DAN RICE's GREAT SHow.-On Wednes-
day next Dan Rice, the celebrated Ameri-
can Humorist, will pitch his mammoth pa
vilion on High street, corner of Spring
street, where he will remain for two days
only. The arrival of the distinguished jester
and his great show will put everybody on
the qui vive to listen to the new conceits he
has accumulated since his last visit here,
and to witness the rare novelties he brings
in his train. In Philadelphia, Washington
and Baltimore, the rush to hear and see par
took of the nature of an ovation. This time
he comes accompanied by his accomplished
young wife, and surrounded by combina-
tion of attractive features that would insure
the success of anybody's show. Dan Rice
is not clown in the common acceptation
of the word-rather a lecturer or commen-
tator upon the times and objects that ap-
pear to be suggested by the occasion. He
''points a moral or adorns tale" with a
joke, and sugar-coats precept with witt
cism. The entire exhibition is represented
as original and unique. A score of learned
horses from different parts of the world,
taught in every variety of feats known in
this country; ponies, mules and buffaloes,
with instincts developed so as to border on
reason, and a company of acting dogs and
monkeys that have successfully entertained
the Imperial family at st. Cloud, and Roy
atty at St. James, make up an entertainment
worthy of the prince of testers.

NEW YoRK, July 2l.-The Philadelphia
Iuquirer's correspondent In his account of
the visit to Richmond by Col. Jaques and
Edmond Kirk, Mr.. Gilmore, author of
"Among the Pines" &C., says that it is gen.
orally understood that the object was the
restoration of peace. Col. Jaques, with
whom the idea originated, proposed o year
ago to visit Richmond, gained permission
to pass our lines but got no further than
Petersburg, when he returned without ma
terial success. He found our prisoners on
Belle Isle comfortably cared for.

The NEW IDIoTIc AsYLUM.-The citizens
of GAINESVILLE are actively engaged in col
lecting subscriptions and donations for the
purpose of securing the location of the new
State Idiotic Asylum in that city. The
erection of the building alone involves the
expenditure of about $4,000, and it will be
a creditable edifice to any city. Columbus
has great advantages over GAINESVILLE or any
other city in the State, and it is to be hoped
the building will be located here; but un-
less some effort is made by those of our cit
izens interested in the matter, and prompt
action taken, GAINESVILLE will secure the in
stitution, and Columbus will sustain loss
which will be keenly felt hereafter.

A CowHIDER CowHIDED.-T The female
who degraded herself by cowhiding the local
editor of the Journal on Wednesday even
ing did not enjoy the questionable glory of
the feat very long, for the same night the
wife of the reporter, hearing ofthe transac-
ton, met the ''woman in black" on the
street and gave her tremendous thrashing
with wagon whip. The screams of the
woman, as the lash descended upon her
shoulders with all the force that an indig-
nant wife could command, were heard all
over the neighborhood, and attracted the at
tention of crowd of spectators on the route
over which the contest ragged. There is a
great deal of bad blood about this unfortu-
nate affair, but we hope the last has been
heard of it. .,......... .

Si: We have the honor to acknowledge
your favor of the 18th inst, which would
have been answered on yesterday, but for
the absence of Mr.. Clay. The safe conduct
of the President of the United States has
been rendered us, we regret to state, under
some misapprehension of facts. We have
not been accredited to him from Richmond
as the bearers ofpropositions looking to the
re-establishment of peace.
We are, however, in the confidential en-
ployment of our government, and entirely
femiliar with its wishes and opinion on that
subject, and we feel authorized to declare,
that If the circumstances disclosed in this
correspondence were communicated to
Richmond we would b at once invested
with the authority to which your letter re-
fers; or other gentlemen clothed with tnll
powers would Immediately be sent to Wash
ington, with the view of fastening con-
summation so much to be desired, and ter
minating at the earliest possible moment the
calamities of war. We respectfully solicit
through your Intervention safe conductto
Washington, and thence by am route which
may be designated through your lines to
Richmond. We would be gratified if Mr..
Geo. N. Sanders was embraced in the privi-
lege. Permit us in conclusion to acknowl-
edge our obligations to You for Jh interest
you have manifested in the furtht rance Of
our Wishes and to eXprtss the hope that in
any event you will afford us the opportun-
ity of rendering them in person before you
leave the Falls. We remain, very respect

Propositions for Peace-NIr. Gree
ley Acting for the United States--
The Rebel Commissioners 10 Visit
Washington.

Washington.
New YORK, July 2l.--A dispatch from
| Niagara Falls says an interview has taken
place between Messrs. Clay, Thompson and
Halcomb, who claim to be Commissioners
| from the rebel Government to seek terms
of peace, and Mr.. Greeley, authorized by
Mr.. Lincoln to act in the matter. The Com
missioners proposed the restoration of the
Union in Stdtu quo upon this basis: First.
All negroes which have been actually freed
by war to be secured in such freedom
Second. All negroes at present held as slaves
to remain so. Third. The debt of both
parties to be paid by the United States
Fourth. The old doctrine of State rights
to be recognized in reconstructing the
Union.
This proposition was laid before Mr.. Lin
coin by Mr.. Greeley. The President at once
telegraphed to Mr.. Geeley the terms upon
which he would propose settlement and
reconstruction, to-wit: The full and COM
plete restoration of the Union in all its ter
ritorial integrity; the abandonment of slav-
cry by the seeded States under conditions
which should, while respecting the proper
ty rights of all loyal men, afford ample
security against another war in the interest
of slavery.
AFTER considerable correspondence between
the parties, it was concluded to refer the
whole matter back to the two Governments
for reconsideration.
New York, July 2l.-The Herald's Mag
ara Falls dispatch says Mr.. Greeley, accom-
panied by Mr.. Hay, Private Secretary to
MIR. Lincoln, have had an interview with
George N. Sanders and others, claiming to
be Peace Commissioners from the rebels
The Commissioners wanted to visit Wash
ington, and receiving statement of the
terms upon which such visit might be made,
they were accepted.
A dispatch says the statement of the
propositions published in New York pa
per on Tuesday is repeated.

POLICE CoURT-Seven cases turned up
in the Mayors Court yesterday morning,
and were summarily disposed of. Jennie
Cross, alias Amanda Murray, the keeper of
a house of ill fame on Third and Spring
streets, was arraigned and fined twenty
dollars. Two soldiers, arrested in her
house, were fined S. each, and were unable
to liquidate the account, but Jennie patrl-
otically volunteered to keep them off the
chaingang, and drew from her stocking the
snug sum of $37, which satisfied the vio-
lated law and ordinances. Two cases of
drunkenness, old acquaintances ofthe chain
gangs, and two cases of disorderly conduct,
dismissed with the usual sentence, COM
pleted the mornings business.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The administra-

authorities relating to pacifieation, nor is 1t
known that any such has been received; and
whatever may be the facts concerning
the reported conference at Niagara Falls,
the presumption here is that while there
has been no formal action on the part of
this Government looking to initiatOry
measures for negotiation of peace, it Is
not indisposed to hear from Niagara or
prominent rebels acting either rs volunteer
or authorized commissioners, may have to
say regarding this important subject; with
out, however, in any degree committing
itself to any propositions or views which
may be suggested. ~ t-.-r-srr frs.-.- p
