There are some rumors here Of sufficient interest
fine 45 RI SSah eq19 lS. meg inc South
has boon recognized by France and England. /
| think it has originated from letters which have
been misunderstood, but which were certainly re-
! coiyed from Washington, one at Mayied, kentucky
from Lucian Anderson, Congressman from that
District, and tho Other at Dresden, Tmnessoc, from
the notorious Emerson Etheridge, saying that hos
Utilities would cease next month, or at all events,
thatan armistice would be proposed and begging
their respective friends to use their utmost endea-
yors to have those States to 70 with the North.
| had this information Two days ago but would
not write It for publication for fear the gentleman
who brought it, very truthful friend Of mine just
down from Jackson Tenn, may have been de
cciyod He got tho information from parties d.
rect from MaJfold, KY, and AS another equally
yeracious friend Of mine brings the same intolli-
gence in more authenticated shape, deem it
sufficiently reliably, as it is certainly important
enough for publication, for surely Congressman
or even an eI-member writing from Washington
ought to speak by the card.
Let me warn your readers, however, lest undue
importance be attached 10 the rumor, that Ander-
son and Ethcridge may be writing merely hypo-
allowed till tho 4th Of July to take Richmond but
being satisfied that he will inevitably fail. think
we should feel pretty banguno ourselves on such
hypothesis. The question arises, il England and
France have interposed, is It among their propo-
stiong to have the border States decide for then
selves as implied by the action Of these prominent
charactorsl
Ethsridgo says "wo are whipped" and Anderson
that "he present Congress will recognize tho Con-
iederacy." This IL positive.
At all eyentd l cannot doubt that tho war is
drawing rapidly to a close, and will end soon after
the assembling Of the Federal Congress next De-
oember. Fremont, in my opinion, will outrun Lin
coin if he does not beat the Democratic candidates
of whom there will probably DO two Mcclellan
and Vallandigham. Something like the following
will be the complexion of the several tickets;
Lincoln and Johnston, Republican Miscsgen
War candidates.
Fremont and CoChrane, Anti.Administration
Miscegen War candidates
Mcclellan and Seymour (or Johnston Ant-Ad-
ministraton Ultra War Democrats.
Vallandigham and Wood Tor Voorhees, Anti
Administration Conservative Democrats
If the last run as Peace candidates, and the peo-
pie at home and the army are allowed to vote unro-
gervedly, the contest will lie think, between Val
landigham and Fremont otherwise it will be be-
tween the first three, leaving Vallandigham but
little chance. FrOmonts letter aud the one term

GaDYentiOn which nominated him, will, think, in

failed TO put down the rebellion. Albeit they may
glory in bis denomination from the dibtant stand

Mars has scarcely been seen at their doors, those
who have most Immediately experienced his pres

longer by the reelection Of Lincoln; and unless
constrained at the ballot box, lot them talk as they
will for effect before hand, the glamor Of the Flag
aud the Union will be as effectusy diSsipated from
their vision az it was from ours when by one fell
act of secession we tore the decetfu treI of i'm

Several aag5 of truce have been passing lately,
but their meaning has not been divulged. One left
for Memphis this morning. It's said by parties
from there that the place could have been taken
with two or three regiments at one time since the
fight It is also reported the enemy intend to come
out in force to repair the StuTgis disaster. Let
them Gomez we are in considerable force ourselves
The reports as to the enemys movements are con-
hcting, but l hold to tho opinion that they will
come shortly.
