LOUISVILLE, Monday, Sept. 26.
The Sunday Journal says:
It is stated, on what is deemed as trustworthy authority, that Gov. BROWN, of Georgia, has tendered peace propositions to Gen. SHERMAN. The General has appointed commissioners to go into the rebel lines and confer with the State authorities of Georgia. Gov. BROWN, it is rumored and believed, is sustained in his policy by ALEX. H. STEPHENS, who is operating in the back-ground. The commissioners are said to be already in conference with the Governor, and the peace propositions will soon be forwarded to Washington, for the President's approval. This is an important movement, as Georgia, occupying the position she does, may be considered the key-stone State of the Southern Confederacy. We are assured that the story is true, and sincerely hope that the movement may meet with success. No civilians of any kind will be granted passes to Atlanta, not even members of the Sanitary Commission.
