PEACE PRorosrrIoSs. = Speaking on
the subject of propositions for peace ne
gotiations. the Marysvills Appeal says:
Although we have strenuously opposed the
idea Of the Government treating with rebels:
believing it beneath its dignity, and tending
to lower Its prestige and power; still we are
willing to relinquish 90 much of our haushti-
ness as to admit that It may be proper to send
Commissioners to Richmond to hear what
terms the rebels propose to US. They could
go and say 70 them: (" We are told 6y YOUR
sympathizing friends in the North, the peace
Democracy. that you are anxious for peace.
Is it trues What terms do you propose !"
After receiving their terms, or refusal TO
offer any, the Commissioners could return to
Washington and the Administration could
ask the people whether they were satisfactory.
II the Administration and the people did not
agree, the latter could settle the difference at
the polls. There is no objection at any time
to hearing proposals for peace from the reb-
els. We are WillingA admit that We are so
anxious to hear them, honorable or dishonor-
able, that We will place our ears even At the
gates Of Richmond to listen. What more
can We do: We must fight on or surrender
the Government.

THE EASTERN NEWS.


Our dispatches from the East to-day
announce that Sherman entered Atlanta
yesterday morning at 9 o'clock. This IS
probably the quickest dispatch that ever
reached the Pacific coast from Georgia.
An important battle has been fought with
the Indians. The sayages were massed to
the number of Eve thousand, but were de-
fested. Advices from Europe state that
the difficulty between the o. S. Consul
and the Egyptian Government had been
adjusted. Great Britain has made another
" neutrality" order which excludes our
War vessels from British ports for any
purpose of coafng, re6sting or repairing.

THE TWO COMMITTEES AND THE
TWO DEACONS.

The present attitude of the two Com
mittees, each declaring that with both
tickets in the field both will be defeated,
and each calling upon the other to resign
4" for the sake of harmony" reminds US Of
a little story-very old but very appropos:
We STOREY OF YE TWO DEAcoSs.
Once upon tyne there did dwelle in
certayne towue, two deacons, We boath of
whome were godlye men in whome there
was no guile. And it cayme to passe that
We congregation did declare ye old church
should be pulled downe, and new church
built upon ye syte thereof. And when
ye old church had been pulled downe, We
two deacons did meet to take counsel We
one with We other concerning that mate
rial of which ye new meetynge-houSe
should be builded. And the first one
that opened his mouthe and spake, said,
Verify, We house of We Lord shall be
builded of bricke," and behold We other
deacon did wax wroth and he swors, "As
ye Lord liveth and my soul hveth ye
meetynge-house shall be builded of stone"
And they went each man unto his own
house; and behold there was no meetynge
house. And all We congregation bewailed
themselves, saying, "beacause of We stiff
neckedness and perverseness of these dea-
cons there is no house in all We land
wherein ye Lord can be worshipped as
aforetime." And ye people did beseech
ye deacons that they would agree We one
with ye other. Then that deacon who
had swore that We house should be builded
of stone, went unto We house of him who
would have it builded of brick, and said
unto hym, Verify there is sore trouble in
We congregation because Of our perverse-
ness, and would it not be better for We
glory of God that we two should agree
upon that of which We house should be
builded:" And We other deacon an
swered hym and said, "Yea, verify"
Then said the other unto hymn, Brother,
thou must cor We glory of God agree to
build ye house of stone, for 1 will be
damned if it shall be builded of brick"
Then the other deacon did answer hymn,
saving, "You may go straishtway unto
helle." And there is no meetynse-house
in that towne unto this daye.

DATES TO YESTERDAY.

Later from the Army in Georgia.
NASHVILLE, August S1.-Sherman has
broken up his communications and NOV
ed south, to either compel Hood to move
out and fight him or stand siege with
out provisions. Sherman can subsist his
army of the country. The loss of Hoods
wagons during McCook's raid, five hun
dred in number, and severance of his rail-
road communications, has left him but a
few days rations. Matters will soon be
brought to a crisis.
Sherman entered Atlanta yesterday
morniaS Mt 8 o'clock.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 2.--General Ewing,
commanding the western district of Ken
lucky, has just received telegram from
the front announcing that Sherman's ad-
vance entered Atlanta, at 9 o'clock this
morning. No further particulars.
Latest from the Army Of the Potomac.
WASHINGTON, August --latest infor-
nation from the Army of the Potomac is,
that all was quiet yesterday. A number
of shell had been thrown into Petersburg
from the monster fifteen inch mortar, to
deter the rebels from firing on our pickets.
It seems to have had the desired effect.
Great Battle with Indians ON the
Frontier.

COUNTY TAX COLLECTOR.

JoHS W. EAsTERLrSs, Esq, is our can
didate for Tax Collector of Storey county.
We support him for the reason that he is
honest, capable, and attentive to his bust
ness. He formerly lived in Yuba and
Sierra counties, California, and as there
are many people here from those counties
who know Mr.. Easterlins of old, it is a
settled conclusion that he will receive
nearly all of their votes next Wednesday.
We trust all our friends will remember to
vote for him.

