The Georgia Peace Movement Again—Stephenes Position RILTESIORE, Oct. 14 The Raleigh, N. C., papers of the 4th ins.t, state that a letter is hourly expected from the rebel Vice-President Stephens, defining his position and views upon the peace question, now agitating the public mind of Georgia. The same paper has the following remarkable statement: 'Tice-President Stephens has told gentle men in this city that his views incline strongly to an immediate effort for peace by negotia tion. Mr. Stephens is represented as saying that he thought the time had come for the people of the South to make known to those of the North, especially the peace party of that section, that they are ready to settle upon the basis of the sovereignty of the States and to restore the old 'Government, should the North guarantee the right of property, and the majority of the people so declare. "The gentleman who furnishes the news is a man of high character. He saw and con- - versed with the • Vice President, and would not be likely to misrepresent, and yet there are many who can hardly credit the story. Mr. Stephens has written a letter for publioa lion, and the matter will soon be put at rest:" The same paper says that "there is a pow erful and growing desire in Georgia to stop the war now. We have no doubt of it, but we hardly expected such gentlemen as Vice President Stephens and Governor Brown to lend themselves in favor of reconstruction upon any terms." From Washington.
