talking about a Peace Proposi: ion soon to

Socrthern people ere long, bnt whether it
willbe ot socb acharacter as they would

hem a proposition without the abandonment
of their institution' of slavery there is no
' question bat what they wjii accept terms of
- peace, conciliation and compromise. The
' people of the South, save the leaders, are
m neb more anxious for a cessation of hostilities-than
the people of the North." We
- would like to see this war brought to ac'oe
"wi'hont any more blood being shed if any-
' wise possible. Bot at this late day we have
very little confidence in the -ability of Mr.
Lincol to bring it 10 a speedy close unless
- h acknowledge the Southern Confederacy,
which every man North would cry loud
against. The masses north are tor a restor
ed Union. They want the Constitction
" as it is, and th Ukios -as it was. That
kind of Union we lived and prospered on
der second to no other nation on earth. I
was good enough for us then and it is pood
; enough for cs now. We would a?k Mr
Lincoln to give'ns back the Laws and tub
Umos as they were when he received thera
and the whole country, north and south,
" would have just caut-e to rejiiic. In orJer
'that Mr. Likcolw accomplish so much; that
is give us back the vhcle Union ; he will
onqnestionably be obliged to come down to
the true Yallancighjm doctrine, of Peace,

From the Dflily Age o the 17.'A. .
General Sherman's movements are still
clothed in mystery. The belief now is that
Sherman has not given up Atlanta, but,
using it as a base, has started off on a gi
gantic raid similar to "the one made last
spring from Vicksborg. Kis Intention seems
to be to go to Columbus, in Georgia, a town
on the Chattahoochee, about 85Tniles south
of Atlanta. He ' hopes to destroy various
large stores of provinions which the Confed
erates have collected for the uce of their ar
mies during lhe"winter, and also to break
their railroad communications between the
Mississippi and the Atlantic seaboard
Though Sherman uses Atlanta as a base,
and siil ! holds it by a strong garrison, 1 here j
is not much probability that he will return
there. Hood's armv beina north of him.
( may intercept his retreat, and he will have
to go westward towards Vicksburg. Ave
have no definite intelligence from General
Sherman yet, and nothing can be positively
paid of his progress or his objects.
On Sunday last General Early. n the
Shenandoah Valley, had advanced his main
body northward to Strasburg aud occupied it.
Cavalry reconnoissances were sent north
ward towards Wioc'iestir. The Federal
cavalry met one of them on Sunday morn
ing, near Newtown, about six miles south
of Winchester, and after a small fight, tha
Confederates retreated two miles lo Middle
town. Middletown is now their outpost.
It is eight miles south of Winchester. .
Kearnstown, four miles south of. VV inches
ter, is Sheridan's outpost. The main body
of ire Confederate troops were on Sunday
at Strasburg and. Fisher's Hill. The main
body of Sheridan's army was at Winches
ter, and east of the Opequan. There is a
general belief that a large portion of Sheri
dan's troopn have already gone to Grant'
army by way of Harper's Ferry, and tnai

During nearly all 'fie lime, the Confedera e

deep enough to float the largest iron clad

be completed in the last week of Novem
ber, and then a grand attadk upon Rich
mond naval and military will be made.
General Bmler has leturned to the army at
Petersburg. On Tuesday, Grant, Admiral
Porter, and 'he Assistant Secretary ol ihe
Navy had a consultation at Fonre Mon-
i roe. the uonlederates in Iront ot Grant s

