Rum0Ps Of Peace.

new YORK. Nov. 1.-THE Express has
the following: There have been mysteri-
Gus rumors Of peace lately on the streets,
and the speech of Gen. Butler last evening
is significant in some quarters that there il
really something on foot. The movement
of Sherman's army is supposed to have
something to do with it, and the story runs
~ follows:
Some time since there was secret con-
clave IN Macon, of the leading men OF Ga.
including Gov. Brown and Vice President
stephens, and an ambassador was sent to
Washington. This gentleman was auttor-
lied to assure the President that Georgia
would secede from the Southern Confeder-
acy if Sherman would march through
Georgia and take possession Of Charleston
and Savannah. The response on the part
of Mr.. Lincoln to this request, about t6ree
weeks ago, was that he was not quite ready
but would do it after election. 1t Is con.
tended that this il the real secret Of Sher-
mans move, and that it il done with q view
Of not only bringing back Georgia, but
North Carolina, also. In connection with
this il was rumored on the streets this ar
ternoon that Augusta had been captured.