TIE MISSION OF wAR.-A distinguished
historian has truly said that philosophers
may dream OF peace, but war is the history OF

a people when they would suffocate in the

saved By war-oloody, vigorous war-there is
no help for them This treatment pnrihes,
harden, and ennobles them. The manly viz
tues Of courage and honor come TO be in de-
mand are cultivated and rewarded. Then

SCENE TO BLUSH AT.
went down to the Cosmopolitan last even
ing, at the grand opening to which the public
was generously but unwisely invited by the
proprietors, and am fain to say that / never
was more ashamed of my fellow-countrymen
and women in my life. The crowd was as
well dressed as any I have ever seen, and
would have been taken by an outsider for
mob Of ladies and gentlemen, but their con-
duct was enough to put to the blush gang
Of New Zealand cannibals. Thousands
blocked the street in front, frantically strug.
Cling for admission, and inside the scene
baffled all description. Rich curtains were
torn down, costly chairs smashed, vases of
artificial flowers wantonly torn to pieces and
demolished, magnificent carpets were nearly
ruined, and fist fights, followed by arrests by
the police, repeatedly occurred. Sixty wait
ers were in attendance, and twenty armed
policeman, but even then It was found inn
possible to restrain the brutal rabble, and it
was found necessary to turn of the gas and
gradually close the building before the hour
announced. The damage done to the furni-
ture cannot be repaired for less than 81 900.
Pickpockets, too, were busily at work, and
reaped rich harvest. And this is San Fran

Withdrawn.

Col. Howard has withdrawn from the can.
vass, as will be seen by the following Card,
which appeared in the Pime last evening:
To THE VOTERS OF STOREY COUNTY
After mature reflection, and reasonable an
ticipation of the result likely to follow the
continuation of so many Union candidates
in the field for the Office Of Sheriff, feel i'm
PEELED, by sense of duty, TO withdraw from
the contest, gather up the few fragments that
may be left me after paying my honest debts,
and leave the field to those who are willing
to abide the result. I am satisfied that, with
the present state Of affairs, Union candidate
for Sheriff cannot be elected, and am unwill-
ing to participate in the defeat by stubborn
contention for an official position and its
emoluments, which, however desirable to one
in my situation, should not be sought after
from selfish motives alone, but with due
regard for the best interests Of the commu-
nifty. therefore decline any further contest
for the Office Of Sheriff of Storey county, and
sincerely hope that others may follow my
example, and thus be enabled to say with me,
that " if the Union party is defeated the sin
shall not be at my door,"
/ have done my duty faithfully and impair
tally, and to the best Of my ability; have
spent what I have made in developing the
resources Of the country and benehtting its
citizens, and can retire with clear con-
science, and an abiding hope that my honesty
of purpose will be duly appreciated, and that
my successor, whoever he may be, will prove
to be honest, competent, loyal and true.

The War News.

Certain vague reports have been in circulation fol
some days past to the general effect that portion
of General Leess forces had crossed into the Lower
Valley Of Virginia. ........ ..-.. ....r........
With reference to these reports we may say that
General Early is undoubtedly in the Valley, with
several brgades of infantry and large body of
airy and THAI at last accounts he was in the neigh
bourhood of Winchester. 1t is not supposed, how
ever, that this movement implies any important
military design, especially it is known that there
is no forage in the Valley with which to subsist
cavalry force. There is no Yankee force at VIM,
chester, nearer to it than Bsrrygllle the county
seat of Clark, where some three or four thousands
of the enemy were said to be stationed some weeks
ago. e. :a. -.,.
The conjecture is not improbable that the present
division of Leos forces is intended to alleviate the
necessities of his army for supplies. There are
said to be considerable stores Of wheat in the Lower
Valley, but very little of any thing else A Staun'
ton paper conjectures that our forces will payal
visit to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad but Gen.
Lee has long ago expressed the opinion, that the
raids this road, owing to the enemys facilities
OF repair, are losing adventures. res.-Riehmo"d H.

AsSENrEEs IHoS TIE ARXY-A correspondent
.! tne Richmond DispdtcA writing from the army
Of Virginia, says!
Our armies need recruiting or the ranks of those
in the field need filling up. How shall this be &C.
complishedf Ny answer is ready at hand Bring
back the absentees, of whom will venture there
is to day not less than fifty per cent of this army
L have recently converSed with the commanders Of
three different brigades this important question
One of chem told me that in his brigade forty per
cent were absent; another told me that in his br-
gade forty five per cent were absent and another fifty
per cent Taking the Of these three statements
as the average it will appear that forty-tve per
cent of this army is absent from it The inquiry
which very readily presents itself to every is,
where are these menI answer that they are at
home detailed as conscript catchers provost guards
passport clerks, attaches to quartermasters, CON-
mssaries, and hospitals, and very large class are
hanging around loose on Surgeons certificates,
whilst not small class are absent without permIs-
sion or excuse and yet the names of these men are
borne upon the muster rolls of honor OF the Army
of Northern Virginia. Ought these things so to be
Can they not be renediedp I believe they can. To
begin the present conscrpt organization of the
State OF Virginia is a positive nuisance. The men
who are thus engaged so contrive that the duty OF
collecting conscTps shall be incidental to their pri-
vate duties rather than the public BUSINESS Of their
lives. The sooner then, all those who are thus en-.
gagged shall be relieved and returned to their COM
mandS the better for the army and the country"
If this be true, then half the army of Virginia is
absent; aud it was stated not long since by Mr..
Hill, member of Congress from Georgia, that one.

of Missionary Ridge It would be much better, il
