The Peace Propositions.

......... LOUISVILLE, Sept. 70.
The Sunday Journal says: 1t is stated
on what is deemed trustworthy author
ty, that Governor Brown, of Georgia,
has rendered peace propositions to Gen.
Sherman. The General has appointed
Commissioner to go into the rebel lines
and confer with the State authorities of
Georgia. Gov. Brown, it is said and be-
lieved :s sustained in his policy by
Alex. H. Stephens, who is operating in
the background. The Commissioners
are said to be already in conference with
the Governor, and the peace proposition
will soon be forwarded to Washington
for the Presidents approval. This is an
important movement, as Georgia, occu-
plying the position she does, may be con-
sidered the Keystone State Of the South
ern Confederacy. We are assured that
the story is true, and sincerely hope the
movement may meet with success.
No civilians of any kind will be grant
ed passes to Atlanta-not even members
of the Sanitary Commission.

g.. LOUISVILLE, Sept. 70.
On Friday part of Forests forces,
about four thousand strong, crossed the
Tennessee River, at Bates landing, in
Perry county, Tennessee His whole
force is estimated to be eight thousand
men, with ten guns. Col. Campbell and
the garrison at Athens, Ca, were attack
ed by a large force of rebels, and after
severe fight of two hours duration, were
forced to surrender. Several buildings,
including the depot, were set on fire.
Forrest, in person, was in Athens at 2
P. NJ. yesterday. A detachment of three
hundred men sent from Decatur to re-
inforce the garrison of Athens, are re-
ported to have been captured after an
obstinate engagement. Several prison
ers captured by Col. Crosser, near
Athens, report that they crossed at Flo
renee; that Forrest told them he would
have force enough to destroy both rail
roads and stay in Tennessee as long as
he pleased.
The rebel force has destroyed several
miles of the Tennessee and Alabama
railroad between Decatur and Athens.
There is no communication with Pulas-
Xxi, Tenn. An escaped prisoner reports
that the rebel Sam. Wheeler was at Cort-
land, Ala, yesterday morning The reb-
els were under three commanders, For
rest, Rhoddy and Biffies. Wheeler's
force was reported to have gone South
to join Hood in Georgia, and it is For
rests intention to capture Pulaski,
Franklin and Selbyville, and all the in
termediate block houses on the road. At
last accounts the rebels were moving on
Pulaski. No demonstration has been
made on the Chattanooga railroad.
A telegram from Pulaski reports that
heavy firing was heard in the direction
of Sulphur Branch and that the rebel
forces were operating against Elk river
bridge. All accounts agree that large
force is marching upon our defences on
this line, and proper means have been
taken to repel them.
Gen. Rousseau takes the field to-day

JOHN d. STEVENSON,
Brigadier- General,
Gen. Grant transmits the following
extract from the Richmond Sentinel of
yesterday : ..,....... .....
"a slight ripple of excitement was
produced here yesterday, by the report
that a raiding party was advancing on
Gordonsville, and were within few
miles of that place. The result of all
our inquiries on this head is that the re-
port originated from the fact that early
yesterday, party of Yankee raiders,
whose numbers are not known, visited
'Rapidan bridge, and after destroying it
proceeded to Liberty Mills, five miles
above, which they also destroyed
From this place they are believed to
have gone back to Oalpepper."
The operation alluded to by the Rich
mond Sentinel was by force sent out
previous to the battle of Monday.

NEW YORK, sept. 20.
An army correspondent of the Herald
states that the rebels have changed the
troops in front OF our lines In conse-
ouence of the heavy desertions.
The shottea salute of the 22d pretty
efiectually used up the rebel Spring Hill
battery, and Petersburg must have suf-
fered severely from the effects, we drop

Several casualties occurred to-day
from picket firing in front of the Third
division. A I'd corps Sergt. of the 4th
New York was shot through the head.
Private Farnsworth was also killed by
being shot in the eye while looking over
our works, at the same time shelling
was going on near by, This practice of
continual sharpShooting between pick
cts should be discontinued,
A deserter who came in Thursday
evening says the rebel army is very
much discouraged on account of Ea-ly's
defeat, and he thinks that before long
Lee will have to evacuate Richmond
and Petersburg. The people of Rich
mond and vicinity are suffering terribly
for the necessarles of life.
Richmond papers contain very little
news. They admit the defeat in the
Valley, giving their loss at $500, about
500 of whom are prisoners.
Rhodes divion lost 1000 men. They
state our (federaD loss at 5000 TO 5000.

nouncing the arrival of the first train of

idle to correct it so far as the rebels are
concerned, for they purposed it as a
falsehood to create mischievous public
opinion. The truth is that during the
truce four hundred and forty six fami-
lies were moved South making seven
hundred and fifty-five adults, eight hun
dred and sixty children, and four hun
dred and seventy-nine servants, with six
teen hundred and fifty one pounds of fur

THE FIRST EFFECT OF A BILIOUS

and inactivity Of the Liver, thereby preventing
the natural and free discharge of bile. All know
the lurking nature Of the poison that produces
Fever and Ague, and its kindred diseases. A
sallow complexion, caprcious appetite, and oc-
