The ..Peace,, Hu,nbug.

The Democratic papers and politicians are
making great howl over what they term peace
propositions from the rebels. They say the
Administration has rejected peace, and elected
to prolong the war. The facts in the case are
about as follows.
G. G. Clay, Jr., and ] P. Holcombe of the
South and Geo. N. Sanders, a renegade North
er,ss,r, were stopping at Niagara on the Can
aGas;de, and Horace Greeley was stopping on
this side. These rebels sent note to Greedy,
stating that they wanted to go to Washington
to consult about terms of peace, and asking for
to Richmond. Mr. Greedy informed the Pres
ident of these facts, whereupOn he issued the
following proclamation: .- .~s~
ExEcur1vE MANSION, Wash, July ls, 1864.
To aohonl 1t may concern:
ANY proposition which embraces the restofa-
ton of Peace, the integrity of the whole I'm
ion, and the abandonment ofSlavery and W hich
comes by and with an authority that can con-
troll the armies now at war against the United
States, will be received and considered by the
Executive Goeernment of the United States,
and will be met by liberal terms on other and
substantial collateral points, and the bearer or
bearers Of itshall have feconduct both ways.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
This was communicated to these rebels, who
informed Mr.. Greeley that ''The safe conduct of
the President of the United States had been
rendered them under some misapprehension of
facts That they HAD NOT BEEN accredited to
him as bearers of propositions looking to the
establishment of peace, but that they undoubt-
edly would be, was the rebel government made
acquainted with the facts. .
This is the substance and facts of the whole
thing. The Presidentsignifed his Willingness
to receive proper persons, clothed with certain
delegated powers. These men-Clay, Hol-
combe, &c.-said that they were not authorized
to propose any terms for peace. OF course the
matter dropped; it could not do otherwise. If
the rebels want peace, the Presidents propo-
sition is open to them.

IAlrEs BIRnsRYE nlcPHERsolN.


Most of ourreaders have undoubtedly learned
before this time of the death of Major General
j. B. McPHERsoN. He was shot by rebel
sharp shooter before Atlanta on Friday morning
last just previous to the commencement of the
battle. In the death of Gen. Mcpherson, the
country has sustained the most severe loss that
IT has in the death of any officer since the com
mencement of the rebellion. As military en-
gineer she had no equal, and as a skillful and
successful General no superior, unless it should
be Gen. Grant. His remains arrived in Clyde,
at the residence of his mother, yesterday morn
ing. His funeral takes place in that village to-
day at 10 o'clock. Large numbers of our citi-
zens are in attendance. Large numbers from
the neighboring towns are also present.

A NOVEL WAY OF INPARTING NFoRAA-
TIoN-A correspondent writes: A novel
mode of giving light to benighted rebels on
the subject of the Presidents amnesty has
recently been tried with success along our
lines. A common boys kite is sent sky
ward and rebelward whenever the wind is
favorable, having two strings, one strong
and the other weak. To particular weak
spot in the weak string bundle of the
printed promises of the amnesty is fasten-
ed. When the kite is high enough, and
soaring far within the rebel ines, the stout
string is slackened and all the strain is
brought upon the weak, Instantly the
cord parts at the tender spot, and the proc
lamations, 'thick as antumnal leaves which
strew the streams in Valambrosia, shower
gently DER hill and plain and forest-top,
where the rebels can pick them up. Is not
that brilliant thing, and worthy of uni
versal Yankee ingenuity?