that Geueral Bntler is to succeed Santon as
Secre ary ot War.
From England we have a report that on
October 17th. Capt. Semmes and a crew,
embarked at Fuctchal on a new Alabama,
and sailed towards Bermuda.
There has been no news since vesterdav
of the reported Confederate raid upon the
Southren Pennsylvania border.
From the Age of the IS
There i very little news through North
ern channels this morning. That received
from. Southern sources, especially from the
south west, is very import ant.
The account printed some lime s:nce of
General Sherman's return to Atlanta, with
(our corps, is luiiy confirmed. He arived
there on November 7th. Our intelligence
dotes on the 8th, at wicb time Sherman,
with his troops, were still in A lanta, and
save indications of an advance southward,
as if an attack upon Macon or Colunttus
were intended. Hood had not arrived at
that time at At'anta. The position ot his
army wa not mentioned. We already have
information of his crossing the Coosa River
on Lis march southward.
The capture and destruction of Johnson
vi!!e by Genera! Forrest is also confirmed.
Forrest lost ten men wounded. He. burned
the town and ue-troyed four gnnboa s ol
eight guns each ; fourteen Tansports ; twen
tv barges ; over twenty thousand tons of
freight on the water, and three million dol
lars worth of stores on boafd. He capiured
thirty-two cannon.
The capture of Decature, Alabama, on
October 2Sih is also confirmed. T he conted
erates took three thousand Federal priso
ners, some cl them negroes, and then aban
doned ihe town. A Federal force Irom
Bridgeport and Chattanooga had re-occupied
Decainr ai last accounts, all ihe Con
tederate troops having gone southward.
There is an indication, though not very
clear as yet,' that Sheridan has abandoned
Winchester, Bnd retreated to the east side
of the Opequan. Eariy is reported to have
entered U mchester on Saturday lat In
the lecent cavalry contest near Front Royal,
the Confederals report having captured
two hundred Federal prisoners. General
Erory now cemmantis one of Sheridan corps
All is quiet at Petersburg. General Butter
arived yesterday at his head -juftrters, on thn.
north bank of th-james. and resumed com
mand. The correspondents in that quarter
say that the Confederates are preparm" to
attack Grant '
The report that General Canby was woun
ded by a guerrilla whilst sailing in a gm
boat up White River, Arkanias, is con
firmed. The woaud, though not mortal, i
dangerous. Ftcm the Age fj the I9A
We are at length able to give a solution
of General Sherman' mys'erious move
ments. Sherman had oh November 9;h
forty-seven thonsand men, ten thou-and ot
whom were cavalry. These he divided in
to two column. The first column left At
lanta on November 9th, and marched south
10 Macon, Georgia. From there it was the
intention to go io Milledgeville, ihe capital
ol the State, whera a large number ol Fed
eral prisoners were confined These are to
be released, and tbe colamn. will then turn
east to Augusta On Novenber 12th, the
second column of Sherman's army left At
lanta, going-directly towards Augusta. It
was hoped that a junction of the two col
umns could be effected by Nov. 26;!i, when
a march eastward to Savannah, or Charles
ton, was to be made. Sherman carries six
ty days' provisions with him, principally
droves of cattle, which can be taken aion
without much trouble. W Lave infor
mation from Southern .sources that a con
test had been fought at Ronh and Ready,
on the railroad runnincr from Atlanta to Ma
con; between the advance of one of Sher
man' column's and some-Georgia State
troops. There is little doubt tha; The State
troops were defeated, and. then the colamn
poshed successfully forward. Hood, on
November 12th, was at Toscartibia, Ala
bama, ionth of the Coosa River, and wa
Atlanta. Forrest's troops have arrived at
Corinth from Johnson ville, and the Mem
phis people are again in a panic for fear of
a raid. On November 12th, when Sherman
evacuated Atlanta, he destroyed every thing
in it which would be of advantage to the
Confederates. The town is now unoccupi
ed, and Hood can enter it onoppo-ed;
From the Shenandoah Valley we have
information that General Early, on Monday
last, withdrew from Strasburg and Middle
town, and went to Fisher's Hill. Sheridan
did nnt pursne. His army is still in the
neighborhood of Winchester, though a large
detachment bas been 6ent io Gen. Grant's
camp. On Tuesday, some guerrillas, be
iween Harper's Ferry and Winchester, cap
tured twenty-one Federal cavalry men, out
of a sqoad of twenty-five. The other four
were killed or wounded.
On Tuesday last General Butler passed
through Washington on his way to Grant's
camp. Tiie President offered him ihe post
of Secretary ot War. Butler neither ac
cepted nor declined. Stanton is so extreme
ly ill that he is compelled to give up the
office. '
The people of Hagersto.vn are in a fever
over an imaginary guerrilla raid across the
Potomac. They are drilling, and prepar
ing to defend themselves. The raiders
have not been heard ot, however.
General Canby has arrived at New Or
