stories about the Georgia peace
negotiations are settled ia the utmost inter
est of Gold spectators, operating for a
further fll, nevertheless itf not unnatur-
al to suppose that Vice President Stephens
who is Disguised with the rebellion
and all its prospects, has some business re-
lating to that subject which leads him to
his protracted c. Insulation with Governor
Brown, and it Is just ss natural to suppose
that JEFF. Davis, whose neck would be en-
dangered by peace has not gone to Geor-
gia during the progress cf these consulta-
tions in spite of urgent need for his presence
at Richmond, for nothing
The Cabinet officer who is said 10 have
received the Georgia proposition is Mr.
Seward.
Governor Dennison will be here to-mor-
row, according to dispatch received by
the President this afternoon. BE will at
once enter upon his duties as Postmaster
General.
The movement against Richmond on
the north side of the James, by mobile
force, separate completely from the army
before Petersburg, is relied upon to ac-
complish one ftwo things-either it will
take Richmond because Lee'sforce is nearly
all at Petersburg, or it will compel Lee to
weaken his lines at Petersburg in order
to send troops to protect Richmond. Either
course is full Of hope for US.
Meantime it is conjectured that if Early
diverges from Staunton toward Charlotts-
vile or Gordonsyille, it would not be un-
natural for Sheridan to keep on following
him, and thus place himself within sup
porting distance of Grant in the event of
an action.
The spprehensions expressed in the Off
cial bulletin about the efforts against
Shermans line of communication are com
mon in Government circles. Still Sher-
man is supposed to have enough rstions to
be able TO have his communications cut for
a time without serious damage.
The draft vent on here to-day, couple
moreE wards being completed. An
other day or two will finish the city.
The swarm of cotton speculstors still in
fest the White House and Treasury De-
partment. As yet they get but cold com
fort, and the new orders, providing for
purchases on government account, are still
withheld,

FROM ST, LOUIS.

ST. LOTS, Sept. 2s.
A large Union meeting was held here
this evening, to celebrate Sheridan's vic
tories In the Shenandoah Valley. General
Grants message. announcing his advance
on Richmond, caused the widest en-
thusiasm and delight.
The rebels infest the whole country
south of De Soto, going through the coun-
try and plundering everybody they meet
They have list of all Union men in the
country through which they pass, whom,
II 4 sad, they Kill on sight. They con-
script all rebel sympathizers, even bows
fifteen years of age.
The city is full of refugees from that
section, and large numbers are emigrating
to Illinois and other States
About 800 militia at Camp Sheridan
are ready for service.
Troops continue to arrive from Illinois
and other States, giving material strength
to the department.

WASHINGTON, Sept %.
tits not seen how two corps moving by
themselves on the North side of James
River, are going 70 make q very formi-
dabie movement on Richmond, and hence
opinions preYeil in military circles, that
the adyaccing announced in Grants Dis
patches to-day is rather feint, than an
earnest opening for an attack on Richmond
from the North. Still it is believed that
important movements cannot long be de-
layed.
Important news received by the Con-
gressional Committee, as well as private
advices, warrant me in saying, that it Is
now almost absolutely certain that we will
carry New Jersey for Lincoln.
The Camden & Amboy Railroad, which
constrols the State, and which has hitherto
always used considerable influence for the
Democratic party, is no longer hostile to
US.
The appointment of Admiral FsrFagut
to the command of the North Atlantic
Squadron means business. Wilmington
and Fort Darling are the two objective
points of the new naval campaign.
The assignment Of Admiral Lee to Far
ragufs place in the Gulf by the same course
of induction, does net mean business. Talk
about the fall of Mobile may as well be
given up for the present
Gen. Hooker will speedily arrive in Gin
cinnati to relieve Gen. Heintzelnan and
assume command of his department.

PEACE rRoPOSTrIOns.

The Heralds Washington special says;
The peace proposition matter has been
so often made the subject of canards that
people are cautious in believing any state
ment in regard to it, and are willing to go
no farther than to admit that when there
Is so much smoke there must be some fire.
In reference to the Georgia propositions,
there Is no more smoke than fire. 1t is
beg ond doubt that week before last peace
propositions FROM cer.aiH authorised par
ties In Georgia were placed in the bands Of
member of the Cabinet. It may be de-
sirable to suppress this information for GER
tain purposes until decision shall be at
tanned, but this does not change the fact
that such propositions have been presented
for consideration. l
